Cena's Advice To Snooki

-- John Cena recalled his first appearance at WrestleMania, which took place in in 2004, to MTV.com.

He squared off against Big Show for the United States Championship, but before his music hit and he walked through the curtain into the arena, he felt distracted.

"I was worried my car was going to get towed," Cena said. "I was not allowed TK. It was cool because it was a moment of stardom wedged between reality. I truly love moments like that."

He also offered Snooki advice for her match on Sunday. "I told her it's just like an afternoon at the shore," he said. "You're supposed to go out and have a good time, and if trouble starts, just keep swinging until the cops come."

Trish Stratus Speaks Out - WrestleMania, Tough Enough

Trish Stratus recently did an interview with John Pollock of The Fight Network about her return, WWE Tough Enough and WrestleMania 27. Here are some highlights:

On the six-person tag match at WrestleMania 27: "I think in this case, it will be about the story. Vickie Guerrero and I have a little heat going on right now and me and Lay-Cool, so we'll play that up. Then, the boys, Dolph and Morrison, I'm sure will have a great showing. And maybe Morrison and I might pull out some cool twisty, turny moves."

On the new season of Tough Enough: "Although it's going to have bits from the old show, it's a new show with a different feel to it. The approach is a little different. Some of the contestants have wrestling background and the show has a different production feel to it. USA Network is really embracing it."

Report: Jeff Hardy To Enter Rehab - Major TNA Storyline?

Former TNA Wrestling production manager Randy Ricci says that according to reliable sources within the Nashville based organization, current creative plans call for Jeff Hardy's real-life issues to take center stage on television.

Ricci reports on his blog (nawf.com/blog) that Hardy plans on undergoing treatment for his issues with substance abuse and will enter a rehabilitation facility. Upon his completion of rehab, he will be brought back to television as a babyface recovering from drug addiction.

Hardy was officially written off television on last night's episode of TNA iMPACT! as Immortal announced they had severed their ties with him.

On March 13 at Victory Road, Hardy received a rematch against Sting for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship under No Disqualification rules, but was defeated in ninety seconds. Behind the scenes, company officials had made the decision to cut the bout short after deeming that Hardy was in no condition to wrestle. The following day it was reported that TNA Wrestling had sent Hardy home from the week's iMPACT! tapings. He has not appeared for the organization since.

Please note that this is NOT confirmed by any means and should be taken as strictly a RUMOR for now. I can't stress that enough. This is nothing more than a RUMOR for now!

Sting: I Rejected Undertaker-WrestleMania 27 Offer

Sting revealed in an interview with the Daily Star that World Wrestling Entertainment officials approached and offered him a match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVII, as well as induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

He declined their offer.

"I wouldn't say it was utter nonsense, that's not true!" laughs Sting. "It's a dream match that fans would want to see. It was close. I'm glad things turned out the way they did.

“There are so many variables. Let's just say that I turned it down for the same reasons I always have. Something in me never trusted what would happen up there, based entirely on the track record with other WCW guys and everything that went on after Vince bought WCW.

"I wont be watching but I'll be asking what happened between Undertaker and Triple H."

Brock Lesnar adds that WWE had not approached him at all regarding an appearance at WrestleMania.

"They were smart enough to know that I am deeply involved in UFC, what I am doing now.

"Wrestling doesn't affect my life so much. I'm a fighter. The WWE will go on, and it will always be there, but I am in the UFC for as far as I can see. If ever there was an opportunity in the future to be on Wrestlemania, then I guess I have to say: 'Never say never.'"

Sarita Recalls Leaving Home To Become A Top Wrestler

Years ago, TNA Knockout Sarita left her home in Canada to become a "professional" wrestler in Mexico, where she is known as Dark Angel, as well as an icon of discipline. She discussed her life-changing move during an interview with Milenio Online.

Sarita, who's real name is Sarah Stock, began wrestling training in December 2001 in her hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba. After working for various independent promotions, she moved to Monterrey, Mexico in 2003 in an effort to improve her ability. She packed her suitcase and made the move with little concern for her well-being as she was determined to become an elite performer.

(Note - rough Spanish to English translation)

"So I came in a truck from Winnipeg to New Laredo, and from there to Monterrey," Stock recalls. "I saw a great adventure and something that I needed to do, but to leave my family, to learn a new culture, the language, the struggle to learn Spanish, but the hardest part was being away from home and how to behave in a different culture to mine.

"I did not bring much money when I arrived to Monterrey. A person who makes my equipment rented several rooms in a building, which is where I stayed. It was something very different for me, as my old house had heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer, it was a comfortable house. I came to live in a room made of stone, with the bath and shower outside on the patio, and full of cockroaches, lizards, mice, all of that. I had to get used to it, it was hard. Those changes were far from easy and to live like this was a shock to me."

In spite of the difficulties, it never passed through her mind to return home, nor was she fearful.

"My parents taught me that regardless if you want to do something there is always a way to do this, I am a woman of challenges and make plans to achieve them," she said "Nor was I afraid. I do not know if it was youth or the excitement of a new adventure. I thought it was an opportunity to achieve my dream and I was only afraid of my greatest desire and my passion. I just thought about it and not the dangers of what could happen to me."

At the suggestion of a promoter, Stock began competing while wearing a mask; she also took on a new ring name, Dark Angel. She initially found it difficult to work with the wrestlers in Mexico, as she did not speak Spanish and could not communicate with them throughout the match. On October 17, 2003 she defeated Simply Luscious to win the Lucha Libre Femenil Juvenil Championship. Months later, Stock lost her mask in a forty-five minute mask vs. mask match against Princesa Sujei. Shortly thereafter, she decided to leave Monterrey to move to Mexico City and wrestle for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración. Although Stock began appearing with AAA under the assumption that she would be wrestling, the company had her start out as a ring girl. Stock did not wrestle regularly for AAA, and she stopped appearing for the promotion after a few shows.

Stock signed with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre in 2004, AAA's rival promotion. She began competing regularly for CMLL as Dark Angel in the promotion's newly-rebuilt women's division, while also competing for various independent promotions in North America and Europe. Sarah was rewarded for her dedication as on July 1, 2005, she debuted at Arena México, "the cathedral of lucha libre."

She recalls, "I was nervous before going out, but people responded very well and I felt very excited when fans recognized me, this fight is a memory and an unforgettable feeling."

Stock has achieved numerous accolades since then and is considered the face of women's wrestling in Mexico. Her notoriety in the country led her to TNA Wrestling in 2009, where she reigns as one half of the TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions. She sends a message to the dreamers out there.

"You have to take life and seize it," she says. "Someone will want you to feel less, but if you want to do something, that will start without asking permission. Do not be afraid. It is never too late to follow your dreams."
