LATEST ON WWE SUMMERSLAM, INTERNAL WWE REACTION TO NY METS' EVENT, TOTAL DIVAS, NXT STAR HELPS SAVE WOMAN AND MORE WWE NEWS

A lot of the publicity material being used for the "Legends of Wrestling" event this June at The New York Mets' Citi Field Stadium was yanked overnight, which probably means someone from WWE sent a cease and desist. A lot of the names and publicity photos being used were WWE-owned materials. The event, due to the size and scope of the stadium, really seemed to shock those we spoke to within WWE and there was unhappiness about some of the names being used since WWE will be in the same market with Summerslam, AXXESS, etc. within the same time span.

The frontrunner for Summerslam's new location we have heard is The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY but nothing has been officially set in stone.

Filming for the fourth season of Total Divas should begin anytime.

WWE NXT star Solomon Crowe noted online that he just happened to be in the right place at the right time in Florida as an SUV overturned and he and another onlooker were able to rip the door off and help the driver out.

Mark Henry was at the Reality of Wrestling event promoted by Booker T over the weekend and was said to have dropped a good amount of weight and looked awesome.

Online in the PWInsider Elite section today is an exclusive interview with former WWE and current Lucha Underground star John Hennigan aka Morrison/Mundo as part of his media jaunt today discussing the new family wrestling comedy "Russell Madness" which will be released on 3/10 on DVD and Blu-Ray, his lead heel role, the irony of having to do a pro wrestling entrance and promo for his audition, his own writing and film projects that he's working on, thoughts on Lucha Underground as it continues to evolve, advice to those seeking to go through the WWE Tough Enough process, reflections on making "Russell Madness", the potential of taking the concept to a new "Air Bud"-like children's film franchise, whether the old Hollywood adage of never working with children or animals is true and more.
