There was some TNA drama, which caused the authorities to be called yesterday in Columbia, SC. Jeremy Borash posted on Twitter that he would be at a location near their venue, with a mystery guest to give away backstage passes to fans. Shannon Moore was to be the guest, and both Moore and Jeff hardy posted the info on their Twitter accounts. With Hardy having over 100,000 followers, and Moore having over 37,000, a stampede of fans rushed to the location, which was a parking lot in front of a Dollar General store.

Once the fans started to arrive, the manager of the store called the local police. When the police arrived, the TNA crew had already left the venue. When they found out about the drama they caused, TNA sent over sent tickets and backstage passes to the store as a way to make up for the trouble.

Some people in TNA loved the idea, as they felt it generates buzz for local events and provides another way to interact with the fans.

Last night, former WWE star Charlie Haas posted the following on his Twitter account: "WWE creative is a joke. Way to kill off Daniel Bryan. Your brightest youngest star. Michael Hayes must have written this sh*t. Please retire

There is great talent in WWE, they just don't know how or refuse to write for them all.

When the Monday night wars were going on, everyone on the roster had a story line. From Crash Holly to Stone Cold. Its an easy formula

Look at ROH everyone on the roster has a story line and is used. Not to be biased, but facts are facts.

Every wrestler is unique and brings something to the table, that is what is great about the pro wrestling business.

I'm not done. But am done talking about WWE creative. New chapter. A lot to be thankful for. I am thankful for WWE time and the WWE fans.

All Japan, ROH, JAP, NWA, Perros del Mal, and WGTT tour in France. What a way to finish the year. And a chance to work with Lagana and Corny."

Bruce Prichard, a former WWE talent and office staff member, has joined TNA’s production staff. He was on hand at a TNA agent meeting held in Orlando earlier today.

Prichard has been out of wrestling since December 2008 and was a key member of Vince McMahon’s inner circle during his time in WWE. The decision to release him came from Stephanie McMahon because she felt it was time for him to move on, a decision her father mutually agreed with. Prichard was with WWE for 22 years.

A crazy story from Butler, IN, is that a woman, Nanette Stone, 35, is facing a potential prison term for fraud, as she claimed to be the wife of pro wrestler David Edward (Fit) Finlay when purchasing two pieces of property on Prine Canyon Lake. Sheriff Department deputies issued a warrant for her arrest after speaking with Finlay, who claimed he did not know the woman. Stone, using the name Nanette Michelle Finlay, had meetings with real estate agents and would hand the phone to a man who would claim to be Finlay and say he had an emergency come up and couldn’t be present. In July, she wrote a down payment check for $4,838 for one of the homes that was drawn on a closed account. She pleaded guilty this past week of two counts of felony forgery, and faces a maximum 16 years in prison. I wonder if anyone asked her while this was going on if she was Hornswoggle’s mom.

HollywoodLife.com reports that WWE is negotiating with Justin Bieber about singing "America the Beautiful" at WrestleMania 27.

Here is the article:

Justin Bieber might not want to get in the ring with spandex wearing hunks like Randy Orton, The Miz and John Cena, but the 16-year old star’s singing pipes might get him in their grasps regardless. WrestleMania — the annual Super Bowl of wrestling — returns for its 27th incarnation in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA in 2011 and a consistent fixture is to start off the festivities with a rousing rendition of America The Beautiful!

An insider tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that WWE is trying to get younger viewers and that they’re out to get the Biebs on board.

“It is so perfect! To have Justin perform in front of 70,000 plus people would just be amazing! It is so perfect”, our source says. “It’s still a work in progress but it would be a lot of fun.”

We totally agree, and if Justin wanted to add to his fun night, he could easily ask his friend Kim Kardashian how to handle things backstage with the fellow wrestlers — she was the official host of WrestleMania 24 back in 2008!







Hopefully Bieber will have killed himself by Wrestlemania 27

The addition of Michael Cole to the Smackdown announce team is a result of Vince McMahon's current unhappiness with Todd Grisham. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter added that McMahon cut one of his "famous Vince promos on an announcer" backstage in front of a lot of people and put Cole on the debut episode of Smackdown on Syfy saying it was an important show and he wasn't getting the job done. The impression many got was that halfway through the show McMahon became unhappy with Grisham's commentary and sent Cole out to join them. Cole was again on commentary this week and it is expected to remain a three man team until further notice.

Another WWE tag team has broken up as Curt Hawkins beat down his partner Vance Archer on Thursday night's WWE Superstars broadcast. Archer had just lost a match to Chris Masters. At a time when it appears WWE is re-building it's tag team division, they also are planning on splitting up The Hart Dynasty.

WWE have Vicky Skeeles, the British girl they signed 2 weeks ago, doing announcing in FCW under the name 'Verity Thomas'. The first footage of her is on the Diva-Dirt site here:

According to a source, Sting is "expected to be gone" from TNA Wrestling following this week's set of television tapings, which were completed yesterday in Orlando, Florida.

The multi-time champion is limited by an injury to his shoulder and has not signed a new contract, so he's only committed to the organization until the end of the year. There was talk this week that he would be taking time off from this point forward.

Backstage sources in WWE have told WrestleZone that WWE management is very high on Justin Gabriel, not only for his in-ring ability but also for the way he's been handling backstage politics.
Gabriel found himself on the wrong side of a lot of what was described as "veterans baiting him" because of his off-camera relationship with WWE Diva Kelly Kelly.
"A few years ago, CM Punk was dating Maria Kanellis," a Monday Night Raw wrestler told us, "HHH, Ric Flair, and some of the other veterans gave Maria a hard time about dating a guy they labeled an indy worker."
"Kelly's been through this before, but Justin is brand new to the business," the wrestler told us, "but he's handled it like a total pro, and it's won him a lot of points with the leaders of the locker room."
Justin Gabriel is a 2nd generation wrestler, and was trained by his father, Paul Lloyd Senior in South Africa.

WWE Hall Of Famer Bret "The Hitman" Hart recently took a few digs at some of TNA's top dogs in a recent interview with AOL Fanhouse. Hart said of Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan and Vince Russo, "After being in WCW and being around them, you start to realize that these guys -- Bischoff in particular -- never understood or knew anything about wrestling."
"They just struck me as guys that didn't understand wrestling. To see them working with another company now, to me, I think you'll eventually see that they don't know anything. They didn't know anything then and they don't know anything now. They're not going to make a difference anywhere they go."
"The Hitman" did show respect to some of TNA's top dogs that are active in the ring right now, such as AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Samoa Joe and Abyss. Hart commented, "I have a lot of respect for the young wrestlers there like AJ Styles and Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe, Abyss, different guys. I know they've got a lot of talent there and guys that I consider good friends of mine including RVD [Rob Van Dam]."
Hart concluded on the subject, again praising the young guys by mixing in an extra dig or two at the guys behind the shows. "I wish them all the best and I hope the younger stars get a chance to show what they've got rather than coming back to the old dinosaurs like Hulk Hogan or Eric Bischoff with the same old certain babble that he's been doing for 10 years when he'll babble about nothing. He somehow positions himself to be a star on the show and I think there's real stars that need to get that light and not him."

The Hartford Courant is noting in its blog section that Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz has warned Connecticut voters that they could be turned away from the polls for the upcoming Linda McMahon/Richard Blumenthal vote if they arrive wearing WWE branded clothing. Bysiewicz was quoted as saying, "Even though it doesn't say her name directly...the brand is so ubiquitously associated with the McMahons."

Ed Patru, a spokesman for the Linda McMahon campaign, immediately spoke out against this by saying, "There is absolutely nothing in the statute that prohibits someone from wearing an apolitical, nonpartisan piece of clothing to the polls. This opinion seems overtly partisan, and anytime the state starts arbitrarily denying citizens the right to vote, democracy itself is under attack. It's very, very troubling."

When Taker returned at Wrestlemania XX, the original plan was for him to enter a program with Brock afterwards where Brock was supposed to job to him. Brock refused. This was probably a pre-cursor to Brock leaving the WWE. I have no idea if there was heat between the two because of this incident but i presume it had something to do with it.

CoolHat

I think it has to be said that the undertaker is a pr*ck.

"do you wanna go?" after Lensar fight. Talk about picking on a guy when he is down.

Its been noted before that the undertaker thinks he is a legit hard man. While he is nothing more than a fake wrestler. Dont get me wrong I like wrestling. But there is a hell of a world of difference between wrestling and mma.
