John Cena has a severe shoulder injury and is now expected to miss WrestleMania 32 this year due to a torn rotator cuff, as first reported by PWInsider.
It’s not known as of right now when Cena suffered the injury. As WhatCulture.com readers are well aware, Cena was out of action from late October until late December to film a reality show for Fox television. He returned to the ring the weekend of December 26th on the house show circuit. Cena then wrestled on Raw on December 28th, his first televised match for WWE since October, in a losing effort against Alberto Del Rio. That match was his only televised match since returning to the ring.
Rather upside down start to 2016 as tomorrow I will head to Birmingham for shoulder surgery. Life's full of set backs but #nevergiveup

Tyson Kidd has talked to WhatCulture via Twitter about the terrible knee injury that kept him out for much of the last year, also revealing the impressive recovery he has managed to succeed with.
Kidd reveals the injury was “a lot more than torn meniscus. If that was the case I would have been out a month.”
In fact he had suffered what he describes as a “dislocated knee”, but even that description doesn’t do justice to just how severe his knee injury was. Going into further detail, Kidd tells the devastating extent of his problem “It was torn Acl, McL, Lcl, meniscus, muscles in the back of the knee and tibia plateau fracture.”
That excruciating description gives you some idea of the severity of this potentially career ending knee dislocation. It speaks measures of Kidd’s toughness that he managed to come back from this setback.

London, December 11: Jane Austen's "most famous painting" has raked in 164,500 pounds at an auction at Sotheby's.
The James Andrews watercolour painting was commissioned by the Austen's nephew in 1869, the BBC reported.
The portrait is based on the sketch drawn by Austen's sister in 1817 much before the novelist's death.
A version of the portrait is also set to feature on the new 10 pound note from 2017.
Dr Gabriel Heaton of auction house Sotheby's said that the painting has played a crucial role in transforming the 'Pride and Prejudice' author's image from a novelist into a national figure.
It had been earlier estimated that the painting would sell at a price between 150,000 pounds -200,000 pounds..

After being put through a table by Ryback on Monday’s Raw, Cm Punk was carried by officials out of the arena. The WWE Champion was given an emergency consultation with WWE doctor, James Andrews and on Tuesday underwent surgery on his left knee in Pensacola, Florida.
WWE physician, Dr. Chris Amann said ‘Cm Punk underwent knee surgery today (December 4) to remove a piece of torn meniscus that had locked up his knee.’
WWE have confirmed that Dr Andrews successfully trimmed a cartilage tear in Punk’s knee and he is expected to make a full recovery. However, with TLC just twelve days away, Punk’s title defence against Ryback was put into serious doubt.
It was confirmed last night during WWE’s Smackdown taping that Punk will indeed be incapable of competing at the pay-per-view on December 16th. Now unable to challenge Punk for the WWE Championship at TLC,...

There’s a reason Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews is the hottest star to come out of New Orleans in a generation. It’s not because he’s more talented than his peers; as gifted as Andrews is, many musicians in his hometown can play and sing as well as he does. Nor is it because he has such unusual musical sources. He may have toured with Lenny Kravitz and the James Andrews All-Star Brass Band; he may have name-checked James Brown and Louis Armstrong during his Saturday set at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, but such influences aren’t so unusual in...

Trying to write a series about the personal aftermath of Hurricane Katrina the week of the Federal Flood 5 Year Anniversary ensures you'll be as blocked as anyone who tries to get past The Saints' Jon Stinchcomb. But here goes part three for what its worth. By October 2005, Wilco was planning a November benefit in Chicago for the Preservation Resource Center and the New Orleans Musicians Relief Fund. My husband Jeff asked the band if he could fly New Orleans musicians in to open for them, and they were all for it. The musicians were all over the country at the time and that added a wrinkle to booking flights, but in the end we brought Craig Klein, Leroy Jones, James Andrews, George French, Cranston Clements, Joe Krown, Alonzo Bowens and Brian Barberot to O'Hare. The horn players learned...

The actor Fess Parker, who has died aged 85, was a quintessential westerner, a tall, rugged, Texas-born athlete turned actor, famous for his portrayals of two frontiersmen, Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, as well as sheriffs, cowboys and ranchers. He greatly appreciated the commercial success of these two title roles, and himself became a substantial businessman.
The Walt Disney Studio was the first in Hollywood to move wholeheartedly into television, and had the bright idea of combining three episodes of the Davy Crockett series Parker had made for them in 1954 into a feature. The result, Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier (1955), spawned the craze for "racoon-fur" hats and became a box-office hit on the back of its singalong theme - Bill Hayes's recording of The Ballad of Davy Crockett topped the charts for three months,...

Marketing has changed. We're in the age of one-to-one marketing, where the customer actually has a role in shaping the messaging for your brand.

Long gone are the 4Ps of marketing, these are the days of the 4Cs, a customer centric approach that includes the customer's wants and needs; the cost to satisfy the customer; the convenience; and communication.

Over the past year I was introduced to Jane Fonda and have become known as her "tech guy" (a funny term she referred to me as on NBC's Today Show). In truth, I am a part of a trio that included my blogging wife, who gave a 71-year-old Jane Fonda a really great rationale at our first breakfast together as to why she should be using social media and by the end her lightbulb went off. That relationship continues today and I'm proud to say that Jane has not only become one of our agency's first clients when we opened for business but also a great friend and mentor to me and my family.
As the architect of her overall digital strategy, I helped her get her blog JaneFonda.com up, and counsel her on a daily basis on how to engage and grow her following through tools like Twitter,...

A lot has been said about radio 3.0 and TV 3.0, but what does it all mean?
Some like my friend Jeff Pulver are calling this period of convergence Now Media (Old Media + New Media = Now Media). Essentially the fusion of both old media and new media and thus the creation of a new media channel.
What does the experience of watching TV, listening to the radio, and movie-going look like when you add social media and mobile? How will producers, writers, programmers and even the creative community adjust to meet and satiate an appetite that says "I want it now, I want it here, I want it on my terms and I want to be able to tell my friends how good this show/movie/program is?"

One of the most redeeming qualities of the social media landscape revolves around the unique ability microblogging (eg. Twitter, Facebook status updates, Blog comments) offers in the creation of "Thought Viruses." Everyone knows you can't really "create" a "thought virus" however there are people in the social Web who gracefully dance the waltz of maven and connector into what I call "Thought DJ's." These individuals are the uber-talented social media curators who skillfully bring the proper mix of humor, wit, intelligence and interesting "tinyurls" and create an environment of heavily anticipated tweets. Much like an influential music DJ who "breaks" and "discovers" new music today's "Thought DJ" delivers news, information, insights and even concepts to us with a freshness that is reminiscent of the day we used to buy 45's at the local record store. Their ability to be on the cutting edge of information combined with their innovative point...

It seems as though I've been spending a lot of time with my new "friend" Jane Fonda, who is all over the place these days, including her first Broadway show in 46 years, the glum-appearing 33 Variations. Recently, @janefonda Tweeted to me -- me! -- about her new unctuously headlined press release, which was largely about a "social media evangelist" (his wording) named James Andrews. La Fonda has started to follow me. Thankfully, I am told her middle name is Seymour and that she thinks about her Dad a lot, particularly backstage at the new show. Strangely, I've also read these same thoughts in printed interviews with Ms. Fonda. Now I am wondering: Am I being hoodwinked? Jane, is that really you, or is it a Jane facsimile? Here is the issue: Stars cannot just show up online and expect to succeed. It...
