Dolph Ziggler Aims To Be The Best, The Spirit Squad, & More
Dolph Ziggler reveals in an interview with the Ottawa Sun that he wants to be known as the best wrestler of all-time.
"I don't want it to be just a pipedream, I want to be the best," says Ziggler. "It's something that drives me. I don't want there to be a debate about who's the best, whether it's Ric Flair or Shawn Michaels or me. I want to make sure that they talk about Dolph Ziggler being the best wrestler ever."
While his break in WWE came as a member of The Spirit Squad, he says he wasn't thrilled with the idea.
"I was caught a little off guard, almost heartbroken," he says. "I had trained to be a bad-ass fighter and then they wanted me to be a cheerleader? But it gave us the experience, to be in the ring with the best wrestlers. When that was done, it was me going, 'OK, now I've had some time, give me something more along the lines of me being myself."
Ziggler also discusses Sunday's Money in the Bank pay-per-view, his wishlist of dream matches, the Ziggler character, and more. The interview can be read at http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/

Major Editing On Last Night's TNA iMPACT! Telecast
According to those that attended the TNA tapings this week, last night's show ending brawl was heavily edited. Some have called it a "Cliffsnotes version" of the angle.
TNA edited out Shannon Moore and Jesse Neal trying to save Rob Van Dam from Abyss, the segment where Brian Kendrick caused Simon Diamond and Al Snow to side with ECW as well as Abyss' reaction to Foley coming out.
Also, the crowd reactions on TV were said to be nowhere near to what they were live. It was still a great angle though and I'm told it only gets better next week.

Drew McIntyre's WWE Visa Issues, Kofi Kingston
-- In a recent interview, Drew McIntyre discussed his VISA issues. Here is an excerpt… "There was a process that had to be done, and a way it had to be done. It had to be done when it had to be done. I was always aware of the process that had to be done. It was blown out of proportion by so many people. ... What you saw on TV was exactly the truth. It had to be done at that time."
-- Kofi Kingston has been very busy promoting the MITB PPV. Kofi first spoke with IGN, the Miami Herald as well as the Baltimore Sun. When talking with the Baltimore Sun, Kofi discussed the possibility of turning heel, here is what he had to say… "People talk about good guys and bad guys but over the past few years the line has really kind of been blurred. ... I think as far as me being a good guy or a bad guy it's really kind of up to the WWE Universe and how they perceive me. As long as they keep liking me, I guess we'll go that route, but you never know what the future holds."

Ashley Massaro No-Shows Recent Event - Big Problems?
Ashley Massaro was scheduled to appear at K&S Wrestlefest's "Heat Wave" event in Carteret, New Jersey this past Saturday, but no-showed the event. No reason was given for her absence and her whereabouts remain unknown at this time.
This is not the first time in which the former Playboy model has no-showed a wrestling convention as she bailed on a few bookings following her departure from World Wrestling Entertainment two years ago.
There are substance abuse rumors surrounding her but we'll hold off for now. At one point during her time in WWE she showed up to a TV taping "so messed up that she was sent home."
On another note, one very young girl went with her mother to Saturday's show specifically to see the former WWE Diva, but left after a few hours when they realized she was not coming.
