dear god I hope not Last I heard/saw she had changed her look quite a bit, she took out her lip rings and cut her hair shorter.

Or playboy doesn't want any of the others that said they would.... Victoria has said she would do it numerous times......guess either the WWE or Playboy don't want her in it.

At this point, there appears to be little interest from WWE in Senshi, who is finishing up with TNA. If anything they would be willing to offer a developmental contract but given his connections in the independents and his ability to keep an active schedule with outside bookings it's extremely unlikely Senshi would take such a role as it may be considered a step back. He has a strong following in the US and overseas and to that end he is very well respected amongst his peers so leaving TNA doesn't hurt him as much as TNA would like to think it does. While it's been public knowledge that Killings and Senshi have asked and were granted their releases, their remains several other talents who have requested said releases but did so in a less public fashion. Right now TNA is doing what they can to keep the additional talent from leaving the company. Moral is low in the back and despite the rumors, while their are some that have a desire or interest in being brought into WWE, the truth remains that many will either be rejected or thrown into the Developmental System until they can wash off the Stigma of these talents being affiliated with TNA. It should be interesting though that a majority of those that addressed the issue on a more private forum, a great deal of them plan to work overseas or in Mexico and do not, despite internet rumors, expect to be immediately signed to WWE. There has been calls by talent to Tye Bailey and John Laurinitus however nothing to an extreme as people are led to believe on the net. Everyday WWE is contacted by someone in TNA or by an authorize rep of the talent to find out if they could be brought up. credit: wrestling observer newsletter WWE has been auditioning announcers for Smackdown. JBL has been itching to get back in the ring for some time now. - There are no plans for Rob Van Dam to return into the fold. He was flown on a private jet with Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff to Raw last week. RVD is not interested in working a full-time schedule at the present time. - WWE is considering Steve Corino for a producer/agent role in the company. - The plan heading into Armageddon was for Triple H to beat Jeff Hardy, but was apparently changed since it was pretty well known Trips was going over.

I don't think Atlas Dabone is even under WWE developmental contract.

Of all the stars from the past who made cameo appearances on Monday night's 15th Eaw Anniversary show, Tammy 'Sunny' Sytch looks to have the best chance of landing a job in World Wrestling Entertainment (besides the likes of Trish Stratus and Rob Van Dam obviously) Backstage at the show, Johnny Ace asked Sytch for her contact information. They talked with her about doing some segments with WWE 24/7. However it is not known at this time if they'd like her back as a member of the roster. wrestling observer newsletter

TNA is in negotiations with MMA star Bob Sapp, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. TNA has offered him an initial four-month deal, in which Sapp would be paid $2,500 per match. TNA wants Sapp to work a program with Kurt Angle, and then later with Samoa Joe. Sapp is paid about $35,000 per match for Hustle (he is under contract with Hustle for one year), and has received a seven figure offer from WWE. It appears WWE has been in talks with Sapp once again. Apparently, WWE and Sapp had serious talks a few months ago. There was talk that WWE would promote Sapp as a combined MMA/pro wrestling star. credit:gerweck.net I posted this in both because that note says the WWE is back on the Sapp wagon.

- The decision to use Eric Young in the main event at Turning Point due to Scott Hall no-showing the event was made by Jeff Jarrett as a last minute decision. - Speaking of Young getting the main event spot, apparently Samoa Joe suggested Homicide, but he was told that Homicide wasn't over enough or good enough for the spot. According to the story, Homicide heard about it and was really hot at management over it. - After TNA offered anyone unhappy their release, guys like Kurt Angle, Booker T, Earl Hebner, and Travis Tomko gave speeches about how most of the guys in WWE are miserable, and talked about the pressure and the politics of being in World Wrestling Entertainment. - Amazing Kong also gave a speech about being contacted by both WWE and TNA, and going with TNA since she believed WWE wasn't going to be the right fit for her. (source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter) There's something funny to me about guys the WWE fired saying it's miserable there...

I think Corino is trying to get an agent job...

Well Steph has this rep that she likes to go out of her way to look tough or "ruthless" like her dad, if this is one of those occasions she is just going to come off looking petty.

I'm pretty sure Mike Dibiase and Joe Hennig aren't signed but may be in the future.

Besides Low-Ki, Ron Killings also got his TNA release last week. They'd had a huge falling out around the time that Konnan left, and Killings went to work for him in AAA down in Mexico. They talked him into coming back for the Team Pacman angle, but after that was dropped they never did much of anything with him. He'll be returning to AAA, and the feeling is that if WWE wants him back he'll go. TNA claims that since they had to cancel their December dates in Mexico, they'll be rescheduling for April or early May of 2008. a few other talents are considering Dixie Carter's offer to leave TNA After losing her job as a host of a motorcross show, likely due to comments she made on the Howard Stern show, former TNA interviewer Leticia Cline sent a letter to Stern. Stern replied by asking the studio if anyone remembered her, and apparently nobody did even though she had just appeared on his show the previous week. Amazing Kong changed her ring name in TNA to Awesome Kong because TNA wanted her to sign over the right to her name. Prior to signing with TNA, she was approached by WWE, but TNA made her a concrete offer first. credit:F4W Newsletter

The Smackdown guys nearly crash-landed during the flying from Frankfurt, Germany to Zurich, Switzerland. They were going in for the landing and another plane popped up straight ahead of them on the runway ("out of nowhere") and the pilot was able to pull up and avoid it at the last moment. The wrestlers were said to be "white as ghosts" when they showed up at the hotel. In the Hogan/Linda divorce filings, Hogan claimed that the marriage ended in September of 2007. This would go against claims that they were effectively broken up months earlier and had to "play nice" during the filming of Hogan Knows Best. Of course, they could have had major problems up to that point and finally decided to break it off for good in September. The only other thing of note was that Hogan claimed they were married December 12, 1983, and she responded in her filing that she agreed with all of his claims except the date of the marriage Dave Kapoor, the creative team member who plays the translator for Great Khali, got screamed at Monday night. Even though everyone in the final segment on Raw pretty much broke kayfabe, apparently Stephanie felt Kapoor was having too much fun. As everybody was getting their stuff after the show she called him over and told him that it was very unprofessional, and intimated that if he didn't take "the job of a lifetime" seriously that might be it for him. She said someone on creative shouldn't be an on-screen character and she'd gone to bat for him, so he better not screw it up. He's only been watching WWE since 2003, so I can understand him doing something like that and not even thinking about it, particularly in a segment like the Austin beer bash where everyone was just having a good time. RVD on the Joe McDonnell Experience radio show said that WWE should not be testing for marijuana. You're stunned. He said when you think about things like anti-depressants or painkillers, weed should be the least of WWE's concerns. He said he'd started a production company, was working on a comic book, had a Rob TV project of some sort in the works (!), and was working on a new website. So no, there isn't a return to wrestling planned anytime in the future. He did say that he was currently going through "spiritual rehab", and that when the time is right he would be welcome to returning on a limited schedule. Wonder if that means TNA? He was asked if he ever had an issue with someone in the ring, and he said one time he had a match with Kurt Angle and Kurt felt that he'd disrespected him, and so afterwards they had heated words in the back before cooler heads prevailed. I think Angle is the wrong guy to be picking a fight with. It is funny, though, that on WWE 24/7 this month they were talking about something or other, and Mick Foley said he had a story to tell. He said prior to Tazz's WWE debut against Kurt Angle in the Royal Rumble, Kurt came up to him and asked what he should do if Tazz shot on him in the ring. You know, because Tazz was THE ECW SHOOTER~! Tazz was actually on the panel when Mick told this story and he burst into laughter. Foley said he told Angle that he had nothing to worry about. credit:F4W Newsletter

"Baby Doll" Nickla Roberts, a featured legends in Legends Championship Wrestling, has informed Legends Championship Wrestling that Jake "The Snake" Roberts was placed in a nine-week rehab program two days ago by World Wrestling Entertainment. Nickla Roberts is the ex-wife of Sam Houston, Jake Roberts' half-brother and has stayed in close contact with Roberts. She said in an exclusive interview with LegendsChampionshipWrestling.com, "Jake needs prayers and support from all of us." A contact from World Wrestling Entertainment was unavailable for immediate comment. source: http://www.legendschampionshipwrestling.com/

Another set of spoilers said he gets angry at McCool backstage and punches a wall, so I would say yes. I suppose angry mid-card heel biker is easier than fun loving mid-card babyface biker. Will they start calling him Booger Red? I still have no idea what the fuck that means either.

I like Jillians selling there she sounds like a chick in a porno...

So does anyone have any thoughts on Kofi Kingston?

Morrison rules.

I don't think he has a gimmick, other than small guy with bad tattoos.

Batista is trying to rip off that guy from prison breaks look.

Seriously? Now THAT'S funny. Jillian is officially the first heel "crappy egotistical musician" character in wrestling history who really DOES have an album out. Thus she has succeeded where the likes of Double J and Three Count have all failed. That being said, I think she's way over the top with the bad singing gimmick. Yeah, I know she's supposed to suck, but she could at least go for a "Ashlee Simpson unplugged" sort of sucking rather than screeching in the way she does, where it's all too obvious that she's trying to sound as off-key as possible. I like how she did that gimmick on this show, which is meant to rip on Hogans daughter and Hogan still appeared. That makes me laugh really hard.

Backlund tells TNA to fuck off.

If by Gay you mean fuckin' awesome, then you're right. They do suck now, though. You can't go any sort of Shawn Michaels segment without someone using the word gay.

He's a big dumb savage?

Some RVD action.
