Explanation for Cornette getting written off:

The ROH locker room was informed during Saturday's promotion in Rahway that Hunter "Delirious" Johnson will take over as the head of Ring of Honor's creative direction effective immediately. Jim Cornette and ROH came to a mutual decision on making the change. Cornette will still remain with the company in a backstage role and assist Johnson as well as working on production and logistics. ROH plans to have Cornette written off ROH storylines with a backstage attack by Jay Lethal. Stories will be ran on ROH's website to explain the changes with Cornette's exit from his authority figure role after the attack.

IGN just revealed that Paul Heyman helped write and guide the 200+ storylines in the Universe mode in WWE '13.

They had my money with the DLC announcement.. this is just icing on the cake.

Other improvements: You don't need to upload CAW's before playing with them online, AI can fill out matches if enough people aren't in your match, and there's a "fair fight" option which only allows people to play with default characters with default movesets.

That is great news to hear. I'm going to wait a bit to get this though. Assassin's Creed 3 is coming out the same day and I want that game more...also, I want to see how the online is. WWE 12's online servers were atrocious.

Wow. They're really kicking it up a notch. Loving the options in Universe (eg Vince slides the chair in, you can attack with it, do nothing or throw it back).

Ryder's Internet Championship belt is confirmed to be in the game at 0:57

LOL "Creative Rabbi"

I'm stoked to see statistics in there. It really is the little things that end up creating a satisfying experience.

EDIT: And it was just confirmed that you can edit in-game titles, even going as far as changing the strap color. You can also use created arenas online. 100% sold.

Damn near freaked out at the end of that trailer when I ALMOST mistook Swagger for Owen. (It will NEVER happen, I know.)

CM Punk's new shirt he'll be debuting tonight:


I dig it. The color is a nice change of pace and it has an old-school vibe to it.

It'll go nicely with the Nexus colored gear he broke out again last week.

That shirt makes me think he is about six months away from wearing jorts and matching wristbands.

Sadly most people would probably think its Jersey Shore related.

Please don't order it online. We don't want to go through that whole thing again.

It's a pretty good design, IMO. The nod to Elvis is...a bit surprising. I did buy one of his ringer shirts and don't think I've worn it once ("why the would I ever wear a wrestling shirt in public?" is what I ask myself), so I'm not going to buy this. But I do like the design.

Didn't we discuss a few weeks back how awful some of the Attitude Era shirts are now, a decade plus later?

I suddenly wanna play a few rounds of UNO.

I'd wear that shirt.

Chat is up.

Even before tonight's RAW went on the air, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has taken major steps to shake up WWE RAW. Brian Gewirtz has been removed as the head writer of RAW after holding that position for over 10 years. He will stay on board as a consultant. Vince McMahon has been on the war path all day. Dave Meltzer reports that "everyone is scared" backstage at RAW and Vince McMahon told WWE's producers today, "I want results or I want resignations."

Should be an interesting night.
