He's in a band called The High Crusade along with Chris Sabin and Petey Williams and others. It was one of his band mates who reported the news that he'd injured it at a TNA Live Event, so unfortunately it's true.

I did my collarbone a couple of years ago, it hurt like hell and I had a sling on for at least 4 weeks. Then it still felt sore for a few more weeks.

Tara has been having physio for her injury, but is definitely on the tour.

Nightmare, that tag match would have been absolutely off the chart. Best of luck to him though, hopefully a speedy recovery as possible.

Glad Tara's okay.

JR was at the SD tapings this week. Unfortunately both his promo and the match he was special ref for will not be shown as part of the show.

Most likely due to the massive ovation JR got, unlike the dub'd in stuff they normally have to put over guys who appear on SD.

Lol that's nothing. I got a stream of Impact without the dubbing ... It was like Harlequins v Salford in the back.

Unfortunately that's pretty much true eh. It's exactly like the description Jim Cornette gave about WCW 10 years ago - "They can take talent, and make it no talent!". Still think Jeff Hardy's an absolute idiot for giving up what he had - the most popular wrestler on the planet working for the biggest company on the planet, why the f**k would you leave that?!

Because Vince will make him work for his money, that's why! It's the same with Hogan, Nash & RVD. They want the accolades but don't wanna put in the hours. They go to TNA and only have to work like 6 or so dates a year. Vince will make them work like 200 and all over the country, which fair play is a gruelling schedule. But it's not like they're not paid well for it! Hardy was apparently offered a 120 date a year deal, and more money than Shawn Michaels to come back, but decided to go to TNA because he can take drugs and get fat and nobody will care.

TBH, I'd like a job where I only had to work 200 days a year.

Not so sure I'd want a job where I can end up in a wheelchair through one wrong move mind...

Wade Barretts new group on Smackdown is called The Corre

Wonder if at Wrestlemania it will be Nexus vs The Corre
