Both TNA and WWE interested in Bob Sapp

From 411Mania.com:

- TNA is heavily negotiating with Bob Sapp. Sapp and Kurt Angle met while filming Pros vs. Joes for Spike TV. Spike fell in love with him, and wanted to work with him more. TNA wanted to fly him in for the most recent tapings, but logistically it wasn't possible for Sapp to get there.

- The current deal offered to Sapp if a four-month deal, for $2,500 a match. He would work a program with Kurt Angle, culminating in a steel cage match with hype on Sapp's MMA background and Angle's wrestling background. They wanted to play off of the realism of their backgrounds. Also included in the deal is a program with Samoa Joe after the Angle program is complete. It is unlikely Sapp would work for so little, as he makes $35,000 per match working HUSTLE.

- WWE is also working to make a deal with Sapp. While Sapp is contracted to HUSTLE, WWE claims he could work both companies since they don't view HUSTLE as their competition. They looked to sign him earlier this year as well.
