It is reported that plans for ECW to move its tapings to Monday night before Raw have now been dropped. The general feeling is that it was going to be a bad move from the start when discussions started about going through with it as Monday’s tend to be much more stressful than Tuesday’s. In [...]

ECW:
The crowd was hot all night. That new title is horrendous looking. They booed Atlas, but wasn’t into his promo at all. The crowd got hot during Evan Bourne’s match and went absolutely nuts for Matt Hardy. Hardy was way over and the fans were really into the main event.
Biggest Pops:
1. Matt Hardy
2. Finlay [...]

As most would have probably guessed, the Kaz “release” angle is a work. It seems they will be playing off of his recent losing streak and as we reported here, he will also be appearing on the first edition of “Karen’s Angle” this week on Impact to talk about “leaving the company”. In reality, he [...]

The New York Daily News has an article online about CW’s decision to drop WWE to favour a younger female demographic with more shows aimed at them.

William Regal was backstage at the Great American Bash last night and is expected to return in some fashion tonight on Raw.

TNA announced today that they released Kaz, yet he will be finishing up prior obligations, plus he’ll be appearing on Karen’s Angle to discuss his departure. This is obviously a very surprising move if it’s legit, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s a “worked shoot” given his recent push. My sources in the company [...]

There were some inquiries from why Rey Mysterio wasn’t on RAW last monday. The fact is Rey hasn’t recovered from his bicep injury yet. His biceps got infected, and he needed more surgery after the initial.
