WWE World Heavyweight champion The Undertaker is not expected to retire at WrestleMania 26, despite speculation to the contrary. His surgically repaired hip is still causing him a great deal of discomfort during and after his matches, but he's working through it and receiving regular physical therapy to manage the pain.
There has been speculation that he had hip replacement surgery after WrestleMania, but a well-placed source disputes that rumor. "That's physically impossible to come back that soon" (from hip replacement surgery), the source said.
The feeling is that barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Dead Man is hoping to work his current [reduced] schedule for another two to three years. Even then, after he's had enough of being a full time member of the roster, the belief is that he'll still make himself available for special appearances and the occasional special attraction match.
This morning, Matt Hardy posted several items on his Twitter account regarding his brother Jeff's future. Matt wrote:
"A year or so from now, Jeff will be a bigger star and celebrity than he's ever been-we locked him into a major project this week."
"Nothing is gonna happen to Jeff, he's a victim of a corrupt scam-the truth is coming out, and will come out in it's entirety in the future."
Interestingly enough, the comments have already been removed.
While this news does seem pretty juicy, let's wait and see if anything materializes. Knowing Matt, he'll follow up with an "AHA!" post how we're all idiots for thinking he was talking about Jeff HARDY, when he was actually talking about his neighbor Jeff Jones, who was wrongfully accused of painting his house the wrong color.
Jeff Hardy was arrested back on September 11th after a search of his Cameron, N.C. residence yielded 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 Soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine and items of drug paraphernalia. He was charged with felony trafficking in opium, two counts of felony possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule III controlled substance, felony maintaining a dwelling to keep controlled substance, felony possession of cocaine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
World Wrestling Entertainment has signed former tag team champion Lance Cade to a new contract. He reported to Florida Championship Wrestling, WWE's developmental territory, earlier this week.
Cade, who was trained by Shawn Michaels in Texas, is best known from his tag team with Trevor Murdoch. He had been in the midst of the biggeset push of his career, working as Chris Jericho's second during a feud with Michaels when he was suddenly released in October 2008. WWE announcer Jim Ross reported at the time that Cade was let go after suffering a seizure on a flight that required emergency treatment. The belief at the time was that Cade's seizure was the result of "something he had taken."
Since his WWE release last year, he's been working for the NWA in California as well as in Japan.
According to a very reliable source in TNA Wrestling , the person who attacked AJ Styles on iMPACT this week was former WWE and TNA star Tomko.
As we reported on Tuesday afternoon, Tomko was backstage in Orlando for Tuesday's iMPACT tapings and was expected to appear on camera. From what we've been told, there current plan is for there to be a series of attacks on AJ Styles where the attacker looks like Daniels (bald head) but his face will not be revealed until a further date.
This will likely lead to a match between Styles and Tomko at some point, playing off their long history together in TNA.
There have been a number of backstage altercations in TNA Wrestling over the past week or two. Here's the latest:
- There was a massive edit for last week's TNA iMPACT! as Lacey Von Erich fell flat on her face when she ran to the ring to do a run-in during the Knockouts elimination match. The issues with Von Erich don't end there as she suffered a minor hamstring injury while training at the Impact Zone and made it known all night that she was in pain. She then reportedly told a male trainer to go and get her an ice pack and the guy ended up walking in to see a half-dressed Awesome Kong who was obviously not happy. We're told Kong grabbed Von Erich and took her to the trainers room where she proceeded to cut a promo on her in front of Kurt Angle. When Von Erich went to TNA management to complain, they ended up siding with Kong.
- According to the PWTorch Newsletter, AJ Styles went off on Vince Russo and was frustrated over "what he argued was dismal booking of him early in his run as champion." Styles feels he's been made to look like a weak champion by Russo. Samoa Joe also had some beef with TNA management, but it was not wrestling-related, Samoa Joe complained that TNA blew-off of a commitment to use his friend's catering business at the Bound For Glory PPV in California. Joe complaining about catering .. insert joke here.
- Chris Sabin suffered a concussion at the TNA Impact TV tapings on Wednesday night in Orlando, FL. Sabin's concussion took place during a tag team match between The Motor City Machineguns and Team 3D when Sabin landed awkwardly. Sabin reportedly told people backstage that he was out cold during the match, but somehow regained his composure and finished the finish. We're told Kevin Nash blew up backstage about the incident and was overhead yelling at Team 3D for not killing the original finish as he felt Sabin's health should have been the first priority. Nash felt that as veterans, Team 3D should have made that call on the fly and that someone in production could have given a cue to the referee to end the match. While it probably won't air, Nash did walk out in front of the Impact Zone and cut a promo about how upset he was that the match continued as Sabin was laying on the ring apron. Sabin was said to be feeling much better after the taping had finished. Nash is being praised by other wrestlers with the company for looking out for the safety of his coworkers.

Thought I would answer one Question How do I know Superstar Threads is only on PS3 and X Box:
Because it says on the SVR 2010 website that Superstar Threads is Excusive to PS3 and XBox. Not any other formats because I have played the game on Wii and it doesn't have it.
It does have Storyline Creater on all Formats!!!
