Undertaker at UFC match, Spike passes on TNA, Hemme's reuptation and more

- Christy Hemme is earning a great reputation backstage. She is willing to help out the company in any way she can. Her recent Playboy shoot earned a lot of publicity for the company. Also, Hemme is trying to learn to wrestle, which as we know from the rules for Diva Search II, isn't required of the winner of the Diva Search Contest.

- Al Snow and Lance Storm are still alternating the head trainer job in OVW. Bill DeMott will be the head trainer in the new Georgia-based promotion when it opens. Storm will work in Georgia also, but since he doesn't want to move his family from Calgary, Storm isn't viewed as a full time trainer.

- Thanks to Robert McCullough for sending this in:

I went to the UFC matches last night at the MGM and wanted to let you know that The Undertaker and Shane McMahon were at the event together. They were very fan friendly. They sat about 4 fours back from Pamela Anderson and Cindy Crawford (not together) who sat in the first row. Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn were there as well. Severn was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. Shamrock was booed every time they put his face up on the big screen. Thanks and keep up the good work.

- Spike TV has reportedly lost interest in picking up TNA programming. There is no reason as to why, but this leaves WGN as the only alternate to FSN for TNA. TNA is also hoping to get a better time slot out of FSN, but FSN hasn't been interested in moving them as of yet.

- TNA's lease with Universal Studios in Orlando will be up this June.

- TNA has reportedly been late paying some of their talent. Nobody within TNA is taking responsibility for it, but rather placing the blame on Panda Energy. Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman and Monty Brown are among those who are still owed money. It is thought to be a mistake that TNA isn't paying Monty Brown on time, as his contract is up later this year, and everyone thinks Brown and AJ Styles, who's contract is also up later this year, will be offered spots with the WWE. If top level guys like this aren't kept happy, there isn't much reason for them not to make the jump to the WWE.
