I was on vacation for a few weeks, so here's the latest:
WWE NXT
Daniel Bryan reportedly released
because of his
choking of ring announcer Justin Roberts with his tie, breaking an old
post
Chris Benoit rule. REACT: I still hold out hope this is an angle. But it
seems
this is WWE PG giving in to someone like Mattel. Danielson will be back,
though,
I'm sure, even though he's scheduled for independent shows very
soon.
Joe Hennig using the name Michael
McGillicutty.
REACT: Stupid name. What the heck is wrong with Joe Hennig?
Lucky Cannon (Johnny Prime) given his
name because
there are too many John's on the roster. REACT: Now this makes
sense.
Alex Riley is NXT Season 2 favorite. REACT: I agree.

CM Punk makes light of Daniel Bryan's
release by
grabbing Tony Chimel's tie at a house show. REACT: Punk is
classic.
Other WWE news
Ezekiel Jackson (torn quadriceps) a few
months away
from a return. REACT: Much like Vladimir Kozlov, I think Jackson could
be used
better.
Nicole Bass takes long-standing lawsuit to the U.S. Court of Appeals. REACT: Amazing this case is still "out there."
Miami making strong push for WrestleMania in 2012. REACT: It gets my vote.
Jack Swagger marries Catalina White. REACT: Interesting how some of the more now-established guys, including John Cena, have tied the knot.
Edge wants to retire in two years. REACT: He's earned it, and he gets injured a ton.
Vince McMahon wants the Survivor Series now. REACT: I have always loved this pay-per-view, and I would hate to see it die.

Vince McMahon sports two black eyes and
a cut over
one eye that went to his forehead recently. REACT: It's a shame no one
asked him
what happened.
Matt Hardy makes more Twitter comments. REACT: I am never sure when Hardy is serious or just joking.
Live Smackdown show on Oct. 1. REACT: Finally!
Chris Jericho is reportedly getting heat for his new role as an ABC game show host. REACT: Jericho loves to do things besides wrestling. Funny how WWE mentioned it beat ABC in an online battle on Monday's Raw.
Jamie Keyes is new NXT ring announcer. REACT: Shouldn't Kevin Nash get a cutback from this, as she won his valet search?
John Cena admits concussion (story line) but then retracts Twitter comment as he was performing. REACT: The danger of Twitter.
WWE trademarks "The Network." REACT: Bring on the cable network, already.
Zack Ryder suffers concussion on Raw. REACT: That was a nasty powerbomb that Ryder was a part of.
Actress Florence Henderson to host Raw. REACT: Brady Bunch run-in?
TNA Wrestling
Slammiversary PPV reaction: No surprises from Sunday's show, as Rob Van Dam kept his world title against Sting and Mr. Anderson and Jeff Hardy won their tag-team match. Jay Lethal seems to be getting the newest push, as he beat AJ Styles and is way over right now. I'll give Abyss' heel turn a chance before I comment further.

Tommy Dreamer comes in. REACT: Dreamer
has a great
mind for the business and is a good signing. It'll be interesting to see
how he
is used.
Scott Hall done. REACT: Last straw was
the alcohol
incident in a bar. I thought Hall was getting it together. Sad.
Knockout women's division has gone to hell as ODB is gone and there are nine women feuding over two sets of titles. Of those nine, five are battling injuries or have been inactive. REACT: Sad, as this was one thing that WWE did worse on.

Gene Snitsky wants to sign. REACT: I think he would be a good addition.
Jeremy Borash recalls disturbing day at WCW Fall Brawl 2000 with the late Gary Coleman. REACT: If that story is true, Coleman sure was demanding.
New video game features six-sided ring. REACT: Deadlines can do that.
Company wants Reid Flair because Ric Flair will tag along. REACT: Now this is smart business. Saving money for a change, as Ric Flair's dates will be up.
Kevin Sullivan and Paul Heyman coming in? REACT: Heyman would be huge. Sullivan, not so much.
