-- WWE was thinking about having Harry Smith debut at last night's SmackDown taping in England with a "fan out of the crowd" gimmick similar to Santino Marella earlier in the year. The idea was for him to be a fan in the crowd who accepts a SmackDown wrestler's open challenge and then beats him. The taping came and went, and Smith didn't appear on the show. He did a dark match prior to the Raw taping in England on Monday and was over huge once he got on the mike and told the fans that he was the son of "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith.
-- The 2007 WWE Diva Search Winner will be announced on the 10/29 Raw in Philadelphia instead of at Cyber Sunday the night before. The final three contestants, Brooke Gilbertsen, Eve Torres, and Lena Yada, will appear live next Monday on Raw to make final impressions for the fans.
-- TNA is currently in talks with former WCW World Heavyweight Champion David Arquette about joining the promotion. Arquette is suddenly interested in joining TNA. He called Jonny Fairplay, who has nothing to do with TNA these days, and asked him if Fairplay could be his manager. However, Fairplay isn't really interested in doing anything with pro wrestling these days because he has other things on the table.
-- Apparently, Karen Angle "made a spectacle of herself" at the party thrown by Spike TV in celebration of the first two hour Impact taping last month. Whatever she did at the party, it removed some of the internal luster over the Angle family among many people in TNA.
-- There was a sign outside the Gwinnett Arena, the site of the Bound for Glory pay-per-view that took place this past Sunday, that said "TNA Wraslin".
