Brooke:
Miss Tessmacher, former WWE and current TNA star, has aired her opinions on WWE's women's division...
She was asked on Twitter if she would go back to WWE, she replied...
“Why would I want to go back to wwe where they have 3 min matches that typically have no meaning. The women aren’t utilized to the potential they bring. They aren’t cared about or a priority.”
After getting heat from WWE workers and fans, she clarified her statement...
“Let me clear this up. My comment that was said of the WWE Divas was not to discredit the girls in any way. They are all spectacular and tremendous athletes. My opinion is based on the fact I strongly feel they are not used to their own capabilities and talents. I do think if they were believed in more as the Knockouts where from the company they work for they could showcase themselves better as all around athletes and not just a character or gimmick. I do believe the Knockouts division is the best in the bis and we are used to our potential. At Impact Wrestling women’s wrestling does matter!”
WWE are said to be excited for the future of the women's division, with Eddie and Vickie Guerrero's daughter Raquel Diaz, British Wrestler Paige, new Signing Natalie, impressing and the addition of Sara Del Rey, they think the future is bright.
Personal Note... Mickie James, and Sarita may disagree with Brooke, they have not been used since April and are having to work the Indy's, to stay active and earn their $.
Eugene:
Nick Dinsmore has thanked TNA and their fans for his trial match...
“I would like thank @IMPACTWRESTLING for giving me the opportunity to wrestle a dark match last night in front of the TNA Impact Zone fans,”.
TNA may be his only option, WWE have been getting heat for his character in the press this week, and that may kill his chances of going back as his previous character.

Kenny Dykstra:
Says CM Punk is not the Best In The World, he would give the tag to The Rock, who he says can draw and talk, but not wrestle or Triple H
who in his opinion can Draw, and work, but he doesn't like his mike work. He also said he would have picked Austin, as the winner, but he is not active, so did not count him.
Sunny:
It has emerged that Sunny was entered into WWE rehab ''After consuming a dangerous amount of vodka'' last weekend.
Triple H:
Has ended the speculation about the future of Randy Orton, he says he will return to WWE when his ban ends, but will not be at Raw 1000 in his home town of St. Louis, unless he buys a ticket...
“It is important to remember that all of our wrestlers are human but they also have to be accountable,”
He also hinted that WWE's struggle to find talent is the reason, he was not shown the door...
“We’re trying to teach them to be the Stone Colds and the Undertakers of tomorrow, but the one thing we can’t teach is charisma,” said Levesque. “You can teach people to do moves and create story lines and the psychology of what we do, but you can’t teach someone to be the Rock. It’s an innate ability to walk into a room and have everyone pay attention. Put aside the athleticism and what happens in the ring, what our business is really about is connecting with people emotionally. If you are emotionally connected to your character, then people will want to see you. It’s true in Hollywood and movies. You don’t have to be the best actor, just be a presence.”
He ended by saying WWE invented reality TV.

Raven on the “Wind Beneath My Wings” segment with Steve Austin...
“I absolutely loved being a part of that. it was so cheesy. I had so much fun. You’ve got to give props to Stephanie McMahon for going out there and making a total fool of herself. We were all so out of tune. It was fantastic.”
