According to Mike Johnson, Nigel McGuinness has signed a two-year deal with TNA. It is believed that WWE backed out of their offer after getting the results of a physical test that McGuinness took. Apparently, it was McGuinness that reached out to TNA and not the other way around.
At this point, Bryan Danielson has passed his drugs/physical test and still expected to be signing with WWE.

Yoshi Tatsu def. Zack Ryder Sheamus vs. local competitor ECW Champion Christian def. Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho (Non-Title Match)
COLUMBIA, S.C. Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho took a trip to the Land of the Extreme Tuesday night. While the SmackDown Superstar came to ECW to scout for talent to join his WWE Bragging Rights team, ECW General Manager Tiffany had another idea for Jericho.
ECW Champion Christian def. Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho (Non-Title Match) (PHOTOS | WATCH) Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho joined ECW on Syfy this week, but his plans to recruit members for the SmackDown Team for the WWE Bragging Rights Tag Team Match quickly went awry. After interrupting The Abraham Washington Show (WATCH) and Rosa Mendes ECW debut, ECW General Manager Tiffany denied Jerichos request to scout for talent. (WATCH) Later, the tag champ conspired with William Regal to allow Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov to join his SmackDown Team Sunday, but Tiffany stopped the disrespectful Jerichos scheme and ordered him to face ECW Champion Christian later that night. (WATCH)
In Tuesdays main event, Captain Charisma gave Jericho a little taste of what the Land of the Extreme had to offer. The former World Tag Team Champions hadn't faced each other in six years. Jerichos night of talent-seeking backfired when he met the ECW Champion in one-on-one action. After a devastating Killswitch, Christian pinned the Unified Tag Team Champion for the monumental victory on ECW on Syfy.
Yoshi Tatsu def. Zack Ryder (PHOTOS | WATCH) Yoshi Tatsus winning streak continued this week on ECW on Syfy. The Japanese Superstar was victorious over Zack Ryder, earning himself a future ECW Championship Match! Tatsu was overjoyed by his win over the brash, cocky, Long Island, N.Y.-bred Superstar, unabashedly celebrating while the WWE Universe in the Colonial Life Arena cheered.
New No. 1 contender Tatsu will fight Christian for the Extreme Title on next week's ECW on Syfy! Will the Japanese Superstars winning streak continue when he faces ECW Champion Christian for the gold? Watch ECW on Syfy Tuesday night at 10/9 CT.
Sheamus vs. local competitor (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Celtic Warrior met a local competitor in singles action on ECW on Syfy, but their match was interrupted by none other than Sheamus enemy, Shelton Benjamin. The Gold Standard, angry about Sheamus proclamation last week that hell stop at nothing to annihilate him, stormed into the ring and attacked his rival, causing the match to end in a no-contest. After the assault, a stunned Sheamus grasped the back of his head and stumbled up the ramp as an irate Benjamin watched.
Whats next for Sheamus and Benjamin? When will these two Extreme Superstars meet again in the ring?
Paul Burchill confronts The Hurricane (PHOTOS | WATCH) After defeating The Hurricane last week on ECW, Paul Burchill demanded that Gregory Helms unmask himself as The Hurricane in front of the WWE Universe. After The Hurricane entered the ring and began to remove his mask, Burchill and his sister, Katie Lea, were stunned to see it was an imposter. Moments later, The Hurricane appeared from under the ECW ring and attacked Burchill with The Hurri-Cane. The shocked brother and sister duo retreated up the ramp, allowing the masked Superstar to get the last laugh this time.
Will Burchill ever be able to prove his theory that Helms and The Hurricane are one in the same? When will these rivals meet again in the ECW ring?
CM Punk was featured in an interview with TheState.com this morning to help promote the WWE Smackdown/ECW taping in Columbia, South Carolina. One topic covered was Punk's dream Wrestlemania opponent:
"Last year, before I was in the MITB match, it was Rey (Mysterio), Punk said. "This year, it's still Rey. Mania is a long ways away right now, so it's hard to say where I'll end up, but I do need a haircut."
The following is an excerpt from an article from Chron.com:
Former wrestler details her very close call
By KEN HOFFMAN Copyright 2009 HOUSTON CHRONICLE Oct. 19, 2009, 5:19PM
Torrie Wilson, the former WWE diva who now runs a clothing store called Jaded in The Woodlands, scared the pants off her fans last week by tweeting
Big scare for me tonight. I was in the emergency room. Thought I was heading up to Heaven for a minute there. Thanks for letting me stay a little longer, Jesus!
That's all she wrote.
Here's what actually happened that night.
She was visiting her brother in San Diego when
I had a bad reaction to medicine because of a thyroid problem I have had for years, and my heart was starting to shut down on me. This was combined with the newfound discovery that I have an abnormally slow heartbeat. By the time I reluctantly went to the doctor, I was rushed to the emergency room with numb arms and legs and blue hands. I was extremely dizzy and nauseous. I still didn't take this seriously until the doctor started freaking out on me, Wilson said.
I had a horribly close call, and I'm ashamed to admit that I Twittered' about it hours after I was out of the hospital because I was so flabbergasted at what happened! I guess I forgot how many people actually pay attention to me, Wilson said.
I believe the proper word would be Tweeted.
She continued. I was not taking prescription pain pills and anything crazy like the Internet rumors said. It's horrifying that all those crazy people accuse me of that just because I used to be a wrestler. Who knows what would have happened if I didn't go to the emergency room? It's a scary thought. My heart rate was 30 per minute and slowing when I finally got help. I will never take medication without doing research on possible adverse reactions. In a nutshell, that's what happened.
TNA wrestler Daniels spoke about TNA swiping Nigel McGuinness from WWE when McGuinness made his official debut at tonight's TNA Impact taping for Thursday's show. He posted the following message on Twitter:
"Nigel McGuinness at TNA is their loss and our gain!! A good guy wins in the end!!"
According to the website Prowrestling.net, the word at Sunday's TNA Bound For Glory PPV was that TNA would not be renewing Booker T's contract when it expires next month. There was said to be talk that TNA President Dixie Carter would have a change of heart if Booker said the right things, but every indication right now is that he sealed his fate when he refused to job to Matt Morgan at the last set of Impact TV tapings. The creative team booked the stretcher angle at the PPV to get him out written of the match. Apparently there were a lot of rolling eyes backstage over the way he acted as he was being stretchered out. One TNA source even added, "He's been such an asshole that most people were just happy to see him go." The belief is that WWE has interest in bringing Booker back to the company once he is contractually available.
Dave Meltzer is reporting that TNA Knockout Daffney reportedly suffered a broken arm at Sunday's Bond For Glory pay-per-view. The injury occurred on a bump she took during the Monster's Ball match between Abyss and Mick Foley.
Thanks to M.G. & ProWrestling.net for the following:
The BFG show was incredible live. Every match had that big time feel to it. Samoa Joe was the clear cut favorite tonight. The fan reactions last night was amazing. I believe there were at least 4,500 to 5,000 people there. It was pretty full and very exciting.
The Abyss vs. Mick Foley match was favorite hands down. The AJ Styles vs. Sting match was full of drama and had the perfect ending.
Matt Morgan was hated by the fans but he earned their respect. The X Divison match was the perfect way to start things off. Also Hernandez really got a big pop from the crowd last night as well. The Motor City Machine Guns were the perfect way to kickoff a pre-show.
From where I was sitting, you could see Rob Van Dam talking to Dixie Carter. A few fans started chanting and he did his little thumb pose. It was an awesome show from top to bottom.
- Rumors have been circulating around the internet recently that ODB was either finished with TNA or that she was finishing up with TNA in the near future. Those rumors appear to be FALSE as ODB's facebook account was hacked and several posts that were made were not true.

TNA Press Conference recap: Matt Morgan
Thanks to Richard Trionfo and PWInsider.com
The following is a complete recap of the TNA Bound For Glory Post-PPV Press Conference:
Matt Morgan
Matt Morgan is next. Matt is asked how he feels and Matt says that he has gone through a lot. Matt says that he is banged up after going to war with the best wrestler in the world. Matt is asked about how Angle is able to change up his game and then he is asked about what went wrong during the match. Matt says that you can have the best game plan, but Kurt is the ultimate chessmaster and he can change things at any time. Matt says that he went into the match with a lot of hatred for Angle, but he has much more respect for Angle. He says that Angle did not go for any short cuts. Matt says that Angle told him that this was the furthest that he has been taken. Matt says that he is usually a sore loser, but he goes home with a lot of pride because he earned Kurts respect. Matt says that it means a lot for him. Matt is asked about how he advanced in his career by having Kurt raise his hand. Matt says that it was a shock and it hit him like a ton of bricks. Matt says that he got his shoulder up just after the three count. He says that it meant a lot to be that close against the best in the world. Matt says that he was not surprised that Angle went after his leg and he took advantage of things. Matt is asked what his match means for big man wrestling. Matt says that his goal has been to set the stage for future seven footers to have the goal to raise the standards and have the athleticism and charisma instead of the fi fie fo fum Im seven foot and dumb wrestlers. Matt says that he was honored to be in the semi main event and his next goal is the World Title.
TNA Press Conference recap: Daniels
Thanks to Richard Trionfo and PWInsider.com
Daniels
The next to the podium is Daniels. He is asked how he is doing. Daniels says that he is a bit beaten up and sore. He says the end of the match was a bit of a blur as he hit the mat. He says that things happen and him and Suicide were fighting for the belt and he wanted to be able to hold onto the belt a little longer. Daniels is asked about the bump and he said that he was not expecting to see the truss and it changed up his game plan. He talks about using what you have. Daniels figured that he could climb down the truss and use the environment to help him. He says that it worked against him a bit and Red was able to retain the title. Daniels is asked if an Ultimate X match is a respect builder. He says that the match is the next step in wrestling but there is so little wrestling because the match does not have to deal with the skill. It is about what you are willing to put on the line to win the match. If someone is intimidated by the height and the spectacle, you are going to lose. He talks about the people who have won the Ultimate X match and you come out with respect. Daniels says that he hopes he earned everyones respect after what he did. He is asked where this match ranks in his career. Daniels says that losing the match brings it down a notch because he was so close. Daniels mentions that he has a bruised neck and a slightly separated shoulder. Daniels mentions some of the curve balls with The Pope not in the match and the Machine Guns added. He says the match was a disappointment, but he did everything that he was willing to do and then some. Red was the one who was lucky enough to get the belt and he will have more chances at the title.
TNA Press Conference recap: AJ Styles
Thanks to Richard Trionfo and PWInsider.com
A.J. Styles
A.J. Styles comes out next. A.J. is asked what is like to end Stings streak. A.J. says that he won the match, but he wishes that Sting would have been able to win. A.J. says that he is proud to still be champion. A.J. says that he is beaten up after the match. He says that Sting gave him everything and he was able to keep the title. A.J. says that Sting is one of the best and he was honored that Sting accepted his challenge and gave him everything. A.J. says that he found out who he is after what Sting did in the ring. A.J. is asked if he was surprised by anything or if he went to the next level. A.J. says that he learned a new level of pain because he thought his back was going to break in half in the Scorpion Death Lock. Sting is an icon for a reason. A.J. is asked if there was any apprehension because of what the match meant for Sting. A.J. says that he has so much respect for Sting that he asked to wrestle Sting in front of his family and friends. He wanted to give Sting the chance to wear the title belt one more time, but he was not going to hand it to him. They are not just friends, but they are believers. A.J. was asked what he was thinking when he hit the Pele kick. He wanted to know if Sting would ever go down and then he hoped that he would be able to keep Sting down. He says that he hit Sting in the temple with the Pele kick. A.J. says that he did not think he had anything more. A.J. was asked about his ring gear and A.J. talks about the pink and the link to breast cancer awareness. A.J. is asked about the future and how he is the face of TNA.

A.J. is asked if he ever thought he would be in this position. A.J. did not think that he would have a press conference for wrestling. He thought it might have been football or basketball. A.J. says that he was supposed to do this.
TNA Press Conference recap: Sting
Thanks to Richard Trionfo and PWInsider.com
Sting
Sting is asked about how A.J. compares to other legends he has faced. Sting says that A.J. cannot be compared to anyone. He says that A.J. will be the innovator of innovators because his tenacity is endless. Sting is asked what he was most impressed about. Sting says that he gave A.J. everything and A.J. fought back. He talks about how he had A.J. in his hold but A.J. was able to get out of the hold. Sting is asked if he thought he had A.J. beat. Sting says that he thought he had it won the first time he dropped him. Eventually he did not know up from down. Sting is asked where this match ranks. He says that it is too early right now, but it is probably in his top three. Sting is asked about the end of the streak. Sting says that people made a bigger deal out of it than he did. Sting says that tonights match was not going to define him as a wrestler but he wanted to win.

Sting is asked if there is anything else to do and he says that there is nothing else for him to do. Sting says that if it wasnt for the fans, there would be no Sting. There would be no wrestling. He thanks the fans, especially the ones in the arena because they made him want to stay. Sting is asked if any family member could make it and Sting says that they were in Texas with his son. Sting is asked if this is his last match in TNA and he does not know if this is the last match. Sting thanks everyone and he thanks God.
It's being reported that D'Angelo Dinero left the Bound For Glory PPV early today due to a family emergency. This explains why the pre-show match with The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Lethal Consequences was for a spot in the Ultimate X Match on the PPV itself. It was also the reason TNA changed the match to a title match instead of a number one contender's match.
During a spot which saw Daniels and Suicide take a very scary fall in the Ultimate X match that opened the pay-per view, Daniels suffered a slightly seperated shoulder. In addition to the shoulder, Daniels apparently suffered a pretty badly bruised neck injury as well.
The other man involved in the bump, Suicide (Frankie Kazarian), was also suffering from some pretty bad bumps and bruises, but they were said to be nowhere near the level of Daniels.
TNA made two announcements today. The first is that they are heading to France in January of 2010:

On September 4, ROH announced that McGuinness had agreed to a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment "in principle",[10]. However, in October it was reported that McGuinness' deal with the WWE had fallen through and he had decided to jump ship to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
Nigel McGuinness is telling people backstage at the TNA iMPACT! tapings today that he opted to sign with TNA because WWE took too long to send his contract.
TNA officials then stepped in and struck a deal with McGuinness.
As noted earlier here on TNAWrestlingNews.com, Nigel McGuinness made his debut in a backstage segment with Kurt Angle. During the course of the segment, Nigel attacked Angle.
Bryan Danielson is not backstage at the TNA tapings today. There is nothing confirmed regarding his status with WWE or TNA.
Tomko is backstage at the TNA tapings today as noted earlier but may not be used tonight. He is in the booking plans leading into TNA's next PPV but that could always change. It's possible they may use him tomorrow night instead. I'm under the impression that he has not signed any sort of deal at this time. We're working to get that confirmed.
It should be noted that WWE officials may be in revenge mode after TNA swooped in and took Nigel McGuinness. It'll be interesting to see what happens next.
Big Show, Mark Henry, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston & Jack Swagger def. MVP, Evan Bourne, Primo, Chavo Guerrero & Chris Masters WWE Champion Randy Orton def. Ted DiBiase Triple H def. John Cena United States Champion The Miz def. Marty Jannetty WWE Divas Champion Melina def. Jillian Shawn Michaels vs. Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho ended in a No Contest
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - With just six days remaining until WWE Bragging Rights, the red team of Raw mixed it up with the boys in blue from Team SmackDown to leave more than a few Superstars from each squad feeling a little black-and-blue.
Shawn Michaels vs. Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho ended in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH) It figures. Unified Tag Team Champion and Team SmackDown co-captain Chris Jericho was supposed to fight against Team Raw co-captain Shawn Michaels in the main event. Jericho, however, wasnt about to let a perfectly good opportunity to deceive and punish his WWE Bragging Rights rival go to waste.
Having witnessed the Team Raw disarray earlier in the evening, Jericho presumed he could take advantage. As he and HBK stood in the ring, he summoned the rest of his SmackDown crew in the hope of pummeling Michaels. The plan, however, backfired. Rather than intimidate HBK, the scheme actually offered a common purpose to the Raw lineup as they emerged to confront their SmackDown counterparts.
As the two teams verged on combat, SmackDowns Vickie Guerrero interrupted, insisting that no physicality would occur until Sunday at WWE Bragging Rights. DX didnt take Vickies whining to heart, instead attacking their opponents, which resulted in an all-out brawl between Team Raw and Team SmackDown to end Monday night.
NASCARs Kyle Busch and Joey Logano to host the next Raw Gentlemen, start your hosting duties! Next week, NASCAR drivers Kyle Busch and Joey Logano rev things up when they drive into Buffalo, N.Y., to serve as special guest hosts of Monday Night Raw.
WWE Divas Champion Melina def. Jillian (PHOTOS | WATCH) Jillians brief reign as Divas Champion hit a sour note last week thanks to Melina. Mere moments after the tone deaf Diva upset Mickie James to capture the gold, a Tri-branded Divas Trade was announced and Melina was re-introduced to Raw as its newest beauty. The Latina lovely then proceeded to defeat Jillian and claim the Divas Title as her own.
This week, Jillian sought revenge with the assistance of Chavo Guerrero. The so-called Mexican Warrior seemed poised to interfere when Hornswoggle emerged from under the ring sporting a Snoop Dogg outfit and attacked him. This allowed Melina to refocus on the match and defeat her blond rival. Now Melina must shift her focus to this Sunday when she will team with Kelly Kelly & Gail Kim at WWE Bragging Rights to face down Womens Champion Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix & Natalya.
In the post-match chaos, a frustrated Chavo appeared bent on retaliation. As he went to attack the little leprechaun, however, the real Snoop Dogg entered. The rapper/actor and Hornswoggle then teamed up to teach Chavo a lesson in humility. Ooooh, Chavo.
United States Champion The Miz def. Marty Jannetty (PHOTOS | WATCH) After arguing with his WWE Bragging Rights opponent and Intercontinental Champion John Morrison over who is the former tag teams Marty Jannetty as opposed to the teams Shawn Michaels The Miz found himself in the uncomfortable position of having to take on Jannetty himself, compliments of Raws special guest host Snoop Dogg.
Jannetty, a former World Tag Team Champion and Intercontinental Champion, forced The Miz, current United States Champion, to give second thought to the notion of Jannetty as punch line. Sadly, though, the lesson was probably lost on the self-centered Superstar, who prevailed in the end.
Triple H def. John Cena (PHOTOS | WATCH) In what may prove to be his final match on Raw, John Cena went face-to-face with one of the shows toughest competitors, Triple H. The two powerhouses clashed like a sledgehammer against a cement wall. In the end, though, only one man could prevail. And when the bell finally rang, it was The King of Kings who drove through wall. As Cena rose after his defeat, the WWE Universe offered him a salute befitting a warrior the likes of which may never been seen in Raws orbit again.
WWE Champion Randy Orton def. Ted DiBiase (PHOTOS | WATCH) WWE Champion Randy Orton appeared much more composed after last week getting pinned by one of his own protégés, Ted DiBiase, in a Tag Team Match. DiBiase argued that The Viper would have seized the opportunity just as he had. That line of reasoning, however, fell on deaf ears this week as Orton insisted that DiBiase not fight back as a show of respect. While the young Superstar initially seemed unwilling to voluntarily surrender in the ring, in the end, DiBiase did just that, allowing Orton to RKO him for the victory.
DX arranged Team Raw members in a 10-Man Tag Team Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) To test their teams mettle just six days before WWE Bragging Rights, Team Raw co-captains Triple H and Shawn Michaels arranged for Big Show, Mark Henry, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston & Jack Swagger to face MVP, Evan Bourne, Primo, Chavo Guerrero & Chris Masters. The catch? If anyone from Team Raw were to lose, that member would be replaced by the opponent that pinned him before facing Team SmackDown on Sunday.
Unfortunately for Team Raw, their members were too busy squabbling with one another to display any cohesive focus. Before their dissension proved toxic, however, The All-American American managed to overcome the internal strife and score a pin for his team. The respite proved brief, though, as the team members began to exchange blows amongst themselves.
Raw guest host Snoop Dogg arranged WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase, Shawn Michaels vs. Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho (PHOTOS | WATCH) Dont let Snoop Dogg fool you. The rapper/actor has kicked out a trunk full of thick, laid back beats over the years and has played some mellow characters on the big screen, but he was all business in his role as Raws special guest host.
Snoop reiterated that John Cenas battle with Triple H may be his final match on Raw, that is if Cena loses to WWE Champion Randy Orton at WWE Bragging Rights. Wanting to go down as the greatest guest host of all time, Snoop also arranged for Orton to face Ted DiBiase, the protégé who pinned The Viper the week prior. For good measure, the rapper/actor set up a bout pitting Team SmackDown co-captain Chris Jericho against Team Raw co-captain Shawn Michaels.
TNAWrestlingNews.com is reporting that Rob Van Dam was backstage at Bound for Glory visiting. As noted earlier, Brian Kendrick, Chuck Palumbo and Lena Yada were all backstage as well.
