In August, WWE creative writer Kevin Eck was among several employees let go by the sports-entertainment organization as part of their initiative to cut costs in all departments. Now that he's no longer employed by the company, Eck revealed a secret he had been holding.

"Now it can be told: I used to have someone in Vince's office steal some of his Speed Shot drinks (or as he called them, "purple gimmicks") for me before I worked out," Eck wrote on Facebook.

Eck is talking about the grape-flavored ABB Performance Speed Shot, an energy drink. His comment was in response to former WWE Superstar Stevie Richards remarking under his status update, "As Vince McMahon once said to Dreamer and me: "I know your two motherf--kers are stealing my protein bars!!!!"

To add to McMahon's food-related quirks, MetsFan4Ever, a former WWE backstage worker who has broken WWE news and produced multiple shows scripts, recently shared a story on Reddit.com about the Chairman's love for Snow cones.

"A few years ago the company had a Snow Cone party. Kind of weird, I know. This was in the back lot of the TV Studio (not the actual large Headquarter building everyone always sees). Well apparently Vince is a huge Snow Cone fanatic. So much so, that he had a lot of them. Like 10. At one point he got up and announced in front of everyone in his Mr. McMahon "You're Fired" voice that he LOVES SNOW CONES. It was awkward and I had to fight to hold back my laughter.

According to an Oct. 27 report from Wrestling Inc, CM Punk is back in the good graces of the WWE, as the promotion has reached a deal with him and his legal team to sell merchandise bearing his name and likeness. The WWE has not released financial figures on the historic new agreement with Punk, and it should also be noted that Punk has not signed any kind of new performer contract to return to the ring.

The idea is for him to come in, give the NXT talents pointers and really drive the "WWE etiquette" into the developmental talents. The idea is that Taker works with WWE's up & coming talents so they know what is expected of them when they reach the main roster.

Angle is in Hollywood this week to have meetings about expanding his acting career and auditions.
So yeah Dixie's big surprise ended up being Angle going back to TNA. Only reason it dragged out was because it took a while for the WWE talks to end.

WrestlingDVDNews.com reports that over 100 WWE DVD and Blu-ray titles, including WrestleMania 30 and the recent Paul Heyman set, were pulled from Amazon this past weekend. The titles were then replaced with pre-order listings for January 1st, 2015. This means new orders on those sets will not be shipping out until the new year. There's been talk this summer about WWE partnering with a new Home Video distributor and this could be the reason for the titles being replaced. The deal with the new distributor doesn't go into effect until January 2015 and WWE is likely having some of the bigger titles re-printed in time for that new deal to begin. This also may explain why more than 70 WWE DVD titles have been taken out-of-print in the past 2 months.
Figured that one would be really interested to those who buys WWE stuff from Amazon.


Some other sheet news include tomorrow being when the next Network numbers get revealed and possibly more talent releases soon. Also conflicting reports about TNA in the final stage or not for a new tv deal.
