- Sources say WWE superstars Jeff Hardy and Umaga are pushing hard for the company to bring back recently released TNA superstar Ron Killings. At this point, Killings has a spot waiting for him in AAA in Mexico and once his working papers are complete, he will likely be heading down there to work. Killings had two very short stints as WWE Hardcore Champion back in 2001.
- WWE's No Mercy 2007 pay-per-view did 265,000 buys, which is up from last year's 197,000 buys. Last year's No Mercy was a SmackDown only pay-per-view and this year's show featured all three brands. The updated buyrate for SummerSlam 2007 is 558,000 which is up from the previous number of 548,000. SummerSlam 07's buys are also up from 2006, which was 555,000.
WWE's Cyber Sunday pay-per-view a few months back, looks to have a preliminary estimate of 191,000 pay-per-view buys, which would be the second lowest of the year, behind the One Night Stand pay-per-view. Furthermore, the Cyber Sunday event only drew 118,000 buys from North America. The event featured the return of Shawn Michaels and Undertaker vs. Batista with Austin as the special referee. 2006's Cyber Sunday was built around the battle of the World Champions and did a buyrate of 226,000.
- WWE's Mick Foley and Michael "P.S." Hayes recently got into a major argument during a filming of the WWE Legends show on WWE 24/7. Not much else is known, but the argument had to do with the Vince McMahon death angle from earlier this year. Foley was adamant that the angle was in bad taste while Hayes strongly defended the angle. No word yet on when this particular show will air, but keep a look out for it.
