The Wrestling Thread: Oh Mah Goodness...Part 33

[BlackLantern]

-- Christy Hemme is scheduled for rare TNA house show appearances this weekend as she will be handling ring announcing duties during the organization's tour of Quebec, Canada.

-- Devon is advertised to appear at Wrestling Universe 34-29 Francis Lewis Blvd. Flushing, New York on Saturday, November 5 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Visit www.WrestlingUniverseOnline.com for more information.

-- Though he may no longer actively compete, Hulk Hogan still commands among the highest salaries in the professional wrestling industry.

While discussing TNA's decision to renew their contract with Hogan on the October 5 episode of Wrestling Observer Live, Dave Meltzer stated that the organization pays the wrestling legend $35,000 per television appearance—potentially totaling over $2 million per year.

Colt Cabana stated during an interview with Pitch.com that he has not heard back from WWE officials since working two tryout matches for the organization in August.

"They won't return my calls or anything," he tells Justin Kendall. "It’s pretty weird, man. I don’t get it. Nobody was really receptive. It's just like they wanted to ignore it. I think it's because Punk is such a rebel that ... they were able re-sign Punk, but I think to kind of stick it to him, they don’t want to talk to his friend.

He is asked whether he had that feeling when he worked the tryout matches.

"Nah," Cabana responded. "It didn’t seem like. All of the wrestlers and all of the personalities and all of the personnel, they love me. They get it. I think there’s just a group of people who don’t get me or don’t want to get me. Unfortunately, that keeps me away from an opportunity, but at the same time, I think the answer was so obvious to put me on TV and capitalize on it.

"At the same time, I think it’s really nice that my fans are really gathering around me and supporting me and continuing me in wrestling without WWE. A lot of people say that you can only be successful if you’re in WWE, and I’m a great case and point where when it’s all said and done, to be a great wrestler doesn’t mean that you have to be a WWE Champion or WWE superstar."
