– It’s said that there is still a significant disconnect between Vince McMahon and the WWE producers as they are the ones getting blamed for guys like Big Show, Sheamus, Kane and even Randy Orton not getting over as they should or as they are expected to. One source close to the situation noted that the producers feel fans are tired of seeing the same characters, especially the ones that are seen as “past their prime.”
– USA Network is reportedly very disappointed with the ratings for this new season of Tough Enough and there are already rumblings that the show won’t be brought back unless there’s a big turnaround. Apparently WWE is planning on doing a new season even if USA doesn’t renew as production costsare low and they can air it on the WWE Network.
– There are issues for WWE Total Divas also. There was talk that people at the E! network feel the show is running its course and the current season, season 4, could be the last but some were hoping for a 5th season.
