"We want to donate her brain. We want to know what made Chyna tick," manager Anthony Anzaldo said. He said lawyers reached out to him long before Chyna's death Wednesday to test her interest in joining a brain injury lawsuit against the WWE. They didn't want any part in litigation but were intrigued by the science, he said ... Anzaldo said Chyna didn't discuss suffering concussions during her time with the WWE, but she endured physical injuries and is an interesting candidate for other reasons too, including her history with domestic violence, he said. The pioneering pro-wrestler, born Joan Laurer, was exploring deep emotional issues in a documentary titled "The Reconstruction of Chyna" that was still in production when she was found lifeless inside her Redondo Beach apartment at age 45, Anzaldo said. It was Anzaldo who actually found her, and he said the cameras were rolling when he walked in to check on his close friend and client, unaware that a tragedy had unfolded ... Anzaldo said he found Chyna in her bed with two prescription bottles in the room — one for Ambien and one for an anti-anxiety medication similar to Xanax. "There was nothing illegal. No alcohol. It was just those two prescriptions she was legally taking," he told The News. "I saw no indication of foul play, no vomit, no blood. She was just lying there peacefully. Of course she's had issues and posted things (online), but I just don't think it was intentional."

Originally Posted by Observer In our lead story today, the death of Joanie "Chyna" Laurer is believed to be from an accidental drug overdose. The belief is that she was dead for probably 2+ days when she was found on Wednesda ynight. Nobody had seen her since Sunday, but she did tweet on Monday morning. She was surrounded by prescription medication, but there were pills left in the bottles which would seem to rule out suicide.

Our sources tell us one of the organizations discussing a possible partnership with TNA is Summit Strategic Investments, and the deal could be huge for the wrestling company. SSI has a successful track record and is known for “transforming troubled assets" ... The CEO of SSI is named Roger Brown. His brother, Jason Brown, is the CEO of Aroluxe Media … the outsourced company TNA uses to help produce Impact Wrestling. We’re told Aroluxe Media are simply the production arm of Aroluxe Marketing — the company initially pin-pointed as a potential investor — and our sources say neither are in talks to buy a stake in TNA. However, former WCW wrestlers Ron Harris and Don Harris do indeed work for Aroluxe Media … and we’re told if the deal between SSI/TNA goes down, they’ll likely keep their current roles. We made multiple attempts to find out how much stake in the company Summit Strategic Investments is looking to purchase, but so far haven’t had any luck getting the answer.

New Japan is really high on him so they are sending him to live in the U.S. for an excursion and ROH is high on him as well, so I expect he’ll be used well

“The History of the Hardcore Championship: 24/7” has now officially been scheduled — the anticipated Home Video release is due to hit the UK and Europe first on September 5th, following just one day later to fans in the United States on September 6th. This one will be jam-packed with more than 50 different matches and moments, with a total Blu-ray runtime not far off 9 hours! Between some of the content there’s also slated to be documentary-like video packages looking at milestones in the title’s tenure (think 24/7 and WrestleMania X-Seven) and of course its most Hardcore holders (think Steve Blackman and Crash Holly). The Hardcore Championship was active between 1998 and 2002, thus the new DVD/Blu-ray set will feature matches from those five years.

Originally Posted by Observer WWE 2K 17 will be filming a TV commercial and are looking for a male or female 25-50 who can look credible as a police officer in a dangerous situation, and a stung person 25-40 with training and credits. Pay is $500 per session.

Possible early preview on the theme for this year's commercial. WWE 2k16's theme that eventually became the Sting concert was leaked around this same time last year.

Originally Posted by Observer American Grit, which I heard radio promotion for all day Thursday, did 2.170 million viewers last night on FOX, down from week one. Of the four major networks, the show was the lowest rated in prime time by a substantial margin. In fact, Smackdown on USA beat it.

Another swing and miss for Cena's new tv show.

Originally Posted by Rolling Stone Obviously, when he leaves the WWE, it'll be extremely difficult for Vince McMahon to find a replacement. For instance, he's very good with the long view. At one point, he says that, like his dad, his "life is just one big continuous dick joke," but ask him to provide a sample and he demurs. "When I'm allowed to unleash me," he says, "my humor would be grossly inappropriate to 99 percent of the WWE audience. So, it is very protected. And you're not going to see it. See, I think about every decision I make. I don't just knee-jerk." The WWE has tried positioning new superstars over the years, but so far none of them has passed muster. And yet changes are no doubt on the way. As Cena himself says, "I've already overstayed my welcome."
