PWInsider reports that a new documentary on Extreme Championship Wrestling is going into the final stages of production. This DVD is unique because interviews were conducted as far back as 2001 when ECW originally shut down. Some of the interviews show the talents talking when they were upset about ECW going bankrupt. One theme in the DVD will be catching up with those talents over time. More details will be released soon but the documentary features over 50 hours of footage and over 50 interviews with former ECW wrestlers, personalities, fans and writers.LOP
Rey Mysterio was reportedly backstage at last night's WWE RAW Supershow from Laredo, Texas but obviously was not used.

There was a lot of speculation on Sin Cara after he was squashed by Alberto Del Rio on last night's RAW Supershow. The feeling is they just brought him back to TV with a new look and gave him a few wins, only to have Del Rio take him out in a quick segment.
As of this writing, WWE has not posted a storyline injury update on Cara, which they usually do after an injury angle on RAW or SmackDown.LOP
Wade Barrett is ready to return to action and WWE officials are working on how they want to bring him back. Barrett was inline for a major push before he went down with injury several months ago and sources report that he will get that push when he returns.ÂNo word yet if Barrett will be at Money in the Bank but the talk a few months back was that he may win the match and then challenge for the World Heavyweight Title.
While away with injury, Barrett filmed a role in WWE Studios' Dead Man Down with Colin Farrell. The movie comes out in time for WrestleMania 29 next year.LOP
