Have they said who will induct the Rock n Roll Express into the Hall of Fame? Hardy would be good for that.

(Alittle "Paul Titan Update") I started training and competing in Strongman events again (the guys pulling trucks and pressing logs on ESPN) The match was actually the day before a competition and I cut weight to compete in a lower weight class. So basically I cut 11 lbs in 3 days, did the match with Swoggle, got a couple hours of sleep, injured myself in the contest.... and still placed third. ![]() Ironically enough, at the show with Swoggle, Jeff Jarret was there too. He was really nice, we talked some, and he said to "get some stuff together" and go to bat for me to get a tryout in TNA (so if I do get a tryout, I'd have EC3, Snow and Jarrett all pulling for me) So I'm training and polishing some in ring stuff up right now. There's a strongman competition in June I have a very good chance of winning. My idea is win the competition, then send the stuff in so I have more accolades to my name, which should help my chances in getting signed. |

Just, uh, have a lawyer look over the contract so you don't give up 10% of everything else you earn. You thought about getting down to Florida for one of the NXT tryouts? |

"Supposedly" Dixie had promised the talent huge paydays and their pay scale was unreasonable for a company that wasn't making that money back. For Mike Bennett, Dixie paid him $250,000 a year, plus what they were paying Maria, which is a HUGE paycheck for someone who just got to the company (and isn't a household name to wrestling fans). Anthem's justification is basically, take that money, find 3 or 4 guys for that price, and advertise those guys instead of paying one guy a quarter million a year. From a business standpoint, if you can get rid of one Mike Bennett and get three "Paul Titans" out of it (indie guys who are young, athletic, good workers that you can mold for the next 10 years) and spend the rest of that quarter mil on advertising your new stars.... why wouldn't you? |

Maybe the Hardys go into the WWE hall of fame now. I have zero interest in watching them wrestle though.

Galloway just posted an interview saying that he didn't leave TNA because of money problems, that he chose to leave on his own accord. |

Add another one to the list of the departed as Jade is currently rumored to be leaving the company. Nothing official yet but Twitter and several dirtsheet sites are reporting she's leaving.
If she doesn't show up during the upcoming set of tapings, pretty much confirms the rumors. Quote:

RUMOUR - Jeff Hardy has been offered an identical contract to Jericho's with a massive push. But he will only sign with Matt.

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Hardys are currently in early contract talks with the WWE for a possible return.

I think Matt, "#BROKEN" or not could be tremendous in the Cruiserweight Division "vee-uhh 2!". As for Jeff, he could be amazing as US title contender/holder, main event picture guy, or if they're really feeling like rolling the dice, perhaps even Universal Champion long down the road.
I'm reticent to say they should just be stuffed into the tag division on either brand, because I think fans want to see newer teams and not names that would seem like another nostalgia act that gets thrown in for a huge pop and governess at first only to have them vanish à la The Dudleys. I also don't think they'd benefit from 50/50 booking there or even contending for or holding either show's tag belts. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't feel like that would be a good look for them. |

I don't think Matt fits in the cruiserweight division at all. Weight-wise or style-wise.

Would be a bigger weight drop than the last time he went after the Cruiserweight title. Might be possible with a mustard diet.

Got me thinking they could do a post-Mania draft where each brand can bring in "non-contracted" guys and NXT call-ups. Potentially you'd have The Hardys and Shelton Benjamin if he's healthy now, how are contracts looking for Lucha Underground guys? You could look at Johnny Mundo/John Morrison or a return for Mystrerio. Throw in some of the UK guys. Plus the likes of Nakamura, Roode, The Revival, DIY, etc. gives you a decent talent pool from which to draw. Add in 2 inter-brand picks to freshen up the roster but not move too many pieces around.
