From http://www.wrestleview.com/ and the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer:
TNA:
-The MySpace page linked to at http://www.whoissuicide.com/ has apparently been hacked as was mentioned on the internet radio show "Wrestling News Live"(last night's show at http://www.wnlradio.com/blog/?p=115). If you go to www.myspace.com/whoissuicide, you'll hear a "Whoo!" from Ric Flair and a different looking page that says "/wooo/ Is Suicide" as well as Randy Orton's theme music, a pic of Flair and an outline of Orton.
-Gail Kim's sister in TNA is played by the daughter of referee Earl Hebner.
-Kurt Angle and AJ Styles worked this past weekend for New Japan Pro Wrestling. Angle teamed with Masahiro Chono to defeat Styles & Shinjiro Ohtani on August 15, while Angle & Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Styles & Hiroshi Tanahashi on August 16.
-Midway Games is reportedly in the early stages of working on the second TNA video game release.
WWE:
-Last Monday, Randy Orton claimed he re-broke his collarbone the day before in a motorcycle accident near his home (in High Ridge, Missouri). Orton claimed his motorcycle struck a curb after a car veered into his lane, causing him to swerve to widen his turn. Orton said he was thrown off the motorcycle and continued to roll 300 feet while unconscious. He landed in a ditch and believes he could have died had he not been wearing a helmet. He said his only injury was to his collarbone, which won't require additional surgery. He will now be out of action an additional three months. Not to say that the motorcycle accident didn't happen, but the entire ordeal does seem suspicious. Thus far, the St. Louis media has yet to report anything on the supposed accident. Secondly, the Missouri highway patrol has no record of responding to any accident involving the WWE Superstar, although they would likely only have to do with the highways. Some people asked the St. Louis police department about the apparent accident, but knew nothing about it when asked. Orton is based out High Ridge, a St. Louis suburb, which is in Jefferson County. Some people called the county sheriff's department line, but it goes to a voice message and then says that the message box is full. Some neighboring jurisdictions that the St. Louis police suggested were also checked, and once again, nobody knew anything about the accident. A few days before the supposed accident, Orton was in the U.K. promoting SummerSlam and said he was two weeks away from returning to the ring.
-Umaga will be out of action for about 4-6 weeks with a torn PCL suffered at a house show in Johnson city, TN last week.
-Tonight on ECW, Mark Henry will take on Matt Hardy in a SummerSlam rematch and undefeated Ricky Ortiz will face a debuting wrestler as part of GM Teddy Long's "New Superstar Initiative". I'll put the results up sometime after the show ends.
-Carmen Electra and Kim Kardashian appear in a scene in the upcoming feature film "Disaster Movie" in which they spoof WWE divas.
EXTRA:
-I found a few great vids from YouTube of wrestling-rlated skits. You can watch them at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h62T5PGxg2o, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYwsPu86CHo and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aik3HZjjjKk&feature=related.
