Thompson will be promoting "Knucklehead," a WWE Studios film that he stars in alongside Big Show. On October 25, 2010 the guest host will be country music star Toby Keith.

Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry where he talks about Paul Heyman's impossibility of joining TNA, the upcoming UFC 177 PPV, and TNA going ECW for One Last Stand. Here's an excerpt from the latter:

We're getting lots of questions on the revisited, ECW TV storyline being used by TNA. For the record, I hope that all wrestling organizations do well as the individuals who comprise the various company's rosters are largely passionate fans living out their dreams. I'm not a 'dream squasher.' Do I think that this matter will be successful? I don't know. It might be o.k. for a one off sort of deal for a company that needs a 'hit.' Time will answer the 'will it be successful question' which is somewhere subjective in itself as what is the true definition of 'success' in wrestling? It varies by company, that's for sure.

...

To me, the old ECW officially ended with the last WWE produced PPV in 2005. But as I said, if wrestling fans enjoy something and want to invest their time and energy into it, so be it because it is and always will be about the fans.
