— It was reported last week that the former TNA tag team ‘The Naturals’ would be getting a tryout match with WWE at the September 17th Raw in Nashville, TN. However, the deal may have fallen through as one source claimed that when WWE heard that Andy Douglas (the dark-haired one) had announced the tryout on his MySpace page, WWE nixed it. Chase Stevens, the blonde-haired one, is said to be really angry about this. The message has since been removed from Douglas’ MySpace, so there’s definitely something to the story.
— There was a report from Bob Ryder of 1wrestling.com last week that said that Teddy Hart was rubbing people the wrong way in Ohio Valley Wrestling already. Another source is saying that he was actually on his best behavior, and another source in the company said that any heat he had isn’t “bad heat” (meaning, no one in management is upset with him), but rather jealousy by the other guys because he’s from the legendary Hart family, has a good look, and is an amazing athlete.
— TNA wrestler AJ Styles will be working King Booker’s next PWA show in Pasadena, TX on 8/31. TNA wrestler BG James was booked for the 7/21 show, but called at the last minute to say that there was a family emergency. It’s being said that James told Booker that he had a 102 degree temperature and that he promised to make up the date. Bill Behrens, who handles outside talent bookings for TNA talent, told Booker that he would send someone in his place. Booker felt that it wasn’t worth paying for a star and a last second flight for someone who wasn’t advertised.
