Now that Bellator is owned by Viacom there have been talks of a TNA-Bellator cross promotion in recent weeks. Hereisyourwinner.com has learned through a source close to TNA that Bellator has been in talks with TNA about using wrestlers on their upcoming shows on Spike. Bjorn Rebney, Bellators President is onboard and has visited TNA shows in Florida.
One name that was mentioned is David Cash aka Kid Kash. Kash has competed in MMA before but most of his fights have been either amateur or unsanctioned. According to the source Kash has already begun training at a local MMA gym in Tennessee.
Kash is best known for his runs as a mid-carder in ECW, WWE, and TNA. After making stops in the Indy circuit Kash returned to TNA last Summer. If Kash were to compete for Bellator and do well he could get hot shotted to the main event. In his early 40′s Kash may not have time on his side but he has nothing to lose and everything to gain from an appearance with Bellator.
Bobby Lashley left TNA last year after a falling out over his Strikeforce contract but had he been patient and worked things out with management he could have been main eventing Bellator and TNA at the same time.

WWE officials ultimately decided not to fly Chris Jericho on a private jet to Memphis, Tennesseethe site of Monday's Raw SuperShowbecause they felt the plan they had devised to keep his return from being spoiled was infallible.
WWE decided to have Jericho fly into Nashville International Airport on Sunday instead of Memphis on Sunday or Monday, have a limousine pick him up and hide him until showtime.
"They didn't figure somebody would take a photo of him at an airport 220 miles away," Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer stated on the F4WOnline.com message board.
The photograph was published online Monday morning, which Jericho vehemently refuted.
"Apparently, I've been cloned... or somebody has started a great rumour," he wrote on Twitter.
He then posted several photoshopped images of himself at various places including Egypt, Paris, Gettysburg and Kim Jong-il's funeral.

- The promotional poster for WWE's annual Elimination Chamber has been released and it features Sheamus.
It was reported last week that participants for the Raw Elimination Chamber Match are scheduled to include Alberto Del Rio, CM Punk, John Cena, Kane, R-Truth and The Miz.

Regarding the online rumor of Rob Van Dam returning to WWE, Power Slam confirms in their latest issue that RVD is seriously considering returning to the organization once his contract with TNA Wrestling expires. The magazine adds that the feeling is mutual as people in WWE want the master of the Five-Star Frog Splash back.
"RVD from what we're told would receive a warm welcome in WWE," the magazine says.
Providing that no contract extension has been reached since his arrival to TNA Wrestling in March 2010, it would appear that Van Dam will be a free agent in the near future. It was reported in 2010 that RVD had signed a two-year contract with TNA.
During his hiatus from full-time wrestling, Van Dam said he would consider returning to WWE if and when he felt ready.
"One thing that's for sure is that WWE and I do have a good-faith understanding that if and when I'm ready to return that Ill be talking to them. They look forward and hope that we'll be doing business again," he told the Baltimore Sun during an interview.
Van Dam, who turned 41 years old last month, performed for WWE from 2001 to 2007. Should RVD return to WWE, he would join a select group of former WWE world championsBooker T, Kevin Nash and Mick Foleywho joined TNA and ultimately returned to the Stamford based organization.

WWE Raw SuperShow results: Kane's hateful torment continues By: Kara A. Medalis January 2, 2012 Tags: WWE Raw SuperShow: January 2, 2012, John Cena, Kane
MEMPHIS, Tenn. The first Raw SuperShow of 2012 offered plenty of surprises for the WWE Universe and the WWE Superstars, as Kane continued to torment John Cena with his message of hate, and Chris Jericho lit up Memphis with an unexpected return.
John Cena, Big Show & United States Champion Zack Ryder def. Mark Henry & Jack Swagger (WATCH | PHOTOS) Ditched by their tag team partner, Kane, Mark Henry & Jack Swagger were forced to fight John Cena, Big Show & United States Champion Zack Ryder in the Six-Man Elimination Match. Big Show and Mark Henry were first eliminated by a double count-out in the Handicap Match. With the numbers working against him, Swagger put the ankle lock on Ryder, but Cena tagged in and hit The All-American American with the Attitude Adjustment for the victory.
After the match, Kane surprisingly emerged up through the ring to attack Ryder, then tried to suffocate Cena. The Big Red Monster nearly pulled the United States Champion down through the hole in the ring, but failed when Cena pulled his friend out of the abyss. Before Cena could get his hands on Kane, a monstrous burst of fire erupted from the hole in the ring, allowing The Big Red Machine to escape.
Chris Jericho returned (WATCH | PHOTOS) After weeks of cryptic 1-2-12 videos on Raw SuperShow, Chris Jericho made a shocking return and was warmly welcomed by the WWE Universe, greeting some with high-fives at ringside. As he urged them for more cheers, "#Y2J" instantly became the No. 1 worldwide trend on Twitter. But as the Superstar who was dressed in a dazzling, light-up, blinged out jacket prolonged his homecoming, the WWE Universes chants of welcome back soon turned to boos. A smiling Jericho exited without addressing the Memphis crowd, leaving the irritated WWE Universe wondering why hes back. (MORE: Jericho's return | PHOTOS: Jericho's most outrageous looks)

Dolph Ziggler def. WWE Champion CM Punk by Count-Out (WATCH | PHOTOS) CM Punk lost his bout against No. 1 contender Dolph Ziggler, but retained the WWE Championship when the match ended in a count-out thanks to a distraction by Interim Raw GM John Laurinaitis. The EVP of Talent Relations ran down to the ring to advise the WWE official about the exposed turnbuckle. Meanwhile, The Straight Edge Savior nearly hit his opponent with the GTS, then locked him in the Anaconda Vise, but the official never saw Ziggler tap because he was talking to Laurinaitis. Punk ended up outside the ring, thanks to Laurinaitis, who pulled down the ropes, allowing him to slide out. Punk couldnt get back onto the mat before the 10-count, giving his opponent the victory. While the cocky Ziggler didnt win the title, he left proudly holding Punks WWE Championship knowing hes defeated him for two straight weeks. (Preview: Punk vs. Ziggler at Royal Rumble)
Sheamus vs. The Miz ended in a No Contest; R-Truth went on the attack (WATCH | PHOTOS) Unable to keep his temper under control, Sheamus unloaded on The Miz, and their match which never began ended in a No Contest. As a paranoid Miz tried to escape through the crowd, his former tag team partner, R-Truth, appeared with Little Jimmy. The Awesome One ran back toward the ring, where he was met by Sheamus big boot. Left down, The Miz was vulnerable to another assault by the retribution-seeking R-Truth, who hit his friend-turned-traitor with a water bottle just as he did the previous week.
Wade Barrett def. Santino Marella (WATCH | PHOTOS) After throwing Randy Orton down a flight of stairs in a vicious Falls Count Anywhere Match on SmackDown, Wade Barrett continued his path of destruction, this time targeting Santino Marella.

The leader of the Cenation said hell continue to enjoy whatever response he gets from the WWE Universe, and thanked them, despite Kanes recent actions.

Chris Jericho Responds To Raw Speculation Posted by Steve Carrier on 01/02/2012 at 12:26 PM
Chris Jericho is poking fun at a photograph taken of him at Nashville International Airport yesterday, which is near the site of tonight's Raw SuperShow.
"Apparently, I've been cloned...or somebody has started a great rumour," Jericho wrote on Twitter.
He then posted several photoshopped images of him at various places including Egypt, Paris, Gettysburg and Kim Jong-il's funeral.
A photo of Chris Jericho arriving at the Nashville International Airport in Nashville, Tennessee yesterday has leaked online. This airport is just a few hundred miles from Memphis, Tennessee - the sight of tonight's WWE RAW Supershow.
Speculation has been that Jericho is the man behind WWE's January 2nd, 2012 cryptic videos that have been airing.
According to The Wrestling Observer, TNA talents who have been working with Mexicos AAA promotion have all received high marks for their attitudes. AAA is especially high on Magnus because he always comes in with a good attitude and the women in Mexico like him. AAA officials were also high on Rob Terry because he has a look that nobody else in Mexico has. AAA is looking to bring Jeff Jarrett back in March for the Rey de Reyes event to defend the AAA Title against Mesias. They wanted to bring Karen Jarrett back with Jeff but were told she cant because of foot surgery. AAA wanted Karen back with Jeff because they are strong together and Karen gets good heat in Mexico.
