Nigel McGuinness spoke with The UKs Sun about his status with WWE:
I am not 100 percent on board yet. I still have to cross some Is and dot some Ts but its looking positive. Its been a long time coming for sure. Ten years since I first took a bump and about eighteen since that fateful day I sat in Wembley Stadium [at SummerSlam 1992] and said I was one day going be a pro-wrestler. Still, like I said, I dont want to tempt fate until its all signed sealed and delivered.
Matt Hardy posted the following on Twitter regarding the ending to his match with CM Punk on Fridays Smackdown:
By the way, for any of you wondering, I won SDs Main Event against World Champion CM Punk by DQ. And you ask, why was there no bell? Apparently, Punk threw the bell ringing tool away when he got the chair so they couldnt ring the bell-but Punk did get officially DQed..
As reported earlier, rumors are swirling saying Candice Michelle could be headed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
In an update on the situation, the former WWE Women's Champion may be introduced as the "winner" of Kevin Nash's "Big Sexy World Tour," which has him embarking across the United States in search of the perfect woman to accompany him to the ring at the Final Resolution pay-per-view on December 20, 2009.
The following is from Angelina Love's MySpace.com account:
As many of you have heard, I have unfortunatley been released from TNA. Working with TNA was an amazing experience. While on my journey I got to work with amazing people. I am going to miss each of them. It was a pleasure working in the best women's wrestling division today. But, most importantly I want to thank you, the fans for supporting me. You all are awesome! I want to tell you that this isn't goodbye, you all will see me again in a wrestling ring, hopefully very soon! Thank you all
In a correction from yesterday's report concerning Lauren Williams' (professionally known as "Angelina Love") sudden departure from Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, it was noted that she had been working under a visa she obtained during her time under contract to World Wrestling Entertainment as a developmental talent a few years ago. This is incorrect as her visa would have been deemed invalid as soon as she was let go her release occurred in May 2007. According to a person in the know, she has actually been working without a visa for the past two years, which is illegal.
Basically, if you are not a legal citizen of the United States, you must apply for a new working visa each and every time you start with a new employer. Seeing how Williams is a Canadian citizen working in the United States, she falls under this category. The person applying must initiate the matter themselves by either having: enough money in the bank to support themselves; a U.S. sponsor; or a company confirming they will employ them in the U.S.
In September 2007, Williams was contacted by TNA officials to appear at their annual October pay-per-view, Bound for Glory. For all of the debuting Knockouts including Williams the 10-Knockout Gauntlet to crown the first TNA Women's Champion was in actuality a tryout match. Williams passed with flying colors as she was signed to a contract a few days following the match and instantly became a regular television character. However, this is where the problem occurred.
From a legal standpoint, her work visa issues were supposed to be taken care of before she could sign her contract with TNA, but apparently weren't. Likewise, company officials carelessly ignored the issue as well. For instance, this explains why it took so long for Gail Kim who like Williams is a citizen of Canada to debut in WWE this past year as her work visa issues had to be resolved before she could legally start with the company. In Williams' case, she made a glaring mistake by starting with her new employer before first getting her visa situation taken care of. Considering Williams has been working without a visa for the past two years, both she and TNA could face serious legal ramifications should federal agents become informed of this alarming matter.
As far as possible punishment is concerned, Williams could be subject to deportation and banned from entering the United States for ten years. She may also be forced to pay back any money she garnered by working as an illegal immigrant in the U.S.
According to the source, when TNA president Dixie Carter was informed by her legal team about the amount of trouble her company could face as a result of employing an illegal immigrant, she hastily made the decision to terminate Williams' contract.
With the departure of Angelina Love from TNA, talk is going around that indy valet Trina Michaels may get her chance in the company and form a new version of "The Beautiful People." At the invitation of company personnel, Michaels attended a recent iMPACT! taping and sat in the front row. As of late, her MySpace page has become very "TNA friendly." It is also well known that Mick Foley and Hernandez are close friends with her. You can see some images of Michaels from the iMPACT! taping at the following link.

But instead of The Phenom, it was Matt Hardy who charged into the ring to brawl with The Straightedge Superstar. The emotion-charged fight ended only when WWE officials separated the two Superstars.

WWE.com has dropped their "Industry News" section, which used to report news from other promotions as well as news posted on other wrestling related websites. The feeling behind the original launch of the section was that it would increase traffic to the site as people would go to WWE.com instead of other pro wrestling sites, but because it had no effect on traffic, WWE decided to dump the section.
The following is an excerpt from an article from Scripps News:
Senerchia is now pursuing a new challenge as a color commentator for TNA Wrestling, the Nashville, Tenn.-based company that is trying to make inroads into WWE's industry-wide dominance.
"I couldn't be happier," Senerchia said in a recent telephone interview. "TNA reminds me of the original ECW, but with a real TV contract, real money and a lot of big names.
"We're not at the level of WWE yet. We're still young. There will be some growing pains. But the work ethic and passion are there to give our audience the best product possible."
Working for TNA requires less travel while providing Senerchia a greater chance to expand his wrestling horizons beyond announcing.
"I do a little bit of everything," said Senerchia, who made his TNA debut in July as Samoa Joe's "adviser." "Backstage, I'm assigned to (watch) talent that they want me to help nurture. I've also given feedback on the TV shows from a different perspective, having not only wrestled for WWE but worked in the studio."
Senerchia admits that a "little part" of his decision to leave WWE stemmed from the demands company owner Vince McMahon places on his announcing crew. Senerchia called the action on "Smackdown" (8 p.m. EDT Fridays, MyNetwork TV) and then ECW (10 p.m. Tuesdays, Syfy Network) after WWE relaunched that brand in 2006.
While offering heavy praise for McMahon and other top WWE officials, Senerchia said he performs "much better in a looser, relaxed atmosphere." McMahon's heavy-handed approach also prompted Mick Foley to leave WWE for TNA last year.
"At times, it's a little obnoxious to have so many people in your ear," Senerchia said. "You have to listen to your (announcing) partner, the executive producer and the company owner while trying to follow the talent in the ring and tell a story. I only have two ears, not six."
Taz is said to have already gained TNA president Dixie Carters trust as someone who has a good mind for the wrestling business. As previously noted, Taz was given some backstage agent responsibility following the releases of Dutch Mantel and Savio Vega.
Now, The PWTorch Newsletter reports that Taz may be receiving even more backstage responsbility within the company. Theres talk that the former ECW and WWE star has been making contributions to the TNA creative team, which may lead to a bigger role in the process sometime down the line.
Multiple sources within TNA feel BG James is at high risk of losing his job as backstage agent. One company source noted that James appears to be "hanging by a thread" and speculated that TNA would probably line up a replacement before letting him go since he was the only person going on the road for live events after Dutch Mantel was released and before Scott D'Amore was brought back. The former WWF tag team champion had a falling out with Jeff Jarrett this past summer, so it's unlikely that he would be let go as a result of his longtime friendship with him.

-- Women's wrestling blog site Diva-Dirt.com is reporting that TNA president Dixie Carter recently issued a mandate to strictly hire 'beautiful women'. It was noted that while she is solely interested in hiring 'beautiful women', she wants women who can actually wrestle.
As reported earlier, former WWE Diva Kristal Marshall is expected to join the promotion in the near future. TNA officials also have their sights set on another former Diva, that being Candice Michelle.
Michelle's name has been discussed in recent weeks in regards to bringing her in. She was released from WWE on June 17, 2009, shortly after being cleared to return to the ring. Hence, her ninety-day no-compete clause is set to expire two weeks from now
His contract with World Wrestling Entertainment is set to expire at the end of the year and the company has yet to offer him a new one.
It should be noted however that Ross is considering all of his options and joining TNA is very much a possible scenario he's taking seriously. He could just as well stay in WWE though.
The official TNA website removed Angelina Love's bio from the roster page this afternoon, thus confirming Internet reports saying she is no longer an active member of the TNA roster. Her photos have also been removed from the Knockouts photo gallery. It was reported earlier today that TNA released Love after an apparent issue with her working visa not being renewed.
Former TNA Knockouts Champion Angelina Love has been released by TNA. The reason for the release is that there was some form of issue with her work Visa either expiring or not being properly renewed. Love has been working under the Visa that she was issues when she got her WWE developmental deal. Due to her not having the proper paper work, TNA was said to have their hands tied, since they cannot legally use her without the proper paperwork complete.
It will be interested to see how TNA handles the situation and writes her out of the storylines, as Angelina Love and Velvet Sky had advanced to the finals of the Knockouts tag title tournament, which will conclude at the No Surrender pay-per-view. Love and Sky, forming The Beautiful People, have been the top heel act on the Knockouts division since they formed their alliance.
ROHWrestling.com has posted the following, announcing that Nigel McGuinness has agreed in principle to a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment:
Nigel McGuinness has agreed in principle to a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment.
Nigel has been a tremendous leader in the Ring of Honor locker room and, without question, a wonderful performer. His merits, both in and out of the ring, are extraordinary and any locker room with Nigel McGuinness in it is better for it. We couldn't be happier for Nigel as he takes the next step in his stellar wrestling career, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Nigel for all he's worked for and through.
Nigel has pledged to fulfill his scheduled Ring of Honor commitments. Please join us in Philadelphia, Boston, and New York as we bid an extremely fond farewell to another member of our family.
Everyone at Ring of Honor is extremely proud to have called both Nigel McGuinness and Bryan Danielson their own; and we looking forward to seeing their stars shine brighter than ever. Like many of the wonderful sons of Ring of Honor that have written new chapters in their wrestling annals, we will look on with a bittersweet smile to the future where we have no doubt that Nigel and Bryan will amaze the masses just like they've done so many times in Ring of Honor.
With the closing of this chapter a new one opens in Ring of Honor. We now look to an exciting time where new stars will blaze their own paths, while looking back in reverence to those who came before them. Who will seize the opportunity and carry the torch for ROH? We only hope that whoever it is will carry it with the same respect - the same honor - that Bryan and Nigel have.

This unique stipulation clearly benefited The Hart Dynasty, a trio who has been together since their training days in the legendary Hart Family Dungeon in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Utilizing the technical skills they learned at the educated hands of Bret Hart, The Dynasty was able to stop the explosive offense of Cryme Tyme and control the flow of the match. In the end, Natalya managed to pin Eve to score a big victory for her team in the main event of WWE Superstars.
Homicide is telling friends that he asked for his release from TNA over a month ago, but his request was denied. Apparently hes been frustrated by the company wanting to split up him and Hernandez.
former Survivor star Jenna Morasca is done with TNA wrestling. Her contract recently came up for renewal, and sources say that both sides came to an agreement not to renew the deal.
Morasca debuted last March and was brought into the Main Event Mafia as their financial backer. She will be remembered for her match at Victory Road with Sharmell, which was considered by most as the worst match in the company's 7-year history.
