— The MSN TV preview for tonight’s WWE SmackDown: “At Bragging Rights, what provoked the vicious attack of Rey Mysterio by Batista?”
— Though public reports continue to maintain that Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff will not have indoctrinated creative power under the TNA umbrella, Hogan has been telling friends and wrestling peers something to the contrary.
F4WOnline.com says that Hogan is telling wrestlers he hopes to recruit that, regardless of what is said publicly, he will be calling the shots in TNA–he will have more influence than anyone (including Bischoff), with the exception of Bob Carter, who is the financial power behind the company.
— WWE’s latest Hulk Hogan DVD is still advertised as going on sale in November. It is not clear if WWE will pull the plug on the release.
