Angle Says He Will Work For Free Posted by Steve Carrier on 12/29/2011 at 11:15 AM
- In a new interview with TimesUnion.com, TNA star Kurt angle talked about his TNA schedule and quest for the Olympics. Angle says he hasn't toned down his style in the ring but has toned down the danger level as he trains for the Olympics. Angle says he will fulfill his commitment to TNA one way or the other:
"If I dont hit a certain number of (appearances), Ill make it up the next year. And if I dont hit enough that year, Ill work the fourth year for free. Theyve been very good to me and Im very loyal to them. They want me to go for it. Theyre not giving me this time off to sit on my ass."
As we are faced with adversity and struggles in life, we can either continue our downward spiral, or learn from our mistakes. I start my journey on my second chance at life very enthusiastically.
The Georgia Dome hosts a historic Monday Nitro with just under 40,000 fans packed into the huge arena. The 6th of July 1998. Hollywood Hogan on the mic, Dean Malenko vs. Booker T(c) - TV Title, Chris Kanyon vs. Raven - Raven's Rules, Diamond Dallas Page and Karl Malone on the mic, Scott Putski vs. Riggs, Chris Jericho vs. Ultimo Dragon, Johnny Swinger vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr., Disco Inferno and Alex Wright vs. Public Enemy, Buff Bagwell on the mic, Scott Hall vs. Goldberg(c) - US Title, Psychosis vs. Juventud Guerrera, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan vs. The Giant, Jim Niedhart vs. Diamond Dallas Page, Sting and Lex Luger vs. Kidman and Sick Boy, Goldberg vs. Hollywood Hogan(c) - World Heavyweight Championship.
The Twitter page for former WCW/nWo and current AAA star Konnan says he is now working with WWE again, but wouldnt say more. Konnan also said he was backstage at WWEs Survivor Series pay-per-view but that was never reported.
If this is legit, Konnan working with WWE again would be very interesting considering how he has spoken out against the company in the past, not to mention that Konnan is currently working with TNA through the deal with AAA in Mexico.
The Konnan Twitter account was confirmed earlier this year by booking agency Wrestling Marx but has not been confirmed by any of Konnans peers yet.
WWE Officials Discuss Cole's Commentary Posted by Steve Carrier on 12/28/2011 at 04:53 PM
WWE officials held a meeting last week after the RAW ratings came in where Michael Cole's commentary was discussed.
TV ratings patterns show fans have little interest in seeing anyone on TV besides the top Superstars. Consideration was given to maybe that's because of Cole burying the talents for the past year.
-- As Vickie Guerrero alluded to on Twitter this morning, WWE is set to debut a new stage at tonight's live event. WWE champion CM Punk has posted (an admittedly crappy) preview picture of the set. Punk just tweeted:
"A horrible sneak peek picture of the new house show...er...LIVE EVENT set. Looks much better in person. http://pic.twitter.com/XZ87l1Rv"
New Stage for the RAW Brand Posted by Steve Carrier on 12/28/2011 at 12:48 PM
- Apparently WWE is fixing to debut a new stage setup for the RAW brand. Vickie Guerrero, who is headed with the RAW crew to tonight's live event in Pittsburgh, wrote the following on Twitter this morning:
"Flying to Pittsburgh!!! I can't wait to see the new stage setup tonight. See all of you there"
We can report that the Randy Orton injury was a pre-existing injury. Orton has been protected in recent outings, since about December 19th, so that he would not have to do too much physically on TV.
Orton could miss up to six months of in-ring time, causing him to miss WrestleMania 28. An official update from WWE should be available soon.
At this point, the plan looks to be to move one of the RAW matches to the SmackDown tour to help fortify the lineups starting tonight.
The following is from our SmackDown **SPOILER** report: Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett in a falls count anywhere match is next. Orton threw Barrett in the crowd and the referee gets knocked out. they fight to the backstage area and brawl like they did last week. Backstage an elevator door opens and they fight in an elevator where there's an elevator cam set up. Later, Barrett threw Orton off a set of stairs. The show ends with Orton in extreme pain after being pushed down the stairs. The crowd is not happy as they were not sure if the match was over or not.

WWE Raw SuperShow results: Kane rises to hate By: Ryan Murphy December 26, 2011 Tags: WWE Raw SuperShow: December 26, 2011
CHICAGO WWE Champion CM Punks Second City homecoming was marred by the underhanded actions of Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis and Dolph Ziggler, while the diabolical Kane finally shed some fire on his recent attacks on John Cena.
Kane explained why he attacked John Cena (WATCH | PHOTOS) After two brutal assaults on John Cena, The Big Red Monster finally revealed why he targeted the Cenation leader. The monsters reason? Hate.
Standing behind a wall of fire, Kane made it clear that hes disgusted by Cenas Rise Above Hate T-shirt slogan, because humans are hateful by nature. The twisted demon then said hes going to help the powerful Superstar understand this by leading WWE fans in a chant of Cena sucks! Cena sucks! Some members of the WWE Universe followed Kane, others didn't, but the outcry seemed to shake the confident competitor.
Dolph Ziggler def. WWE Champion CM Punk in a Title-Free Gauntlet Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Still sucking air after his first Gauntlet Match, Punk rallied against the talented, but arrogant Dolph Ziggler. That was until Mr. Laurinaitis stuck his nose in. Distracting The Straight Edge Superstar by making a mid-match announcement, the Interim Raw General Manager allowed Ziggler to steal one and earn a WWE Title opportunity against the champion next Monday night. The showoff was so pumped about his victory, he snatched Punks title and taunted a disgusted Chicago crowd.
WWE Champion CM Punk def. Jack Swagger in a Gauntlet Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Forced by Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis to face Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler and Mark Henry in a Gauntlet Match, WWE Champion CM Punk knew he had to dispatch of his first opponent early. It wasn't easy getting by the former World Heavyweight Champion, but even with the shrill Vickie Guerrero attempting to sway the bout for her client, The Straight Edge Superstar put Swagger to bed with a devastating roundhouse kick.
Alberto Del Rio vowed to be more ruthless (PHOTOS) For once, The Mexican Aristocrat looked humbled. Rolled out in a wheelchair by Ricardo Rodriguez, Alberto Del Rio revealed that he suffered a torn groin in the previous Mondays main event, which will cause him to miss some ring time. (FULL STORY) When WWE fans cheered his misfortune, Nikki and Brie Bella came to their crushs defense, but only ended up bickering between themselves. Irritated, Del Rio sent the twins away and vowed to return more vicious than ever in 2012.
Big Show def. David Otunga by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS) With one arm tied behind his back, Big Show squared off with the litigious David Otunga, but quickly learned hed been set up. Sabotaged by the vicious Mark Henry, the giant was nearly brutalized until World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan hit the ring and distracted The Worlds Strongest Man. Henry managed to escape before Show could destroy him, but Otunga wasnt so lucky. The Worlds Largest Athlete hit him with a chokeslam so huge, the lawyer may have forgotten where he went to college.
John Cena def. The Miz by Count-out; R-Truth returned (WATCH | PHOTOS) Outraged over Kanes recent attacks, John Cena demanded The Big Red Monster face him in the ring live in Chicago. Instead, he got The Awesome One. Looking to end 2011 on a high note, The Miz challenged the man he beat at WrestleMania XXVII and ended up getting tossed around by a very focused Cena.
Frustrated, Miz rolled out of the squared circle and talked trash until he got counted out. But before he could escape without any more damage, he was stopped by R-Truth. Returning after being put in the hospital by The Awesome One, Truth recklessly battered his former friend around the ringside area and then warned, This New Years, acquaintances be forgot? No! Theyre going to get got!
U.S. Champion Zack Ryder & Eve def. Tyson Kidd & Natalya (WATCH | PHOTOS) Now that Zack Ryder has the United States Championship, hes set his sunglasses on a greater prize Eve. Teaming with the gorgeous Diva after spoiling her with Broski merchandise for Christmas, Long Island Iced-Z proved that he can work very well with the former Divas Champion. Eve definitely enjoyed their success over Tyson Kidd & Natalya, but she doesnt seem ready to accept Ryders offer for a date.
Booker T def. Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes in a Title-Free Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Aw, shucky ducky. Three days after his distraction caused Cody Rhodes to fall to Zack Ryder on SmackDown, Booker T beat his vicious rival in the ring with the scissors kick. The six-time World Champion proved that not only does he have Codys number, but hes still got it in the ring.
Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis set a Gauntlet Match for WWE Champion CM Punk (PHOTOS) The Chicago crowd hoping to give their hometown hero a rousing ovation was disappointed when Raw kicked off with Interim General Manager John Laurinaitis mocking CM Punk's signature entrance. With the WWE Champion's T-shirt pulled over his suit jacket, the executive proceeded to give himself credit for the exciting changes in sports-entertainment.
That was all it took to bring out a livid Second City Savior. Explaining that Raws revolution is due to Punk being the best wrestler in the world, the WWE Champion looked ready to hit the EVP with a GTS. Thats when Laurinaitis announced his idea for the evening Punk will face three opponents in a Gauntlet Match and if any of those competitors beat the champion, they will receive a WWE Title Match next week on the first Raw of the New Year!
The Straight Edge Superstar was game, but he wanted to up the ante. If the tattooed Superstar beat all three Superstars, he proposed that he get a fourth match with none other than John Laurinaitis himself.
Former WWE star Chavo Guerrero is expected to join TNA Wrestling in the near future after appearing for Ring Ka King this past week, their India based promotion. As noted earlier, he tweeted the following regarding the tapings on Wednesday: In India right now, and had an INCREDIBLE wrestling experience last night! Never have seen anything like this in 18 yrs of wrestling!! Great crew in India, inside the ring &out. Really making me LOVE wrestling again!
Alongside Harry Smith, Guerrero captured the promotions tag team championship at the tapings.
