- Here is the full statement from the Top Rope Wrestling promoters
regarding Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman's tweets from the weekend:
"There
was no "scam," and such an allegation, in a legal sense, is defamatory. Mr. Nash
was paid $4,000 for his appearance, by check, mailed to him on Monday, April 8,
funds cleared by the bank on Friday, April 12. Mr. Waltman was paid $1,200, in
cash, the night of the show. He did not have to complain to get his payment. In
fact, neither Nash nor Waltman complained to anybody in Top Rope management
about pay the night of the show. They both checked in to the hotel that we had
booked for them after the show, and we only became aware of their complaints
regarding pay when we saw the tweets from the two this morning.
Both had
travel and accommodations paid for by the promotion as well, as is standard.
There was no agreement in place with talent to disburse any of those revenues to
talent. For Mr. Nash and Mr. Waltman to suggest otherwise is untrue, and we feel
is clearly intended to do harm to the reputation of Top Rope Pro Wrestling, not
only in the sense of the allegations regarding pay and the "scam" comment, but
also in the adjectives used by Mr. Nash calling one of our staffers a "scumbag"
and "hick," and as such constitutes actionable defamation on the part of Mr.
Nash and Mr. Waltman.
Similar arrangements regarding the VIP Meet and
Greet were in place with Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson and Mick Foley. Jake
"The Snake" Roberts also did a VIP Meet and Greet, and we agreed with him ahead
of time to give him half of the proceeds of that meet and greet to go toward his
medical bills. Jake was paid $1,000 from the VIP ticket sales per our agreement.
It is telling that Mr. Waltman has taken down eight of the nine tweets
related to the show, including the most inflammatory ones, about not getting
paid and about "scams." Perhaps he was given legal advice as to what constitutes
slander and defamation and came to the realization that he had crossed the line
and exposed himself to legal action.
We are considering all options to
correct for the slanderous and defamatory statements made by Mr. Nash and Mr.
Waltman and the damage to our reputation that has been done with these
materially false messages being sent out to their hundreds of thousands of
followers on Twitter and the additional coverage that has been given to their
messages on various wrestling news websites.
We will also be in contact
with the state commission that regulates pro wrestling in Virginia regarding the
wrestling licenses of Mr. Nash and Mr. Waltman. It is our hope that we can
prevent other promoters in Virginia, at the least, from being exposed to this
kind of malicious treatment from these two performers in the future."
It
appears they resolved the problems as Kevin Nash tweeted the following:
"Top Rope Productions was not at fault .Marvin Ward working for the
promotion lied and withheld payment due to me."
Top Rope followed up
with this:
"Kevin Nash has corrected the record regarding Top Rope
Promotions on Twitter (@realkevinnash) with respect to payment issues at Night
of the Superstars. We have been in contact with Kevin by email to thank him for
clearing up what we both agreed was a misunderstanding.
"We look forward
to being able to putting our focus on building upon what was a very successful
house show at Night of the Superstars last night."
- Kevin Nash tweeted the following about an independent wrestling promoter in
Virginia:
"Head's up to anyone that doesn't want to work with a scumbag
promoter. Pass on Marvin Ward and Top Rope Productions out of Virginia. Dirtbag.
This scumbag has several names Marvin, Doug keep an eye out.It is @TheRealXPac
and my mission that this hick never runs another show. Will be going to the
Virginia wresting commission on Monday to file against both him and the
promotion."
CM Punk underwent MRI's and x-rays on his knees earlier this week. Word going
around is that he is pretty banged up but will not need surgery, which was a
concern after his WrestleMania 29 match.

- Playboy.com recently spoke with former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis about the rumors of her returning to WWE. She said:
"Ive been away from it for three years. I really had the opportunity to experience a lot of different things, and when I was on the road full-time with WWE I didnt necessarily have that experience and the time to go and try things. So now that Ive gone out and tried everything, itd be great if I could return. I love my job at Ring of Honor, and being the First Lady is awesome. I think that Im going to continue working with them. As much as I would love to go back to WWE, they contacted me in January and asked me to come back and then a month later they said the storyline fell through. So it didnt end up working out this time, but maybe in a year from now it will."
Maria also talked about posing for Playboy again:
"I wanna do it again! I loved it. It was a great experience. I always said when I did it the first time that it was like coming out as a woman and really saying Im not a little girl anymore. Now Im a full-grown woman. It was just such a creative experience, too, because I made the hoodie that I wore in the photo shoot and picked a lot of the fashion out as well as the design, so I would love to do it again. If there was ever a chance, now would be the perfect time!"
On a related note, Maria recently spoke with RingBellesOnline.com about recently apologizing to Kelly Kelly for problems in their past on Twitter:
"As you get older you start looking at things... you kinda leave all the stupidity of past angers behind. It's about making peace with everything that I've ever had a problem with in the past and I think that Barbie's extremely talented; I think that she's a fan favorite and I just don't want any negativity in my life anymore. I want to apologize for any time there was an argument.

Gail attempts to whip Terrell into the corner but Terrell reverses it and charge at Gail. Gail floats up and over Terrell into a rollup! Gail hooks the trunks but ODB catches her and stops counting. Terrell kicks Gail into the turnbuckles and then rolls her up! 1 2 3!
Winner: Terrell via pinfall (rollup)
Gail argues with ODB after the match but ODB tells her to kiss her ass. ODB chases Gail to the back as they argue and Terrell continues to celebrate. Christy Hemme interviews her on the ramp and Terrell says she has waited a long time to get physical with Gail but now the question is who wants to get physical with her and then she slaps Christy on the ass. Well that was interesting.
Magno & Pearce are shown backstage.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Last week the Gut Check judges discuss Magno & Pearces match. Snow mentions the botches from Magno and Bruce talks about Pearce being 17 years in the business and he says he appreciates Pearce doing whatever it takes to win. Davis says Pearce was technically sound and Snow liked the aggressiveness. Prichard says this one is as difficult as their last Gut Check but in a different way. Back live the judges talk to Magno & Pearce. Prichard says they have had a lot of tough decisions in Gut Check but they cant remember a more hyped up Gut Check Match than this one. Prichard says only one can go to the judge to face the Gut Check. Prichard says Magno has his entire career ahead of him and Pearce as a 17 year veteran can be viewed as a negative or a positive. They eliminate Pearce from the Gut Check and Prichard offers a handshake. Pearce hesitates before accepting it and then calls him a damn fool as he walks away. Pearce did not look happy whatsoever.
The history of the AJ Styles drama is shown.
Backstage Hulk Hogan says there is a lot of pressure tonight and he says that he cant express just how important the World Title match is tonight, but before that even happens he has to take care of the AJ Styles issue.
In the parking lot earlier AJ Styles is shown arriving. AJ shoves the camera away and then Mr. Anderson approaches him with an Aces & Eights vest again. Anderson says they made him a serious offer last week and gives him the jacket again as AJ looks down at it.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
A video package hyping up Hardy-Ray is shown.
Hulk Hogans music hits and he comes out to a big ovation. The fans surrounding the ramp actually bow down to Hogan as he walks down it. Hogan says you can say that Impact is on fire in Corpus Christi and thats why hes out here to get down to business. Hogan says there are a lot of things going on tonight but the man he needs to talk to is AJ Styles. He says AJ needs to get out to the ring and let him know whats going on.
AJ Styles comes down to the ring as Taz says its time for AJ to come to the dark side. AJ is carrying the Aces & Eights jacket. Taz says that it would be awesome if AJ put the Aces & Eights cut on right in front of Hulk Hogan. Hogan says TNA is the middle of a crazy war and he needs to know who is friend or foe. He asks AJ which side is on and this is an ultimatum. AJ snatches the microphone away from him and says he needs to tell Hogan something brother. He says he doesnt respond well to ultimatums but before he can say anything else James Storms entrance music hits.
Storm comes out and says hes not out there to give him an ultimatum or even to hear what side hes on. Storm says hes out there because he and AJ are going to fight but then Bad Influences music breaks up the party. AJ looks like hes about to commit a serial murder spree as Bad Influence get in the ring. Kazarian calls Storm Toby Keith and tells him to step aside. Kaz says theyve come out to mend the fence with AJ and because they see through all the poop going on right now. He says that theyre both sexual and intellectual so they see through this game thats being played. He says that Thunder Lips is going to try and get AJ to join his team because Aces & Eights have all but disbanded his roster. Kaz says it is a good mood and then tells Hogan good job brother, brother but Aces & Eights are also in the midst of the war so its obvious why they would try to recruit the guy that was TNAs most loyal soldier for the past 11 years.
Daniels says AJ needs to listen to reason and the choice that Hogan wants him to make is lose-lose. He says no matter which side he choices that side will chew him up and spit him out no matter what. He says that he and Kazarian have a much better proposition for AJ and they want AJ on their side. He says that he knows AJ thinks the whole Claire Lynch thing was bad but it was worse when Dixie Carter and Hulk Hogan stopped believing and trusting him, and when the hypocrite fans turned their backs on him. He tells AJ not to stand with strangers but stand with his brothers. Daniels reminds AJ of the Tag Titles he and AJ have won together and suggests how great it would be if he, Kazarian, & AJ stood together against the world. Storm gets in AJs face and starts screaming at him and the fans chant for Hogan. AJ doesnt say anything else and just walks away. AJ stops on the ramp and looks at Bad Influence but also walks away from them. Hogan tells AJ to stop and says since he wont make a decision then Hogan will, and AJ will face Storm next week on Impact!
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Backstage Kurt Angle says the feud between TNA & Aces has just begun, and the balance of power switches back when Jeff Hardy regains the World Title. Kurt says next week hes going to do his part because he went to Hogan and asks for a Handicap Match against the two punks he took under his wing: Garett & Wes. He says next week he will show everyone why hes the baddest SOB in wrestling.
Highlights from the Knockouts Match last week with Joey Ryan as referee are shown.
Joey Ryan vs. Rob Terry
Terry has new entrance music and a new entrance video and has dropped the Jersey Shore sweater. Ryan bounces off the ropes and tries a shoulder block but gets laid out. Terry this another shoulder block and then tosses Ryan across the ring with a Hip Toss. Terry lays into Ryan with some vicious chops and then he whips him hard into the corner. Terry hits a Scoop Slam and then destroys him with a clothesline in the corner. Terry lifts Ryan up and drops him with a big Powerslam. Terry lifts Ryan up on his shoulders and swings him around into the Freakbuster for the pin.
Winner: Terry via pinfall (Freakbuster)
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Hulk Hogan talks to Brooke Hogan about wanting her to watch the Main Event in a sweet rather than at ringside, but she says she has to look in his eyes when Jeff takes the title away. She says shes bringing security with her. Brooke walks away and then Matt Morgan walks up to Hogan and says Hulk should have listened to him a long time ago by naming HIM the #1 Contender instead of Bully. Morgan says Hogan just couldnt resist and he did what he does best and thats make a mistake. Morgan says one day all those mistakes are going to come crashing down on him and then Morgan flinches at him before laughing and walking away.
JB introduces the judges for Gut Check and then Magno. Prichard gets overwhelmingly booed when hes introduced and Magno also gets booed when he comes to the ring. Danny Davis grabs the microphone as a huge no chant starts. Thats not a good sign because Magno is from Texas. Davis says he has to agree with the fans and his answer is NO. Magno gets a chance to plead his case and he says something to the crowd in Spanish. He says he has a lot of goals in life and because of this business hes been all around the world, but thats not enough for him. He says the people know him now as Magno from El Paso, TX (cheap pop) but he wants the whole world to know him as Magno, the luchador from Impact Wrestling.
Another No chant starts and Prichard says the reason Magno is out here is because he has his entire career ahead of him. Prichard says that Magno has all the physical attributes as well as a marketable look, but his inexperience in the ring could cost him as much as Pearces vast experience could cost him. Prichard says he doesnt know who Magno is and he needs more seasoning. Prichard answer is NO as well so that means hes eliminated as well. Well that was a big, fat, whopping waste of dumbass time.
In the parking lot Aces & Eights are getting Bully Ray fired up for the Main Event. Anderson reminds Bully that when you ride with the Aces & Eights, you never walk alone. Ray says he NEEDS to walk alone tonight and he needs to beat Hardy on his own so he can shove it up Hardy & Hogans asses. He makes Aces promise him that they will let him do it on their own. Ray says hes not doing this for himself but hes doing it for the group. Ray takes of his wedding ring and tells Anderson to hold it for him.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Main Event TNA World Heavyweight Championship Full Metal Mayhem Match Charismatic Enigma Jeff Hardy vs. Bully Ray (c)
There are tables, ladders, and chairs scattered everyone around the ring, on the ramp, etc. as the two make their way to the ring. This is a rematch from their Cage Match at Lockdown and they revolutionized the Ladder Match with the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Matches in the early part of the 2000s with the Dudleyz, Hardyz, & Edge/Christian. Bully Ray has a few choice words for Brooke at ringside before the match. Hardy kicks Ray and immediately nails him with a Twist of Fate as Ray turned around! Hardy jumps on Ray in the corner and explodes on him with right hands, and then whips him hard into the opposite side corner. Hardy blasts Ray with a chair repeatedly and then drags a ladder into the ring. Hardy sets up the ladder in the ring and tosses Ray headfirst into it! Hardy then dives off the ladder with Poetry In Motion sandwiching Ray between himself and the ladder! Ray then falls forward right into the chair and the ladder falls down on top of him. Hardy sets the ladder up in the center of the ring and climbs all the way to the top but Ray actually tips the ladder over. Hardy lands on his feet and then catches Ray with a Leaping Mule Kick! Hardy charges at Ray but Ray lifts Hardy up WAY up into the air with an INSANE back drop over the top onto the ramp. That absolutely looked VICIOUS as Hardy crashed onto the ramp. Good lord that was a sick bump. Ray hits Hardy with a chain repeatedly and then sets the ladder back up. Ray climbs the ladder but Hardy is able to crawl back into the ring and then climbs the ladder with Bully. They exchange punches at the top of the ladder but Ray pokes Hardy in the eyes! Ray then Superplexes Hardy off the top of the ladder! Hardys legs actually hit the ropes on the way down as well so that probably made the fall that much worse.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
My cable went out (its storming right now) shortly right before the break so I dont know if I missed anything directly after the big spot off the ladder because it was in the middle of commercials when it came back on (it was only maybe 2 minutes). Back from the break Ray has Hardy laid out on a table and is up on the top. Hardy rolls off the table and blasts Ray with a chair! Hardy moves the table a bit and is limping very noticeably. Hardy sets a ladder up upside down near the corner and then climbs up top with Ray. Hardy tries to Superplex Ray into the ladder but Ray blocks it and knocks Hardy off the top. Ray dives off the top but Hardy kicks him in midair. Hardy sets up for another Suplex into the ladder but it falls over, and then Ray blocks the suplex and slams Hardy down to the mat. Ray sets the ladder back up and screams THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO ME?! and Front Suplexes Hardy into the damn ladder in a disgusting spot! Good God Hardys knees and stomach came right down across the hinges that spread the ladder out. Ray tries to set the mangled ladder back up but thats not going to happen and instead tosses it out of the ring. Ray hits Hardy with a chair and then sets the table up again. The fans chant for Hardy so Ray taunts them and then goes back to beating on Hardy. Ray grabs another ladder off the ramp and sets it up in the corner. Ray says hes going to put Jeff through a table, grab the belt, and then slap Brooke in the face. Ray picks Hardy but Hardy explodes with a series of rights and then a Flying Forearm off the ropes! Hardy hits an Atomic Drop and then he trips Ray and Leg Drops him in the nuts followed by a Basement Dropkick! Hardy tosses a chair to Ray and when he catches it Hardy blasts the chair into his face with another chair! Ray goes crashing to the outside and then Hardy dives off the apron but Ray moves out of the way and Hardy slams into the guardrail! Brooke screams at Jeff to get up while Ray tells her to sit her ass down and Brooke flips him off. Hardy tries to fight back but Bully slams him into the steps and then gets back in Brookes face. It looks like Bully is busted open above the eye. Bully mockingly tries to kiss Brooke so she slaps him and then Hardy comes back and slams him into the steps repeatedly! Hardy tries to lay Bully out on a table but it gives way so Hardy improvises and Leg Drops Ray on the outside. Hardy goes to find another table up on the stage. Hardy clotheslines Ray and then walks right into a right hand from Ray. Ray grabs Hardy but eats a kick and then the Twist of Fate! Ray falls back onto the table and then Hardy climbs to the top rope and dives off with an insane Swanton Bomb! I think Mike Tenay just had a brain aneurism as Hardy dove off the top. He lost his damn mind and the fans chant holy sh*t. It wasnt quite like the Swanton Hardy used to do off the huge 20 foot ladders but it was pretty damn high. Hardy rolls back into the ring and sets the ladder up in the center of the ring. Hardy climbs up the ladder as Taz hands Bully a hammer! Ray climbs up the other side of the ladder and exchanges right hands with Hardy. Bully pulls the hammer out and hits Hardy with it knocking him off the ladder and crashing through a table! Ray reaches up and pulls the belt down to retain!
Winner & STILL World Champ: Ray via pulling the title down
Tenay bitches about Taz getting involved as the rest of Aces & Eights runs out and celebrates with Bully. Ray screams for the music to shut off and does his do you know who I am? thing. He says when you ride with Aces & Eights, you never walk alone and holds the title up in the air. Aces & Eights pose together in the ring over the prone body of Jeff Hardy as the show closes.

- Fandango's theme song continues to dominated on the iTunes
charts following Monday's Raw episode. The song is at #8 on the iTunes U.S. top
10 soundtrack songs chart, and #3 on the U.K. top 10 soundtrack songs chart.
The Sun published
an article about the rowdy crowd on Raw this past Monday night, and how British
fans helped create the "incredible atmosphere." The article noted that
Fandango's theme was rising on the U.K. charts, which is at #14 now.
Rock Comments on Injury Posted by Steve Carrier on 04/10/2013 at 02:33 PM
- The Rock has been thanking fans for their support on Twitter. The Rock
also tweeted this pic regarding the muscles being completely torn off his
pelvis, and noted in the caption that he will be undergoing rehab immediately
instead of having surgery:
"My "Hmm.. I think I just tore
tendons off my pelvis" face. Love you guys for all your support!!"
Randy Orton threw what was
described as a temper tantrum backstage at WWE RAW regarding the crowd
reactions from his bout with Sheamus on this weeks show. You could also clearly
see by his facial expressions during the match that he wasn't happy. Hes also
not happy about Ryback and Dolph Ziggler getting roles as prominent heels and is
still pushing for a heel turn. The original plans called for him to turn on
either The Big Show or Sheamus at WrestleMania 29 but that obviously didn't
happen.
It was a bad night for Orton as he also forgot his lines during
a promo wih Sheamus as we reported earlier. You can view a video of that below:
While WWE attributes his newfound popularity
to the unusually rowdy crowd on Monday Night RAW, word going around is that
management wants to test out Fandango with the main event wrestlers to see if
the audience will accept him there. They already had him against Chris Jericho
at WrestleMania 29. More testing could take place in the following weeks.
"Dr.'s diagnosis: my kneecap
popped out & popped back in. Significant swelling & fluid in the joint.
MRI shows no tears or serious damage," Sky tweeted. "Thanks to all my
#PigeonArmy peeps for ur well wishes. I'm a toughie and am healing well. Love u
guys."
