JEFF HARDY LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG BEFORE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO, ERIC BISCHOFF TEAMS UP WITH JEREMY PIVEN, FOLEY DOING MORE STAND UP, HULK HOGAN TALKS ABOUT TURNING HIS LIFE AROUND AND MORE

As Mike mentioned earlier, TNA is taping two episodes of Impact tonight in Huntsville, AL (competing against themselves and their taped broadcast of Impact, which makes absolutely no sense to me).  Jeff Hardy is slated to return (even though, as Mike reported on his Elite hotline yesterday, he was not supposed to let the cat out of the bag and some in TNA management are not happy that he did so on Twitter).  

It should also be noted that Hardy is slated to appear in court in North Carolina for sentencing in his ongoing drug court case on September 8, which ironically (or not) will be when the second episode taped tonight airs.  I hope that TNA doesn't find themselves in a position where they have a guy on their TV show that just got a jail sentence or a court ordered rehab stay earlier that day.

As Mike also reported yesterday on the hotline, internal expectations are that there will be around 2,000 people at the taping tonight. 

The Good Morning Show on the CBS affiliate in Greensboro, NC interviewed Hulk Hogan, pushing his Body By Vi challenge show which takes place tomorrow at The War Memorial Auditorium.  It was largely a puff piece where Hogan talked about Linda Hogan divorcing him and him hitting lows before turning his life around.  You can watch it by clicking here.  Hogan is also doing one of the shows in Jacksonville, FL on 10/1.  The pre-sale starts today at Ticketmaster.com.  Tyhe password is HULK.

Eric Bischoff and his partner Jason Hervey are working with former Raw Guest Host Jeremy Piven (of Entourage fame) on a new reality show called "Blow".  I could make a joke about the title but will instead tell you that it's a show about a New Orleans glassblower named Josh Cohen.

ESPN.com has an interview with celebrity chef Robert Irvine where he talks how he will be marrying former WWE Diva (and possible future TNA Knockout) Gail Kim in the spring.  You can read it by clicking here. 

Josh Costilow sent word that Mick Foley will be doing his Stand Up Comedy act on 10/1 after the Dreamwave Wrestling show at the 9th St. Pub in LaSalle, IL.  For more information, click here.
