Undertaker's Health Posted by Steve Carrier on 03/11/2011 at 08:06 PM
- The Undertaker is still rehabilitating his torn rotator cuff after it was surgically repaired late last year. He's been working aggressively to rehab the injury in hopes that he won't be severely limited for his match against Triple H at WrestleMania XXVII. The damage from his latest injury was bad enough that it is expected to confine his mobility in the long-term.
While there has been much speculation that his in-ring career is coming to an end, multiple WWE sources believe that he could at least appear at WrestleMania events for years to come as long as he keeps himself in shape, is able to perform his signature maneuvers, and can work around his physical limitations.
- Stan sent word that there was 21 minutes and 18 seconds of in-ring action on this week's iMPACT, up from 19 minutes and 4 seconds on last week's show.
As noted earlier here on the website, TNA iMPACT! earned a 1.3 cable rating a .94 (0.9) M18-49, a .76 (0. in M18-34, and an average audience of 1.7 million viewers (1,738,000). This is slightly down from last week's 1.36 (1.4) cable rating, with 1.8 million viewers. Competitive Ranking -Among Basic Cable Networks between 9p-11p, TNA ranked #3 among M18-49, behind TNT (NBA) and MTV (Jersey Shore().

Sting states that Jeff is one of the greatest wrestlers he has ever fought in the ring. He tells Jeff that when he gets his head attached again, as it's been who knows where, he would give back to these fans. Immortal's music hits and here they come!
Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan come out on the stage and they clap. Hogan begins to talk as both get in the ring. He says he is glad to see Sting again. Hogan said that somehow they were going to end up in the same ring again. Hogan then states that Sting knew who "they" was all along, but no one listened to him, so he took his ball and went home. Hogan says the fans don't need another hero as they already got one and that is Hulk Hogan! Sting said he did quit, he did went home, but he didn't quit on the fans.

Hogan steps in and says he is the one who runs this business. He announes that Victory Road will have Jeff Hardy vs. Sting for the TNA World Title. Eric says he has an idea.

AJ Styles on Working with Flair, Fortune's Split Posted by Steve Carrier on 03/11/2011 at 01:18 PM
- Alex Marvez of Scripps News recently spoke to TNA's AJ Styles. Here are some highlights:
Fortune splitting from Immortal: "I knew we eventually would have to go there anyway. Fans wanted to see Fortune turn on Immortal. They never wanted to see Fortune be a part of Immortal in the first place. When we teased going against them, it created a big rumble. I think it's a blessing in disguise that those guys took jobs with WWE. We're moving forward here with something I hoped that would be done."
Being put with Ric Flair last year: "It didn't fit my personality at all. Ric casts a big shadow. I think I've learned more about how to get out of that shadow when I was up against him rather than with him. When you're with Ric, he's going to get your attention. I definitely learned some stuff like the way to cut an (interview) and stuff like that. I respect him. Even though he's 62, he's still one of the most entertaining guys in pro wrestling."
When asked if "the torch" has been passed with the Fortune push: "I don't know. The whole thing with Sting and I, the torch was supposedly passed, but here he is back again (as TNA world champion). I don't know if there is a torch to be passed anymore because so many people change their mind about whether they're staying or going or retiring. The biggest thing is, I want to be part of something that everybody knows about whether it's Fortune or TNA, something that's as big as WWE. I'm not saying I want to go to WWE or anything like that. I want TNA to explode."
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."
