Bischoff warns Elite:

Eric Bischoff says Cody and the Bucks should be careful if they do start their own promotion...

"They're in a zone right now. It doesn't come easily, it doesn't come often but they're there. Be smart, go slow, don't let it go to your head, trust me. Go slow and always surround yourself with people you absolutely trust."

New live ring announcer:

Vince McMahon worked the live circuit this week. It was an MSG live, and he was announcing John Cena for a match, but is still counts.

Impact have new attitude:

Don Callis has teased an attitude era is coming for Impact...

"This week we announced our move from Pop TV which was a great partner for us. A lot of fans thought, 'Wow, you guys should be on a different network with a different demographic' so we announced this week we're moving to Pursuit which is an exciting thing for me. When you talk about how you deal with your content as a company because our parent company Anthem owns not only the Fight Network and Game TV, they also own a significant stake in Pursuit. It's a great strategic move for us, and I think people are going to love to see a sexier, edgier, maybe even a little more hardcore IMPACT Wrestling. I'm really, really pumped about that."

Enzo reveals why he pulled Survivor Series stunt:

"Why did I do it? It had nothing to do with my music. I'll tell you why I did it. Because I knew for a fact that Vince McMahon would hate it more than anything in the world, but he would respect the f--k out of it. That's why I did it. Because it was about one person, and that was it. Because I proved to him that I could beat him at his own game of statistics and numbers, and this & that & the other, and I don't even work for your company. I broke no laws, I bought a ticket and with that said, I did purchase my ticket. ... $2,500. My name was on the ticket, they could've found me."

Vince / Trish 2:

Remember those angles between Vince and Trish Stratus? Well prepare for a sequel... Vince is very high on Trish look-a-like, Mandy Rose, and is planning on pushing her to the top in 2019, even if he has to get involved in her angles himself.
