Brother Bubba and Devon to leave TNA? We have heard big news that wrestling tag team's Team 3D is on the verge of leaving after both of them having a huge argument with another wrestler, who has yet to be named. Some reports are that Brother Bubba were involved in a huge brawl backstage after that man insults Team 3D. The management are putting pressure on them to leave, since they aren't really active on-ring nowadays. We'll have more news on this story later today.

We've seen reports that WWE might be interested in AJ Styles, who is currently an indy worker working at TNA and RoH. At this time, i can say that no meetings have taken place, although of course we are always interested in talented workers.

Feedback on the last Smackdown:

- Almost knowing Chris Sabin only by name, I was starting to think he started to climb the ladder a bit too fast for me. To me his lose to William Regal was the move to do.

- Ken Kennedy vs Kane was really a nice match and I really got into it. Easily the match of the night.

- Chris Benoit vs King Booker in a lumberjack match? ok. But there's no real interference of the lumberjacks in the match (at least in the writing) and it didn't feel like a lumberjack match. Benoit getting the fun shocked me and is a big move. A good match that looked more like a single one and thus lessened the hype of the title change in a 'special' match.

- To tell you the truth, I'm stll cold on the 4 horsemen and this match for Survivor Series should be 'the' buildup for them. To me, the reason for their teaming is not really known and they are getting wins that I'm so-so with. Like Sabin they are climbing and I don't buy them yet. (for now, to me it's: k.. we're the 4 horsemen and we're there to get the titles.)

Don't get me wrong, Smackdown was really good overall, like Raw and ECW have been. It's really only the 4 Horsemen and one member in particular that seem to be wanting to get my attention, but that I don't want to give just yet.

I'll keep reading.

resigning Muhammad Hassan is a good move. I didn't like him at first because of his gimmick, but after seeing him more and more on TV I started to like him.

Umaga against Cena is a really big match and I can't wait to see the outcome of it. It will surely be a close fight as Umaga is a serious contender.

Rocky Siaki is a really good character and I'm really starting to get behind him.

Also, the Survivor Series card is shaping up nicely so far and have several interesting matchups.
