WWE's Budget Cutting Continues with Adam Rose's Rosebuds

According to The Wrestling Observer, WWE is no longer flying in NXT talent to play Adam Rose's Rosebuds on TV. NXT talent will only be used on Raw or Smackdown if they are within driving distance from Orlando, and can travel to the arenas themselves.

WWE is now using local indy talent to play the Rosebuds, and the talent used at last week's TV tapings in Green Bay and Minneapolis were Dysfunction, Justin Dredd, Chase McCoy, Joey Avalon and Melanie Cruise.

As we exclusively reported earlier today, WWE has also cut the tour busses used for its TV crew, in an effort to continue trimming the budget.

Bad News Barrett Breaks Down the World Cup (Video)

WWE has released the following video, featuring Bad News Barrett and other WWE star breaking down the World Cup:

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
