Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance have parted ways. As a result, TNA will no longer be using the NWA World Heavyweight title or the NWA World Tag Team titles. The company has created new belts for the TNA World Heavyweight title, TNA World Tag Team titles and the TNA X-Division title. Bill Banks, a writer for the official website of TNA Wrestling, has posted an article stating that the new championship belts will be unveiled later this week at TNAWrestling.com during their “TNA Live” online video show.

“The Miz” now has a column up over at WWE.com. In this edition, he speaks about a recent appearance for charity.

As I arrived, I walked the green carpet and let everyone know that I was walking away with the Golden Paddle. Then they told me that it was a doubles tournament, which I insisted didn’t matter. About 20 minutes before the tournament was about to start, they found me a partner in Randy Spelling (son of Aaron Spelling, creator of 90210 and Melrose Place). I’ve known Randy for a while, so I went up and talked to him. He told me he wasn’t that good at ping-pong and I thought, âDamn, I’m going to lose this thing.â
