Snoop Dogg Takes Malice to WWE
As Malice In Wonderland is set to drop December 8, what better of an opportunity and outlet than Raw for the rapper to expose fans to his upcoming project. The night was filled with the sounds of his track “Gangsta Love” featuring The Dream.

Rumor Mill - Former ROH Wrestler TNA Bound?
*Possible spoiler*
Prowrestling.net is reporting that former Ring of Honor Champion Nigel McGuinness is backstage at the TNA taping in Orlando, Fla. Although Nigel and ROH officials indicated that he had agreed in principle with WWE, it appears he has opted to sign with TNA instead.
There has also been some buzz that Bryan Danielson might be TNA-bound as well, but nothing is official. The early talk is that WWE dragged its feet on signing the duo, so TNA swooped in and signed Nigel.

The smackdown came from someone who was actually watching the wrestler's back -- Lauren Dienes-Middlen. She's vice president of intellectual property at World Wrestling Entertainment, the Stamford, Conn., company that owns the trademark. WWE notified MySpace, which terminated the account immediately.
