Jerry Lawler noted in a new interview with Bleacher Report that he's working on gathering the entire Memphis Wrestling tape library and is in talks with WWE about making the library available to the company so they can use it on the WWE Network.

To clarify Chris Sabin's TNA departure, he was offered a new deal but turned it down. He wasn't outright released. The deal was believed to be for less money than he had been making. Katie Ryjavec, who been handling TNA's live event marketing and media buys, recently gave notice and will be leaving the company. She has been with TNA since 2011. There continues to be concern within TNA about their future with Spike TV. There has been no new deal signed but the United Talent Agency is representing TNA in ongoing negotiations. Word is that UTA will be shopping TNA around to other networks instead of jumping right into a new agreement with Spike.

Originally Posted by PWI Word coming out of last night's RAW is that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan has a broken neck. It was described as a minor break. Bryan will be undergoing a simple procedure this Thursday, not something complex like neck fusion surgery. The belief is that he will be out of action for 6-8 weeks. At RAW last night, WWE officials were looking at SummerSlam for a potential return. The injury came from years of Bryan working the in-ring style that he does, not just one instance. There were some people talking like the diving headbutt from the forklift & pallet at Extreme Rules may have furthered the injury but that hasn't been confirmed. Regarding the status of the WWE World Heavyweight Title, the belief is that when they get done with surgery, if there's nothing too bad discovered then they will likely keep the belt on Bryan. If they get a bad report from surgery, then Bryan could be stripped. Obviously WWE could decide to keep the title on Bryan and then change their minds at any moment..
