Storm vs Impact:

James Storm says he does not care if he has upset the new Impact bosses by leaving...

"Hey, I left - who cares if there's heat? No, it's just one of those things. I just grabbed the microphone because, like, if I'm going out, I'm going out the way that I want to. I'd do the match however they wanted, but at the end of the day, when I grabbed that microphone and said what I had to say, it was from the heart. And being on the road so long, I wanted to say to my wife and my kids, 'hey, I'm coming home for a little while and daddy gets to spend time with you because I'm taking time off, letting my body heal, and then go back at it.' And also, like I said, Dixie Carter, Jeff Jarrett, and Bob Ryder, without those guys, a lot of the guys you know now wouldn't be around and they gave us a platform."

D-Bry back in the ring next year:

WWE are planning a long burn feud between Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon, which, if Bryan can convince WWE doctor Joseph Maroon of his good health, will culminate next Summer at SummerSlam 2018. He will not be a full timer again, but it may not be a one off match.

WWE have made it clear to him that they will only accept the decision of their own doctor, no-one else.

Ric Flair recalls taking ill:

"I got a really sharp pain in my stomach. I knew the pain. That was very similar to the pain I had the last time. Wendy took me to the hospital and my intestine had broken open and that's the last thing I remember. I don't remember anything else. On Monday they put me in an induced coma. I stayed in that and on life support for 11 days. I don't remember any of it. I just dreamt... I had to learn how to walk again. I couldn't walk. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't twist the top off a Gatorade bottle or open a diet coke I lost forty-three pounds."

Impact legend recalls WWE snub:

Angelina Love talks the debut that never happened...

"I was literally sitting, planted in the crowd, with my debut segment on SmackDown next, and I got pulled. My segment got completely cut out, and the people I was supposed to work with went straight into a completely different storyline. In 2006, there were talks about doing something with JBL, but that never happened. Then I had gone back up to SmackDown in August of that year, to do something with Matt Hardy. I remember they had me in the front row in the crowd. The first segment was Booker T, when he was King Booker, knighting Finlay and Regal. The next segment was Matt Hardysupposed to go over Psicosis or Super Crazy, he was supposed to go over one of them. I was standing there, so happy and clapping, and he would [come over] and say, 'who's this blonde girl?', and eventually I would end up being his girlfriend. We're like minutes, if not less, of my segment starting, and the guy, the floor manager who planted me, patted me on the shoulder, pulled me over and said 'your segment got cut.' I was told that as soon as the show started, Vince rewrote the whole show."
