- They kept Havok off the tapings as they're working on ideas for her return and want to make it a big deal, couple of concepts in place. There is a ton of stuff going on with the women and its just about finding the right place to fit her in so it that makes sense.

- X-Division will get more focus in the next couple shows and Slammiversary.

- Bob said there are a couple more contract announcements soon.

- Not sure yet if the Impact before Slammiversary will be live or not. Should find out early next week, however its a probability.

- There might be more Impacts on the road later in the year, they're looking at options.

- York PA is a house show, more will be announced soon when researched and explored. Probably in the PA region or somewhere in the north east.

- Jeff Hardy healing up nicely quicker than expected, Eddie Edwards healed very fast, one of the benefits of taping in advance, Davey broke his leg during a house show but on TV it was barely noticed.

- Gunner will be back, he had to go away to film a movie and we had a planned storyline with him but again like Havok, about finding the right time.

- As they did when debuting on Fox, Spike, DA, they're not going to comment on rumours about TV deals, as it just gives people publicity.

- Contract renewals being announced soon, three people.

- A lot of people backstage shocked by what Eric Young did for real in a good way. Including the Discovery rep. Some laughing when they were not supposed to, Melendez a tremendous seller.

Not as interesting as part 1. No real juicy details. They should start to defend themselves when rumors about Destination America is having "buyers remorse" and are unhappy.

Address those rumors and defend yourself. Why stay silent?

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Because addressing them just fuels the fire.

It gives credence to yellow journalism sites like this who operate with as much journalistic integrity as North Korea and legitimizes them as a "say" in the industry.

If you work in sports, for example, and some idiot joins Twitter and starts saying that he has sources that say the New York Rangers are going to fire their general manager because of X, Y and Z, and we have no way to validate the credentials or background of this user, you pay them no mind. You don't come out defending yourself against every gnat, treating them all like a frontal assault on your company.

As to Ryder's stuff, I'm glad he's doing them. We live in a new era, a very digital friendly world, so the more digital friendly the company is, and the more transparent they seem by fielding questions from fans like this in an "impromptu" format, the better off it looks for them.

To me, this is a way of giving half answers but building up fan appreciation by doing so simply because you give them a platform to ask and have questions answered, even if they're only answered in part.
