The Main Event Mafia minus Booker T comes out and pulls them apart. Angle grabs a mic and says it's now a war and it's personal. Angle says that he and Sting will fight next week, one-on-one, with no fans in an empty arena.
- They say that Brett DiBiase, who works in WWEs developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling, is the spitting image of his brother Ted, who is on the RAW roster. That could work against Brett in the long run unless the plan is to eventually have them work together as a brother tag team.
- Apparently WWE has interest in one-half of the TNA Tag Team Champions, Robert Roode. Roodes current deal with TNA expires in either March or April of this year, according to Dave Meltzer.
It looks like third generation talent and former WWE developmental Diva Lacey Von Eric will be posing for Playboy Magazine. Lacey logged into her official MySpace on 2/4/2009 and posted a message that read: Playboy next Thurs. at 12:15! Wish me luck! Im scared !!
Assuming next Thursday meant this coming Thursday, it sounds like Lacey is either going to meet with officials from the magazine or going to do her shoot. Lacey was signed to a WWE developmental deal back in August of 2007 and worked a few dates with Florida Championship Wrestling, even losing her debut match to Natalya Neidhart. Lacey was released from her WWE developmental deal in late 2007. Since then she has concentrated on modeling and worked a few independent dates here and there.
Lacey has mentioned wanting to pose for Playboy in media interviews from the past and was even rumored to be Miss November 2007 but that never worked out. If we hear anything else on this, it will be passed on.
During tonight's edition of ECW on Sci Fi, General Manager Theodore Long blew off a discussion with Jamie Noble to talk to a wrestler by the name of Tyson -- who was accompanied by SmackDown Diva Natalya. They discussed his background of training in the Stu Hart's legendary "Dungeon." Tyson then directed a one-liner towards Noble, saying he would send the "big dog" back to the pound.
Following the commercial break, Tyson, under the name Tyson Kidd, beat the one and only Bao Nguyen in his ECW debut. Kidd hit a spinning kick and then followed it up with a springboard flying elbow before pinning Nguyen. Following the bout, Noble walked onto the stage and clapped.
Kidd is longtime Hart family friend T.J. Wilson. Wilson signed a contract with World wrestling Entertainment in November 2006 and had been in developmental ever since. Wilson has a wealth of wrestling experience as he has been grappling since 1995 when he was only fifteen years old.
For the past few months, there had been talk of bringing Wilson and longtime friend DH Smith up to the main roster as The New Hart Foundation with Natalya as their manager. As recently as December, officials had given thought to placing them on SmackDown to feud with WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito and Primo Colon, but they went with the already established The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson instead. Shortly there after, Smith and Wilson lost the FCW Florida Tag Team Championships and then broken up.
The team broke up after Smith went to the creative team on his own and requested to be brought on board for the Legacy. Officials had plans to add him to group, but those plans cooled off after the sudden twist on Raw a few weeks ago involving Randy Orton and Vince McMahon. Now Smith is back in a state of limbo and it is unknown as to when officials will finally call him up to main roster.
With Wilson on ECW, Natalya has been transferred from the SmackDown roster to manage him. Natalya is close to Wilson as the WWE Diva has been dating him since November 2001 and the two have lived together for approximately six years.
In recent months, Natalya had done little of note on SmackDown and was being left off television more often than not. Her strong initial push in the company came to an end last July at the hands of Michelle McCool in a match to determine the first WWE Divas Champion at the Great American Bash pay-per-view. Soon after, officials started having her put over less experienced Divas on the roster such as The Bella Twins and backstage announcer Eve Torres.
In a case of turnabout is fair play, Smith appeared to be headed for a major role in the company, leaving his close friends behind to fend for themselves. Now Wilson and Natalya have stable roles in the company whereas Smith has been left to fend for himself in developmental.

-- If you recall, a blonde women's wrestler by the name of Madison Rayne wrestled Awesome Kong on Impact a few weeks ago. TNA has signed her to a contract, so she will be a regular going forward. Rayne wrestled at both Impact tapings this past week. Rayne also wrestles under the name Ashley Lane on the indy circuit. Her real name is Ashley Simmons and she's been wrestling since 2004.
-- TNA officials have confirmed that Stevie Richards is joining the company. Richards is said to be close with Terry Taylor, the company's Director of Talent Relations.
Cryme Tyme member Shad Gaspard is said to be the on bubble, which could affect JTG's standing in the company if the company doesn't want to push him as a singles wrestler. Gaspard was originally slated to participate in the Royal Rumble match a few weeks ago, but officials pulled him as a message to improve.
John Laurinaitis, WWE's Senior Vice President of Talent Relations, recently had a face-to-face meeting with Gaspard specifically telling him the company was unhappy with his lack of progress. Gaspard has been training at the Florida Championship Wrestling school in between road trips.
Gaspard has always been slow when it comes to picking things up. While he's actually improved greatly, it is because he started out so slowly that he's now only below average. This is one of the reasons why he is never used in singles matches and his ring time is generally kept short in tag matches with JTG doing most of the work. Had it not been for the Cryme Tyme gimmick, it is unknown if Gaspard would have been called up to the main roster in the first place.
At tonight's TNA Impact taping in Orlando, Petey Williams lost a "loser leaves town" match. We can confirm that this will be Williams' last match for the company as he is being released for real.
We have also confirmed that Lance Hoyt/Rock is also done with TNA.
More TNA releases are expected, but have not yet been confirmed.[/
Drew Mcintyre defeats Kris Logan DJ Gabriel W/ Alicia Fox, Kizarny and Ricky Ortiz defeats Lawrence Knight, Kaleb O'Neil and Tyson Tarver W/ Byron Saxton Angela defeats The Girl From Mexico Joe Henning defeats Ryan Braddock FCW champion Eric Escobar defeats DH Smith for the FCW championship
T.J Wilson debuted on ECW under the name Tyson Kidd, managed by Natalya. There had been talk of Natalya switching brands over the past few weeks and that turned out to be the case. This is also a big shot at DH Smith as he had gone and asked Vince personally to be a part of the 'Legacy' angle. This upset both T.J and Natalya and in the end they both were called up to the main roster faster than DH Smith was. That's actually quite funny in several backstage ways.

OAKLAND, Ca. When Raw steamrolled into the Golden State with just six days left until No Way Out, precarious fault lines both old and new were exposed and earth-shattering events registered a 6.9 on the Oh-My-God-Did-You-Just-See-That! scale.
Undertaker vs. Randy Orton (no contest); Shane goes Coast-to-Coast on Rhodes Undertakers presence at Monday Night Raw was meant as a rebuke for Randy Ortons insolent behavior toward Stephanie and Shane McMahon the week before.

Unfortunately for Undertaker, Ortons Legacy henchmen, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, had other ideas. The two interfered in the proceedings, which triggered involvement by Shane.

Mark Henry def. Shawn Michaels by disqualification; JBL antagonizes HBK Shawn Michaels frustration appears ready to boil over.

After the match, The Showstoppers No Way Out opponent reminded him that the two will battle in an All or Nothing match.

Ric Flair returns to WWE; Flair punches Chris Jericho in face For everyone packed inside Oaklands Oracle Center, the return of 16-time World Champion and WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was undoubtedly a memorable thrill. Well, for almost everyone.
Flair returned to Raw to confront Chris Jericho after the cocky Superstar disparaged a host of WWE Legends the previous week. Not only did Jericho interrupt the Nature Boy as he addressed the crowd, Jericho told Flair that he missed the point of his friend Mickey Rourkes movie The Wrestler, that Flair was an embarrassment for not staying away from wrestling after his retirement.
The Nature Boy, as one might imagine, had heard enough. His annoyance manifested itself in the form of a well-thrown fist to Jerichos face. For his part, Jericho immediately slid from the ring and nursed his jaw, glaring at the Hall of Famer as he walked away.
The legendary Von Erich family has been confirmed to be inducted into this year's WWE Hall of Fame. Other names confirmed for induction this year include "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, "Cowboy" Bill Watts, and Terry & Dory Funk, Jr.
