According to TNAWrestling.com, Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger will appear in a press conference Thursday with Jim Cornette concerning Sting's upcoming match at the Bound for Glory pay-per-view.
The two men are close friends with Sting, who has often lobbied for chances for his associates, no matter their past. Both Bagwell and Luger recently appeared as possible partners for Sting against the team of Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner, a match that eventually involved Samoa Joe.

Wrestleview.com has reported the following:
The following was issued by the United States Marshals Service yesterday in regards to the arrest of former WWE star Rikishi:
U.S. Marshals Task Force Arrests Professional Wrestler for Civil Contempt. Pensacola, FL - The United States Marshals North Florida Violent Fugitive Task Force arrested Solafa Fatu Jr., aka “Rakishi”, at 12 noon today after a vehicle stop on Highway 98 near the Naval Hospital. The 41 year old, 6 foot 2 inch, 400 pound wrestler was taken into custody without any resistance. A Federal District Judge for the Northern District of Florida issued a warrant for his arrest on September 1st of this year, after Fatu failed to appear at a show cause hearing, carrying a charge of civil contempt. Originally, the U.S. Marshals Office in Pensacola repeatedly attempted to locate Fatu to serve him with a civil subpoena but was unable to find him. The Task Force’s investigation eventually led them to discover he was in Italy during that period and touring with a newly formed Italian wrestling organization, the NU-WRESTLING Evolution (NWE). The investigation revealed that it appeared as though Fatu returned several weeks ago. Once the Task Force learned that, they started searching for him again locally. “Despite his size and the persona that goes with his profession, he (Fatu) was a gentleman,” said Marshals spokesman Dominic Guadagnoli.Fatu, who has appeared under numerous other names throughout his career, first came to fame in the 1980’s when he wrestled in the WWF as a part of the Samoan Swat Team. He has wrestled with all of the top names in the sport some such as Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Steve Austin and Triple H to name a few. Fatu claims to be related to other famous wrestles such as The Rock, The Tonga Kid, Jimmy Snuka and Yokozuna. Fatu was remanded to Escambia County Jail until his hearing in federal court.
Less than 24 hours removed from TNA's huge announcement, how did WWE's flagship show respond? Well, with nine matches, an appearance from a blast from the past, and a SmackDown invasion?

WWE.com is reporting that former general manager Eric Bischoff is backstage at RAW and will "hopefully" appear on the show. Advertisements airing on Spike TV are telling viewers not to miss the first 10 minutes of the show.
Bischoff was last seen as a regular character when he was "fired" by Vince McMahon as GM on December 5, 2005. He was mentioned and shown in the crowd at the most recent WWE Hall of Fame ceremony when Sherri Martel brought him up. He also recently signed a book deal for WWE to put out his story.
On the other major wrestling story, TNA President Dixie Carter released the full statement from Kurt Angle at TNAWrestling.com, saying Kurt himself wrote the words, not his agent. In the company's press release (see previous post), only a portion of the statement was used. This is Angle's statement in its entirity:
"Being with TNA feels like I have finally found my home. I had fun in WWE at certain times, but I was never really happy. Now being a part of TNA, I know I have a purpose. I feel like I am part of history, part of a company that is not only on the rise – not only going to be the number-one watched wrestling show in the world within a short period of time – but TNA gives me an opportunity to spread my wings. This company has no limits to where it can go. The sky is the limit and the main reason is because they brought the “real” back into wrestling and that is a perfect fit for the greatest wrestler in USA Olympic history. I have room to grow here and to help TNA grow. Working for these caring and very giving employers of TNA makes me feel like I have a purpose and that the sky is the limit. I don’t feel trapped or held back like I did the first six years in my tenure with the other company. They held me back. Now, our wonderful audience will see the real Kurt Angle doing what I love to do – real wrestling – and that’s what puts a smile on my face each time I come to work. I even smile when I think about it. TNA will be the most watched television show on cable television. It’s only a matter of time. Now, I get the opportunity and privilege of being a part of it. Thank you TNA for saving my career, my life and my desire to do what I love. I will be here in some capacity for the rest of my life. That’s real…that’s damn real."
At the No Surrender pay-per-view, in addition to announcing TNA's move to primetime (9pm) on Thursdays starting November 16, the promotion made the shocking revelation that Olympic gold medalist and former multi-time WWE champion Kurt Angle will be part of the TNA roster.
Angle was recently released by WWE after major fears that Angle would cause himself permanent physical harm by competing despite injuries. Angle had expressed interest in competing in mixed martial arts over the last few days.--DJ Fully's Instant Reaction
--Krazy Kory's Next Day Reaction--DJ Fully's Next Day Reaction
Angle, a 2-time NCAA Division I champion and a 3-time NCAA Division I All-American, capped off his illustrious amateur career by winning a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Olympics, competing with two cracked vertebrae, two herniated disks and four pulled muscles.
“Being with TNA feels like I found my home,” Kurt Angle commented. “TNA will be the most watched show on cable TV – it’s just a matter of time. Thank you TNA for saving my career, my life and my desire to do what I love.”
Will DJ Fully be watching No Surrender Sunday? Hells NO! Hear the DJ go off on the once-pleasure-filled promotion that now causes him great pain, and why TNA's PPV is not A-OK in his opinion. Listen, then LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS ON TNA!
The frustration continues from DJ Fully as TNA puts on yet another "blah" show in his mind. What will the DJ spin his wheels about this week? Pretty much the same-old same-old...which is the problem for him.

A pair of talents are making their returns to WWE, according to the company's website.
Henry O. Godwinn, a former WWE tag champ, has been rehired by the WWE. Godwinn cracked a vertebrae back in 1998, then further injured his neck, requiring major surgery. He's quoted as saying a recent visit to a SmackDown show pushed him to make his return.
Too Cold Scorpio will also be making a return to World Wrestling Entertainment. Scorpio is a former holder of the ECW Television Title, along with both WCW and ECW's tag belts. He competed as Flash Funk in then-WWF, and has recently been working in Japan.
It is not known what brand either superstar will be put on.

As reported on various news sites (but not as of this posting at TNAWrestling.com), Vince Russo has been hired by TNA to head up their booking team.
Russo was a writer and on-air personality for TNA during the days of their weekly pay-per-views, and notably feuded with Jeff Jarrett and AJ Styles. He was also the head of the Sports Entertainment Xtreme (SEX) faction for a time.
Russo's writing is considered one of the main reasons for then-WWF's resurgance in the late-90s, though his work in WCW was not well received.
As for the much-talked about major announcement TNA is promoting for the No Surrender pay-per-view, news sites (many of which are linked on this page) are reporting that Russo is NOT the surprise. Rumors continue to run rampant as to that announcement.

Courtesy Wrestleview.com:
"As reported earlier, WWE has officially released Marty "The Boogeyman" Wright from the company. Wright was part of the Smackdown brand and had been out since WrestleMania 22. Reasons behind his release have now become public. While out of the ring since April, Wright had been rehabbing leg injuries and was reportedly close to being ready to return to action this month. WWE management were said to have been unhappy with his commitment to return to the ring, with the general feeling being he was doing the bare minimum to get back in shape. In addition, there were said to have been numerous issues with Wright not checking in with doctors when he was scheduled to do so. He had been warned a few times about his conduct, but despite the warnings he made no effort to change his behavior and was then let go by the company. As noted before, Wright was scheduled to return to Smackdown sometime this month as promos began airing on Friday Night Smackdown pushing his return. When they stopped airing, some people were wondering why. Now we know. (Source: Dave Scherer @ PWInsider.com)"
WWE.com is reporting that the three WWE brands will compete in a match at the 20th Survivor Series. Details are not being released as far as what the match will be or how many people will compete.

This rec-DOT-commendation from the DJ is a simple one. WWE.com followed Trish from just before her match to minutes after it, taking pictures of her last night as a WWE Diva. It's just 19 photos, but I think it's a great reminder of why Trish is the greatest women's wrestler of the modern era, and likely, of all time.
