Lance Cade worked an FCW show on Thursday night, pretty much confirming
he resigned with the company. People are thinking he is back to team
with Bryan Danielson vs. The Hart Dynasty with Shawn Michaels and Bret
Hart as their mentors. We do know that idea was pitched by creative but
it would take a lot of effort to make that happen.

The Buffala News at http://tinyurl.com/yhn46mf  has a story on WWE with
COO Donna Goldsmith pushing the new PG direction. The reporter claims
that Vince McMahon stopped talent from doing steroids and instituted the
Wellness Program after Chris Benoit went nuts in 2007.

Former WWE Diva Amy Weber gave birth to twins in May, called Levi and
Madison Grace. During an interview this past week, when asked why she
left WWE, she said: "I left on account of pure harassment and being
treated like a piece of dirt by some of the male wrestlers for no
reason. I am actually a very sweet person. Yes, I played a “heel” for
WWE but that is not my personality. I go out of my way to help others
and a few of the guys made my decision to leave very easy. If they
treated someone like that in the real world, they would be fired without
question but are allowed to get away with nonsense in the WWE." Later in
the interview she called Randy Orton a "dirtbag" during word
association.

Matt Hardy wrote some Tweets regarding Jeff's legal issues, then thought
better of it, and deleted them. He wrote: "A year or so from now, Jeff
will be a bigger star and celebrity than he's ever been-we locked him
into a major project this week... Nothing is gonna happen to Jeff, he's
a victim of a corrupt scam-the truth is coming out, and will come out in
it's entirety in the future." I guess cops finding someone in possession
of anabolic steroids, cocaine and enough pain killers to open a pharmacy
makes you the victim these days.

The WWE Studios movie shooting in December with John Cena has been
renamed Brother's Keeper.

Khali is back home in India for the wedding of his younger, much
shorter, brother. He recently underwent knee surgery so I wouldn't
expect him back with WWE until early 2010.

The Calgary Sun at http://tinyurl.com/yjyk7zm  has a story on John
Morrision (in character) pushing his Bragging Rights match against The
Miz. Also in character, Dolph Ziggler at http://tinyurl.com/yjd8qxl  
talks Shane McMahon and Lou Albano.

The ESPN website at http://tinyurl.com/yjep8d8  has a Q&A with The Miz.
He said he changed to ring attire recently because Vince told him he has
great legs: "I really didn't want to do it, but when Vince McMahon comes
up to you and tells you that you have great legs and that you need to be
wearing trunks, well, you're wearing trunks."

Evan Bourne and Gail Kim are signing autographs at the WWE Store at
Niagara Falls on Tuesday from Noon to 2pm.

FCW are holding open tryouts in December. FOR WRESTLER'S, NOT MANAGERS.
John Lauriniatis, Edge, Pat Patterson, Ricky Steamboat, and Mike Rotundo
will be scouting talent. Steve Keirn will be collecting your $1,000.

Samoa Joe went to the hospital after his match last night in Chicago. No
update at press time.

The Daily Star at http://tinyurl.com/yg3lta8  has a story on Nigel
McGuinness. He said Vince Russo came up with the Desmond Wolfe name
after a Google search revealed Desmond was listed as a popular name in
Britain. Desmond as a name is probably about as popular as Osama, and my
Google search had very different results. Anyway, McGuinness also noted
his doctor gave him a clean bill of health and WWE not signing him was a
business decision. Very diplomatic. "I am very eager to prove my worth
[to TNA]," he said. "It means so much to me that Dixie [Carter], Terry
[Taylor, TNA talent chief] and Kurt [Angle] have faith in me, in my
vocation and my work. I will repay that faith."

Kevin Nash, Traci Brooks and SoCal Val will be appearing this weekend at
The Grand Adventure Con in  Pigeon Forge, TN at the Grand Resort Hotel &
Convention Center.

We had a few emails regarding this, but the pink armbands at Bound for
Glory were in support of breast cancer awareness month.

Impact on Thursday night did a 1.1 rating.
