- From WWE.com: Rey Mysterio’s quest to regain the World Championship may have suffered a severe setback in Santiago, Chile, on Wednesday night.
The injury occurred during Wednesday’s live event at Arena Santiago, where Mysterio teamed with Kane against Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins. During the tag contest, Rey suffered an apparent injury to his right arm – specifically his bicep. Clearly in pain, the Master of the 619 gutted it out and finished the match, then was quickly examined by WWE athletic trainer Jason Crivello upon leaving the ring.
Mysterio flew back to the United States late Wednesday night, and is currently in Gulf Breeze, Fla., waiting to meet with world-renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews, who will determine the extent of the injury. Regardless of Dr. Andrews’ findings, Mysterio has his heart set on competing this Sunday night at No Way Out, where he is scheduled to face Edge for the World Championship.

Pro Wrestling Insider reports that Samoa Joe has signed a new long term deal with TNA through 2011. Joe was offered a new deal last year and turned it down. The two sides have been renegotiating since and it looks like they finally have things all squared away. This is a big deal as TNA can not afford to lose Joe. Many promotions in Japan have shown interest in him as well as the WWE.

In an interview with Jim Varsallone of the Miami Herald, former WWE champ Stone Cold Steve Austin said that WWE offered him a spot at WrestleMania which he turned down. "I'd like to go to the Hall of Fame and see the guys get inducted. They got enough talent in WWE that they don't need me for WrestleMania, and it's not my desire to go back into the ring," Austin said.
While Austin didn't reveal what 'pitch was thrown at him' he said that he's always interested for a cameo if it's a good idea. "If I really needed the money, I'd go back in the ring, but I've been conservative with my money and invested wisely. I have fond memories of the business, and I love the business, but I don't miss it." Since wrestling his last match at WrestleMania 19, Austin appeared as a referee at WrestleMania 20, on Piper's Pit at 21, skipped WrestleMania 22 and then appeared as a referee again at WrestleMania 23.

- With WWE dropping Jakks in 2010 there is also talk of them dropping THQ when their deal ends the same year. EA is very intrested in the WWE video game license and are likely to put in a bid for it when their deal with THQ is up.

- TNAwrestling.com's bio of Curry Man has a few factual errors in it. They claim he debuted in 2002 when he actually made his debute in 1999. They also call him a former IWGP Tag Team Champion but it was actually the IWGP Junior Tag Team Titles that he held along with Bryan Danielson.
- There is talk of TNA's April Lockdown PPV having some sort of St. Patricks Day theme to it.

Who ever reported this did a hack job on what PWInisder actually reported.
They never said that he recently re-signed, and quoted their interview they did with him back in Oct. where he said he was signed up for "a few more years".

February 15, 2008. This has to be the craziest thing that we've ever heard. MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a person inside Eminem's camp who says that the platinum-rapper has signed on to join the World Wrestling Entertainment.
The insider, who is a well-known member of Eminem's inner circle, agreed to give MediaTakeOut.com an exclusive interview. He explained, "Eminem's in training right now, he's taking private [wrestling] lessons and working on strength training ... All those reports of him being fat are crazy. He's 210 pounds of solid muscle."
And the insider claims that Eminem is about 3 to 4 months away from making his debut. The tipster told MediaTakeOut.com, "He's not doing this as a joke either, he's really committed to being a wrestler. Wait and see, he's going to be flipping [other wrestlers] and doing all that crazy [EXPLETIVE]."
Hey, we're not doubting dude. Who woulda believed that he could have taken over the world of hip hop like he did...

Rumors have been flying around that popular rapper Eminem will be joining WWE as an in-ring performer and some sources said that he is "couple of months away" from being ready to hit the ring. However, his publicist denied
all these rumors this week telling CelebrityTruth. com that whomever is spreading these rumors is making stuff up. "Eminem has no interest whatsoever in becoming a wrestler," he said. (thanks to Colin Vassallo)
Well, I feel better now!

- The story about Sean Waltman attempting suicide by Juvetund Guerrero is open to interpretation. According to Steve Sims, Waltman mixed enough substances to give the appearance that he did attempt suicide. This was a story that was not supposed to get out, but then again, Juvi isn't known for his keeping his mouth shut. Waltman apparently called Vince McMahon regarding WWE's offer to pay for rehab for former company grapplers.
This is the first I've heard anything about this. Anyone else hear about it?

Rey Mysterio must be one unlucky man. While wrestling at the live Smackdown! event in Santiago, Chile, the former World Heavyweight champion suffered a bicep injury during his match with Kane against Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins. Upon finishing the match, Mysterio was checked by the trainer and then flew back to the United States later that night to meet Dr James Andrews who will evaluate his injury. It is feared that Mysterio would need surgery that would keep him out of action for up to six months and obviously would miss tomorrow's No Way Out and the biggest event of the year - WrestleMania.
