I have some exciting news for my readers in India. On Saturday night, Ring Ka King will debut on the Colors Network. This show will feature a mixture of wrestlers from India as well as several TNA wrestlers including Abyss, Matt Morgan, Mickie James, Magnus, and Scott Steiner. In addition to airing in India, the network can be seen on International cable packages throughout the world. In the US, the channel is known as Aapka Colors and is available on the Dish Network. Make sure to check your local listings for air times.
In addition to this show, TNA and Endemol India have also teamed up to create a wrestling school in Mumbai.

The wrestling world was reminded just how dangerous the sport can be earlier this week when news broke that an aspiring wrestler died from an injury to his head he suffered while practicing a wrestling move at Gillberg's Pro Wrestling Academy. Quentin V. Jackson was only 25 years old.
The Gillberg Wrestling Academy is located in Severn, Maryland, and is run by former WWE Superstar Duane Gill. In the late '90s, he was repacked as Gillberg to mock the success WCW was having with Bill Goldberg. In 1998, he won the WWE Light Heavyweight Championship from Christian and went on to hold the title for over a year.

Sunday night is The Royal Rumble. The winner of this 30-man match will go on to fight for the title of his choice at WrestleMania XXVIII. In addition to giving you my predictions for this event, I am also going to give you my predictions as to what we will be seeing in a few months at the "Showcase of the Immortals".
As is always the case, you can let me know what you think will be happening by clicking on the "Leave a Comment" link below. I just ask that you help me keep this site non-spoiler and avoid writing about anything that happened at Tuesday night's SmackDown taping until that show airs on Friday night.

I am saddened to announce that Savannah Russell, better known to wrestling fans as Savannah Jack, passed away last week at the age of 63. His promising career in wrestling was cut short in 1987 when he was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy which is a heart muscle disease. Over the years, he suffered several strokes and heart issues, including a cardiac arrest in 2003 which resulted in him being clinically dead for several minutes.
His greatest success as a wrestler came in the Universal Wrestling Federation. In 1986, he won the UWF Television Championship from Buddy Roberts, who was a member of the Fabulous Freebirds. He lost the title a few months later to the late Eddie Gilbert.
I would like to take this moment to express my condolences to his family, friends, and fans.
