WWE Announces Goldberg vs Lesnar – Survivor Series Main Event
WWE announced Brock Lesnar vs. Bill Goldberg in a WrestleMania XX rematch for the November 20th Survivor Series pay-per-view from Toronto.
WWE announced the following on WWE.com:
It’s finally happening.
After 12 years, Goldberg will return to a WWE ring for an apocalyptic showdown with Brock Lesnar, turning the WWE Universe’s “fantasy warfare” into hard-hitting reality. The battlefield of choice? Survivor Series, live Sunday, Nov. 20, on WWE Network.
Goldberg’s path to the ring went from pie-in-the-sky hypothetical to signed and sealed over a matter of weeks, as Paul Heyman responded to the former World Heavyweight Champion’s noncommittal SportsCenter interview with a challenge on behalf of The Beast Incarnate. Goldberg, Heyman explained, was not just a mirror image of Brock throughout the Monday Night War, but he holds the distinction of a 1-0 record against The Conqueror. This, of course, is something Heyman could not abide, especially given Goldberg’s casual dismissing of Lesnar in the lead-up to the release of WWE 2K17, where both are featured Superstars (Lesnar is the cover athlete; Goldberg a downloadable exclusive).
Even so, Heyman must have been surprised when Goldberg took him up on his offer, declaring The Beast to be “last” on his infamous hit list, with the time and place confirmed one week later on WWE’s official Twitter account. Now, at WWE’s fall classic, Goldberg will either join the ranks of the conquered, or forever be known as The One Who Beat the One in 23-1.
Tune in to see this epic clash of icons when WWE Survivor Series airs live Sunday, Nov. 20, at 7 ET/4 PT, only on the award-winning WWE Network.
Survivor Series will also feature RAW vs. SmackDown in three Traditional Elimination Matches with male Superstars, female Superstars and tag teams.
Billy Corgan – I Want Full Control Of TNA, Dixie Lied About WWE! (NEW COURT DOCS)
TNA President Billy Corgan wants full control over the company and claims Dixie Carter lied to him about her sale discussions with WWE … this according to the newly unsealed complaint.
Pro Wrestling Sheet obtained the documents which allege that Billy financially bailed TNA out of shutting down multiple times and during the last instance he made some demands.
The document states, “Impact Ventures and Mrs. Salinas (Dixie) also entered into an equity pledge agreement with plaintiff whereby Mrs. Salinas pledged 100% of her equity interest in Impact Ventures to plaintiff as security for Impact Ventures’ performance of it’s obligations.”
According to Billy’s lawyers, Dixie denied that she had any discussions with WWE — but when push came to shove, she told the entire locker room a different story during a company-wide meeting.
He also claims he was left in the dark about Fight Network’s recent funding … adding, “This recent conduct is consistent with the way that Mrs. Salinas and the other managers have dealt with plaintiff since the inception of his involvement with Impact Ventures. They have failed to keep plaintiff apprised of matters of great significance to the company; they have routinely misled plaintiff with information necessary to discharge his duties as President to manage the day-to-day operations of the business; and they have regularly interfered with, subverted, or ignored plaintiffs authority to manage the affairs of the company.”
Corgan also wants TNA to pay him compensatory damages for not keeping their end of the bargain. The docs explain, “As a direct and proximate result of these breaches of contract, plaintiff has been damaged in an amount to be proven at trial.”
Billy’s lawyer also included a copy of multiple emails which led to Corgan’s filing and they show company officials being unresponsive — including Dixie Carter. He claims she merely sent him an email saying said she’d get in touch with him the following week to “discuss my role, duties and responsibilities” with the company.

WWE Bringing Back The Elimination Chamber PPV?
WrestleMania kicks into full gear at the Royal Rumble but the road to WrestleMania will include a returning pay-per-view. The Elimination Chamber is scheduled to return in February. There’s no word yet on if this will be a Raw or Smackdown-branded show but if you follow the list of alternating Raw/Smackdown pay-per-views, it would seem that the Chamber show will be a Smackdown-branded show. The last Raw-branded show before the Royal Rumble is the Roadblock PPV in December so Elimination Chamber will probably be a Smackdown show and Fastlane will probably be a Raw-branded show. The last Elimination Chamber show took place on May 31, 2015, in Corpus Christi, TX. It was actually a show that was put together at the last minute for the WWE Network. That date was originally scheduled to be a regular live event.
The show was dropped at one point because of logistical issues with some arenas because it’s tough to hang a 10-ton structure with large scoreboards above the ring area. WWE had always been open to bringing back the concept if they could book the show in an arena that could accommodate them.
WWE announced on Sunday that WWE Fastlane will be taking place on March 2, 2017, in Milwaukee’s BMOP Harris Bradley Center.
As of now, these are the pay-per-views scheduled through September 2017:
Royal Rumble (January)
Elimination Chamber (February)
Fastlane (March)
WrestleMania (April)
Payback (April or May)
Extreme Rules (May)
Money In The Bank (June)
Battleground (July)
SummerSlam (August)
Clash Of Champions (September)
More shows will be added since they need 2 shows on most months.

Billy Corgan’s TNA Lawsuit To Be Unsealed Today, Dixie Carter Says TNA Is Not Insolvent, More
It will be interesting to see what happens later today with the Billy Corgan – TNA situation as Corgan’s attorneys will be allowed to file a redacted version of their lawsuit to protect certain materials from being brought to the public light as Corgan has claimed “sensitive” information could fall into the hands of their competitors. That redacted version will be available to the public sometime around 4pm EST today. It’s possible that if there is going to be a settlement between the sides, it will be made before the documents are unsealed by the Chancery Court of Nashville.
As noted, Corgan filed a motion last week to compel Dixie Carter-Salinas and Impact Ventures, LLC to “provide full and fair responses” after not being satisfied with previous responses. Dixie responded by saying Impact Ventures was not insolvent and has not been insolvent since August 11th, 2016, stating that they do not fit the state of Tennessee’s definition of insolvent, meaning, Impact Ventures’ assets are of greater value than its debt.
If TNA and the related defendants in the lawsuit do not admit to claims by Corgan and his lawyers, then they have to hand over all documents related to Impact Ventures being insolvent or unable to pay all of its debts in full as it came due from January 1st, 2016 to the present, all documents sent to or received from WWE or any of its representatives from January 1st, 2016 to present and all documents sent to or received from “any third party” regarding that third party’s potential acquisition of Impact Ventures LLC, TNA Entertainment LLC or any of the assets owned by either entity.
Corgan asked that the ownership of the TNA library be stated as well as identify the nature and extent of “each member’s” ownership interest, that the company identify all of the current officers, directors and managers, identify all of it’s assets, and for the LLC to produce financial statements.
17,000 pages of documents were being “reviewed and assessed” by Corgan’s attorneys which they received from TNA and other defendants.
