Lance Storm had lunch with Adam "Edge" Copeland on Friday, and said he expects him back on WWE television relatively soon. I assume that means Copeland was in Calgary at the end of last week since that is the location of Storm's Wrestling School. Storm also stated on Wrestling Observer Radio Sunday night that Copeland is sporting a beard these days and with his hat looked like a "taller, skinner version of Evan Tanner."
Scott Steiner returning to TNA this week? Posted by Randy Gordon on 10/27/2008 at 04:03 PM
Bill Behrens is reporting that Scott Steiner is in Orlando, FL today at the TNA TV tapings. Hell most likely be back this week or on next week's show (taped tomorrow night).
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that the divorce between Kurt and Karen Angle is now final.
The Pittsburgh-Post Gazette issued a divorce notice in their paper last week, and Karen appeared on The Bubba The Love Sponge show and spoke out about the divorce being final. She claimed all issues between her and Kurt have been settled.
Although Karen's profile and photos still appear on TNA's website, it should be noted that the company has no plans to bring her back.
Mick Foley talks more about Vince McMahon Posted by Aaron Rift on 10/26/2008 at 05:27 PM
In an interview with Mike Mooneyham of Charleston.net, TNA Superstar Mick Foley said he not enjoy his final months in World Wrestling Entertainment due to Vince McMahon constantly screaming at him through his headset during SmackDown broadcasts. "It would be tough to overstate how much I disliked my last 3 1/2 months with WWE," Foley said. "It was a month before I got the first dose of Vince's unique medicine. I spoke to him the next day about it and told him I couldn't remember the last time I had been belittled and treated so disrespectfully. I accepted his apology and accepted that it was just part of a bad night he was having. But within a few weeks I realized that it would be part of the job and that I had to make a decision as to whether I found that acceptable." He also added, "In the end I told Vince that's not why I slept in my car and slept on a cot in the Red Roof Inn even while I was WWE champion. There's got to be a moral to every story, and I don't think you save money and sacrifice to do something you really don't want to do when you're 43."
Afgelopen zaterdag is Special Delivery Jones overleden...hij was 63...SD Jones was een WWE Superstar uit de jaren 70 en 80 en hij was laatst nog te zien tijdens de Hall of Fame ceremonie voor Wrestlemania 22 waar hij Tony Atlas introduceerde in de Hall of Fame...RIP SD Jones...
Special Delivery Jones, one of the steadiest performers ever to appear in a WWE ring, passed away on Oct. 26 in his native Antigua, West Indies; he was 63.
At last night's Cyber Sunday pay-per-view, Mickie James won the Divas Halloween costume contest after being voted the winner by the fans. James dressed up as Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider video game series. James won the contest last year as well, dressing up as a Native American, so she's won two years in a row. And quite like last year, Mickie James is currently on the back burner in the storylines in favor of other heavily pushed WWE Divas. Since losing the WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam, which coincided with the return of Candice Michelle, James has done little of note and is frequently left off of Raw. Considering that James' costume wasn't nearly as revealing or sexy as several of the other Divas such as Candice Michelle, Kelly Kelly, Maria, or Michelle McCool, and that she's won it two years in a row, this should be a good indication that James is the most popular female on the WWE roster. As if that isn't enough, James won despite being the last Diva of sixteen Divas to display her costume, and she only had approximately 30 minutes to sway viewers as the Undertaker vs. Big Show match was sandwiched in between the two segments. Some of the other Divas such as Candice Michelle and Michelle McCool were shown early during the broadcast and had a huge head start on her as a result. Despite their huge head start - and huge pushes on television - they still could not defeat the often-left-off-of-Raw Mickie James.
Kevin Nash says that when he sat down with Vince McMahon to discuss potential storylines in WWE if he were to make a return, McMahon wanted him to finish his career as Diesel with dyed hair.
"Vince wanted me to do the Diesel thing," Nash told Tim Baines of the Winnipeg Sun. "And I was OK with that, basically to start and end my career as Diesel. When we sat down and talked, Vince got to the point where he wanted me to color my hair dark. I went to my hair lady and she said with my hair, that's all I'd be doing is dying my hair."
Nash repeats the story about his wife convincing him to stick in TNA, but also adds more details on the original clique, Shawn Michaels and Triple H, growing up and growing apart.
"I sat down with my wife and she said: 'Shawn and Hunter are up there. But Hunter's married with kids. And Shawn's not going to be there much longer. You don't know any of those guys,'" Nash said. "It was a difficult decision because it is WWE, but I know I made the right decision."
Nash adds that he's lost 20 pounds to help relieve pressure on his aching knees. He says he doesn't take pain medicine either, as he saw what happened to previous wrestlers who became dependent on drugs.
"I don't take pain medicine. I think about painkillers," he said. "Some of the guys (who have died) were taking painkillers and muscle relaxers. Some of those painkillers were so strong, they might as well have been doing heroin."
The "Suicide" character has officially been put on hold due to Frankie Kazarian having surgery to repair his triceps and having to miss action for the next few months. TNA was originally going to debut the character either with a run-in at Bound For Glory or at the TV tapings following the event. The thought at the time when Kazarian went out was for someone else to play the character while he was away and limit his role, although it would appear they have dropped all plans entirely right now in no longer airing vignettes on iMPACT!.

After The Brian Kendrick defeated Super Crazy with The Kendrick maneuver, his brutally powerful associate chokeslammed Super Crazy to the canvas using just one hand.
There are rumblings in TNA that the company may be eliminating a handful of talent in the coming weeks. We haven't heard any names in particular, but those wrestlers that request to be let go are more likely now to be granted his or her wish. Just recently, Johnny Devine requested his release, and it was granted.
TNA is looking to cut costs, and due to recent contract renewals of some higher paid talent, the company is now more open to the idea of cutting free some talent that TNA hasn't invested alot into. There is also talk backstage that wrestlers who havent't been receiving pushes or a lot of television time trying to get involved in the Young vs. Old angle.
Many of the wrestlers believe they need to be apart of this angle since they are likely to fall through the cracks, ala what happened to many workers in WCW when the New World Order angle dominated the direction of the promotion.
Tonight is a historic night for TNA Impact. While they have broadcasted a live episode of Impact in March from the Impact Zone, this is the first time that Impact has gone on the road. What will happen when Sting teams with Kevin Nash to face those young punks, A.J. Styles and the former Champion Samoa Joe? Will Jay Lethal put the title match that he earned in the Giant Red Birdcage at Bound for Glory to good use as he faces Sheik Abdul Bashir? Will Awesome Kong become a two time Womens champion when she faces Taylor Wilde? Which member of the team of Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, and Kip James will Christy Hemme face tonight? There is going to be a big announcement coming from Mick Foley that was teased at the end of last weeks show as Mick and Jeff started their Thelma and Louise-esque cross country journey. Over the last few weeks, we have tried to figure out two things about Booker T. The first thing is what is he trying to say and which dialect is he using. The second thing is what is in the briefcase that Sharmell has been holding and giving Booker to use. In case you missed the Monsters Ball Match at Bound for Glory, we have a rematch in a hardcore gauntlet that will see the entry determined by a fan text vote. All of this is going to bring us closer to the Turning Point pay per view in a little more than two weeks. We begin with a video package featuring wrestlers and a lot of rain. Over the six years of the company, things have grown until tonight where they are in Las Vegas. We are in HD tonight.
We are live from Las Vegas, Nevada and your announcers are Don HD West and Mike Home Sweet Home Tenay.

On the huge live "iMPACT!" from Las Vegas, Booker T unveiled the newest title in Total Nonstop Action, the TNA "Legends Championship".
According to Booker, he is introducing the gold as his own personal title, as it signifies the fanfare that is his and that he rightfully deserves (according to Booker!).
Booker's new title joins the TNA World Heavyweight Championship (currently held by Sting), the X Division Championship (held by Sheik Abdul Bashir), the TNA World Tag Team Championship (held by Beer Money, Inc) and the TNA Knockout Women's Championship (held by Awesome Kong).
Will Booker defend the gold against "The Instant Classic" Christian Cage at the "Turning Point" Pay-Per-View on Sunday, November 9? Cage made the challenge on the live broadcast, but in turn Booker said that if Cage lost, he would have to join The Main Event Mafia! However, Cage didn't respond - but just smiled and walked off! According to sources, Cage has promised to answer the open challenge next Thursday on "iMPACT!"
TNAwrestling.com is offering fans an up-close look at the new TNA "Legends Championship" with the below photos:
Cryme Tyme's Shad posted an explicit rant on his MySpace account regarding John Morrison and The Miz. Here is what he wrote: "Ok, I don't want to sound mad and I don't want to sound angry. So im going to say this as nice as possible. **** John Morrison! **** THE MIZ! These 2 jackasses are the most egotistical, arrogant dumb f*** I have ever met. This has gone from fun and games to some gangster shit. I'm not some gimmick wwe put o paper. I'm a real thug and will **** those 2 **** up in a heartbeat. Morrison is just mad that I took his girl back in the day when we were in OVW. And Miz you're just a bitch. B...I T..C..H. WHORAAA! BITCH!"
Mick Foley was featured in a lengthy interview conducted by Newsday.com blogger Alfonso Castillo. Foley talks about a number of topics, including Vince Russo, working with Sting again, whether he'd do commentary in TNA and more. Here are some highlights:
Does jumping to TNA hurt his WWE Hall of Fame chances? Foley said: "Ive had the advantage of having a lot of closure to my career," Foley said. "I had the book that kind of summed up all my experiences. And Im recognized and seemingly appreciated on a daily basis by fans. So Im not in need of healing, which is what the entry to the Hall of Fame seems to be for a lot of guys. So, although I would be flattered to one day be asked, in no way am I looking at inclusion in the WWE Hall of Fame as necessary to complete my career."
The stiff chairshot he took from Kurt Angle and being criticized for taking unnecessary risks. Foley said: "I didnt know that Kurt was going to be quite that angry," he said. "Thats probably Jeff Jarretts statement that I was the greatest acquisition in TNA history showing itself. But, you know, I can take a shot here and there. I guess, from what my kids said, my wife was a little concerned. But you know, hey, people are going to be critical of anything. Theres a certain number of people who are critical of anything that anybody does in wrestling. So Im pretty comfortable with that decision."
Nash turned down major WWE angle to stay in TNA Posted by Randy Gordon on 10/23/2008 at 03:48 PM
Source: DrKeithShow.com
Kevin Nash was interviewed by Dr. Keith Lopinski this week and said he was 99.9 percent sure he would return to WWE to finish up his career. However, his wife talked him into staying in TNA because of his age, physical condition, and the travel schedule.
Nash told Lipinski, "My wife looked at me and said, 'Why would you want to go back on the road when we live in Florida, you are ninety minutes away from work five days a month?"
Nash's wife, who sat in on the interview, added: "If you do go on the road it's only a couple days a month. You're home, you saved your money, you're beat up, I just can't see you going on the road being on the road and doing 12-14 days a month with say Batista or someone like that working every night. I don't see how you are going to last."
Nash says his wife pointed out that TNA wrestlers know his current limitations and they would take care of him in the ring, but it wouldn't be like that in WWE. Nash argued that he would have some big WrestleMania paydays in his future if he went back to WWE, but his wife replied that she was with him through five Manias and he was miserable throughout.
Nash had even spoken Shawn Michaels about a potential storyline they would work in WWE, but his wife intervened at that point. "I talked with Shawn and we were trying to work out some storyline things of what we wanted to do," he said. However, WWE wanted Nash to dye his hair and his wife said he would be the biggest sell-out of all-time if he did that. "I'm sure if I died my hair, I'd look younger, but at the same time if God intended me to have pigment in my hair, I'd have pigment in my hair. This is how I'm supposed to look. It's going to be gun metal gray in high definition."
Two fired WWE wrestlers getting another chance source: PWInsider.com
Following WWE's recent evaluation of Ohio Valley Wrestling talent, in addition to Gavin Garrison, the company has signed Chris Cage and Ryan "Ryback" Reeves to developmental contracts. Both individuals were former WWE developmental wrestlers. Cage was considered a strong prospect by WWE, and was close to being called up in a tag team with The Miz in spring 2006, but he was hospitalized following an incident at a spring break resort (where they were shooting vignettes) and he was let go from his contract. Reeves was dropped from his developmental contract during a massive purge of talent in January 2007. In the meantime, he didn't work too many wrestling shows other than some shots in Ohio Valley Wrestling in the past year. He is the first wrestler to be brought back with a strike on his record as he violated WWE's drug testing policy in the summer of 2006 -- and was suspended for 30 days as a result. The previous strike is still being held against him. For people unfamiliar with Reeves, he was a contestant in the Tough Enough contest held in late 2004.

Evan Bourne def. Mark Henry and Finlay (Triple Threat Match) (WATCH) (PHOTOS) In a battle pitting all three potential challengers for the ECW Championship at Cyber Sunday against each other, Mark Henry was firmly in control from the start. However, Finlay shook things up when he bashed Henry with his shillelagh. Evan Bourne capitalized by knocking Finlay to the canvas after leaping from the ropes. Then, with both the Belfast Brawler and Worlds Strongest Man down, Bourne took to the ropes again and hit Henry with a Shooting Star Press to pick up the biggest win of his career. Choose ECW Champion Matt Hardy's Cyber Sunday challenger.
Shad def. The Miz (Disqualification) (PHOTOS) Despite Shad's brute force and size advantage over The Miz, "The Dirt Sheet" host held his own against his "Word Up" nemesis. However, when The Mizs co-host, John Morrison, kicked Shad in the back, the referee immediately called for the bell and ruled the match a disqualification. "The Dirt Sheet" could face Word Up in a Cyber Sunday Tag Team Match if the WWE Universe chooses the encounter among three potential matches. Cast your Cyber Sunday vote.
