TNA Wrestler Judas Mesias Addresses TNA Rumors
Former TNA Wrestler and Current AAA
competitor Judas Mesias confirmed lingering rumors that he may be heading back
to TNA in some capacity. The following is a translation of what he wrote on his
official twitter
page:
"For those that ask
about TNA, Yes there are plans to return but AAA is obviously my home.

Results from the Genesis Pay-Per-View
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Joey Ryan and Chavo face off in the ring to start this Tag Team championship match. Hernandez and Chavo immediately clicked from the beginning breaking down Joey Ryan with an offensive to wear down the sleazy star. Joey Ryan made attempts at an offensive, however the team work of Chavo and Hernandez allowed them to maintain. Joey Ryan was finally able to tag in Morgan, which allowed for them to bring things back in their direction. Joey Ryan brought himself back into the match this time with the advantage. Ryan and Morgan kept Hernandez in their corner to wear him down making numerous tags to keep a fresh man in. After a counter by Hernandez he was able to drag himself back to Chavo, but was unable to make a tag and there was some confusion about who the legal man was. The challengers remained in control for several minutes until Hernandez made a tag to Chavo who unleashed a flurry of offenses including a Guerrero family tribute by landing 3 amigos. Morgan attempted to bring things back in their favor but was unable and after Hernandez laid out Joey Ryan, Chavo landed a frog splash and proceeded to get the pin for the win to retain the Tag Team titles.
Mr. Anderson vs. Samoa Joe Joe seems to have a gripe against Mr. Anderson as he started the match with a high amount of intensity after a somewhat short back and forth argument in the ring. Joe rocked Mr. Anderson for the first few minutes but Anderson was able to strike back at Joe but despite this still saw an onslaught of blows from Joe. Anderson went outside the ring to regroup, however Joe wants answers so he followed him to get them. Outside the ring the advantage went back and forth between Joe and Anderson before it going back into the ring. Things seemed to be on more of an even keel in the ring. Anderson slowly began to dominate and take advantage of Joes injured knee. Unfortunately for Anderson he wasted a bit too much time and after going outside the ring Joe was able to land a suicide Dive onto him and bring himself back into the game. Joe who is obviously in pain pulled out a couple near pin falls but Anderson kicked out and went back to work on the knee but not for long as Joe was able to fight back. After a distraction by a member of Aces and 8s, Anderson was able to land a mic check and get the pin for the win.
FINALS OF THE X TOURNAMENT Both men started with a series of holds to wear down the other followed by a series of offenses but neither seemed to come out with an obvious upper hand. York made a couple of attempts at a pin fall to no avail. After bringing things outside of the ring York had control of the match. He maintained dominance up until King was able to reverse York and begin a series of assaults that wore down York. After a high risk move by York things seemed to be in the bag but King kicked out to keep things going. The back and forth in this important match kept going with both competitors putting it all on the line but in the end York reversed a move by Kenny King and was able to get the pin for the win. However, King wasnt happy with this and did one more thing to try and take out York incapacitating him for the start of the title match he was about to be in.
X-Division Championship Christian York, The winner of the previous match must now face Rob Van Dam for the X Division Title with no time for recovery. Going straight into things RVD made it clear that he did not need to continue since he was still obviously injured from Kings unsportsmanlike actions. Yorks pride was too much and things got underway. York, who was obviously still worn out from his previous match, continued to be worn out by a fresh Van Dam. RVD made many attempts to put away York but he remained resilient. York did manage to get a few pin attempts in but RVD kicked out each time. After a 5 star frog splash Van Dam got the pin in for the win.
Devon vs. Joseph Park Joseph Park makes his debut after attending Wrestling School at the developmental territory for IMPACT WRESTLING, Ohio Valley Wrestling, against Devon of Aces and 8s. Park seemed slightly more confident going into this matchup and the crowd was absolutely behind him despite the cards being stacked against him. Devon started out with smack talk to tear down Joseph but the crowd pulled his confidence back around. The two locked up to kick things off, Devon seemed to not take the match seriously with numerous signs of disrespect. After locking up for the 3rd time Devon managed to outwrestle Park and embarrass him. Devon made Joseph get down into collegiate style wrestling however things backfired for Devon. Devon started to take things seriously, however, Park is in much better ring shape than expected so things were interesting at least for a couple minutes. Devon took things outside the ring and tore down Park and brought things back into the ring taking off one of the turnbuckles possibly for later use. When Devon attempts to use the exposed turnbuckle Park put the breaks on it. Joseph had an impressive showing that led to him jumping off the top rope and a near pinfall on Devon. Everything changed when Park saw blood and he snapped into something reminiscent of his brother. Joeseph Park snapped out of it before connecting with a choke slam and due to this Devon was able to jump in and steal the victory from the confused Joseph Park.
Knockouts Gauntlet Match for the #1 Contender: The match started out with Gail Kim and Miss Tessmacher facing off in the ring in rather heated fashion. Tessmacher was able to pull off a few near pinfalls but after Eat Defeat, Miss Tessmacher was eliminated and ODB came in as the next contestant to the match. Gail Kim ran to ODB but was taken out while still on the ramp. Gail Kim was dominated by ODB and her different style. ODBs first attempt to eliminate Gail Kim was unsuccessful so she went back to work on her. Gail Kim was able to pull back around and after pulling ODBs tights was able to get the pin and the next contestant, Mickie James, came to the ring. Gail seemed to pull out a bit more of an offensive this round despite her facing her third fresh competitor. Mickie pulled together an offensive and just as Mickie was at the peak, Gail Kim left the ring but it was not enough to stop Mickie James. After Mickie made an attempt to get a pin she reversed into a roll up to pin Mickie and the next competitor is Velvet Sky. Gail, still outside of the ring, snuck up on Velvet and smashed her into the steps giving herself a chance to regroup. Upon Velvet reentering the ring Gail makes three unsuccessful pin attempts that is answered by an unsuccessful attempt by Velvet. Gail tries yet again to pin Velvet using the ropes for leverage, however this was noticed by referee Taryn Terrell and she put a stop to the count. A distracted Gail Kim was taken out by an In Yo Face from Velvet Sky and she picked up the win with a pin that was questionable as Gail Kims foot broke the plane outside the ring.
Fight for World Title Match on Jan 24th episode of IMPACT WRESTLING Both men had an impressive showing for the first part of the match. Storms plan as stated by Tenay was to outwrestle Daniels, which he effectively was able to do. After a distraction by Kazarian at ringside, Daniels was able to knock him out of the ring and allow for Kazarian to beat down on Storm and throw him back in the ring without the referee even knowing. This tactic allowed for Daniels to have full control of the match for quite a bit of time. Daniels used many submission moves possibly due to Storms ability to land the last call super kick from a distance that is usually required in high risk moves. Storm was able to gain the favor of the match up to a high elbow off the top rope that led to a near pin fall. Even after an Eye of the Storm, Daniels managed to kick out. Storm nearly connected with the Last Call Super Kick but he missed and Daniels landed an Angels Wings, but was unable to get the pin. Storm, before attempting the last call super kick on Daniels, was distracted by Kazarian and he implemented the Kick on Kazarian instead. This backfired as Daniels managed to come in and get the pin on Storm for the win despite his feet on the rope, which went unnoticed by the referee.
Bully and Brooke came out to the IMPACT Zone to talk about their wedding that will be happening on IMPACT WRESTLING this coming week.
D.O.C. from Aces & Eights vs. "The Icon" Sting Sting, hell bent on revenge, started things off before he even made it to the ring and continued to beat down on DOC throughout the IMPACT Zone before other members of the Aces and 8s killed Stings Momentum to allow for DOC to be in control. Upon entering the ring referee Earl Hebner reluctantly started the match. DOC immediately went to work on the Stinger who brought it outside the ring tearing down on the Icon. After implementing a Scorpion Deathdrop along with a series of offensive moves he overcame the odds to pull out a victory on the Aces and 8s member. Following the victory members of the Aces and 8s came out but were stopped from taking out Sting by Bully Ray.
World Heavyweight Championship: In this elimination style match, Both Aries and Roode made it apparent before the match that they would work together to take out Hardy, which immediately put the champ at a disadvantage going into the match. This was made apparent at the start of the match as both men went to work on Hardy but he put up a good fight against them. Hardy worked back and forth from one competitor to the other with the hope to isolate one so as to not be in a 2 on 1 situation. Roode worked sometime to eliminate Hardy while Aries stayed outside of the ring resting up but Roodes attempts were unsuccessful. A short time later after Roode was taken out of the ring Aries took to the ring to work on Hardy but was also not successful, however upon Roode reentering the ring both were able to get to work on the champ in a 2 on 1 scenario. Hardy eventually held his own but the situation seemed to get too much for the champ. Roode held onto Hardy so Aries could land a suicide dive, however he was able to get out of the way in time for Roode to take the brunt of the suicide dive. Following this the momentum was in the favor of Hardy but again the number handicap continued to haunt Hardy. Hardys resilience was obvious after kicking out of a spine buster by Aries. Following this Roode attempted to double cross Aries and trick him into getting pinned but was unsuccessful. This was enough to break the collusion the two had up until this point and this lead to the two going against each other. Roode was taken out with a pin by Aries with Hardy assisting in the pin fall elimination. Now with things down to one on one with Aries and Hardy, Hardy was able to take out Aries with a Swonton Bomb and get the pin for the win to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

WWE Star Out of Action for Possibly A Year Posted by Steve Carrier on 01/10/2013 at 06:18 PM
Tyson Kidd is expected to be out of action for 10-12 months according to a report by PWInsider.com.
Details are still slim on exactly when injury had occurred, but Kidd suffered a fractured knee and a torn ACL over the holiday house show loop.
Kidd's team with Justin Gabriel had regularly been one of the best parts of WWE's secondary TV programming like Superstars, so this is a real blow to those shows.
***SPOILER*Backstage News on Why Del Rio Won the World Title Posted by Steve Carrier on
01/10/2013 at 03:21 PM
- Alberto Del Rio won the World Heavyweight Title
from Big Show this week because they want to shoot Del Rio up as the new Latin
babyface Superstar since Rey Mysterio isn't around and Sin Cara has been
categorized as a disappointment. Cara was actually ready to work this week and
was not used.
The idea is that they will push Del Rio harder than
Mysterio and Cara with the hopes of making a genuine Mexican draw out of him.
This was actually the original idea when WWE signed Del Rio a few years ago.
The Last Man Standing stipulation was added to the match on SmackDown so
Del Rio could survive tons of punishment before coming back to win the title.
There is talk that Del Rio's title win was originally planned for
Monday's RAW but he wasn't there due to personal reasons so they moved it to
Tuesday at the SmackDown tapings.
- Sheamus recently commented on Big E Langston on Twitter in regards to him backing down at WWE Main Event, writing, "Everyone keeps askin' me did Big E Langston back down on #WWEMainEvent last night? He did. Like a Big Girl-E."
After the breaking news from earlier in the day, TNA Impact Wrestling came on the air with a renewed sense of establishment. TNA is changing their strategy to better compete in the sports entertainment world. Tonight's program is the last show before TNA's first pay per view of the year Genesis. here are the results from the show.
Sting cuts a promo
TNA Impact Wrestling starts with a 10 minute promo and the antics of Aces and Eights. This promo involved Sting, Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe. At some point, Mr. Kennedy makes his way to the ring and the TNA guys ask where his allegiance lies. Mr. Kennedy talks about being left in the dust months ago, and this leads to a face off between Angle and Mr. Kennedy. The promo ended with Kurt Angle decking Mr. Anderson and he hightails back to the locker room. The commentators suggest that this was an "explosive way" to start the show. On the other hand, it seemed to be more of the same old stuff. How many times do fans have to be subjected to Angle versus Anderson? Seems like it has happened a lot over the last few years.
Zema Ion loses to Kenny King
The X-Division Tournament to name a number one contender kicked off the first match of Impact Wrestling. The two trade fast counters and suicide dives. There were some bright spots by both, but if this division is suppose to bring the excitement that the WCW Cruiserweights did, they've got a long way to go. The action didn't slow down at any point, and it just seemed like two guys with no personalities trying to get their moves on television. However, the right guy won. Kenny King could be a name to watch in the future.
Robbie T and Miss Tessmacher beat Tara and Jessie
Robbie T used this intergender tag team match as a vehicle to get his power and persona over. The quick bout actually served him very well, limiting his wrestling ability. Or rather, the lack there of. The match went very quick and smooth and was surprisingly entertaining. Jessie is big himself, but looked like a dwarf when compared to Robbie T.
Jay Bradley pins Brian Cage
Gut Check contestants Jay Bradley and Brian Cage start their bout with a clean break. The crowd seems hot for the two prospects, though the Impact Zone crowd is often very loud. Cage hit a nice diving elbow drop after a second rope suplex. Jay Bradley ends up scoring the pin with a lariat clothesline. The match itself was decent, given the allotted time. Both men seem to be equal in talent and would probably be great additions to TNA Impact.
Joseph Parks comes to the ring and asks Hulk Hogan to come down to the ring so he can address his progress with him. Joseph Parks has been training at Ohio Valley Wrestling camp. Hulk looks very tired tonight. Parks asks for a match and Hogan finally relents. After Joseph Parks leaves the ring, Brooke Hogan announces that she is coming to the ring to handle some personal business with her dad. Oh boy. Brooke Hogan does the fake crying bit and asks the mighty Hulkster to bring Bully Ray back to TNA. Hogan says "no" and storms out. It was a very awful segment.
Jeff Hardy and James Storm defeated Austin Aries and Bobby Roode by DQ
Two of TNA's best wrestlers, Austin Aries and Bobby Roode, make their entrance for their match. Tonight they battle James Storm and champion Jeff Hardy. Storm and Hardy start the match off hot, with the babyface team hitting some double team moves on the heels. Aries and Roode argue on the outside in a manner that is reminiscent of Kane and Daniel Bryan. Aries and Roode eventually get on the same page and start putting heat on Jeff Hardy. It seems as if Aries and Roode are playing a game of outdoing the other. Not sure if this is intentional or not, but its a good minor story to the bout. Kazarian and Daniels make their presence known and take out James Storm. Eventually they get Hardy and cause a disqualification. Great match with a very poor finish.
Kurt Angle and Mr. Anderson goes to a no contest
Before the match even began, Angle was attacked by Aces and Eights with a hammer, resulting in Angle being stretchered to the back. In a funny moment, if only for the oddness of it, Sting's music hits while Angle is being stretchered and walks right by his injured friend as he comes to the ring. Weird. Sting challenges Mike Knox.
Sting pins Knox
The newest revealed member of Aces and Eights, the former Mike Knox, was easily defeated by the icon Sting. Before Sting could enact revenge on Knox, Aces and Eights comes to the ring with Brooke Hogan and tells Sting that if he ever wants to see Brooke in one piece, he'll let Knox go. A very weird segment considering Brooke is wrapped up in the Bully Ray and dad saga. And now, the suspended Bully Ray makes an appearance and chases off all members of Aces and Eights. Just as we go to commercial, Hulk Hogan walks to the ring. The match was standard fare, with Sting hitting his Stinger Splash and Scorpion Death Drop.
Hulk Hogan Saga Continues
The show ends with Bully Ray and Sting try to convince Hogan that he is making decisions based on personal issues surrounding his daughter. Bully is great on the stick. Bully Ray then proclaims his love for Brooke. This segment is playing out like a cheesy 80s movie. Bully Ray asks Brooke to marry him next week on TNA Impact.
