James Storm Praised Backstage, Neal's TNA Release, More

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

– James Storm has been getting a ton of praise backstage in TNA. He's been working very hard with Vince Russo prior to TNA TV tapings to improve his mic skills.

– The Jesse Neal "injury" storyline was a way for TNA to write him out of current storylines. As noted earlier, Neal and TNA parted ways after he refused to relocate to Louisville, Kentucky to train at Ohio Valley Wrestling. One source notes that Neal was not completely opposed to relocating, but based on what TNA was paying him, it didn't make sense for him to continue working for them.

– Rob Terry, Anarquia and "Big Brother" reality star Jessie Godderz have all been sent to OVW to "fine tune" their in-ring skills.

– Killer Mike's song, "Ric Flair", was listed by Rolling Stone as one of the 50 best singles of 2011.
