Mr. Anderson, who is currently not under contract to TNA Wrestling, stated in an interview with 4th & Pain (Adam Carriker of the Washington Redskins and former wrestling announcer Chuck Carroll) that he expects to sign a new contract with Impact Wrestling "within a week."
He said his agent and lawyer are currently working on finishing up a deal with the company and that he enjoyed the way he was being used creatively before his contract expired.
According to Anderson, not being affiliated TNA Wrestling hasn't really crossed his mind. He's also open to taking independent dates.
Also in the interview, Carriker cuts a promo in Anderson's style to pay off a wager from the Washington Redskins Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers. It was a little choppy at points, but Anderson says the man with the largest arms on the defensive line has a future in the ring if he wants one.
Anderson, a huge NFL fan, also chatted pigskin with the guys for a while before talking about his impending twins and whether to "smarten them up" about Santa Claus from the get go.
Washington Redskins defensive end Adam Carriker teams with radio veteran Chuck Carroll to host 4th & Pain -- the only football and pro wrestling show hosted by a NFL player and a former wrestling announcer turned weight loss champion. The show is heard weekends on 106.7 The FAN in Washington, D.C. as well as online each weekday at 4thAndPain.com. 4th & Pain interviews Goldberg, Ryback, Jeff Hardy, Titus O'Neil, Miz, Kofi Kingston and more can be found at here. 4th & Pain is also on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.

WWE Reports Two Injuries at Tonight's Raw Posted by Steve Carrier on 09/24/2013 at 12:21 AM
WWE has reported that both CM Punk and The Miz were injured at tonight's Raw event. Here is an excerpt from their article.
"Despite being injured before suffering the KO Punch that left him unconscious, it was surprisingly Miz who fared the better of the two wounded warriors, as WWE medical official Dr. Chris Amann basically gave The Awesome One what amounted to a clean bill of health.
We did evaluate [Miz] in the training room and everything appeared to look OK, said Amann. He had some bruising around the jawbone; I expect him to be pretty sore, but it doesnt appear as though theres any major damage.
As for Punk, however, Amann tells a much more uncertain tale.
"Punk, as you saw, went through a table and landed on the concrete. He suffered multiple bruises and scrapes on his back, said Amann. We advised him to get additional treatment, including some X-rays, but he refused, so were going to follow up with him tomorrow, see how he feels and re-evaluate him then.
Whether the grisly trip through the table will lead to more tests for the former WWE Champion remains to be seen. Its certainly possible, said Amann. Based on how hes feeling and what his symptoms are will determine whether we do any additional testing or not."

Matt Morgan on Fans Being Upset Over TNA Departure
Matt Morgan discussed with Scott Fishman of The Miami Herald on why fans shouldn't be upset with his departure from TNA Wrestling.
"People get mad and upset all the time with TNA by saying, 'How could you let Matt Morgan leave TNA,'" Morgan said. "Well, because this is what they could have done. If TNA wanted to, they could have made me sit at home all the way until when my contract expired, which would have been next July. That would have been another year, miss a year in my prime doing nothing. A lot of companies have done that in the past. That's a business decision, and nobody can be mad at a company for doing it.
"They could have easily done that in keeping a 7-foot, 300-pound giant on their roster that they don't have. They didn't. My hats off to them for letting me move on with no strings attached and being able to put my family in a better situation."
You can check out the complete interview at this link.
Nick Dinsmore aka WWE's Eugene was just re-hired by WWE today as a trainer for their developmental territory NXT. Dinsmore worked with OVW since 2008 and previously before that in OVW's early days before signing on with the WWE. Nick was the trainer for OVW's beginner's program.
PWinsider is reporting that at last nights TNA house show an unruly fan in Tucson, Arizona actually tried to attack TNA star Frankie Kazarian as he and Christopher Daniels were leaving the ring.
The fan threw a beer at Kazarian and attempted to go after him, but was quickly subdued by the fine folks at Ronnie Lang's Atlas Security and removed from the venue.
Jame Storm, perhaps realizing the incident was going down, took the ring mic and began cutting a promo to the crowd to take attention away from it.
The profiles of Mr Anderson and Mickie James have been officially removed from the TNA Impact Wrestling Official Roster Page. The two wrestlers have been negotiating with TNA on new contracts. It has been rumored that James turned down an initial contract offer from TNA and has possibly expressed interest in returning to the WWE.
RUMOR: Big Changes Coming To The Knockouts Division
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that TNA producer John Big Gaburick plans to revamp TNAs Knockouts division.
The report goes on to say that Gaburick sees the division as something that used to set TNA apart from WWE and has been marginalized recently.
Gaburick is said to have given Christy Hemme some authority in handling talent relations for the Knockouts. Hemme has been scouting new talent and is said to be answering directly to Gaburick. Christy has received high marks for how she has handled the new role so far.
Dean Ambrose Talks About The Shield's Goals & More
- WWE United States Champion Dean Ambrose recently spoke to TheMonitor.com to promote this weekend's WWE live events in Hidalgo, Texas. Here are some highlights:
What is the goal of The Shield within the company?
Ambrose: Our goal, from a personal standpoint, is to work harder than everyone else day in, day out. Get up earlier, train harder and work harder in the ring. This business is ours for the taking and we can take it and were going to. And if anyone has a problem with that, then, too bad. Also, I wouldnt call us cheaters, I would call us winners. Were not mercenaries, were not thugs. We just do whats best for business by whatever means possible. Thats all kind of up to you to make your own decision about whether thats good or bad.
Do you still kind of find it amazing that you used to watch wrestling from home and now youre (a part of it)?
Ambrose: Its still very hard to wrap my brain around. I was in a main event overall last night, and that doesnt sink in. I always expected to be here, from day one it was just a question of when, but it was going to happen. And from the minute I got (to WWE), I expected to be in main events (Im not in main events all the time, Im still climbing the ladder). I try to stay pretty humble. Just being in the locker room with guys that I watched on TV; getting advice from Arn Anderson or William Regal, that kind of stuff is really cool to me; getting to work really closely with Triple H, its, no pun intended, a trip. Its weird because you dream of being in this world one day and then you are and then its just everyday life and its like, 7-foot (Big Show) walks into catering and its like, "Whats up, Show?"
If you could meet anyone in the ring...
Ambrose: Ive had the opportunity to wrestle pretty much everybody, a huge litany of stars and in my crystal ball, I see myself and CM Punk crossing paths and colliding. Its not anything thats boiling right now.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Back from the break the #1 contender, AJ Styles, makes his way out to the ring. AJ says hes been in TNA since day one busting his ass with his brothers to try and make an alternative for the fans. He says they busted their asses to put TNA on the map and then Dixie Carters daddy bought her a wrasslin company. AJ says she had no experience in wrestling and she put no blood, sweat, or tears into it. He says that she broke up the chemistry that made TNA what it was. He says all because she had stars in her eyes. AJ namedrops Jerry Lynn and Low-Ki and says she traded guys like that in for MMA stars and guys that needed 2 year paid vacations to do absolutely nothing and go right back where they belong (AJ just threw Christian under the bus, ouch).
AJ namedrops Jay Lethal, Alex Shelley, and Petey Williams too and says those guys arent here because of that very thing and it pisses him off. AJ asks if hes the only one thats pissed off about that and gets a big cheer. He says Dixies biggest mistake is starring her right in the face. He says that she has given him a chance to win the World Title and despite what the internet says he doesnt have a contract in TNA right now. AJ says there isnt a contracted wrestler in the back that has any respect for her anyway. AJ says all of those guys that she picked off one by one there is just one left standing, AJ. He says that he will win the World Heavyweight Title and hes going to win it for himself and for all those guys that she kicked to the curb and for the fans. AJ says he is going to make her get on her knees and beg and then he is going to make her PAY him.
Dixie Carter walks out to the ring looking none too happy. Dixie looks at AJ without saying something and AJ tells her to say something and says he expected at least a tweet because everyone knows she can at least do that. Dixie says shes known AJ a long time and she knows that for AJ to come out and say these kinds of things in this public way she knows he means them from the bottom of his heart. Dixie apologizes to AJ and says as president of TNA she has to be accountable. She says she is accountable to the investors in TNA, the staff, the fans, and to him. She says that she owes AJ an apology and Im sorry Im so, so sorry THAT I EVER, EVER, EVER ALLOWED YOU TO THINK THAT YOU WERE IMPORTANT IN THIS COMPANY! Dixie says she should have told him a long time ago that he was nothing better than an average fish in ANY pond he might be in. Dixie says that the whole Phenomenal One is an illusion that she created.
Dixie says she created that as a marketing tool for all the wonderful 5 star matches you USED to have and I say USED to have because I cant freaking remember the last time you had one. Dixie says everything about AJ lately has been so subpar that he would be lucky if they started calling him the marginal one. Dixie says he is nothing like he used to be and the fans are killing her right now. Dixie thanks AJ for allowing her to come into HER ring on HER show to respond to all of the crap he has criticized her about. Dixie says she hopes now they are a little bit more clear about things. Dixie says without her daddys paycheck AJ would still be in a trailer and the house that everyone claims AJ built (TNA) SHE is the one that built it. She says that he is lucky that she ever let him play in her house. Dixie screams at AJ that he asked for this.
AJ says before she leaves she should stick that microphone where it belongs and then Dixie screams at one of the staff guys to cut his microphone off, and then she forces them cut the lights and the show.
The current plan is for Ricardo Rodriguez to remain alongside Rob Van Dam until Van Dam takes his break from the company. Once that happens, it has been rumored that they will pair Rodriguez with Rey Mysterio.
Some fans are turning their disappointment with the current WWE storyline into a refund for Night of Champions. Several fans claim to have called Cox Cable and asked for a refund after Daniel Bryan's WWE Title win at Night of Champions was overturned on RAW. The fans have reportedly received refunds.
A Cox representative has confirmed that other people have called and received refunds because the finish of the show they paid for were invalidated.
CM Punk has been injured for several weeks now, which is why he's barely been wrestling a full match at recent WWE live events. Word is that Punk's knee and ankle are injured but he's dealing with other nagging injuries. The attack from Ryback at Night of Champions will allow Punk one or two weeks off TV.
A lot of people within WWE are talking about how Punk's deal expires next summer and what that means for his future. It's probably too early to tell what's in store for him but it is something being talked about among the other wrestlers.
