Goldust on Teaching the NXT Stars, WWE Stars Get a Few Days Off, New Vince Russo Project, The Fink

By DailyWrestlingNews.com on April 2, 2015

– Vince Russo is now in the Fantasy Baseball business. He has a new “Who’s On First: Fantasy Baseball” podcast at this link. His first guest is Pat Kenney, formerly known as Simon Diamond. Russo and Diamond compete in a league called Vinnie Roo’s All-Stars, which also includes Tommy Dreamer and Matt Striker.

– Some of the WWE talents are taking a few days for vacation this weekend as there are no live events scheduled. The main roster has off until Monday’s RAW in Austin and Tuesday’s tapings in Dallas. After that, they will head out to Europe on Wednesday for the post-WrestleMania tour. There are NXT live events tonight, Friday and Saturday in Tampa, Palatka and Orlando.

– As noted, WWE Hall of Famer Howard Finkel celebrated 35 years with the company on Wednesday. Joey Styles revealed on Twitter that the WWE Digital Media and Social Media teams had a celebration for The Fink at WWE headquarters in Stamford.

– There were reports a few months back that Goldust would be transitioning from an active WWE competitor to an agent role or possibly a trainer at NXT. Goldust denied those rumors but now it looks like he could be preparing for that transition or perhaps he’s just making a general comment about working with NXT talents in the future. He wrote the following on Wednesday:

Bones be sore. Body tired.

I can't wait for the opportunity to teach the talented kids at @WWENXT some of my psychology and story telling. #Intensity #Sell @WWE
