One story making the rounds over the last 24 hours is that Jeremy Borash and Josh Mathews did voiceovers for last night's episode that were discarded. That is incorrect. Impact usually does voiceovers on Wednesdays for the episode that airs the following night on Pop TV as a way to keep them as fresh as possible. When Borash informed Impact he was leaving for WWE, only last week's episode had been voiced over. Last night's episode was done with Mathews and Dutt this week. The later episodes that will air from the most recent set of TV tapings have yet to be voiced over.

When the new team became in charge, those talks turned to him returning as an in-ring talent. Aries said he didn't feel pressure being the nucleus of the company as they try to rebuild. He said that one of the aspects of the return that interested him was the ability to continue to work independently and go off to different companies and "collect belts."

Thus, Rey's debut was canceled. That explains why we heard travel was set at one point. There was hope of trying to get him to debut in April at the TV taping, but with Mysterio making it clear that he and WWE are in a courtship phase of trying to work something out, he obviously won't be coming into Impact unless something falls through with WWE. The big sticking point with WWE and Rey is that they want him back full-time, but he, at 43 and with an infinite number of knee surgeries under his belt, wants to work part-time.

It could be that WWE is filming a pilot for the WWE Network. As previously reported by PWInsider.com, there was a pilot filmed for a R-Truth hosted game show that was originally set to go forward, but was then canceled.

The 6 million views would have probably been as of the end of the day on Wednesday. Regardless, that means that the average person only watches two minutes of the 20 minute broadcast

It was noted that they might have been in there to work an angle to build to a match between the two at WrestleMania.

Jeff Hardy has been out of action since undergoing surgery for the same injury last October. The timetable for a return from the surgery is usually 6-8 months.
