- The following comes from Kris Zellner's Lucha Report:
WWE
World Heavyweight Champion Alberto del Rio gave an interview with Yahoo!
Deportes over the weekend where he admitted that Mexico isn’t in the
WWE plans anymore due to declining a economy, attendances, ratings, and
even piracy. ADR said that once WWE sees that a market is beyond saving
in their minds then they would turn their attention to newer markets.
ADR said that a couple of years ago Mexico was held in high regard by
the promotion but their last tour there last year was considered a flop
in their eyes with the lack of merchandise sold being a key factor in
determining that the product just wasn’t hot anymore. ADR spoke of his
future and said while he hopes to return to Mexico one day he feels a
deep sense of gratitude to the WWE for giving him the opportunity that
made him a superstar and they stood by him in very difficult situations.
ADR said that the WWE is like family and when he retires he hopes to
become a road agent where he will be able to share his experiences with
younger talent to help them grow to become superstars like him.

WWE NXT wrestler CJ Parker has been out of action for a few months with a
wrist injury. Parker tweeted about how today is a "huge day" because he
will be visiting doctors to find out when he is able to return.
