WWE Nuggets from the Wrestling Observer

Coming back soon? MAYBE

Man, the 2/28 edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is full of tasty nuggets. First up, the WWE higher ups trolled the shit out of the roster and lower-level workers of the company before RAW last week by convincing everyone that the guest host of WrestleMania would be Justin Bieber and not The Rock. The episode was even titled "Leave it to Bieber" (like TNA, WWE names its episodes, unlike TNA, it's kept internal rather than plastered over the screen before the show begins). Here's a picture of Vince McMahon thinking up this plan:

Seriously though, how pissed off would that live crowd have been if it was Bieber walking through the curtain? The WWE would have had to have closed at that moment. Good thing they had a nice backup plan...

Secondly, Evan Bourne was given a date for his return to live action at the 3/14 tapings, with house show returns happening as close as next weekend. However, that date may have been premature and could be pushed back. So the moral of the story? We still don't know when Bourne comes back. But it's soon. Okay, I'm not much better than the dirt sheet writers here, but hey, I WANT BOURNE TO COME BACK DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT.

Thirdly, and this might be the most hilarious one of them all, the big name WWE wrestlers get tour buses. That's not the funny part. The funny part? For TV events, John Cena tours with Michael Cole on his bus because the two are... best friends. I'm not really finding this funny because of anything vindictive. Really, I'm not. It's just funny, the nerdy windbag heel announcer and the tough guy superman face of the company, chilling together, playing X-Box, watching movies, making s'mores over an open fire... oh man, I don't think I can go any further without self-immolating in goofiness over here.
