More Hayhurst/Triple H Tweets
Dirk Hayhurst posts more tweets about Triple H while plugging his new book, The Bullpen Gospells:
Therapist's said Triple H flipped through the book after I left and had a few chuckles. Don't know about 3H but that made me feel good =)
Saw 3H post surgery, he looked strong all things considered, & Yes, I'm shamelessly using this to plug the NYT best seller I signed for him.
Yes, Triple H's arm was in a sling, but it was still strong enough to hold a copy of my NYT best seller, The Bullpen Gospels.

Rumor Mill - Talent Meeting Held Before iMPACT! Tapings
During a talent meeting held at the TNA Impact Zone in Orlando, FL, Dixie Carter addressed the talent roster and stressed that the wrestlers need to tighten up their in-ring work. She said the wrestlers are essentially spoiled because they benefit from a taped show that can be edited. This isn't the first time that Carter has commented on the need to tighten up the in-ring work, and there's always a mixed reaction from the wrestlers to such comments.
"Guys were fuming," said one TNA source regarding Carter's comments. Carter also hyped the success of the TNA Xplosion television show in Australia, and raved about the Victory Road pay-per-view on Sunday. There was no mention of Paul Heyman during the meeting.
