- It looks like former NWA champion "Instant Classic" Christian Cage will be jumping ship to WWE, once his contract expires next month, according to totally-trustworthy {wink-wink} source of internet wrestling news http://www.PWInsider.com Cage's still in contract negotiations with TNA, however many around him believe that he's done with the company. The news of Christian most likely leaving TNA was even played during a segment of iMPACT! which aired last night on Spike TV. Cage left WWE on the best of terms & even appeared @ Taboo Tuesday, when his employment with WWE was already terminated, because he was 1 of the 5 choices eligible to be voted for a match. The Instant Classic made his TNA debut @ Genesis 2005 & called WWE "old & boring" & the company took Cage to a fight a year later, when he tried to trademark the name "Captain Charisma", which he used in WWE. Eventually Christian gave up & switched his nick name to "Instant Classic". Before jumping to TNA, Cage was with WWE from 1998 until 2005. While in TNA he won the NWA World Heavyweight title twice.
- http://www.Wrestling-Online.com Newsletter reader & Long Island Press columnist Josh Stewart sent in a link to an interview he did with former Heavyweight champion Kurt Angle. In the interview, Angle talks about the comparison of the Main Event Mafia & the popular New World Order faction. "We show up @ the house shows, we show up @ TV, we have matches, we have great angles & matches set up, thank God," the Olympic Hero said while comparing his group to the original nWo. "So it's completely different, because our guys, I'm the head of the Main Event Mafia & if they don't want to work, I'll kick them out." When asked about the heat he has with Jeff Jarrett following the comments he made about him on TNA television, Angle said that he expected Jarrett to jump him once he went backstage after bringing up his wife in an in-ring interview. "Jeff & I don't see eye-to-eye. A lot of stuff you see on TV's very transparent on how we feel about each other." However, Kurt praised JJ & TNA President Dixie Carter for having the proper reins on the company to keep the Main Event Mafia from becoming a negative.

- It's been confirmed that Rhino's contract with TNA's set to expire sometime next year. Spring 2009 will be a key period for the company, as reportedly, about 10 contracts are set to expire & as a reminder, Kurt Angle's contract with TNA comes up next September. It's interesting to note that he's been a lot more complementary towards WWE, Vince McMahon & Smackdown Heavyweight champion HHH in media interviews in recent months -- a complete 180 from his previous comments. He filmed a shoot interview with RF Video in September & praised WWE quite a bit.
