RANDY ORTON UPDATE, LEGEND CONFIRMS HE'S SIGNED FOR WWE REALITY SERIES, TOP FLIGHT ACTOR SHOOTS DOWN ALLEGED ROLE IN BENOIT MOVIE AND MUCH MORE

With the cancellation of Sunday's Smackdown event in Texas, several talents from that side of the roster will instead work the Raw house show in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  Randy Orton is among the names added to the New Mexico lineup, so it may be this coming week is when he will be cleared to return from his back injury.

In an interview with Arda Ocal on The Score in Canada, Gene Okerlund confirmed he will be involved with the WWE Network's Reality series "Legends House."  While the initial plan was to film in Florida, I've heard it will instead be shot in California with some of the same production team that worked on the most recent season of Tough Enough signing on.

One of the Wrestlemania 28 theme songs will be “Invincible” by Machine Gun Kelly.

During a press junket for his new film "The Grey", Liam Neeson shot down a rumor that he was going to play Vince McMahon in the proposed Chris Benoit movie.  Neeson said he didn't know anything about the film, nor much about Benoit or McMahon and didn't think it would be something he'd be interested in, according to WorstPreviews.com. Having worked in that world, I can tell you that someone of Neeson's stature isn't signing on for a project (unless it's his own film that he's producing) without seeing a script.
