Total Pageviews

Saturday, December 3, 2011

Knockout's contract up, Booker returns to the ring, Bourne update, Questions on Diva and Knockout storylines, Cena turning heel, and Neal/Toxxin in TNA, more on TNA's India project, Slammy commercial, Piper interview, Khali does WWE promo work, Cena's Zubaz pants covered, Foley interview, and the Impact Wrestling rating

This one apparently slipped through the cracks recently: Jackie Moore's TNA contract is officially up and there's been no word of her re-signing. She is, however, still on the roster page.

Booker T. is working against Cody Rhodes on Smackdown house shows. Obviously they're headed for a feud on TV. I think he might still be able to "go".

Evan Bourne is back doing promotional work and house shows for WWE, so expect him on TV again soon.

For Friday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Presumably they're building towards Kaitlyn turning heel and perhaps AJ teaming with Alicia. As for why the Divas of Doom backed off, maybe they felt that they had made their point?

Nothing to add to 2, as it was just recently asked. For 3, I actually thought that match was rather dismal. I expect Gail to win and the feud to continue. I'd like the Knockouts division to keep in a positive direction as well.

After the break, I look at the rest of the day's news and the other PWInsider.com questions, starting with whether it's possible that John Cena turns heel at WrestleMania.

4. Of course it's possible. Why wouldn't it be? Likely would be another story, but pretty much anything's possible.

5. They're both in TNA, and it looks like they'll stay there. It was a monetary issue that seems to be worked out.

While there are still no names confirmed, TNA will be taping footage for their Indian promotion the week of 12/15. Should be interesting to follow (I'll have notes on it similar to FCW).

Here's the commercial for the 3-hour edition of the Slammy Awards on 12/12.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper did an interview with The Score. Great storyteller. I really recommend listening to this one. He should be a guest lecturer at FCW and/or a WWE agent.

The Great Khali did promo work for WWE in India in relation to a card game. I'm not really sure on his contract status, but he's on good terms with the company and is expected back in the fold at some point. No timetable, however.

An NFL blog covered John Cena wearing '49ers Zubaz pants in Japan.

Mick Foley was interviewed by the AV Club. Good little read.

Impact Wrestling got a 1.16 for its most recent edition. Hopefully future numbers are higher, because that was a lot better than the previous week's edition.

That's all for Friday's news. Today's is coming up in a few hours. Thanks for reading!
