WWE ‘Releases’ The Miz & R-Truth, New WWE Diva?

– UK fitness model and TV host Carly Thornton, 30 years old, will be getting a tryout with WWE at the SmackDown tapings in Liverpool this November. She told The Basildon Recorder:

“If I get taken on by WWE, I will be off to Miami to do the training, and then I will go from there. It would be absolutely fantastic if I was offered a contract. I do like wrestling, I love all action sports. I have no experience of actual wrestling, but I’ve done boxing and mixed martial arts. I also went to drama school, so I am an entertainer. I have tried out for Gladiators in the past.”

– WWE.com posted the following today: WWE has come to terms on the release of The Miz and R-Truth as of today, Sept. 19, 2011. WWE wishes Miz and R-Truth the best in all of their future endeavors. Of course, this is all a storyline and is similar to what they did with Kevin Nash.

Who came up with ‘Little Jimmy’?, Mysterio

– R-Truth did a recent interview with Charlotte Magazine and revealed that the “Little Jimmy” phrase was the idea of Vince McMahon. Truth also told the magazine that he ad-libs 90% of his promos and that he’s still working on a hip-hop mixtape.

– In keeping with the storyline from Monday’s RAW where WWE temporarily wrote Rey Mysterio off TV with the Alberto Del Rio injury angle, Mysterio commented on Twitter today. Rey wrote that he was injured on Monday by Del Rio and was at the doctors getting an MRI done. Rey said he won’t know the results of the MRI until next week.

As noted before, Rey actually had a legit MRI done on his knee last week and the latest word is that he will miss time away from the ring but won’t be going in for surgery as he’s chosen to go through more rehab instead.

Piper Praises Punk, Foley’s WWE Return?, Ryder-WWE

– WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper recently did an interview with The Post & Courier where he commented on CM Punk: “He says what he felt. Imagine if we had people writing them (promos) back in the day.
