- DAngelo Dinero was forced to withdraw from weekend bookings due to an injury to his shoulder. Dineros injury was originally thought to be a separated shoulder. It now appears he also suffered torn ligament damages as well. Officials are hopeful that he will return to action by next months TNA Sacrifice PPV, but that is still far-fetched pending his recovery time.
Shannon Moore commented on the recent WWE releases, through his Twitter page:
"It sucks to hear that people lost jobs today. From what I hear that place is a black hole anyway. Alot of peeps are miserable going to work. They dont understand what talent is. They would rather hire a jackass that don't know nothing about the biz rather than someone that loves it and pay pennies on the dollar to get someone to sign their life away. I think that the talent should think about making the jump. I thank god everyday for my chance to be family with TNA. From the office to talent in TNA it's nothing but fun. All I can say is @tnadixie thank you for bringing me into the family. I love going to work. Hogan F'N rocks. I wear TNA colors with pride and will bust my ass to better the company.TNA TNA TNA TNA."
Update on a possible ECW stable in TNA Posted by Mark Virginia on 04/23/2010 at 11:37 AM
Credit: F4WOnline.com
TNA has hired a consulting firm to look at their TV numbers and interview fans for feedback. The memories from fans in the males 18-34 demographic of ECW were said to be strongly positive. Based on that research, Eric Bischoff is interested in doing an ECW-like stable in TNA. The idea would be to have Paul Heyman as the leader of the group with guys like Tommy Dreamer, Team 3D, Rob Van Dam, Taz, Dr. Stevie, Raven and Mick Foley, when he returns to the storylines.
There are conflicting reports on Heyman. Some close to him believe theres a chance of him coming to TNA but others dont believe it will happen, as a talent or writer. Heyman was being talked about a lot at the recent Impact tapings backstage. Heyman is currently working on two different books, one being an autobiography.
Daffney updates fans on her injury status Posted by Mark Virginia on 04/22/2010 at 05:55 PM
Daffney has posted a new blog entry, discussing her recent injury, here is what she had to say
Hello Daffanatics!
Just wanted to write ya'll a note to give you a little more info about lil 'ol me. I know my injuries were reported as having a severely bruised sternum, and a really bad stinger (common wrestling/football injury) but I also had a minor concussion. Thankfully - the hit to the head was nowhere near as bad last October when I decided jumping in barbed wire looked like fun.
I sunset flipped my opponent but she stayed standing - then she sat down which caused the bruised sternum. Honestly, after that, I went into auto-pilot mode. I do not remember the rest of the match - even the finishing move (sitdown spinebuster) and the 1-2-3. You can ask any wrestler if they have finished a match while they were unconscious, and almost everyone of them will tell you they have.
Next thing I remember was Andrew Thomas (our awesome ref) saying, "Trainer!" He said I was laying there with my eyes wide open and asked me numerous times if I was okay - but I must have been in my own little world as I recall nothing of that.
When the trainers & everyone came to the ring, our TNA on site trainer came up near my head and I told him that my lower sternum hurt. I also told him my neck hurt - yet felt weird and it felt very warm. He then told me to go ahead and straighten my leg. From the hush that fell and tense vibe in the air, I said, " It's not moving, is it?" They all distracted me with other routine questions. A few minutes later he asked me to wiggle my toes. Same tense air that could be cut with a butter knife. Me: "They're not moving, huh?" The whole time I just stared straight to the top of the Impact Zone and prayed. Everyone around me was saying reassuring things so I just stayed still and answered questions. The next time I was asked to wiggle my toes, I could feel them going - and there was a collected sigh of relief. Stingers - (especially bad ones) can make you go numb for a short while - so once the sensation came back I kept praying, "It's just a stinger. And NO - my sternum/ribs aren't broken..." X-rays at the hospital showed just that. :)
Are you there God? It's me...Daff. :)
SO! Not much one can do for those injuries. A stinger is just VERY scary at first. Then your neck tightens up and is sore - so I have already begun some stretching. The sternum is a deep bruise. So that will just take a little while.... But ya'll know me...I'm a fighter!
Let me also take this opportunity to say how sorry I am to you, Angelina, for injuring your arm. I wish you a very speedy recovery and am SOOOO glad you won't need surgery!!!!
And to Gen AKA LuFisto. Please let's all pray for her. I didn't know about her stroke until I read about my own injuries and was completely shocked. I just saw her at the last Shimmer tapings and she was sweet, bubbly Fisto! I am sending positive energy to you, you crazy Canuck!

Their explosive match with Rey Mysterio and Kane was intense from beginning to end. As Gallows and The Big Red Monster brawled outside the ring, The Master of the 619 propelled himself off the ropes, directly at The Second City Saint. When Punk caught him in mid-air and tried to execute the Go to Sleep, Mysterio countered, trying to pull his opponent down to the canvas for the pin. But, the resourceful Punk kept his balance, dropping down onto Mysterios shoulders for the quick victory.
Although Mysterio was unable to dial up the 619, he did kick Punk into the barbers chair after the match. However, before he could continue the hair cut he had started to give Punk on Raw, Serena jumped in between them and allowed her savior to escape.

WWE Diva Maryse wrote the following on Twitter last night: "Had security escort me back to my place, got attack by a stalker in middle of street in middle of day in WeHo, what the heck, CRAZY! I'm still out of breath, I got sooooo scare! I couldn't talk! I'm alright!"
- The draft will take place on a 3-hour RAW. It will be the first RAW since last summer without a Guest Host.
- As for the format of the show, weve heard that there will be several RAW vs. SmackDown matches with the winning brand getting draft picks.
- The 2010 WWE Supplemental Draft will take place on WWEs website Wednesday, April 28th at noon. This years event will be hosted by Howard Finkel. Well have full coverage of the supplemental draft here on Wednesday.
As for which superstars are getting drafted, the one name that keeps coming up is Randy Orton moving to SmackDown. A few years back when SmackDown moved to MyNetwork TV, WWE stacked the show by moving Triple H and Jim Ross to Friday nights. With SmackDown moving to SyFy in the fall, WWE likely will need to add some star power to the show and Orton is looking like the top candidate to be moved right now.
Batista Finishing Up In WWE Following Tonight's PPV
The following news may contain a spoiler in regards to tonight's WWE Extreme Rules PPV main event, read with caution!!!
The word within the WWE locker room in Baltimore, which plays host to tonights WWE Extreme Rules PPV, is that Batista will be finishing up with the company this week. Batista is set to challenge John Cena tonight in a last man standing match for the Championship.
Batista made headlines dating back to this past January when he made it known he was ready to retire within the year, after being burnt out and his aspirations to become a movie star. A majority of the WWE crew arrived early this weekend in Baltimore for the PPV and those within the backstage area believe Batistas career in the WWE will come to an end shortly following the Extreme Rules PPV.
While this all remains speculation, there is great belief that Batista will indeed retire from the Pro Wrestling ring. Stay tuned as we continue to gather information.
Shad def. Goldust Yoshi Tatsu def. Zack Ryder John Morrison def. Carlito
NXT Rookie Michael Tarver cant catch a break. Not only has the aggravated young competitor continually placed in the bottom of NXT polls, but he has repeatedly been a thorn in the side of his NXT Pro Carlito. Tarvers woes continued on this weeks WWE Superstars, proving once again that making it in WWE is not an easy thing.

John Morrison def. Carlito (PHOTOS | VIDEOS) After the disappointing events of tonights main event, Carlito might be ready to give his NXT Rookie Michael Tarver a failing grade. For the second Thursday in a row, the young competitor attempted to help his NXT Pro grab a victory on WWE Superstars and ended up costing him the match. Still, its hard to say whether or not the Puerto Rican Superstar would have defeated John Morrison anyway. The Friday Night Delight was absolutely explosive in this main event, hitting Carlito with an array of dazzling maneuvers on his way to victory.
Yoshi Tatsu def. Zack Ryder (PHOTOS | VIDEOS) Few Superstars have been experiencing the kind of success in 2010 that Yoshi Tatsu has been enjoying. Since winning the 26-Man Battle Royal at WrestleMania, the Japanese Superstar has been kicking his way through the competition and continued to do so tonight. Going one-on-one with Long Islands Zack Ryder, Tatsu showed off the educated feet hes known for, destroying his opponent with a series of bone-shattering strikes on his way to victory. After tonights loss, Ryder should add training into his daily schedule of gym, tan, laundry.
Shad def. Goldust (PHOTOS | VIDEOS) Since viciously cutting ties with his Cryme Tyme partner JTG, SmackDowns Shad has been competing with a newfound mean streak. While the WWE Universe may not respect the big mans underhanded actions, they have to appreciate the physical dominance he showed in his match against Goldust tonight. The Bizarre One used everything in his arsenal in an attempt to stop the behemoth from Brooklyn, but he simply couldnt overpower Shad. Look for the same brutality when Shad takes on JTG in a Strap Match at Extreme Rules on Sunday.
On Twitter, Katie Lea commented on her release from WWE yesterday, writing: "omg you guys! v touched by all the love and support... actually a little bit overwhelmed... thank you!!"
Regarding Mickie James' shocking release today from WWE, she was fired because she more than once on the European tour arrived late for the bus, holding up travel.
That was considered the straw that broke the camel's back dating back to her being disciplined by being sent to SmackDown! due to substandard performances and issues with her weight. They were also not happy with her music aspirations. Maria felt the same wrath with her release from WWE. WWE management doesn't take kindly to their talent doing outside projects while working a full-time WWE schedule.
According to a source, she had just beaten a bad staph infection and was lucky to return in time for Wrestlemania. Many felt she should have been more professional in her dealings with WWE.
- According to Dave Meltzer, former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis has begun talks with TNA Wrestling. Maria was released from her WWE contract on February 26th.
