Sources tell us the 49-year-old made the deal this week that will see him participate in a Rumble match for the second time in his career. This year’s event is in January at the Alamodome ... No word at this point as to whether any sort of WrestleMania match is in the works

Originally Posted by F4WOnline Pro Wrestling Sheet reported today that Bill Goldberg agreed to a deal this week to appear in more shows, which explains the finish of tonight's match with Brock Lesnar. The story noted that Goldberg will be at the Royal Rumble at the Alamodome. The original deal was for only this one match, but Goldberg got over so well, as expected, that both sides made the decision to keep him going. It would be expected that Goldberg and Brock Lesnar would meet at the Rumble, although that has not been confirmed at this point ... There was a late odds swing in favor of Goldberg just before the show started which turned out to be smart money from people who knew the finish.

Jake Roberts recently appeared on Primo Nutmeg, and during the interview Roberts called WWE legend Honky Tonk Man a “real piece of s**t.” Below is what Roberts had to say about Honky Tonk Man: Working with the Honky Tonk Man at the time was okay, but since then he has become a real piece of s*it, you know, because he’s trying to buy people’s names and own them, and if you try to use your name you would have to pay him. He has tried it with too many people now. He has a few names under his belt; he took The Patriot, he has the trademark registration, so now any money that is made by The Patriot, the money goes to him. He even tried that with my name–can you believe that? That scumbag piece of s*it also owns Jim Duggan’s name. I hate to be The Honky Tonk Man when Jim Duggan gets a hold of him. It’s not going to be pretty. Honky Tonk Man responded on Twitter with the following: @PeterBahi I decided not to trademark his name since I thought he would not live very much longer, investment would not be worth it! — Honky Tonk Man® (@OfficialHTM) November 22, 2016

Tommy Dreamer’s House of Hardcore promotion will broadcast three live events on FloSlam in December.

Originally Posted by Observer Another promotion will soon be joining the World Wrestling Network roster on FloSlam. It was announced on Tuesday that Gabe Sapolsky would be debuting a new promotion, called Style Battle, on the new streaming service at the beginning of next year. The promotion will feature a tournament on every show and Style Battle's premiere event will take place on January 7th at The Orpheum in Ybor City, FL. Events for the new promotion will occur "almost monthly" and will be structured in seasons. There will be nine events in each season, with the first eight shows all featuring an eight-man single elimination tournament. The winners of those tournaments will then face off on the season finale to crown a winner.

Originally Posted by Observer AT&T Uverse has picked up the El Rey Network so that will add a significant amount of new potential television homes for Lucha Underground. For people who look at success by just comparing total audience numbers, this should give the look of success, just as there are ways to say TNA ratings are up from last year since they are on a station with more penetration than they were last year.

Originally Posted by Observer The WWE announced today a new Bella Twins YouTube channel, which will be built around fashion tips, travel, fitness and health. There will be daily videos with them, as well as John Cena and Daniel Bryan, Nikki will do live on the road videos, Brie will chronicle her pregnancy and putting together her nursery and more.

Originally Posted by PWI Despite publicly announcing that he and TNA had come to an agreement on their legal issues regarding the lawsuit he filed against TNA, Dixie Carter and others, the lawsuit Billy Corgan filed in the Nashville Chancery Court continues on. On 11/14, the court issued an order extending the defendants' time to answer the lawsuit or otherwise plead in regard to the case until today, 11/22. The order noted that it was at the request of counsel for both Corgan and the Defendants and that the extension "further the interests of judicial economy and efficiency." So, either the two sides have settled and it will be officially filed with the court today or the defendants will be filing some sort of official response to the case, such as a motion to dismiss.
