Latest WWE News: Seth Green, 12 Rounds, Billy Graham...


Seth Green's appearance on WWE Raw this past week has drawn some decent reviews and attention. Coverage here at MTV Movies Blog and also at Miami Herald about Seth's celebrity hosting gig. Seth even posted his own blog about guest hosting over at WWE Universe. Read it here.

Next week's hosts in Raleigh, NC will be rock band ZZ Top. No word yet on whether they will book another Divas Summer Swimsuit Spectacular or put themselves in a tag match against Legacy. Read more about the band here: ZZ Top to Host 07/20/09 Raw

Last night's ECW featured Christian, Shelton Benjamin, Vladimir Kozlov, and ECW champion Tommy Dreamer in action. There was no Abraham Washington and it will return next Tuesday with Dreamer and Christian as his guests. See the ECW Recap for 07.14.09 here.

WWE Hall of Fame Superstar Billy Graham (Wayne Coleman) had some not-so-kind words for his former employer recently. Due to the fact Graham was released from a consulting contract with WWE, and that he said Vince McMahon told him the WWE Hall of Fame will only ever exist in his head, Graham had enough. Graham recently put his WWE Hall of Fame ring he received in 2004 up for auction on Ebay due to the claim there won't be a WWE HOF. The ring is currently bringing in a bid of over $8,000. See more on this story at The Sun UK's article.

Also according to the Sun UK website, John Cena's 12 Rounds DVD has sold a bit over 200,000 units, grossing $3.1 million for the week ending July 5th, 2009. The movie took in 15 million at the box office. Combined with the DVD sales it's a big loss for WWE Studios which spent $23 million to make the action film.
