Welcome to another installment of Joe's 411: B/R Pro-Wrestling News. It is THE place to see wrestling news on the Internet today. And since I do not like to keep people waiting, here we go.
Kurt Angle and Dancing with the Stars?
Jeremy Borash wrote on his Twitter that NBC's "Dancing with the Stars" has contacted Angle about being on the show next season.
Angle's TNA contract will be up by the time Angle would be able to do it, so TNA would have to renew his contract if they are going to get anything out of him being there. If he leaves and goes to the WWE or something else, then TNA will get nothing.
And they need as much publicity as possible, if you ask me. So, they should really push him to do it. This would also benefit Angle too, because historically people who have been on the show and did pretty well have had a career boost.
Take Stacy Keibler for instance; she was a WWE Diva. She made it to the finals of the show and was considered to be the best there by many. She didn't win, but she kind of did in the end.
She left the WWE soon after and did a lot of acting, and did many stints with E!. So her life turned around for the good, and DWS pretty much helped her do that,
Many who have done it say it is a good idea because you get yourself out there more to the public. Many outside the wrestling world are not too familiar with Kurt Angle.
He has not done a lot of acting, so with him being on one of the No. 1 shows at the time it is on would be good for him.
So whether he is in TNA or not at the time, I feel he should accept it. It may seem dumb in many people's eyes, and that it is understandable. But it is about getting out there, and getting noticed. And Angle could do that here.
New WWE PPV
The WWE is planning on doing an all-submission PPV soon. They do not have a name for it yet, so they have sent out a survey to see what fans would want to name it. Here are the choices
- WWE Breaking Point
- WWE Submission Sunday
- WWE Submit & Quit
- WWE Total Submission
I am personally behind the WWE Breaking Point name personally. It just sounds good and is pretty marketable compare to the others. Like, "Will the WWE stars reach their breaking point?" Could be a good tag line for it.
Who knows what they will go with, but that is my vote.
Ric Flair's WWE status
As we all saw last night, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair made his way back to WWE RAW. We saw him do the normal Flair tricks and it was a fun night to me personally.
Word now is that he will be on the next few shows. We all heard he would be there next week to call out Randy Orton. But he could make his way back to RAW for a long period of time.
Vince feels with both Triple H and Shawn Michaels being out that they lost a little bit of ratings. And historically Flair= ratings, so they feel having him there would be good until Triple H and/or Shawn Michaels comes back.
Triple H was set to come back before the Extreme Rules PPV, so he could be back in 2 weeks at the latest. We may see him next week even.
