Sheets sponsored by an announcement from His Royal Bad Newsness:
Remember everyone being happy about the news of a Owen Hart dvd being in the works. Well I'm afraid I've got some bad news ...
Martha Hart didn't give approval for the DVD set to be made nor was ever contacted by the WWE for approval. Could end up getting scraped or delayed if she decides to take any legal action against it.

“My children and I were unaware of this project until May 7, when it was brought to our attention by a friend who had read about it online. Contrary to your report, we do not back or support it in any way, nor has WWE requested our backing or support. From what little we know of the project, it seems to be another attempt to exploit Owen’s memory, and his tragic death, for commercial gain. We have resisted that kind of initiative for almost 16 years. If WWE really wanted to honor Owen’s legacy, it would just let him rest in peace.”

For those who missed Steve Austin's Extra Mustard interview this week, the WWE Hall of Famer is teasing some big announcements but would not reveal if it has to do with pro wrestling or entertainment. Austin said: "I have a couple of things that will be announced within the next two-to-four weeks. When you hear those, you'll say, 'That's why he couldn't talk about those, I get it.' But they're really good. It will be a major press announcement."

For those that don't care about being spoiled:
Bully Ray is the former champ returning. Velvet Sky and Bobby Lashley also expected to be returning as well for the show.

WWE filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit Doug Gilbert and the estate of Eddie Gilbert filed, according to PWInsider. The motion adds that WWE "invested heavily" in obtaining, producing and distributing the footage, "without which the works alleged in Plaintiffs' Complaint would not exist. Gilbert was alleging that WWE and ESPN were using his likeness without his permission. WWE also pointed to cases from Doug Somers and Steve Ray as previous lawsuits that didn't work out in court. ESPN has filed a similar motion.

WWE officials have not decided on the new NXT name for Uhaa Nation yet. This is why no name was used on his vignette that aired on Wednesday's episode, according to F4Wonline.com.

Was some speculation that he'd get to keep his name when a new name wasn't mentioned or teased by Regal.

The Young Bucks are reportedly the target of all three major non-WWE promotions. The Wrestling Observer reports that TNA is “making a big play” for the team, while Lucha Underground is planning to try and lure them over when they get the green light for a second season.
Meanwhile the Young Bucks work several dates a year for ROH, but the company wants to get them into a more exclusive deal. The team previously turned down a “low-ball” offer from WWE last year.

WWE Superstar Xavier Woods appeared on the PodNasty Wrestling Podcast and down below is an excerpt from the interview in which Woods talked about the New Day gimmick, not getting over as babyfaces and more.
"We had a couple of different schools of thoughts. We thought this would occur, that people would be into it, because it's maybe one of the only positive things on television, because you turn on the news and there's death, murder, car crashes and everything.
"Here's a positive thing with three guys, all college educated, all college athletes, all very eloquent so we'll preach a positive message like 'do well in life and go to school, make sure you work out you could be big and strong like E, make sure if you stretch a lot you can be flexible and agile like Kofi and make sure if you read your books you could be smart like Woods.' And then we realized after a few months it turned into 'people don't like those who are happy.'
"So it's kind of like a play on society, essentially, people of American society. Back in the 80s, if someone's happy, someone's doing well, someone's getting hardships, you cheered for that person.
"But now it's 2015, and they don't like that. They want someone who's grimy and who doesn't like people and who doesn't smile and isn't happy and wants to punt a puppy across a football field. If that happened, people would be watching and it would get 3 million views on YouTube because it's something that's horrible so essentially society has created this thing where people like to see car wrecks, and they want to see a hot mess and they want to see a fall from grace. So if you don't have those things people are going to boo you because that's not entertaining to them, they want to see a mess, they want to see somebody fall on the sidewalk and bust their lip on the ground. They don't like nice things."

Date corresponds to an upcoming house show in Philly and possibly him using the Balor persona for the occasion.

If Triple H could put aside his ego and his dislike for a person and focus on business then I think it could probably be a lot better. For example, I don't think he was a big fan of Zack Ryder"

From a recent interview JTG had with WrestlingNews dealing with a variety of topics like Cryme Tyme, Creative being bad in general, and no desire to return to the WWE in the future.
