Nick Aldis is already done with Impact after the post-Slammiversary TV tapings. He signed a short-term contract and is now a free agent again. Zicky Dice, who had done success in the NWA but was used as extremely low-level comedy in Impact, is also gone following the tapings. The latest on Nick Aldis is that WWE has serious interest in him for a high-level backstage role, but seemingly not as a wrestler.

Fandango is really doing some fantastic promo work, and now he has Johnny Bravo as his head of security.
Dango: “He trained with Villano VI in Tijuana. This man, how long did you spend in Vietnam?”
Bravo: “I vacationed there 6 1/2 days.”
Dango: “This man spent close to a week in Viet-fucking-nam.”
Great stuff.

ODB gave an interesting interview where she says she was doing a tryout in front of HHH and finally worked up the courage to talk to him. HHH said he loved her work and her character and wished he had someone like her during the DX days. But he also said Vince isn’t going to get it and to contact TNA where she can get over. She said he was so honest and gave such good advice that she walked out of the room and immediately called TNA, and a short time later she had a contract.

Impact’s 1,000th episode will air Sep. 14 and tape Sep. 9 in White Plains, NY. Impact has started to reach out to greats from the past to appear. Awesome Kong and the Beautiful People are already confirmed. Impact is expected to ask WWE to allow some stars to send in taped messages, but it remains to be seen if they will be allowed. It’s possible that stars currently contracted to AEW/ROH such as Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, and Christian Cage could appear in person.

I can't imagine the County Center would risk their WWE deal because when WWE comes in, they sell the place out. It's so damn small it's perfect for Impact, especially to film TV. Maybe the fact that WWE isn't running the building often anymore would open it up, but if it's not here, I don't know where the hell they could put it. White Plains is a decent sized city, but the County Center is the only place I can think of. There's not even a baseball field within 20 miles of there.

I’m sure that’s where it will be, and Impact has been in that building before. WWE doesn’t really have exclusivity anywhere in NY anymore, and they couldn’t care less about Impact anyway so there wouldn’t be any heat.

Anyone see Multiverse 2 on Aug. 20? I don't see it on WatchWrestling, and the Alex Shelley vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi match in particular I'd like to check out.

Very cute. Can’t beat an Italian-Japanese combination. Good worker but I’d have to see more to judge. I know that the magazines and Meltzers basically rank her as the top female worker in the world.

I watch a lot of Stardom and her matches vs Tam Nakano and Suzo Suzuki are very good. Wrestling as a heel or face everyone loves loves loves Guilia.

The 1,000th episode of Impact airs tonight and will be 2 hours 15 minutes. It was taped last week in Westchester and was said to be a really good show with a hyped, sold out crowd.
