Chris Jericho To Sing On Michael Jackson Tribute Album, Forbes Looks At Bray Wyatt

– Chris Jericho will be singing the classic Michael Jackson song “Dirty Diana” on an upcoming metal tribute album to the late King of Pop. The album, “”Thriller – A Metal Tribute To Michael Jackson” hits stores on October 22nd. Form ore information, visit Amazon.com.

– Forbes.com has an interesting article up looking at WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt. Author Cedric Mohammad writes:

“Wyatt is the possible culmination of what I call the Dissatisfaction era which finds CM Punk (‘The Voice of The Voiceless’) and Daniel Bryan (the Underdog) as co-leaders.”

“But Wyatt can go further because the juxtaposition is not just to that of the popular ‘good guy’ character (John Cena) or abusive corporate power (the McMahon Family) but rather to an entire epoch leaving so many of us behind. He’s competing with society and culture not the preferences of a Big Business.”

“What makes Wyatt an enigma is that the dissatisfaction which his character, music and message tap into can come from a variety of sources: economic recession, technological advance or cultural decay. Even the political malaise of a government shutdown gives Bray Wyatt fertile recruiting ground.”

On her current status with TNA: “I mean I really don’t know. I’m not at liberty to say. I’m sure people can figure it out.”

On the difference in TNA running Impact Wrestling on the road and in Orlando: “Obviously there’s a huge difference. When we were in Orlando, you had vacationers but typically we had the same audience, the same hardcore audience that would come to every taping. I mean that was a cool factor but now being on the road, it’s different, the fans feel like they’re part of the show because it’s in their hometown, they’re gonna get a chance to get seen on TV ya know. I think it’s a great difference. You can see the energy of the show has changed, watching on TV and live, it transforms you as a performer. You feed off it I think.”

On the comparisons between her character in WWE in 2005 and the present-day AJ Lee character: “You know I’ve heard that and I’ve seen that. I feel like they’ve done it a bit different which is good because obviously you don’t want to do it the same.I did get a chance to see her segments with Stephanie backstage and things people have Tweeted me whether it’s mashups or different things. It’s a cool thing. Obviously we did something right the first time or you wouldn’t want to do it again with a different angle.”

To hype the angle, the official TNA website has published a “video history” of Hulk & Dixie’s rocky on-air relationship. [View Here]

Since this week’s Impact Wrestling episode is all about Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter facing off in the ring, TNA’s website has been pushing a lot of videos about their past together to build to the angle, which may end up being Hogan’s final appearance for the company.

– Former TNA performer Brooke Hogan was recently interviewed by Athens Online and said she’s been in Athens, GA to film a” paranormal reality series” called, Weird America.

“I’m actually personally interested in this show because I have a little bit of history with a psychic background, kind of a sixth sense-type thing,” Hogan said. “I’ve had a few different experiences in my life that have made me a little bit more curious, and I want to find out more about it.”

She also mentioned that she’s been in Nashville, Tennessee recording new music.

– TNA has published the following video hyping that “Ethan” is coming to Impact Wrestling:

There is some speculation that the Ethan that’s coming to TNA is independent wrestler Ethan HD, who wrestles for Championship Wrestling From Hollywood. While we can’t confirm that Ethan HD is headed to TNA, he’s certainly playing into the rumors. Last Thursday, the night the first “Ethan Is Coming” video aired on TNA Impact Wrestling, Ethan HD tweeted:

“…and I’m just sittin’ here whistlin’ Dixie.”
