John Morrison statement on Melina's release Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 08/05/2011 at 02:36 PM
John Morrison issued the following statement via Twitter concerning Melina, his girlfriend, who was released this afternoon from her contract with WWE.
Ive always believed that Melina is the most talented Diva ever employed by World Wrestling Entertainment. (not to mention the hottest!) Her face conveys emotion. Vince McMahon likes to say Television is a feeling and I agree with him. Thats what Sports Entertainment is all about. Melinas presence on Television, aside from the obvious (she be sexy!) is raw emotion- joy, rage, surprise, disgust her passion just pours out of her
Melinas presence on Monday Night Raw will be missed by the WWE universe and especially by me.
I think this is the end of a chapter in the book of @RealMelina I met Melina on my audition for Tough Enough 3, I never forgot the smile, and hug she gave me when I made the show and she got cut and told to go home. Ive stood next to her with Joey while MNM was yelled at; told wed never make it, we were worthless. Ive seen her come back from 2 career threatening injuries. She is one of a kind, and talented enough to do whatever she wants. Im proud to be her man. I love her, and will support whatever she chooses to do next.

We start with a look back at last week as Sting's shocking display of dishonesty, as well as Bully Ray hanging Ken Anderson out to dry, led to Kurt Angle retaining the World Title against Anderson in a cage. Then we go to the ring where Bully Ray and the rest of Immortal are in the ring. Bully Ray puts over Scott Steiner, Gunner, Abyss, and Jeff Jarrett, then gets to Anderson and calls him an asshole. Ray says this town ain't big enough for both Immortal and Fortune, but Anderson interrupts, calls Bully Ray an asshole, and says this town isn't big enough for he and Ray. Anderson reminds Ray that it was his idea to get in the ring with Kurt Angle, then screwed him once the match happened. Anderson says Ray hopes it was worth it, because one of these days, he's going to get him back. Ray reminds Anderson that he lost the World Title after only one week, while he himself is a 23 time tag champion and he's the guy in charge of the group when Hogan and Bischoff aren't around. Ray's going to be the World Champion, and Anderson is a piece of dog crap on his shoes. Anderson says they're both not booked, and quotes Meatloaf in asking Ray if he wants to settle this. Anderson and Ray go at each other and the rest of Immortal pulls them apart.
Fortune comes out and says it sounded like Immortal was calling them out, and they will accept that invitation. Fortune rushes the ring and clears Immortal out, though James Storm appears to have hurt his back during the skirmish.
Tonight, we're in for three Bound For Glory Series matches and the official contract signing for the Angle-Sting match at Hardcore Justice.
Miss Tessmacher is backstage, and she's...STRETCHING!
Mickie James comes out to join Mike and Taz for commentary on our next match...
Madison Rayne vs Miss Tessmacher
Madison has Tessmacher's partner Tara ejected from ringside, but turns her back and Tessmacher blindsides her with a series of forearms, then sits her in the corner and rubs her ass in Madison's face. Now Tessmacher commits a cardinal mistake and turns her back, and pays for it when Madison forearms her in the back of the head and gouges at her face. Madison with an old school Moolah toss across the ring by the hair, then does it again just to be a jerk. Maidson skullhumps Tessmacher's head into the mat, but turns her back to mouth off to Mickie and Tessmacher gets a small package for the win.
Winner: Miss Tessmacher
Madison attacks Tessmacher after the match and Mickie gets up to try and intervene, but Angelina Love runs out of the back and attacks Mickie. Mickie fights back, but now Winter comes out of nowhere and lays Mickie out, then Angelina holds Mickie so Winter can lay her out with the title belt.
We catch up on the Bound For Glory Series matches over the last week, and Crimson still remains in first place with 40 points. Now we head to the ring for the first Series match of the night...
Bound For Glory Series: Devon vs AJ Styles
Feeling out process to start, Devon pulls out a leapfrog and a hiptoss, but AJ catches Devon with a standing dropkick to the face for 2 as the Pope comes out to join Devon's family at ringside. Devon charges AJ, but AJ gets the boot up and tries a charge of his own, only to run into a flying back elbow from Devon for 2. Devon sees Pope out in the crowd with his family and is not happy, and the distraction allows AJ to roll Devon into a cross armbreaker, but Devon makes it to the ropes and then rolls out to the floor. AJ with a sunset flip for 2, then tries pulling Devon up into the Styles Clash and gets kicked in the face. Devon goes for the Curtain Call, but AJ slips out the back and hits a Pelle Kick and covers for 2 as Christopher Daniels comes out to take a seat at ringside. AJ now is distracted by Daniels and goes out to the apron to talk to Daniels, then tries a springboard move back into the ring, but Devon ducks and rolls AJ up for 3.
Winner: Devon
Pope gives Devon's wife a big hug and they applaud as Devon comes out to get in Pope's face and AJ comes out to ringside and ends up arguing with Daniels all the way to the back.
We go to a video package looking at the history of the Sting-Kurt Angle feud, then we go to Pope, who says he's going out there tonight to get more points and is worried about what's going to happen between he and Devon at Hardcore Justice.
Matt Morgan, torn shoulder and all, joins Mike Tenay and Taz for our next match...
Bound For Glory Series: The Pope vs Samoa Joe
They circle one another for a moment and then Pope ducks a couple of wild swings and pops Joe with an uppercut. Pope continues to outmaneuver Joe and gets a pair of armdrags, a dropkick for 2, and then another armdrag into an armbar. Joe just powers Pope into the corner, but Pope dodges a charge and goes out to the floor. Joe chases after him around ringside and back into the ring where Pope gets an inverted atomic drop and a flying shouderblock. Pope wit ha series of high elbows and a straight double axhandle to the face. Devon comes out to ringside as Pope gets an O'Connor Roll, and Joe slides out and traps Pope in a choke until Pope taps out.
Winner: Samoa Joe
Wait a minute, Joe won't release the hold and his eyes are rolling back in his head, so the referee reverses the decision.
Winner via DQ (reverse): Devon
Joe is PISSED, and chases the referee to the back as Devon argues with his sons at ringside.
Joe is backstage yelling about how he's being screwed over by the company, and he knows they're trying to kill him, and he's not going to go silently. Going forward he (I guess some mysterious TNA official) is going to be held responsible for what happens out there.
Back in the Fortune locker room, James Storm's back is still hurting and Bobby Roode offers to take his match tonight against Hernandez since they have to defend the World Tag Team Title against Mexican America at Hardcore Justice. Storm says okay, if he wants to.
Bully Ray is backstage arguing on the phone with Hulk Hogan, and reluctantly agrees to go apologize to Ken Anderson tonight.
Back to the ring, and Bobby Roode tells the referee that Storm can't go in the next match and he will be taking Storm's place.
Roode fires off some right hands and Hernandez casually tosses Roode into the corner, but Roode flattens Hernandez with a running clothesline, and a second one sends Hernandez out to the floor. Roode slingshots himself over the top rope and comes down on top of Hernandez, then takes a chair and spears it into the gut of Hernandez, then turns it flat and slams it over his back. Roode tosses a variety of items into the ring, smashes a trash can lid over Hernendez's head, but Hernandez reverses a whip and sends Roode slamming into the ringpost. Hernandez covers Roode for 2 on the floor, then rolls him back inside and hits a slingshot shoulderblock into the ring. Hernandez takes his belt off and whips Roode in the back with it, then wraps the belt around Roode's throat and chokes him with it. Roode fires back at Hernandez, but Hernandez flattens him again with a big running bodyblock and then tosses the trash can lid at Roode's face and covers for 2. Roode rolls out to the floor, but Hernandez goes after him and rams his back into the apron, then whips Roode into the ringpost. Back into the ring, where Roode gets the trash can lid and loudly bashes Hernandez over the head with it repeatedly, but tries a charge into the corner and Hernandez gets his boot up. Hernandez skins the cat up to the top rope, but Roode pops up and bashes him in the head with a trash can and then superplexes him into the ring. Roode gets a kendo stick and starts killing Hernandez with it, then comes off the second rope with a Blockbuster for 2. Roode comes off the ropes, but Hernandez nearly tackles Roode clear out of the building with a shoulderblock and then sets up for the Border Toss. Roode slips out and hits a spinebuster, then gets Hernandez in a Fujiwara armbar. Hernandez taps, but the referee is distracted byt Anarquia attacking Storm on the floor. Sarita comes in from behind and hits Roode with a kendo stick, and Hernandez rolls Roode up with his feet on the ropes for the win.
Winner: Hernandez
Bully Ray comes into Ken Anderson's dressing room backstage and says he respects the business and the guys who came before him, and Hogan came before the both of them and neither would be here if it weren't for Hogan. He's going to apologize to Anderson for the way he treated him and anything he's done that has offended him. Ray extends his hand to Anderson, and Anderson is dubious, so Ray says he doesn't apologize to many people, and he again apologizes. Anderson finally shakes Ray's hand, and Ray pulls Anderson into a knee to the groin and asks him who the asshole is now. What a great heel!
We go back to the production truck as Kurt Angle prepares to provide commentary on the Empty Arena Match he and Sting had back in 2009, and then we're back to the ring...
Austin Aries vs Alex Shelley
Aries attacks Shelley from behind, then drapes his neck across the bottom rope and hits a slingshot double axhandle to the floor. Aries tries to slingshot into a senton back in, but Shelley gets the knees up and peppers Aries with fists and a leaping enziguiri, then covers for a series of 2 counts. Aries tries to sucker Shelley with a kick, but Shelley catches the boot, ducks an enziguiri, and gets la magistral cradle for 2. Shelley opens up with a series of chops and hits a Flatliner into the second turnbuckle for 2.

The referee takes the jacket away from Aries and falls on his butt, Shelley tries for Sliced Bread #2 but Aries dumps him into a seated position on the second rope and kicks him in the nuts, then hits a brainbuster for the win.
Winner: Austin Aries
Aries puts the boots to Shelley while yelling at him that he just beat him with a wrestling maneuver, but Brian Kendrick runs out and chases Aries off. Aries says he'll see Kendrick at the PPV and walks off.
Eric Young tries out for movie and talk show roles, then we go to Jeremy Borash with Kurt Angle as they discuss the Empty Arena Match they had back when Angle was the head of the Main Event Mafia and Sting wanted to take his place. They didn't show the whole thing, but we got a good sampling of them ramming one another into guardrails and rows of chairs, as well as one spot where Sting dumped Angle over a railing from the stands and to the floor from a pretty good height.
We see Sting arriving at the Impact Zone just in time for three quarters of the show to be over, then we're back to the ring...
Bound For Glory Series: Gunner & Scott Steiner vs Crimson & Rob Van Dam
Only the winner of the fall in this match will get the points.

With that win, RVD now rockets up to second place with 35 points, right behind Crimson. They do a postmatch promo with Christy Hemme, who points out that they'll be facing each other in just three days at Hardcore Justice. Crimson says RVD got the win tonight, but this weekend, he'll be the one walking out with the points.
Mike Tenay and Taz run us down the card for this weekend's Hardcore Justice PPV, then we're off to the ring for the contract signing for the Sting-Kurt Angle contract signing. At Jeremy Borash's direction, Angle signs the contract first, then Sting. Borash asks Angle for his final comments before this weekend, and he says that there are very few men in the business whom Angle respects, and Sting is one of them. He's never politicked or screwed anyone, and if he ends up half the man Sting is, he knows he did a good job. But at Hardcore Justice, he's coming after Sting and it's strictly business, nothing personal, and after the match, it will end in a handshake and then man who is going to walk away with the World Title is Kurt Angle. Sting takes the microphone and says he suddenly doesn't feel like laughing too much. He thanks Angle for the words because after 25 years in the business, he feels like he accomplished someone and had an effect on someone as great as Angle. He's just as big a fan as Angle, and it doesn't matter who he's talking to, he says the best wrestler he's ever faced has been Kurt Angle. There isn't anything Kurt can't do, and no matter what aspect of wrestling it is, Angle's the best, and to top it all off, he's done what no professional wrestler has and won an Olympic gold medal. The thing is that the title is his life blood and his way to right everything that's wrong, and he made a vow to Dixie Carter, the wrestlers in the back, and the fans that before he hangs it up, he'll return the company to Dixie Carter, and he can't lose to Angle at Hardcore Justice. Angle won't have to kill him to win the title, but he'll have to come damn close, and he's going to get his hand raised at Hardcore Justice, and that's damn real.

The Undertaker's possible return date Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 08/03/2011 at 07:09 PM
In the latest edition of WWE Magazine, it appears as if the company are hyping a return for The Undertaker at the WWE Vengeance pay-per-view on October 23rd.
The preview reads:
On October 23, Vengeance rises from the grave in the form of an all new Pay-Per-View. What better time and place for The Undertaker to make his return to a WWE ring. After all, it was a year and a day to the date that the Deadman lost a Buried Alive match against Kane with the help of the Nexus at the WWE Bragging Rights Pay-Per-View in 2010. The Phenom hasnt come calling for revenge on that score (some streak got in the way), so if we were Kane or Wade Barrett, we would watch our backs come October, because if you happen to hear that ominous gong, youll know the bell tolls for thee.

Life & Style reports that George Clooney is now dating former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler after recently splitting from model Elisabetta Canali.
Keibler reportedly flew to Italy to be with the Academy Award winning actor at his villa in Lake Como. She tweeted the following about the trip: "I'm in heaven."
Clooney and Keibler have been acquaintances for some time and were set up by a mutual friend. A source close to the situation says his relationship with Keibler is "purely for fun."
"They have a lot of friends in common and run in the same circles," the source said.

George Clooney laat er geen gras over groeien. Een maand nadat hij Elisabetta Canalis dumpte, zou de acteur opnieuw van het straat zijn. Clooney wordt gelinkt aan ex-worstelaarster Stacy Keibler. Clooney en Keibler kunnen het goed met elkaar vinden, maar van een serieuze relatie zou geen sprake zijn. "Wat hij met Stacy heeft, is puur voor de fun", aldus een insider
