10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week

The world or professional wrestling is ever-evolving. There's been a lot of talk recently from industry legends like Jim Ross that WWE currently don't really know which direction to take things. Feeling the company are torn between the older methods of Vince McMahon and the newer ones of Triple H, Ross claims there's a conflicting atmosphere within the promotion.

Also stating that WWE don't really encourage wrestlers to be traditional heels anymore, the Hall Of Fame announcer has nothing to gain nor lose by making such comments. It's likely that Jim Ross is still friendly with McMahon and others within the WWE system, but he's not an employee any longer. Therefore, the man can pretty much call things as he sees them.

There's more from Ross in this week's article, but the interesting factoid to come out of interviews with him isn't alone by any stretch of the imagination. Contained here are 10 pro wrestling facts that many fans didn't know last week, but have come out in the wash over the past 7 days.

For example, which current WWE star is the latest to lose 100 televised matches? Find out why one wrestling legend didn't think the 'Nature Boy' was World Champion material before working with him. Which former WWF/WWE star was banned from turning heel by Vince McMahon? All that and more is featured here.

There's a reason John Cena is on top of the pro wrestling landscape. It's certainly no accident, the man works harder than almost anybody involved in WWE, and has pretty much dedicated his life to the organisation, whether inside the ring or not. Even so, it's fascinating to imagine that Cena has time to watch the rest of the show.

Incredibly, he does. Even when preparing for his own appearances on episodes of Monday Night Raw or on Pay-Per-View, Cena keeps an eye on all the other matches. This is something the likes of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and Bret 'Hitman' Hart also claimed to do. In short, it's all about watching what else is going on and seeing who they may be able to work with.

According to John Cena, this is pretty much routine for him. The man's schedule is already incredibly hectic, so it's mind-blowing to think he pays attention to every match, promo and angle taking place. However, that's why he's on top, that dedication to the WWE product.
