Speculating on the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favored pastime of many fans, perhaps second only to actually watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors being churned out by the pro wrestling rumor mill.
Important reminder: Rumors are just that -- rumors. None of this has been confirmed as legitimate news or fact, it's just circulating around the pro wrestling rumor mill. Remember, take it all with a grain of salt.
Rumors for the Day:
- As expected, Vince McMahon is "freaking out" over the low ratings for Raw and SmackDown, according to Bryan Alvarez.
- Speaking of which, that's the reason WWE has announced Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar for the Oct. 19 episode of Raw. If there isn't a turnaround quick, expect more like this.
- Part of increased security measures from WWE at its events could include cracking down on fans leaning over barriers or yelling at wrestlers too much.
- There are apparently some issues with Alberto El Patron that still haven't come to light as far as his status with the likes of AAA and Lucha Underground.
- Here's your regular "morale in TNA is low" rumor, considering how little buzz there is for Bound for Glory and the still uncertain future of the company.
