Written by Stevie J

If you missed Wednesday's news it's HERE. It's another jam packed Thursday on AngryMarks.com! Don't miss a new episode of Tha O Show w/ Shannon Moore, our WWE Superstars on WGN Recap, a simultaneous Bellator on FSN Recap, a new Thursday Night AMP at 10 PM ET in the AngryMarks chatroom, Mike Poulin's TNA Impact Recap at 11:30 ET and a new Milk of Minutia w/ Becky Thyre later tonight! With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Thursday's latest news starting with the synopsis of Steve Austin's next movie. (PWI)

Steve Austin stars as U.S. Border Patrol agent Jim Rhodes, a tough divorcee mourning the loss of his murdered partner while struggling to raise his rebellious daughter in the mountains of Montana. But when a crew of trigger-happy fugitives takes Rhodes and his daughter hostage, a rugged wilderness will explode in all-terrain vengeance. Is there any wounded animal more dangerous than a lawman left for dead?

Directed by Keoni Waxman (The Keeper), Hunt to Kill features a stellar cast including Gil Bellows (The Shawshank Redemption), Emilie Ullerup ("Sanctuary"), and Academy Award® nominee Eric Roberts (The Expendables, The Dark Knight).

The Hunt to Kill Blu-ray™ and DVD bonus features include an Audio Commentary with director Keoni Waxman and actor Michael Eklund (Smokin' Aces 2: Assassin's Ball), as well as a "Behind-the-Scenes of Hunt to Kill" Featurette.

The amazing stunts featured in Hunt to Kill were coordinated by Lauro Chartrand, the man behind the stunts of 2012, War, Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, The Incredible Hulk and I, Robot.

WWE has made a big change to their Wellness Policy this week by banning Carisprodol pills - better known among users as somas. Some long-time fans will remember that Louie Spicolli overdosed in 1998 on a cocktail of somas and wine. WWE wrestlers will no longer be able to use somas, even if they have a doctor's prescription first. (WO)

Matt Hardy took exception to Paul London's comments yesterday and decided to fire back on Twitter.

You know the deal, you know me. When someone becomes obsessed with jealously it's sad.

I kinda feel sorry for the guy, he's a mess.

He's not important or significant enough to me to even dignify his absurd, delusional comments.

He also promised more YouTube videos, as if we really need any more of those at this point.

In an update to our TNA losing UK TV story yesterday, PWI has this report from Dean Kirk: "BT (British Telecom) Vision carry TNA Impact and PPVs on their 'sports' package which incurs an additional fee of £6.99 ($10 approx) per month. The previous week's Impact is uploaded every Saturday and PPVs are on a one week delay."

Apparently depending on who you ask this week's NXT did a completely different rating. One report says the show did a 1.01 rating with 1.203 million viewers. (PWI) Another says the show got a "basic 0.90 rating" but the same number of viewers - doing a 0.64 rating among the 18-49 demographic and a 0.77 rating for the male 12-17 demographic. That's up somewhat from last week but still down from last season's finale with Kaval winning. (PWT)

You can see a video of Serena Deeb returning to SHIMMER HERE.

Apparently Lindsay Hayward b/k/a Aloisia has been released from WWE for REAL this time. She announced it on her website, and Dave Meltzer confirmed it. (WO)

In ROH news, the next TV tapings take place on October 1st & 2nd in Philadelphia. ROH is clearing new markets on HDNet via Comcast, which include Detroit and Philly and they're very happy about this development. Also Davey Richards will be working for New Japan Pro Wrestling as a regular, giving him largely a full-time schedule between Dragon Gate and ROH. As for ROH Final Battle on December 18th, there are currently no plans to move the event to the Hammerstein Ballroom. Some people felt since they have been turning away people from the Grand Ballroom that they should move back to the Hammerstein, but ROH feels running the Hammerstein regularly is not a viable investment. Speaking of Final Battle there are plans to once again bring in outside talent for the next I-PPV. Terry Funk reportedly went out of his way backstage to work with the wrestlers and do anything else that was asked of him at Glory By Honor IX. Speaking of GBH9 ROH would love for Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin to return but there is no word or confirmation on them coming back to work for the company at this time, although there is some about bringing Gabe Sapolsky back as a booker - even though Hunter 'Delirious' Johnson has been doing a good job and getting good reports from the lockerroom. Finally in ROH news the wrestlers chasing Roderick Strong for the title going forward will be Christopher Daniels, Davey Richards and Homicide. (PWI)

The latest poster for Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's new movie Faster can be seen HERE.

Jim Ross updated his blog with some thoughts on WWE banning somas.

I think that it's a great idea. Too many wrestlers took/take Somas recreationally much like wrestlers used to smoke weed in the 70's. Prescription pill abuse is a huge enemy of all wrestlers who abuse them. Pain medicine, Somas, ambien, and xanax are an evil mixture especially when mixed with alcohol and taken in excess.

In miscellaneous wrestling links, TVKids has an article up on the proposed Hulk Hogan courtroom show HERE, Bloomberg has a note up on how Linda McMahon's campaign spending has allowed her to close the gap on Democrat Richard Blumenthal HERE, The Meridian Booster has an article up on Ted DiBiase Sr., discussing an upcoming appearance at a prayer breakfast HERE, and the latest Straight Shootin NXT chat with Joey Styles is archived HERE including a surprise appearance by Beth Phoenix.
