In an interview with the Between the Ropes radio show last night, WWE developmental wrestler DH Smith admitted he'd like to be part of Randy Orton's Legacy faction.
"There's a lot of talk about a lot of things," Smith said. "It's one of those things where you can't exactly believe everything you read on the internet... I think I'd be a perfect fit. I'm big, I'm strong, I've got the ability. I'm working at getting the personality. I've been getting a lot more confident and a lot more mean in the ring. Whether I'm with the Legacy or not, I can prove on any brand that I can carry my own legacy."
Smith also offered his comments on the New Hart Foundation not materializing in WWE.
"Nothing really happened," Smith said. "There was a slot for Tyson Kidd to go on ECW. He's a great wrestler. He's one of my great friends. He's gone up there. It wasn't one of those things that I decided... He's doing good. I hope he does really well with Natalya. Maybe I'll join him someday in ECW, who knows?"
Smith also commented on growing up as the son of "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith, being stretched by Stu Hart, his training, his weekly schedule in Florida Championship, and more.
Steve Austin has joined the cast of Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables. Austin joins a cast that already includes Mickey Rourke as well as Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Forest Whitaker and Charisma Carpenter. The film is about a team of mercenaries who attempt to overthrow a South American dictator.

Early in the match knowing the huge threat that The Great Khali posed the ring full of Superstars worked together by piling their bodies against each other and pushing the Punjabi Giant up and out of the ring. And in a stunning betrayal, Cryme Tymes JTG eliminated his own partner, Shad.
In the end, though, it came down to a battle between Christian and Chavo Guerrero to determine who would be going to the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. With both Superstars entangled in the ropes engaged in a struggle for victory it was Captain Charisma who prevailed, sending Guerrero to the arena floor. Christian now has an opportunity on the Grandest Stage of Them All in Houston, TX. (WrestleMania Money in the Bank Ladder Match preview)
Tyson Kidd def. DJ Gabriel (WATCH | (PHOTOS) Going undefeated in WWE is a tall order. However, Tyson Kidd kept his record intact with a well-targeted springboard elbow to DJ Gabriel from the top ropes. The win brings Kidds record to 4-0.
WWE Tag Team Champion Primo def. World Tag Team Champion The Miz (Non-title) (PHOTOS) The dislike between WWE Tag Team Champion Primo and World Tag Team Champion The Miz was evident from the sound of the opening bell. The disdain was made even clearer as WWE Tag Team Champion Carlito and World Tag Team Champion John Morrison joined the ECW announce team to trade verbal barbs while helping call the match.
But, it was Primos Backstabber that abruptly stopped all the talking. The Mizs loss was made even more bitter as Primo & Carlito sauntered away from the ring with the beautiful Bella Twins on their arms. This Friday on SmackDown, Miz & Morrison will have a chance at revenge. But, if WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito and Primo can pull off a win, they become Undisputed Tag Team Champions.

The stuff with Danny Bonaduce began last week, when Bonaduce had Kurt Angle on his radio show. Bonaduce and Angle were discussing the Lockdown PPV, and then Bonaduce challenged anyone from the Hulk Hogan Celebrity Wrestling show to face him at the Lockdown PPV. Bonaduce really wanted to face Dennis Rodman and claimed he would put up $10,000 of his own money to do so.
Kurt Angle then suggested if no one took up Bonaduce's challenge that he would find him a TNA star to wrestle on the show.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. With just a few weeks to go before the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, Raw was the site of some huge news regarding The Grandest Stage of Them All. In addition to Kofi Kingston earning a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, John Cena also found himself becoming a participant in a Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship. But while Raw was in Florida, the most shocking event of the night took place in St. Louis, where Randy Orton watched the program from his home. His viewing experience was interrupted however, when The Legend Killers WrestleMania opponent, WWE Champion Triple H, busted into the Orton household and attacked the 2009 Royal Rumble winner.
Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase def. WWE Champion Triple H in a Handicap Match via forfeit; The Game invades Randy Orton's home (PHOTOS | WATCH) As announced earlier in the night, Ortons Legacy, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase prepared to team up against WWE Champion Triple H in Raws main event. But when The Games music played, the WWE Champion was nowhere to be seen. Rhodes & DiBiase demanded that they be declared the victors, since their opponent was a no-show. The two multi-generational Superstars received their wish, but their victory was interrupted by Randy Orton, making his voice heard from his home in St. Louis.
The 2009 Royal Rumble winner was furious that Triple H would fail to show up for a match, and worried that he could no-show his WrestleMania title defense, preventing Orton from winning the championship. As he ranted, the doorbell began to ring, with increasing urgency. Eventually, a furious Triple H smashed his way through the door. The Game chased Orton through the house, terrifying his wife and father along the way, before throwing his WrestleMania opponent through a window. As the fight spilled over into the front yard, police officers arrived and took the WWE Champion away in handcuffs.
Rey Mysterio, Finlay & Christian def. Kane & World Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison (PHOTOS) A little less than a week after World Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison faced off against Finlay & Christian as part of a Six-Man Tag Team Match on ECW, they met once again on Raw. The Belfast Brawler and Captain Charisma were joined by Rey Mysterio as their opponents teamed up with Kane for another Six-Man Tag Team Match. Although he was at a size disadvantage, the Ultimate Underdog was able to prevail, pinning Morrison for the win.

Ware announced as part of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2009 (WATCH) After losing a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match as a result of Ric Flairs involvement, Chris Jericho was irate. The nefarious Superstar challenged the WWE Hall of Famer to come out of retirement and face him in a match the following week on Raw, where he promised to end the Ric Flair story.
Following Jerichos tirade, another member of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2009 was announced: Koko B. Ware.
Kofi Kingston def. Chris Jericho in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match, due to the involvement of Ric Flair (PHOTOS | WATCH) On Raw, Kofi Kingston and Chris Jericho faced off with a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at stake. Both Superstars were eager to do whatever it took to earn the right to perform on The Grandest Stage of Them All, as winning the Money in the Bank Match results in a World Title Match at any time of the challengers choosing. During the contest, Hall of Famer Ric Flair made his way out to the entrance ramp and distracted Jericho, taking revenge for the nefarious Superstars recent spate of insults and attacks perpetuated on numerous WWE Legends. The "Nature Boys" involvement was just the opening Kingston needed, as he pinned Jericho to earn his spot at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania.
John Cena was added to the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania World Heavyweight Championship Match; Big Show was revealed to be carrying on an affair with Vickie Guerrero (PHOTOS | WATCH) SmackDowns World Heavyweight Champion Edge and Big Show appeared on Raw with the General Manager of both shows, Vickie Guerrero for their World Heavyweight Title Match Contract Signing. Both Superstars put aside their enmity to sign the paperwork, shake hands and agree to make history at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. But their moment was interrupted by John Cena, who just a few days earlier on SmackDown, had whispered something in Guerreros ear, capable of stopping Edges wife in her tracks. At the former World Heavyweight Champions urging, Vickie announced that the contest would become a Triple Threat Match in order to include Cena.
When both The Rated-R Superstar and The Worlds Largest Athlete appeared utterly shocked at the development, Cena offered them an explanation against the General Managers wishes. He claimed that he had confessed his love for Vickie Guerrero, prompting her to give him a World Heavyweight Title opportunity as a way of expressing her own amorous feelings toward him. Edge was infuriated by Cena making moves on his wife, and told Vickie to tear up the contract. Cena then revealed the truth: He didnt have feelings for Vickie, but he knew someone else who did. Showing the footage he presumably used to pressure the General Manager, Cena revealed that Big Show and Vickie had been carrying on a relationship behind her husbands back.
Divas Champion Maryse def. Womens Champion Melina (non-title match) (PHOTOS | WATCH) As a result of their altercation on Raw last week, Divas Champion Maryse came to Raw to face off against Womens Champion Melina. But Maryse wasnt traveling alone, as she brought a group of SmackDown Divas with her, including Maria, the Bella Twins, Eve and Michelle McCool. In spite of the presence of a group of Raw Divas including Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes, Layla and Jillian, the Divas Champion managed to pin Melina for the win. Following the match, all of the Divas took to the ring, where they squared off before assaulting one another with little regard to their home brand.
After the match, Raw's interim General Manager, Vickie Guerrero, announced that there would be a 25-Diva Battle Royal at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, featuring Divas from Raw, SmackDown, ECW and WWE History.
Randy Orton was interviewed in his home; WWE Champion Triple H will face Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase in a Handicap Match later in the night Three nights earlier, Randy Orton and his Legacy appeared on SmackDown, where they brutally attacked WWE Champion Triple H. But while Ortons WrestleMania opponent was scheduled to face Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase in a Handicap Match as Raws main event, The Legend Killer rested comfortably in his St. Louis home. In his interview with Michael Cole, Orton claimed that his attack on Triple H showed restraint, despite the fact that it violated his own stipulation banning physical contact between himself and the champion. The viper-like Superstar went on to state his plan to continuously chip away at The Game until they face one another for the WWE Title at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania.
JBL def. CM Punk to become the new Intercontinental Champion (PHOTOS | WATCH) As announced prior to the match, JBL had been petitioning Vickie Guerrero in recent weeks for an Intercontinental Title opportunity. On Raw, the shows interim General Manager finally gave in, and placed the Longhorn Loudmouth in a match against Intercontinental Champion CM Punk. In spite of The Straightedge Superstars impressive technical ability, he wasnt able to compete against the unscrupulous tactics of JBL, who raked Punks eyes and hit him with a clothesline to win the title, which could very well play into his promise on his WWE Universe blog to do something historic at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania.
Undertaker appeared on Raw to confront Shawn Michaels (PHOTOS | WATCH) Raw opened with Shawn Michaels taking to the ring, trumpeting his intention of beating Undertaker at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, breaking The Phenoms historic 16-0 winning streak. But Mr. WrestleMania was interrupted by a bone-chilling gong, heralding the arrival of Undertaker himself. The Deadman pointed out that while HBK has an impressive history at WrestleMania, he has known defeat at The Biggest Spectacle of Them All, while Undertaker has not. Michaels was unflappable though, again proclaiming that hell walk away victorious before leaving the ring. Pay-Per-View Schedules

World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Smackdown Superstar Kizarny as of today, March 19, 2009. WWE wishes Kizarny the best in all future endeavors.
As we reported over the weekend, John Bradshaw Layfield wrote in his WWE Universe blog that hes bought into Ohio Valley Wrestling, the former WWE developmental territory that trained the likes of John Cena, Randy Orton, Batista and Brock Lesnar. JBL is looking into OVW as a potential project for when he retires from the ring in the next few years.
Theres talk that JBL is looking into promoting Mixed Martial Arts events in the Louisville area as well and with the announcement today of OVW launching the Vyper Fight League MMA promotion, it looks like JBL might be involved. With the fledgling territory now financially stabalized, the door remains open for WWE to work with OVW again in a developmental capacity in the future.
While this has yet to be announced by World Wrestling Entertainment, the company released SmackDown wrestler Ryan Braddock sometime within the last few days. He had been employed to WWE for just over three years.
Sans a few appearances on SmackDown last year, Braddock spent the majority of his tenure in the company in developmental.
Braddock, who wrestled previously on the independent circuit as Jay Bradley, signed a developmental contract with WWE in December 2005. Shortly thereafter, he debuted in Deep South Wrestling as "The Monster of the Midway" Bradley Jay. During his time in DSW, he won the Deep South Heavyweight Championship on three occasions. When WWE ended their relationship with Deep South Wrestling, he was sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling to continue his development.
On May 16, 2007, he debuted in Ohio Valley Wrestling under the name Jay Bradley, defeating former OVW Heavyweight Champion, Chet the Jett. He defeated Paul Burchill and Idol Stevens in a three-way match to win the OVW Heavyweight Championship on June 1, 2007 at OVW's first Summer Sizzler Series event at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville to become the first man to hold both the OVW and DSW heavyweight titles. On June 15, 2007, at Ohio Valley Wrestling's third Super Summer Sizzler Series event of the year at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, he defeated Idol Stevens to retain the OVW title. He would lose the title to Paul Burchill on June 27, 2007.
Meanwhile, he also wrestled dark matches for both the Raw and SmackDown brands in hopes of getting called up to the main roster. Occasionally, he made appearances on Heat as well.
Braddock would get his call-up to the main roster in August 2008, but only did enhancement work and wasn't given any semblance of a push. Although, he did actually garner a win on television.
On the September 19, 2008 edition of SmackDown, Braddock competed in a one fall match-up with Festus, who was accompanied by Jesse. Braddock won the match as a result of a disqualification, after Jesse and Festus wrapped him in bubble wrap and duct tape. This was the unspoken "moving to MyNetworkTV" storyline during the final days of Smackdown on The CW. Unfortunately for Braddock, this was his final television appearance in WWE.
Following his disappearance, Braddock returned to Florida Championship Wrestling to work on his persona. He cut his hair, grew sideburns, got a makeover and introduced some sort of "Elvis" gimmick. He worked a few WWE live events under the persona, but it failed to click with the audience and was soon dropped.
Most recently, Braddock had been working a gimmick in Florida Championship Wrestling where he would sit at ringside and enter notes on wrestlers into his laptop during their matches.
WWE appears to be in the midst of another cost-cutting initiative. Braddock is the eight name to depart from the organization within the past three weeks, following Scotty Goldman, Manu, Freddie Prinze, Jr. (creative team writer), John Carle (creative team writer), Afa Anoa'i, Sr. (on company payroll), The Boogeyman, and developmental wrestler Kaleb O'Neal.
Johnny Prime And Joe Curtis defeats Trent Baretta and Cavlen Croft Alex Riley defeats Tristan Delta Drew Mcintyre defeats Mike Hutter Johnny Curtis and Tyler Recks defeats Ryback and Sheamus O'Shaunessy (curtis and recks still tag team champions)
Yet another former Diva contacted for Wrestlemania
We can confirm that WWE officials have contacted two-time WWE Womens Champion and brief WWE Hardcore Champion Nora Molly Holly Greenwald about wrestling at the 25 Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXV. However, it is unknown at this time whether Greenwald has accepted the offer or not.
Sans a quick match against Jonny Fairplay at an indy show in October 2006 (the match consisted of Greenwald giving him a low-blow and pinning him), Greenwald has not wrestled since her departure from World Wrestling Entertainment nearly four years ago. During this time frame, shes made several appearances as a special guest referee, but still has yet to actually wrestle again.
