Jimmy Yang has still not been paid by TNA for his June appearance. He wouldn't have to be unprofessional if they paid him, now would he?

Here's a rundown of what's on the upcoming Randy Orton DVD.

PWInsider.com has some new questions up today:
1. In addition to what they said, that would be potentially great for the cities they hit both times, but the somewhat smaller cities they wouldn't risk that on wouldn't be as pleased. I don't see them running Greensboro, NC two nights in a row, so it'd be skipped altogether except for house shows. That would suck.

2. I detailed my pitch in my Summerslam preview. I think they definitely can go somewhere with the division. Them getting longer TV matches would help them out, but there's only so much space on the main shows. A number of them seem to be improving, but the tree's falling with no one around to hear it so to speak. Catching Superstars and house shows would be the best bets to see what the women can do. Goldust is working with them behind the scenes, so I think we could be in for some better matches from some of them.

There's nothing to add to #3, so after the break I'll look into a recent publicity stunt and everything else on the docket for the day.
4. My guess is that they were trying to make some buzz, like with every other off-the-wall angle... actually, given that this is Japan we're talking about there's no telling. Every wrestling promotion is looking to keep their audience coming back to see what they put on, so maybe that's your answer. WWE might as well throw away all of their advances in culture the last however many years if they did something that ridiculous. It'd get people talking, but not necessarily saying what WWE wants.


5. When something's going well, the performers get the credit. When it's going poorly, bookers get the blame. It should be more even I think, though it's a case-by-case basis.

The former Generation Me received tryouts with WWE before Raw as the company looks to rebuild its tag team division. That's perfect! They can get squashed by Otunga and McGillicutty on Superstars. I seriously don't want to see them there.

The following contains spoilers for a TNA angle:
Eric Young tweeted that he'll be having a match with Scott Baio on Impact Wrestling in a few weeks. Baio confirmed it. That'll be either funny in a trainwreck sense, or make me feel bad about watching the show.

TNA has revealed the poster for Bound For Glory. I didn't expect that background, but the stars aren't as surprising.

John Cena had a "soapbox moment" on Twitter talking about his character's direction and alignment. It wouldn't surprise me if that was part of his storyline being played up.

WWE got some unanticipated publicity from the angle involving John Cena and Alberto Del Rio when TMZ.com discovered that a mouse ran across the ramp near the end of Raw.

A John Cena friend and Wild Samoan descendant is pitching a match at WrestleMania with a rival of his, possibly in a steel cage. That'd be potentially interesting, but I'm not sure how good of an idea it'd be. If they could tell a good story in there and draw money, then I might be ok with it.

Johnny Swinger, known briefly in WWE as Johnny Parisi, recently detailed a pitch he made about wrestling in both the male and female division. Why do I get the feeling TNA would have done it? I don't think the world's ready for that kind of thing.

In a picture I'm sure will draw plenty of comments, Randy Orton hugged Barney the dinosaur.

Santino Marella talked about his action figure and more recently. He's right about improving as a serious wrestler.

Rey Mysterio promoted last night's Raw in San Diego via radio appearance.

R-Truth talked about the conspiracies surrounding his character in WWE 12. Funny listen.

Richie Steamboat had his car broken into recently. Very sorry to hear that.

Randy Orton made a TV appearance to promote the 8/16 Smackdown taping. Cool.

The always insightful Dutch Mantell was interviewed on IWantWrestling.

Raw did a 3.29 on Monday, topping 5 million viewers. However, hour 1 did higher than hour 2. It's tough to grab all the curious casual fans.

Cameron Lynn and Caylee Turner (Alicia Fox's sister) have returned to the FCW roster page. Both have been used there recently.

WWE's looking to trademark the phrases "Future Endeavored", "Future Endeavor" and "Mr. Future Endeavor", presumably in conjunction with Johnny Ace's on-screen appearances. For those who don't get the reference, WWE's standard response to a released talent on their website wishes said talent "the best in their future endeavors".

That's all for Tuesday's news. More to come tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
