However, that is not the case. As we’ve been reporting here on WrestlingDVDNews.com in recent weeks, the documentary main feature is an extended 1 hour and 6 minute version of the “Journey to WrestleMania: Daniel Bryan” special from the WWE Network.

The WWE Network “First Look” last night was in fact previewing some of the extras planned for the DVD/Blu-ray. The following matches and surrounding interviews were previewed:

— American Dragon & Shooter Schultz vs. Brian Kendrik & Lance Cade
Austin, TX [SmackDown Taping] • February 8, 2000

— United States Championship Match
The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan
Night of Champions • September 19, 2010

— Triple Threat Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton vs. Batista vs. Daniel Bryan
WrestleMania XXX • April 6, 2014

That’s just a snippet of the full content of the Daniel Bryan DVD as it will feature over 7 hours of material (8 hours on Blu-ray) including the documentary, a compilation of more than 15 extra matches and segments, plus the new interview footage you’ve now had a taster of.

So, as of this writing, Aries' long-term future is up in the air, unless the two sides come to terms on a new deal.

There is a meeting scheduled for this afternoon, so we will see if it is addressed internally. There's been a number of people who work for the company obviously unhappy that nothing has been said beyond the email/statement TNA issued last week.

That is not to say she's not also hot. Because she definitely is.

But she is built in a very unusual way that makes me feel like she shouldn't be hot.

But she is.

I'm very confused.

According to several sources who took part in today's TNA conference call with President Dixie Carter discussing the company today with TNA staff and wrestlers, there were no real explanations given regarding the current situation with Destination America.
I was told that it was intimated that due to the nature of the contract between the two parties, neither TNA nor Destination America can publicly comment on their relationship.

Regarding Ring of Honor being added to the Network, the impression given was that TNA, due to their relationship with DA, could not speak on the show until it was announced. I've heard from a few people who didn't buy that explanation and the general belief among those I've spoken to who were on the call is that TNA didn't know about ROH until it was announced.

At times, once the call was opened up for wrestlers to voice their opinions, the call did get very heated. I was told that at one point, Carter told the wrestlers it was up to them to show the world why they were the best in the world and that they "controlled their own destiny." This led to some of the issues of the past year, including the move from Spike and the pay issues being brought up. I was told Carter responded as if the pay issues were in the past.

I heard differing opinions from talents. One said that he felt better now that had the situation had been addressed as talents were no longer "in the dark" and they hoped everyone would get back to performing and not worrying. The talent referred to the call as a big "family blowout" in that now that everyone said their piece, there was a feeling of communication and now everyone could get back to work.

Another called it a "circus call" in that once the floodgates opened for the talent, some of the talents began bringing up personal issues that would have been better dealt with in a one on one forum.

Still another told me it was over 90 minutes of nothing of substance truly being addressed while noting the company was adamant they wanted things kept private while asking talents not to speak out and leak things.

The Dixie Carter "email" story did not come up during the call, I am told.

There is no working relationship between TNA and ROH and this is not something the two companies came up with together. My belief is that it was a request that TNA management made of the wrestlers during today's conference call. It looks to be TNA's way of babyfacing an obviously embarrassing situation.

Terri blocks a kick from Triple H. Flying elbow off the top rope by Terri Runnels, poor elevation though. Triple H can barely stand. Here it comes - Shattered Dreams. The referee counts to 10, this match is over! Terri Runnels slides to the outside and grabs a chair, then climbs back into the ring. HHH turns around...and gets planted with a huge chair shot to the head! He is left down and out on the canvas. DUD.
------------
Triple H was sluggish and didn't put much effort in. The crowd were confused as to why this was a title match, when the champion wasn't involved. This affected their response to the entire match.

Been watching old episodes of Raw, and it's funny to see some of the jobbers and realize that, a couple years later, some of them would be regulars on the show.

Von Krus became Big Vito
Scott Taylor became Scotty 2 Hotty
PJ Walker became Aldo Montoya/Justin Credible
Glen Ruth became Thrasher
The Kid became 1-2-3 Kid/X-Pac

I feel like I'm probably missing some, too, but those five have all jumped out at me as I watch.

That is the reason Hall is no longer with GFW. Regarding GFW, word is that there is no TV deal in place and while they're looking at using Jim Ross and Chael Sonnen as announcers, Sonnen hasn't actually signed his deal. JR also hasn't signed a deal but that's been known. Sonnen has been recording videos for GFW and appeared at their press conference but is still not signed, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Dixie's speech was filmed for the reality TV pilot. At the same meeting backstage, Dixie introduced Billy Corgan to the roster and that was also filmed. There's a feeling that even if TNA is faced with a worst case scenario, not getting a new US TV deal, that there is still good reason to keep the company alive as long as a deal for a Dixie reality TV show is still being offered. The idea is that the show will be sold on a woman running a pro wrestling company in a male-dominated industry. There are also a number of international television contracts in place for Impact so, and this is if they can't get U.S. television in the fall, do they keep producing new content to fulfill their worldwide deals? Nobody really has an answer, but if it is affirmative, that would also necessitate even more financial cutbacks
