Rob Zombie Making Wrestling Movie
Rob Zombie is working on a new movie entitled 'Tyrannosaurus Rex', which is loosely based on his comic book series called 'The Nail'. Here is the synopsis for the comic book series:
Small-time pro-wrestler Rex Hauser (a.k.a. The Nail) makes a living touring the small-town wrestling circuit with his family. ItÆs business as usual for this close-knit bunch until they unwittingly cross paths with a murderous gang of Satanic bikers. But these aren't your run-of-the-mill devil worshippers. In fact, Hauser and his family just might be up against the most un-Godly evil ever known to man.

Rumor Mill - Ron Killings
WWE rarely use characters created elsewhere, but in Ron Killings' case he will be using "the Truth" name as TNA didn't copyright it. The storyline idea is to have him cut "truthful" promos or shoots as part of his gimmick, touching on Taboo subjects.

Chris Jericho Interview
Q. Chris, you just wrestled Triple H on this past Raw in what I thought was an extremely smooth match, I thought it was great...What’s it like working with The Game?
A. It’s great, I mean, I haven’t worked with Triple H on a single match, probably since 2003, maybe, we did quite an intricate program at the time. It was great to get back in the ring with him. He’s a tremendous performer and he’s got a lot of great ideas and he is, you know, like you said, very smooth and it was a lot of fun. And we wanted to have a good match, we didn’t want to give away too much because you know there’s a lot in the can that we can do in the future, especially considering the amount of actual, legitimate, top guys in the business right now so we did the match just as kind of just a quick, little thing, as a little bit of a teaser. It’s funny, once again people complained "They gave away this match for nothing; they gave away this match for free." We didn’t give away anything, we did, I think, it was a seven minute match. That’s like giving it, it was a teaser, it was a little bit of a trailer to say "Remember these two guys exist, here’s a little bit of the chemistry that they have, so stay tuned for future developments," so I think it was mission accomplished all across the board. It was fun, I enjoyed it...More?
