» In a recent interview with USA Today, Jerry Lawler discussed the American Idol show and said that Ellen DeGeneres would “make a great WWE Diva”. When asked what kind of judge he would be if he was on American Idol, Lawler had this to say: “I would be somewhere between Simon and Howard Stern, I would think.”

» Eric Bischoff is still intent on bringing Jim Ross into TNA as an announcer. After many months of speculation as to what he’d do when his WWE contract expired, Ross signed a short-term extension back in December and is expected to be with WWE through mid-2010. That said, the face of the pro wrestling industry is sure to change this year, with TNA going to Monday nights on March 8th, so who knows what the future holds. It should also be noted that TNA pushed hard to recruit the WWE hall of famer for iMPACT!’s three-hour live show on January 1st.

» With that being said, Mike Tenay, who has been with TNA since day one, is said to be paranoid over his position with the company due to the fact that people within the organization have attempted to recruit Jim Ross as his replacement. Although it should be noted that Tenay is considered by many in the company to be paranoid in general, but the company’s shift in power has made him more leery than usual.
