– Christian is off television because he is recovering from recent shoulder surgery. No word on how long he’ll be out of action.

– WWE and All Japan Pro Wrestling have reached some sort of business partnership. All Japan has been in bad financial shape and was seeking investors to support the company’s operations.

– TNA recently released Mark Haskins, who was signed earlier this year after impressing management during a European tour. He was scheduled to be part of Destination X, but they decided against using him and he was almost never used by the company.

– TNA is running a live event tonight from Salem, VA. Since tonight is also Impact, the show from Salem will be very light on talent, with Mr. Anderson, Chavo Guerrero, Eric Young, Mickie James and Gail Kim billed as the top names appearing.

– With TNA’s Aces & Eights storyline building to a climax in the coming weeks, there is a strong chance that Jeff Jarrett will be revealed as the group’s leader. Jarrett has a built-in storyline as to why he’d be against TNA management, since Dixie Carter removed him from power, Sting fired him and Hulk Hogan has taken over as the General Manger of Impact.

Jarrett originally took time off from TNA to focus on Ring Ka King and TNA’s planned project for the Speed Channel, but since neither of those are going anywhere at this time, the door is open for Jarrett’s return.

Jeff Hardy’s Main Event Push In TNA, Bound For Glory Movie Theater Info

– Bound for Glory will be airing in 113 theaters across the United States on Sunday, October 14th. The pre-show will air live at 7:30pm (EST) prior to the PPV.

– There are a few reasons why Jeff Hardy won this year’s Bound For Glory Series and got the main event spot against Austin Aries at TNA’s biggest show of the year. Aside from the fact that Hardy’s contract is expiring in February and TNA wants to keep him happy, Hardy’s drawing power is considered the main factor.

TNA expects Hardy to drive pay-per-view and movie theater sales for the show – and many more mainstream fans are willing to throw down money for Jeff Hardy (over James Storm, who was also in the running for the main event spot). TNA is also hopeful that merchandise, live event ticket sales and television ratings will go up with the company building a major program around Jeff Hardy.

As reported earlier this week, Impact Wrestling will remain live on Spike TV each week through December, except for a few weeks when the show will be pre-taped due to holidays.

There has been no official announcement made by Spike TV, but the current plan is for Impact to run live through early 2013.

Impact’s ratings have not improved since going live, but Spike TV is said to be pleased with the show and sees Impact as being a strong lead-in to their 10pm (ET) MMA programming. Currently, Spike airs MMA Uncensored immediately following Impact. In January, it’s expected that Spike’s Bellator MMA promotion will have a show that will air in that post-Impact time slot.

The September 6th episode of MMA Uncensored featuring an appearance from former WWE superstar Batista drew 669,000 viewers – nearly triple what the show usually does. Aside from Batista’s own drawing power, the rating is partially being credited to viewers of Impact tuning in.

They were given no names—the on-screen graphic simply identified them as “The Lesbians.” The two young ladies proceeded to kiss each other deeply and strip down to their undergarments in front of the audience. Bischoff them summoned the enforcer tandem Three Minute Warning, who proceeded to assault the two young women into unconsciousness.

The official WWE website announced Tuesday that John Cena underwent surgery to remove bone chips in his elbow. Dr. James Andrews removed several pieces of bone cartilage from Cena’s elbow through a scope. He went home to Tampa, Fla. and immediately began rehab.

WWE initially stated that it would likely take four to six weeks for Cena to recover from a surgery of that nature before changing it to “two to three weeks.” Cena tweeted an update on his recovery status Wednesday afternoon disputing the company website’s second report.

“Some #jackwagon from @wwe dotcom apparently posted me recovering in 14 days,” Cena wrote. “I spoke in depth with my surgeon Dr James Andrews And he specifically told me due to the amount of fragmentation, SIX WEEKS is a safer time table for recovery. I apologize on behalf of a Website whos credibility is now equal to #theonion please @wwe web guys, get your monkey frankin facts straight!

He continued, “You folks have my word i will try my best to get healthy as quick as i can, and im sure i wont stay away from #raw but as of now I am supposed to lay low for SIX WEEKS. I will send surgery photos and video to @wwe so they can see how bad it really was. I am also sure that if @wwe took a second to reach out to the actual surgeon, that Dr Andrews would gladly comment.

Konnan Recalls Odd Backstage Encounter With Kurt Angle

This week on MLW Radio, Konnan talked to co-host Mister Saint Laurent and Court Bauer about a recent backstage encounter with Kurt Angle while the Olympic Gold Medalist was wrestling for AAA at Triplemania. The incident was the result of an earlier MLW Radio podcast in the spring where Konnan had revealed that while he was in TNA, Angle had confided in him that Vince McMahon had tried to lure Kurt back to WWE by regularly sending him flowers. Kurt responded via Twitter vehemently denying the allegations. Fast forward to TripleMania in August, Konnan states:

“Remember when we were talking about Kurt Angle? I was like, hey, cool dude. I even marked out when I heard he was coming to TNA, but give me a break about the flowers thing. People sending him tweets telling him ‘Konnan said you got flowers from Vince’ and he said I was delusional.

“Well he showed up in Mexico for a show, for Triplemania, about a month and a half ago and we hadn’t talked since [the flower controversy]. He came in and literally for like the first three hours he wouldn’t even speak a word to me. He wouldn’t even look at me when I was going over the match. Obviously I’m going to have to tell the guy that he did say [Vince sent him flowers]. Maybe he doesn’t remember it, but we have to squash it because I can’t work like this. And then — I don’t know what happened — but he just totally chilled out. Without me talking to him, all of a sudden he’s very serious, wouldn’t talk or look at me and then the next minute he was alright and like hugging me.”

The new episode of MLW Radio is available for free at MLW.com and on iTunes (search: MLW Radio), along with episodes featuring MVP, The Ultimate Warrior, Billy Corgan and many others.

Jim Ross Blog: John Cena’s Surgery, Lawler’s Replacement & In-Ring Future

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with another blog update, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR wrote about:

John Cena’s Surgery: “Tough hand dealt to John Cena who had surgery Tuesday in Birmingham by Dr. James Andrews. Cena’s been wrestling hurt but is SO much tougher than many of his critics give him credit as they seem to be too busy knocking his in ring style. As a former offensive lineman, and a damn good one, @JohnCena will likely be back closer to two weeks than three if my guess is accurate.”

Jerry Lawler’s Replacement On Commentary: I’m not sure who will sit in for King next week with Michael Cole. It’s a great opportunity for WWE to utilize some names from the past and/or to place some prospective new talent at the announce table … Whoever assists Cole will be in good hands as no one preps as thoroughly as does Michael and hopefully whoever is tabbed will follow Cole’s lead and be thoroughly prepared to work a long, live three hour entertainment program. I’d suggest that who is selected greatly reduce their liquid in take by mid afternoon as sitting in a confined spot for three hours can be, well, anxious. :)”

Jerry Lawler’s Recovery & In-Ring Future: “Jerry Lawler’s recovery process is on going and I have heard no one estimate when he might be back at the announce desk on RAW much less those that are asking if and when he will return to the ring. I do know that if King can wrestle that he will. Jerry is a wrestler first and an announcer second as being a wrestler is what he’s done for 40+ years and I seriously doubt that he’s ready to hang up his boots. Every indy promoter will be frothing at the mouth to book King even more now than before. I’d suggest to all that slow, deliberate steps be taken. ”
