Kurt Angle Talks About Not Returning to WWE Posted by Steve Carrier on 03/10/2011 at 05:03 PM
In an interview with the UK Sun, Kurt Angle says he will never be back in WWE and plans to stay with TNA until he retires. Here are some highlights of what Angle said about:
His Future In Pro Wrestling: "My contract comes up in August/September. I'm going to re-evaluate. But I am NOT going anywhere else. I will stay in TNA, I just need to see how much I'm going to be wresting for them, whether part time or whatever amount of time, but I'm very happy in TNA. A lot of my fans have been asking 'When are you going back to WWE?' but I will retire here."
He added, "I'm very excited about the product, the company keeps growing and I like to think I've been a small part of it. I'm going to stick around and hopefully I'll do something part time when my contract is up. I think Dixie Carter and myself need to sit down and work it out. I'm not against even working every PPV. I just know that I can't continuously go on the road and wrestle hundreds of days a year. I'm not able to any more. Not if I'm to be able to perform the way they want me to."
The Rock Back In WWE: "I think it's great. I honestly believe that Rock misses wrestling. He loves the fans. He comes back partially to promote his movies, but the other part is his passion for the fans. He loves being out there and doing things live."
"He actually performs better when he is out in front of a crowd live. That's The Rock. I heard he cut a promo on Cena and I texted him saying I heard about it, and heard it was great. He's always been the best promo guy I've ever known."
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) (Spanish for Worldwide Wrestling Council) is a Lucha Libre-style professional wrestling promotion based in Mexico City while running cards in Guadalajara, Puebla and elsewhere in central and southern Mexico. The promotion is also referred to by its previous name Empresa Mexicana de la Lucha Libre (EMLL) (Mexican Wrestling Enterprise). It is currently the world's oldest pro wrestling promotion still in existence.
Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) (Spanish for "Assistance, Consulting, and Administration") is a lucha libre professional-wrestling promotion based in Mexico. Founded in 1992 when Antonio Peña broke away from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) to set up a promotion which allowed him more creative freedom, the AAA has held a number of Pay-Per-Views (PPV) over the years and has promoted shows not just in Mexico but in the United States of America and in Japan as well. The promotion utilizes a hexagonal wrestling ring (as opposed to the more conventional four-sided ring) and has a reputation for its outlandish gimmicks and characters as well as having developed a more Extreme match style over the last couple of years. Over the years AAA has worked together with several North American promotions such as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) and currently has a working relationship with Japan-based Pro Wrestling Noah and the US-based Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and Ring of Honor.
- WWE has apparently signed women's wrestler Laura Dennis to a developmental deal. The twenty-five year old goes by the name Cherry Bomb and has competed in Japan and across the US. She is from Toronto and recently started at FCW.

Shelton Benjamin Comments On His WWE Tryout Match Posted by Dave Mitchell on 03/09/2011 at 12:00 PM
As previously reported, former WWE superstar Shelton Benjamin made a surprise appearance prior to Tuesday's SmackDown tapings from Houston, Texas. Benjamin defeated Curt Hawkins in a dark match that got solid reviews from fans in attendence. Benjamin reportedly received a good reaction from his hometown crowd.
Following the match, Benjamin wrote on Twitter:
@Sheltyb803: "just got home from a completely unexpected day. Got to see some friends i haven't seen in awhile. The WWE FANS.
Sheltyb803 "for now all i can say is i may or may not be returning to wwe, but tonight was a good time."
Benjamin was released from WWE last April after a 10-year run with the company that included 3 Intercontinental title reigns, two WWE tag title reigns and a United States title reign.
- The other female student of Lance Storm that WWE has signed to a developmental deal is Irena Janjic. Irena confirmed the signing on Storm's Facebook page yesterday.
Irena is from Bosnia and is also appearing on Lance Storm's World of Hurt reality show that follows his students training at his school.
WWE has recently signed three new women that we know of - Irena, women's wrestler Tenille Tayla and model Brandi Alexis Reed.

The winner of this season will earn a spot on NXT season 6 and not a title shot like previous winners.

You, THE MILLIONS are the BEST. All love and thank you..."
