Eric said on the World Wrestling Insanity radio show that he gets many questions on his website about TNA. Many fans want to know if they're the next WCW or if he'll ever go to work for them. Here is what he had to say:
"They have not done anything yet and I don’t even know any of those people except maybe Jeff Jarrett and a handful of talent working there. I don't know anyone behind the (scenes). I don't know Dixie Carter. If she showed up in my driveway, I wouldn't recognize her. I don't know anyone over there. I don't know who's doing what. I really don't care. So it's nothing personal here. I'd like to see them succeed…But the truth is, from what I've seen of their product, no one there really gets it. They're a small independent company that's been getting a 1.0 rating for the last five years. ..They keep trying to pull rabbits out of their hat with talent. 'Oh we're gonna bring in Sting and that's gonna turn the business around! ' Well, they brought in Sting, who's obviously a great talent, and guess what? Nothing happened. And then 'We're gonna bring in Christian Cage. It's a big surprise. He's hot in WWE and we got him and it's gonna turn things around.' Guess what? Nothing happened. Then 'We're gonna bring in Kurt Angle and he's the real deal. Things are gonna turn around!' Guess what? Nothing happened. Nothing's ever gonna happen until they get it."

Eric Bischoff Shoots Hard On TNA Wrestling
Former UFC Champion Royce Gracie's Nandrolone Levels Off the Charts
by Michael David Smith
Royce Gracie was the champion of the first Ultimate Fighting Championship event, and although he no longer fights in UFC, he'll always be a legend of the sport. So when news broke that Gracie tested positive for steroids at his last mixed-martial arts competition, his fans were hoping there was some kind of innocent explanation.
The latest news makes it awfully unlikely that there's an innocent explanation. According to 411Mania, Gracie's nandrolone levels were so high -- above 50 ng/ml -- that the laboratory that conducted the urine test couldn't even get a reading on its calibrator. The scientific explanation:
A normal person could have a level of 2 ng/mL of Nandrolone that the human body could potentially produce and an athlete that has just completed rigorous physical exercise could have a level of 6 ng/mL.
We received a written response from the laboratory's Director of Science and Technology confirming the positive "A" sample and positive "B" sample.
Gracie's PR representatives issued a statement last week saying he doesn't use steroids and noting the possibility of exercise raising nandrolone levels. It will be interesting to see how they explain nandrolone levels that are literally off the charts.

WWE: Is Faking Vince McMahon's "Death" Working?
When the XFL blimp crashed into an Oakland waterfront restaurant in Jan. 2001, I had written it off as some foreboding accident. In the end, it might have been the best $2.5 million (the cost of the damage) World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) --and perhaps its partner, NBC–-spent.

WWE Supplemental Draft and Kayfabe Live!
Numerous Superstars who were left unscathed by the Draft on Raw will now have to brace themselves for new possibilities. The Supplemental Draft, a four-hour event beginning at noon ET on Sunday, will take place right here on WWE.com.
New chatroom, Kayfabe Live! can be accessed here. Please join us during the WWE 2007 Supplemental Draft and during Raw every Monday at 9:00pm ET.
In professional wrestling, kayfabe (pronounced KAY-fayb; IPA: ['keɪfeɪb]) refers to the portrayal of events within the industry as real, that is the portrayal of professional wrestling as not staged or worked. Referring to events as kayfabe means that they are worked events, and/or part of a wrestling storyline. In relative terms, a wrestler breaking kayfabe during a show would be likened to an actor breaking character on camera.

Hated blogger leaves U.S., threatens lawsuits
A failed real estate speculator who created a popular Web site touting his exploits has begun threatening to sue his critics and claims to be in hiding in Australia.
Casey Serin, arguably the world's most-hated blogger, rocketed to Internet stardom after disclosing his pending foreclosures, marital strife and unwillingness to find a job. But the 24-year-old's online fame was hardly flattering: it arose from legions of readers who call themselves "haterz" and frequent his iamfacingforeclosure.com blog to ridicule his financial missteps and urge Serin to pay back up to $420,000 he is said to owe creditors....More?
