WrestleMania 2012 News, Shawn Michaels Update and More

- Friday’s teleconference with WWE officials and a committee in Vancouver to discuss bringing WrestleMania to the city will also include the Vancouver Athletic Commission. WWE made the decision back in February that they want to go ahead and decide the WrestleMania host cities for 2012, 2013 and 2014, from the list of cities we listed last week that have put in bids.

- People in the media who asked WWE for an interview with Shawn Michaels this past week were told by WWE officials that Shawn is really retired and not doing interviews.

- Several of the top talents in WWE were not happy about Jim Ross being off the WrestleMania 26 announcing team. Matt Striker’s some-what odd announcing at WrestleMania was a huge topic of discussion. For what it’s worth, Striker was being coached to come across the way he did.

    Striker is new, but I like him. Cole and Lawler needs to go, they are too boring.

    I like Striker he was a great wrestler & he’s an even better announcer, Michael Cole is trash & how the guy still has a job in the WWE is beyond me! While to me King & JR are the “tag-team” of commentators Stryker should have gone to RAW & been put with Lawler while JR’s out.

    Schiavone?!?!? are you kidding me? he called practically every move in the book a sidewalk slam. he only sounded good because he new how to play off of heenan and tenay.

    Schiavone (not Shavine) is about as terrible as Cole. They should both be deported to hell for crimes against wrestling.

    the reason the king sucks now is cuz he doesnt have JR to play off of, the announce team should go back to wut it was when i started watching, with king, jr, and vince and then in 98 when shane-o mac joined the team those were the good ol days
