Jim Ross’ WWE.com Removal, Beth Phoenix’s Surgery, Kane DVD

— On his Twitter page (http://www.twitter.com/anglefoods1), Kurt Angle confirmed our report yesterday that he would be at the iMPACT! tapings next week. TNA tapes 3 shows next week, so chances are Kurt will return on one of them as we noted yesterday.

— WWE is releasing a Kane DVD in the UK only, through Silvervision. More details are available at http://www.silvervision.co.uk/

— Beth Phoenix is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday for a torn ACL in Birmingham, AL. Dr. James Andrews will perform the procedure. She posted a blog about her injury on WWE.com.

— Jim Ross no longer appears on the Smackdown roster page. He tweeted the following about the removal: “My bio has been removed from SDown’s roster. Is that really news? I’ve been away from SD over 6 mos. Ain’t going back so why not remove it?”
