I spoke to Konnan yesterday and he informed me that Triple A is coming to New York next year.  We will update you with more news as it becomes available.
 
Thanks to Dominick Valenti for this news:
Galavision Lucha Libre is pre-empted on Saturday afternoon. A new show airs 3 a.m. late Saturday night and 1 p.m. on Sunday.
I was surprised to see Sean Waltman using the X Pac name last week, and coming out to DX music.  It was also good to see Scott Hall on the show.

My dear friend Tom Minichiello, who used to own Mid City Health Club in Manhattan, where many wrestlers used to work out when in town, informed me that Reggie Parks passed away yesterday in South Africa, after struggling with cancer for a while.  Reg was good friends with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruno Sammartino.  He will be missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.   Reg Park Official Website - Home
 
John Pantozzi reminded me that I should let you fans know, this is Reg Parks the Body Builder not the wrestler Reggie Parks.  I met Reg at the Gym, and he was such a wonderful man, just wanted to add him to our update.

Thanks to Jeff Sheridan for this news:
I was just listening to Bubba The Love Sponge on Sirius' Channel 101 & Bubba just
mentioned that Chris Jericho is scheduled to be on his show on November 29th.
 
I know many were upset the Jericho's arrival was less than enthusiastic, plus the ratings remained the same.

Four cases will hang from corners in the ring - three will contain a shot at either the TNA World, Tag Team or X Division Championships. The fourth will contain a certificate informing whoever gets it that they are fired! (keith note:  yes this match is along the same lines of the San Francisco 49er match Russo booked in WCW between Booker T and Jeff Jarrett back in October of 2000, for more information check this out http://ddtdigest.com/updates/2000095m.htm,
    instead of title shots in the cases this was one of the weapons in one of them http://ddtdigest.com/updates/pictures/2000095m003.jpg hopefully this happens in this match...

Hey Gang,

Thanks for all the support you've sent our way, and to Lince, since Sunday's "Chapter 11" event. Some of you have even gone so far as to offer donations to help defray some of his medical expenses, which is incredibly generous and flat-out kind.

But we here at CHIKARA feel donations are for non-profit groups, and the idea of fans giving us something and not getting something in return is a little cheesy. So, we've come up with some ways you can still lend a hand, because the proceeds of these two auctions below, as well as from the advanced release of the 2008 Lince Dorado trading card, will go right to our recovering Golden Lynx.

The links to these exclusive, 7-day auctions, are: 
 
 

...and if you've only got a few bucks to spend, drop by our online store, and snap up the as-yet unreleased Lince Dorado card, which is number 17 in the continuing series of rockin' cool CHIKARA cards. (We'll be mailing them out starting next week!) It features the usual hoo-ha on the back, and the front sports a really cool snapshot by none other than Lyle Williams! Ain't he the best?

Last but not least, we feel terribly about how we closed out Season 6. So, we're pleased to announce that we are feverishly working with our pals at Penn State University to finalize one more 2007 card, and this, as thanks to our loyal pals in the CHIKArmy, will be free admission to everyone and everything that shows up. Keep your eyes on www.chikarapro.com  for the skinny on that shindig!
