After months of speculation as to whether they were retiring or considering a return to WWE, its been confirmed that Team 3D has signed new multi-year deals with TNA Wrestling. The contracts were signed last week.

Before the new TNA deals were signed, there was some communication between Team 3D and WWE. Aside from what Brother Ray and Brother Devon would have brought to WWE’s tag team division, it was discussed that Brother Ray could have a spot as a producer/agent in WWE after his in ring days are over. Additionally, there was some interest in using Team 3D’s wrestling school in Florida as another developmental territory for WWE.

In the end, the lighter travel schedule in TNA played a big part in Team 3D’s decision to stay with TNA.

TNA president Dixie Carter was said to be a huge proponent in getting Team 3D re-signed. She really wanted them back and was happy when the deal was completed.

Ringside Radio with Kevin Nash
Hosts: Scott Fishman and Nathan Starling
Airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST at
Full interview available at RingsideRadio.com.

Scott Fishman and Nathan Starling spoke with Kevin Nash Wednesday night on Ringside Radio in one of his first interviews since his contract with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling expired. Here are some highlights of what Nash said about:

Why He Left TNA & What’s Next For Him: “I was never given a contract to sign. We never had the discussion… I think that they were involved in a couple of other things. I mean TNA is a small company and I think some other things came up and I just slipped between the cracks. Even before that I signed my contract 21 days after my deal was up. I guess maybe they thought I would just wait patiently. ….Somebody has owned me since I was 30 years old. I just wanted to see what it was like to wake up in the morning and not have to answer to somebody. It is pretty sweet.”

Whether Shawn Michaels retiring has any influence on a decision: “When it comes down to it if I worked a minimal schedule I would work five days a month with TNA and those five days are basically 70 miles from my house so it’s not like I’m on the road. If something happens at home I could be home in an hour. It’s a completely different scenario and a completely different situation. It wasn’t like I was going to Australia or anything like that. It’s good to be home right now.”

If He Considers Himself Retired: “Am I retired? Name one wrestler that is retired…..So I don’t think any of us ever retire. I just think you just take time off. I’ve seen Hulk do it for years. Take time off and low and behold a four or five guys get hurt some place and your value goes up 20 percent.”

His Final Night in TNA: : “Storyline wise it was great. I mean Sting and I were leaving. Emotional wise it was pretty easy to play the part that night. I got buddies there. One thing in this business is you never say goodbye. Somewhere down the line you see each other again. Life goes on.”

The Immortal Faction: “I was there the night they put it together. If they go with heat and real heat and let these guys run the company for quite some time. The thing about the NWO is we probably got heat on the company for six months. Now the biggest problem in the business right now is Fortune got heat off the old ECW guys. They got a good set of heat on those guys on TV when they beat them up and split everybody open. The next week those guys came back and made a comeback on them. So any heat they got the week before was nullified. Joe Hamilton told me a long time ago when I was breaking in was, ‘The thing about heat is it’s like a hot air balloon. The longer you let that flame go underneath that hot air balloon the higher it rises.

“Every time a babyface touches that hot air balloon, as far as touching the heat or touching the heel, you draw back down. If you go week in and week out of going back and forth, the balloon never leaves the ground. The thing about heat is you know it works when the babyfaces in the company walk into the booking room and start complaining.

“When the guys that aren’t the marks start complaining you know that the marks are already sick of it. That leads the buyrates and that leads to people start pulling for the babyfaces to pull it together. If you appease the people and the babyfaces, you will never get heat. Heats is always drawing money.”

That was the first 10 minutes of the half hour must-listen interview.

Other topics discussed include:

If he would go back to working behind the scenes as booker?

His thoughts on the WWE’s “Stand Up for WWE” campaign.

What’s wrong with the business today?

Thoughts on new talent getting too much too soon.

One opponent he would want to face again in a wrestling ring. Hint: He is a legend he met at WrestleMania.

His son Tristan’s music career and much more.

Also, on this week’s blockbuster show is WrestleReunion’s Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff and Dragon Gate USA’s Gabe Sapolsky. Ringside Radio airs 8 p.m. Wednesday nights on Blog Talk Radio. Visit www.ringsideradio.com or www.blogtalkradio.com/ringsideradio to listen.

Shortly after Velvet Sky and Lacey Von Erich left Angelina Love by her lonesome in the makeup room, Winter appeared behind her. Winter said she was an admirer of Love’s and had waited a long time to meet her. When Love turned around to introduce Winter to Velvet Sky, she vanished. Sky told Angelina she must have an imaginary friend.

Meanwhile, a company source was okay with the company’s publicity stunt, even if the $15,000 figure is legitimate.

“If you get TMZ to put it up and other people pick it up, then it’s worth $15,000.

The former WWE Diva is now wrestling in a plaid shirt, jean shorts and cowboy boots.

Check out these pictures:

World Wrestling Entertainment officials had discussed releasing Matt Hardy from his contract weeks before it was officially granted last Friday. There were some in WWE who wanted Hardy gone as soon as he requested his walking papers, but the key factor preventing organization officials from letting him go was the belief that it would keep Jeff Hardy in TNA Wrestling longer than his current deal calls for. The argument was that with Linda McMahon nearing the end of her Senate campaign, WWE shouldn’t employ a wrestler doing anything he could to get fired.

Those close to Hardy say he is definitely headed to TNA Wrestling. While those affiliated with the Orlando based organization have not been directly told he is coming in, most everyone broached on the subject expects it to occur.

There has already been discussion within TNA Wrestling of programming a Hardys vs. Beer Money, Inc. feud with the hope that it would elevate Robert Roode and James Storm. It is said that both Hardy brothers are very much aware of this possible scenario.

Meanwhile, Hardy’s numerous attention seeking videos, such as a recent entry of him eating lunch with an unmasked Rey Mysterio, have not endeared him to the TNA locker room. TNA employees who said they were friends with him in WWE aren’t defending his online behavior.

TMZ.com has yet another update in the ongoing feud between Jersey Shore star “J-Woww” and TNA Knockout Cookie. After J-Woww’s appearance on last week’s episode of TNA iMPACT! culminated with a catfight between the two women, Cookie continued talking trash to TMZ about the Jersey shore star.

The latest is that TMZ sources close to J-Woww say, “Cookie didn’t even get one good punch in with her .. J-Woww would be down for a rematch with that trash.”

J-Woww reportedly got paid $15,000 for last week’s appearance and the ongoing war of words has received a lot of coverage on TMZ ever since.

No word yet on how close J-Woww is to reaching a deal with TNA to wrestle Cookie, but the TMZ source sounds confident it’s going to happen.

* Pictures of J-Woww’s CATFIGHT From TNA iMPACT!

— Kevin Nash said goodbye to the TNA Wrestling locker room at last week’s set of iMPACT! television tapings. While he’s still listed on the company website, the belief is that he is legitimately leaving the organization because he noted to friends that he was asked to take a pay cut and declined to sign a new contract.

— There was much head shaking over TNA Wrestling re-signing Team 3D to new contracts. While Brother Devon is quite popular in the locker room and Brother Ray is considered good in a backstage role, many feel there is no money to be made in bringing the two back as a tag team, let alone as singles competitors.

“They shouldn’t have been re-signed,” said one company source. “No one (in management) gets its.”

To clarify, a number of people in management didn’t want them re-signed, but TNA president Dixie Carter felt otherwise as it is said that she “really wanted to bring the duo back.”

— Rhino’s contract with TNA Wrestling will expire at the end of the month. He is still working live events, but it is unknown whether both sides will reach a new deal. The belief is that the EV2 faction is sticking around, and considering that the company is light on former ECW wrestlers, there is a good chance he’ll stay.

— Jenni Farley (a/k/a Jwoww) showed up late in the afternoon for her appearance at the Oct. 11 iMPACT! television taping and spent most of her time situated in the makeup room with her boyfriend. While there has been bickering over her reported $15,000 payoff, no one mentioned anything regarding her demeanor.

— Mickie James’ TNA theme song, which has been described as “Hardcore Country,” was recorded by both the former WWE Women’s Champion and Dixie Carter’s husband Serg Salinas.

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart was interviewed this week by Brian Fritz of Fanhouse.com to promote the new SmackDown vs. RAW 2011 video game.

Hart had some pretty harsh words about TNA Wrestling, saying it’s run by people who don’t know anything about the wrestling business and feature dinosaurs on television that take time away from the company’s real stars. Here are some highlights of what Bret said about:

Hogan, Bischoff & Russo Together Again In TNA:

“Well, I’ll be honest. After being in WCW and being around them, you start to realize that these guys — Bischoff in particular — never understood or knew anything about wrestling. They just struck me as guys that didn’t understand wrestling. To see them working with another company now, to me, I think you’ll eventually see that they don’t know anything. They didn’t know anything then and they don’t know anything now. They’re not going to make a difference anywhere they go.”

TNA’s Young Talent Getting Smothered By Dinosaurs:

“Yeah, competition is always good. I have a lot of respect for the young wrestlers there like AJ Styles and Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe, Abyss, different guys. I know they’ve got a lot of talent there and guys that I consider good friends of mine including RVD (Rob Van Dam). I wish them all the best and I hope the younger stars get a chance to show what they’ve got rather than coming back to the old dinosaurs like Hulk Hogan or Eric Bischoff with the same old certain babble that he’s been doing for 10 years when he’ll babble about nothing. He somehow positions himself to be a star on the show and I think there’s real stars that need to get that light and not him.”

TNA executive Eric Bischoff is speaking out about Vince McMahon’s new “Stand Up For WWE” campaign, lending support to his former employer.

“Good for Vince,” Bischoff wrote. “I don’t blame him for wanting to use his platform to activate WWE fans and speak out against some of the mainstream media b.s. that has been flung at Linda McMahon and the WWE.

“Linda’s opponent and his surrogate campaign staffers over at MSNBC, have used their ‘news’ format to trash a woman who has raised a family, overcome financial challenges, and helped build a billion dollar industry that is weathering the financial bon-fire that her challengers predecessor, Chris Dodd provided the lighter fluid for with his role in the disastrous bail-out debacle.”
