TNA Debut in Austria Canceled, Masters Hit on Google, WWE Taking Advantage of HollyWood
PWInsider reports the scheduled TNA debut in Linz, Austria has been canceled. The cancellation was made due to travel issues that arose with the remainder of the tour.
WWE talents are being told at television last week there are no complimentary tickets to Summerslam, which will sell out at any time.
A number of people within WWE were talking about Chris Masters’ name ended up among the top Google searches for Monday and Tuesday after his Raw return.
The dark match main event of Tuesday’s Smackdown/ECW taping in Long Island, NY will be Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk for the World title in a steel cage.
This weekend’s WWE house show at the Westchester County Center on Sunday is completely sold out.
-As we’ve mentioned a few times here on the site, WWE is planning to use this year’s Summerslam event in Los Angeles as a way to position the event somewhat closer to Wrestlemania in importance in hopes of building it to a position where eventually, their August PPV can be one that cities bid on hosting. Part of that strategy has been to hold AXXESS events that weekend.
Another part of that strategy will be to try and tap into the Hollywood community. WWE will be hosting a number of private parties and events that week in conjunction with their Hollywood agency, WME. The plan is to network with current WWE business partners, such as MyNetworkTV and NBC/Universal while also trying to help woo potential future partners and sponsors. WME has enlisted the entire agency to work on the project, so it’s being seen as important internally.
