— It’ll be a very busy day today with pre and post WWE Royal Rumble news. Check back in often for the latest updates. It’s going to be a crazy next few days for sure. I’d expect tons of news and rumors, Royal Rumble stats, RAW & SD! **SPOILERS**, and tons more. Sunday-Wednesday will be nuts.
— As noted earlier here on the website, most people were shocked in regards to Donna Goldsmith’s resignation from WWE. We’ll have more on this shortly.
— Last week’s TNA iMPACT! averaged 1.93 million viewers over the course of two hours, which is the third largest average audience in the program’s history. The first hour drew a 1.34 rating before dipping to a 1.23 in the second hour.
— Here are some notes from the TNA Fan Interaction event from yesterday in Manchester from Kevin Malton: The session was superbly organized with Beer Money, Ric Flair, RVD, Mickie James, Rob Terry and Jeff Hardy there. Matt Hardy was there for a few minutes but then disappeared, saying he had to do interviews. The cost was 25 pounds ($39.70) which included a free program (they were selling them for 12 pounds at the show). RVD was exceptionally friendly. Flair was reserved but accommodating to everyone. 300 fans paid for it. Most of the crowd was Males 18-30, far more adults by percentage than at a WWE show. Dixie Carter was very friendly in posing for photos and signing autographs. Most of the matches were standard fare but Chris Sabin vs. Kazarian for the X title and Beer Money vs. British Invasion were both very good.
— Daniel Short shared these notes from WrestleReunion: Paul London showed up. He had a booking elsewhere but it most have fallen through. He was mostly at the NWA Hollywood booth with Candice LaRae, Adam Pearce, Colt Cabana, Joey Ryan and Lance Bravado. Christina Von Eerie was said to be off night’s show. Raven and Christopher Daniels were there. Billy Graham was there and in good spirits telling stories. Edge, who is in Los Angeles this weekend to film retakes for his movie, was staying at the hotel and in and out. He watched the ROH show, in particular the Kings of Wrestling vs. Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin match.
