Evan Bourne def. Tyson Kidd Vladmir Kozlov def. local competitor Jack Swagger & Mark Henry def. ECW Champion Christian & Tommy Dreamer
PITTSBURGH Jack Swagger has just one thing on his mind winning back the ECW Championship. The All-American American made it clear on ECW on Sci Fi that he refuses to let any Superstar get in the way of his conquest of the ECW Title not current champion Christian, and especially not ECW Original Tommy Dreamer.
Jack Swagger & Mark Henry def. ECW Champion Christian & Tommy Dreamer (PHOTOS | WATCH) An angry Jack Swagger explained to the WWE Universe why he interrupted last weeks ECW Championship match between Christian and Tommy Dreamer its because he believes Christian cheated to earn the Extreme Title at Backlash and that Dreamer doesnt deserve to be ECW Champion again. But the boos from our fans in the Steel City only made the The All-American American more irritated, and Swaggers comments prompted Dreamer to run out to the ring and attack him.
During the main event between ECW Champion Christian and Mark Henry, an irate Swagger interrupted the match, attacking Captain Charisma. But Swaggers attack prompted Dreamer to also emerge and double-team Swagger with Christian. Before the main event could turn into an unmitigated brawl, interim ECW General Manager Tiffany turned it into a tag team match: Christian & Dreamer vs. Swagger & Henry. The All-American American used the WWE Universes disdain toward him against his opponents, hitting the Gutwrench Powerbomb on ECW Original Dreamer for the victory.
Swagger has sent a clear message to his Judgment Day opponent, Christian: Hes determined to win back the ECW Championship on May 17. But with Dreamers ECW contract expiring in five weeks, will the ECW Original find a way to win the Extreme Championship before his time is up in WWE, or will Swagger and Christian firmly stand in his way?
Evan Bourne def. Tyson Kidd (PHOTOS | WATCH) Hoping he could continue his winning ways after defeating Finlay on last weeks ECW on Sci Fi, Tyson Kidd met Evan Bourne for the first time in one-on-one action. Kidd, the self-proclaimed crown prince of ECW, was relentless in his attack on Bourne, repeatedly shouting at him to give up and tap out, but Air Bourne wouldnt quit. While Natalya pulled Bourne onto the ring apron when the referee wasnt watching, it was Finlays interference that affected the outcome of the match. The Belfast Brawler got retribution for his loss at the hands of Natalya last week, hitting Kidd with his shillelagh when the official wasnt looking. Then Bourne hit Kidd with another perfect Shooting Star Press for the victory. Will Kidd & Natalya seek revenge against Finlay and Bourne for Kidds ECW loss?
Vladimir Kozlov def. local competitor (PHOTOS) Since arriving in the Land of the Extreme in the WWE Draft, Vladmir Kozlov has been steamrolling his competition. The unsympathetic, disciplined Moscow Mauler took no mercy on another local competitor, easily earning one more ECW victory. After his win, Kozlov delivered a mysterious, yet forceful, message to the WWE Universe in Russian. What will the dominant Kozlov do next? Will any ECW Superstar be able to stop him?
Zack Ryder makes his ECW debut Zack Ryder met Tiffany backstage on ECW on Sci Fi this week, and he promised the interim General Manager hes going to be the man on Tuesday nights. Tiffany said hell be able to prove it in his match against Finlay Thursday on WWE Superstars at 8/7 CT on WGN America.
The UK Sun is reporting that WWE Women's Champion Melina has begun dating John Morrison again, which is the apparent reason why she was seen crying during the WWE live draft which took place several weeks ago. At that point, Morrison had not been drafted to Smackdown yet, so the Women's Champion worried that the two would be separated due to her being drafted to Friday nights. However, the next day Morrison was of course drafted to Smackdown in the supplemental draft and the two ended up on the same show.
RF Video recently conducted a shoot interview with former WWE wrestler Hardcore Holly and he holds nothing back while discussing his 15-year tenure in the company.
Perhaps the most notable portion of the interview concerns Holly's explanation for being let from World Wrestling Entertainment back in January. He has some choice words for a certain wrestler in the company to say the least that person being Raw Superstar Mr. Kennedy. Holly believes Kennedy is responsible for his ultimate release from the company and is angry with him to this day, so much so that he issues a personal threat to him during the interview.
Courtesy of RFVideo.com, here is a synopsis of what you can expect to hear from Holly concerning his issue with Kennedy in the shoot interview:
"I got a call from Bob today when he was boarding his plane and he told me what he wanted to talk about on the shoot. He asked me point blank can he say what ever he wants and I told him that this is his day. This would be his platform to do what ever he wanted. He went off on a 5 minute promo on how he wants to beat the hell out of Ken Kennedy on the phone and told me about his major heat with him. This is not a work at all and on the interview, Bob goes into what happened to get these two once best friends into a bitter battle. You will hear right from the mouth of Bob, how Kennedy told Bob to go into his bag and get something out of it for himself. I do not want to get to graphic here because it makes the shoot. You have to watch this as soon as you can, as Bob sends a private message to Ken on this tape. I would not want to be in the shoes of Mr. Kennedy!!!"
Here is another synopsis on the subject, noting Holly making a threat "that is sure to get the WWE's attention":
"The highlight of this interview is Bob talking about his WWE release. How did someone once so close to the boss get released? Bob sends a clear message to a current WWE superstar and calls him out by name. What is this wrestler's culpability in Bob's firing? Bob will tell you a story that will shock even his biggest detractors. No names are protected and nobody is innocent as Bob makes a threat that is sure to get the WWE's attention. What happened between Bob and his former friend? You will hear about it all from the horse's mouth in this classic RF Video Shoot Interview."
Reportedly, Holly was caught stealing pain pills from another wrestler's bag this past summer, hence his sudden disappearance from television. He was immediately taken off the road, sent to a rehabilitation facility, and ultimately released.
We reported yesterday that Dave Batista is considering retiring from WWE when his contract expires next year. Batista was interviewed today by the UK Sun and once again brought up the prospect of retirement. "I realize that I am closer to the end of my career than I am to the beginning. It's something Im really going to have to take a look at. I dont want to hang around past my welcome. I also dont want to hang around to the point where Im so beat up that its hard for me to get out of bed. I dont want to be that guy." Batista's WWE contract expires next Spring.
World Wrestling Entertainment has signed a 22-year-old New Jersey based women's wrestler by the name of Miss April (real name April Jeanette) to a developmental contract the first such signing since Natalya Neidhart in January 2007. This is coming off the heels of the tryout camp held at WWE's developmental facility in Tampa this past weekend.
April had been wrestling for several independent promotions in the Tri-State Region including National Wrestling Superstars and Women Superstars Unleashed.
National Wrestling Superstars issued the following press release this morning:
"National Wrestling Superstars management along with the entire locker room sends congratulations to Miss April on her WWE contract. April, who was the winner (along with TNAs Jay Lethal) of the NWS King & Queen Tournament just this past April has been a bright note on the indy scene where women have a hard time competing with men for the spotlight April, along with her partner Brooke Carter, won the WSU tag team titles from Roxxie Cotton and Annie Social at an NWS event held in Edison this past February. Ms April is also the second NWS King & Queen winner to move on to the WWE as was Kara Slice aka Cherry Pie as both these female dynamos made many a stride whilst in the NWS territory."
I just wanted to add one thing to the Raw off air report, and it is why I am now a HUGE John Cena fan.
Sitting near us was a group of three guys that like to show how "smart" they are, and then especially in the dark match were giving it to Cena, being loud and vulgar, constantly standing and flipping him off. There were a lot of kids around and some parents in front of me even said they kind of hoped Cena would come over and punch them out.
After the match, Cena did come over (they were second row) so they started yelling and flipping him off more. So, Cena got a cameraman to come over and take his picture smiling and posing with them in the background. Everyone was laughing (except those guys, who were even more pissed off, which was great). Cena sure is a class act all the way.
Spencer Pratt, from MTVs The Hills TV series, is reportedly talking to TNA about an appearance at their Slammiversary pay-per-view event in June.
Spencer was at the TNA offices last week for a discussion with management about an appearance at Slammiversary. Jeremy Borash addressed the issue on his Twitter page (http://twitter.com/JeremyBorash) saying: A possible Slammiversary involvement could be in the works.
This is the second celebrity who falls into TNAs target audience demographic that Jeremy Borash has been speaking with lately, after meeting with Dennis Rodman in Miami. Rodman, however, is currently dealing with his substance abuse issues and its unlikely that well see him on TNA TV any time soon unless theres a change in his current situation.

Batista by disqualification Mickie James def. Divas Champion Maryse in a non-title match Cody Rhodes def. United States Champion MVP by count-out in a non-title match Kofi Kingston def. Matt Hardy WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Shane McMahon ended in a no-contest
BUFFALO, N.Y. With Judgment Day looming, the WWE Universe is crying out for Randy Orton and his Legacy to be held accountable for their actions. With the WWE Title firmly around his waist, The Viper and his associates, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase continue to terrorize the Raw roster, racking up victories at the expense of their opponents. The ring warrior who experienced the most acute loss however, was Shane McMahon, who had his ankle shattered by The Legacy on Raw.
Shane McMahon def. The Legacy in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match by disqualification after they shattered his ankle (PHOTOS | WATCH) In the nights main event, Shane McMahon faced incredible odds, taking on not only Randy Orton, but also the WWE Champions associates Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, as determined by the Legacy members wins earlier in the night. As decreed by Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero, if Batista or United States Champion MVP were to become involved with the match, The Animal would lose his Judgment Day title opportunity against Orton and The Ballin Superstar would be stripped of his U.S. Title.
Heeding Vickies threats, Batista & MVP steered clear of the match as Shane OMac struggled to hold his own. Though not in a traditional manner, Legacy put a definitive end to the match when they attacked their opponents leg using a steel chair and the ring steps, shattering Shanes ankle and causing the contest to end in a disqualification. Afterward, Batista ran out to the ring, but it was too late as Shane McMahon writhed in agony while being attended to by EMTs.
Unified WWE Tag Team Champion Carlito def. The Brian Kendrick (PHOTOS) Unified WWE Tag Team Champion Carlito and The Brian Kendrick met for a match on Raw the first time the two faced off since being drafted to the brand. Kendrick is finding that victories are a little tougher to come by ever since being separated from his former associate, Ezekiel Jackson, as evidenced by his defeat at the hands of The Southpaw from San Juan.
Ted DiBiase def. Batista by disqualification, earning a spot in Raws main event (PHOTOS | WATCH) In the second match to determine the line-up of Raws tag-team main event, Batista competed against Ted DiBiase. The third-generation Superstar held his own against The Animal, working his opponents neck. But when DiBiase slapped Batista and attempted to kick him in the groin, it only enraged The Animal, invoking his primal rage. Batista went after DiBiase like a man possessed, and in his single-minded attempt to harm his opponent, caused himself to be disqualified. With The Animals loss, Shane McMahons odds in the main event got profoundly worse as Ted DiBiase joined WWE Champion Randy Orton & Cody Rhodes in the nights 3-on-1 Handicap Match.
Mickie James def. Divas Champion Maryse in a non-title match (PHOTOS | WATCH) The next match saw a special announcer take to the ring: Jared from Subway. After Jared announced the competitors, Divas Champion Maryse and Mickie James squared off in a non-title match.

The Miz challenges John Cena to a match; Cena is attacked by Big Show (PHOTOS | WATCH) After attacking Festus in the Superstars most helpless state, The Miz turned his sights on another ring warrior not in the best condition to defend himself: The injured John Cena. For the second week in a row, the self-proclaimed future World Champion called out the former World Heavyweight Champion, all the time tossing out cruel insults. But this week, to Mizs surprise, Cena actually emerged, slowly making his way down the ramp to the ring. Before things could progress any further, however, Big Show made his entrance, attacking his Judgment Day opponent and locking him into a brutal submission maneuver, leaving the recuperating Superstar lying prone in the ring.
Festus def. Jillian in a singing contest; The Miz attacks Festus (PHOTOS | WATCH) WWE Hall of Famer Jerry The King Lawler took to the ring on Raw to host a singing contest between Jillian and her hand-picked opponent, Festus. Raws tone-deaf songstress started off the competition with her ear-shattering rendition of Britney Spears If You Seek Amy. Jillian expected an easy win as The Corn-fed Colossus stared in his default catatonic state, but the WWE Universe was shocked by what happened after Lawler rang a ring bell. Festus screamed and then broke out in a heart-warming rendition of Tomorrow from Annie.
As Jillian stood in shock and Festus went back to his vegetative baseline, the crowd in attendance went crazy for The Corn-Fed Colossus, who won the Singing Contest. One Superstar who wasnt impressed with the performance, however, was The Miz, who attacked Festus, ejecting him from the ring.
Cody Rhodes def. United States Champion MVP by count-out in a non-title match, earning a spot in Raws main event (PHOTOS | WATCH) In the first of two matches to determine the participants in Raws tag team main event, Cody Rhodes took on United States Champion MVP. As William Regal assisted on commentary, The Ballin Superstar and the Legacy member fought to earn a spot alongside Shane McMahon and Randy Orton, respectively. Though MVP put forth an impressive effort the Monday before against The Viper, this week he was undone due to involvement from The British Brawler at ringside, who attacked The Franchise Playa outside the ring, causing him to lose by count-out. With that, Rhodes earned a spot in the main event assisting Orton, ensuring that best-case scenario for Shane would be a two-on-two encounter.
Vickie Guerrero sets John Cena vs. Big Show for Judgment Day As Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero sat in her office she was interrupted by Big Show, who was furious about the events of the week before. On the last Raw, The Worlds Largest Athlete competed against Batista for the No. 1 contendership to the WWE Title. During the match, John Cena distracted Big Show, causing him to get counted out, and gaining some matter of retribution for the night before at Backlash, when The Worlds Largest Athlete chokeslammed him through a 7000-watt searchlight. Big Show wanted to be put in a match against Cena immediately, but due to internal injuries sustained during the 7-footers attack, the former World Heavyweight Champion wont be cleared to compete for another two weeks. As a consolation, Vickie set a new match for Judgment Day: John Cena vs. Big Show.
Kofi Kingston def. Matt Hardy; Hardy attacked Kingston with his cast (PHOTOS) For the second week in a row, Matt Hardy announced that due to his broken hand, he would be competing under protest. The bitter Superstars pessimistic attitude worked against him during his match as the highly athletic Kofi Kingston served him up a loss. But following the contest as The Jamaican Superstar celebrated, Hardy used his injury to his advantage by clobbering Kofi with his cast.
WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Shane McMahon ended in a no-contest (PHOTOS) Starting off with a bang, Raw opened with a highly anticipated match, in which Shane McMahon hoped to exact vengeance from WWE Champion Randy Orton. Not surprisingly, it wasnt possible for this heated rivalry to come to a resolution just yet, as the match saw interference from both Ortons Legacy (Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase) and Batista & United States Champion MVP, interjecting on behalf of Shane OMac. With the contest ending in a complete and total donnybrook, Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero emerged and set a new main event, making it possible for the matchs interlopers to earn their way in. Later in the evening, Batista was set to face DiBiase, with MVP competing against Rhodes, with the winners joining either Shane or Orton.
The official Wikipedia page of former WWE star Randy Savage was hacked over the weekend with a claim that he died of a heart attack on Friday. Savage's webmaster, Steve Wilton, has told us that Savage "is alive and kicking."
Wilton says Savage wants his fans to know that he is doing fine and not to worry about his health despite the claim from his Wikipedia page.
Dave Meltzer is reporting that The Undertaker missed last week's Smackdown/Superstars tapings at Madison Square Garden because both his knees and his hip are bothering him. The word going around is that The Undertaker would be undergoing minor surgery on his knee, but there is a fear that when he undergoes the procedure, more damage could be found. This explains the push of John Morrison as a babyface, and might force WWE to turn up pressure on Jeff Hardy to re-sign. Shawn Michaels, Undertaker's Wrestlemania opponent, was given time off to rest up.
Former WWE Superstar Taz answered another latest batch of questions on his official Facebook page and admitted he was one of the bigger jerks in the original ECW's locker room. When asked about who was the hardest person to deal with backstage in ECW, Taz frankly responded, "I hate to admit this but I'm gonna shoot straight with you, I was probley the biggest A-Hole back in the original ECW days. I don't think most of the locker room 'liked' me....and they shouldn't have. At times, I was a bit immature and difficult to deal with....it took me a long time to 'make it' and I was always told I would NEVER make it in the industry and that motivated me but also developed a huge chip on my shoulder so I wasn't mature enough (sometimes) to handle the push and was very protecting of what I achieved. If I had to do it all over again, I would put a better effort in being humble! Life experiences and settling down has taught me to not take myself so serious."
The Daily Press has an article on TNA Knockout Traci Brooks speaking to students in Timmins, Ontario on Friday. During the session, Brooks discussed overcoming her handicap as she was born with torn arm tendons that make complete range of motion impossible. She noted she is unable to lift her hand higher than her head not to mention most free weights.
TNA Wrestling announced on their Twitter page (www.twitter.com/tnaonline) that Shark Boy was sent home from this weekend's slate of live events due to illness.
He is said to be suffering from the flu, so company officials felt it was best to send him home to rest.
We previously reported that TNA star Shawn Hernandez would be missing around 6-9 months of ring time due to recent neck surgery, however, PWInsider.com is now reporting that Hernandez will NOT miss that much time, and his expected time away from the ring is now somewhere between 2 and 3 months.
Dennis Rodman was hanging out in Miami, FL this past week with TNAs Jeremy Borash. Apparently Rodman was asking about coming in to work for TNA like Danny Bonaduce did. Rodman was the winner of Hulk Hogans Celebrity Championship Wrestling and worked for WCW in the past as a member of the nWo.

When The Rated-R Superstar said that he could beat The Straightedge Superstar as a warm-up match, Punk decided to accommodate him. He proclaimed that if he defeated Edge later that night, he would cash in his Money in the Bank championship opportunity and pin The Rated-R Superstar a second time for the gold. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Later that night, after capturing victory with the GTS, Punk attempted to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase. But, before the bell could sound, Umaga came out of nowhere, laying waste to the would-be champion. Jeff Hardy then exploded upon the ring, hitting the Twist of Fate and Swanton Bomb on Edge.
Jeff Hardy def. Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho and Kane (No. 1 Contender Fatal Four Way Elimination Match) (WATCH | PHOTOS) In a whirlwind Fatal Four Way Elimination Match, Jeff Hardy leveled Kane with the Swanton Bomb, only to have Chris Jericho pull him away and pick up the pinfall on The Big Red Machine himself. Rey Mysterio immediately executed the 619 on the first Undisputed WWE Champion. But when he went to finish off his prey, Jericho hurled a nearby chair at the masked Superstar in mid-air, getting himself disqualified. Hardy and Mysterio then engaged in a fast-paced, intense tour-de-force of combat.
