- Dustin Rhodes isn't fond of Saraya's pizza habbits.

- Chris Van Vliet recently spoke with Shelton Benjamin, who spoke about his mama Benjamin angle from 2006.

"I had a meeting with Vince and I was just like, okay right now I'm not doing anything, I want to contribute. And I had an idea and like first, and I don't know where he came up with the momma thing. So when he first approached me about it, he basically said, How would you feel about having your real momma on the road? And I said, Absolutely not. There's no way I'm going to expose my mother to this locker room. Because as nice as a guy I am. I love everybody on the roster. But if one person were to say something frost to my real mom, I would have had a really short career. So yeah, and so we, like I said when he said it I was just kind of like huh, because the only reference I had to that was Buff Bagwell and his mom. I guess Jim Cornette used to always reference his mom way back in the day, but I don't remember her ever making a television appearance, but I definitely remember the Buff stuff. So when things started with that, and I've said this before, I feel like that whole storyline gets a bad rap. Because my mom, Thea Vidale, who's you know, she's a comedian. And you know, she's been on TV shows like I said, Me and Brandy have a mother in common. Me and the singer Brandy have a mother [in common]. When they brought her in they narrowed it down to just her and one other woman. And, yeah, it was like soon as she walked in, I knew exactly who she was. [Were you at the casting?] Yes, it was me one of our producers and Vince. Ultimately they left it down to me and but everyone agreed Thea like she blew it out of the water and the day she did that audition in front of us was the day she made her debut on television, we made a decision that day. And she was a lot of fun to work with on camera because she is obviously way more animated than me. But you know, it was easy to slip into that whole momma's boy role because like she had a very domineering personality, to say the least. And I was having a lot of fun with it. Like some of the skits, particularly when you know I walked in with her and you know and Mr. McMahon with his pants down, I was having so much fun with that. But unfortunately, she had some medical problems and you know some other things that you know, I guess management wasn't happy with. Basically, she got let go before the story could be completed, you know, that's kind of a buzzword these days. Yeah, we didn't finish the story because, as I said, I was supposed to be a momma's boy, you know, and it's successful, but at some point, I had to grow up and stand on my own without my mom."
