Query on ICP-TNA, more on top indie names potentially going to WWE, TNA-Orlando update, WWE represented at World Series, more on WWE's TV rights situation, Andre's home for sale, Boogeyman frightens, Interview with Bad Influence + Bully Ray, former ring announcer to wrestle? and Questions on the post-Bischoff era, Ted Turner, Bryan as WWE Champ and best wrestling crowds

First up, a query:
1. While I suppose it's always possible for ICP to return to TNA (or for any active wrestling personalities to return to any company for that matter), I haven't seen any indication that they're TNA-bound.

Former ROH World Champion Davey Richards teased that he and Eddie Edwards are headed to WWE. That's big news for both guys if it plays out.

TNA will be taping at a different sound stage from the original Impact Zone - Soundstage 19 instead of Soundstage 21. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

John Cena presented the Boston Red Sox' David Ortiz with a replica WWE Championship following the Sox winning the World Series. That's pretty cool.

Update: Here's a photo.

Forbes.com analyzed the potential for WWE getting more favorable contracts for their TV deals. Sounds good for them.

Andre the Giant's old home in NC is for sale. I've never been to Ellerbe. Maybe I'll visit someday...

The Boogeyman scared people for Halloween. That's pretty good.

Here's a piece on TNA's Bad Influence, featuring quotes from the duo as well as Bully Ray. They're certainly one of the more entertaining parts of the company. I wouldn't say they're a top team in wrestling, though, since they're in a smaller league than WWE.

Cody Rhodes' wife, formerly known as Eden Stiles, will soon begin training to be a WWE Diva. I'm OK with this. I hope they don't rush her to TV.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It should be noted that Eric Bischoff hasn't been officially dropped from TNA, just sent home. Garett only has one A in his name, by the way. As for the question, it's known that TNA will be distancing itself from Aces and Eights going forward - that doesn't seem to bode well for Garett or Knux. However, both are still employed for now.

2. Turner's 74 (older than Vince McMahon) and hasn't really done anything major lately. I don't see him making any big moves at this stage of the game.

3. Bryan's 32. He still has time to be a big deal, if not the focal point, of WWE.

Nothing to add to 4 or 5.

6. Whichever crowd pays the most and doesn't try to get themselves over at the expense of the wrestlers they pay to see.

More wrestling tomorrow.
