Steph selling up:

Tamina Snuka:

Tamina Snuka says she was inspired by The Rock's comments about her, and that joining him to make the movie Hercules was like returning to the ''Good Old days''.

if you missed what The Rock said about Tamina, here is a reminder...

"10 years ago my cousin, Sarona Snuka divorced, decided to go back to college to complete her education and be a great example for her two beautiful little girls she was raising - all while working as a janitor. Today, she's one of the WWE's most successful Divas, a proud (and hot;) single mom who will be making her big screen debut w/ me in HERCULES and more importantly, a shining example to women of all ages around the world that thru endless hard work you can achieve anything when you make up your mind to achieve it.''

Where Are They Now?:

WWE catches up with Ernest The Cat Miller this month.

Dusty Rhodes:

WWE are reporting that the Hall Of Famer has a broken jaw following the assault at the hands of the Big Show this past Monday.

JR:

WWE are in talks with Jim Ross over his severance payment.

Ted DiBiase Jr.:

Ted DiBiase Jr. will wrestle for the first time since quitting WWE in New York for FWE vs Colt Cabana on October 12, this is under the usual 90 day no compete clause WWE usually implement, probably because they believed his story that he wanted to quit wrestling to concentrate on being a parent and his new job.

Personally I am glad he is keeping his hand in, even as a weekend warrior on the indy circuit.

Hulk Hogan leaving TNA?:

Hulk Hogan's contract is ending soon, and it looks like he may be on his way, communication with Dixie Carter is said to be non existent right now, following the release of Brooke, his daughter. Hogan was furious with the way it was handled, feeling he should have been given prior notice, so he could have given her the news.

TNA are also hot with him for accepting a spot in the new WWE video game, feeling it was a slap in the face of them and their fans.

Eric Bischoff is said to be mediating between the two, but the writing is on the wall, and TNA fans may be seeing the end of the Hall Of Famer's time with them.

RVD:

Rob Van Dam will be written out of the stories in late October, somewhere between BattleGround and Hell In A Cell.

CM Punk:

CM Punk has been written out of the stories to deal with knee and ankle injuries he has been suffering with for several weeks. There is some talk that WWE are concerned with his injury proneness and are in two minds whether or not to renew his contract when it expires next Summer.

Axing Punk would be retarded IMO.

HHH talks taking over from Vince:

"Vince used to joke with me and say, 'When are you going to stop rolling around in the dirt and come and do some real work at the office?' and that eventually became, 'I want you to be in this position when I can't do this anymore,' which was the most flattering thing anybody could say me because he was the guy that created all of this."

Sheamus:

Is back in the USA for a fan convention this weekend.

Bully Ray talks how long he has left:

"I don't have any vices, I don't have any addictions except for chicks, so that keeps me nice and healthy. Yes, I have taken a pounding... but I'm still going strong, and because I've taken such great care of myself right now, it what allows me to keep going out there at a high level and continue to entertain all over the world."

Hacksaw Jim Duggan talks never winning a title for WWE:

"I was never WWE heavyweight champion or world champion or tag team champion but I was always kind of the peoples' champion - I always seem to relate good to the folks''.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...

Should WWE drop CM Punk because of his injuries, or is he too important???
