- Former WWE star Chris Masters has signed a new deal with WWE after working the Indys for nearly 2 years. Several sources indicate that he had a long personal meeting with Vince, which many stars do not get when signing with the company.

- The countdown clock energy drink theory turned out correct, as TNA have made the following announcement:
TNA WRESTLING LAUNCHES A FULLY INTEGRATED SPONSORSHIP WITH STACKER 2 – 6 HOUR POWER EXTREME ENERGY SHOT AND DEBUTS NEW NATIONAL TV COMMERCIAL
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 4, 2009
Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling today officially announced its partnership with Stacker 2 – 6 Hour Power Extreme Energy Shot. The sponsorship will be fully integrated with in ring signage, national TV presence, website exposure, and on many other digital platforms.
TNA Wrestling and 6 Hour Power will also debut a nationwide commercial campaign to brand 6 Hour Power with TNA Superstars. The first of these commercials featuring Kurt Angle is set to air for the first time exclusively on Spike TV today during “TNA iMPACT!” from 9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT. Commercials featuring other TNA Superstars including Booker T will debut in the weeks to come.
Stacker 2, Diet and Energy Specialists, who manufactures 6 Hour Power Extreme Energy Shot and the famous Stacker 2 Diet Supplement line is no stranger to the sport of professional wrestling. Owner Robert Occhifinto felt that “partnering with TNA Wrestling was a natural fit because the show is all about extreme energy.”
Occhifinto states that “Stacker 2 has had a long, successful history in the wrestling ring and completely embraces and values the sport of professional wrestling, TNA and TNA’s loyal fans.”
“The high energy of TNA Wrestling is a perfect match for Stacker 2: 6 Hour Power,” said TNA Chief Marketing Officer Steve Allison. “We are excited to integrate this brand into our wide range of media and look forward to a long partnership.”
Stacker 2 – 6 Hour Power is a 2oz. “Extreme Energy Shot” that is available in 5 delicious flavors. 6 Hour Power is sugar free and formulated with B-vitamins for energy that lasts with no sugar crash. It’s available at convenience stores and retailers.
- It turns out Ric Flair did not sign a short term deal with WWE and is still without a contract, although that may change shortly. His reps are still booking him for other non wrestling opportunities, although he severed ties with ROH out of respect for WWE.

TNA making leaps and bounds this year. Deals coming left, right and centre. Good for them. I look forward to the next few years and them taking it to the competition
TNA, TNA, TNA…
Here is my 2 cents with Flair…Please stop wrestling, but please come back as a manager and help out Legacy…Seriously, Legacy is a jobber stable and needs to get vicious like Orton is himself. Flair becomes their manager and it adds a “SUPRISE” to the WWE universe, something we haven’t seen in YEARS! This same old crap of Batista, Triple H, Flair vs Orton was dead 5 years ago, please let it go Vince…Please let it go..
Masters is not gonna make a difference in WWE. They let Kennedy go a real future star with alot to offer and now they bring back Masters who is a cardboard cut out for steriod addiction. Kennedy was right the Wellness policy is a joke. Guess Masters joined McMahon’s club, and it is not the “kiss my ass club”. If and when Flair signs that WWE deal I hope he is prepared to be made a fool of, he will become Lecacy’s whipping boy and his own legacy will be tarnished.
The cornerstone of Vince Mc Mahon’s kiss my ass club!! Indeed…
WWE did a good decision of having chris master’s back .
Now I know that Chris Masters has had a colorful history with steroids, but I don`t see why some should be so hard on him. Nearly everyone in WWE has had some contact if you will, with substances and the like including alot of fan favorites.Myself personally believe that Masters would be a great return to what is starting to look like a somewhat shaky roster.Kennedy most likely will go to TNA and If he does, probabaly will never return to WWE.Chris meanwhile, has great potential to become a big star, we all know aboput Vince`s love for big men, and Masters pretty much has all the requirements.
Masters should debut at the submission PPV as a shock returnee
