Gail Kim, MSG,formerly known as Dudley’s, Tank Toland, Tammy, Pringle, Hillbilly Jim, Lynn, Steiner and so much more.

CHATTERBOX NEWS & NOTES
 
Gail Kim has come to an agreement with TNA as the former WWE Women's Champion will be debuting sometime in October with the company, perhaps as early as TNA's debut on Spike TV on Saturday, October 1st, 2005.
 
Seems very strange to me that the WWE has not had a Madison Square Garden wrestling show in a long while.  With only three shows so far this year and none in site for the rest of the year, I wonder if the WWE still has an exclusive contract with the Garden. 
Wow, I remember when we used to have at least 12 shows a year, sometimes 15.  We really haven't had that many East Coast shows lately.  MSG is the Mecca of Sports Entertainment and was always an Arena wrestlers dreamed about appearing in.  I feel part of the problem is that MSG always used to sell out, and lately no where near a sell out, except for the Super Show which had Raw and Smackdown tapings in one night... I feel there is more to this story. 
 
So much has been said about "formerly known as The Dudley's" lately. I would think they would just use another name not to put up with all the bull.......  Although I feel the WWE is being very unfair in this case.  They let the Dudley's leave, now they are going out of their way to prevent them from earning a living elsewhere using those names.  They had those names since the beginning of ECW, it's not like WWE came up with the gimmick.  This will be an ongoing story.....
 
OVW Southern Tag Team Champion and WWE Development Superstar Tank Toland has a new website. You can view the site at www.tanktoland.tk.
 
Here are pictures of Tammy Sytch at the WrestleReunion, Hardcore Homecoming, with Chris and more.....    Click here: TammySytch.net - Photo Gallery
 
I spoke to Bob Ryder yesterday and he informed me that someone has spoken to Percy Pringle (Paul Bearer) and he is ok but has no electricity. Percy lives in Mobile, AL.  I think he has been lucky.
 
After having minor shoulder surgery, former WWE Superstar Matt Morgan still made his appearance in Fargo, North Dakota on August 28th. This says a lot about the former WWE Superstar. Matt Morgan believes that the minor surgery has only made him stronger. Matt Morgan is 6'10  over 300 pounds is available for bookings. For booking information contact Corey Phillips at: [email protected]
 
Hillbilly Jim will be signing autographs at The Great Escape in Madison, TN on September 10th from 1 to 3 PM during their big Sidewalk Sale. He'll also be selling his Limited Edition WWE Jakks figure. More info about his figure can be found at www.hillbillyjim.com . The Great Escape Madison's phone number is (615) 865-8052.
 
Former TNA referee Mike Posey signed a WWE developmental deal and was assigned to Deep South. Ray Gordy the son of "Freebird" Terry Gordy has also inked a developmental deal.
 
www.gatewaywrestling.com:   The date and venue has been changed for the Jerry Lynn (training) seminar.  The seminar will now be held in Overland, MO. at the Wild Acres Gymnasium on Friday, September 23rd at Noon.
These changes have been made to accommodate Mr. Lynn and allow more interested parties to attend that were unable to do so otherwise."

The Legends of the Ring convention on October 1st. has confirmed the Steiner Brothers for the day.
