Originally Posted by PWI As we have noted previously on PWInsider.com, there has been talk of WWE producing a women's wrestling-centric series on the WWE Network, similar to the Cruiserweight Classic. There have been early plans to produce the series in early 2017, although no specific dates have been locked in. The early plans were to tape the series at Full Sail Live. In recent weeks, WWE has reached out to a number of female talents who worked extended tryouts at the WWE Performance Center showing interest in bringing them into the WWE fold. While no one has been officially signed yet, there has been movement in that direction for a number of talents. Over the last 10 days we have heard from multiple sources there is great interest in Heidi Lovelace, Kimber Lee, Nixon Newell and Cheree Crowley aka Evie, as well as others. PWInsider.com can also confirm that Deonna Purrazzo and Rachel Ellering's names have also been mentioned internally in regard to tournament plans.

Originally Posted by Observer Anthem Sports & Entertainment and Billy Corgan announced a settlement in their legal situation. Anthem has paid an undisclosed amount to Corgan and in exchange Corgan has dropped his lawsuit against Anthem. The deal was largely agreed on a few weeks ago, but the final terms weren't settled until this afternoon. Corgan was quoted in the press release saying, "I'm pleased that an agreement is now in place that allows wrestling operations to continue. For my interest from the start was to provide support, be material or creative, to such a great roster and crew. And I plan on continuing in the business side of pro wrestling. I look forward to seeing where Anthem's leadership takes the company in 2017, and with them the best."

Originally Posted by SEScoops Remember how when American Express sued TNA for not paying their bill to the tune of $269,049.50, the summons was served to a receptionist at TNA’s old office that they were evicted from months earlier? Well, that’s about to become an issue for TNA: This coming Wednesday, American Express will be in court arguing that they are entitled to a default judgment because TNA has not acknowledged the complaint. A default judgment is exactly what it sounds like, TNA losing by default. TNA has not filed anything in the case since it was fire filed back in July, and thus are currently listed on the court docket as having no legal representation recorded by the court.

Originally Posted by ProWrestlingSheet WWE Superstar Tyson Kidd says he’ll no longer appear on Total Divas … and Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned it’s because the company want details surrounding his injury to stay private. Sources close to the situation tell us Kidd still hasn’t healed from the extremely serious neck injury he suffered last year and is still very much hurt, which led to WWE pulling him from the show. Tyson tweeted last week saying he’d no longer be seen on Total Divas but didn’t explain why. We’re told it appears as though the company is worried he’ll open up about the night of his injury — which Bruce Hart spoke about last year in an interview and accused WWE of treating the situation with negligence when it occurred. Despite reports that stated otherwise, Tyson never denied what his family member said. He merely claimed to not have a close relationship with Bruce. Now that so much time has passed though, sources with direct knowledge say Kidd wants to break his silence and talk about what went down … he just can’t due to his WWE contract. WWE sources, however, say that the focus of Season 6 is on new cast members and their significant others who are currently on the roster — so the decision was made to not feature Tyson.

Update to recent Tyson Kidd issues with the WWE news.

Originally Posted by PWI WWE has ended the run of their "WWE Superstars" series, PWInsider.com has confirmed. The series has been replaced by 205 Live, which will officially debut tomorrow and air live every Tuesday on the WWE Network after Smackdown Live goes off the air on the USA Network. Internally, the change is being seen as a way of replacing one series with another that will add greater value to WWE Network subscriptions. Main Event, which had been taped on Tuesdays, will now be taped on Mondays prior to Raw going on the air. The Superstars series was originally a syndicated show that launched in the late 1980s that later shifted over to the USA Network in 1996. Prior to the launch of Monday Night Raw in 1993, it was considered the primary series for WWF and was used to drive storylines directions. As WWF shifted focus to cable programming in the 1993, the series became more of a magazine style show reviewing recent events. The original incarnation ended its run in 2001 on TNN, which at the time was the home of WWF programming on cable. The most recent incarnation was originally launched as an original series for WGN America in April 2009 as well as international syndication. In 2011, the series left WGN and was streamed online on the WWE website before settling into a home on the WWE Network when WWE launched its streaming service in February 2014

Originally Posted by ProWrestlingSheet The Spirit Squad‘s Kenny Dykstra has a little less to be cheerful about this holiday season … because the male cheerleader was fired from his day job for missing work to wrestle for WWE. Sources tell us Dykstra was given the axe at the non-profit charity he was a director at due to missing an excessive amount of days. However, the 30-year-old was completely understanding. The former tag-team champion returned to WWE last month and has been used regularly on SmackDown Live since re-appearing with his partner Mikey. We’re told Kenny felt that missing work to try getting re-signed, as well as live out his dream once again, was worth the risk. Nothing official has been offered to him at this point in time.

Lowest in the POP TV Era but also had a big excuse why.

Over dinner, McMahon made his offer clear to Race. $250,000 was his if he jumped to the WWF. Race knew what a coup this would be for McMahon if he acquired the services of the NWA World Champion. He also knew that McMahon would need his answer that same night. Despite the financial temptation, Race could not turn his back on the organization that had given him so much nor could he ignore his personal code of honor that demanded that he drop the title to Ric Flair as promised. Race told McMahon no, unaware that by now, McMahon was used to getting what he wanted. After the dinner, an irate McMahon launched himself at Race only to find himself caught in a crossface. Race was ready to snap McMahon’s neck but his wife provided the voice of reason that saved McMahon’s life

Wacky Vince story from back in the day.

Dear @iLikeSamiZayn, #TeamBlue will never hold you back #BlueIsBetter
