It looks like TNA plans to continue using Mr. Kippin It Real Kip James after making his return on Impact last week. Kip James has been pulled from an indy booking for VPW in the UK on May 26th due to TNA requiring him to be available for the TV tapings that night. He was supposed to be the UK Kids opponent, but Bob Holly will take his place. A funny-but-true quote from Kip on the issue: The UK Kid is gonna be wishing he was in the ring with me when Bobs finished with him.
Last weeks episode of TNA Impact averaged a 1.23 rating, which was up 3.5% from last weeks 1.19. The ratings increase came as a surprise to many since the show was head-to-head against the most-watched NBA game ever on ESPN between the Rockets and Lakers. Additionally, the second hour of the show averaged a 1.32 rating, compared a 1.15 for last weeks second hour. Awesome Kong vs. Kip James was the highest rated match with a 1.37 in the fifth quarter-hour, which also featured a Scott Steiner segment, making this his fifth time in the last six weeks being in the highest rated quarter-hour.

DAYTON, Ohio Just two nights before Judgment Day, mayhem came to the land of SmackDown when Jeff Hardy, CM Punk, Umaga and Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio crashed the party.
World Heavyweight Champion Edge def. Chris Jericho (non-title) (PHOTOS | VIDEO) When World Heavyweight Champion Edge and Chris Jericho collided in the main event, The Ultimate Opportunist picked up the win after Jericho was disqualified for bringing a steel chair into the ring.
But the action was far from over.
Chaos ensued when Jeff Hardy ran into the ring, hitting Edge with a Twist of Fate. Next, the high-flyer leaped from the top rope onto Jericho.
Capitalizing on the mayhem, CM Punk rushed into the arena, hoping to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and take Edges title. However, Punk was once again stopped by Umaga.
With Umaga and Punk battling it out, Judgment Day opponents Hardy and Edge continued to wage war outside the ring. As their battle spilled out into the WWE Universe, Punk and Umaga continued to slug it out on the arena floor.
Finally, Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio stormed into the arena to attack Jericho and make his own statement just hours before Judgment Day.
Whos really in charge? (PHOTOS | VIDEO) At the start of the night, Edge and Chris Jericho traded words over who really runs SmackDown. After stating hes been given a raw deal on Friday nights, Jericho looked out across the WWE Universe and claimed a conspiracy has been orchestrated and perpetrated by all of you fraudulent, gelatinous parasitic tapeworms. But, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long cleared the air and let everyone know whos really in charge the WWE Universe! Next, the GM announced Edge and Jericho would square off in the main event. Holla! Holla! Holla!
CM Punk & John Morrison def. Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas (PHOTOS | VIDEO) Ever since the WWE Draft and distancing himself from The Miz John Morrison has continued to make bold statements on SmackDown, including defeating Charlie Haas last week. Tonight, Morrison teamed with a partner of his choosing CM Punk. Once again, using the Starship Pain, The Friday Night Delight put away Haas. Before the bout, Benjamin & Haas confronted Morrison in the locker room area. (VIDEO)
John Morrison vs. Shelton Benjamin at Judgment Day This Sunday, Benjamin will have an opportunity at revenge against Morrison when the two square off at Judgment Day. (Preview)

Dolph Ziggler def. Jimmy Wang Yang (PHOTOS) Last week on SmackDown, Dolph Ziggler made a strong statement by viciously attacking The Great Khali with a steel chair. Tonight, after defeating Yang, Ziggler was confronted by The Great Khali, who was out for revenge. In one fell swoop, The Punjabi Giant lifted Ziggler up and over the top rope with one hand and tossed him out onto the arena floor. The big 7-footer then chased Ziggler out of the arena. Ziggler can run, but can he hide forever from the massive giant?
R-Truth def. Mike Knox (PHOTOS) Using his quickness and athleticism, R-Truth was able to down formidable foe Mike Knox using a corkscrew elbow.
Womens Champion Melina & Gail Kim def. Michelle McCool & Alicia Fox (PHOTOS) In recent weeks, Gail Kim and Michelle McCool have traded wins in singles competition. On this night, it was Kim who came out on top when her partner, Womens Champion Melina, stunned McCool with a high-impact maneuver to set up the pinfall.

Full Report:
- Foley hits the ring. Tenay hypes up an incident that took place earlier in the day between Jarrett and Foley in Nashville. Mick gets out a copy of Jeff Jarretts new DVD set and says that before he watched it he had forgotten about Jarretts contributions to founding TNA. He then claims however that unfortunately Jarrett will not be part of tonights show. In fact he feels a little responsible for it himself. He teases that he has video footage of the rumored incident and it may be hard to watch. He tease about putting it on, and says hell play bits throughout the night.
- Backstage JB is with Main Event Mafia minus Kurt Angle who is shooting footage for a movie. Steiner says he was top of the class and makes a grand quote. JB asks if thats from the Lion King? Steiner then says yeah Im a lion. The heat with Sharmell and Morasca continues.
- After the break JB catches Foley taking down Jarretts picture as if Foley is taking over the company and getting rid of Jeffs stuff. Mick downplays it and says hes fixing a crack in the glass. Eric Young comes in pleading once again for an opportunity. Foley gets pissed and books him against Samoa Joe.
- Daniels defeats Chris Sabin: The match ends when Shelley gets up on the but Daniels knocks him off and hits an Enziguri followed by a Book-End on Sabin. Daniels completes the sequence with a BME.
- Backstage Foley is talking to the referees and chooses Earl Hebner to screw Eric Young because he has the screwjob thing going on. He command Earl not to disqualify Joe at any point during the match.
- Steiner tries to get Jenna Morasca to reconcile with Sharmell.
- Backstage Angelina Love introduces the returning Kip James, who will face Kong later tonight!
- Some of the video footage plays. Its Jarrett and his daughters jet skiing and driving around in a golf cart. It seems to be setting the scene for later.
- Samoa Joe defeats Eric Young: Samoa Joe destroys Eric Young, finishing the match with a Coquina Clutch. Afterward he continues the beating and drags Young backstage.
After the break we see Joe put EY in the trunk of a car, which then speeds off. Did Taz just kidnap Eric Young!
- Next is a sitdown interview between Mike Tenay and former champ Sting. The piece is focused around Sting putting his career on the line at Sacrifice if he loses.
- Lauren is accompanying Taylor Wilde on her blind date, but things soon go sour when Daffney arrives and reveals that she was the admirer all along. In a brutal segment Taylor is clotheslined and dragged up some stairs where Daffney threatens to throw her off the balcony! Lauren comes at her with some broken glass and she walks off doing the Daffney laugh. Am I the only one that thinks Daffney is hot? I guess I must be a tortured soul.
- Back to the Jeff Jarrett footage. He picks his kids up from school and one of his daughters is reading a childrens book in the car. Jeff says Mick has lost his mind and that she should read it to him. The joke that Booker T is actually called Booger T.
- Awesome Kong defeats Kip James in a stretcher match: Kip humorously gets destroyed by Kong!
- Steiner lies to Sharmell that Jenna is going to apologize and sends her to meet her. This cant end well.
- Team 3D plug the tag division before The British invasion take them out
- Back to Jarrett in Nashville where he soes some activities and ends up seeing Borash outside a nude Karaoke Bar. LOL.
- Doug Williams and Brutus Magnus defeat Suicide and Amazing Red: The British Invasion cheat to win by throwing Red to the outside and distracting the ref as the Machine Guns take out Suicide.
After the match they call to unmask Suicide and Lethal Consequences come to help. They nearly reveal his identity, but Daniels makes the save, proving it cant be Daniels after all.
- Sharmell and Morasca end up fighting.
- Kevin Nash squashes No Limit in a handicap match.
- Foley and Socko are watching more Jarrett footage.
- Lauren interviews AJ, who cuts a basic promo about his I Quit Match with Booker T at the PPV.
- Booker T defeats Jethro Holiday in an I Quit match: Booker T wins after using a chair on Jethro. For some reason Sharmell distracts the ref. I guess TNAs I Quit matches have different rules.
- The final segment brings Foley back out to the ring where he plays the rest of the Jarrett footage. Jarrett is shown outside the TNA Asylum in Nashville, where TNAs early shows were taped. He takes fans on a tour of the building reliving some of his memories. He eventually takes us to where his office was, but out of nowhere Foley wraps a cable around his neck and beats him to a pulp all over the arena. Foley stops him and tells Jeff Welcome back to the Asylum, Jeffrey. Foley says that Jeff learned the harsh reality that sometimes you cant go home.
Rey Mysterio was injured on Tuesday night during his match with Shelton Benjamin. Jim Ross wrote about the situation in his latest JRsBarBQ.com blog, "Rey Mysterio got banged up by a very physical Shelton Benjamin in a match that will air Thursday night," Ross said on JRsBarBQ.com. "Benjamin's aggression banged up the IC Champion to the level that Rey was unable to make much of an impact on Friday Night Smackdown but somehow the incredible Mysterio does manage to put his unique stamp on Friday night's show." Ross added that Rey's Intercontinental title defense against Chris Jericho this Sunday at Judgment day is "definitely still on" and he expects that "it will likely be a viable candidate for match of the PPV."

As seen on this week's episode of ECW on Sci Fi, DH Smith made his ECW debut, brutally attacking Finlay during his match with Tyson Kidd. He is now going under the name David Hart Smith and has aligned himself with the Hart Dungeon-trained wrestler as well as his valet Natalya. The announcers referred to the trio as The Hart Trilogy.
The pairing was expected as Kidd and Natalya were informed a few weeks ago that Smith would be joining them sometime soon.
Prior to his appearance tonight, Smith had not appeared on television in just over a year, his last appearance taking place on the May 5, 2008 episode of RAW.
Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio def. Shelton Benjamin ECW Champion Christian def. Mark Henry Big Show def. Hornswoggle (Disqualification)
According to the tale of the tape, this Thursday night had three separate David vs. Goliath match-ups, as Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio, ECW Champion Christian and Hornswoggle each faced off against men much larger than them in stature when WWE Superstars aired on WGN America.

Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio def. Shelton Benjamin (Photos | Watch) Despite Shelton Benjamins size advantage, Rey Mysterio is The Ultimate Underdog and proved why he is dubbed just that with an impressive win over The Gold Standard. With a lot of fast-paced, high-flying action between the two, both Superstars fought tooth and nail trying to subdue their opponent and pick up the victory. The Master of the 619 was finally able to put away the gifted athlete that is Shelton Benjamin while John Morrison, who took a seat at the announce table prior to the bout, was clearly on The Gold Standard's mind. Following the match, The Friday Night Delight took to the ring to exact his own revenge on Benjamin after he similarly cost him his match against Chris Jericho just one week before. With tension rising rapidly between the two, what will come next in the rivalry between The Shaman of Sexy and The Gold Standard? Also, with just three days before the Intercontinental Champion defends his title against the devious Chris Jericho at Judgment Day, will this victory give Mysterio the momentum he needs to come out on top this Sunday?
ECW Champion Christian def. Mark Henry (Photos | Watch) In a non-title match against The Worlds Strongest Man, Mark Henry, it looked as though the deck was seriously stacked against ECW Champion Christian on WWE Superstars. Although Captain Charisma has shown that he is able to overcome the odds time and time again, at points in the bout, it seemed as though Henrys size advantage and immeasurable strength might have had Christian beat. Thankfully for all his peeps out there, the ECW Champion used his whole body to topple the massive Superstar as he came flying off the top rope with a cross body block that allowed him to get the pin and the win. Now, Christian can focus all his energy on defeating The All-American American Jack Swagger in the ECW Championship rematch at Judgment Day.
Big Show def. Hornswoggle in an Exhibition Match (Photos | Watch) With almost a 3-foot and more than 300-pound advantage over his opponent, it was no question that Big Show had the upper hand going into this cruelly put together Exhibition Match against Hornswoggle. No matter how much heart he showed, there was almost no chance for Finlays son to come out of this match against The Worlds Largest Athlete without sustaining serious harm or even possible injury. While Big Show toyed with the pint-sized Superstar at first, there were certainly no laughs from the WWE Universe or Hornswoggle as he wound up to deliver his devastating knockout punch. Thankfully, before a fist was thrown, Goldust came to the rescue, allowing Hornswoggle to walk from the ring. Unfortunately, no good deed goes unpunished, as The Bizarre Superstar was on the receiving end of Big Shows wrath and wound up being incapacitated by a devastating chokeslam. Was this brutal attack just a taste of what The Worlds Largest Athlete has planned for this Sunday in his match against John Cena?
TNA Knockout ODB was left off the most recent set of Impact tapings (three episodes worth) because company officials didn't have any ideas on where to take her storyline relationship with Cody Deaner.
In a separate note, her contract is set to expire in November.
TNA newcomer Sarah Stock was formally introduced in the latest episode of TNA En Espanol Con Willie Urbina on YouTube.com. During the interview, her ring name is revealed to be "Sarita."
The segment features a behind the scenes photo shoot Stock recently took part in, highlights from her recent dark matches against Awesome Kong and Taylor Wilde, and an interview Hector Guerrero conducted with her in Spanish.
During the interview, Stock discusses her wrestling background and notes the contrast in styles between Mexico and the United States. She says the Mexican style of wrestling is very different, but she's going to do the best she can.
Stock also adds it's her intention to dominate the women's division and she plans on reaching her goal by going up against the best TNA has to offer. She notes her two matches against Awesome Kong and Taylor Wilde, saying right from the start, TNA has put her up against the best they have to offer. Basically, Stock says she just want to prove that she's the best wrestler in the women's division.
Christy Hemme took part in an interview this past week saying she still can't give a timetable on when she'll be able to return to the ring after deciding not to have neck surgery to help heal her seriously injured neck.
"I opted not to have neck surgery because I don't like the idea of fusing bones together when you can heal it naturally," Hemme said. "I haven't wrestled since November and I'm feeling really good and getting a lot stronger and waiting it out until I can get back in the ring."
While the TNA Knockout suffered the neck injury training for a pay-per-view match, she says the injury was inevitable after accumulating a variety of injuries as a result of being "knocked around in the ring."
In other highlights coming out of the interview, when asked if there's anyone in professional wrestling she doesn't like, Hemme notes Vince McMahon, saying he's "not my favorite person on the planet."
Hemme is also asked about winning the first WWE Diva Search and the $250,000 grand prize. She says the worst part was paying taxes on the winnings. "Paid a lot of taxes and it was horrible," Hemme said.
The Undertaker is expected to be back in action around mid-July. While that is not set in stone, WWE wants him to return over the summer with enough time to build to a big program for SummerSlam in August.

The All-American American promised Christian hell reclaim the ECW Championship that Christian cheated to steal at Backlash, showing the WWE Universe clips of Christian exposing the turnbuckle for the victory. But instead of playing clips of Swagger exposing the opposite turnbuckle, Christian offered a montage of Swaggers greatest lisp-filled speeches on ECW. (WATCH)
Since ECWs interim General Manager, Tiffany, promised thered be consequences to pay if either Christian or Swagger engaged in physicality during The Peep Show, Swagger continued to berate the ECW Champion. But it was only a matter of time before Christian abruptly ended The Peep Show, and attacked his stunned Judgment Day opponent with a punch to the face. An irate Swagger ran out of the ring as the WWE Universe cheered for Christian. Will the ECW Champion successfully defend the title Sunday at Judgment Day, or will Swagger reclaim the Extreme gold to once again become the face of the Tuesday night franchise? Tune in to Judgment Day, this Sunday at 8/7 CT, live and only on pay-per-view.
Finlay def. Tyson Kidd (disqualification) (PHOTOS | WATCH) With Natalya banned from ringside, a retribution-seeking Finlay defeated Tyson Kidd by disqualification on ECW on Sci Fi. But The Belfast Brawler wasnt celebrating his win after David Hart Smith emerged to back up Kidd. The Hart Dungeon-trained duo brutally attacked Finlay, as Kidd used Finlays shillelagh twice against him. After the vicious assault, Natalya joined Kidd and the son of the British Bulldog for a Pink & Black Attack reunion in the ring. Now that Smith has joined Kidd and Natalya in the Land of the Extreme, will anyone be able to stop this trio?
Mark Henry def. Tommy Dreamer (PHOTOS) With WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas in his corner, The Worlds Strongest Man was victorious against Tommy Dreamer. The ECW Original fell victim to Henrys Worlds Strongest Slam Tuesday night. Dreamers defeat comes at a time when hes fighting to be king of the Land of the Extreme once again. With his contract expiring in just weeks, Dreamer vowed to become ECW Champion or leave WWE. Will Dreamers hopes of becoming ECW Champion again be crushed? Or will the ECW Original fight his way to the top? And what will Henry do Thursday night on WWE Superstars when he faces ECW Champion Christian just days before he defends the Extreme Title at Judgment Day?
Vladimir Kozlov def. local competitor (PHOTOS) Since his ECW arrival, Vladmir Kozlov has been undefeated in singles action, repeatedly and mercilessly beating his competition. After his win, The Moscow Mauler demanded an interview from the ECW announce team. Josh Mathews asked Kozlov how his Russian military training has helped him. Kozlov explained that hes trained in the superior Russian martial art of Sambo, which uses the great combination of skills and discipline, Kozlov said. That is why I will dominate everyone here in ECW. He then again delivered a mysterious, forceful, message to the WWE Universe in Russian. What will the dominant Kozlov do next? Will any ECW Superstar be able to stop him?
