Hall Of Famer open to WWE dream match:

Impact HOF'er Gail Kim says she would consider a WWE return to face Charlotte Flair...

"I will say never say never. Number two, my loyalty is always with Impact Wrestling to tell you the truth. But never say never, and if that was the case, if I ever had to or did go back and get that opportunity, I would be myself. Because at this point you have nothing to lose, it's like whatever. If you can't accept me for who I am, f*ck it."

Online feud:

Randy Orton called Bubba Ray Dudley an out of shape vet on Twitter today. It is a renewal of their real life feud going back to Orton missing a match because, he says, Bubba broke his foot. Orton has been ranting on indie wrestling for the past couple of days and wasn't happy that Dudley took the side of the indie stars.

The furore over the comments even drew a rare wrestling related comment from CM Punk, who also took the side of indie men.

WWE deletion:

Simon Gotch has revealed Matt Hardy gave Chris Jericho a copy of final deletion before it aired, and he put on a showing for the WWE locker room...

"Chris Jericho had actually been given an advanced copy of it because Matt had done his podcast and he gave him a copy of it. So when we were over in Japan for a couple days, he was showing it to us. He was telling us that this video's insane, it's insane, it's insane, it's insane. So we had a viewing and Cena sees everybody laughing and asks what's going on. And we were like, 'Oh, we're watching this Matt Hardy video.' And he asked how it was. I said, 'Try and imagine the worst thing you've ever seen WWE do. Then imagine if somehow it was good.' And he looks at me for a second and he goes, 'I don't want to come in halfway. Please tell me when it is over. I would like to watch it.' So it finishes and we're all dying laughing because it's just the most insane thing anyone's ever seen. I actually brought it up to Chris and found out he ended up bringing it up to Matt at Mania. If you watch the video when he lights the fire, Matt actually gets engulfed in a ball of flame for a second. If you watch it closely when he throws the fire down, pay attention to Matt. Don't look at Jeff, don't look at the fire. Look at Matt. The fire comes up and engulfs him. And he was like, 'Yeah! No one noticed that! We were doing it, it took all day and we were losing the gasoline. They were like you just gotta go, just do it. And we just went and did it. It got all over me!' And so it was just one of those where it was just a complete accident, but apparently not a lot of people noticed it. I came back in later, Cena was watching the video, he looked at me and said, 'You are absolutely right.'"
