According to WrestleZone, Brodie Lee's contract with Dragon Gate USA has expired. It seems that while Lee could agree to a new deal and keep working with DGUSA, TNA Impact Wrestling is a very real possibility for Brodie Lee. No solid confirmation on how close or far apart TNA Impact and Brodie Lee might be from a deal getting signed. Lee has been a top name on the Independent scene for several years now. He stands at 6 foot 7 inches and his gimmick is a mean trucker with the nickname "Big Rig" Brodie Lee.
JTG and Darren Young make their way to the ring and William Regal shows his excitement over their presence in the arena. JTG addresses the haters of St. Louis and he wonders why they are cheering him. JTG says that he is in the ring with NXTs biggest star, Darren Young. For thirty weeks, Darren has been killing the competition and now that he is hanging with the big homey, he is guaranteed to be the next WWE breakout star.

The Usos come out and they look like they got dressed in the dark. They want to know if they heard JTG and Darren say that they are the best tag team in the WWE. They might have won a few matches, but they forgot to mention what happened after those matches. We see highlights of the two post match attacks by the Usos.
JTG stops the Usos and he says that they were attacked after the match and they wonder why the Usos are proud of that.
Jimmy wants to know if JTG and Darren think they are the best tag team. Jimmy says that their blood is full of tag team champions. He mentions the Wild Samoans who won the tag titles three times. Their father, Rikishi is a former tag team champion. They are future tag team champions.
Darren asks if this is a history class and then he says that no one under fifty knows who the Wild Samoans are. JTG says that he loves the business and he says that the Usos family were a complete joke. JTG and Darren get out of the ring before the Usos can do anything.
Jey says that we will see who is laughing after the main event.

Mr. Anderson Interview: Leaving WWE, PG Era, Constant Face Heel Changes And More Yesterday, 05:38 PM Posted by 404 in Latest TNA Wrestling News & Rumors TNA star Mr. Anderson spoke with Al Castle of Pro Wrestling Illustrated for an interview that is featured in the current issue of The Wrestler/Inside Wrestling magazine. The highlights are included below. The full interview is available in the magazine, which is available on newsstands and at PWI-online.com.
On the story behind him leaving WWE: "The thing is that the chairman of that company likes guys who stand up for themselves. He likes guys who arent just pushovers, who arent just glad-handing, nonsensical yes-men, to quote another wrestler (CM Punk). And yet, it depends on what day it is and what side of the bed he woke up on. So its really a gamble. If youre a pushover and youre a wimp and you say, Yes, yes, yes, yes, youre going to be trampled over, regardless. Youre going to get steamrolled regardless of how talented you are. But if you dont, if you play it the other way, you have a chance of being successful. Like you said, I made some mistakes. I stuck my foot in mouth when I shouldnt have.
"I spoke up when I shouldnt have. None of it was with bad intentions. Whats more, this is the wrestling business and some guys get injured. The interesting thing for me is that you look at that roster and there are guys that get injured time and time again. The Undertaker is good for an injury every year or so. Steve Austins been injured. Rey Mysterio gets injured. But when you havent made the right political decisions, and youve been injured a time or two, that could be possible ammo for some of those people who arent your allies to say, Boy, hes injured all the time. Is he not reliable? And when youre not around to defend yourself, that could be your downfall."
On why his memorable cage match with Kurt Angle at Lockdown 2010: "I think Kurt and I just cared so much about it. I really felt strongly at that point that I had something to prove. And I still do, to some degree, or else I would be out of the business. And I think Kurts the same way, which is why Kurt will go out on a house show in front of a couple hundred people sometimes and have the kind of match that maybe he shouldnt be having. He doesnt have a shut-off valve. And Im kind of the same way. I think it was the right mix of action and soap opera that we needed. I watched that match over and over. It happens to be my very favorite match of my career. And I still look at that match and think, Ah, I wish I had done that differently."
On adopting his "asshole" character: "It wasnt so much a change as it was this was stuff that I had pitched years ago to Vince McMahon and he said absolutely not. The very first meeting I had with him, I pitched the asshole idea. I would bring up how Steve Austin was always telling people, There are about 10,000 people here calling you an asshole, and that was a bad thing. But what if we turned it around?
"What if we played into the notion that nice guys finish last, and so Im an asshole. I think it was Colin Powell who said, Its sometimes better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission. It was one of those things that I knew in my head at the time would work. But now that I asked Vince and he told me no, I cant say it for sure. Even if I did say and it worked, Id still get into trouble. Whereas if I just went out there and said it and it worked, I could have apologized later and said I just felt it at the moment."
On whether wrestling should be PG:"I dont know how its possible to have a show about guys that want to fight each other, with half-naked women running around and all of the other stuff that we have, and have it be PG. I just dont understand how that works. It doesnt make sense to me. Me favorite years in the wrestling business were the Attitude Era.
"Maybe its as simple as theyve decided, We need it to get away from this for a while, as far away as possible, so that when we bring it back it will be a whats-old-is-new kind of thing. Our target audience is 18-34. And youre giving them PG content If youre 18 years old, you dont want to see PG stuff. You dont want to see somebody called a darn butthole. It insults their intelligence."
On the frequency of heel and babyface turns in TNA:"Heres where sometimes people dont understand the full story. There are reasons why somebody will suddenly change from heel to babyface, from a logistics concern. Maybe somebody is hurt and maybe somebody needs to fill a spot that was originally intended for somebody else. And we cant think of somebody else to fill that role, so we need you to fill that role. Part of me thinks that wrestling needs to evolve again.
"Theres this thought that, in wrestling, it needs to be black or white. Youre either a good guy or a bad guy. I dont know anybody in my life that is wholly evil or wholly good. With Breaking Bad, or Sons Of Anarchy, or Weedsyou look at these shows and theres a guy who is a chemistry teacher who sells meth. Is this a good guy? By societys standards, no. But we look at the TV show and we can sympathize with him. So I dont know what the answer is. But I do believe that sometimes in the wrestling business, its almost forced. And it can be insulting to the wrestling audience, whereas on a TV show like Sons Of Anarchy, you decide. But in wrestling, its Hey, Im the bad guy. Boo me, or Im the good guy. Cheer for me."
Hell in a Cell Match After Raw Goes off the Air Posted by Steve Carrier on 09/27/2011 at 12:30 AM

WWE Raw SuperShow results: Last stop before Hell By: James Wortman September 26, 2011 Tags: Raw, WWE Raw SuperShow: September 26, 2011 KANSAS CITY, Mo. As Satans Structure hung ominously over the ring, WWE Chief Operating Officer Triple H struggled to keep WWE Raw SuperShow from becoming engulfed in the flames of chaos, just six days before WWE Hell in a Cell. CM Punk def. Alberto Del Rio; Del Rio assaulted rivals with a steel chair (WATCH | PHOTOS) In an incredible preview of what is to come this Sunday in their Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match, CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio vented their many frustrations with one another as WWE Champion John Cena looked on from the commentary table. The Voice of the Voiceless sealed a pinfall victory, gaining some much-needed momentum before stepping inside Satans Structure.
After the match, the Cell itself which had been hanging above the arena for the duration of the evening descended upon Cena, Del Rio, Punk and The Mexican Aristocrats intervening ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez. Punk and Cena pummeled Rodriguez with the Go to Sleep and the Attitude Adjustment respectively, then turned their attention on one another unwittingly giving Del Rio an opportunity to strike. Bashing both Superstars with a steel chair, Del Rio stood triumphant in the ring, giving his Hell in a Cell competitors a taste of things to come less than a week later inside the vile structure.
David Otunga offered legal counsel to a group of distraught Superstars (WATCH) Irate over Triple Hs decisions as COO, Christian, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes, Vickie Guerrero and U.S. Champion Dolph Ziggler met with former WWE Tag Team Champion and Harvard University graduate David Otunga, who offered his legal advice as the recipient of a law degree from the prestigious institution. Citing unsafe working conditions, Otunga urged the group to unite against The King of Kings.
WWE Tag Team Champions Air Boom & Zack Ryder def. U.S. Champion Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger & Mason Ryan (WATCH | PHOTOS) As Vickie frantically scoured the locker room area for a tag team partner for her clients, Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler were forced to battle Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne and Zack Ryder in a 2-on-3 scenario. During the match, Vickie eventually emerged with a reluctant Mason Ryan, urging the Welsh powerhouse to join her team.
Ryan didnt exactly gel with Swagger or Ziggler, and ultimately turned on his impromptu tag team partners. Capitalizing on this justified betrayal, Ryder pinned Ziggler for the second time in as many weeks. It looks like Ziggler has even more to complain about on Twitter besides Hugh Jackmans sucker punch the week before! (MORE ON ZIGGLERS INJURY)
United States. Champion Dolph Ziggler def. Zack Ryder (WATCH | PHOTOS) Clearly, neither U.S. Champion Dolph Ziggler nor Jack Swagger are vying to become Broski of the Week anytime soon. With a little help from The All-American American, Ziggler retained his star-spangled title, much to Vickie Guerreros delight. Then, as ordered by WWEs resident cougar, Swagger and Ziggler continued to attack The Long Island Loudmouth until WWE Tag Team Champions Air Boom charged the ring and fought off the blond blowhards.
Since it was clear that Vickie wanted to keep both of her clients busy on WWE Raw SuperShow, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long announced that Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne would team with Ryder to face Swagger, Ziggler and a partner of Vickies choosing if she could find someone in three minutes!
WWE Champion John Cena def. Christian by Disqualification; Alberto Del Rio attacked The Champ (WATCH | PHOTOS) A lot of things have happened inside the callous confines of Hell in a Cell, but the WWE Universe has never witnessed a Triple Threat Match waged inside The Devils Playground. Despite the horrors that surely await him, WWE Champion John Cena had an air of confidence about him as he addressed the WWE Universe about his collision with Alberto Del Rio and CM Punk just six days later.
Cena locked up with Christian in a non-title showdown, but it was the verbal sparring between The Mexican Aristocrat and The Second City Savior on commentary that really enthralled our fans watching the action from home. The ringside confrontation got physical when Cena threw Christian over the announce table and into Punk. As Punk and Cena stared each other down, Del Rio assaulted The Straight Edge Superstar, then attacked Cena with an enziguri that resulted in Christians disqualification. Will Del Rios destiny be reclaimed at Hell in a Cell?
World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry assaulted The Great Khali (WATCH | PHOTOS) World Heavyweight Title holder Mark Henry was fined $250,000 for his actions on SmackDown, but it was The Great Khali who would pay an even greater price. The Punjabi Superstar motioned to the WWE Universe before his bout with Henry, The Worlds Strongest Athlete launched a devious sneak attack, cutting the goliath down to size with a Worlds Strongest Slam. At this rate, Henrys Hall of Pain is going to need a new wing.
Beth Phoenix & Natalya def. Divas Champion Kelly Kelly & Eve (WATCH | PHOTOS | MORE KELLY KELLY) Beth Phoenix is intimidating enough when shes in a good mood, but when shes angry, watch out. After failing to capture Kelly Kellys Divas Championship for a second time at Night of Champions in her hometown of Buffalo, N.Y., The Glamazon teamed with Natalya to take on the blonde bombshell and her longtime pal Eve. Beth and her Hart Dungeon-trained cohort were relentless, and scored a victory over the so-called Cinderellas when Beth hit Kelly Kelly with the Glam Slam.
Later in the night, it was announced that Beth will once again challenge Kelly Kelly for the Divas Championship at WWE Hell in a Cell. Will the Phoenix rise in New Orleans? (MATCH PREVIEW)
Cody Rhodes won a 10-Man Battle Royal for the Intercontinental Championship (WATCH | PHOTOS) Still feeling the effects of Randy Ortons brutal attack with the ring bell three night earlier, Cody Rhodes disrespect toward The Game nearly cost him the Intercontinental Championship. After outlasting eight elite Superstars in a COO-mandated Battle Royal for the illustrious title, the twisted and bitter Rhodes found himself face-to-face with Sheamus.The Celtic Warrior seemed primed to add the Intercontinental Title to his impressive list of accolades, but Christian interfered in the match, distracting his Hell in a Cell opponent and allowing Rhodes to send The Great White over the top rope with the aid of his protective mask.
Not content with merely costing Sheamus the title, Christian further brutalized his rival with a sinister post-match attack that sent The Celtic Warrior careening into the turnbuckle.
Superstars criticized WWE COO Triple H (PHOTOS) Further explaining the firing of The Miz & R-Truth one week earlier, Triple H continued to lay down the law. Fining World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry a $250,000 fine for putting his hands on Jim Ross and sending Jerry The King Lawler through the announce table on SmackDown, The Game then issued a stern warning to the entire locker room, emphasizing that no single Superstar is bigger than WWE. (WATCH: WHY MIZ & TRUTH WERE FIRED)
Taking umbrage with The King of Kings leadership ability, Vickie Guerrero, U.S. Champion Dolph Ziggler, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes and Christian confronted the COO, demanding justice. Justice was served swiftly by The Cerebral Assassin, but not in the manner that any of these dissenters would have liked.
Sick of Christians persistent whining for one more match, Triple H instead gave him three. Per The Game, the disgruntled Superstar would face Sheamus in six days at WWE Hell in a Cell, Randy Orton this Friday on SmackDown and WWE Champion John Cena later in the night!
As for Ziggler, he would defend his title against the very Superstar that defeated him (with Hugh Jackmans help) one week earlier on WWE Raw SuperShow none other than Long Island Iced Z, Zack Ryder.
Finally, Triple H passed judgment on Rhodes, who would immediately be forced to defend his Intercontinental Title in a 10-Man Battle Royal!
Chris Jericho Says WWE Stars Steal His Ideas Posted by Dave Mitchell on 09/26/2011 at 01:06 PM
Former WWE star Chris Jericho was recently interviewed by Duane Doogan of the Wrestling Voice radio show. Jericho had some controversial comments regarding WWE talent stealing his moves & ideas:
"There seems to be a lack of respect for the forefathers who came in and did it first and it's not just [CM] Punk, it's a whole litany of guys from Miz to Cody Rhodes to Mason Ryan to Sin Cara to Kelly Kelly, everybody is stealing moves, looks, ideas. Brian Pillman once told me if you want to make it in wrestling you have to do something that nobody has done before and nobody is doing that and they are coming off as second rate copies of Chris Jericho, and that's maybe why these guys aren't striking and I watch it and think, 'Seriously, again?'
"A couple of years ago you had 'Miz 4, John Cena 0', where did that come from? Conspiracy Theory, where did that come from? Best in the World, where did that come from? Wearing suits, talking slow, using big words, using certain moves, you know Miz used the word "troglodyte" a few weeks ago and I'm like seriously? If there ever was a word associated with Chris Jericho that would be it. These guys have to start thinking of their own stuff and some times I see some of them and I'm like oh come on. It's not like it's influenced. At least give credit where credit is due."

Steve Austin's Thoughts On Sting Vs. Hogan "Stone Cold" Steve Austin sat down for an interview for The Sun. In it, he talks about the Hogan vs Sting match that takes place at Bound For Glory:
Quote
Ill be honest, I hadnt heard about Hogan v Sting. That will be interesting too, I mean Hogan had back surgery didnt he? They are both great guys. Im a fan of Stings and he can still go with the best of them. I know Hogan well and he still has it when he needs it. It will be a very interesting night at the office that one and I will most certainly be watching Bound For Glory to see how it works out.
I get annoyed when people say that such and such should retire, or they shouldnt compete due to injury or age. I know how it works and many of these guys find it hard to stay out of the ring. Hogan, for example, was put on this world to be there. There may often be money involved when guys step back in the ring, but its more about their need to be there than the financial rewards. The other thing is that there are so few people coming up through the ranks who can match the success of guys like Hulk, Flair, Sting or myself. Cena may be the only one who has reached that level Ive yet to see another hit that peak yet.
According to F4WOnline.com, WWE has had discussions of Booker T coming back to wrestle in a short program on SmackDown against an undisclosed opponent.
Booker T has competed in one match since assuming the SmackDown color commentator position in February. On the June 6 episode of Raw, Booker wrestled his first singles match for the organization in four years, gaining a victory over Jack Swagger via count out.

World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry def. Christian in a Lumberjack Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Christian clearly bit off more than he could chew when he found himself in the first ever SmackDown World Title Lumberjack Match against the newly-crowned World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry. Even the lumberjacks found themselves outmatched against the champion, despite having a numbers advantage.
When the sea of Superstars surrounding the ring swarmed the champion, he easily pushed them away. To finally assert his dominance, he hoisted the hapless Trent Barreta high overhead and tossed him onto the dazed lumberjacks.
When Henry reentered the ring, Christian chose not to follow. But Sheamus was more than happy to help the match carry on by tossing Christian back to The Worlds Strongest Man, who dispatched of him with the Worlds Strongest Slam.
Then still seething after losing the World Title Randy Orton charged to the ring to stare down the reigning champion. As the two sized each other up, The Viper struck first. With Henry still reeling, Orton forced him out of the ring with a well-targeted dropkick. Showing no signs of fear, Orton stared down Henry who remained outside the ring. What will happen when the two are locked inside unforgiving steel at Hell in a Cell? (PREVIEW)
WWE Tag Team Champions Evan Bourne & Kofi Kingston def. The Usos (WATCH | PHOTOS) Packing a potent offense, WWE Tag Team Champions Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston looked good against the equally impressive Usos. However, Kingstons Trouble in Paradise followed up by Bournes Shooting Star Press proved too much to overcome.

Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes def. Randy Orton by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS) The voices in Randy Ortons head must have been telling him to do really, really bad things on this night. After being disqualified for smashing Cody Rhodes in the face with his protective mask, The Viper unleashed hell on Rhodes. First The Viper punched, RKOd, then tossed Rhodes to the arena floor. Next, Orton bashed his former Legacy ally in the skull with the timekeepers bell. But Orton wasnt done yet. To put the finishing touches on Rhodes, the former World Champion brutally RKOd him onto the announce table.
Beth Phoenix & Natalya def. A.J. & Kaitlyn (WATCH | PHOTOS) After losing to Divas Champion Kelly Kelly & Eve on Raw, Beth Phoenix and Natalya rebounded strong in a match against A.J. and Kaitlyn. To close the deal, Phoenix smashed A.J. to the canvas with a bone-rattling Glam Slam.

Sheamus def. Heath Slater (WATCH | PHOTOS) Outmatched and overpowered, Heath Slater didnt stand much of a chance against Sheamus. When The Celtic Warrior was ready to end things, he put the punctuation mark on the bout by blasting Slater in the face with a vicious Brogue Kick for the win.
WWE COO Triple H announced a Lumberjack World Heavyweight Championship Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) The night kicked off with WWE's Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis addressing the WWE Universe about whether WWE COO Triple H is in control. Next, Laurinaitis introduced Mark Henry as the new World Heavyweight Champion. After Henry told the WWE Universe that he plans to hold onto his World Title for a long time, Triple H entered the ring.
But before the COO could speak, Christian interrupted him and yet again claimed he deserved one more World Title Match. After assuring the WWE Universe that he is indeed in control, Triple H obliged Christian by putting him in a Lumberjack Match against Henry for the World Title. The winner would defend against Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell.
