PAY-PER-VIEW NEWS: Turning Point, TLC, 'Mania, Survivor Series & more! - Here are the results from TNA's Turning Point pay-per-view, held live Sunday from the iMPACT! Zone in Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida: The Amazing Red defeated Homicide to retain the X Division title; TNA Knockouts Tag Team champions "Sarita" Sarah Stock & Taylor Wilde & TNA Knockouts champion ODB defeated The Beautifullest People of Madison Raine, Velvet Sky & Lacey Von Erich, to retain all Knockouts titles; The British Invasion defeated Beer Money Incorporated to retain the TNA World Tag Team titles; Tara Varon defeated Awesome Kong in a 6 Sides of Steel match; Team 3D & Rhino defeated "Blueprint" Matt Morgan, Hernandez "the Pope" D'Angelo Dinero; Scott Steiner defeated Bobby Lashley; Kurt Angle defeated Desmond Wolfe; "Phenomenal" AJ Styles defeated Samoa Joe & Chris Daniels to retain the TNA Heavyweight title.
- TNA Announcer Taz had the following to say on the event: "Everybody was raving about the PPV last {Sunday} night & even some WWE people, 1 of whom told me they couldn't understand how the company let TNA sign away Desmond Wolfe." Tazz even wrote on his Twitter that Turning Point was in the Top 3 of PPV's that he has ever witnessed live (just think about that for a second, considering he's taken part in ECW & WWF pay-per-views as a wrestler, as well as doing commentary for WWE & TNA events!) & Dixie Carter was calling Angle-Wolfe & Styles-Daniels-Joe matches of the year. Although, there's some sad news, as the TNA President also commented "Kurt threw his back out early in the match last {Sunday} night & gutted out the next 15-plus minutes."
- The poster for the new WWE pay-per-view TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs has been released, featuring a flying CM Punk, with ladders in the background & the new PPV logo on the bottom. TLC replaces the December Armageddon pay-per-view, which was canned after 9 years & each main event will be contested in a TLC match. The show takes place on December 13th @ the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. You can see the poster here
- Viva Las Vegas! The post-WrestleMania 26 Smackdown will be held @ the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the tapings on Tuesday, March 30th.

- But before Smackdown, there's some further good news for 'Mania fans: WWE Hall of Famer Jerry 'The King' Lawler noted in an interview with The Sun Newspaper, that he expects fellow HoFer Jim Ross to be fit for a WrestleMania return ~ "There's a strong possibility that WrestleMania could be when he makes a return." This was JR's 3rd attack of Bell's Palsy & has sidelined him for several months, due to the nerve regeneration process, which can take a few months to grow back. Lawler closed his thoughts by saying "He's the voice of the WWE & WrestleMania wouldn't be the same without hearing him." Hear hear!
- A Toronto wrestling fan was having my lunch @ the Hard Rock Cafe in the Rogers Centre (formerly Skydome) & the massive screen changed to something quite interesting.

- Former Smackdown Heavyweight champion The Great Khali has been suspended by the Punjabi Police for an "unauthorized leave." Khali had been on an official absence, which expired this past December.

- Sources say that Michael Cole has some major heat on him right now from within WWE. The feeling's that he isn't taking his job seriously anymore & officials aren't happy with some of his "stupid" comments made on TV lately. They also feel that he's no longer putting the company 1st. There may be another shuffling of announcers soon, as WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler being attacked on RAW Monday night & Matt Striker filling in for him, was done so WWE could test the waters, to see how the different announcers work together. Owner Vince McMahon's said to be very high on Striker @ the moment. Word's that several people, who'd been trying out for the new WWE announcer spot, were contacted this past week & thanked for applying, but were told that somebody else had been hired. There are also rumours that Sean Mooney's been re-hired by WWE, although none have been unable to confirm that just yet.

from the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England; now in WWE~HD
Celebrity Guest Host Ricky "HitMan" Hatton saunters to the ring, accompanied by the Bella Twins, where the boxing champ welcomes the Sheffield crowd to the RAW Universe, then states that when he was asked to be the host of tonight's RAW, he snapped off his invitation in a split second, since he has a lot of wonderful memories in this very arena, where he won a World title, 1 of the proudest days of his career; he's always considered himself a man of the people, so what better way to express that, than to have WWE Unified Tag Team champions Chris Jericho & the Big Show swagger down to the ring, where the latter proclaims that his English breakfast he had this morning was bigger than Hatton, so here he is to find out what the big deal's about Ricky knocking a few people out, the former WCW Giant's knocked out a lot of people in his day. . . so why doesn't the HitMan do the RAW Universe a favour & head out of their ring, before TBS' forced to make some memories for Hatton that he won't be able to forget; now why did Show have to come out & get all up in Ricky's grill, he's a big WWE fan & a big fan of the former WWF, ECWWE & WCW Heavyweight champion ~ he loved how, @ WrestleMania 25, the Big Show got knocked out by that other boxer fella; well, since Ricky loved that moment so much, the WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion's gonna give Hatton the same opportunity that he gave Floyd Mayweather, he gets 1 shot to knock Big Show out, but after that, he's gonna get his own shot; after getting on his knees, the former WCW Giant almost gets his bell wrung again, before Y2J steps in & prevents him from getting embarrassed by another munchkin boxer, they have enough to worry about with their Smackdown Heavyweight Triple Threat match against the UnderTaker; now, what does the Ayatollah of Rock & Rollah mean by that, queries his girthful superior. . . well, it's just that, what with the ÜberStar of Jerichlean Proportions being the best in the world @ what he does, coupled with the fact that he single-handedly won the Bragging Rights trophy for Team Smackdown, last week on RAW he defeated Heavyweight champion John Cena all by himself & Friday on Smackdown he's give the same treatment to the Dead Man, so since he's on quite the roll & the King of My World can't have his Tag Team partner suffering any humiliating losses @ this crucial juncture, he's on his way to becoming a 6-time Heavyweight champion; now, hang on there a second, Napoleon, the only person who's walking out of Survivor Series as the new Smackdown Heavyweight champion's the Big Show; hey, hey, hey, Ricky "HitMan" Hatton's the Celebrity Guest Host tonight, so he makes the matches, he wants to see the WWE Unified Tag Team champions against D-Generation X for the belts; that's fine by Jericho, he's more convinced that Hatton's just the same as these other dentally-handicapped & hygienically-challenged gelatinous parasitic tapeworm plonkers in this arena tonight, who all follow the whims of the ultimate hypocrite, Queen Elizabeth & her dysfunctional royal family; hey, now, what language's Chris speaking, there wasn't a single word that Hatton understood. . . all these big fancy words, he's in England now so he should speak english; he's speaking the mother language perfectly cromulently, allow Y2J to speak slower so that the punch-drunk HitMan can understand him; the Ayatollah of Rock & Rollah's just some chump with a bad haircut, so he should get out or Ricky's face, as HHH & 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels Break it Down to the ring, where the former declares that it's hard to hear with all these Englishmen screaming. . . but the Game can't really get what the deal is, every week since they started the whole Celebrity Guest Host idea was started, the WWE Unified Tag Team champions have been coming out here, in a vain attempt to throw around their supposedly-considerable weight ~ why, the Big Show himself even tries to intimidate Shaquille O'Neall & look @ how that turned out for him. . . but Chris Jericho's no better, he came out & messed with Bob Barker, only to get himself decked by the old-time game show host ~ to the Cerebral Assassin, it seemed like Hatton was about 10 seconds away from knocking out both guys, in front of all of these Englishmen; the King of Kings thanks the Celebrity Guest Host for the match tonight, then suggests that he & the Showstopper will take care of the Honey Monster & Mister Bean themselves, tonight; actually, pipes up HBK, forget about "tonight", how about right now, as he starts throwing fists into the faces of the WWE Unified Tag Team champions, sending the ÜberStar of Jerichlean Proportions sprawling out onto the arena floor & the former WCW Giant joining his partner outside the ring, where he's claiming that he's only gonna take them on in his own time; y'see, that's why there's only 1 DX & only 1 Ricky "HitMan" Hatton & if you're not down with that, then the Celebrity Guest Host has 2 words for ya!
before the following match, we learn that next week, @ Madison Square Garden, Divas champion Melina Perez will be defending her title against her new #1 Contender, Alicia Fox, who's taking part in this RAW DIVAS MATCH: Alicia Fox pins Kelly Kelly with a 'Ax' Scissor Kick {PSYCHOLOGY: yeah, well, you can colour me surprised, with this 1, huh?}
a video package plays, showing numerous rabid WWE Universers in Phoenix, Arizona, lining up to buy their WrestleMania 26 tickets on Saturday; tickets available @ www.ticketmaster.com
backstage, Celebrity Guest Host Ricky "HitMan" Hatton's walking around with his son Campbell, who eventually meets his obvious favourite, Heavyweight champion John Cena, who congratulates the Celebrity Guest Host's making the WWE Unified Tag Team title match tonight, but the Doctor of Thuganomics can't help but notice that he doesn't have a match tonight, what gives; well, since Hatton's so convinced that the Doctor of Thuganomics'll successfully defend his title @ Survivor Series & since he's not really known as a Tag Team wrestler, he figured that tonight might be a slow night for the champ
a video package plays, showing HHH & 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, in almost-full army fatigues, on a movie set, acting as though they're in a real warzone, until the Showstopper tosses a "harmless prop" hand grenade toward a grip, who apparently gets blown to smithereens, check out Survivor Series on November 22nd, only on pay-per-view; the official Survivor Series theme song's "Get Thru This" by Art of Dying, available now on iTunes ~ check out www.artofdyingmusic.com for more information
Sheamus O'Shaughnessy Celts to the ring, where he declares that he said he was gonna end Jamie Knoble's career last week & that's just what he did, so this week, he's gonna do what the Irish have done so well for the past several centuries, walk through this Englishman tonight & make him look like a fool; Sheamus beats David Deville with a 'Farrelly Fling' Crucifix Powerbomb {PSYCHOLOGY: well, I couldn't've predicted that!}
in the Celebrity Guest Hosts' office, Ricky "HitMan" Hatton ogles the Bella Twins, who are somehow really interested in what he's been doing lately. . . well, as it turns out, he's promoting boxers now, his own clothing line {which both Nikki & Brie are fortunately both modeling quite inappropriately}, as well as a £1,000,000+ fitness facility in his hometown of Hyde; well, the Bellas heard that Ricky was a good darts player, but before we can find out, Santino Marella steps in, for some reason dressed as the HitMan's alter-ego after putting on a few pounds, Ricky Fatton; the Milan Miracle can't wrap his brain around it, it's obvious that British ladies like fat men with bad teeth. . . but in steps Chavo Guerrero Junior, who mocks Santino for sucking up to the Celebrity Guest Host as usual, then Chavito Heat happens to drop the little nugget of wisdom, that he's won the Cinqo Dart Mayo tournament 3 years in a row, so let's see if Guerrero can back it up; well, after Hatton lands a bulls eye to shame Chavo's dart not even hitting inside any of the rings, he declares that he's not here to play darts, he's here to challenge Marella ~ but he's not Santino, he's Ricky Fatton. . . hey, there's an idea, why not have a Boxer-versus-Wrestler match, where the boxer has to win by Knockout & the wrestler has to win by pinfall or submission!
backstage, ECWWE's Josh Mathews bothers United States champion Mike "The Miz" Mizanin, who's still braying about being the only RAW Superstar who won his Bragging Rights match, against former fellow RAW & Smackdown Tag Team co-champion & current Smackdown Intercontinental champion John Morrison & in 2 weeks, the Chick Magnet's gonna pin the Shaman of Sexy once more; his Survivor Series team's among WWE's elite, all winners & led by him & he's awesome; no wait, "All-American American" Jack Swagger thinks that, in actuality, Mizanin's in awe of him; 5 weeks ago, Swagger proclaimed that he was gonna remain undefeated for the remainder of 2009 & that's for sure tonight, when Jack defeats Evan Bourne soundly in their upcoming match; oh, you mean the guy that the Miz beat last week? . . . what, Mike means the week after Evan beat him? . . . so anywho, maybe the U.S. champ should watch this match, he could learn something & maybe, after seeing his performance against Bourne, Swagger'll be made the team captain; during the following match, Mizanin saunters down to the ringside area, to watch the RAW 1st HOUR MAIN EVENT MATCH: Bourne defeats Swagger with an 'Air Bourne' 450° Shooting Star Press {PSYCHOLOGY: hey, look ~ another surprise!}; after the match, the United States champion declares that this is why he's the team captain @ Survivor Series, because he's the Miz & he's awesome!

Montell Vontavius Porter & "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry saunter down to the ring for this week's edition of the VIP Lounge, where the former states that when they're in the ring, it can only mean 1 thing, big things poppin' & little things stoppin', tonight's edition coming from Sheffield; the former Sexual Chocolate proclaims that their 1st guest's not just burst out of his shell recently, but he's also the captain of their Survivor Series team, Kofi Kingston, who Collie Buddz to the ring & gets big-ups from MVP for choosing the World's Strongest Playas for his Survivor Series team, but he just couldn't do it without them; it was real cold how Kofi trashed the NASCAR vehicle of "Legend Killer" Randy Orton a few weeks ago, but not only that, he sent a message to the entire RAW-ster, that nobody can punk his arse out; then there was last Monday, who seemed to single-handedly take out all of Lega¢¥ @ 1 point during his singles match against Orton, until Celebrity Guest Hosts Sharon & Ozzy Osborne made it a 6-Man Tag Team match, in which all 3 in the ring right now came out on top; before the World's Strongest Man defaces Randy in this ring later tonight, Porter wants to be poppin' bottles to propose a toast to their Survivor Series team captain, for also being straight-up ballin' like him & Henry; well, speaking of the Legend Killer, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Junior, guess who saunter on down to the ring, getting all up in the grill of Vontavius' doorman before entering the ring, where the former Heavyweight champion declares that the 3 caucasianally-challenged gentlemen standing in front of him, are all acting like they're sitting on top of the world, when in fact they ain't nothin' but a trio of low-class street thugs. . . take Mark Henry, for starters, who stole a victory last week. . . Montell's nothing more than a common criminal. . . & as for the former Jamaican Superstar, he should be in jail for what he did to Randy's custom-wrapped NASCAR racecar & the only reason that Orton hasn't pressed any charges, is because he wants his Survivor Series team to humiliate Kofi's team in 2 weeks {& no doubt, Randy's dad can beat up Kofi's dad!}; Cody pipes in, mocking the fact that MVP calls this the VIP Lounge, which seem @ least on the surface to be accurate, what with Porter's designer shoes & cute little watch, but his other surroundings leave something to be desired; then DiBiase balks @ the idea of Vontavius' idea of ballin' being a pleather couch & a $50 bottle of champagne, the former United States champion's bank account pales in comparison to the former RAW Tag Team co-champions. . . oh, you mean your daddy's bank account, Montell interjects; well, anywho, back to Randy, who declares that all 3 members of Lega¢¥ were born in this business, they don't belong anywhere else, but the only place that Henry, Kingston & Porter belong's the hood where they came from; well, dem's starin' words, as the former Jamaican Sensation glares daggers @ the Legend Killer, until the following match ensues, where the Legend Killer pins the World's Strongest Man with an 'RKO' Modified Ace Crusher {PSYCHOLOGY: wow, tonight's just loaded with surprise outcomes!}; after the match, Orton makes to assault Kofi, but Kingston gives his all with a stiff smack upside the chops of the former Heavyweight champion

from the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England; now in WWE~HD
WWE Hall of Famer "Mister USA" Tony Atlas introduces Abraham Washington, who welcomes everybody in the ECWWE Universe to the greatest show in primetime, hosted by the most entertaining man in sports entertainment; tonight's show's gone international, he's doing it big now. . . & both Washington & Atlas are really enjoying themselves here across the pond, except for the fact that everybody here talks funny, mainly due to the fact that everybody has jacked-up teeth. which Abraham can't even understand, because this is a nation full of free healthcare ~ everybody over here's definitely losing the battle with gingivitis; he knows, it's a cheap laugh to make fun of British teeth, but he thought it was funny, so that's all that matters to him; tonight's also special, because they have a Heavyweight championship match, between champion Christian & local hero William Regal. . . which's why Abraham's guest tonight's 1 of the young up-&-comers here in ECWWE, Yoshi Tatsu, who saunters out onto the ring entrance ramp stage set in his nice beige suit, where he admits in his not-so-good english that he's kinda nervous; when the 2 get into a "thank you" contest, Atlas caps it off with a 'you're welcome', getting a little bit under Washington's skin; well anywho, now for the real reason that Abraham asked Yoshi to be his guest tonight. . . his unique stature of having faced both men who are in the Heavyweight title match tonight, @ some point in his relatively-new WWE career, who does he think has an edge in that match. . . Regal's very tough, but the Instant Classic's a great champion, so he's gonna come out on top. . . dude, nobody just understood what Tatsu said, you wannabee Jackie Chan; well, if Yoshi's Jackie Chan, then Washington's stupid Chris Tucker, which makes Tatsu laugh to no end in a very fake way, irking Abraham just a little bit more ~ Yoshi might be able to make fun of him, but Washington declares that he's the only person allowed to make fun of Mister USA like that; as the show clues up, Yoshi & Abraham get into a bowing contest, then Washington & Atlas leave in disgust, as Tatsu gets his mad Limey props

backstage, Zack Gowen tells Rosa Mendes that he thinks she did a great job ring-announcing last week, which was all she needed to hear, because she was originally nervous, then she wasn't, because the ECWWE Universe was totally behind her, she did pretty amazing; yeah, but not only that, Zack likes her & everybody can say that she distracted him last week, all they want. . . he just couldn't stop staring @ her last week, so anytime she wants to come down to the ring with him, to be in his corner, she's more than welcome; yeah, maybe. . . but then another ludicrous fantasy image flashes on the screen, showing Gowen & Mendes oh-so-much in love
DID YOU KNOW. . . last Tuesday, ECWWE was once again the #1 show on SyFy! . . . ; betcha William Regal knew that, as he clears the air with General Manager Tiffany in her office, he's sure that she's quite cross that the last King of the Ring went & got himself a #1 Contendership without her consent, but just think of how wonderful it'll be, her as GM & he, a veritable go, as the new Heavyweight champion; well, that's great, she surmises that they just got off on the wrong foot, as she's glad to have him on the ECWWE roster, as the champion or not

from the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England; now in WWE~HD
a grizzly-looking CM Punk Killswitch Engages to the ring, where he marvels @ what the UK Smackdown Universe's become ~ this place used to be ruled by kings & queens, as a matter of fact ½ the planet was controlled by the United Kingdom, but now look @ it, they're now as pathetic as the Americans; they can pretend that they're not as bad off as those in the United States, deluding themselves into believing that they don't hide themselves away in their little pubs, filling their own lungs & those around them with carcinogens from their fancy cigarettes & trendy cigars, or filling their mouths with chewing tobacco {easily the most disgusting habit that the Straight-Edge Superstar's seen in his life, something that'll give users cancer inside of 2 years}. . . they're weak-minded, they have no heart, their spirit's broken & they're all practically decomposing right before his very eyes, with the only thing that they can do's boo or wave a crooked little finger @ him for being so preachy; but those stupid Limeys need somebody like Punk to tell them how to live, they should all aspire to be as great as he is; does he think he's better than all of them, absolutely & it's not all that difficult, his mind's free of pollution & poison, he's perfect in every way; CM's strength comes from within, he doesn't need any sort of crutch to get through the day & he certainly doesn't need any crooked official like Scott Armstrong to fight his battles for him ~ Punk filed a formal complaint with the Board of Directors & tonight he's gonna defeat "R~Truth" Ron Killings, just like he's gonna do @ the Survivor Series & just like he can do to each & every 1 of those slovenly Smackdown Universers in the arena tonight. . . because he's the choice of a new generation & when R~Truth comes out here to ask the Smackdown Universe what's up, CM'll answer, Straight-Edge's up ~ no narcotics, no drugs, no alcohol, no prescription medication & that can save their entire pathetic country & indeed the whole world; Killings dances his way to the ring, where he states that Punk can file a complaint all he wants, that's his prerogative, but R~Truth wants to file a complaint against CM, for impersonating a man; he didn't come out here to put the Straight-Edge Superstar down or to try & make him look bad, he's doing a fine enough job of that by himself. . . but what Ron did come out here to do was to add some flavour & excitement & to shut Punk up; these hard-working people came out here to see some action, not to listen to CM whine, he adequately lives up to his name; truth's that the Straight-Edge Superstar slams others in order to call attention away from his own shortcomings, but tonight, Punk's gonna find that the Truth hurts; the former RAW, ECWWE & Smackdown Heavyweight champion pins the former NWA Heavyweight champion with a Sitout Pinfall & His Hands on The Ropes {PSYCHOLOGY: well, I suppose we now know who hurts more, huh?}
backstage, Mickie James starts heading for the ring, until Layla El interrupts her, acting incredulous that she's still here. . . well, Mickie's incredulous that Layla's still talking; El suggests that James take their advise & leave Smackdown; as tired as the former Alexis Laree's getting from this arrogant badgering from the Diva Search "winner", she invites Layla to go get Smackdown Women's champion Michelle McCool, or just get out of Mickie's way. . . yeah, that's what the Bipolar Bopper thought; SMACKDOWN DIVAS MATCH: Natalya Neidhart makes James Submit with a 'Sharpshooter' Standing Indian Leg Lock {PSYCHOLOGY: after McCool & El saunter down to ringside with Mickie's clothes, which they vandalize!}

Drew McIntyre saunters to the ring, where he reminds us that 2 weeks ago he left Fit Finlay lying in this ring because he wasn't worth it, but this week he's had a change of heart. . . apparently, the Tough Irish **** loves to fight & since McIntyre's here to make a point, let's see just how much Finlay loves to fight; SMACKDOWN 1st HOUR MAIN EVENT MATCH: McIntyre versus Finlay End in a No Contest After Both Men Were Brawling {PSYCHOLOGY: well I guess they both love to fight, huh?}; after the match, Drew grabs Fit's shillelagh & bashes the Tough Irish **** a little more

- During Wednesday night's WWE show in London, England, Unified Tag Team co-champion Chris Jericho was struck in the face by a D-Generation X glow stick. Following the incident, Y2J started provoking the crowd, which resulted in more fans throwing glow sticks @ him. The &@220;berStar of Jerichlean Proportions later left a comment on his Twitter page, saying "Got hit in the face with a glowstick in London tonight. . . what a way for a grown man to make a living. . ." Check here to watch a video of the incident.
- Word's going around, that officials within World Wrestling Entertainment are upset with the current announcers situation & they're apparently looking to hire new 1s. A major rumour's that former WWE announcer Sean Mooney may be coming back to the company, due to him recently being spotted @ WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. Many see this as a complete surprise, on account of the fact that Mooney has more-or-less distanced himself from the professional wrestling industry, since his departure from WWF in 1993. It's also being reported that WWE has held tryouts for new announcers & that Jim Ross' in a "great position" right now, because of this
- According to Dave Meltzer, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's expected to be hosting RAW during the month of January. Johnson will be able to promote his upcoming movie "Tooth Fairy" which opens on January 22nd. It's possible that Dwayne'll appear on the January 11th edition of RAW, which goes head-to-head with a UFC special. Another option's for him to appear on January 4th, in the event that TNA airs a Monday night special against RAW, with the debut of WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan. Wow, quite the "fornicating microscopic female dog" action going on there! . . .
- Today's the 4th Anniversary of the Death of Eddie Guerrero: 1967 - 2005
- The 1 & only WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper will be hosting next week's Monday Night RAW, live from Madison Square Garden, as he returns on WWE television for the 1st time since WrestleMania 25 week. Piper's headlined MSG on several occasions in the past & it was a nice touch to have such an important wrestler, with a lot of history @ the Garden, hosting the show. Also announced for that RAW's a massive main event, with WWE Unified Tag Team champions Chris Jericho & the Big Show taking on D-Generation X, as well as Smackdown Heavyweight champion Undertaker & RAW Heavyweight champion John Cena, in a Triple Threat tag team match. Hey, why don't they do 3-Way matches anymore, where people get eliminated, instead of "the champion doesn't even need to get pinned to lose his title" nonsense being what sells these matches?

Santicola, issued the following statement on behalf of the olympic Hero on November 12th: "Kurt Angle was completely & utterly exonerated of all charges of assault, which was alleged to have occurred in August of 2009. A Preliminary Hearing was held today, before District Magistrate Mary Murray, in which Mister Angle's accuser, Trenesha Biggers, was given a chance to tell her tale of assault. @ the conclusion of her testimony, the Judge summarily dismissed all charges as baseless. Miss Biggers' story didn't make sense, wasn't believable & was shown to be untrue. Her actions, immediately after this alleged incident, were completely inconsistent with some1 who experienced what she's claimed. Mister Angle didn't even have to testify, the story of Miss Biggers herself was enough to have these charges dismissed. During this long ordeal, Mister Angle has maintained that Miss Biggers is a disturbed & confused individual, who falsified a story about him, due to his celebrity status. When this story actually found the light of day, it was shown to be inaccurate. It's unfortunate that the legal system allowed the case to exist for 3 months, when we've known all along that Miss Biggers wasn't a credible person in this instance. Mister Angle wants to move forward with his life & thanks the individuals who believed in him & supported his position of innocence."
- "Cowboy" James Storm seems to have pissed off a lady as some very revealing nude photos of him have been leaked
- TNA Wrestling star & MMA fighter Bobby Lashley says he'd strongly consider walking away from pro wrestling, if he was offered an exclusive deal with Strikeforce. "If it does come to a point where you have to choose, then I'll have to sit back & talk with my family. I want to fight. TNA's @ the understanding, where they know my dedication with fighting. If (Strikeforce CEO Scott) Coker comes back & says you have to quit wrestling, then we'll have to cross that bridge." TNA offered Black! LESNAR!! great money to work a reduced schedule & they know that MMA's his top priority. Lashley professional MMA record's 4-0, most recently defeating Bob Sapp on June 27th. There were reports over the summer that Strikeforce was negotiating with Bobby to fight Fedor Emelianenko @ last weekend's CBS event. Lashley declined the high profile fight, because he didn't think he'd have enough time to train properly, but Strikeforce's interested & can certainly use another rising star with name value in their heavyweight division.
- TNA has dropped Kevin Nash’s search for his 1st-ever female valet, "the Big Sexy World Tour". The winner would've received an all-expenses-paid trip to next month’s Final Resolution pay-per-view in Orlando & accompanied the wrestling legend to the ring for his match that night.
- During the Hulkster’s appearance on Good Day LA, he made a very brief mention of TNA during his final 15 seconds on the program. Glad to hear that he's excited about being in a wrestling ring again! . . .
HAUGHTY HOTTIES NEWS: Dixie Carter, Sojourner Bolt, ODB, Stacey Kiebler & Sarah Del Rey - To read the coolest news on the hottest women in wrestling today, check out Shimmer's official Yahoo! Group -- sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/shimmerwre...
- A number of people from World Wrestling Entertainment watched TNA President Dixie Carter's speech on iMPACT! last week on YouTube, with many laughing @ it. 1 person within WWE made the following statement: "After investing the previous 2 hours of iMPACT! on hyping how Hulk Hogan & TNA are ushering in this new era of euphoria, with this huge game changer move & perhaps making their fan base feel like this is finally the place to be, right here & right now, they kick off this week's show with THAT video. A video that comes across totally out-of-context, even if it's not a 'shoot, brutha', where a sea of sleepy, droopy-faced & indifferent talent sit in bleachers & are lectured to by a woman that has about 2% conviction in the speech she's giving. For the talent, it's a big old 'F you, it's my way or the highway'. For the viewer, it comes across as 'Hey, you know that whole big Hulk Hogan hype we sold you on last week? Yeah, buyer beware ~ it's not as cool or as euphorically kickass as we kind of suggested it was last week.' I don't think it served any purpose, other than to further amp up Dixie's ego. It was like a bad public speaking class."
- Carter essentially said during her speech @ the top of the hour, that anybody who wasn’t on board with her recent changes to the organization, should find work elsewhere. As it turns out, 5 wrestlers had asked for their releases from the company in recent weeks, including Frankie Kazarian {aka Suicide} & Homicide ~ we don’t have the names of the 3 other wrestlers. All 5 were turned down.
- It was reported last week that Sojournor Bolt’s future with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling appeared to be in doubt. According to sources, she was released by the organization this past week, as they opted against renewing her contract. Further confirming her departure from the organization, her photo gallery was removed from the company website’s Knockouts section. However, her profile remains on the roster page. The reason for this, is because the company may opt to continue using Sojo on a pay-per-appearance basis, so there's a good chance we haven’t the last of her in the 6-sided ring. The veteran women’s wrestler had been sparingly used, since Dutch Mantel’s departure from TNA this past summer & the feeling was her days in the company were numbered. Yeah, me neither. . .
- Reigning TNA Knockouts Champion ODB recently inked a multi-year deal with the organization. Her contract renewal with the organization actually came as a surprise to friends, as she'd been discussing jumping to World Wrestling Entertainment, when her previous contract expired in mid-November. She'd been telling people the past 2 months, that she didn’t think management even realized her contract was coming due, because nobody had mentioned it to her. Now, what in the blue hell would WWE've done with ODB?!
- Stacy Keibler recently spoke to Kevin Eck of the Baltimore Sun & was asked whether she'd be the special guest host of WWE RAW, when the show comes to her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland on November 30th. The former WWE Diva said she reached out to WWE about hosting, but never heard back. "I actually had my management contact them & nobody ever got back to us {laughs}. So I guess they're not interested," she said. Keibler recently won a contest to determine Baltimore, Maryland's biggest celebrity ~ beating out baseball great Cal Ripken, Junior & Olympic hero Michael Phelps. Stacey was also asked about whether she's heard anything from TNA Wrestling about working for them. "{TNA} hasn't {contacted me}, but Mick {Foley} & I talk regularly. They haven’t contacted me to do anything, plus I still have my deal with ABC, so I wouldn’t be able to do anything like that."

The complaint asserts that Windy City Pro Wrestling was negligent when it, among other things, "failed to adequately light the catwalk & stairs leading from the wrestling ring."

from the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York; now in WWE~HD
WWE Unified Tag Team champions Chris Jericho & the Big Show saunter to the ring, where the Ayatollah of Rock & Rollah shows off the Bragging Rights Trophy that Team Smackdown won the night before, then the Former WCW Giant declares that despite what happened @ the pay-per-view, he's still a proud member of the RAW-ster; whoa, Y2J states that TBS doesn't have to explain himself to these parasites, let's here it for Smackdown, the clearly-superior show. . . besides, Big Show's loyalty to his partner & his team supercedes his loyalty to RAW & that's something that's gonna stick in the craw of these amoebas in the RAW Universe; so, listen, the Big Show's got something he needs to tell the ÜberStar of Jerichlean Proportions. . . yeah, he knows, it's great that the former WCW Giant ended the party train of D-Generation X, there's no mirth or merriment coming from their camp tonight, they're embarrassed for what TBS did to Team RAW last night, having punched HHH right in the face & as a result, Team Smackdown came out triumphant. . . not that they wouldn't've won anyway, because the King of My World was the team captain, the mastermind behind the whole team's strategy; listen, what TBS did @ Bragging Rights, he did for himself, there's only 1 thing that's more important to him than his team or his show & that's his career, so he struck a deal with Smackdown General Manager Theodore R. Long to secure the win for Friday nights & Chris' looking @ the next opponent for the Smackdown Heavyweight title @ Survivor Series, against the UnderTaker; whoa, there, Sparky, Big Show never cleared this with Jericho. . . TBS agrees, he didn't, because he doesn't have to clear everything through his WWE Unified Tag Team champion partner, but just as both men are starting to get heated with their argument, Celebrity Guest Hosts Kyle Busch & Joey Logano from NASCAR are seen out in the parking lot, burning rubber, before entering the arena to a raucous round of applause, accompanied to the ring by the Bella Twins; Busch declares that this is how you make an entrance, they're both big WWE fans & therefore are honoured by being here, but they're not too thrilled with the actions of the WWE Unified Tag Team champions last night, especially for the apparent spoils that their actions garnered. . . but he's a man's man & he can see where TBS' coming from, so he's ultimately in agreement with what he did; after Kyle shakes the former WCW Giant's hand, Logano decides that he can't do the same, he can't believe what TBS did to Team RAW last night, that's not impressive, that's just weak; y'know, maybe the Big Show should track Joey a little respect. . . yeah, Busch hears him, Joey doesn't know a lot about championships & what they're here for's to win 1, they're here to help host RAW make this show possible, they're in Buffalo man, a city that hasn't made it to the playoffs since Hulkamania. . . & they bring TO in, what's he done, next thing you know, they're gonna be singing O Canada; well, dem's fightin' words, as Logano declares that tonight TBS takes on the Game tonight, the man he sucker-punched last night; say, that's too bad, Big Show, has anybody ever seen such a luminous incandescence grail of greatness that Jericho's holding right now, let's all go back to the Celebrity Guest Hosts' office to discuss how awesome he is. . . well, as a matter of fact, Busch's seen 58 of those & since Joey's not the only man who can make matches tonight, on his way into the arena tonight, while he was burning all that rubber, he decided to put Y2J into a match with RAW's Kofi Johnsto- Kingston, Kofi Kingston, yeah, that guy. . . & it's happening right now, where the former Jamaican Sensation pins the WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion with a 'Trouble in Paradise' Xuanfengjiao Tornado Kick {PSYCHOLOGY: a touch of revenge, for Kingston being the RAW wrestler who got pinned last night, due to the shenanigans of Jericho's partner in crime!}; after the match, "Legend Killer" Randy Orton jumps Kofi, leaving the former Jamaican Sensation sprawled on the arena floor near the base of the ring entrance ramp stage; backstage, ECWWE's Josh Mathews bothers Orton, who states that Kofi had no business interfering in his Iron Man match for the Heavyweight title last night @ Bragging Rights & if he'd just kept out of the match, then Randy'd still be Heavyweight champion right now; the Legend Killer calls dropping Kingston justice & believe Randy when he says, he's only just begun on the former Jamaican Sensation; in step Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Junior, the former stating that they agree with Randy, he was robbed, so they just wanted to show him their support with a gift a token of their gratitude for everything that Orton's ever done for them, namely this NASCAR racing car, emblazoned with his likeness, easily afforded by the son of ",000,000 Man" Ted DiBiase & the Legend Killer can consider this but a small token of their appreciation. . . but that's not it, they also have another surprise, 1 concerning Heavyweight champion John Cena. . . let's just say that it's only a matter of time before the belt comes back to Lega¢¥
WWE Home Video presents "Batista: I Walk Alone", "the Best of Smackdown" & "Summerslam 2009", available now @ all major DVD retailers & @ www.WWEShop.com
in the Celebrity Guest Hosts' office, Kyle Busch & Joey Logano from NASCAR tell Eve Torres about the Texas Motor Speedway, with each man racing against each other, in the RAW & Smackdown cars respectively; wow, in steps "All-American American" Jack Swagger, all agog @ the idea of NASCAR's finest here as the Celebrity Guest Hosts, considering that he's WWE's finest; they all have a lot in common, he's a successful champion who's accustomed to winning. . . well, it's not that Kyle doesn't appreciate where Swagger's going, but what does he want? . . . anywho, Heavyweight champion John Cena doesn't have an opponent for tonight, so Jack was wondering if he could get his shot @ the Heavyweight championship; well, as it just so happens, Busch & Logano were planning on naming the next opponent for the Doctor of Thuganomics tonight; in walks United States champion Mike "The Miz" Mizanin, who disagrees with Jack's assessment of his being the future Heavyweight champion & since the Miz was the only RAW Superstar who actually successfully defended the honour of Monday nights last night, it's a foregone conclusion that he should get the next title shot, so Mike's officially letting Kyle & Joey know that he's gonna be the next man to face the Chain Gang Commander @ Survivor Series, because he's the Miz & he's awesome!
RAW 1st HOUR MAIN EVENT, MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH: Perella (Divas champion Melina Perez & Santino Marella) versus the Lacklustre Former Champs (Chavo Guerrero Junior & Jillian Hall); Melina beats Jillian with a 'Kyranium Krunch' Legdropping Reverse DDT {PSYCHOLOGY: quite the entertaining match!}; after the match, as Hornswaggle, still dressed in the D-Generation X gear, celebrates with Marella & Perez, a guy in a suit hands him a day-glo green envelope, in which's something that makes the Leprechaun rather upset, so he goes & sits on the lap of Uncle Jerry, who explains to us that it's a Cease-&-Desist order to stop wearing that DX stuff in public, or risk legal action
Rhode$ to Ri¢he$ saunter to the ring, where Cody Rhodes proclaims that the champ's not here, though this would be the perfect time for him to come out here to talk about his so-called epic victory, but instead Heavyweight champion John Cena's gonna have to wait his turn, because Rhode$ to Ri¢he$ are here. . . & just because "Legend Killer" Randy Orton can't face the Doctor of Thuganomics for the Heavyweight title, doesn't mean that neither Rhodes nor his tag team partner Ted DiBiase Junior can't, so @ Survivor Series, they're gonna take back the title to Lega¢¥, where it belongs; DiBiase didn't ask tonight's Celebrity Guest Hosts to make this match, because they don't have to, they're making a challenge to the Chain Gang Commander tonight ~ he can either take on Ted, or Cody, or better yet he can take on both of them, if he has the guts; well, dem's fightin' words, as the Heavyweight champion wiggers to the ring & states that he doesn't have to brag about what he did last night, it was exactly what it needed to be, 2 of the greatest Superstars in WWE competing in 1 final showdown; Cena feels that he can speak for his Bragging Rights opponent when he says that, once that 60-minute clock reached 0, both men were spent & it almost felt like they dodged an explosion; people asked Cena why he'd do something like accept an Iron Man match, but in a weird way they did it for each other & the Heavyweight title, not to mention the RAW Universe & because they both knew that the rivalry needed to end & it did; that brings them to RAW, the night after the shootout @ the OK Corral, where the RAW Universe's sitting in anticipation of who's gonna be the next challenger for the Heavyweight title, but they assuredly weren't anxiously awaiting the presence of Rhodes & DiBiase; well, they ain't Randy, which of course John agrees with, neither of them are as schooled as Orton, but it's close enough ~ people tuning in will think that RAW's gone into reruns, what's it been now, 12 years? . . . so right now, the Heavyweight champion's gonna hit Rhode$ to Ri¢he$ up with some truth ~ last night, he defeated the Legend Killer & earned the right to say "no more!" so they can both come out here to make all the empty challenges they want, that they're gonna take the title back to Lega¢¥, but if they want a shot @ the title, they're gonna have to lace up their boots real tight & work for it, because that's how it's gonna be around here. . . but as of right now, Cody & Ted haven't earned it yet, which he confirms when he asks the RAW Universe if the Baby Oil Club have earned anything; so, as much of a NASCAR fan as Cena might be, Cena was backstage talking with Celebrity Guest Hosts Kyle Busch & Joey Logano from NASCAR, who agreed that the 2 should have a match tonight, right about now; TAG TEAM MATCH: Rhode$ to Ri¢he$ (Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Junior) versus the World's Strongest Playas (Montell Vontavius Porter & "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry); MVP defeats DiBiase with a Sitout Pinfall {PSYCHOLOGY: & an assist from Henry's massive clothesline from the ring apron!}; after the match, "Legend Killer" Randy Orton saunters out to the ring, where he states that apparently the Celebrity Guest Hosts are trying to find the next opponent for the Heavyweight champion & it's starting to look like it's not gonna be the former champion himself; Orton understands the terms of his match last night, but he doesn't care, he's a former champion & is entitled to a rematch, he doesn't care if he has to take it all the way to the WWE Board of Directors, he'll get his title back; suddenly, Kofi Kingston appears on the TitanTron, declaring that nobody cares what he has to say & what he thinks, which infuriates the Legend Killer, demanding that the former Jamaican Sensation should come down here to this ring & say that to his face. . . well, it's funny that Randy should use those words, considering that he's standing over Orton's face, as painted onto the NASCAR racing car backstage, which's built very durably, considering that Kofi's punching & kicking it as much as he's doing ~ why, he can even take this rolling equipment cart & ram it full-force into the side of the car, without leaving a scratch {a huge dent in the fiberglass, but no scratch} ironically enough, it's the stuff that's so small that can do so much damage, like this key, which Kingston uses to scratch up the side panel. . . wait, is that a bug on the hood, allow the former Jamaican Sensation to get that, with this handy crowbar; ahh, noodles, it appears that Kofi's gone & ruined Randy's paint job, but allow him to just grab this bucket of red paint & fix it. . . from a height of about 5'
Eve Torres sexies to the ring to do special guest ring announcing for the following match, where Evan Bourne beats United States champion Mike "The Miz" Mizanin via Disqualification, After "All-American American" Jack Swagger Distracts the Miz, in This Non-Title Match {PSYCHOLOGY: awww, c'mon, defend the belt already, guys!}
Celebrity Guest Hosts Kyle Busch & Joey Logano from NASCAR appear on the TitanTron, announcing that they've enjoyed how tough Jamie Knoble's been on RAW, but they're gonna find out tonight just how tough he really is, when he takes on RAW's latest acquisition from ECWWE, Sheamus O'Shaughnessy, who's here to make an impression on the RAW Universe; Sheamus defeats Jamie with a 'Cabra Gaelscoil' Bicycle Kick {PSYCHOLOGY: surprise!}
a video package plays, hyping "the Unauthorized History of DX", a book chronicling the rise of WWE's most juvenile faction in its otherwise-illustrious history; before the following match, HHH informs WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion the Big Show that he was talking to RAW Celebrity Guest Hosts Kyle Busch & Joey Logano from NASCAR a little earlier & they were all unanimous in their decision to make this a Lumberjack Match, featuring the other 4 members of Team RAW from Bragging Rights{"All-American American" Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston, "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry & Cody Rhodes} as well as many other members of the RAW-ster {including Chavo Guerrero Junior, Montell Vontavius Porter, "Masterpiece" Chris Masters, Evan Bourne, Santino Marella & 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels} & on top of that, it's a No Disqualification Match, so those Lumberjacks can do just about whatever they want during the match. . . also, the referee can skedaddle, because they have a special guest ref, namely Heavyweight champion John Cena; RAW 2nd HOUR MAIN EVENT, NO DISQUALIFICATION LUMBERJACK MATCH: the Game pins the Former WCW Giant with a 'Pedigree' Double Underhook Faceplant {PSYCHOLOGY: after everybody else got in their shots as well!}; after the match, Celebrity Guest Hosts Kyle Busch & Joey Logano from NASCAR saunter out onto the ring entrance ramp stage, where they announce finally who's gonna face the Doctor of Thuganomics @ Survivor Series, but they couldn't come up with any 1 Superstar, so they spoke with the 1 guy who can unify them, Hornswaggle, who managed to convince them that it should be a Triple Threat, the Chain Gang Commander defending his title against none other than the Cerebral Assassin & the Showstopper!
10/27/09 originating on SyFy {in the United States} & rebroadcast on Global {in Canada} the following Friday, late-night
WWE Hall of Famer "Mister USA" Tony Atlas introduces Abraham Washington, who suaves out onto the ring entrance ramp stage & thanks the ECWWE Universe for the nonexistent cheers, before welcoming them all to most the critically-acclaimed of all prime time, as hosted by the most entertaining man in sports entertainment; deciding to tune out the haters in the crowd, Washington declares himself to still be a pimp, then decides to do something that he doesn't do very often & stop running his mouth. . . now, stop that cackling,Tony don't wanna be back in the unemployment line, do he? . . . so anywho, here's the General Manager of ECWWE, Tiffany, who sexies out onto the ring entrance ramp stage with her brand-spanking new theme that has nothing to do with Torrie Wilson, where she provides nature's cure for swine flu, since Abraham's too busy catching jungle fever. . . but in all seriousness, Tiffany's in the hot seat right now, because just this past Sunday @ Bragging Rights, with RAW & Smackdown determining who's the better show, ECWWE had no influence, what's up with that? . . . well, as it turns out, she thinks that her little show that could had a tremendous influence on this Sunday's pay-per-view ~ look @ Smackdown Intercontinental champion John Morrison, RAW United States champion Mike "The Miz" Mizanin, Smackdown's CM Punk, RAW's Kofi Kingston. . . all former ECWWE alumni; as far as next year goes, they're gonna have an even bigger impact on Bragging Rights, she guarantees it; well, dem's fightin' words, as Washington proclaims that this ain't no Men's Warehouse, they don't need no suits, they need Superstars. . . & speaking of ECWWE Superstars who got their start here & left, let's talk about that Irish Ronald McDonald wannabe Sheamus O'Shaughnessy, who just made his debut on RAW this week; well, as it turns out, Tiffany works under the understanding that anybody who wants to leave, can do just that, so after Sheamus informed her of his desire to head for Monday nights, she informed him of her desire to not have the door hit his pale-as-death arse on the way out. . . after having 1 last match tonight against "Gold Standard" Shelton Benjamin; well, then, Abraham guesses that he has only 1 thing left to ask, how's the chicken wing healing up, but before the GM can answer, William Regal saunters out onto the ring entrance ramp stage, where he implores her 1 last time to give him what he deserves, a Heavyweight championship rematch; too bad, though, that even though he's asked her repeatedly, her answer's still no, so let Tiffany make herself perfectly clear, he's not going to get a title match tonight & quite possibly won't ever get another shot ever, so she thanks the ECWWE Universe for coming & sexies back to her office; as Washington tries to close his show, Regal goes all large-simian-poopie on the set, throwing a tantrum fit for an otherwise-austere Incredible Hulk; backstage, Savannah Fong bothers the Gold Standard, who didn't exactly take too kindly to O'Shaughnessy calling his WWE tenure mediocre, but it did make him sit down while he was @ home & come to the realization that maybe he's wasting everybody's time here, perhaps he should pack his things up & leave. . . but then, Shelton realized that this schmuck of a rookie had no right to question his heart, he's a coward for attacking Benjamin from behind & then go hightailing it to RAW, as though he's done anything to prove himself to anybody; well, before he heads to Monday nights, the Gold Standard's gonna give the Celt a parting gift, a reason not to underestimate Benjamin; Sheamus beats Shelton with a 'Cabra Gaelscoil' Bicycle Kick {PSYCHOLOGY: well, have a good time on RAW, then! . . .}
backstage, Rosa Mendes tells Gregory Helms that she's so glad to be on ECWWE, it gives her the perfect excuse to go shopping for new clothes every week. . . & she's been going to the gym & she's in the best shape of her life. . . oh & she was @ the mall the other day & bought the cutest little dress. . . & then, of course, there was this girl who recognized her & asked for her autograph ~ oh sorry, what was it that Gregory asked her; well, actually, he just said hi, but here comes "Ripper" Paul Burchill & his sister Katie Lea, the former issuing a challenge to Hurricane Helms, through Gregory, to face the former pirate next week
in the backstage area, Savannah Fong bothers Heavyweight champion Christian, who believes that Yoshi Tatsu's the most deserving person around here of a title shot, because unlike other people named William Regal, Tatsu's actually gone out & earned some wins, which in turn makes Captain Charisma feel good about what's going on here in ECWWE; Tatsu's gonna be a champion in years to come. . . but not tonight, because here tonight in front of his Rochester Peeps, the Instant Classic's set to teach his protege the most important lesson of all, how to del with defeat in the following MAIN EVENT, ECWWE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: the Peeps' Champion defeats the New Japan Pro Wrestler with a 'Kill Switch' Crucifix Faceplant {PSYCHOLOGY: what, only 2 matches ~ oh, boo-urry!}; after the match, Christian makes to help Tatsu up to his feet, when suddenly Vladimir Koslov & Ezekiel Jackson storm the ring & beat down both men @ the behest of William Regal, who picks up the Heavyweight title from the rubble of humanity & puts it in the face of the Instant Classic

General Manager Theodore R. Long holla-holla-hollas to the ring, where he congratulates Team Smackdown for defeating Team RAW @ Bragging Rights, which was quite the profitable night for WWE's A-show, if also a rather disturbing 1, as Dave "The Animal" Batista attacked his long-time friend Rey Mysterio Junior & he knows that the Smackdown Universe's anxiously awaiting some answers from the former Heavyweight champion, so Long's set up a face-to-face meeting with both men for later tonight; that brings Teddy to the Heavyweight title match @ Survivor Series & the man who'll face the champion UnderTaker, WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion the Big Show; WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion Chris Jericho saunters down to the ring, still carrying not only his RAW & Smackdown Tag Team title belts, but also the Bragging Rights Trophy that Team Smackdown won Sunday, which's what Long takes upon Y2J entering the ring, since it's property of Smackdown. . . well, make no mistake about it, that trophy belongs to the Ayatollah of Rock & Rollah, the mastermind behind the win @ the pay-per-view; the ÜberStar of Jerichlean Proportions didn't win that match for these hypocritical sycophants, he did it for himself, once more proving that he's the best in the world @ what he does; for Teddy to give the former WCW Giant the title shot @ Survivor Series without consulting the King of My World's the most underhanded & devious decision that Long's ever made, Jericho's the face of Smackdown, he single-handedly brought triumph to Team Smackdown @ Bragging Rights, so therefore he should be the show's Heavyweight champion; Kane pyros to the ring, where he balks @ the idea of Chris winning their match single-handedly, in case he forgot, the Bald Red Machine was co-captain of Team Smackdown, which means that the trophy & all the glory belong to him just as much; as for the #1 Contendership for the Dead Man's Heavyweight title, it's certainly not going to either of the WWE Unified Tag Team champions, it should go to the BalderTaker; well, maybe he's suffering from selective memory, because as Y2J recalls, he was the 1 who scored the winning pinfall, so he was the true winner @ Bragging Rights & Kane's own win-loss record against the Heavyweight champion hasn't exactly been exemplary, so the Bald Red Machine shouldn't get his hopes up in regards to scoring a title match; the ÜberStar of Jerichlean Proportion's the hero of Smackdown, he's the Judas & he's the Priest of all these germ incubators in the Smackdown Universe, so BalderTaker should just turn around & get-a-steppin'; well, dem's fightin' words, as Kane sets the WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion up for a 'Goozle' 1-Handed Chokeslam, but Teddy stops him, knowing that the former WWF Heavyweight champion's gonna wanna hear this. . . since RAW's having a Triple Threat for their Heavyweight title @ Survivor Series, Long's gonna have the King of My World & the BalderTaker face off tonight, with the winner going on to face 'Taker & TBS in a Triple Threat match of their own
before the following match, Dolph Ziggler saunters to the ring, where he proclaims that, since everybody else from Smackdown did their jobs @ Bragging Rights by coming out on top, it seems like he's got a pretty good shot tonight, going up against the only Smackdown Superstar who didn't win his Bragging Rights Inter-Promotional match; fair enough, but what's all this "we", the way the Shaman of Sexy remembers it, Dolph wasn't even @ the pay-per-view, so he really shouldn't be including himself in this "we", he's a little premature in that regard. . . & John should know, he asked Maria Kanellis about how premature Ziggler usually is; well, dem's jobbin' words, as Ziggler beats Morrison via Countout in This Non-Title Match {PSYCHOLOGY: & no, I'm not gonna be calling Dolph's finisher the "Zig Zag"!}
in the General Manager's office, Theodore R. Long welcomes WWE Owner Vince McMahon, who congratulates the former WCW & WWE referee-turned-manager, postulating that he just might be able to get rid of that darned annoying little probation thingy that Vinnie-Mac's been hanging over his head all this time; in walks CM Punk, who asks if Long's out of his mind, putting WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion the Big Show up against Heavyweight champion the UnderTaker @ Survivor Series & to make matters worse, there's a match tonight pitting WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion Chris Jericho against Kane, the winner of which's added to that title bout, making it a Triple Threat match, when the entire Smackdown Universe knows that it should be the Straight-Edge Superstar's match, if it weren't for the shoddy officiating of Scott Armstrong, Punk'd still be champ himself; wait a minute, the McMahonopolizer has an idea, tonight CM takes on Referee Scott Armstrong, now how's that for a brilliant idea?

Vickie Guerrero Mamacita Heats out onto the ring entrance ramp stage, where she excuses herself in her brass-finished princess dress, then takes great pride in introducing her Prince Charming, Eric Escobar for the following SMACKDOWN 1st HOUR MAIN EVENT MATCH: Matt Hardy pins Escobar with a Neckbreaker {PSYCHOLOGY: out of desperation, as he'd taken quite a lickin' but kept on tickin'!}; after the match, Rey Mysterio Junior Booyakas to the ring, where he states that, since all of the Smackdown Universe just witnessed in that video package from Bragging Rights, where, after their mutual Heavyweight title match loss, Dave "The Animal" Batista beat down the Biggest Little Man & as much as it hurt Rey-Rey physically, the internal pain from a friendship scorned was even worse; ever since Sunday, Mysterio's been replaying what happened over & over in his mind, which just made him angrier & angrier, but then he realized what was really important, Batista being his family; Rey feels he owes the Animal the benefit of the doubt, so regardless of how he may feel right now personally, Mysterio calls Dave down to the ring, so that they can straighten this out mano a mano, like la Familia; Batista Walks For Miles Inside This Pit of Danger to the ring, where he asks if Rey's hurt because Dave hurt him, well maybe he just don't realize just what kind of hurting that the Animal can dish out, who the hell does Mysterio think he is, calling Batista out; well, Dave's gonna be the bigger man & give Rey-Rey this 1 opportunity to walk out of his ring, which the Biggest Little Man declines to do, he wants to straighten things out between the 2, they've been through so much together; it was a Fatal 4-Way match Sunday for the Heavyweight title ~ what, did Dave honestly expect Mysterio not to try? . . . no, Rey's willing to let bygones be bygones, dawg, that's how much their friendship means to him, Dave's like Mysterio's big brother, he looks up to him ~ brothers fight all the time, but what they have here's gonna last far longer than either of their wrestling careers, when they're both done in the squared circle, they're still gonna be family; what's Rey-Rey thinking, he must be forgetting how little effort Dave used to hurt him, what's he gonna do now that the Animal's not on his side, why oh why did he have to go stab Batista in the back @ Bragging Rights & what's Dave gonna do to Mysterio if he doesn't get out of this ring right now; c'mon man, he's not serious. . . well, if Rey thinks Dave's lying, then he's welcome to stay in the ring; if Rey'd known what he did was gonna interfere in their friendship, he'd've never agreed to be a part of that match, but now Batista's giving him this 1 last chance to turn around & walk out of this ring, before something Evolution-style happens to the Biggest Little Man; naw, he ain't leaving. . . the Animal's gonna have to do what he feels the need to do, because Rey's here to work out their differences, look @ what they've both been through, look @ Eddie. . . well Rey, Eddie's dead, Dave's not thinking about what they've been through or anybody else by himself; then Batista leaves the ring relatively un-Rey-smeared, heading backstage in a huff, where he gets bothered by Matt Hardy, who starts off on the wrong foot by pointing out that this may not be any of his business, but he & Jeff had a lot of conflicts, they'd done a lot of things to each other that they regret doing, so the former Mattitude Practitioner suggests that he not do anything with Rey that he's gonna regret later; well, dem's blind-sidin' words, as Batista makes to leave the arena, then Pearl-Harbours Hardy from behind, leaving him in a crumpled heap on the floor
Drew McIntyre saunters to the ring, where he congratulates Team Smackdown on their victory @ Bragging Rights, but let the Scot make 1 thing perfectly clear ~ he never wanted to be on that team in the 1st place, as he intends to make his own impact; so, unfortunately for his opponent tonight, the party's over; after beating the Cac out of Fit Finlay, the referee declares that the match can now not take place & send McIntyre backstage

HEADLINE NEWS: upcoming RAW Celebrity Guest Hosts - Next week's Monday Night RAW from Worcester, Massachusetts, will be hosted by none other than Grammy Award winner Ozzy Osbourne & his wife Sharon. This is not the 1st time that the "Prince of Darkness" has appeared on WWE television & in May of 2007, he performed the song "I Don't Wanna Stop" on Smackdown. Ozzy will be joining Metallica on October 30th @ Madison Square Garden as part of the 25th anniversary of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The crazy duo will be promoting Ozzy's new book, titled "I Am Ozzy." Now that'll be 1 interesting episode for sure!
- British tabloid newspaper The Sun's reporting that former boxing champion Ricky Hatton will be the special guest host for RAW when the show rolls into Sheffield in November. Hatton's a huge WWE fan & Superstars often visit his gym when they're in the country, while some are even present to see his fights whenever he's in Las Vegas. The former 2-time IBF & IBO light welterweight champion from Manchester's certainly a well-known figure worldwide, holding a professional record of 45-2 {with the only 2 losses being against WrestleMania headliner & former RAW guest host himself Floyd Mayweather Junior & Manny Pacquiao} Both fights, which aired on pay-per-view, generated over 1,000,000 buys each.
- In an interview with www.IconvsIcon.com WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper says that he’ll be hosting an upcoming edition of RAW, which seems to be an indication that everything's fine between the he & WWE, but that’s far from the case. Piper says he wasn’t happy with his involvement @ WrestleMania 25 this April & wants to close his career on a better note. "In my mind, I want to put a cap on it, as you say, with 1 more match, an extraordinary performance. Ya know, the clock's tickin’, let’s be honest, so sooner rather then later. So, I think if you saw me in RAW, that it would be leading into that match. I don’t know what it is yet. But yeah, you're correct." Since WrestleMania back in April, the Hot Rod has been outspoken against WWE for booking him in a 3-on-1 handicap match with fellow WWE Hal lof Famers Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat & "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, against Chris Jericho. “I wasn’t wild about WrestleMania 25, to put it mildly. There’s not a chance in hell that that’s the last way you’re gonna see me,” Piper said on the Monday Night Mayhem radio show in August. "There will definitely be a return of Roddy Piper & sooner than later. How many more fights I have in me, I don’t know. You got Vince McMahon, who’s done a great job of promoting, who became a bodybuilder & the last I saw him, I think he’s convinced himself he could fight now," Piper said. "I say this ~ why don’t you just put Roddy Piper & Vince McMahon in the ring."
PAY-PER-VIEW NEWS: 'Mania, Bragging Rights, Edge, 'Taker & Judgment Day - WWE will be holding a WrestleMania party on Friday November 6th @ Westgate's WaterDance Plaza in Glendale, Arizona, to celebrate WrestleMania 26 tickets going on sale to the general public the next morning. WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion Chris Jericho & Kelly Kelly will be in attendance to meet with the fans, who will also have a chance to buy tickets for WrestleMania before the 10AM official opening the next day. The party will start @ 6PM & will go on till 10PM. There'll be food & drinks & a portable box office will sell tickets when the party kicks off. "We're excited to partner with the WWE on this signature event coming to Glendale," said Amy Shapiro, Westgate's director of marketing & events.
- @ this past Sunday's Bragging Rights pay-per-view, Bucky Palermo, a longtime friend of the McMahons, came to the show & poke to Stephanie McMahon. He asked to speak to Vince {who eventually spoke to him} & then Shane. When asked about Shano-Mac, Nipple H told him, "He doesn't work here anymore" ~ as opposed to saying "he's not here & is leaving the company." When asked what happened, she said, "I don't know."
- also, during Sunday night’s Iron Man match, a spot where RAW's John Cena got busted open caused a lot of commotion backstage. The incident happened when "Legend Killer" Randy Orton hit Cena with the corner of a microphone. WWE Owner Vince McMahon ordered the Doctor of Thuganomics to be cleaned up immediately after seeing the blood. WWE’s John Laurinaitis, along with trainers, rushed to ringside to clean him up, as WWE currently has a very strict “no blood” policy, as part of their TV-PG programming initiative. With their first attempt, the Chain Gang Commander wasn’t aware what they intended to do, so he played babyface & mounted offence against Orton. The cut was finally glued shut & cleaned up after the next fall. Cena & Orton were scheduled to work among the crowd & WWE wanted to ensure there was no health issue, with a bloody wrestler among fans. If it were to have happened, the issue would have been taken seriously by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission & likely used as more ammunition against Linda McMahon’s senate campaign. As the blood was unplanned, WWE decided to stop the clock during the bout, as it wasn’t known how long the clean-up operation on Cena would take.
- The dark match that opened the pay-per-view, saw ECWWE Heavyweight champion Christian defeating "Ripper" Paul Burchill

- There's been a lot of concern lately within WWE, that Edge won't return to the ring in time for WrestleMania. His injury's 1 you really can't rush back from, if it's not 100% ready. Well by all means, take your time, Edge buddy!
- Smackdown will feature a 3-way match @ Survivor Series, between Unified Tag Team co-champions Chris Jericho & Big Show, against their Heavyweight champion, The UnderTaker
- www.WWE.com announced that Backlash will be held on April 25th & Extreme Rules will be held on May 23rd. This means that Judgment Day's being replaced with Extreme Rules, instead of being renamed
WWE NEWS: Jamaican Me Confused, HBK, South Park, Cade's Back, Hogan DVD & WIN A DVD!! - WWE Hall-of-Famer Jim Ross updated his blog & you can read the latest posting @ www.jrsbarbq.com
- WWE's no longer billing Kofi Kingston from Jamaica, because they wanted to market him without the stereotypical accent, as the feeling was it was limiting his on-screen character. Instead, they're now billing the RAW Superstar from Ghana, West Africa, where he was actually born. Although it should be noted his family moved to the United States when he was 1 year old & he grew up in Cambridge, Massachussetts. He revealed in an interview last year that his parents weren't enamoured with him being billed from Jamaica & doing the accent either. So. . . where was the whole Jamaican thing coming from, anyway?!
- 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels isn't giving people close to him the impression that he’s on the verge of retiring within the next year. People close to Shawn believe he'll continue wrestling on a regular basis for another 2-3 years. Michaels doesn’t work a full-time schedule as it is, in that he doesn’t appear on all the house show events & it’s possible he’ll lighten his schedule even more as time goes on. However, people who know him well, don't believe he’s on the verge of calling it a career. It’s also widely assumed that HBK will receive a grand sendoff, similar to the 1 that 2008 WWE Hall of Famer "Nature Boy" Ric Flair received, when the time comes for him to hang up the ol' chaps.
- Last Wednesday, on Comedy Central, there was a wrestling-themed South Park episode, which had "appearances" by John Cena, Edge & none other than WWE Owner Vince McMahon. The episode was about the South Park boys attending RAW & then signing up to a wrestling school the next day; however, they find out that what they signed up for isn't the wrestling they saw the day before. Then they decide to launch their own WTF wrestling show, as the wrestling coach tries everything in his power to take them down. The funny thing was that they actually never wrestled, but it's all about promos in the ring, with outrageous stories. The episode contains a lot of language that will probably offend some people, so watch @ your own risk. You can watch the full 21-minute episode @ bit.ly/4oLff
- Former RAW Tag Team co-champion Lance Cade has signed with World Wrestling Entertainment once again & is currently doing some training @ FCW in Tampa. Cade originally appeared on WWE TV for the 1st time in 2003 & spent almost 6 years in the company, before getting fired in October 2008. He was given the pink slip, after he toyed around with substance abuse & suffered a seizure on a plane during a WWE tour, which required quick medical attention. After he was released, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross said in 1 of his blog updates that Cade "made a major league mistake, while utilizing bad judgment" which was the final nail in the coffin for his WWE career. Trained by 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, Cade was enjoying a good singles push, before being released, as they paired him up with Chris Jericho & even had a pin on HBK during a RAW handicap match.
- In an interview conducted by a New Zealand-based website, WWE Hall of Famer Bret "Hit Man" Hart talked about the possibility of hosting Monday Night RAW in the future. "Well, there are rumours, there are always rumours & I'm open for offers," the former WWF & WCW Heavyweight champion said. "But that {seeing Shawn & Hunter} would have to be something that was discussed before hand; we cross that bridge, I guess, if we come to it," he added. The When watching HHH & 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels doing the DX gimmick all over again, the HitMan "just wants to put my finger down my throat; it makes me want to be sick." Hart also talked about the Hart Dynasty & how he watches all their matches, "Legend Killer" Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy & much more. You can read the interview @ www.nzpwi.co.nz
- The announce teams of ECWWE & Smackdown were changed, due to WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross being unable to fill in his position, following the 3rd Bell's palsy attack early last week. Slammy-Award-Winning Matt Striker was somewhat promoted to the Smackdown announce team, along with fellow "winner" Todd Grisham, while Josh Matthews got himself a new broadcast partner, Byron Saxton, real name Bryan Kelly, who's a 28 year old wrestler who's currently signed to Florida Championship Wrestling. He's been doing commentary for FCW, along with WWE Hall of Famer "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, ever since Josh Matthews started his ECWWE gig
- As of last word, WWE was still scheduled to release the Hulk Hogan DVD set this week, but people in the company wouldn't be surprised if WWE Owner Vince McMahon yanks it. Well, that's quite frankly none of my business, I wanna hear about whether or not the DVD's coming out. . .

- In what could be the biggest story of 2009 so far, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has announced that he's joining TNA Wrestling, during a press conference held Tuesday, in conjunction with TNA Wrestling & Spike TV in New York. "Hulk Hogan's 1 of the world's top pop culture icons & the biggest superstar in the history of professional wrestling. We're truly excited to welcome him into the TNA family," said Dixie Carter, President of TNA Wrestling. "Our goal's to become the world's biggest professional wrestling company. Hulk defines professional wrestling & we look forward to partnering with him in a variety of ways, as we continue to grow TNA globally." The deal with TNA was brokered by Bischoff~Hervey Entertainment Television's Eric Bischoff & BHE TV has inked a 1st-look deal with TNA, that will be working with the organization to develop new programming extensions of the TNA brand. "I'm thrilled to be jumping back into the world of professional wrestling," said Hogan. "My fans have been asking me to return to the business for many years on a full-time basis, but the timing or the opportunity has never been right until now. TNA Wrestling's a great company, with an already-excellent fan base, business & broadcast partner. I firmly believe now's the time for some change @ TNA, as they're positioned to jump to the next level in their development & I'm here to work with Dixie to help make that a reality."
- The Hulkster made his iMPACT! debut yesterday on Spike TV @ 9PM & commercials are already hitting the Internet, hyping up the former WWF & WCW Heavyweight champion's arrival to the company. This week's iMPACT! was taped last week. It's still not yet known how frequently Hogan will be appearing on the show. This is the 2nd time that Hogan worked with TNA. Hulk taped an angle with Jeff Jarrett back in 2003, while he was in Japan, but nothing ever came out of that. Hogan was doing a press conference when JJ stormed through the door & smashed his guitar on Hogan's head. He then proceeded to hit the Hulkster with chair shots, busting him up. You can see the 30-second commercial hyping Hogan's TNA debut & the Japan incident @ bit.ly/2s6wEM
- Booker TNA has wrapped up his commitments with TNA Wrestling, according to www.PWInsider.com & won't be making any appearances for the company anymore. The Last King of BookahLand wrestled @ Bound For Glory, tagging with Scott Steiner, losing the TNA Tag Team belts & was stretchered out as part of the angle. Rumours of Booker making an exit popped up earlier this month, after the former 5-time WCW Heavyweight champ refused to job against "Blueprint" Matt Morgan during the iMPACT! TV tapings. On the recent overseas tour, Booker told his co-workers that he'll be heading back to WWE once his contract expires. Reports are that Booker will be taking some time off from wrestling for the moment, before making his next move.
- In a strange twist, former ROH champion Nigel McGuiness made his debut with TNA Wrestling during last week's iMPACT! tapings. Early last month, it was reported that Nigel, along with fellow ROHer Bryan Danielson, have signed with World Wrestling Entertainment, but it seems that the London-born 31-year-old only agreed to the contract, but never signed on the dotted line. Nigel instead opted to join TNA & was immediately thrown into an angle with former TNA champ Kurt Angle on his debut. Sounds like more than a fair tradeoff to me!
- In other McGuiness news, Hit the Ropes had the opportunity to interview Les Thatcher on their most recent show. Thatcher trained men such as Matt Stryker, Shark Boy, Charlie Haas, Elix Skipper & of course Nigel, who called in to the show & talked on his time with Les.
- Taz posted a message on his Facebook page, in response to a reader’s comment that TNA should bring in Paul Heyman & put him in charge of the creative team: “How do you know if Paul would want to even be back in the wrestling biz? How do you know if Paul was happy doing with he’s doing? How do you know if Vince Russo & Paul aren’t friends & talk 'shop' @ times? How do you know if TNA wants Paul?? How do you know if Paul wants TNA? How do you know if Paul wasn’t offered to work for TNA already? You don’t, sir.” Well, I guess he's been told!

- There was an altercation between Luna Vachon & Eric Simms {best known as the Iron Sheik's handler} @ the Legends of the Ring convention on Saturday in New Jersey. Luna was yelling @ Simms from a distance, then made a lunge, but security blocked her attack. An eye-witness said: "[Luna] calmed down & eventually everything went back to normal, but it was still something to see." Apparently Luna was upset that Simms wasn't spending enough time with her as her agent @ the convention.
- There's a technical glitch in the new Smackdown versus RAW video game, that can leave your Diva pantsless. People have been posting bottomless videos on Youtube, but game developers from THQ are hauling them down, as soon as they spring up. We're told the error pops up during the create-a-wrestler mode.
- Smackdown Women's Champion Mickie James has signed with Nashville-based management agents James & Sherry Massaro of Skyline Management Group, reports www.PWInsider.com & she's also signed with Absolute Publicity to manage her PR. Mickie has several educational degrees, which she obtained while on the road with WWE. Expect an announcement soon on her departure from World Wrestling Entertainment.
- Rihanna has been accused of copying the cover of a wrestling album. Paul Heyman, who used to run Extreme Championship Wrestling, wrote on his website that the cover of Rihanna's 'Russian Roulette' single is similar to the 1998 compilation album "ECW: Extreme Music" Rihanna's wrapped in barbed wire for the 'Russian Roulette' image, as is the Sandman on the cover of the ECW album. "It's pretty obvious this was copied from, or @ least extremely inspired by, the ECW album cover," Heyman told The Sun. "From the barbed wire & the right arm up in the air, to the blood dripping off the logo. Hey, I don't blame them. If you're going to copy some1, copy from the best. By the way, Rihanna. . . you're welcome!"
