    TNA issued the following press release:

    TNA Superstar and World Heavyweight Champion many times over, “The Charismatic Enigma” Jeff Hardy unveiled his sophomore solo album, “Plurality of Worlds,” today. Featuring 10 original songs written and performed by Hardy, and packaged along with lyrics and one-of-a-kind art by Hardy, the record is available for $9.99 as a download/$12.99 hard CD on www.shoptna.com, iTunes and select online retailers today. This album follows Hardy’s first album titled “Similar Creatures.”

    A must-have for industrial rock music and wrestling fans around the world, “Plurality of Worlds” offers listeners an other-worldly experience. With haunting tracks such as the standout “EveryOtherDay,” Hardy delivers a soulful, artistic album that defies convention, much like his signature in-ring high-risk wrestling technique.

    “The songs on my new album represent my personal therapy sessions,” Hardy shares. “This collection is a combination of my soul and personal journal entries all put to music. It is the Plurality of Worlds.”

    Junior Merrill, a longtime friend of Hardy’s, musician and songwriter, co-wrote all of the songs in the album. Additionally, TNA Wrestling Music Producer Dale Oliver co-wrote three of the tracks including “None of a Kind,” “EveryOtherDay,” and “Time and Fate.”

    “Plurality of Worlds,” along with limited-edition, numbered, signed and framed lithographs created from Hardy artwork are the key features of Shoptna.com’s “Black November” sale. An ideal holiday gift for dedicated Hardy followers, fans will not want to miss this one-time chance to own or gift three different Jeff Hardy merchandise bundles featuring items such as Hardy t-shirts, arm bands, dog tags and slap bands.

    About Jeff Hardy: Known as “The Charismatic Enigma,” Jeff Hardy is one of the most popular superstars in professional wrestling. Famous for his exciting, high-flying daredevil acts, Hardy is considered a pioneer of high-risk wrestling. This former World Champion has once again revolutionized his career with TNA. Hardy is best known for his work in tables, ladders and chairs matches where he regularly pushes the limits of professional wrestling. Fans are truly amazed by his undying resilience and commitment to his craft. Hardy famously competed in the second ever Monster’s Ball Match. During this contest at Bound for Glory 2005, Hardy performed his notorious Swanton. From the top of the arena entrance, Hardy landed onto Abyss, who was lying on a table 30 feet below. This is just one of the many examples portraying Hardy’s dangerous wrestling style and disregard for his own personal safety.

  • Cameron Speaks On New Season Of Total Divas, Filming The Show & More

    1

    The following are highlights from a recent interview with one-half of The Funkadactyls tag-team, WWE Diva Cameron:

    What to expect from the upcoming new episodes of E! ‘Total Divas’: “You’re definitely going to see the competitiveness of being in the WWE. There’s only, usually, one spot for the Divas so you can kind of see how being in such a competitive world, seeing how all the girls are trying to basically claw their way to the top. You’re going to see love stories; how the WWE and being on the road so much has an impact on all of our relationships, whether it’s the Divas who have relationships in the WWE or girls like Eva and I who don’t have relationships like that, impacts in both ways. But there’s always going to be drama, that’s for sure. You put seven girls together and it’s bound to be very drama filled, but I can’t give you everything because if I did, I’d ruin it, so you just have to tune in Sundays, after the Kardashians and watch Total Divas.”

    Is it odd having the cameras following you all the time: “I mean, at first, it’s a lot because you have a lot of people invading your personal space but I’m so used to it now and it’s what I do for a living. We’re out in front of thousands and the cameras are in our faces when we’re in the ring or even out of the ring or when we’re doing stuff backstage. So, I actually love it and for me, being a Funkadactyl, it’s two of us and sometimes a lot of fans don’t get to know who we are and now we can have that outlet to be like ‘This is who I am’ and ‘That is who Trinity is’ so you can see a difference in our personalities and it’s nice for the fans to get to know us on an one-on-one basis.”

    Her favorite part in filming the show: “Gosh, there have been so many good times; I’m trying to think. I can’t really think of one in particular. Actually, I do, but it’s going to be coming up in the second half of our first season, so I think you’ll know what I’m talking about when you see it.”

    Her trip to the plastic surgeon on the show and if she felt she made the right choice not getting the implants: “Definitely, I mean I think no matter if you are a woman of if you are male, we all have something about us that we would like to change, you know, and I just feel like this is how we were made and I feel like you should embrace that. I feel that, especially being a role model, that there are a lot of girls out there that feel like the image of what a women should look like should be this crazy, flawless person and we all have imperfections. None of us are perfect, we’re not super human, so whatever way, even if I would have decided to do it, I mean it would have been for my own personal reason not to say oh this is what you should change about yourself.

    But I do feel like I wanted to send a positive message to young girls saying, you know what I’m a role model; not to knock anyone who has ever changed anything about themselves because that’s just their own personal thing and to make them feel comfortable. But in my situation, I just wanted to show young girls that I love myself and I love everything about me but I also want to show thing that I don’t like about myself and say that I have these imperfections but be happy with how you are.”

    Her famous catchphrases from the show and if she’s surprised they’ve taken off: “I mean, it’s strange to think that stuff I’ve said my whole life, for ever and ever and I’d never even realized I had all these catchphrases. I mean I did have a really outgoing personality and have always has these phrases and sayings and pretty much not having a filter when I say things but it’s so awesome because it’s really catching on with the fans on Twitter and Instagram that are like ‘Girl Bye’ or ‘Boy Bye’ and ‘Dabomb.com’, you know what I mean? When I’m out and about shopping and people see me and are like ‘Girl Bye’. It’s so crazy but it’s so cool. SO I’m definitely capitalizing on that.”

    What does she do in her free time: “Oh my gosh, I honestly like to sit on my couch with my dog, Glitty, and watch Family Feud. I love Family Feud and Mystery Detectives, that’s like my stuff right there. It’s actually hard for me to turn it off when I get home, I mean, that’s just me being nice; literally I’m always on the go. Even Vincent will go ‘Babe, just turn it off for a second and just enjoy’ but that’s really hard for me because I want to be successful; to me, I just want to give it 110% and when I’m not working it’s just I love what I do and I want to get better at what I do and I want to show my fans that. So, I’m literally always working, but when I do turn it off and put my phone away, and give him the attention that he needs, that’s what I do. But it’s really hard for me to turn it off, it’s something I really do need to work on because it is really hard.”

    Former WWE Wrestler Escorted Out Of Toronto City Hall (Video), Latest WWE Alumni Addition, Mr. Nanny

    0

    – A video surfaced Thursday showing Toronto Mayor Rob Ford in a rambling rage, using threatening words such as “kill” and “murder.” Former WWE Superstar Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake attempted to speak with Ford at Toronto City Hall, but was escorted out by security after cutting a promo on the embattled mayor while advertising a submarine sandwich.

    Footage from the incident can be seen here.

    – Savio Vega is the latest addition to the Alumni section on WWE.com. The website is branding him as one of the unexpected heroes of WWE’s “New Generation,” and acknowledges his path to the organization through Puerto Rican professional wrestling.

    – AVClub.com has published an article naming the nineteen least essential entertainments from 1993 and Mr. Nanny starring Hulk Hogan heads the dubious list—the movie was shot during Hogan’s hiatus from WWE following WrestleMania VIII.

    The website labels Hogan’s early 1990s outside-the-ring ventures with the following: “Tuba-voiced pro wrestler Hulk Hogan was a ubiquitous media presence throughout the ’90s, trying his hand at everything from music (1995’s Hulk Rules) to restaurants (the terrifyingly punctuated Hulk Hogan’s Pastamania!) despite showing very little talent for anything that didn’t involve leg drops.”

    Former WWE Wrestler Paul Roma Rips Triple H In New Shoot Interview (Video)

    30

    Former WWE and WCW wrestler Paul Roma still harbors ill will toward Triple H, who was buried by the Chief Operating Officer years ago in WWE’s video release spotlighting the Four Horsemen-Triple H questioned Roma’s inclusion in the elite World Championship Wrestling group in 1993, and dismissively referred to him as a “job guy from WWE.” In a preview of his newly released shoot interview with RF Video, the three-time WCW World Tag Team Champion takes aim at “The Game.”

    In response to Triple H’s remarks, Roma says, “If you didn’t take it in your a**, yeah you married the boss’s daughter, I get that. Something’s not right there, that I think we can all agree with. But at the end of the day, you’re not a great f****** worker. You’re not the Ultimate Warrior, jumping up on the ropes. You’re not Hulk f***** Hogan. You’ll never be as big as any of them, or Savage.

    “You could write yourself into every WrestleMania, every year, every six months, you’re in another thing. But at the end of the f****** day, you are who you are.”

    Roma made similar remarks during an interview in 2008, stating, “Helmsley, you suck, dude! You’re married to the boss’s daughter, who’s running the show. You’re gassed up and when you get off the gas, you shrivel and when you’re on the gas, you look like s***.”

    Elsewhere in the preview video, Roma relays stories on Power and Glory, Barry Horowitz, The Rockers, Ric Flair and cheating drug tests.

    – CM Punk & Daniel Bryan def. Luke Harper & Erick Rowan in a Street Fight. This was the main event of the evening, and the crowd ate it up. There were tons of outside the ring spots, weapons used, etc. due to the Street Fight stipulation. Bryan hit the running knee on Rowan and Punk hit the GTS on Harper for the pinfall victory. After the match, Bryan and Punk played with the crowd a bit and that was basically it.

    – Former WWE developmental wrestler Marcus Anthony will be on hand for tonight’s Impact Wrestling taping in Cincinnati, Ohio at Cincinnati Gardens. Without indicating whether he will he wrestle on the show, Anthony wrote on Facebook this afternoon, “On my way to Cincinnati gardens #TNA #Tonight #Sga #Gammapunch.”

    WWE House Show Results (11/6): Belfast, Northern Ireland

    3

    The following are results from the WWE live event in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The event was held on Wednesday, November 6, 2014.

    – Santino Marella def. Fandango in the opening match. This was basically a typical comedy match, with Santino getting the win with The Cobra.

    – Los Matadores def. The Real Americans. Zeb Colter cut a promo before the match. El Torito got the crowd to do some loud “Ole!” chants during the match. Antonio Cesaro did his giant swing for what seemed like forever. The finish came when Los Matadores hit their finisher on Jack Swagger for the 1-2-3. After the match, El Torito gored Colter.

    – Natalya def. Aksana in Divas action. Apparently this match went a bit too long, and the fans started to get restless. In the end, Natalya picked up the submission win with The Sharpshooter.

    – Kofi Kingston def. The Miz. The Miz cut a promo where he basically turned heel. He said that no matter how much he gets beat down, the fans always cheer the guy that is kicking his ass. He said that he is sick of it, and that he will once again be “Awesome.” The match itself was apparently very good, with Kingston getting the pinfall after hitting Miz with his Trouble In Paradise finisher out of nowhere.

    – Cody Rhodes, Goldust & Big E. Langston def. The Shield in a six-man tag-team match. The crowd was on fire for this match, and it turned out to be one of the best matches on the card. The finishing sequence saw bodies flying all over the place, with the pinfall coming when Dean Ambrose rolled up Rhodes and Rhodes reversed it into a roll-up of his own.

    –Intermission–

    – Wade Barrett def. Zack Ryder. This was basically a squash match win for Barrett. Barrett got the pin after hitting Ryder with his Bull Hammer Elbow. The crowd didn’t seem to care one way or the other about this match.

    – Damien Sandow def. Dolph Ziggler in a No Disqualification match. This was apparently another one of the best matches of the evening. Sandow cut a promo before the match about being the “uncrowned champion” of WWE. There were a lot of kendo stick shots and chair shots in this one since it was a No-DQ match. In the end, Sandow picked up the pinfall via his Full-Nelson Slam.

    – Big Show def. Randy Orton by Disqualification in a WWE Championship match. Obviously due to the DQ result, Orton retained his WWE Championship. The DQ came when The Shield ran in and interfered. After the match, Big Show chokeslammed all of The Shield members and then hit Orton with the knockout punch to send the fans home happy.

    Tyson Kidd Speaks On Receiving Support From CM Punk, Getting Married On TV

    8

    The following are highlights from a recent WWE.com interview with WWE Superstar Tyson Kidd:

    On if he’s had to change his in-ring style due to knee surgery: “I originally thought I would, but I’m very, very stubborn. I’d been doing cardio since week six of my rehab, and after two minutes in the ring the day I got cleared, I was done. It felt like I’d wrestled a 30-Minute Handicap Match. I was dying. I mean, this sounds bad, but in terms of my conditioning and my wind, I may as well have been sitting on my couch for eight months.”

    “There’s only one way to train, and that’s being in the ring. And even in practice, it’s not the same as performing in front of a crowd. You’re constantly feeding off their energy and their reactions and trying to feel them out. It’s a different aspect than practicing in the ring on your own. That’s been my limitation. But the only way to improve is to run that tank on empty, and then refill again. If you’re afraid and don’t let yourself get to empty, you’ll never build your conditioning. I learned that from my Japanese trainer, Tokyo Joe, a long time ago. But I’m not going to let my knee alter anything I do in the ring. My move set is part of what makes me unique and there’s no way I’m going to throw that away out of fear.”

    On receiving support from CM Punk: “When I got hurt, before I got the MRI, I was going down to the school at NXT [now the WWE Performance Center] and doing some pre-surgical therapy on my knee. [CM] Punk was down there too, rehabbing his knee. I told him about my MRI, and the same day I got the MRI I went to my doctor, and Punk told me to text him as soon as I was done to let him know how it went.”

    “Punk and I have always gotten along and he’s always been friendly to me. I met him in Ring of Honor on the independent scene in 2003. When he said that workhorse thing, it blew up my Twitter, and now I have people tweeting me every day using #workhorse. That was definitely going through my head the whole time.”

    “I remember thinking, “if my knee is never the same again, but I tried my hardest, then that’s just how it is. But if my knee isn’t the same again because I didn’t try my hardest, then that’s me letting everyone down — including myself.” And that’s just not the kind of person that I am.”

    On being on the Total Divas reality show and having his wedding on TV: “It’s funny. These cameras are in your house and you know they’re there. I don’t know if this because I’ve been in sports-entertainment for almost 18 years now, but after a couple of hours, I honestly forget the cameras are there. The next thing I know, I’m watching “Total Divas” back and I see things like my mom playing with my hair while we’re eating and I’m like, “I honestly don’t remember that happening.” I’m not saying they’re sneaky — I know they’re there — but they’re so good at what they do that you just feel so comfortable.”

    “I love that. It wasn’t being on the road, but I still felt like I was in the mix even though I was hurt, and it made me want to get back out there even more. “Total Divas” kind of fell in my lap. Obviously, it’s Nattie’s story and I’m part of it, but the fact that I was at home injured and was still able to contribute to something within the company meant the world to me.”
