Jimmy Yang announced Monday on Twitter that he received payment from TNA Wrestling after performing for the organization in late June.

He wrote, "Woo Woo Woo finally got paid i guess better late then never."

Yang complained recently on Twitter that a check issued to him by the organization bounced when he attempted to deposit into his banking account. He was called "unprofessional" by an office employee for drawing attention to the matter.

Good for him.

Also, good to see that Akio is a Zack Ryder fan.

Below is the full content listing for WWE's "The Ladder Match 2: Crash & Burn" DVD set that comes out on October 11th:

“It’s the veritable definition of “high risk, high reward” in sports entertainment—a rich reward hangs high above the ring and a superstar must climb a ladder to win the match and retrieve the prize. But the falls from the ladders can be devastating, and the punishment one can inflict when using the cold steel ladders as weapons can be brutal. The first Ladder Match DVD in 2007 was one of the biggest-selling DVDs in WWE History, and now the Ladder Match is back with an all-new collection of memorable bouts from WWE, WCW, ECW, and more in The Ladder Match 2: Crash & Burn. ”

Holy crap! The Katie Lea vs Beth match is on the DVD?


Didn't expect that one. I also didn't expect Smothers/Candido either.

I go to Tacoma for the weekend and there's a new thread, sub-forum, and FWL!!!

I missed the Tacoma show due to my Grandpa having a stroke/heart attack/lung thing. Oh family ...

But on a personal wrestling note, before I left Friday I interviewed a candidate for our Program this year. I really, badly wanted to pop in and tell you about it.

He stated at some point during the interview he really likes watching wrestling. I pushed him some more and he said the old AWA stuff, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, ROH ...

Needless to say he got his offer letter today.
