No dates were given for a second season. The story is that they are going on hiatus because Eric Van Wagenen, the show’s Executive Producer will be working with Mark Burnett for the next season of “The Apprentice.” We had been told several weeks ago that it was likely the show would be shut down for several months for that reason. They are in talks with Univision, which could be a game changer if such a deal is completed. The mentality internally is that the product is great, but they need the financing and more exposure.

In regards to Lucha Underground's future.

Originally Posted by Observer WWE officials are reportedly very high on NXT star Dylan Miley due to his unique look. Miley has made some recent in-ring appearances at NXT live events and is scheduled to make his official debut soon. Miley is 6 foot 3 inches and 285 pounds with enormous hands. He's now sporting red trunks and red boots, as seen in the photo at the bottom of this post. Miley made an appearance at WrestleMania 31 Axxess and it was said that of the many NXT wrestlers that worked that weekend who fans didn't know, Miley made everyone stop when he came out and had their attention even though he did little in the ring. Miley is very green and looks to be a long-term project. In the short Axxess match he worked, he showed very little in the ring but it was noted that he has a great look for wrestling.

Originally Posted by Observer Kevin Eck, a former member of the WWE creative team, wrote an article on with the women, saying that creative is a big issue. He said that when he was on the WWE creative team, they were constantly told that there are no babyfaces and no heels in the Divas division, and that the idea was that all Divas are a bunch of catty chicks, most of which are mentally unstable. He said that’s led to lazy creative, such as the recent non-existent Bellas face turn, and the A.J. vs. Paige “frenemies” angle which he said was more confusing than compelling. He said that giving Divas a chance is not about longer matches (we’ve seen on TV that most weeks the crowds don’t care about longer women’s matches), but creative without so many holes like the entire Nikki & Brie creative and heel and face switches with no explanations given in most cases, or when they are, they make little sense.

Originally Posted by Observer WWE officials do have long-term plans right now to give big pushes to Lana and Eva Marie. With Eva, the idea is that she has been training hard with Brian Kendrick and will be a better performer when brought back to TV.

Originally Posted by Observer If WWE does announce Naomi as Paige's replacement for Extreme Rules tonight, WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella will be working as the babyface since Naomi just turned. WWE tested this out during the recent UK tour as The Bella Twins worked as babyfaces in Bournemouth, England.

Report was from a few days ago when it wasn't sure who Nikki would face at the ppv.

Originally Posted by Observer We noted before that The Great Sanada is now gone from TNA. Sanada was under contract through July but was released on April 17th. TNA officials knew back in early March that they were parting ways with Sanada. This could be the end of the relationship between TNA and Wrestle-1.

Originally Posted by Observer Talk of pay issues within TNA continue as The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has confirmed details originally broke by Brian Fritz of The Sporting News. As of this past weekend, TNA's production crew were more than two months late on pay. They had not been paid for the February pay-per-view tapings or any events since then. To add to that, workers received pay in April for the January UK tour, which was almost 70 days late when they're supposed to be paid within 30 days. Not only were those checks issued late, they were shorted on average of $1,000 per person. To make things worse, the production crew found out that TNA talents were finally being paid for the March tapings while production hadn't been paid for February yet. TNA had similar pay issues in 2014 that were more significant but one production worker noted that this is the third year in a row where there were issues at one point or another with late payments. While they have dealt with late payments before, being shorted money on a check is a new problem and likely was a big morale killer.
