And while <em>Headline Planet<\/em> cannot directly speak to the quality of MediaTakeout&#8217;s sources, it can quote a WWE veteran in calling the rumors untrue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I even saw on the &#8216;net that it was alleged that WWE had offered Kanye &#8220;$10M&#8221; to step in the ring and wrestle which is so outlandish and ridiculous that it&#8217;s insane,&#8221; wrote WWE announcer Jim Ross on his blog.<\/p>\n<p>The MediaTakeout story alleged that, in the wake of Kanye West&#8217;s much-publicized incident with Taylor Swift at the Video Music Awards, WWE offered the rapper $10 million to appear on two television episodes and one pay-per-view.  Though it said West was seriously mulling the offer, all indications are that West will not be stepping into a WWE ring in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/default.aspx?term=\\kanye west&#038;iid=6512196\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/e\/a\/9\/2\/Celebrities_arrive_for_8941.JPG?adImageId=3262239&#038;imageId=6512196\" width=\"320\" height=\"522\"  border=\"0\" alt=\"Celebrities arrive for the MTV Video Music Awards in New York\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.pis.picapp.com\/IamProd\/PicAppPIS\/JavaScript\/PisV4.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kanye West-WWE Rumors Are &quot;Insane,&quot;
