- The Slammys are coming back! The December 8 Monday Night RAW will be a
three hour special edition that will feature the Slammy Awards, which are
the WWE equivalent - so to speak - to the Academy Awards. This will be the
fifth edition of the Slammys with the four previous ones held in 1986, 1987
and ten years later in 1996 and 1997. The last two were held on the Friday
before WrestleMania. Categories for the Slammys included in the past 'Best
Hair', 'Best Finisher', 'Best Couple', 'Best Dressed', 'Match of the Year'
and others. The three hour RAW with the Slammys will be held in
Philadelphia, PA.

- PWInsider.com is reporting that former WWE and TNA Women's champion Gail
Kim will be joining the Smackdown! brand once she makes her return.
PWInsider also adds that Kim was backstage yesterday at RAW having
promotional pictures taken and getting some video work done as well for
future use. Kim departed TNA Wrestling in mid August after her contract
expired and couldn't reach an agreement over a new one. 

- Rumors are flying around that Tyson Tomko has signed a new deal with World
Wrestling Entertainment. Tomko was originally released from WWE back in
April 2006 and then made his TNA debut in November of that year helping his
friend Christian Cage. He was cut from TNA at the end of July of this year
and since then appeared a handful of times on TNA without signing a deal.
With Christian Cage set to return to WWE in the next month, Tomko's signing
seems to have a connection as the two were allies during their WWE time and
also in TNA.

- The categories for the Slammy Awards which will be held during the three
hour RAW from Philadelphia, PA., on December have been announced. There will
be ten awards in total which are 'Superstar of the Year', 'Match of the
Year', 'OMG Moment of the Year', 'Diva of the Year', '"DAMN!" Moment of the
Year', 'Tag Team of the Year', 'Best Musical Performance', 'Best Finishing
Maneuver', 'Extreme Moment of the Year' and 'Couple of the Year'. WWE.COM
will be presenting four other awards with the categories being 'Best
Impersonation', 'Breakout Star Of The Year', 'Best WWE.COM Exclusive' and
'Announcer Of The Year'.

 
- THQ has unveiled the artwork for their next WWE game which will be titled
'Legends of WrestleMania' and features photos of The Rock, Steve Austin and
Hulk Hogan in the background with Andre The Giant in the front holding the
logo of the game and underneath Hall of Famers Jimmy Hart and Bobby Heenan
in the ring. The photos are the actual characters from the game rather than
real photographs. "Andre, Hogan, Austin and The Rock represent the breadth
of incredible talent that players can use to relive, rewrite or redefine
history in WWE Legends of WrestleMania," said Cory Ledesma, senior creative
manager with THQ. "In addition, they will have access to dynamic managers,
such as Heenan and Hart, who will play important roles throughout critical
gameplay moments." You can see the cool artwork for the Playstation 3
