The Wrestleline Report-05-15-09
The UK TNA show entitled 'TNA Epics' debuts tonight and is hosted by Mick Foley. The show reflects on the early days of the company, mostly in Nashville.
TNA announcers Mike Tenay and Don West recently took a shot at WWE while shooting a Slammiversary travel package spot, stating they don't believe WWE embraces fans like TNA does. Yeah, WWE doesn't have to like TNA does either. They did not actually use WWE by name, but it was implied.
There's a wrestling documentary in the works called the Bloodstained Memoirs. Wrestlers featured on the documentary are Chris Jericho, Mick Foley, Rob Van Dam, Christian, Roddy Piper, Nora Greenwald (Molly Holly), Christy Hemme and others. TNA pres Dixie Carter also recently helped out by giving the documentors TNA footage for the project. From what it sounds like, the documentary may actually air on tv before being released on dvd.
Billboard's Top Ten Recreational Sports dvds:
1. WWE: Greatest Stars of the 90’s
2. UFC: Best of 2008
3. UFC 92: Nogueira vs. Mir
4. NFL: Super Bowl XLIII champions - Pittsburgh Steelers
5. TNA: Jeff Jarrett - King of the Mountain
6. TNA: Cross the Line vol. II
7. UFC 91: Couture vs. Lesnar
8. WWE: Best of Raw - 15th anniversary 1993-2008
9. Bluetopia
10. WWE: Best of Saturday Night’s Main Event
The current word is that although Rey Mysterio injured his knee at the last set of tapings, he will be at the PPV to wrestle Chris Jericho this Sunday. It may end up that he takes time off after the event, at least from house shows.
Joey Styles was recently interviewed and stated that he was glad to not be announcing any longer, as he felt like his style of announcing didn't fit in any longer and that he would probably be better suited for announcing in MMA, or other pro sports as current announcing calls more for story telling than actually calling the matches. He also spoke about turning around WWE.com.
WWE Diva Jillian Hall is apparently engaged. She issued the following note on her MySpace account (www.myspace.com/jillianhall1) this morning: "finally got the ring!" Most hardcore local fans know of the relationship between she and Tank Toland-her new fiance.

The Wrestleline Report-05-14-09
WWEShop.com has put up a product page for the upcoming 3 disc set on the career of Macho Man Randy Savage. The company will not be including a tshirt that is usually customary with their dvd's though, as WWE doesn't want fans wearing the Macho Man's trademarked merchandise at their events. Doesn't really make sense to me but what do I know.
Triple H is rumored to be returning shortly after the Judgment Day ppv, possibly interfering in Batista's match with Randy Orton on Sunday as 'payback' for Batista costing him the title.
Jesse Ventura-God love him-was on Larry King Live recently-I actually watched the interview-and spoke about the waterboarding issue, and how he'd like to waterboard Dick Cheney-as well as legalize drugs and be the Ambassador to Cuba. I'm gonna throw my two cents in on the waterboarding thing, even though it's not wrestling related. People can cry civil and human rights all they want, but I remember after 9-11 everyone was pretty damn anxious to go after the terrorists that caused harm to innocent American citizens. I think that waterboarding is the least that ANY known terrorist or anyone affiliated with a terrorist organization deserves, and for the US to take a stance saying they will not torture-even known terrorists-blows my mind. You can idealize all you want, but the fact of the matter is they would not show the same mercy to us, and showing mercy is NOT going to win the war on terror. Whew. Now I feel better.
ROH has posted Ric Flair's first official promo with the company on Youtube.com. The promo involves Flair, Jerry Lynn and Austin Aries.
Jeremy Borash noted on his Twitter account (twitter.com/jeremyborash) that rap artist "Filthee" is working on the theme song for the Hard Justice pay-per-view. He attended the last set of Impact tapings in Orlando.
TNA Wrestling has launched TNAsearch.com, a fan-oriented search engine which rewards users with official merchandise and memorabilia.
Scott Siegel, the actor who played Randy "The Ram" Robinson's steroid dealer in the movie "The Wrestler," ironically was indicted this week for possessing and distributing steroids and assaulting law enforcement officers in a New York City suburb. If convicted, he faces up to 45 years in prison.
