“Rumor on Concern in WWE with Triple H Taking Over for Vince McMahon”
There’s a “rumor” from a “source” being “reported” by The Wrestling Observer that there is “concern” in the WWE about Triple H holding down the fort after Vince McMahon steps down. And I quote…
F4WOnline reports that many within the WWE were surprised when Triple H used the term “hijack” on TV because Vince McMahon would “never” have used that term on air, especially after it was being used all over the internet going into this week’s edition of Raw in Chicago. According to a source in WWE, the biggest concern of Vince McMahon stepping down and Triple H taking over is that Triple H would let the internet “get to him.”
Here’s the thing: I don’t believe for a second that Dave Meltzer has a source telling him this. That part is total bullshit. But I do believe this bit of speculation is 100% right. This is exactly what Trips would do.
Davey Richards buries everyone in Ring of Honor not named Jeff Jones, basically at the first opportunity given. He states that Hunter “Delirious” Johnston “inadequate at his job and he got his job more for being spineless than being talented.” Oh, “And the owner (Joe Koff) is even worse, he could care less about wrestling. He just wants to do television.”
Umm, Delirious has ROH on a roll right now. Every ROH booker has had their ups and downs, from Gabe Sapolsky to Adam Pearce to Delirious. And Joe Koff? He works for Sinclair, television is his job!
A tradition started at the end of each point when I wrote The Wrestling 5&1, “You Decide!” is your chance to weigh in on a major question facing professional wrestling each week. Vote once per hour, and leave your opinions in the comments section!
Last week I asked who you thought has the biggest “arrival” at NXT ArRIVAL. Your answer? Ole!
While I didn’t care to talk more about CM Punk and Monday’s Raw, I do want to know, if after what we saw in Chicago, if and when you see Punk finding his way back to the WWE.
Voting closes Wednesday night!
In wrestling today, there is no show quite like Raw. Giving us moments and memories that we will cherish forever, and some we’d rather not ever recall again. This space is the chance to look back in time, each week, to a Raw memory.
We all remember the above referenced classic Chris Jericho vs. Rob Van Dam showdown from 2013 on Raw. But that’s obviously not the first time they’ve torn it up on Raw. I take you back nearly eleven years to October 27, 2003, where they fought not once but twice during Raw.

NWA World Women’s Champion Barbi Hayden is back as your DeMarcette of the Week!
Did you know I was the first person she followed on Twitter? Yep. You can follow Barbi on Twitter at @barbihayden!
Sunday night Barbi joins us on The Greg DeMarco Show on the VOC Nation! We’ll have Lockdown reaction and much more!
Please allow me to share these again, from last week:
Bonnie “Rain” Maxon, as you should know, is one of my favorite female competitors ever. She is the perfect combination of beauty, brains and in-ring skill. She was in a horrific car accident that’s had her in the hospital for a two weeks now (since Valentine’s Day).
You also might know that she’s both a pro wrestler and someone starting a business—which means she doesn’t exactly have health insurance! Those bills will mount up, and friends and family have started a Give Forward donation site. If you feel so moved, please contribute. They are half-way to the goal already:

Then we have the story of DeMarcette Allie Parker’s brother, Ryan Kelso. Ryan has been battling Type 1 Diabetes for 20-years that caused blindness (which was corrected) and has now become Stage Renal Disease. Ryan is now in need of a kidney transplant, and this Give Forward site is to raise the $25,000 needed just to get on the list:

Life is short, people—make the most of it, and give back!
