When asked within WWE on how things were like at TV with news making the rounds that Ric Flair and the company had parted ways, one WWE source added quote, "With the exception of Charles Robinson moping around, nothing has changed."

Randy Orton ripped Bubba Ray Dudley (a/k/a Brother Ray) during a WrestleCast interview. "I never liked him," Orton said of Bubba. "I never liked what he did because he only thought of himself. In the match my foot was broken, it was his fault... Bubba Dudley is the most out of shape, fat, non-work-ethic-having person I knew. And you had a bad taste in your mouth when you met him."

Orton also said he's happy he suffered broke a collarbone. "It is really great that I got hurt," he said. "I thank God that I broke my collarbone. At the time I wasn't thankful. I missed work, but being home with my wife the last two months of the pregnancy and witnessing the birth of my baby, which could have missed if I was on the road, that would have been horrible."

Keep in mind this interview was conducted the day before his motorcycle accident, so when he teases a return to Summerslam it should remain in the context of that day.

The booking for the Shawn Michaels/Chris Jericho segment at SummerSlam is said to have received less-than-stellar reviews from veteran wrestlers and WWE crew members.

Some wrestlers were apparently shaking their heads at the fact Shawn Michaels didn't attack Jericho after Jericho hit his wife, and thought he came off as a "wimp." One side of the argument backstage is that Michaels just admitted he was too unhealthy to fight anymore so there's no way he would go after Jericho, while the other side of the argument is that some dude just punched his wife and he didn't do anything about it.

It looks like Gail Kim is indeed through with TNA. No details yet regarding this sudden news, but they should be coming out soon.

Kim's profile and photos were quietly removed from the company website earlier today. Regarding the speculation on the removal of her stuff from the website, one TNA source said, "It means exactly what you think it means."

Kim had been with the company for nearly three years - since September 2005. Kim was originally brought in as a pesky heel valet for Jeff Jarrett and America's Most Wanted. When the Knockouts division was created, Kim was pegged as the star babyface. Kim became the first ever TNA Women's Knockout Champion and had a good feud with Awesome Kong. Kim lost the belt on an episode of Impact in January and the focus of the division shifted to some of the other girls. No longer the top face, the spotlight has been shifted to ODB and Taylor Wilde.

ProWrestling.net and PWInsider.com are both reporting that Gail Kim seems to be headed back to the WWE.

Sources inside TNA have said this came as a pretty big surprise and although most people knew they were renegotiating her contract, they assumed she would definitely resign with the company.

As of the last television tapings last week, there were no farewell parties and she wasn't saying "Goodbye" to anyone in the back. One source said that Gail "wanted guarantees TNA was not willing to give".

On the WWE front, they have apparently changed the trademark on Kim from inactive to active. PWInsider.com is reporting that they offered her a sizable increase in pay to come back. She is free to begin working there as soon as her contract is officially up and you can bet that if she does in fact return, she'll be pushed pretty heavily in the women's division.

Other sources have said that Kim left TNA on very good terms and the door is "always open" for a return in the future. This was more due to financial reasons than Gail being unhappy with the company and the way she's been used or presented on TNA television.

Kim's last TNA match is scheduled for tonight's Impact! in a street fight with Awesome Kong.
