Mixed WWE/TNA News: SD!, ECW, Abyss, Styles, More
The Smackdown!/ECW brands are back home following their three day tour in the Far East and Down Under. The WWE Superstars performed in Thailand, Singapore and Australia for a relatively short tour. The next International tour will be done by the RAW brand as they will go to South Africa for four days. The tour will run from September 5th to September 8th with live shows in Cape Town, Durban and two in Johannesburg.
From David Hulver & Drew Bosack: I was just browsing the WWE website and near the bottom of the page they have a countdown for Triple H's return at SummerSlam and if you right click and hit play, the number changes and says "tonight".
From BTAYJOR: I was in a Magic Mart in Virginia yesterday and found two Chris Benoit Figures still on the shelves at regular price. I actually bought one.
The back of the case for recently released Best of Abyss DVD lists two matches that are not actually on the disc. Monsters Ball 1 from Victory Road 04 and Abyss vs AJ Styles from iMPACT! in October of 2006. This is the not first time TNA has made this mistake. This happened with not only The Best of the X Division Volume One but Sting: Return of Icon as well.
ShopTNA.com will debut a new series of life-size wall posters in the coming weeks, featuring Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Sting, Kurt Angle, Christy Hemme and Gail Kim.
