- Very interesting Tweet from Chikara's Twitter page today. It seems that the Final Countdown Tour will not be limited to just ROH, PWG and DragonGate USA now. The questions now become "When?", "Where?", "Against whom?" and "How fast will SmartMark Video get the order from Holzerman for the show it takes place?" As for the third question, the "very special" part makes the opponent seem almost academic: Mike Quackenbush. However, other people have floated the idea of perhaps Eddie Kingston or Jorge Rivera, both of which would have their own name caché to them. All three would be primo matches though, although the one I'd love to see most is Dragon/Quack.
- Courtesy of F4W Online, it seems Nick Dinsmore getting canned (and yes, Dinsmore got canned, the rumor of Eugene being canned by Dinsmore staying on was debunked) was because he showed up overweight. Part of me wants to say it was his own fault, but at the same time, part of me is sort of raging right now Dinsmore didn't look like a total fatass in his one RAW appearance. I don't know, it's not like Dinsmore was going to be a major player on camera anyway. Still, I find it utterly interesting that he's good friends with Randy Orton and that Orton's pull got the 'E to give him a second chance.
- Remember when Vince McMahon called the Cirque de Soliel troup "gay" during the opening segment of RAW? You didn't? Well, GLAAD did and they're not pleased. Honestly, I hope Vince doesn't apologize for it because not everything deserves an apology. However, he is trying to rebrand the company into something more "kid-friendly", and I don't think stirring up conversation about homosexuality and its merits and demerits is something that should be considered kid faire. Neither is a oiled-up dancing fat guy, but that's just one man's opinion.
