Stacy Keibler - Discussing a WWE return, TNA, more
11/11/2009
Former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler recently gave an exclusive interview to Kevin Eck of the Baltimore Sun. During the interview, she had a lot to say about current TV ventures, a possible WWE return, TNA, and much more.
You just did an episode of “Psych” [USA Network], right?
Yes. We don’t have an air date, but I believe it airs sometime in 2010. That was another amazing experience. My character is into extreme sports, so I’m white-water rafting and rock climbing. It was shot in Vancouver, which was gorgeous. I also just did a photo shoot for a magazine called Kurv, which is an Australian magazine. It’s a whole 1940s look. I’m sure they’ll be posted on the Web somewhere.
Has anyone from WWE contacted you about guest hosting the show?
No one has contacted me. I actually had my management contact them, and nobody ever got back to us [laughs]. So I guess they’re not interested.
Has TNA reached out to you at all? I know you know some people there – Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley. Would you have any interest?
The organization hasn’t, but Mick and I talk regularly. They haven’t contacted me to do anything, plus I still have my deal with ABC, so I wouldn’t be able to do anything like that.

Jim Cornette: Dixie Carter the "money mark"
11/11/2009
Former TNA creative team member Jim Cornette has taken to the world wide web to post a blog aimed directly at Dixie Carter. Here's what Jim had to say about his former boss becoming an on-air character in TNA: -
Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara have obviously gotten behind Dixie Carter and said, 'Hey, you're the boss. You need to be on television, boss. We need to get your makeup fixed up and put you on TV so that you can tell everyone that you're the only female promoter in professional wrestling and that you're making a mark and that everything is going to be different and TNA is going to the next level.
It never fails, that's exactly what you always do when you've got a money mark that is starting to not see things your way, you put them on television and make them a star. So what does she do, not knowing any better, because let's face it, it's not vindictive, Dixie Carter doesn't know anything about the wrestling business. She doesn't know better than to not do these things. People are telling her to do these things and making them sound like they make sense when they don't and everybody knows it.
Small Update on ODB's TNA Contract
11/12/2009
The Pro Wrestling Torch is reporting that as reported earlier, reigning TNA Women's Knockout Champion ODB recently inked a multi-year deal with the organization. Her contract renewal with the organization actually came as a surprise to friends as she had been discussing jumping to World Wrestling Entertainment when her previous contract expired in mid-November. She had been telling people the past two months that she didn't think management even realized her contract was coming due because no one had mentioned it to her.
More on why TNA released Sojournor Bolt
11/12/2009
Ewrestlingnews.com is reporting that it was reported last week that Sojournor Bolt's future with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling appeared to be in doubt. According to sources, she was released by the organization this past week as they opted against renewing her contract.
Further confirming her departure from the organization, her photo gallery was removed from the company website's Knockouts section last night. However, her profile remains on the roster page. The reason for this is because the company may opt to continue using Sojo on a pay-per-appearance basis, so there is a good chance we haven't the last of her in the six-sided ring.
The veteran women's wrestler had been sparingly used since Dutch Mantel's departure from TNA this past summer and the feeling was her days in the company were numbered.
Quote of the Day: Beth's Lingerie Advice
11/13/2009
Former WWE Women's Champion Beth Phoenix recently gave some friendly advice on how to pick out lingerie for loved ones. Here's what the Glamazon had to say: -
You only wear the darn thing for like 30 seconds, so who cares how it feels? When purchasing intimates a man should pay close attention to the fit. If lingerie is too tight it can make even the thinnest women look out of proportion. I enjoy lingeriediva.com's sexy garmet selection. Just make sure to delete it from your browser's history file, or she might get the wrong idea..
And in other Beth-related news, be sure to tune into SmackDown! tonight to see her squash another poor soul.

Small Tara/Kim Couture Update
11/15/2009
Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports... There are said to be no plans as far as a confirmed date to do a match between Tara and Kim Couture in TNA. Couture has a fight coming up on November 20 leaving her unavailable for a match at the Turning Point PPV this Sunday night in Orlando, FL. We're told there is no word at this time how they plan to follow it up other than the original "shoot" idea. There is said to be some realization in the company that it didn't create the buzz they had hoped for (with the exception of a small mention on ESPN.com). Both Couture and Tara told MMA websites that it was a shoot and not planned. Vince Russo was at the scene directing it when TNA was filming.
Kristal Lashley/TNA Update

Quote of the Day: Michelle's Massage Advice
11/15/2009
Current WWE Women's Champion Michelle McCool has some practical advice on how a man should spend his money on his woman. Here's her advice on massage therapy for couples: -
Couples massages are bizarre. Cut yourself out of the equation; the money you'd shell out for two of you can be better spent on a day that's all about her. I like searching spafinder.com for pamper-filled getaways at top-notch locales. The site's been around for a while, so its database is extensive, and you can even search for discount deals that fit your budget.
Be sure to order the Survivor Series PPV next weekend as it will feature Michelle's team squaring off against a group led by Mickie James.
