WM22's original masterminds:Eddie Guerrero vs Shawn Michaels,Vince vs Brett Hart

On this week's edition of The Court Bauer & John Pollock Show, Bauer shared his thoughts on the passing of Eddie Guerrero in 2005 when he was still with the WWE and plans the company had for the following year's WrestleMania 22 event from Chicago. 

Original WrestleMania 22 plans for Eddie Guerrero: "It was 24 hours before he passed away, I believe. 24 hours, 48 hours, something like that. We had a call with Vince at home, and we were talking about the preliminary plans for WrestleMania. I know there's this romanticized story about how Eddie was going to get the title, and that was the plan that he was going to get it that night or at Survivor Series. That wasn't the plan. I think Stephanie said that, or alluded to it on the air, and that was not the plan. The plan was that he would lose, and I think they were going to return in December. We had talked about a fascinating idea; I'm not the biggest Bruce Pritchard fan, but to his credit, I believe it was Bruce Prichard who pitched putting Eddie Guerrero at WrestleMania against Shawn Michaels and doing the parallels of their careers. Being the heartthrob in Mexico and this mercurial figure south of the border, and the American version being HBK. They had never really worked, and you would've had such a great dynamic between the two with heel Eddie versus Shawn. That'd be your 'tear the house down,' high quality match at WrestleMania 22 in Chicago. Vince was like, 'God damn, that's really appealing. We could parallel their careers. What kind of footage of Eddie do we have outside of WCW? We could really do some impressive packages.'"

The plan for Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon at WrestleMania 22: "We talked a lot of matches, and the other match at WrestleMania 22 was going to be Vince versus Bret in a street fight, that they would do in a convoluted manner several WrestleManias forward. Bret had just come back into the company in a very informal way. He had just agreed to do the home video release. (Vince) literally, on that call, got Bret on the other line and pitched him doing the match.

Bret was uneasy, but was thinking he could possibly do it as long as there were no hits to his head. We're sitting here like, 'Holy sh*t, we didn't think we'd be talking about a Bret/Vince match!' Vince pitched that match and said, 'What do you guys think?' Everyone was like, 'Yeah, no sh*it! Of course! Bret versus Vince, yes! That's huge.'

A week or two later, Vince said that match was no longer an option. I think it had to do with something on Bret's end."

WWE stars offended by Triple H's hypocrisy :

On the past  Raw during the contact signing for the WWE Championship Match between Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell, Triple H offended WWE Superstars and fans alike with his verbal burial of the talents of Bryan, as well as Chris Jericho, Edge and Rob Van Dam. WWE's Chief Operating Officer grouped Bryan with his three predecessors and declared that like them, he is not capable of being "The Face of WWE."
"Here's the thing, Daniel. I've seen guys like you come and go a million times. Guys like Jericho, Edge, Rob Van Dam. All guys that are very talented, don't get me wrong. Top guys! Very popular! But not "the one." Never were they "the one." And maybe nobody wants to say this, but it needs to be said: It's a fact. If any of those guys had been the face of the WWE back in the day, we'd all be working for Ted Turner right now," said Hunter.

"You think you're playing in the big leagues, kid? You have no idea. You step inside that Hell in a Cell and I have a feeling you're gonna prove to the world that you're a B+ player."

Bryan subsequently challenged Triple H to a match. "The Game" responded by saying he's a "A+ player" and "a star" who only faces the likes of The Undertaker, The Rock and Brock Lesnar.

As reported the following day, the Chief Operating Officer's controversial remarks had a lot of people shaking their heads backstage since they feel he was burying Bryan as a performer rather than knocking him in a villainous manner that would lead to Bryan gaining retribution. Meanwhile, Dave Meltzer revealed on Wrestling Observer Radio (audio available here) on Wednesday that Jericho, Edge and Van Dam were not given notice to the angle ahead of time.

Following Raw, Jericho went on Twitter to respond to Triple H: "Thing is @tripleh despite ur major push,u never were either. Good luck in ur future endeavours."

Later that day, Jericho downplayed his reaction to Triple H. Responding to a tweet that labeled what Hunter said as "completely untrue and unfair," Jericho wrote, "No big deal. Always nice to be mentioned on Raw."

Meltzer speculated that Jericho was legitimately upset with Hunter's remarks. He added, "I can tell you with 100% certainty with the Jericho situation, that it was not an angle."

Meltzer garnered reaction from some WWE talent on the controversial promo, many of whom felt it was counter-productive. They also felt that Hunter's dismissive remarks are legitimate gripes.

"As far as the talent in the dressing room—the reaction that I got from a couple of people, was basically that they all thought that the interview was counter-productive," said Meltzer. "They all felt that Triple H, while he will say "well, I was only working," those were his true thoughts on those guys, and it didn't make people very happy overall."

Joey Styles on DBryan,Internet Fans Power,Hogan back on WWE:

The "Voice of ECW" and current WWE.com staffer Joey Styles joined the VOC Wrestling Nation .Dolph Ziggler being underutilized: "My very good friend Dolph Ziggler isn't being used to the best of his potential. You want to be very careful who you hand the ball to, but I think Dolph is someone that you can absolutely hand the ball to because his work is very exciting. He is unbelievably crisp and great on the mic; he is a big fan of standup comedy and he can ad lib as well (if he is given permission to do it). He's also never going to embarrass the company, he's never going to get in trouble with the law, he's a model guy."

Daniel Bryan's rise to success: "The storyline got him over the top to be someone that you would by a ticket for. I was such a fan of his before he even came to WWE. The whole idea of making him lose in 18 seconds to Sheamus did more for him than winning by cheating. That was good for Daniel Bryan (it led to the YES chant the next night on Raw). The fact that the entire company (on the storyline) is ganging up against him, (is a result of the fact that) you wouldn't do that for someone that you weren't ready to hand the ball to."

Internet fans being relevant: "People say Internet fans like they're a small group. More people have the Internet than have cable tv now. They're not a vocal minority, they are the only vocal fans. Nobody in our company wanted to acknowledge that (Twitter and Social Media) was as big as it was; but thankfully we got ahead of that and we as a company are huge on Social Media."

Hulk Hogan being on the front page of wwe.com the day that the Internet reported that his TNA contract expired: "Absolutely (that was intentional). Nobody at wwe.com knows if the (front office) is talking to Hulk Hogan. But it's out there on every other site; we know that fans are thinking it, so why wouldn't we use all of the videos and content that we own and use it on the site to build traffic and entertain the fans?"

WWE 2K14: "I'm not a gamer, but this game is amazing. You can create your own wrestler and really make anybody (even wrestling personalities that aren't in the game)."

The Rock's "WAKE UP CALL" and Fast 7,E! on Divas,Vince McMahon's no-show gimmick:

- According to The Hollywood Reporter, TNT greenlighted a new 8-episode unscripted series for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to host. Rock, who hosted the 8-episode reality series The Hero on TNT this past summer, will executive produce the new project, titled Wake Up Call. The series will follow "everyday people who are facing challenges in their lives. From dysfunctional homes and dead-beat dads to sports teams that don't gel and businesses struggling to survive, Johnson will help turn them into success stories."

"We had a wonderful time working with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson on The Hero, in which he challenged and mentored a group of everyday heroes," said David Eilenberg, senior vice president of unscripted development for TNT and TBS. "Wake Up Call evolved from our experience on The Hero and is its natural successor, bringing the human spirit of that show home to take on everyday challenges. In this new series, Dwayne will bring his mission of empowerment and change right to people's front doors."

- Speaking of The Rock, he noted on his Twitter that he is now headed to start shooting for Fast 7 after completing filming Hercules:

Dwayne Johnson        ? @TheRock
Intense 6 months of HERCULES to now Hobbs (Fast & Furious). Shooting starts now. #50ShadesOfAttitude
10:41 PM - 24 Oct 2013

E! sent out a press release with these details regarding the new episodes of Total Divas, which will premiere on the network next month on November 10th:
"Six new episodes of Total Divas debut on Sunday, November 10, when season one of E!'s breakout hit series continues to take viewers inside the lives of the biggest female names in WWE: Nikki and Brie Bella (WWE Divas The Bella Twins), Nattie (WWE Diva Natalya), Trinity (WWE Diva Naomi), Ariane (WWE Diva Cameron) and WWE Divas-in-training Eva Marie and JoJo. The series picks up with Eva Marie causing more drama amongst the Divas, when she lands a spot in WWE's SummerSlam event. She pushes Nikki Bella too far when she fuels the rumor that she will become John Cena's (Nikki's boyfriend) personal valet. Meanwhile, Ariane's anger issues begin to affect her relationships with her family, boyfriend and co-workers and Trinity accidentally humiliates Nattie in front of millions of fans days before the biggest match of her career. Later in the season, E! cameras capture WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan's surprise proposal to Brie Bella."

Vince McMahon was being advertised locally to appear at this Monday's RAW at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. The arena's official website is advertising an appearance from "the McMahon's," while the WWE.com event page for the show has Vince McMahon listed.
It's important to note that you can't take WWE's advertised line-ups at face value. For instance, Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan were advertised to square off in the dark match main event at the October 15th SmackDown taping, even though the company knew well ahead of time that both men would be headed to Abu Dhabi and not be able to appear.

It should also be noted that while Vince McMahon appears on the event page for Monday's show, he has also appeared on the event page for pretty much every RAW since SummerSlam, including the October 14th show in St.Louis and the October 7th show in Pittsburgh. That doesn't necessarily mean that he won't appear, but you can't strictly go off of company advertising.

TNA ceases touring,launches 24/7 Progams for fans,promotes new talents:

TNA Wrestling officials held a talent meeting this afternoon in Salt Lake City, Utah at the Maverik Center—site of tonight's Impact Wrestling tapings—announcing that the company will cease touring Impact Wrestling on a continuous basis in the United States on Nov. 7 in Cincinnati, Ohio in Cincinnati Gardens.
The company will return to its former base, Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, for television tapings on Nov. 21, 22 and 23. Dates at the venue in December, which will carry the Spike program through January, are currently being finalized.

While the television tapings will be held at Universal Studios Florida, it is said that the events will not emanate from the same sound stage that housed the Impact Zone. The sound stage is smaller length-wise, but features wider space.

The Dec. 27 taping scheduled for the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has been canceled, according to F4WOnline.com. At the moment, an event listing currently remains on ImpactWrestling.com.

After taking Impact Wrestling on the road in March, TNA Wrestling president Dixie Carter stated in an interview that the organization had no intention on returning to Orlando, Florida. However, financial concerns and lackluster attendance has forced TNA to return to its longtime home.

TNA also launches 24/7 Cross-platform Programming Initiative, Announces Return To Universal Studios Following the Bound For Glory pay-per-view event in San Diego, California, beginning today, the organization is kicking off a 24/7 cross-platform programming initiative, "Where Action Never Ends."
TNA Wrestling explains that following each and every episode of Impact Wrestling on Spike, the storylines will extend throughout the following 166 hours until the next show with additional content being distributed via ImpactWrestling.com, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, as well as a variety of new outlets in the coming months.

TNA Wrestling also confirmed its return to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, with a live episode scheduled to take place at the venue on Nov. 21. Additionally, some shows will be filmed on the road from different markets.

TNA Launches "Where Action Never Ends" Programming with Universal Studios Orlando

TNA LAUNCHES UNPRECEDENTED "WHERE ACTION NEVER ENDS" 24/7 CROSS-PLATFORM PROGRAMMING

TNA BRINGS FANS CLOSER THAN EVER BEFORE TO THE REAL LIVES OF WRESTLING SUPERSTARS

Coming off the heels of one of TNA's highest-attended Bound For Glory Pay-Per-View events to date, TNA Wrestling announces a 24/7 cross-platform programming initiative, "Where Action Never Ends," beginning today. Marking an evolution in the way fans experience professional wrestling, through this initiative, cameras will be rolling on the TNA superstars at live events, on the road and in their homes, giving viewers the chance to experience IMPACT Wrestling 24 hours a day/7 days a week.

How this will work: Fans will see compelling, "cameras everywhere" content infused into IMPACT Live on Spike TV every Thursday from 9-11 p.m. ET. For the remaining 166 hours of the week until the next show, they will also have the chance to see many of the wrestlers they love and storylines they follow unfold as this exclusive content filmed during the week will be presented online at impactwrestling.com, on social channels including YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, as well as a variety of new distribution channels in the coming months.

A longtime valued partner, Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla, will serve as the hub for TNA's revolutionized programming strategy with shows primarily taping at their location, along with some IMPACT shows that will be filmed on the road from different markets. The first IMPACT show scheduled from Orlando will air live on November 21.

"The way that people view television has dramatically shifted, and it is incumbent upon us to deliver a modern, revolutionized way of watching professional wrestling to our fans," said President Dixie Carter. "Our reality is that we only have 82 minutes of programming each week and a large roster of talented professionals that deserve more exposure. With our new 'Where Action Never Ends' creative direction, we will deliver just that for both them and the fans."

Carter continued, "Bringing live events to our fans across the globe will remain a vital element of TNA's business; however, our renewed focus, as it relates to our television programming, will shift from live event touring to 24/7 show content, so that fans can really get to know our talent. And, in making Orlando's Universal Studios our programming hub, we have the powerful combination of state-of-the art production facilities and incredible soundstages that will make it easier for us to launch this new production-intensive initiative. We will also be working with Universal to develop new and creative ways for park guests and fans from around the world to experience a unique TNA attraction."

"Universal Studios Florida Production Group is pleased to be TNA Wrestling's partner as it launches its 24/7 cross-platform initiative 'Where Action Never Ends'," said Pamela Tuscany, Vice President and General Manager, Universal Studios Florida Production Group. "We look forward to the successful launch of 'Where Action Never Ends' giving viewers the chance to experience IMPACT Wrestling 24 hours a day/7 days a week."

Along with a refreshed creative approach, several new characters will be announced in the coming months. In recent weeks, fans have already seen Ethan Carter III (EC3) and Lei'D Tapa, TNA's newest Knockout. Universal Studios will also serve as the primary training facility for TNA talent moving forward, providing the opportunity to train and develop talent on an ongoing basis.

The strength and success of TNA's programming worldwide is at an all-time high. TNA Wrestling ratings around the world are seeing significant increases particularly in important international television markets such as the UK and Germany where the show is the number one wrestling program on television. Additionally, TNA recently inked new deals with distribution partners in Portugal and New Zealand, renewed a multi-year deal in France, and recently-launched programming in India is performing beyond expectation.

"A decade ago, TNA started as a Pay-Per-View only company only and has grown into a global success. I am more excited than ever about our 'Where Action Never Ends' creative direction and what will become the next evolution of professional wrestling," said Carter.

UFC releases Joey Beltran drugs record,Santos recovery update:

- Joey "The Mexicutioner" Beltran announced his release from the UFC yesterday via Twitter, writing, "Thank you to @ufc @danawhite @lorenzofertitta & #JoeSilva for the opportunities you have given me. Time for a new chapter in my fight life."

Sporting an overall record of 14-9, Beltran has gone 3-6 with one No Contest in the UFC. He was cut from the promotion previously in 2012 but was brought back into the fold after earning a win outside of the UFC. In his return stint, he went 1-2, with his win over Igor Pokrajac overturned after he failed a drug test. His last fight ended in a split decision loss to Fabio Maldonado.

- Junior dos Santos took a massive beating at the hands of UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez last weekend. Even UFC president Dana White has said that the fight should have been stopped earlier than the fifth round, either by referee intervention or from his corner throwing the towel. Either way, the fight ended as it did and dos Santos ended up in the hospital. In a troublesome note filed by Fighters Only via Combate, it came to light at the hospital that dos Santos actually thought that the fight was over in the second round and had no recollection of the last three rounds of the fight.

However, on UFC Tonight this week, Ariel Helwani revealed that dos Santos didn't suffer any real damage beyond some facial abrasions that required several stitches. Apparently, the memory lapses are to be expected after a fight like that and dos Santos' memory is expected to return. So, aside from the cuts, bruises and damaged pride, the former champion should be okay.

Santino Marella on The Jim Cornette Accident,debut,dream opponents in Wrestling and MMA,HHH:

Joshua Modaberi of Wrestling 101 recently interviewed Santino Marella, who discussed his new Battle Arts Academy gym, the cross over between wrestling and MMA, the Jim Cornette OVW incident and more.

The Jim Cornette incident in OVW: "It was just a misunderstanding, I was in the audience watching with my daughter and I was sitting in the area where the OVW students sit. I had only been there for a few weeks and didn't know anything about wrestling, The Boogeyman was trying to get out of an exit which was behind me and I had no idea the exit was behind me because he was going out of an emergency exit.

"I didn't move out of the way and was enjoying the show as an audience member, so the fact that I didn't move out of the way and play along showing I was terrified of this monster tipped Jim over the edge. He was already upset because The Boogeyman had a bit of a costume malfunction and the fact that I didn't jump out of the way kind of made him snap and he gave me a couple of slaps backstage.

"I just told myself to keep cool because I was a Canadian in the United States and had just got there and wanted to study. I thought to myself if I retaliated in any way it won't be good, first of all he was a stable old guy, it wouldn't of been a fight but that's not the point, you just shouldn't be laying hands on anybody."

Debuting as Santino Marella and winning the IC title in Italy: "Out of the blue one day I got the call up and they said I was going to debut as this Italian guy and my name would be Santino. This was an idea from top brass management, Vince (McMahon) himself actually so of course it was an honour and a privilege and I went with it.

"All of a sudden they flew me out to Italy, put me in the audience and the rest is history. I was so fixated with not making a mistake that I almost didn't enjoy the moment as it was happening. Now when I look back I can actually watch it and remember what it was like, it was pretty nerve racking and very surreal."

His dream opponent: "I would have loved to have wrestled Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle but he is obviously with another company and Dean Malenko. Those are guys I watched, they weren't the biggest guys, but they are so technical and so tough, I know we could have had some really fun matches. I wrestled Chavo Guerrero quite a bit and we had amazing matches, he's awesome, so I can only imagine how good Eddie was.

"If Santino was able to demonstrate his MMA prowess I would love to have matches with CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, and Kofi Kingston."

MMA stars like Rampage Jackson and Tito Ortiz entering the business: "That's interesting, I don't know if it's something for the pay day but when Rampage Jackson came to Raw he told me he had often thought about becoming a pro wrestler as a kid so maybe he's just living out his dream."

His thoughts on the latest storyline with Triple H calling Daniel Bryan too small to be WWE Champion: "I'm interested to see where it's going to go, it's obviously making for some good television and they are making the fans want to see something happen. I'm very curious to see what the payoff is going to be."

Scott Hall disses Goldberg,Stan Hansen in WWE,Jake Robert's Rumble return,Sunny fights Cancer:

Over a decade after Scott Hall and Bill Goldberg last worked together in World Championship Wrestling, there is still no love lost between the two.
This morning on Twitter, a fan wrote to Hall, "Goldberg! Goldberg! What does that remind you of @scotthallnwo." He responded with the following: "#GoldMark."

His slight is in reference to Goldberg having a reputation within the professional wrestling industry of taking his character too seriously.

In the past, Goldberg has labeled Hall as "unprofessional" and blamed him for a near career-ending injury at a December 1999 WCW event where he smashed the windows of a limousine with his bare hands. He lost a large amount of blood due to this and came within one centimeter of having to have an arm amputated.

"I should've killed him but I didn't," Goldberg told Mike Mooneyham of The Post & Courier in a 2001 interview discussing the incident. "Scott Hall is very unprofessional and he often breaks character and does things I don't agree with. I try to be professional and set a positive example, but unfortunately he doesn't share the same views. Vince Russo couldn't control him and we had an issue, and instead of being unprofessional and making him pay, I took my frustrations out on that limousine."

- The official WWE website has added Stan Hansen to its Alumni section. An AJPW Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion in Japan, he was also an AWA World Heavyweight Champion, NWA United States Champion, and an NWA World Tag Team Champion. He competed for WWE in the late 1970s, which was then known as the World Wide Wrestling Federation. In April 1990, Vince McMahon's company partnered with All Japan Pro Wrestling to hold a mega show at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, and in the main event, Hansen lost to Hulk Hogan.

- Jake "The Snake" Roberts, who announced in April that he wanted to compete in the 2014 Royal Rumble after resurrecting his life through Diamond Dallas Page and the DDPYoga program, has continued to campaign for a spot in the annual affair. Yesterday on Twitter, he publicized a petition directed to WWE Talent Relations to put him in the match.

The petition states, "Jake has given the fans so much of himself in the ring over the course of his decades spent in the business, let's give back to him and show our appreciation by voicing our support for the next stage in his journey!" the petition states. "Let's show WWE that we fans want to see this. Send your mail to WWE, post about this on every kind of social network imaginable, tell your friends and their friends, AND SIGN THIS PETITION! Let's show WWE that we won't shut up until Jake Roberts is in the Royal Rumble!"

WWE officials are reportedly aware of Roberts' desire, but not interested in using him at this time. In August, it was reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that they were not considering him for the match, and if they did, it wouldn't be until January when the event draws near.

- While serving a 114-day jail sentence earlier this year for repeatedly violating her ex-boyfriend's restraining order, WWE Hall of Famer Tammy "Sunny" Sytch's prior contraction of human papillomavirus (HPV) developed into cervical cancer. After declaring in May that she was cancer-free following a hysterectomy, the 40-year-old revealed on Monday that she is not completely clear from the life-threatening illness. Despite this, she remains in positive spirits and plans to conquer the disease.

The former WWE Diva wrote on Facebook on Thursday, "I've been sad, depressed, angry, confused, bitter, in denial, upset since Monday when I got the bad news from my oncologist ... But this morning, I thought to myself, I'm the toughest, strongest, most resilient b---h I know (I blame that on being a Russian and a sagittarius) so I'm gonna do what I do best when something stands I'm my way.... I'm gonna beat the s--t out of then choke out Cancer once and for all! And if ANYONE OR ANYTHING tries to stand in my way, I'll take you out right along with it! Just try me, biatch! You have NO IDEA who you're dealing with!! I WILL SURVIVE!!!"

JR on joining TNA,Kaitlyn& Sheamus make-over,Foley wants Kurt Angle back in WWE:

- WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated the Q&A section of his website and was asked the obligatory question about joining TNA. When asked if he would be interested in leading TNA's creative department, JR replied, "I have zero interest in getting involved on a regular basis the pro wrestling business on any level and especially as a part of a 'booking committee.'"

- Speaking of Kaitlyn, she recently changed her hair and is now a brunette. You can check out a photo of her new look below:

K8LYN        ? @KaitlynWWE
Please excuse the selfie. New hair. #RIPTwoTone
8:38 PM - 23 Oct 2013

In Demand has released the WWE TLC poster, which you can check out below. Unlike recent promotional posters, this one doesn't feature any WWE Superstars:

- The Celtic Warrior has ditched his trademark beard.

Sheamus, who has been sidelined since August due to a torn labrum in his shoulder, participated in an anti-bullying rally today in Orlando, Florida, with a clean shaven look. The three-time world champion is expected to return to action sometime between December and February.

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley stated on Twitter that he missed seeing Kurt Angle inside the WWE ring—Angle appeared in a John Cena retrospective. Today, Foley published a blog on his Facebook page clamoring for the return of the Olympic Gold medalist to WWE.

"[Angle] was on the video for less than 20 seconds, but that was all it took to remind every long-time fan of what a huge part of WWE Kurt was," wrote Foley. "I know he's had an amazing career since leaving WWE, but if my own departure from WWE proved one thing, it's that a good percentage of the WWE Universe only wants to see their WWE Superstars inside WWE. That's not a knock on TNA. But while many enjoy Kurt on a regular basis on Thursdays, I just know a Kurt Angle return to WWE - whether it's a one-time match, an extended run, or a very worthy induction into the WWE Hall of Fame - will be huge! I miss Kurt Angle in WWE...and, based and so do you."

Christopher Daniels on the speciality of BOF,the greatest X-Men around,etc:

What makes Bound For Glory so special?

All the stories lead up to that so as a TNA wrestler, you sort of judge your year beginning and ending at Bound for Glory. We have a tournament from July through September, the Bound for Glory Series, in which the top twelve talents in the company compete in a tournament with the winner getting the main event slot against the World Heavyweight Champion, which this year is AJ Styles. All the titles – Tag Team, X-Division, Knockout – are up for grabs. It’s also a weekend where get to say “thank you” to our fan base by interacting with them the day before. It’s an opportunity for fans to come and meet us, greet us and embrace us like brethren. This year we’re also inducting Kurt Angle into the TNA Hall of Fame. It’s a lot of moving parts.

You and Frank Kazarian are competing for the Tag Team titles against three other teams. What are your thoughts on the competition?

The truth of the matter is, they not teams the way Frankie and I are a team. We’ve been together for almost two years now and we pride ourselves on being the best tag team in the business. Eric Young and Joseph Park? They’re a fisherman and a lawyer. The BroMans? Those guys are more worried about soap operas and their modeling contracts. Chavo and Hernandez? Those guys haven’t even been around the last three months. So the truth of the matter is, it’s sort of an easy guess as to who will win that match. It’s going to be us. We’re the better tag team compared to those guys and compared to (current champs) Gunnar and Storm. So not only are we going to beat those three teams in the pre-show, we’ll then win back our Tag Team Championships. We’re going to bring prestige back to the Tag Team titles like we did a year ago.

Getting through three teams and then later taking on the champs seems like it could be a challenge.

It’s not going to be a challenge. We’re in the best shape of our lives. We pride ourselves on being physical specimens. Our cardio is off the chain, so to speak. We work very hard to be in tip-top condition every show we do. We’ve wrestled hour-long matches. We’re ready for anything. There is a strategy involved in a gauntlet match like this one to minimize the amount of exertion that you deal with, as opposed to a singles match, and there will be time between the end of that match and the title match, so we know that we’ll be at 100%.

Should you beat Storm and Gunnar, how will you define your reign as champs?

Consistency. Cohesion. We’re best friends. Two sides of the same coin. We’re of one mind. Over the last year, the tag team championships have been held by ad hoc duos and second-stringers. This year, prestige will come back to the championships when those belts go around our delicious waists.

How did you initially decide wrestling was the path for you?

I grew up in North Carolina watching Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, which then became NWA, and later became WCW. So I watched guys like Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, The Road Warriors, Magnum TA and Sting. I had a very big appreciation for professional wrestling as a kid. After I graduated college with a theater degree, I tried my hand at acting in the Chicago area and I decided to give wrestling a try just to say I did it. I wasn’t sure what would happen but I wanted to give it a chance even if I washed out just as an experience I could tell my grandkids about. But because I was so familiar with it from watching as a kid, I went through training pretty easily and once I started wrestling matches, that’s where I learned the bulk of my knowledge. That’s how you learn. On the job. I worked very hard to get as much experience as I could by wrestling as many matches as I could, against as many different people as I could, and for as many promoters as I could. That’s you get to be a commodity. You get so comfortable with yourself that you know that no matter where you go you can get into a ring and wrestle someone you’ve never met or seen before and still have an entertaining match. That’s how you get promoters to start hunting your phone number down to get you working on their shows.

We spoke with Daniel Bryan recently and he mentioned you as a good buddy of his. Are there any other guys from those indie days that you are still close with?

Absolutely. First of all, Daniel Bryan is probably top of my list as far as being one of the nicest guys and one of the guys that’s worked the hardest. Watching him go from the Texas indies, to the Ring of Honor days, to where he is now – it’s just a testament to his desire and his hard work. Then there are guys like AJ Styles and Samoa Joe, both former World Champions, we went through the indies together and Ring of Honor together. Those guys have both worked very hard to reach the top of the ladder. Lo-Ki is another guy I’ve had extensive experience with in the ring and on the road. And then Frankie Kazarian and I have traveled around together for the past decade and a half honing our craft and now we’re the top team in TNA. You build a relationship with these guys traveling around the world, keeping your nose to the grindstone to become better and I think working with such talented guys like that has helped me become as good as I am now.

How would you describe your wrestling style?

I feel like I’m a jack of all trades. I do a little bit of high flying, I do a little bit of brawling, a little bit of technical but I’ve never been one over the other. Ive always tried to be more of a well-rounded wrestler and be able to adapt to the person I’m in the ring with. Like if I was in the ring with AJ, I could do enough high-flying to keep up with him. Or if I was in the ring with Daniel Bryan, I could do enough technical work to stay with him. I think that’s what has given me the longevity in this business; being able to adapt to the opponent I’m across the ring from.

Is that the advice you would give someone looking to break into the business?

I would advise them to try and be flexible. Like, if you are a high flyer, you may not get the opportunity to work with someone who works well with a high flyer. You’ve just got to be flexible in your approach to who you’re wrestling. It’s very rare you find someone who is excels in only one facet of the game that also finds long-term success because there’s so many different types of wrestlers out there that sooner or later your going to be exposed as very one-sided very quickly. Even guys like Rey Mysterio, who made a career out of being one of the best high-flyers in the world, he’s also a very good mat wrestler and he can throw hands with the best of them. He may be remembered long-term as a high-flyer but he didn’t just rely on that. When push comes to shove he can do the rest of it just as well.

Who were some of your influences?

My first favorite wrestler was Magnum TA. Coming up during that era, I thought he was really good and had a fire to him that set him apart. Another favorite of mine as a youth was Sting. He was the complete package in my eyes as someone that stood out from the crowd. He had an energy to him that was different than the flotsam and jetsom of the area at that point. When I started wrestling myself, I looked up to guys like Shawn Michaels and Shawn Waltman because they did so much with their careers despite having a smaller physique. When I was growing up everyone was 280, 300 lbs. and being 200 lbs at that point you weren’t looked upon as someone who could be a superstar. And then along come guys like Waltman and Michaels. Those guys showed the world that athleticism had its place in professional wrestling. And I still look up to those guys as people who wrestled smart and had long careers, paving the way for guys like me.

Who has given your best matches in TNA?

The easy answer is AJ Styles and Samoa Joe. Those guys have pushed me to work as hard as I’ve ever had to and have pulled the best matches of my career out of me. Someone else I feel like I’ve had great matches with is Kurt Angle, but I think he does that to everybody. Everybody he’s in the ring with works a little bit harder just to keep up with him and try to prove they deserve to be there.

What would be your dream match?

I’d have to say Chris Jericho. He’s always been someone I’ve looked up to as a fan and over the course of my career I’ve always looked at him as sort of the perfect blend of athleticism and character. I’ve said time and time again that he was a compelling guy on the microphone and once the bell rang he could get it done. He was that perfect mix of athlete and entertainer.

Kazarian aside, any dream tag partners?

No. I think Frankie is the dream partner. We’re so alike mentally in our approach to wrestling and our goals and our work ethic that I think he’s the best partner that I could ask for. The only other guy I’ve had that kind of chemistry with is AJ Styles. We had a very short, but successful, run together and if we had the time that Frankie and I have had who knows what could have happened. But I’m very happy with what Frankie and I have put together and I don’t think we’ve even scratched the surface of what we can do as a team.

Any TNA moments that struck you as particularly special?

I thought when Samoa Joe won the World Title was a special night. That was an instance where TNA sort of got out of it’s own way and let the competitors speak for themselves. The build for Joe versus Kurt Angle in the cage was perfect and it was a well-deserved victory for Joe. It was his first world title but not his last, I don’t believe. But even if it was, that was a career defining moment for Joe and a really good moment for TNA as a company.

Any wrestling moments outside of TNA that have been particularly inspiring?

As a kid, the day The Rock N Roll Express defeated The Russians for the tag team titles was exciting to me. It was a moment in history that I’ll always remember as a wrestling fan. It was exciting to see this new team come into the company I had been watching for years and do what no one else could by defeating what was a dominant team. Also, the night that Sting won the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time. Those are the matches that stick out in my head.

You’re a big comic book fan. What are you reading these days and what are your all-time favorites?

Yeah I’ve been collecting comic books for over 30 years now. I’m a big Marvel guy and an X-Men guy at heart. The thing that got me into comics in the first place was The Uncanny X-Men written by Chris Claremont and written by John Byrne. I sort of have a special connection with them and Wolverine especially. In the lats couple of years, Marvel has had a resurgence in creativity and have put out a lot of books under the Marvel Now banner that I’m reading like All New X-Men, Superior Spider-Man and Avengers Arena. All good books. And what Marvel has been doing with their movies is very smart. Using all the characters to build off of each other rather than treating the franchises separately. I’m really looking forward to the new Thor next month and then Captain America and Guardians of the Galaxy next year.

Any other Marvel characters you want to see in the movies?

There’s been talk of a Deadpool movies for years, especially after Ryan Reynolds played him in Wolverine: Origins. But that’s a character I’d like to see more of, whether Reynolds plays him or not, and who I think is still very popular and has an opportunity to do something pretty cool in the movies.

Any parting words for TNA fans?

To the fans, thanks very much for your support. Everybody at TNA realizes we wouldn’t be were we are without the support of our fan base. It’s a very loyal fan base and that’s why Bound for Glory is an opportunity for us to say “thank you” for their support. Everybody that comes out to San Diego is going to have a great experience whether they are first time fans or long time fans.

And for your opponents at Bound for Glory?

They know what I’m all about. I can spit and swear at them, but the truth of the matter is that they know what they’re in for. They’ve watched Frankie and I dominate Impact Wrestling for the last two years. It’s not going to be any different at Bound for Glory.

TNA back with 6-sided ring,Madison's baby,Todd back in TNA,Christopher Daniels joins Susan G.Komen:

The seating chart for the TNA Impact Wrestling World Tour live event on September 17th, 2015 at the Kansas Expocentre in Topeka, KS reveals a ramp leading up to a six-sided ring instead of the four-sided ring.
This could be an indication that the six-sided ring may be making a return to TNA. You can check out the chart in the photo posted below, via Ticketmaster.com:

- Former TNA Knockout Madison Rayne posted the first public photo of her baby with the following caption on Twitter:

Madison Rayne        ? @MRayneTNA
Finally introducing my little angel face!


- Former TNA announcer Todd Keneley was backstage at last Sunday's TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view. Keneley noted on his Twitter that he was "just visiting, but would love to be back at some point." He also said that he would return to TNA if he was asked, but that it wasn't up to him.

- Christopher Daniels was filmed at Brian Kendrick's School of Pro Wrestling earlier this month for Susan G. Komen Orange County. Daniels will be appearing in Komen Orange County's second holiday jingle video campaign, which is scheduled to debut just before Thanksgiving.

Daniels, along with several others, lent his singing voice to help raise funds for mammograms for under-served and under-insured women and men in Orange County. Chris spent an afternoon belting out new lyrics to the tune of "Jingle Bells" about raising money for breast health.

Justin Credible threatens to kill Matt Striker,Lex Luger on WWE vs WCW:

Justin Credible had an altercation with Matt Striker this past Saturday at an NYWC event in Deer Park, NY. Justin beat Striker in a "pure" wrestling match, which prohibited the use of punches or running the ropes. After the match was over, Striker was supposed to beat Credible down, but instead threw a chair to Justin's face and busted him open hardway.

A fan was at the show, noted that it was apparent that Justin was physically hurt as he immediately started to bleed. Striker walked to the back as Justin sat by the bottom turnbuckle while referees and medical personnel checked on him. Justin then got up and stormed to the back. It was obvious that he was legitimately angry and even the camera man had a worried look on his face.

Justin posted his latest Daily Hardcore Ramblings blog at this link and noted that his upper body was covered in blood after the chair shot. He also detailed confronting Striker backstage.

"Well when I went to the back I was a little annoyed, and it didn't help that Matt was right there already starting to talk s--t to the promoter," Justin wrote. "I'm not mad at getting hit. I'm mad at the way he is manipulating things in the locker room, and to the NYWC officals. When he started to say he was sorry, I felt more anger, and basically told him to f-ck off. He kept taking sh-t, and then the boys got in the middle, and I walked away. I have no idea what he's trying to accomplish with this, but Matt if something like this ever happens again, I WILL KILL YOU. I just want you to remember, we are 'working' each other again very soon. I'm really looking forward to that match."

Forbes interviewed Lex Luger, who was promoting his new book, Wrestling with the Devil: The True Story of a World Champion Professional Wrestler—His Reign, Ruin, and Redemption. Here are just a couple of highlights from the interview:

Difference between the WCW and WWF environments: "They were both very similar. I was more comfortable with WCW only because I lived in Atlanta and the airport travels anywhere. But both companies are very similar. You're both traveling internationally and I mean, there are a lot more similarities than differences, let me put it that way. It was nice to have the option to, obviously of going to a company; leverage and negotiation. It was nice to have one or the other to go to, at the time.

His thoughts on WWE: "The WWE ended up winning the war, the Monday-night wrestling wars, and took over both companies. So now it's all one, great, big conglomerate, internationally, ginormous wrestling entertainment industry now. There's really no close competitors."
