This week in news...August 30th

Several TNA wrestlers have been told that Impact will be going to two hours in October. Fantastic. This is a great thing. Let's hope that it improves the product.

Bryan Danielson has been injured and will not be able to compete in the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Tournament finals. This is a shame. He would have likely gone over here. NWA doesn't mean a whole lot anymore, but that title does. It is still referenced on WWE TV, and holding it could have given WWE a reason to hire him. Adam Pierce, who he beat in the semi-finals will take his place. Let's hope he recovers quickly.

Nick Bollea (Hogan) was in a high speed car accident. His friend was critically injured. Everybody should make it though, so they were lucky. He probably didn't feel so lucky when Hulk got him home though.

Sunny is hot again

Dusty is going to step away from the book probably. This is because he doesn't want a perception that Cody is getting pushed because of him. Gotta respect that. I am torn though, as Dusty as part of a team has seemingly had a positive influence on booking. Nothing lasts forever.

This weeks rumored WWE hires: D-Lo Brown, Matt Sydel and Rosey. Three talented guys. However, they only really need more people if they plan on making ECW two hours. Especially considering they have so many people who are returning from injury in the next few months.

This weeks rumored TNA hires: None of note

Ric Flair looks to be retiring soon. This is good, he has pressed his luck enough, I think. He should quit while he is still performing at a respectable level. No one wants to remember Ric Flair as a broken down old man who won't let go.
