Bryan Danielson Update, Hardy Status, 'Taker Update, Lesnar, Vince McMahon, More
– Bryan Danielson will be finishing up his prior commitments with ROH and Dragon Gate next month before going to WWE. Danielson was the highest paid guy on the ROH roster, but his new WWE deal is obviously for much, much more. As noted yesterday, I'm told WWE is interested in at least four more ROH names.
– ROH sent out this statement today about their debut in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Ring of Honor will debut in Windsor, Ontario on Friday, November 13th at the Novelletto Rosati Sports & Recreation Complex, 3939 Carmichael Road, with a postal code of N9C 3Z1.

– FightLine.com has an article with quotes from UFC President Dana White and Shane Carwin talking about Carwin's upcoming fight with Brock Lesnar at UFC 106. "He's [Carwin] got the power to knock anybody out and he's got great wrestling too," White noted. "He's one of the guys that has the size to match up with Brock, too. This is one of those fights that could be wild. Someone's going to get their head knocked off."
