First up, someone has a query on whether Goldberg is training to return to WWE. Not in the least. It is EXTREMELY unlikely that he'll ever be back in the company.
Christian has taken to Twitter to demand another World Title match, as videoed by WWE.com. Funny stuff.
Trish Stratus was also interviewed, discussing the Divas division. Good set up for the Night of Champions match.
After the break, I go into the rest of the day's news, starting with PWInsider.com's questions.
1. I don't know specifically how her face is, but she's wrestling regularly after taking some time off when it was injured, so I assume it's doing well. That's an interesting theory about why she's keeping it, since I was thinking it was because she had been "injured" and had to wear it as a result of that. Yes, similar to Cody Rhodes' storyline in WWE, but I was under the impression that she did legitimately need it for a while.
2. I'm taking their answer to mean that he's actually still employed by WWE, which is looking likely to be the case. As far as him returning to the company down the line, the two sides had a falling out when he left and he wasn't all too happy there at times, so the odds are indeed low. Especially if WWE is willing to pay him. As far as I know, he doesn't need money badly enough to work somewhere he doesn't want to.
3 is specific to them, so I'll move to 4. They've been using him in an angle with Eric Young and Rob Terry recently, so it looks like they're going to keep him on board for the time being.
5. Of course it's possible, but that would take effort. Since the show isn't on TV at present, it continues to be in limbo. I agree that it's generally a solid show and would benefit from additional attention from the company. If they don't care enough to promote it, why should the fans care enough to watch it? Here's an idea I cooked up for it once: It's its own brand, like ECW was. Meaning formerly Raw and Smackdown superstars can face off. It has its own GM, though it can be implied (like the announcers can just say that the GM made this match or whatever). It's something like FCW for the main roster in the sense that you're there when they don't have anything for you elsewhere. There's a champion for the show, though the main goal is for either Raw or Smackdown to sign you up (you're a "free agent" on the show). Sometimes Raw or Smackdown stars make special appearances. It's different from NXT in that you already have a WWE contract, and so on.
Anyway, moving on: Here's a neat little article about a former member of WWE Creative running an independent show. Well-written.
Charlie Haas shot down the idea of a return to WWE for himself and Shelton Benjamin in an article promoting an upcoming ROH show. I know Benjamin worked a dark match some time back, but both men are now under contract to ROH. I'd like to see them return, but I don't think it's in the cards anytime soon.
Recent WWE signees Antonio Cesaro (formerly ROH's Claudio Castagnoli), Corey Graves (formerly Sterling James Keenan), Jason Jordan (who I can't find any information on), and Leah West (Lance Storm student Irena Janjic) have all been added to the FCW roster page. I particularly look forward to seeing the first two in action given their backgrounds.
That's it for Saturday's news. More to come tomorrow, including a preview of Night of Champions. Thanks for reading!
