Rumor, Hype or Solid info? WWE stars looking to jump.. *From Observer*

Wicked-Wrestling.com (They got it from somewhere else the Observer something)

Early estimates for BFG are between 45,000 and 50,000 domestic buys, which TNA are very happy about. That's about the low end of what ECW were doing on PPV. When the final number comes in it should be the highest in TNA history.

Only three PPV matches have been decided for Genesis as of now. AMW vs LAX, Abyss vs Sting and Angle vs Joe. The feeling is that those three matches alone should be enough to get people to buy the PPV, particularly Angle vs Joe.

The thinking is do the next on the road PPV in either January or February, probably in a border town such as Hidalgo as that's one of the best mid-sized WWE cities and there's a rabid fanbase.

Thanks to Angle being super positive about TNA and Christian not having a bad word to say about the promotion either there's an icreasing number of near-top WWE guys quietly discussing the possibility of jumping over should the chance present itself when their contracts expire. The drop in pay is made up for by the much easier schedule, but ironicly many TNA guys are complaining about being booked by the office on too many indy dates.

There is scheduled to be a major marketing push for the two hour special next week. They've bought local cable company ads during Raw (they're unable to buy national advertising on USA as the WWE contract forbids USA from advertising other wrestling companies). The ads will be focused around major markets during Raw and Smackdown, and on ESPN and Comedy Central. Radio advertising in major markets has also been bought. The ads are based around the theme "Now that Kurt Angle has jumped to TNA, TNA is making the jump to Prime Time".

TNA and Bob Sapp have a mutual interest in each other, but nothing formal has been discussed.

TNA were curious about Scott Hall, as he's a name always asked about by those at the Impact tapings, but following reports of Hall at a recent fan fest with Nash and Waltman they've decided against making a move for him.

WFA officials have been contacting TNA with regards to trying to arrange at MMA match between Angle and Daniel Puder and a cross promotional fued.

Nash has been telling people he has not signed any contract with TNA, but has a handshake deal with Jarrett that he won't be returning to the WWE.

So Cal Val will be joining Raven's new Flock. She was planned a long time ago to be Raven's girlfriend, so that might be how she gets in. The group will be called 'The Movement'.

Senshi is likely to end up as part of LAX. Konnan has been pushing for him to join for months but has always had the idea rebuffed. But he's managed to convince Russo.

That's what I initially thought. But why would this be reported unless there were some people actually considering jumping?

And if there is, why not name them?

Very confusing indeed.

If the Observer starts naming names, they open themselves up to much more than just rumors.  They betray a source and royally **** over a talent.  They start getting specific, they open a Pandora's Box of troubles.  It could mean that they really do have nothing, but if they have something of substance, they don't name anyone for the protection of that talent and themselves.

I never thought that tool would make me stop hating Joe's fans as much as I do, but damn Meltzer brings out the hate in me more then Church, The South, Pickles, and lack of Flat tax ever did. and boy does Bischoff tears him a new one in his book.

Remember that article a while back about Randy Orton failing a drug test which claimed the Observer as its source?.... And Dave Meltzer legitimately losing his temper a few days after that story had been posted?... Yeah.

"Wicked-Wrestling.com"

That pretty much says it all right there. If it were from Pro-Wrestling.com, i MIGHT give it some credence, not that that says a whole lot considering Pro-Wrestling.com is the king of **** pesudo-dirtsheets as it is.
