SmackDown Cancelled:
Next weeks WWE TV taping of SmackDown will not occur, due to the American wildfires, instead they will shoot SmackDown at the same time as Raw. WWE have promised to make any money that is not claimed back by fans, plus $10,000 from them, available to the relief and emergency fund.
WWE returns:
Rey Mysterio and Mark Henry's returns may be held off until Raw 1000 in 3 weeks.
Bruno Sammartino / Hall Of Fame:
Another twist in the Bruno to Hall Of Fame story, his people have come out with another statement from the iconic grappler. He feels some have wrongly drawn the conclusion that Triple H offended him during their discussions over the HOF, his advisors say...
''It has come to our attention that someone has claimed that Bruno was unimpressed with Triple H. That is an absolutely false statement Bruno had no issue what so ever with Triple H. He liked Triple H and enjoyed their conversation but for reasons personal to Bruno he has decided not to accept the induction in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM IS THE REFUSAL A REFLECTION ON TRIPLE H or his presentation or conversations with Bruno.''
This leaves the door open to future induction once Vince McMahon is out of the way, and Triple H takes full control of WWE.
Highlights from a telephone interview he did with PWI Elite...
* Sammartino said Triple H was a gentleman, impressed him and they talked for a while. Triple H wanted to open communication because he was aware of the bad relationship between Vince and Bruno. Triple H figured Sammartino being inducted in the NY/NJ area would be good for the fans.
* Bruno mentioned that Triple H cited Madison Square Garden as a possible location for the ceremony.
* Bruno turned down the invite because he has issues with WWE and wouldn’t feel right going into the Hall. Sammartino said he appreciated everything Triple H and WWE offered but in good conscience, he could not do it.
* Bruno brought up WWE not having a physical building for their Hall of Fame and the fact that they have non-wrestlers inducted.
* Regarding a future relationship with WWE, Bruno said there is no interest and as long as Vince McMahon is in the company, he doesn’t think anything will happen between the two sides.
* Sammartino believes Triple H wants to do the right things for the business. Triple H told him that he respects the wrestling of yesteryear’s and was trying to move away from some of the more racier stuff we’ve seen.
WWE censored:
The theme of new tag team The Prime Time Playa's, included a line ''Shakin' like Parkinson's'', leading to offence to sufferers of the condition, so WWE has decided to mute the sound, during that lyric.
They also censored a match on their vintage channel, Finlay vs Psychosis, during the match Finlay (who was in a feud with Chris at the time) kept challenging, and calling out to Chris Benoit, they muted the sound and went so far as to digitally cover up his mouth, to hide what he was saying.
