Chavo Guerrero vs Indy league:

Chavo Guerrero has responded to criticism after he was pulled from a Canadian tour...

“I will not be appearing @NSPW on Oct 6 due to them not honoring their contract. They decided last min that they wanted to tape & sell DVD’s Of me & that was never discussed. That is of course illegal to film & distribute w/out permission. I’m sorry to ppl who have already paid But that is completely on @NSPW plz don’t blame me. I’m still willing to hold up my end of the deal. Plz take your complaints to @NSPW”

They responded...

“Due to TNA deciding that their talent cant appear on indy feds’ dvd, we hav no choice but to cancel Chavo Guerrero’s appearance on Oct. 6th. Mr. Guerrero’s claim that we decided last minute to tape and sell dvds is incorrect has we have done dvds of all of our shows. It is just not possible to cover the cost without dvds of the event. Never in the past has this been an issue with any guests. NSPW finds the situation and the decision made by TNA to prevent talent from appearing on dvds to be unfortunate. NSPW doesn’t hold anything against Mr Guerrero and wishes him nothing but the best with TNA Wrestling. A suitable replacement for our Main Event will be announced tonight!”

WWE to TNA:

Jillian Hall and Andy Leavine were backstage at Impact last night, Jillian wrestled Tara in the pre show. No word on TNA's plans regarding contract offers yet.

Abdullah The Butcher:

Has been confined to a wheelchair due to a hip injury. He has also still not proved he is clear of Hep C, in relation to his court case against an Indy star who claims he contracted the disease from him, which cost him a WWE contract.

Devon Nicholson has however been accepted onto a course of drugs which could cure him of the condition.

Shaul Guerrero:

Shaul (Daughter of Eddie and Vickie Guerrero) is said to have asked for and was granted her release from WWE yesterday, still no word from WWE, Shaul or her Mother confirming this yet, or providing a reason why she walked from what was expected to be a promising in ring career.

She was not the only diva dropped yesterday, Skyler Moon has entered WWE rehab, which explains why her profile was deleted from the NXT website a couple of weeks ago, she has probably ruined any chances of a WWE career, though again their is no word yet from WWE.

John Morrison:

Has landed a movie role with Danny Trejo, and is said to be working extremely hard to make contacts and get noticed in Hollywood, he is also showing no interest in returning to WWE.

He is still in a relationship with Melina, who was injured (Torn Calf) at her last wrestling meet, and is confined to management at the minute.

New Cena:

John Cena's recent injuries have woken WWE up to the news that they need a new ''Face'' of the company, early favourites are CM Punk, but even as a super face he was never universally liked enough to be considered the one, and Sheamus, who Triple H is firmly behind, but he is the same age as Cena and WWE want someone to lead the company long term, so would ideally want someone aged 25 tops.

WWE close in on Flair:

WWE.Com has an article on their website, which hints at Dolph and Vickie Guerrero separating, this would leave him free for Ric Flair to become his new manager.

OVW star quits:

Kenny Bolin wrote this letter to explain why he couldn't continue with the TNA developmental group...

“I do want to thank all the fans, wrestlers and Staff at OVW last night for really making me feel like a KING ! i have never felt so special and loved in all my life. I have been inducted into the OVW hall of fame which only has 5 members but when Danny Davis, AL Snow, Frank Miller and my Long time Broadcast partner Dean Hill voted to have the world wide known “Gorilla Position” renamed the “Bolin Position” (the entrance area near the curtain) at Davis arena and all OVW shows from this day forward. I nearly broke down when Dean presented me with this honor at the End of the TV taping. the be mentioned in the same breath as Gorilla Monsoon is more than i could ever live up to. i could have never expected such a tribute to my name while i was still living. this was better than having a park named after me in La Grange Ky. “hint, hint” LOL I love you all at OVW and my friends and fans and i truly hope i get to return one day. OVW will always be a part of my life!
Kenny Bolin.”

WWE pull DVD:

After being criticised for their Attitude era, WWE have decided to withdraw the release of a retrospective DVD remembering the era.

Wrestler assaults fan:

Indy star Adam Gooch attacked a fan in the street after a show this week in Illinois, he hit the fan in the back of the head and escaped in a silver car, driven by another male. The 24 year old fan was treated for a badly lacerated wound and was admitted to hospital. Police later caught Gooch and took him back to the town of the crime.

No word on what sparked the incident.

Kurt Angle:

In a TV appearance last night, he criticised new star King Mo for always being sore after training, said Batista would succeed in MMA because he had seen him legitimately KO people in real life fights whilst in WWE, and said if MMA were as big as it is now, he would have gone down that road, rather than sign for WWE.
