– Eric Bischoff posted the following update on his Facebook page last night regarding Hulk Hogan’s health:
“Just hung up with Hulk. Will take a few days to determine if the electric spinal chord stimulator will do the trick. Everyone is optimistic at this point.”
– Female independent wrestler Brittney Savage will get a tryout with TNA at one of the iMPACT! tapings in November. Savage is the former tag team partner of NXT Rookie AJ Lee (the two held tag team gold in the WSU women’s promotion) and actually had a tryout against Beth Phoenix last year before a SmackDown taping.
– Former WWE Diva Tammy “Sunny” Sytch explained during an interview with Women’s Wrestling Today that she loathes TNA Wrestling because when her longtime boyfriend died, Chris Candido, they refused to forward her his last paycheck (for the final shows he appeared, including the show he broke his ankle in, which led to the surgery in which he got an infection and ultimately died from) so she could pay off his outstanding bills. Sunny said:
“They refused, because we weren’t legally married. So bills I had of his, in both our names, ended up being my sole responsibility. It was only a $1,500 check, but still.. “F*****g scumbags. “They had Terry Taylor call me and tell me that. So he basically broke his ankle and died for free. They sent the check in his name, which I couldn’t endorse and deposit. When I asked them to cut me a new check in my name, they said no.”
In a bit of TNA trivia .. 2008, TNA Wrestling’s creative department considered bringing Sunny in back in 2008 as the new love intereset of Kurt Angle, who was still with his wife Karen at the time. An unnamed TNA wrestler with influence pleaded with the company not to hire Sunny and the idea was ultimately dropped. (Source Wrestling Observer Newsletter)
