-- CM Punk appeared on last night’s edition of The Talking Dead. There was no mention of WWE on the show.

-- Former soccer player Stuart Tomlinson, who now works as Hugo Knox in WWE NXT, spoke with Sky Sports about getting into the WWE. Here is what he had to say…

“There were try-outs at The O2 Arena in London and WWE contacted me to see if I was interested, probably because they saw my sporting background and my look. The training was tough and there was a lot of cardio-based stuff but I got through it and I’m now here in Orlando, which is the crème de la crème and where everyone wants to be. I’ve left a football dressing room where most lads are skinny and run around for 90 minutes but there are guys here picking me up and throwing me around like I’m a little boy! It’s daunting but it’s a challenge I’m looking forward to succeeding at.”

TNA Wrestling and Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling are said to be talking to the same networks about a television deal. However, the situation isn’t good for either as very few networks are interested in adding wrestling.

TNA may have an advantage as its an active company, has daily operations and has been around for 12 years with several names under contract. GFW, being a new company, will have a harder time finding a deal. Spike TV deciding not to renew iMPACT could have had an effect on both companies getting new deals.

TNA is rumored to be talking with networks that don’t air in Canada. Spike TV airs in most of Canada and had strong ratings from the country. As previously reported, WGN seems to be the frontrunner.
