The Best Damn Wrestling Rumor Mill 2/8/10

Here is the Hit The Ropes wrestling rumor mill courtesy of Shane Howard. By the way, there is no legitimacy to these news items.
WWE
* There were rumblings about possibly having Goldberg be a surprise entrant in the 2010 Royal Rumble but officials thought that the sight of Goldberg in a WWE would spook Bret Hart.
* After months of having Matt Striker call fellow Matt, Hardy, the "heart and soul of SmackDown", expect to hear Michael Cole start referring to Jack Swagger Raw's heart and soul. Neither wrestler is particularly doing anything of significance and this way they will feel somewhat important.
* The Honky Tonk Man turned down being inducted into the WWE's Hall of Fame citing the restrictions working with the WWE would place on him. However, there have been murmurings that he feels that if he is accepting his award at the HoF ceremony, Ultimate Warrior might make a run-in and pin him in 32 seconds again.
* Hornswoggle hasn't been featured much on TV lately as he's been recovering from a little bit of surgery.
* After word came out that the WWE was changing ECW to NXT, a Scottish wrestling company was found to already use the NXT name. Vince McMahon was quoted as saying, "If Michelle McCool can blatantly steal AJ Styles' attire and move, I see nothing wrong with me stealing another promotion's name."
* Hurricane Helms has been rumored to be a participant on an upcoming episode of HBO's Taxi Cab Confessions.
TNA
* After re-creating the Montreal Screwjob, TNA officials have been going through old WWE tapes to find other angles to redo. Word on the street is next month we will get Abyss and Mr. Anderson in a Katie Vick-esque storyline.
* The entrance ramp to the ring was supposedly put in place for when Hulk Hogan decides to raid the local retirement homes and wheel past legends to the ring so they can beat the homegrown TNA talents.
* After nude photos hit the Internet featuring TNA star Frankie Kazarian, the wrestler has been telling everyone he's innocent. The photos are of Suicide, not him.
