It was also the highest audience for the series on Thursdays on Pop.

While Mike Bennett is working with Moose at Bound for Glory, the eventual program is Cody & Brandi Rhodes vs. Bennett & Maria Kanellis, which will probably be pushed at the post-BFG tapings.

The difference is that WWE registered the name Cody Rhodes and he had no prior usage before WWE. WWE never registered Brandi Rhodes as a name, and she never used that name in WWE, so she can use it anywhere she wants. The clever aspect is that if she’s there as Brandi Rhodes and they do mixed tag feuds, they can bill it and the announcers can say Cody & Brandi Rhodes, with the idea that his ring name is just Cody (which he can obviously use as his real name). The last I’d heard, he was going to just use the name “Cody” when doing television

He finally went to rehab in 2013 and claimed until that point that the drug addictions were ruining his life.

Regal was at the promotion tonight because he was scouting talent for WWE.

If that’s the case it would be splitting up of a couple since her boyfriend, Ryder, is on Smackdown. She’s been out of action since May with back surgery. She wasn’t expected to be back wrestling until around November but has been cleared to perform

According to the GoFundMe’s description, Rico has visited the doctor five times and was forced to stay twice. It also says he has two leaky heart valves, two blood clots, and traumatic brain issues — which they claim is due to his time in the ring.

Constantino is hoping to raise $10,000 in total. At present he has raised $3,467.
Seems like the GoFundMe fundraiser is legit or at least Rico's manager recently gave his approval even though he doesn't know when Rico will actually get the money. Still would rather want people to donate to PayPal since they don't take a cut of the funds generated.


Some other sheet news includes:
  • According to PWI, Ring of Honor will be putting a bigger focus on their Women's division from now on.
  • In a "WWE Did You Know" type fact, next month would have been the end of Bret Hart's original 20 year contract with the WWE. Signed a new deal in October 1996 although rumors of it being worth $1 million a year were debunked.
  • Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer is currently dealing with some online backlash regarding explaining on Twitter why the word "mark" is considered derogatory in the wrestling industry. The main problem was invoking the N word for comparisons on similar derogatory words used within wrestling. Tweet itself was quickly deleted and he apologized for trying to imply both were the same in status. https://abload.de/img/1474653650788ylbdl.png
  • Rumor going around the net involves Seth Rollins possibly getting a new entrance theme within the near future. Musical band Downstait revealed on their official Instagram page they were working on something for Rollins. https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ8j3vphnnk/
  • The Tomorrow Show had a recent interview with DDP with topics including WCW considering him being the one to break Goldberg's streak and leaving almost $500k on the table to break his AOL/Time Warner contract to go to the WWE. http://411mania.com/wrestling/ddp-di...s-streak-more/
