According to PWInsider.com, the next Legend’s statue set to be unveiled by WWE at WrestleMania 32 was supposed to be Hulk Hogan. The Hogan statue would have joined the likes of Andre the Giant and Ultimate Warrior at WWE Headquarter, but those plans have been scrapped in light of Hogan’s recent controversy.

Ric Flair noted on the latest installment of his WOOOOOO! Nation podcast that prior to WCW closing down, Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan struck a deal with the company that allowed the two to collect 50% of sales of any nWo merchandise, and that same deal carried over to WWE. Flair would go on to mention that after Hulk Hogan's racial comments surfaced online, WWE decided to pull all nWo related merchandise off shelves and WWEShop.com. Once the word got out, Nash went crazy because he owned 35% of sales (Hall owned a percentage but Nash bought out his share). Nash apparently then flew up to Stamford and an agreement was put in place to put the nWo merchandise back in stock.

Paige answered some questions during a Wizard World Comic Con San Jose Q&A over Labor Day weekend. Check out some highlights: * On whether Nikki Bella’s Divas Title record was shot at AJ Lee: “Oh, I don’t think so. Don’t get me involved in this! I don’t need that heat, brother. I don’t know. I have no idea. I don’t get involved in that crap. * On whether she was naked under her towel on Raw when the Bella Twins stole her clothes: That was legit live, guys. I had to run through the hallways in just a towel. I never thought I would be on RAW in just a towel, it had to go live, so Vince was like, ‘if she drops the towel everyone on the set is fired’ and I was like, ‘oh, it’s so much pressure.

WWE Studios is moving forward with another animated movie that would see WWE characters interact with The Jetsons. We noted earlier this year that Warner Bros. was working on a script for the straight-to-DVD release. This comes after successful animated movie with Scooby Doo and The Flintstones. A second Scooby – WWE movie is currently being produced as well as a series of short films that will feature WWE characters in the ring with various Hanna-Barbera characters.

Konnan and former WWE creative writer Court Bauer revealed on MLW Radio on Wednesday that WWE officials are interested in bringing back Carlito, who was fired five years ago. Wrestling Observer Newsletter editor Dave Meltzer reported in February that Triple H was lobbying for a top Hispanic star in WWE since he feels the company is in need of one. There are currently five male Hispanic wrestlers on the main roster (The Lucha Dragons, Los Matadores and El Torito) and amazingly, none training at the WWE Performance Center. Ideally, WWE wants someone with “the look,” can work well in the ring, is bilingual and at least 6 feet tall. The former United States Champion and Intercontinental Champion, who is now 36-years-old, pretty much fits the bill. Carlito is around 5 foot 10, but was never portrayed as a “small” wrestler. WWE released Carlito on May 21, 2010, “due to his first violation of the WWE Wellness Program and his subsequent refusal to attend a rehabilitation facility,” per the company’s official website. In a subsequent interview, Carlito revealed that he wanted to leave the company for a long time ... Since his departure from the company, Carlito had been competing in Puerto Rico, where his father holds World Wrestling Council (WWC) events. With none of the current wrestlers being presented as top stars, Alberto Del Rio on the outs with WWE following a bitter departure last year, Vince McMahon cold on bringing back a 40-year-old Rey Mysterio, and no one training at the WWE Performance Center, Carlito looks to be the company’s best option for a top Hispanic star
