Chris Harris has signed with WWE. This makes him the second homegrown TNA talent to make the jump to WWE, the first being Monty Brown (who wrestled on ECW as Marcus Cor Von for a brief time). He's hoping Harris has better luck than his predecessor.
Once upon a time, a man lived. This man was a man who really lived. He was the best there was at what he did, living. Living is what he did, and he did it well. In fact, he did it too well. He lived so well that he made other people stop living. That is why he had to be stopped. To stop him, they sent Rimo.

Brock has all of my support and respect. So what if you lose or don't make the team? A real man has to try. I respect that in him.

People are mad at him because he is getting a lot of press. That is just a lot of haters.

No one has said anything bad about is ability. Because the man is big any has been a wrestler his whole life. I would never get on hhis bad side.

Win or lose he is putting it all out there.

I think the hate he's getting from wrestling fans comes more from the way he acted like a big baby and just walked out on the company as soon as it became time for him to start putting other people over. If this was somebody who left the business on more professional terms, I think you'd see him getting a lot less hate from wrestling fans, but he just left too bitter of a taste. It's hard not to want to see him get his ass kicked.

Paul Heyman did an interview with the UK Sun. There were some interesting highlights to the piece:

Why Heyman Left WWE: "I think what it boils down to is Vince McMahon and I have totally separate and distinct visions for what a wrestling or sports entertainment product should be. There’s nothing wrong with having those different visions, the problem was that Vince started to take the difference of opinion personally. And once that personality conflict comes into play, when you’re trying to steer the direction of a product, it becomes a bad work environment. So Vince didn’t like working with me anymore and I didn’t like working with Vince anymore. And it’s his company, so obviously he has to stay!"

ECW Being Revived as a full-time entity: "The brand should never have been brought back after the very first One Night Stand in 2005. The follow-up show in 2006 made money, but only because it served as the platform for Rob Van Dam to beat John Cena. Then Sci-Fi Channel was willing to give a test run for the brand ECW and they currently pay a lot of money for that TV show. So the theory of bringing ECW back and making it profitable worked as a business move. But the expectation from the audience that ECW was being brought back only served to be a monumental letdown."

Heyman on the new ECW: "By comparison, if someone were to resurrect The Beatles and say: “You know what, we want to make them more globally accepted, so we’re going to have a white guy, an Asian female, a Hispanic Bisexual and an African-American with a Scottish accent.” In the land of WWE that actually makes sense. But no matter how you look at it, it’s just not the Beatles. So in the same light, it’s just not ECW. ‘Extreme’ doesn’t mean blood, or tables, or barbed wire. ECW was always about progression, moving forward, giving more bang for the buck. For example, a finish in most every match. Simple thought. A winner and a loser. And a story with it that makes sense. But if you voiced that opinion, Vince would take it personally. If you look at the attempts to recreate the nWo, to re-create Goldberg and, even now, trying to recreate Ric Flair’s career on the line, Vince’s magic only happens when he creates it from the get-go. If Vince doesn’t create it from the get-go, he can’t embrace the formula."

The December to Dismember PPV: "I thought the undercard was horrible. I thought that the design of the show itself made no sense. I just felt that the entire layout of the show, the entire complexion of the event was a downer. I also thought that we were doing Bobby Lashley no favours the way he was going to win the title. Lashley winning the title, especially if you eliminate Rob Van Dam and CM Punk early, would be leapfrogging over RVD and Punk. Van Dam was the sentimental favourite, Punk was the kid that all the crowd was getting behind and they wanted to see the upset. If you don’t appease the need for the audience to see that new hero get crowned like Punk did the week before at Survivor Series when DX let him say ‘Are you ready?’ then the audience will feel ripped off. If you don’t put that spotlight on Van Dam, with whom the paying customers have just taken this long ride back into the title chase, then the paying customer will feel ripped off. My opinion was to start the chamber off with the Big Show saying: “I’m a seven foot tall, 500lb giant, I’m gonna mow through every one of you.” And the first to take him on would be Punk. Playing to the fact that UFC is so hot and in the public consciousness, Punk chokes out Big Show in the first round of the Elimination Chamber, four-and-a-half minutes in, and now the champion is out. You know for a fact, before any two contenders lock up, I’m getting a new champion at the end of this match. Then, the first guy to come out after Big Show v Punk, would be Van Dam. You let Van Dam and Punk fight it out, and then you start feeding in the heels. Vince hated this. He especially hated the fact that Big Show liked it."



Ahh, how I wish that Elimination Chamber had gone like that. I know Vince was all behind Bobby Lashley being a huge deal (and I know Lashley had his supporters among the crowd, too), but it was obvious to anyone watching that match that of the three faces, Lashley was the least over. Anyone else remember the "bullshit" chant from the crowd when they eliminated CM Punk and RVD at the beginning, one right after the other?
Once upon a time, a man lived. This man was a man who really lived. He was the best there was at what he did, living. Living is what he did, and he did it well. In fact, he did it too well. He lived so well that he made other people stop living. That is why he had to be stopped. To stop him, they sent Rimo.

I think that might be taking that statement too literally. I don't think he meant to say ECW was on the same level as the Beatles.
