Before this actually starts, Kevin Von Erich and Michael Hayes set up what the show will cover. While introducing each other to the viewers, Hayes called himself Michael Von Erich.

At the recent WWE show in Minneapolis, MN security was confiscating Ric Flair signs.

According to SmackdownvsRaw.com/images/roster/heroes/RicFlair.png, Ric Flair will be a character in the 2009 Smackdown vs. RAW video game.

TNA put out feelers through Hermie Sadler about Ric Flair coming in. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Flair signed a one-year non-compete clause when he got his WWE release as it pertained to working for TNA in specific.

The new Spin Cycle is up on the TNA website with A. J. Styles, Alex Shelley, Taylor Wilde, and Curry Man talking Sting vs. Samoa Joe, Sarah Palin, and O.J. Simpson. Next week's show will have Terry Taylor, Vince Russo, Pat Kenney (AKA Simon Diamond), and Glenn Gilberti (AKA Disco Inferno).

Mick Foley has been added to the TNA roster on their website while Frank Trigg and Kevin Nash has been removed.

Sting has agreed to stay with TNA through 2009, although it is believed to be only a verbal agreement at this time.

For a limited time, starting October 10th, there will be a movie out in theaters called "Andre: Heart Of the Giant". This is a drama, not a documentary. It stars Matthew McGrory and Roland Kickinger. You can learn more by going to AndreHeartOfTheGiant.uber.com.

The Honky Tonk Man updated his fans about his injured index finger: "The therapy is coming along very slowly. The right index finger was broken and I never knew it. It healed in a bad position with the main tendon being covered in scar tissue from the cut across the finger thus causing severe pain and very limited movement."

GPCW co-owner J. D. Richards sent a message to Oklafan last week saying that the fed will run their next show in late November.

TCB owner Earl Kennedy was in a car accident on Saturday night and nearly rolled his car. He says he is very sore but he will be fine. Oklafan wishes him a speedy recovery.
