There have been several rumors floating around the internet these days about possible guest hosts of RAW.  By far the best idea that I have heard of lately is that of PGA golfer John Daly.  John Daly is one of the most entertaining guys on the PGA Tour, and I think he would make a great host for RAW.  Love him or hate him, people are always talking about him, and I think he would draw in a huge audience for WWE.  As always this can be just a huge rumor, but I for one hope that the WWE follows up on this rumor and signs John Daly to be a guest host for RAW, I know I'll watch.

Recent reports have shown signs that TNA Wrestling and Spike TV are close to reaching an agreement that would move TNA to Monday nights permanently starting after the March 1st live show.  The only thing that seems to be holding the deal from being signed is the time slot issue.  There have been reports that there are different views from within the company on whether or not to attack the WWE at the 9-11 slot, go from 8-10 to see how things progress, or even make the show three hours like the old WCW days.

In order for WWE to be competitive in these Monday night wars the WWE will have to lose its PG rating and go back to the attitude era.  If this deal gets signed it will mean a better product for all wrestling fans.  I personally hope that TNA makes the move to become more like the old WCW that way it'll force WWE to produce a better product.

After her backstage fight with Bubba the Love Sponge at last week's iMPACT! tapings, Awesome Kong has given her notice to the company that she is leaving.  This news was confirmed by Kong on a live video stream at Qik.com.  The altercation was over derogatory comments Bubba had made concerning the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.  Apparently Kong came running at Bubba screaming "This is for Haiti!!!" and landed 3 solid blows to the jaw before the two could be separated.  Kong has been taking part in fundraising efforts to raise money for the victims.  The TNA locker room was said to be almost 100% behind Kong, with most feeling that Bubba deserved what he got.  But Tuesday morning, Hulk Hogan was laughing about the incident on-air with Bubba and making fun of Kong which most likely led to Kong's quitting the company.  This is a major loss to TNA at this point in the Monday Night Wars.  Kong is the #1 top female in all of wrestling and simply in a class of her own.  WWE would be smart to grab her immediately.

It is starting to look like main storyline will involve Hulk Hogan leading the TNA originals after old nWo members show up to attempt to "get the band back together" and Hogan declines.

Also rumored to appear:

• Eric Bischoff - confirmed
• Scott Hall - confirmed
• Sean Waltman - confirmed
• Ric Flair - not yet signed
• RVD - at this point I'd be disappointed if he didn't show up
• Mr. Anderson - has been able to compete since BFG
• Jeff Hardy - legal troubles make a WWE return unlikely
  
• Angelina Love - if Visa issue have been resolved
• Tommy Dreamer - 90-day no compete clause before feuding with Raven
• Sid Vicious - signed but complications as always with Sid
• The Young Bucks - signed after tryout match at last week's IMPACT! tapings

Also, Hogan has been quoted as saying they have ONE BIG SURPRISE that nobody's figured out yet.  My best guess as to who this could be?  Brock Lesnar.  With his illness leaving him unable to compete in the UFC and Bobby Lashley leaving for Strikeforce, a MMA-type role spot in TNA would make sense.

Look for these and many more surprises come Monday night!

The two wrestlers with the best tag-team finishing move in the business are heading to TNA.

TNA President Dixie Carter announced on her Twitter page:

“Proud to report TNA has signed the Young Bucks. Thanks to all of you for the input on them. They show great potential.”

Southern California’s Young Bucks – comprised of "Slick" Nick Jackson and "Instant Replay" Matt Jackson – have wrestled across the United States and Japan.  They have been prominent stars in the National Wrestling Alliance since the first season of NWA Wrestling Showcase.

If you've never seen their finishing move "More Bang for Your Buck" you are in for a surprise.  Picture this.  Rolling fireman's carry slam by Matt, followed by a 450° splash by Nick, followed by a moonsault by Matt.  All classic moves, but when done together in one fluid motion, it simply looks awesome.  Hooray for the lost-art of tag-team finishing moves.

Dave Metzler of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that Bret Hart has signed a deal with WWE that will run from January 1-April 10th (about two weeks after Wrestlemania) of this year.  WWE and the Hart family just finished work on an upcoming DVD tribute to the Hart Foundation.  Although the story of the Montreal Screwjob is surely not forgotten, the working relationship between the McMahons and the Harts has been improved in recent years.  I can hear Hogan's response to this already.  "You think Vince isn't scared bruther?  He just rehired his arch-nemesis."

Yes, you heard that right.  HHH's weightlifting partner has completed his five week push from relative obscurity to the WWE Championship by beating John Cena tonight at WWE: Tables Ladders and Chairs.  Not to be outdone, HBK's buddy Drew McIntyre picked up the Intercontinental Championship in his second career PPV singles match.  Quick unrealistic championship pushes for unestablished gimmick wrestlers is what got WWE into trouble the last time they went into a Monday night war.  Just ask Henry HOG and Phineas PIG.

On January 4th, for the first time ever, WWE RAW and TNA IMPACT! will go head-to-head on cable television.  Expect TNA to pull out all the stops for this historic evening, including the debut of Hulk Hogan, amongst surely many others.  Dixie Carter was quoted recently on her Twitter account as saying “Hogan to debut Jan 4 in a live 3 hr iMPACT! special up against Raw. How’s that for a 1st shot? Spread the word.” Vince McMahon is rumored to be downplaying and no-selling TNA's competing broadcast, acting as if it is no concern to him or the WWE.  John Cena will be not even be in attendance for the January 4th RAW, as he will be doing the coin toss at the Fiesta Bowl.
