    Sinn Bodhi Provides New Update on The Health of Jake Roberts

    - Sinn Bodhi posted the following on his Facebook, giving the latest health update on Jake "The Snake" Roberts…

    UPDATE on Jake The Snake Roberts: Jake is NOT in a coma! Please don't believe crappy gossip... Jake still has Phnemonia. He is not getting enough oxygen so he has been sedated and put on a ventilator... (Sedated only because the procedure is painful). Doctors have to wait & see how he responds before they can continue with MRI & other tests as the Ventilator is inhibiting but nessecary... And until the Phnemonia is cleared up it is preventing Docs from seeing what the underlying problems are. Docs can only speculate on how long he will be in this state. #GetBetterJake You can leave Jake Get-well-messages on Twitter @JakeSnakeDDT

    Jake Roberts Described As Having Brain Abnormality

    Kyle Magee, the lawyer, manager and roommate of WWE Hall of Famer Jake "The Snake" Roberts, wrote in a letter to Bill Apter that the mass discovered in the head of Roberts was described as a brain abnormality. Magee's theory is that the abnormality was a result of all the bumps Roberts had taken during his career.
    He did clarify that Roberts was not unconscious on his flight to Las Vegas and instead informed flight attendances that he was in severe pain and was having shortness of breath. Roberts was rushed to a hospital and then put into an induced coma. Magee also noted that Roberts had been sick for around a week and still wanted to do Sinn Bodhi's show in Las Vegas on Friday.

I know who I want to face at Takeover, I'd like to face Tyson Kidd and Tyler Breeze and you, Sami Zayn, because this is NXT and I'm Adrian Neville, so I'll face each and every single of you at the same time, what do you say, Mr. Regal?

    Talent Concerned About Contracts Offered by Lucha Undergound Series

    PWInsider has confirmed a previous report that John Hennigan, Hernandez, Chavo Guerrero, Richochet and others have been offered contracts for the Lucha Underground series being produced by El Rey. The site reports that the contracts being offered are a point of concern, as they are vaguely worded and would require talent to be exclusive to the series for up to "seven series cycles." It isn't clear what "series cycles" means, depending on how long each season goes and if it follows a traditional season format, that could be as long as seven years.

    There are several other issues raised by the talent, including that there is no specific number of guaranteed appearances on the series. If they are prevented from competing elsewhere, obviously this could be a major issue for them. The wording would prevent them from working not only national TV promotions, but indie dates if Lucha Underground didn't clear them. The site notes that the impression is that it would be the case even if they weren't doing the same characters as on Lucha Underground. Clearing every indy date isn't particularly feasible and so there appears to be a misunderstanding at the show level of how indy booking really works.

    Because of the length of the contracts, it also means that they are not structured in a way to provide for raises from season to season which has talent concerned about the commitment length. There is also a no-compete clause that is said to be longer than WWE's ninety-day period and is also unpaid (as opposed to WWE's paid one). They call for talent to work publicity days without pay and with no cap on how many they might have to do.

    Several prospective talent have met with Andre Verdun, who worked on Wrestling Society X for MTV and is now a lawyer. Verdun is representing several of the talent and is trying to negotiate deals that give El Ray what they want in terms of talent while protecting the wrestlers. The show is currently set for taping dates on the following in Los Angeles:

    September 6th
    September 7th
    September 13th
    September 14th
    September 27th
    September 28th
    October 4th
    October 5th
    October 18th
    October 19th
    October 25th
    October 26th
     

    Opinionated View- This just sounds really unrealistic. If I'm say Richochet who makes pretty good money doing DGUSA/EVOVLE why would I jeopardize for a project that may or may not last. Also why close the door on getting any chance to go to WWE or TNA for several years. I could get doing what TNA used to do saying "You can't work TV dates." Or something but this just doesn't seem that they understand how wrestling works.

    8/27 Impact Wrestling Viewership

    Last night's 8/27 TNA Impact Wrestling on Spike TV drew 928,000 viewers. This is up from last week's show that drew only 852,000 viewers in the company's first show on Wednesday nights.

    Opinionated View- Well up is always good. The problem is anytime you change nights it will break people's habits of watching  show. Give it time and TNA should be back to where it was. If freaking Spike keeps promoting the show correctly.

    Update on Why WWE Rushed the Network Into Canada

    The WWE launched the WWE Network in Canada, and since the launch, many subscribers have been upset with the lack of Video OnDemand content and the overall Network. 

    WWE and Rogers Communication made the decision together to include a small amount of Video OnDemand at the launch. Word is that the whole process was rushed because the WWE wanted to increase the Network subscriber numbers quickly before the end of the year.

    Opinionated View- Classic short term thinking. You may raise numbers by the end of the year. How ever a number of people might get upset and than not renew. Also you might have people that could have joined down the line that are now saying "not going to do it. Doesn't sound worth it."

    The Latest On Smackdown's Move To Thursday Nights

    There will likely be several changes made to WWE's schedule if Smackdown moves to Thursday nights, although WWE hasn't made any official announcements yet. 

    International airings of Smackdown will also change. The episodes that air in Canada will also move to Thursday night. Australia and the UK, who previously got the show almost a day earlier than the US, would have to wait until it airs here. It would be impossible for WWE to send it out any earlier due to needing time to edit the broadcast. 

    WWE Network shows like NXT, Superstars and seasons two of Legends House would likely move to Wednesday in new timeslots. NXT and Superstars had been airing earlier on Thursdays for the past two weeks, which could mean that WWE is already preparing for the Smackdown move.
