TNA Sacrifice Pay-Per View Results - May 11, 2008
TNA Sacrifice Opener:
The PPV opened with a video feature based on Scott Steiner vs. Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle for Joe's TNA title.
They went to video from 7:07 PM of Kurt Angle arriving via limo to the Impact Zone. Jeremy Borash said he was in Korea when Kurt was injured and asked Angle for an update. Angle said his doctor, Dr. Jho has advised him not to wrestle tonight due to the injury. Angle said that if it was up to him, he would wrestle, but he can't afford to do so because he has three cracked vertebrae in his neck. He said he won the Olympics with a broken neck and headlined Wrestlemania with a broken neck, but he's not 25 years old anymore and if his doctor tells him not to compete, he can't.
They then went to video of Scott Steiner arriving earlier today. Lauren asked Scott his thoughts on Angle not being able to wrestle. Scott said that he didn't know anything about Angle being hurt. He said that he was originally supposed to wrestle Samoa Joe in a singles bout, so it's interesting to see what was gone down, but he still doesn't trust Angle. Lauren was surprised to see not just Rick Steiner but Kevin Nash emerge from Scott's care.
They went to footage of Jeremy Borash catching Samoa Joe as he arrived at the venue. When asked about Kurt's injury, Joe said that he had heard rumors but now that it's official, it's a shame when anyone goes down to injury, even someone he has issues with. Borash asked Joe what he thought about Nash arriving with the Steiners. Joe looked stunned, then walked off.

Trigg said he was concerned about the injury because Angle is someone who is known for taking risks and working with injuries, but after suffering the injury and trying to guy through it with rest and workouts, Angle had to pull out. It was a case of not giving the fans his best and being out for months, as opposed to hopefully just being out a few weeks. Lauren asked Trigg what he thought the outcome of the TNA title bout would be now. They were linking Trigg and Angle as friends as Trigg said that he was concerned about Angle's injuries after all Angle has done to help him prepare for MMA bouts. He predicted Joe.

Roode took control and they put over that Roode didn't want to tag Booker, preferring to control the bout himself. Roode caught Cage in the corner with a clothesline, then hit the rolling snap mare.
Booker offered to tag and Roode ignored him. That led to Cage starting to fire back, but being caught with a spinebuster.

Kevin Nash talks about Impact vs. Smackdown Posted by Bobby Spade on 05/08/2008 at 04:05 PM
Credit: prowrestling.NET
Kevin Nash said there are similarities between working for Vince McMahon and Jeff Jarett during an interview with the UK Sun. "With creative, in WWE, people would always go back and forth about something and finally someone would say: You know what, lets just go talk to Vince. Im tired of talking to a horses ass. Vince what do you want? Vince would make a decision and it would get done. And in TNA, its like that with Jeff. Anytime theres infighting just grab Jeff and say: What do you want? Tell these guys what you want.
When asked if he'd rather see TNA Impact go head-to-head with Raw or Smackdown, Nash ripped the latter. "I wouldn't want to go against Smackdown," he said. "It's like beating a guy with one leg. That show isn't even watchablesorry Take (Undertaker)."

Nick Bollea Vader Hulk Hogan zat er bij en keek er naar.
Nick Bollea is door een rechter veroordeeld tot een celstraf van acht maanden wegens het veroorzaken van een auto-ongeluk waarbij zijn vriend zwaargewond raakte. De 17-jarige zoon van Hulk Hogan werd onmiddellijk na de uitspraak afgevoerd naar een gevangenis in Florida. Naast de celstraf legde de rechter een proeftijd van vijf jaar op en werd hij veroordeeld tot vijfhonderd uur dienstverlening. Nick is zijn rijbewijs drie jaar kwijt en mag in zijn proeftijd geen alcohol drinken.
Bollea raakte in augustus betrokken bij een auto-ongeluk. Hij reed tegen een boom nadat hij de macht over het stuur verloor. Zijn medepassagier John Graziano, die geen veiligheidsriem droeg, raakte zwaargewond en zal de rest van zijn leven medische zorg nodig hebben.
Nick verontschuldigde zich tijdens de zitting tegenover de ouders van John, die in de zaal zaten. "Ik denk iedere dag aan het ongeluk en aan John", vertelde hij volgens het Amerikaanse tijdschrift People. "Ik kan nooit genoeg zeggen hoezeer het me spijt."
De familie van de 23-jarige John, die zijn schedel brak en andere zeer zware verwondingen opliep, is een civiele zaak gestart tegen de ouders van Nick. Ze vinden dat Terry en Linda Bollea, die momenteel in scheiding liggen, aansprakelijk zijn voor de daden van hun zoon. (novum/ap/tdb)

The Miami Herald has an interview with SmackDown Superstar Fit Finlay. In the interview he talks about his lengthy journey in professional wrestling, the WWE Hall of Fame, how hard it is to be away from family when on the road, the WWE Divas, seeing himself in video games and more. On Ric Flair, Finlay said, "I would love to go out on a higher note than Ric Flair because I think Ric held on too long. My opinion." Finlay then praises Ashley Massaro. "Ashley's got the guts. I've seen her go through a lot of stuff, a lot of injuries, but she picks herself up and keeps going, and that's what it's all about. Keep going."
WWE Hall of Fame "Superstar" Billy Graham was hospitalized on Monday evening after falling in his hotel room.

Updates on The Boogeyman and Big Daddy V Posted by Randy Gordon on 05/06/2008 at 12:27 PM
The entire ECW roster participated in last night's match on Raw with the exception of two wrestlers; The Boogeyman and Big Daddy V. Boogeyman went down with a calf injury last fall -- which has likely since healed -- but creative doesn't appear to be interested in bringing him back. At last word, the plan on The Boogeyman is to only use him for wacky television skits when need be. Regarding Big Daddy V, he was abruptly pulled off the road in the mid-March due to concern from management over his health and chronic obesity. V has been instructed to lose weight before he can return to the ring.

As reported earlier, Petey Williams suffered what is believed to be a broken orbital bone at the Impact taping last Tuesday in Orlando, Florida during a 6-man non-title X-division match. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that it was originally thought that he had suffered a broken jaw from a stiff knee by Jimmy Rave. According to Meltzer, Williams freaked out after he suffered the injury because he does not have health insurance but Terry Taylor told him to go to the hospital and TNA would pick up the bill. The match in which the injury occurred will air on this Thursday's edition of Impact on Spike TV.

TORONTO Former WWE Champion Randy Ortons pursuit of the title has the Superstar crazed with nothing but revenge on his mind. His opponent Monday Night, the reigning Mr. Money in the Bank, CM Punk, also has his sights on gold.
While Orton knows he will fight Triple H at Judgment Day, Punk continues to bide his time until he sees the opportunity to challenge for a World Title, with the deadline for cashing in WrestleMania XXV in Houston. But both men had their plans of gaining momentum dashed when General Manager William Regal ended their one-on-one encounter, once again wielding his power by turning out the lights.
Neither Punk nor Ortons nights were over, however, as the Straightedge Superstar competed in the main event match that saw the entire ECW roster take on Triple H & Mr. Kennedy.

I got all my sisters and me Beth Phoenix invoked her rematch clause on Raw, but Womens Champion Mickie James successfully defended her title against the former champion in a Lumberjack Match. Over the past few weeks, the Divas of WWE have been involved in 12-Diva Tag Matches, but this night belonged to the Womens Champion.

Tumultuous tandem Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho & Shawn Michaels teamed together on Raw to defeat WWE Tag Team Champions John Morrison & The Miz in a non-title match.

The Cabana gets Rowdy Carlito hosted a special edition of his Cabana with a very special guest WWE Hall of Famer Rowdy Roddy Piper. Carlito told Piper that it wasnt cool when he slapped Santino Marella last week, which brought Marella and a microphone to the arena.
Insulting Piper, Marella berated Hot Rod for his actions, and the No. 1 contenders to the World Tag Team Championship were poised to attack until Cody Rhodes came to Pipers defense. Rhodes told Carlito & Santino that even though his fellow champion Hardcore Holly wasnt in the arena tonight, another duo was anxious to meet Roddy Piper. Rhodes introduced Cryme Tyme, and JTG & Shad joined Rhodes and Piper in ridding Toronto of Can-tino.
Angry god JBLs anger over losing the Fatal Four Way at Backlash continued for a second straight week, as the self-proclaimed Wrestling god took on Canadas own DH Smith. Offering a warning before the match to Smith, JBL pummeled the young Raw Superstar and solidified his threats to John Cena the man who eliminated him at Backlash. JBL is more focused with his newfound attitude, and he is looking to make Cena whom he will face at Judgment Day and anyone else who stands in his way pay for his misery.
For love of country GM William Regal continued to lend a hand to his fellow Britons, Paul & Katie Lea Burchill, when he placed the siblings into a Handicap Match for the second straight week. Before the match, Regal removed Jim Ross from commentary and replaced him with Mike Adamle, much to the chagrin of everyone but the General Manager. The Burchills made the most of the opportunity afforded to them, destroying their competition once again. Paul delivered a devastating curb stomp to John Cutler, again allowing Katie Lea to get the pin for the victory.
Apologies, surprises DAMN Last week, Trevor Murdoch expressed his frustration over mounting losses with his rendition of "Friends in Low Places" much to the chagrin of his tag team partner, Lance Cade.

Torontos own Trish Stratus made a surprising return to the Air Canada Centre, and then she was joined by Ron Simmons, who had his own critique of Trevors tune: Damn!
Regal goes to the Extreme The 2008 King of the Ring and Raw General Manager, William Regal, began his night by receiving a ringing endorsement from Mr. McMahon. With that in hand, he continued his iron-fisted rule over the Superstars of Raw.
Regal came face-to-face with Mr. Kennedy, whom he brawled with last week, and on Raw warned not to draw his ire. But the loudmouth would not listen, and Regal then ordered Kennedy into a Handicap Match against the entire ECW roster a favor for ECW General Manager Armando Estrada to help promote Tuesdays 100th episode of ECW on Sci Fi.
WWE Champion Triple H then came to the ring to voice his displeasure over Regals decision to turn the lights out on his match with Randy Orton last week. The Games mouth landed him in the Handicap Match alongside Kennedy, and when the smoke cleared, ECWs best and brightest stood tall with the odds stacked in their favor.
