WWE is very high on Dan Rodman right now. He was put into main event matches with John Cena at house shows last weekend so WWE could see how he handled big matches. Johnny Ace is really supporting Rodman so he may be called up soon. Rodman used to go as Daniel Rodimer on Tough Enough.

The finale of ABC's Fast Cars and Superstars will air this Sunday and feature John Cena.

Ken Kennedy has a new blog up on the FHM Magazine website where he talks about advice Steve Austin gave him about continuing to learn the business. Check out the blog at FHM's website located at fhmonline.com.

............... And we'll finish with some TNA news & notes to start the weekend:

Scott Steiner is now back in the United States after being released from the hospital in Puerto Rico and taking a cruise ship back to the states (he is not yet allowed to fly).

TNA has basically written off Konnan, so don't expect to see him return. TNA plans to give Homicide and Hernandez a new push with Homicide as the mouthpiece for the team.

Next week's iMPACT! will feature only one match, Kurt Angle vs. Rhino vs. Christian Cage. TNA is billing it as the best match ever taped for iMPACT!.
