Pro Wrestling Newsbits

Tidbits that I picked up on some of the audio shows I have listened to today and some of the stories I have read.

• Wade Keller reported in his PW Torch VIP audio update that Sting was one of the people that knew about Kurt Angle coming to TNA. According to Keller, Sting was introduced to Angle when they filmed Angle in Nashville.
  
  
  • Also according to Keller, Samoa Joe will headline a Pay Per View against Angle by February at the latest.
    
    
  • According to ICP on today's Howard Stern Show, they are headed to Orlando to do something for TNA.
    
    
  • PWInsider.com reports that Scott Steiner and TNA are working out money issues and that is why he hasn't been on the shows lately.
    
    
  • Dave Meltzer reported today that Kurt Angle's deal with TNA is not exclusive and that there is still talk of him doing MMA in 2007.
    OCC: I think he would be insane to try and do both. But, I already think he's insane.
    
    
  • Also according to PWInsider.com Team 3D will be returning to TV tonight as well and will possibly return to feud with Abyss and Runt.
    
    
  • Keller again on his audo hotline reported that Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal came up with both the Laxative and blow-up doll concepts. He reported that No Surrender was not booked by Vince Russo at all but by the outgoing regime. He also said that Senshi was not happy about the blow-up doll thing.
    OCC: Senshi is a smart smart man if he was unhappy because as the crowd said: "This is Stupid"
    
    
  • PWInsider.com also reported that Eric Bischoff was backstage at Raw. Apparently, WWE broke the story on their mobile alert system. Also there is a tease that something big will happen in the first 10 minutes of Raw tonight.
    
    Those are some brief newsbits, we'll have more as the day continues.
