Did JBL not leave WWE on good terms? Posted by Randy Gordon on 04/13/2009 at 02:05 PM
Mike Mooneyham notes in his latest wrestling column for The Post and Courier that John Bradshaw Layfield didn't leave World Wrestling Entertainment on the best of terms.
Mooneyham wrote: "Word, however, has surfaced that JBL didn't leave the company on the best of terms. His wife, financial guru Meredith Whitney, also didn't attend what appears to have been Layfield's last match."
Former WWE Women's Champion Victoria has updated her Myspace blog with the following post:
"I ran into a couple former WWE employees there. Dan Stevenson, who was a behind the scenes guy, is now with TNA. He introduced me to Dixie Carter and her husband. I don't know if she's supposed to have a tough businesswoman image. But I'm gonna shatter that. She was supernice. It's always weird to me when a tidbit of my personal life becomes wrestling gossip, because someone saw Dixie and I talking, and now 'I may be going to TNA'. I'd be lying if I said it never crossed my mind, but they haven't come to me with anything, and I am really focused on my MMA."
Big Show def. Kofi Kingston The Great Khali def. Santino Marella Gail Kim def. Michelle McCool Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase def. Unified WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo (Non-title) Matt Hardy def. Jeff Hardy (Stretcher Match)
AUSTIN, Texas In the explosive wake of the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, Theodore Long returned to Friday nights to once again take his place as the General Manager of SmackDown. And his first decision was a bit of a stretch.
Matt Hardy def. Jeff Hardy (Stretcher Match) Fresh off his Extreme Rules victory over his brother at WrestleMania (recap), Matt Hardy looked to erase Jeff from WWE. He demanded that Jeff come to the ring and apologize to him and the WWE Universe for being an extreme disappointment, or he would end up leaving the ring on a stretcher. After Jeff emerged to chase Matt from the squared-circle, the returning Teddy Long made Matts choice of words into a reality. For the first time ever on SmackDown, Jeff and Matt would face each other in a Stretcher Match. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
In the culmination of the Hardys' excruciating Stretcher Match, Matt moved out of the way at the last second, causing Jeff to Swanton Bomb himself down onto an empty, unforgiving stretcher frame outside the ring. After Matt finished him off with a painful chair shot, he claimed victory by pushing his fallen brother up the ramp. Once his arms were raised in unsettling triumph, Matt sent Jeff hurling back down the ramp, causing the stretcher to smash into the ring below. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
The Cutting Edge with special guest World Heavyweight Champion John Cena (WATCH | PHOTOS) With John Cena seated before him and their Last Man Standing Match for the World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash looming (Backlash preview) Edge told the World Champion that he had stolen his title and that he completely hates Cena. Cena informed The Rated-R Superstar that what he really hates is the truth; that no matter how many times Edge has knocked him down throughout their epic rivalry, he has kept coming at him and always will. The Champ then offered to give The Ultimate Opportunist a free shot to prove his point, but Edge wouldnt take it. Instead, he simply backed up and walked away.
Big Show def. Kofi Kingston ( PHOTOS) After coming up short in his WrestleMania bid to win the World Heavyweight Championship (recap), Big Show took out his frustration and anger by delivering the knockout punch in mid-air to Kofi Kingston. Though Kingston gave a tremendously valiant effort in his attempt to overcome The Worlds Largest Athlete, in the end, he would suffer a giant disappointment.
The Great Khali def. Santino Marella (WATCH | PHOTOS) Due to recent events surrounding Santinos emerging sister Santina, Santino arrived on SmackDown to issue an open challenge and show any Friday night Superstar who wished to face him that Santina wasnt the only Marella sibling to be afraid of. The Great Khali answered the call. When Ranjin Singh explained that Khali would not hurt Santino if Santina would be his guest on Khali's Kiss Cam, Santino declined, insulting The Punjabi Playboy profusely in the process. So, the bell was rung and Santino ended up taking the painful Punjabi Plunge.
Gail Kim def. Michelle McCool (WATCH | PHOTOS) Gail Kim reversed Michelle McCool's pin attempt to win a hard-fought victory over the former Divas Champion. After Gail missed a dropkick off the top rope, Michelle looked to have things going her way. But as she went for the cover, Gails quick thinking and quicker action prevailed.
Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase def. Unified WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo (Non-title) (PHOTOS) DiBiase's distraction of Carlito allowed Cody Rhodes to hit the devastating Cross Rhodes on the Southpaw from San Juan. After the match, Rhodes & DiBiase continued to attack the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions, when Randy Orton emerged to survey the damage. The Legend Killer then gave a frightening account of what will happen when Legacy meets WWE Champion Triple H, Shane McMahon and the returning Batista at Backlash with the gold at stake.

Update on Smackdowns announce team - As of before Wrestlemania, there had been no decision made on Tazzs replacement for the Smackdown announce team. One of the options is to pair Jerry Lawler or Matt Striker with Ross until a long-term plan is created. JBL is also another candidate if WWE decides to end his character as rumored. We should find something out his Tuesday night at the tapings.
TNA iMPACT! Results For 4/9-16 The following took place on Tuesday in Orlando, FL.
TNA Impact Tapings for April 9/April 16:
- The Motor City Machineguns defeated No Limit to retain the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Titles.
- Samoa Joe defeated Booker T in a Lethal Lockdown advantage match. After the match, Joe grabbed a kendo stick and went after Booker and Kurt Angle (who was at ringside trying to interfere and was stopped by AJ Styles).
- Hernandez defeated Kiyoshi.
- TNA World Tag Team Champion James Storm defeated Scott Steiner via DQ after Steiner hit Storm with a steel pipe. Steiner took out Beer Money until Team 3D ran down to make the save. 3D gave Beer Money their tag titles and had a staredown.
- Awesome Kong, Taylor Wilde & Raisha Saeed defeated The Beautiful People & Madison Rayne. The Beautiful People got a hold of Kong and cut off some of her braids.
- Homicide defeated Chris Sabin & Tetsuya Naito in a triple threat match.
- AJ Styles came out to the ring and called out Jeff Jarrett. Styles said he was tired of the rumors backstage and wanted answers. Jarrett said Styles will be sorry for calling him out when he finds out who the fourth teammate is for Lockdown, calling him a former TNA champion. Main Event Mafia came out and said Kurt Angle said Kevin Nash wasn't cleared to wrestle the final Lethal Lockdown advantage match tonight against Team Jarrett's fourth member. Jarrett says Angle can wrestle in his place instead.
- Team 3D is shown backstage with Lauren when Brother Runt appeared. He was in town for a show and wanted to stop by and wish them luck with the match in Philadelphia. Balls Mahoney shows up and does the same.
- Abyss & Daffney (no longer The Governor) defeated Cody Deaner & ODB in a mixed tag match. After the match, Matt Morgan took out Abyss and said they would meet up at Lockdown.
- Mick Foley comes out to the ring ready for an interview. Two chairs were set up in the ring and Foley said the person he was interviewing comes from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico - it is Cactus Jack. Foley goes back and forth between Foley and Cactus Jack during the interview talking about how Cactus will show up at Lockdown to finish what he started with Sting back in the day. Sting walks out and tries to talk sense into Foley. Foley goes crazy and takes out Sting since he has the power to do whatever he wants. He calls for random theme songs to be played to prove this and ends it with Sting's theme standing over Sting with his barbed wire bat held high.
- Backstage, Brother Runt and Balls Mahoney are shown leaving the building and are attacked by Beer Money. They brawl to the ring where Beer Money destroys them. Robert Roode took out Runt with a powerbomb through a table. Team 3D hit the ring and Brother Ray gets on the mic. He said the match in Philly was just supposed to be a good wrestling match between two good teams for dominance, but now it got personal. He said the match at Lockdown will now be a Philadelphia Street Fight.
- Kurt Angle is out for the Lethal Lockdown advantage match replacing Kevin Nash. Jeff Jarrett walks out and gets on the mic saying he is tired of the rumors and is putting them to rest tonight. He has done what is best for TNA and what is best for the fans. Jarrett introduces the fourth member of Team Jarrett and Angle's opponent tonight..."The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. Daniels got a big reaction from the crowd.
- Kurt Angle defeated Christopher Daniels after the original decision was reversed by Jeff Jarrett. Daniels initially rolled up Angle, but Angle argued with the referee that his shoulder was up. The match was restarted after Angle made Jarrett look at the replay and it clearly showed his shoulder was up. He declares Angle the winner, even though he wasn't happy about it. Angle celebrates with the Mafia in the ring until Samoa Joe's music hits. Joe, Jarrett, Styles and Daniels clear the ring of the Mafia to close the show.
Andrew "Test" Martin's cause of death was finally revealed to be an accidental overdose, reports the UK Sun. The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner ruled the death as a result of Oxycodone intoxication. Oxycodone is the very addictive ingredient found in numerous painkillers, including the popular OxyContin.
Andrew Martin was found dead by his apartment neighbor n March 14th, 2009. He had just completed drug rehab, paid for by the WWE, due to his past addictions. His father and friends have stated in recent interviews that they thought he was doing much better since the rehab.
DH Smith has bleached his hair blonde. He's rumored to join Legacy upon his return to television. You can see a photo of him from Sunday's annual post-WrestleMania party at this link, alongside his sister Georgia and Tammy "Sunny" Sytch.
It is believed that the concept of the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania was born out of the big reaction Trish Stratus received when they were in Toronto for Raw last December. They figured to follow it up with her at the annual show, under the guise of bringing a number of female performers back.
Unfortunately for company officials, Stratus, Amy "Lita" Dumas and Wendi Richter the three big names they wanted to bring back all declined. In Richter's case, it is believed that at her age, she didn't want to be put in a position to be embarrassed body wise by being compared to the women of today. Richter is 47 years old and understandably looks nothing like she how she used to look during her heyday in the mid-1980s.
Stratus must have peeved some people off during negotiations as there were some negative things said about the seven-time Women's Champion amongst management during WrestleMania weekend over her not being there.
Batista recently approached WWE officials and told them he was way ahead of schedule with his physical therapy and was ready to gt back in the mix of things as soon as possible, which is why he was brought back on RAW this week. Batista has been working out at FCW in Tampa to get rid of some of his ring rust. He did look bigger on RAW this week than he has in a while but was seen limping. Returning to action before he is 100% could be a bad move in the long run.

On Thursday night, TNA sent out a text via their mobile service teasing that negotiations continue with a former World Champion from another company and the hope is that a deal can be reached by Lockdown.
- TNA President Dixie Carter spoke with former WWE Womens Champion Victoria at a recent UFC event and we do know there is interest in bringing her into TNA. No word yet on any deal offered or anything like that but everything would depend on when her deal with WWE was up and what kind of a release she signed. If someone leaves WWE with time left on their contract, they have to agree not to work for TNA until the time of their original deal is finished. Bobby Lashley was an exception as he negotiated a deal with WWE where the company agreed to all of his terms in exchange for him agreeing never to say anything bad about them.

- Infrequently seen WWE Diva Candice Michelle is hoping to be moved to SmackDown following next week's draft.
The following was sent in from one of the many wrestling fans at TMZ.com:
"I shared a ride to the airport with her and was on her plane leaving Houston. She mentioned she was looking forward to a few days off to heal her ankle more, because she was on it way too much this past weekend.
She also stated that she hopes to be on Smackdown after the draft as it will help in her recovery. Not exactly sure why, but she was extremely nice person."
As previously reported, the June 15th edition of WWE Raw from Charlotte, North Carolina will be a special 3-hour show. The show is rumored to feature a 1-night tournament to crown a 2009 King of the Ring.

Unified WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo & Evan Bourne def. John Morrison, The Miz, & Tyson Kidd (Six-Man Tag Match) Mark Henry eliminated from Elimination Chase to Backlash Fatal Four Way Match involving Finlay, Christian and Tommy Dreamer.
AUSTIN, Texas - Just two days after the electrifying 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, the Land of the Extreme shook things up with a change in leadership and the promise of a championship match at Backlash.
Theodore Long new SmackDown General Manager; Tiffany new interim General Manager of ECW; Elimination Chase Announced (WATCH | PHOTOS) Hot on the heels of Vickie Guerreros announcement that she would become the permanent General Manager of Monday Night Raw, ECW General Manager Theodore Long revealed that he will once again take the reigns as SmackDown General Manager. Long announced that his assistant, Tiffany, would become the new interim General Manager of ECW.
When ECW Champion Jack Swagger interrupted, Tiffany informed him that Christian, Tommy Dreamer, Finlay and Mark Henry would compete in an Elimination Chase over the next few weeks to see who will face The All-American American at Backlash. (Match preview)
Mark Henry eliminated from the Elimination Chase to Backlash in a Fatal Four Way Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) In the culmination of an action-packed Fatal Four Way Match, Finlay once again employed the trusted help of his shillelagh to defeat Henry, walloping The Worlds Strongest Man out of the Elimination Chase as he was attempting The Worlds Strongest Slam on Tommy Dreamer. As a result, The Belfast Brawler will face Christian and Dreamer in a Triple Threat Match next week.

Mr. Kennedy revealed in a recent interview with the Miami Herald that his shoulder is not healing and it could become a permanent injury he has to deal with for the remainder of his wrestling career.
"I'm going to find out from Dr. Andrews if that's going to be a permanent thing, and I'll have to deal with it, or if there's something more that we can do, said Kennedy. ''I don't want to do that. I'd rather be 100 percent, but you got to do what you got to do in this business because the bottom line is this business is going to keep rolling with or without me. I'd rather be a part of it and contribute. I think I have a lot to contribute because there are a lot of things that I have yet to accomplish that nobody really has seen out of me. I just want to get back in there and get after it -- win some championships, main event at WrestleMania. I say it year after year after year. If it takes me 10 years to do it, I'm going to do it."
At a press conference held today in Japan, female Japanese star Ayako Hamada announced that she has signed with TNA, and that the April 19th Ito Dojo show will be her final match in Japan.
Ayako Hamada is the daughter of Michinoku Pro Wrestling's Gran Hamada.
