Eve, Natalya, Gail Kim & Tamina def. The Bellas, Melina & Alicia Fox (WATCH | PHOTOS) It was a good night to be a fan of the Divas as eight of Raws sexiest women squared off in an epic tag match. Leading a contingent of Monday nights most vicious females, Nikki & Brie Bella continued to display a mean streak that has shocked the WWE Universe. With help from Melina, the sisters focused their attack on Natalya, brutalizing the former Divas Champion to the point that she was ready to quit. But the Hart Dungeon-trained Diva persevered and made the tag to Eve who scored with a big moonsault to give her team the win.
Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov def. The Usos (WATCH | PHOTOS) Ever since their former ally, Tamina, jumped ship to side with Santino Marella, The Usos have had it out for the Italian Superstar and his tag team partner, Vladimir Kozlov. But as much as theyd like to take out the former WWE Tag Team Champions, Jimmy & Jey have failed to stop their rivals. The tag specialists continued to struggle tonight as they lost to Santino & Kozlov yet again. Displaying the same fighting spirit that earned him the nickname The Italian Stallion, Marella battled the twins almost singlehandedly before scoring the victory with his dreaded Cobra strike.
Tyler Reks def. JTG (WATCH | PHOTOS) Tyler Reks had a lot to prove tonight. Once the most feared competitor on WWE Superstars, The Dreadlocked Demolition Man recently suffered three crushing losses to the powerful Chris Masters. With his reputation as an indestructible force beginning to fade, Reks had to show the locker-room that hes still as destructive as ever. And he did just that at the expense of JTG. Although agile and talented, the Brooklyn Superstar was outgunned tonight against his bigger, more powerful opponent. The tormented Superstar smashed JTG before putting him away with a brutal Burning Hammer. adsensePay-Per-View Schedules
TNA Impact Taping Results (3/17) *Spoilers* Written by Tim Capture on Mar 14, 2011 - 8:37:10 PM
Dark Match:
* Douglas Williams vs. Jake Tarr. Tarr is a Team Taz graduate. Winner via Chaos Theory, Douglas Williams
TNA Impact (Airing Thursday on Spike TV):
* Impact starts with Sting in the ring with both the new and old TNA Championship belts. Sting also has a new red shirt. He says he has something to get off his chest before Hulk Hogan's show starts. He wants Hogan and Eric Bischoff to get out here and face him. Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff come to the ring. Sting gives the Hardy belt to Hogan and says this is theirs. Hogan tosses it out of the ring. Sting asks Hogan how he could do what he did to Jeff Hardy? Take a guy who was the brightest of the bright stars and turn him into the blackest of black. Hardy is a man who makes his own decision but it was the influence of Hogan and Bischoff that led him down that path. The path of needing more money and power. He can't do anything for Hardy now but he can help the others in TNA trying to make a name for themselves. Hogan says Sting is Mr. Johnny Come Lately. Blame him and EB for the embarrassment Hardy caused Immortal? Hardy was the one who is at fault here. Hardy couldn't stand in the shadow of the immortal Hulk Hogan. Everybody else in Immortal is doing great, brother. Sting needs to look out for himself. Hogan has main eventers all around the world wanting to jump on his back and join in with the tsunami taking over wrestling. Sting says if the phone is ringing off the hook, where are the people? All he ever sees is Hogan and Bischoff with some jokes behind them.
* Bully Ray's music hits and comes to the ring. He says he's been ringing Hogan's phone off the hook. He's been waiting for this his whole life. Hogan is the one who made this business what it is today. He says Sting is a co-star, a sidekick. Ray says Sting is selfish. This isn't about the boys in the back, this is about Sting trying to measure up to Hogan. Ray says it would be his honor to take out Sting for Immortal. He wants to prove himself and face Sting. Hogan says don't even worry about that. He gets cut off by Fortune's music. Fortune is in the ring. AJ Styles says there are four men in the ring that go by the name Fortune and they have Sting's back 100%. He asks Ray what he wanted since getting in the business? That's right, be a singles wrestler. Instead he had a partner that carried the load for 15 years. Without Devon there would be no tag titles, no success. Ray says he'd like to slap the smile off AJ's face. If it wasn't for Dixie Carter wiping his a-- he wouldn't be anywhere. Ray is a 23 time world tag champion so shut-up and let's get back to him. AJ slaps Ray in the face.
* Mr. Anderson's music hits and gets in the ring. Anderson immediately asks for his rematch. He gets in Hogan's face and wants to know where it is. Hogan says he really is an a--hole. Anderson says yes, he is an a--hole. Hogan says he had a top contenders shot and couldn't get the job done. Anderson says Rob Van Dam couldn't get it done either. Bischoff says how about a four-way for the #1 contenders match? Mr. Anderson vs. RVD vs. Bully Ray vs. AJ Styles. Anderson says they can't do that. Bischoff says he can and he did.
* Brooke Hogan is here. Hogan's wife is here too.
* Ink Inc. vs. Scott Steiner & Crimson. Winner via Red Alert from Crimson to Shannon Moore, Scott Steiner & Crimson. Moore threw Steiner's headgear at him after the match and Neal had to stop a brawl from erupting.
* Note from Richard: Up next was a segment TNA taped with D'Angelo Dinero "performing miracles."
* For the TNA Knockouts Championship, Alissa Flash vs. Madison Rayne w/Tara. Winner via Rayne Drop in under a minute, Madison Rayne. Mickie James runs out right away but Madison and Tara bail. James is sick of Rayne's ridiculous title bouts. If she's a fighting champ then come here and fight me. Madison asks James what she thinks gives her the right to demand title shot after title shot after title shot. She's out of chances and it's not worth her while. James asks what would make it worth her while? Madison wants Mickie's locks. After beating Mickie she wants to embarrass her and shave her head. Mickie agrees.
* Jeff and Karen Jarrett are now out. Jeff says the alpha male has something to say. Kurt Angle does not have one shred of honor or dignity left in him. As a good man he can no longer do this to Kurt. He offers up a truce to Kurt Angle. He will rise up and be the better man and put an end to the misery. They have to co-exist for the kids. Kurt, please come out and beg for forgiveness. Kurt comes out holding a big present. He walks with a smile and hands the box to Karen. Kurt says Jeff is right. He's a husband and father and they need to co-exist. Kurt brought a gift as a peace offering. Jeff asks Kurt if he's being sincere. Kurt says look at him, does he look insincere? Jeff opens the gift and it's a guitar with the American flag on it. USA chant starts. Jeff, Kurt and Karen raise their hands together to pose but Kurt grabs the guitar and smashes it on Jeff and busts him open hardway. Karen goes for a low blow but Kurt isn't affected. He goes in his pants and pulls out a cup. Jeff is bleeding profusely from the head in multiple places. Karen cowers in the corner and he tells her to "stay down." He says he's sick of this and will end her. He wants Jeff in a cage at Lockdown. Jeff shakes his head no. Kurt says if he doesn't get what he wants he will hunt them down and kill them. Angle leaves while Jeff bleeds.
* For the TNA World Television Championship, Gunner vs. Murphy vs. Rob Terry. Winner & new Television Champion via TKO to Murphy, Gunner. Eric Bischoff was on the ramp afterwards and gave Gunner some applause and a thumbs up.
* Hernandez & Sarita & Rosita vs. Matt Morgan & Angelina Love & Winter. Angelina had a new entrance video and music. It's a street fight but not announced as one. Winner via catatonic back breaker from Winter to Rosita, Morgan, Angelina and Winter. Really quick match. An unidentified Hispanic guy came out and helped Hernandez after the match. Morgan ran them off and then celebrated in the ring.
* For the #1 contendership to the TNA Championship, AJ Styles vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Bully Ray vs. Mr. Anderson. No winner. A chair was in the ring and Anderson gave RVD a back suplex. Earl Hebner counted three but both of their shoulders were down because they were knocked out. Ray and AJ fought all over after the match. They went to the announcers table and ended up on the stage. AJ went to Ray with a chair but Ric Flair hit AJ with a low blow. Ray grabbed AJ and gave him a sit out powerbomb off the stage through a table. Agents and referees rushed out to check on them. Both are out of it and woozy. Paramedics are out with a stretcher and are taking AJ to the hospital. Fortune is out checking on AJ. Ray got up and pushed some security guys around and left. Ray came back out and tried to get back at AJ. Agents held him back. He went to the other side of the stage and fell. It looks like Bully Ray hurt himself and might have pulled a quad or blown his knee out. Ray is still on the ground. He might just be waiting for the stretcher to go out so he can attack. AJ just finally got taken out. Ray got helped to the back. Ray might've been hurt or went to the back to attack AJ's stretcher.
RAW Breakdown: Sheamus & Bryan, JR's Return, More Posted by Steve Carrier on 03/17/2011 at 01:16 PM
- As noted before, the March 14th episode of WWE RAW did a 3.66 rating with 5.68 million viewers. This week's show was seen by 69% male viewers and in the Males 18-49 demographic, it was up from last week's show with Steve Austin, with a 3.49 rating.
In the segment breakdown, The Rock's segment with the fake John Cena opened the show with a 3.80 rating. The interview with The Miz and his match with The Great Khali lost 386,000 viewers, another decline for The Miz since being pushed as WWE Champion.
The Triple H video and backstage segment with Snooki, John Morrison, Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler lost 297,000 more viewers. Sheamus winning the United States Title from Daniel Bryan gained 226,000 viewers. On the previous show with Steve Austin, Sheamus and Daniel Bryan lost big time following Austin's return segment. The gain for this week's title match shows that probably any mid-card talent would have lost big following Austin's return.
The segment with Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, Brian Christopher, Jim Ross and Jack Swagger gained 928,000 viewers and was RAW's peak rating this week with a 4.11 rating. Randy Orton vs. Mason Ryan lost 621,000 viewers which isn't good. The Drew Carey Hall of Fame announcement, promo from Michael Cole and segment with Snooki lost 301,000 viewers. The Trish Stratus vs. Vickie Guerrero match and post-match with Snooki, Layla, Michelle McCool, John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler gained 406,000 viewers to a 3.77 rating which is an above average increase for that period in the show.
The 15 minute overrun with the main event of Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena and the attack from The Miz lost 270,000 viewers, falling to a 3.59 rating. Considering that Cena is a solid ratings draw, this can be seen as a negative sign for The Miz and/or Del Rio. The last 5 minutes of that 15 minute overrun did come back and gain 290,000 viewers. This could be attributed to people tuning into the USA Network for their next show because RAW usually isn't on at 11:15pm.
We reported earlier this week that Eric Bischoff recently received a promotion in TNA and is now the executive producer of TNA programming. Aside from overseeing the production of TNA programming, Bischoff also serves as the point-man between TNA Wrestling and Spike TV.
In another sign that the Bischoff-Hogan regime is on solid ground in TNA, Hulk Hogan is now claiming that he took control of TNAs creative process three weeks ago.
Hogan had an online exchange this week with former WWE superstar Kizarny, who was asking Hogan why he never got a job opportunity in TNA. Hogan responded:
"@SiNNbODHi just took over creative 3weeks ago,shoot. Now I understand why nobody is using you HH"

Jeff Hardy Court Update: Results Of Latest Hearing Posted by Dave Mitchell on 03/16/2011 at 12:15 PM
TNA star Jeff Hardy was scheduled to appear in a Moore County, North Carolina court on Wednesday morning, but once again, the case was continued to a later date.
This time, the reason for the continuance was that the district attorney's office is still waiting for evidence to come back from the state bureau of investigation.
Hardy is facing multiple drug charges, including felony trafficking, stemming from his September 2009 arrest.

Former Knockout files workers comp claim Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 03/15/2011 at 08:10 PM
Daffney issued a statement today on her Twitter account concerning her status with TNA Wrestling and she confirms that she has parted ways with the organization. Her contract expires today and company officials opted not to renew it. The Scream Queen claims she is unsure if her contract not being renewed is tied to her filing a workers compensation claim against the organization due to injuries she sustained working for them.
Yesterday my picture was taken down off of the TNA roster page. My contract expires today and TNA did not renew it, she wrote. I do not know if it has anything to do with it, but Ive made a Workers Comp claim against them due to injuries Ive sustained in the ring and my lawyers said to not go into anymore details.
At the April 20, 2010 Impact taping, Daffney was injured during a dark match against a novice performer, Miss Betsy (a/k/a Rosie Lottalove). She was taken to a hospital, where she was diagnosed with a deeply bruised sternum, a severe stinger and a concussion. Daffney made her return to TNA at the June 14 Xplosion taping, but would not resurface again until the December 9 episode of Impact. This marked her final appearance for TNA.
- It was speculated that Miss Tessmacher has parted ways with TNA Wrestling considering her pictures were removed from their website on Monday. However, they were added back today, as well as a profile to the roster page.
Daffney and Kiyoshi, however, were not added back to the site.
Backstage Reaction to Jeff Hardy's Situation Posted by Steve Carrier on 03/14/2011 at 08:04 PM
- As reported earlier, TNA Wrestling officials made the decision to send Jeff Hardy home from this week's iMPACT television tapings. Reports from last night's show were that Hardy was in no condition to perform and management decided to cut his match with Sting short.
Unlike the last time there was a question about Hardy's condition (prior to the Final Resolution pay-per-view in December, company officials were going to strip Hardy of the World Heavyweight Championship due to his condition backstage at the event, but then changed their minds) no one within the company has attempted to defend him. Many company employees are very upset about the situation, especially with the decision to allow Hardy to go out in front of the audience considering he stumbled on the ramp and nearly tripped over the ring steps. Others were surprised that an audible wasn't called to "make it up" to the audience.
While Hardy has been sent home from this week's iMPACT tapings, no further decision has been made regarding his future in the organization.
Hardy tweeted last night that "things are op." His next court date in Moore County, North Carolina is scheduled for Wednesday.
The Great Khali def. WWE Champion The Miz by Disqualification Sheamus def. U.S. Champion Daniel Bryan Randy Orton def. Mason Ryan Vickie Guerrero def. Trish Stratus in a No Disqualification Match John Cena def. Alberto Del Rio by Disqualification
ST. LOUIS, Mo. Although St. Louis lies some 900 miles from Seaside Heights, with Jersey Shores Nicole Snooki Polizzi acting as celebrity guest star, there was bound to be some explosive grenades, painful fist pumps and even a couple of cheap shots.
John Cena def. Alberto Del Rio by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS) For the first time ever, John Cena, the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship, faced off against Alberto Del Rio, the No. 1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. As the two men squared off, Del Rios former NXT Rookie, Brodus Clay watched from the Mexican elitists corner until the proceedings were interrupted by The Rock. Or at least what looked like The Rock. In actuality, it was WWE Champion The Miz dressed as The Brahma Bull.
The shenanigans distracted Cena, who quickly fell under the attack of Del Rio and Clay. With the Cenation Commander-in-Chief down, Miz joined in the beatdown, eventually leaving Cena a lifeless heap on the arena floor.
Vickie Guerrero def. Trish Stratus in a No Disqualification Match; Six-Person Tag Team Match announced for WrestleMania (WATCH: PART 1 | PART 2 | PHOTOS) Vickie Grenade Guerrero is blowin up! The former SmackDown Official Consultant competed against legendary Diva Trish Stratus in a No Disqualification Match for her chance to be hired to Raw with her boyfriend Dolph Ziggler. And with some underhanded assistance from Lay-Cool, she actually pulled it off.
Guerrero celebrated as Raws celebrity guest star, Snooki from Jersey Shore, looked on. Before Vickie and Lay-Cool could further pummel Trish, Snooki slid into the ring and attacked Layla. Thats when John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler charged the ring. Before tempers could boil over further, Guerrero issued a challenge and the Jersey Shore star accepted. At WrestleMania, Snooki, Trish Stratus & John Morrison will take on Layla, Michelle McCool & Dolph Ziggler in a Six-Person Tag Team Match!
Drew Carey announced as a member of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2011 (WATCH) Drew Carey, come on down! The host of The Price is Right and entrant in 2001's Royal Rumble joins Shawn Michaels, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, "Bullet" Bob Armstrong and Sunny as an inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2011.
Randy Orton def. Mason Ryan (WATCH | PHOTOS) Three up, three down. First, there was Michael McGillicutty. Next up, David Otunga. And now, a third New Nexus disciple, Mason Ryan, has taken his place at the end of The Vipers boot. Orton managed to defeat all three men in three weeks. And in doing so, he prevented all of them from being in CM Punks corner during his WrestleMania bout against Orton. Not only that, after each of his three respective victories, The Viper punted each man in the skull, in direct defiance of The Second City Savior.
Michael Cole surprised Jerry The King Lawler with a special guest (WATCH | PHOTOS) Have you no shame, Michael Cole? In a repulsive effort to discredit his WrestleMania opponent, Jerry The King Lawler, the Raw announcer brought out Lawlers son, Brian Christopher, to confront him. A former WWE Superstar, Christopher (also known as Grandmaster Sexay) accused his father of being absent from his life growing up and proclaimed that he was the bigger Superstar of the two.
Coming to Lawlers defense was his former announce partner, Jim Ross. As Good Ol J.R. ratcheted up the rhetoric, Cole's trainer, Jack Swagger, attacked. He then slapped an ankle lock on the WWE Hall of Famer before relenting and imploring Cole to slap an ankle lock on Ross himself.
Sheamus def. U.S. Champion Daniel Bryan (WATCH | PHOTOS) Less than a week before St. Patricks Day and the Irishmans luck has taken a turn. After weeks of frustrating losses, Sheamus vowed to win the U.S. Title this week or he would quit WWE. Surviving an arduous match against U.S. Champion Daniel Bryan, The Celtic Warrior prevailed to log his first win in weeks and bring the U.S. Title to Ireland.
The Great Khali def. WWE Champion The Miz by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS) Perhaps knowing that he faced too tall a task, WWE Champion The Miz seized an opportunity against The Great Khali. During their bout, Mizs fired assistant, Alex Riley, entered the ring and attacked The Punjabi Nightmare. The distraction allowed Miz to grab a steel chair, which he used to pummel Khali. Even after it was clear that Khali was incapacitated, Miz continued his attack, demonstrating an unseen level of viciousness.
Raw GM arranged two matches (PHOTOS) WWE Champion The Miz couldnt help himself. The arrogant Superstar ranted and ranted about how much more awesome he is than John Cena, Dwayne The Rock Johnson and anyone else on the Raw roster. Fate would intervene when Raws anonymous General Manager arranged two first-time ever matches. The first will pit No. 1 contender for the WWE Title, John Cena, against the No. 1 contender for the World Heavyweight Title, Alberto Del Rio. The second contest forces The Cleveland Screamer himself to face The Great Khali.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson addressed John Cena and WWE Champion The Miz (WATCH) After taking several shots across the bow courtesy of John Cena and WWE Champion The Miz, Dwayne The Rock Johnson replied with a few shots of his own. The Great One belittled the two WrestleMania rivals, first cracking on Cenas maturity and then threatening to layeth the SmackDown on Miz.
"Hurricane" Helms involved in bar incident Posted by Dave Mitchell on 03/14/2011 at 04:27 PM
Former WWE star Gregory "Hurricane" Helms was reportedly arrested once again over the weekend, according to North Carolina's WTSB Radio.
Helms was involved in a bar fight on Sunday night and was charged with "simple affray" following an altercation at a bar called "The Rehab".
According to the police report, the other person in the fight reportedly touched Helms' girlfriend which led to the confrontation. Lt. Both men were released at the scene but were ordered to appear in court on April 28 to answer to the charges.
In May 2008, Helms was charged with assault following an alleged incident at another Smithfield club. Those charges were dismissed in July 2008.
Helms responded to the reports on Twitter denying that he was actually arrested: "Can't let Jeff have all the heat! LOL But I didn't get arrested at all. Got a citation for defending my woman. No regrets, no apologies."
- Sheamus declared at this weekend's OKC live event that his "King" persona is dead and long lives The Celtic Warrior. Sheamus cut a promo before his match with Yoshi Tatsu and said ever since he won King of the Ring, he has been on the biggest losing streak of his career.
