Dos Caras Jr. To WWE Update, What’s Ric Flair Doing?, Backstage News

» SITE NOTE: Here we go again. They are now calling for 4-8 inches of snow tonight and then sleet and freezing rain all day tomorrow with nearly an inch of ice. This storm is expected to be worse than the ice storm several weeks ago which knocked out power here in the office for 3 days. They are basically saying that the power will be out yet again (ice creates havoc on power lines) which means news updates on the site may be a little slow over the next day or so. I expect to be around tomorrow (Wednesday) during the morning and afternoon but after that remains to be seen. Lets hope for the best!

» Rumors out of Mexico are that that Dos Caras Jr. will start at the Royal Rumble. Of course, there have been many rumors regarding his signing and start date over the last few months.

» The Ric Flair reality show is currently in the process of being pitched to networks.

» Flair’s deal with Wal-Mart and Coca-Cola, to be a corporate motivational speaker, is on again with Flair booked for 17-dates. Coca-Cola had pulled out of the deal when Flair got some negative publicity over the fight with his daughter and a friend of hers, which left Flair with a black eye.

» The offer from the NWA for Flair to be their “TV Figurehead” is still on the table. This deal would be for 43-dates, for both TV and selected house shows. Flair is waiting to see what happens with the reality show before he commits to another project.
