Hardy Speaks On Chris Benoit, WrestleMania 29 Touted, Dancing With The Stars

- WrestleMania celebrity Maria Menounos was eliminated from ABC's Dancing with the Stars this week. WWE Diva Lilian Garcia commented:

"Congrats @mariamenounos 4 doing SO amazing on DWTS! I'm still in shock that u didn't win, but wow u r quite an inspiration! Luv ya girl!"

Speaking of DWTS, they will hold their first-ever All-Star Season this coming Fall with cast members who have appeared in the past. They are keeping tight on casting for the season but it's always possible that Chris Jericho could be invited back.

- While announcing the 2013 Major League Baseball All-Star game yesterday, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg touted WWE's WrestleMania 29 as a major event coming to the area next year.

- Matt Hardy wrote the following on Twitter yesterday regarding WWE's policy of not mentioning Chris Benoit:

"I totally understand why WWE has adopted a non-Benoit policy, that's a business move to attempt to distance themselves from Chris's terrible final actions. My point is that I don't have to cater to & speak by "WWE history", as opposed to actual, factual history. WWE can treat the Benoit situation as if he never existed, but in reality, he absolutely did."
