The Tampa Tribune has an article up looking at Nick Hogan's struggles in jail, saying that he never realized how tough it would be and now wishes he had stood trial instead of accepting a plea agreement. Because of threats, he is being kept in a tiny cell with no window. Nick told his mother in a phone conversation that he can't last eight months in jail and that is "so much worse than you could ever imagine." When he spoke with his father, Hulk Hogan, he was told to "man up."

Variety has an article on MyNetworkTV's Fall pickups (including Smackdown) at variety.com.

Triple H and Kevin McKidd (from HBO's Rome) are both being considered for the main role in the upcoming "Thor" movie. The film is scheduled for a late spring 2010 release.

Bret Hart's speech to developmental was not a scheduled event. He was in Florida, visiting a friend that works for TNA (which started rumors that he was going to talk with them - not true) and Nattie Neidhart asked him to drop by and speak to the trainees. He did and reportedly had a very good time doing so.
