Today's News

Bill DeMott talks Seth's safety:

"I would not even try to compare my knowledge to Bret Hart nor would I question his thinking, that being said I do not think it is anything more than coincidence that all this happened around Seth. Rollins is one of the best there is and I would put my career in his hands any day. Things happen people get hurt and someone has to get "blamed" unfortunately it doesn't always end in favor of both participants but I would bet anything ALL of this men would get back in the ring with Seth and he is a professional as they get. He is the future of the business."

TNA TV's in trouble:

Dixie Carter promised that tonight's planned taping would go ahead, despite the hurricane bearing down on Florida right now, as long as Universal Studios stayed open. Problem is they are not.

Ziggler retiring?:

Dolph Ziggler is tweeting images of him saying goodbye to backstage friends, and tweeting booking info from October 10, the night after his retirement match against The Miz, and Ric Flair is also confirming he plans to move on after this weekend, and says he will not accept the backstage job WWE are offering.

I think everyone is protesting too much on this, the more they push the idea he may be retiring, the less I believe it will happen.
