Some sources report that frustration among the WWE creative team, mainly due to Vince McMahon's WrestleMania moods, is high. A lot of the non-wrestling employees of the company are talking about how hard it can be working under Vince McMahon. When Vince is constantly changing his mind on things, that creates a lot more work for employees that is seen as unnecessary.

Vince has been a lot harder to work for as of late with the snapping at people and constantly changing storyline directions. It's said that the only ones immune to Vince's behavior are the wrestlers, as he hardly ever has a negative word to say to them, instead dishing out all the abuse to the staff.

Also as noted yesterday, WWE is fighting hard to prevent news leaks. There is a bigger company directive right now to prevent the leaks than ever before. Vince is said to be obsessed with stopping news from leaking out and those close in command to Vince are making that very clear to the people working under them.

TNA superstar Sonjay Dutt, who is about to be let go from TNA, says that everyone on the TNA roster has a desire to be in the WWE.

"Any professional wrestler - ask everybody in TNA no matter where you are - they're going to want to be in WWE," Dutt told World Band Media radio. "That's the top; that's the best. Every professional wrestler deep down in their heart wants to be in WWE."

Dutt said the top stars however probably enjoy working for TNA more than WWE due to the easier schedule and generous pay. "WWE's schedule is so insane and hectic, so for a guy like Sting who has put his time into the business, he doesn't need to be on the road," Dutt said. "TNA is a good option. It has a light schedule to make the kind of money they want to make."

Dutt's contract with TNA expires at the end of the month. He's headed to Japan this weekend for a tour with Zero1, then he's back on the independent circuit in the United States. There have been rumors that WWE is interested in Dutt, which he obviously hopes are true. Dutt believes he could be a valuable asset to WWE for their upcoming tour of India and progressive international expansion in Southeast Asia.Justify Full

According to Entertainment Weekly, Survivor: Amazon winner Jenna Morasca will now try to survive in the ring in her new career: professional wrestler. The woman who once got naked for chocolate and peanut butter, and later on the cover of Playboy, has joined TNA Wrestling and will make her debut Thursday, March 12, at 9 PM on Spike TV's TNA iMPACT!.

"Everyone is covered in glitter and makeup and stuff and then goes and beats the crap out of each other," Morasca said about what attracted her to wrestling. "This is perfect for me."

Although she won't actually wrestle at first, Morasca will indeed start fighting after taking a "crash course" in the sport. Unfortunately, the 28-year-old reality star has declined to take on a sassy new name and identity for the ring.

"I'm gonna be me because it's more beneficial to know it's me from Survivor," she explains. "If I had to take a name, it would be a terrible stripper name like Candy Cane Lane."

And what happens if someone puts chocolate and peanut butter in the ring? "Oh, then it's on! Death to all!"

Rory and Robbie McAllister made up The Highlanders tag team that was a 2000s version of The Bushwhackers. They didn't see potential as a comedy tag team, though. Rory says it was Vince McMahon's idea and he was vocal against McMahon's vision.

The team debuted on TV in June 2006 with a series of vignettes showing them adjusting to life in the United States after growing up in Scotland. Rory says he was disappointed with the direction WWE chose for their tag team.

"I was disappointed, but not surprised," Rory told Slam Wrestling about WWE's decision on how to present their tag team. "When they decided to go in the direction that they went in, I was pretty vocal against it. I wasn't a big fan of the whole goofy thing at all."

Rory says he talked to Vince McMahon before they ever went on TV and said fans wouldn't take the team seriously as an act worth spending money to see. He told Vince he wasn't a fan of the decision.

"I had that discussion with him and he was like, 'Let's see how it goes,'" Rory said. "It pretty much played out like I expected it to."

The team was relegated to mid-card status and they appeared infrequently on TV until being released in August 2008. Robbie McAllister says they had no chance, though, because of WWE's anti-tag team policy.

"It's hard to be successful in today's wrestling because, number one, Vince McMahon doesn't really like tag team wrestling," Robbie said. "That's the understanding we kept hearing from producers and agents and stuff like that. So, right off the gun, you have a blackball against you, if you're trying to become a main stage in WWE."Justify Full

BOSTON – With just weeks to go before the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, Raw rolled into Boston – the very city that hosted WWE's biggest event in 1998 – for a show full to the brim with shocking announcements regarding the matches set to take place on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Both World Title Matches were set on Monday night, as 2009 Royal Rumble winner Randy Orton announced his intention to challenge Triple H for the WWE Title, and Vickie Guerrero informed her shocked husband, World Heavyweight Champion Edge, that he would be defending his title against The World's Largest Athlete, Big Show.

John Cena def. World Heavyweight Champion Edge by disqualification; Edge retained the title and will defend it against Big Show at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania
Following a knockout defeat at the hands of Big Show on SmackDown the Friday before, John Cena was in just the kind of shape that World Heavyweight Champion Edge wanted him in for their World Title rematch. But in spite of the beating he suffered just days before at the hands of The World's Largest Athlete, Cena was in rare form, taking the fight to the Rated-R Superstar with such intensity that his victory seemed to be imminent. Sensing the danger that his title was in, the Master Manipulator Edge ended the match by disqualifying himself, preventing his opponent from regaining the title.

As the World Heavyweight Champion sat on the stage, finally thinking himself safe, he was joined by his wife Vickie Guerrero, who shocked her husband by announcing who he would defend his title against at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania: Big Show.

Cowboy Bill Watts joined the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2009

Shawn Michaels def. Vladimir Kozlov, ending his undefeated streak and earning the right to face Undertaker at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania; The Phenom appeared
The week before had seen Shawn Michaels defeat his former employer JBL in an effort to earn the right to face Undertaker at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. But there was another Superstar who harbored ambitions of ending The Phenom's historic 16-0 streak at WrestleMania: SmackDown's Vladimir Kozlov. On Raw, HBK squared off against the imposing Moscow Mauler, with the winner earning his spot on The Grandest Stage of Them All. In spite of Kozlov's superior strength and power, Michaels persevered, putting an end to his opponent's winning streak, and earning an opportunity to end that of Undertaker as well. But HBK's celebrations were cut short by the sound of a bone-chilling gong that heralded the arrival of Undertaker, who made an ominous gesture toward his WrestleMania opponent.

Randy Orton decided to face WWE Champion Triple H at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, stipulating that The Game may not touch him until then
Arriving with a full entourage including his "Legacy," a group of lawyers and a team of security, Randy Orton took to the ring on Monday night to make a huge announcement regarding the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. Defying the WWE Universe's expectations, the 2009 Royal Rumble winner announced that he would not be facing WWE Champion Triple H, but would instead challenge the winner of the World Heavyweight Title Match between John Cena and Edge, scheduled for later that evening. Furthermore, the Legend Killer stated his plans to press charges against The Game for his sledgehammer assault the week prior.

As if on cue, the WWE Champion himself appeared and entered the ring. Triple H taunted Orton, stating that he doesn't have what it takes to face him and even calling the young Superstar gutless for refusing to challenge him – an act The Cerebral Assassin claims that the third-generation Superstar desperately wants to commit. Giving in to the pressure, Orton changed his mind, deciding that he would face Triple H at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania for the WWE Title, stipulating that if the WWE Champion lays his hands on him before then, that he would move forward with the aforementioned criminal charges. After The Game agreed to these conditions, it was Orton's turn to do the taunting as he described to Triple H how good it felt when he RKO'd his wife, Stephanie. Though The Cerebral Assassin kept his agreement not to touch Orton, he promised that when they meet, he'll break the Legend Killer's neck.

Mickie James & Kelly Kelly def. Beth Phoenix & Jillian; Divas Champion Maryse attacked Women's Champion Melina after the match
As usual, Beth Phoenix came to the ring in full force, accompanied by her beau Santino Marella as well as her fanatical intern, Rosa Mendes. As both Women's Champion Melina and Divas Champion Maryse looked on, The Glamazon and her tag team partner, Jillian, took on the team of Mickie James & Kelly Kelly. In spite of Phoenix's immense power and her unscrupulous associates, she was unable to score a victory as Kelly Kelly pinned Raw's tone-deaf songstress for the win. Not content to walk away with a loss, Beth & Jillian started a brawl with their opponents, drawing Melina to the ring. But when the Women's Champion was climbing up, Divas Champion Maryse pulled her off of the apron and hit the Women's champion with a vicious DDT, the culmination of the two's verbal sparring throughout the match.

Kane def. Rey Mysterio and Mike Knox in a Triple Threat Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
With the Money in the Bank briefcase motivating them high above the ring, Rey Mysterio, Kane and Mike Knox faced off in a Triple Threat Match with a slot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match on the line. Though recent weeks had seen the two gigantic Superstars work together, Kane kept his eyes firmly on the prize as he pinned the Desert Destroyer to earn his spot at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. Following the match, the Big Red Monster chokeslammed his other opponent, leaving the Master of the 619 lying on the mat in his destructive wake.

Chris Jericho hosted Piper's Pit, then insulted and attacked WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka
Mocking the classic interview segment hosted by WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Chris Jericho held with his own version of Piper's Pit, even making use of the original set. The nefarious Superstar proceeded to show footage of the segment's most infamous incident, in which Piper brutally attacked Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, before welcoming Snuka himself to his imitation Piper's Pit. Continuing the trend established in recent weeks, Jericho insulted Snuka, going so far as to call the WWE Hall of Famer a disgrace.

Further crossing the line, the self-proclaimed "best in the world today" imitated Piper and Snuka's classic confrontation, offering "Superfly" various tropical fruits. But Jericho's arrogance once again got the better of him, as Snuka grabbed hold of a coconut, using it to threaten the first-ever Undisputed Champion and chase him from the set. As soon as Snuka began to take in the WWE Universe's adulation however, the cowardly Jericho carried out a craven attack, knocking the Piper's Pit set on top of Snuka and then whipping the Legend with his belt.

Raw opened with a huge announcement for later in the night. As decreed by Raw interim General Manager Vickie Guerrero, just days after his knockout defeat at the hands of Big Show, John Cena would be awarded his rematch against World Heavyweight Champion Edge, with the title on the line.
