Rey Mysterio Contract Controversy, Kizarny To TNA? Australia Gets CCW
- The contract negotiations between WWE and Rey Mysterio over pay issues has not been nipped in the bud, and Dave Metlzer is reporting that Mysterio is intending to leave the WWE if management don’t start opening up to his suggestions.
A lot of wrestlers get percentages of their merchandise sales and other revenues, but because most revenues are down, their pay is also down, Rey being one of them.
Last summer when his contract came up for renewal it took considerable time for both parties to work out a deal, with Mysterio settling on a low paying deal. The feeling at the time was that Mysterio was just back from injury and his physical future looked doubtful, thus WWE didn’t want to make a big investment. However Mysterio has since proved that he can still put on solid PPV matches and is looking for more money.
Mysterio is a big merchandise seller and the main draw for Hispanic audiences. Losing Mysterio due to stubbornness won’t benefit WWE or Rey.
Rey’s current contract is signed for another 3-4 years, which could prove frustrating if he isn’t happy with the deal.
- Several sources claim that former WWE wrestler Kizarny will be meeting with TNA management about returning to the company. He worked as Sinn in 2003-2004 and had another brief run in 2005.
Working as Kizarny he barely debuted before getting his marching orders from WWE.
- The first and only season of Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling debuts in Australia at 6:30 pm on Fox8 on 7/25.
It’s good for laughs, but the show is more worked than the actual wrestling action.

I wish TNA wouldn’t take every wrestler who comes out of WWE, as it makes them seem like a second show.
god i feel for Australia getting a hogan show god
tna getting yet another ex wwe star any 1 else think we been down this road b4 wcw but unlike wcw tna wont be a problem to wwe
Y CUZ TNA SUCKS and untill they push there OWN stars they will be 4 ever be SHITE
As an Australian, I’m for one NOT very amped for CCW, but I will give it a watch anyway just like I did with Hogan knows Best.
Leave Kizarny/Sinn in the Indy’s please. As the guy above me said, TNA don’t need to have EVERY Ex-WWE Wrestler, he was shit as Sinn and he was shit as Kizarny. Just let him drift off into wrestling purgatory. Kennedy, Kennedy is another story how bout spending some time and money into getting him.
Kizarny is NOT a former WWE star, he had like three matches. It was a stupid gimmick that didn’t make sense. He is an actual indie worker. I’ve seen him as Sinn, he’s screamed to kids “I will steal your soul” it made me smile. Just because a guy gets screwed over by WWE creative, he can’t work anymore WTF?
Sure TNA takes overlooked WWE talent, so what! So what if it makes it look like a second show. It IS a second show. It’s also a BETTER show.
So let me get this straight, anyone fired from WWE should banned from TV forever. Is that what your saying Mr Pritchard. Please tell me because I’m curious why you would say something so stupid.
Also to you Mr Rice. You don’t really have a grip on this do you? TNA dosent want to be a “problem” to the WWE. It is a good company that gives TV time to good, indie workers. It’s not like they put impact against Raw. It gives an outlet to stars like Sting and Angle who don’t want to be out there five days a week away from there family. Vince could easily destroy TNA, but why?
Im not stating this as fact. I’m just a fan like all of you, I have no inside connections. I just want you dumb asses to see that TNA and WWE are like Pepsi and Coke. The same fucking thing!
As you would say Keelan. No left or right, one world order!
In this case I think it’s fine. Kizarny has spent more time in TNA than WWE and their developmental.
