Any negotiations between Paul Heyman and TNA are now over after Dixie Carter refused to grant Heyman's demands.
Heyman ultimately wanted the power to make talent changes without her request, as well as calling for roughly $1 million in talent cuts, and $200,000 in indy/international talent additions. As part of his office team, Heyman also wanted to bring in former WWE creative team member Dave Lagana and Dragon Gate USA booker Gabe Sapolsky.
Heyman was also frustrated that his job description wasn't laid out in specific terms. He is unlikely to work with TNA in the future, even if offered the deal he was previously seeking, insisting he has moved on.
- The Wrestling Observer reports that if The Undertaker loses the Buried Alive match at Sunday's Bragging Rights, it is very likely that he will be taking time off for shoulder surgery. Taker is still suffering from a number of injury problems but his shoulder is the main problem right now and he needs surgery on it.

World Wrestling Entertainment officials had discussed releasing Matt Hardy from his contract weeks before it was officially granted last Friday. There were some in WWE who wanted Hardy gone as soon as he requested his walking papers, but the key factor preventing organization officials from letting him go was the belief that it would keep Jeff Hardy in TNA Wrestling longer than his current deal calls for. The argument was that with Linda McMahon nearing the end of her Senate campaign, WWE shouldn't employ a wrestler doing anything he could to get fired.
Those close to Hardy say he is definitely headed to TNA Wrestling. While those affiliated with the Orlando based organization have not been directly told he is coming in, most everyone broached on the subject expects it to occur.
There has already been discussion within TNA Wrestling of programming a Hardys vs. Beer Money, Inc. feud with the hope that it would elevate Robert Roode and James Storm. It is said that both Hardy brothers are very much aware of this possible scenario.
Meanwhile, Hardy's numerous attention seeking videos, such as a recent entry of him eating lunch with an unmasked Rey Mysterio, have not endeared him to the TNA locker room. Most in the TNA locker room weren't defending his behavior on the YouTube clips he put out and that is coming from people who were good friends with him back in their days with WWE.
It isn't known if Hardy is under the usual 90-day no compete clause following his release from WWE last Friday. So whether he is or not (he would be available in December if he is under the 90 days), the belief is that he is already TNA bound as noted above and it was a hot topic at the TNA house show events last week in Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois.
News regarding Daniel Bryan's new gimmick Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 10/20/2010 at 06:05 PM
Credit: F4WOnline.com
According to Dave Meltzer, it's possible we not have seen the last of Daniel Bryans new ladies man gimmick that he did on RAW this week. WWE may follow-up with portraying him as a bit of a geeky guy that women find attractive. This also allows Michael Cole to play along as he goes crazy on Bryan with women showing the United States Champion attention.
- Based on the success UFC has had promoting the upcoming Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez fight and the recent Rashad Evans vs. Rampage Jackson fight, WWE is strongly discussing UFC-style primetime hype shows for the top match or two at next years Wrestlemania 27.
- As of this week, WWE creative was under the impression that there is nothing in the works for Smackdown Diva Tiffany. Nothing has been discussed about bringing her back.
TMZ.com has yet another update in the ongoing feud between Jersey Shore star J-Woww and TNA Knockout Cookie. After J-Wowws appearance on last weeks episode of TNA iMPACT! culminated with a catfight between the two women, Cookie continued talking trash to TMZ about the Jersey shore star.
The latest is that TMZ sources close to J-Woww say, Cookie didnt even get one good punch in with her .. J-Woww would be down for a rematch with that trash.
J-Woww reportedly got paid $15,000 for last weeks appearance and the ongoing war of words has received a lot of coverage on TMZ ever since.
No word yet on how close J-Woww is to reaching a deal with TNA to wrestle Cookie, but the TMZ source sounds confident its going to happen.
Team 3D's return to TNA being questioned? Credit: PWTorch.com
There was said to be much head shaking over TNA Wrestling re-signing Team 3D to new contracts. While Brother Devon is quite popular in the locker room and Brother Ray is considered good in a backstage role, many feel there is no money to be made in bringing the two back as a tag team, let alone as singles competitors.
They shouldnt have been re-signed, said one company source. No one (in management) gets it.
To clarify, a number of people in management didnt want them re-signed, but TNA president Dixie Carter felt otherwise as it is said that she really wanted to bring the duo back.
