Chavo Guerrero def. Santino Marella
Zack Ryder def. local competitor
Eve def. Layla w/ Special Guest Referee Maria
Christian, Carlito & Primo def. Jack Swagger & The Hart Dynasty

This week “WWE Superstars” on WGN America was packed to the brim with 13 different Superstars and Divas in action. With four hard-hitting matches, including a main event pitting the team of Christian and Unified Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo against Jack Swagger and The Hart Dynasty, Thursday night was certainly a healthy dose of entertainment for everyone in the WWE Universe.

Chavo Guerrero def. Santino Marella (PHOTOS | WATCH)
With Santino Marella and his twin sister “Santina” wreaking havoc on Chavo Guerrero and his aunt in recent weeks, when these two locked up on “WWE Superstars,” there was no love-loss between the two. The self-proclaimed “Mexican Warrior” controlled much of the match early on, until Santino reversed the third of the Three Amigos.  The Italian Superstar then looked to hit high-risk maneuver, but was met the underside of Chavo’s boot, leaving him prone to the cover and pinfall by Guerrero. Despite “Santino” & “Santina” having their fun at the expense of the Guerrero family, it seems as though Chavo may have gotten the last laugh.

Zack Ryder def. local competitor (PHOTOS)
After last week’s loss to Evan Bourne, Zack Ryder didn’t have much to “Wooo, wooo, wooo!” about, but this week, the ECW Superstar redeemed himself with an impressive win. His obnoxious attitude in abundance, the Long Island native dominated his match, and when it seemed like his opponent was all but done for, Ryder didn’t immediately go for the pin. Instead, the cocky Superstar lifted his competitor up hit him with the Zack Attack -- viciously driving the unlucky local athlete into his knee. As abrasive as he may be, Ryder showed that he is truly an in-ring warrior and has a bright future for himself in WWE.

Eve def. Layla w/ Special Guest Referee Maria (PHOTOS | WATCH)
In exciting one-on-one Divas action with Special Guest Referee Maria, Eve once again topped Layla Thursday night. Though both Divas on the SmackDown roster and are certainly sexy, smart and powerful, the two beauties have been at each other’s throats for several weeks. Layla has attacked Eve on numerous occasions after falling short to her in different competitions, including a dance-off and an arm wrestling match. Well, the result of the match tonight may have been no different with  the 2007 Diva Search winner getting the pin after an impressive backhand spring moonsault onto Layla. Following the match, there was no brawl that ensued and instead, at the beckoning of Maria, the English Diva and Eve shook hands. Now the question is, is this rivalry officially water under the bridge?

Christian, Carlito & Primo def. Jack Swagger & The Hart Dynasty (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The main event on “WWE Superstars” saw three of ECW’s most talented young Superstars fall just short in a battle against former ECW Champion Christian & the Unified Tag Team Champions. Much of the match saw Swagger, Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith controlling Primo, stop one-half of the Tag Champions from making a tag. Showing themselves to be a truly cohesive unit, Swagger worked well with The Hart Dynasty, but unfortunately, one misstep by Kidd saw the tides change. Primo tagged-in his brother Carlito, and the “cool” Superstar quickly gained control of the match. Both Swagger and Smith attempted to sway the momentum back in their favor, but after some help from Christian & Primo clearing the ring, Carlito used the Backstabber for the win. As The Hart Dynasty and “The All-American American” Jack Swagger headed to the back, they knew they had let this victory slip through their fingers.

David Hart Smith def. Christian
Mark Henry def. Evan Bourne
Jack Swagger def. ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer

ROANOKE, Va. – Finlay has returned to the Land of the Extreme and he is ready for a fight. With his shillelagh firmly in hand, The Man Who Loves to Fight is living by a new mantra these days: “An eye for an eye.”

David Hart Smith def. Christian (PHOTOS | WATCH)
A retribution-seeking Christian was ready to face David Hart Smith on ECW after his tag teammate, Jack Swagger, turned on him last week causing a loss to The Hart Dynasty. But Captain Charisma was once again defeated by his pink and black-clad foes, this time after Natalya distracted the referee while Tyson Kidd attacked Christian from the ring apron, allowing Hart Smith to get the pin.

After the match, The Dynasty continued their attack on Christian, but they quickly fled the ring when a shillelagh-wielding Finlay charged in. As The Dynasty stared down Finlay, The Fighting Irishman lived up to his moniker and shockingly smashed his shillelagh across Christian’s head, leaving him face down in the ring. Moments later, Finlay – who was out of action for several weeks after sustaining an eye injury while breaking up a fight between Christian and ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer – explained to Gregory Helms: “Where I come from there’s a little saying – an eye for an eye, and that’s what it’ll be.”

Jack Swagger def. ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer (PHOTOS | WATCH)
“The All-American American” earned a future chance at Tommy Dreamer’s ECW Title on Tuesday night with a defeat over the ECW Original. However, Swagger’s celebration was cut short when Finlay appeared again, this time attacking Dreamer with his shillelagh. Looking to quickly settle his score with Finlay, Christian also ran in to attack the Fighting Irishman. A melee ensued when Swagger became involved, tossing Christian out of the ring. Finally, Finlay smashed his shillelagh over Swagger’s head, standing tall above him, Christian and ECW Champion Dreamer. How will Finlay’s return to the Land of the Extreme affect his fellow ECW Superstars?

Mark Henry def. Evan Bourne (PHOTOS)
The rivalry between Evan “Air” Bourne and The World’s Strongest Man intensified on this week’s ECW. After Bourne defeated Henry’s associate, WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas, last week, Henry decided he’d try to once again take matters into his own giant hands and finally beat the rising Superstar. At almost a half foot taller and 200 pounds heavier, Henry clearly had the advantage over the high-flyer, and while it took weeks to finally stop Bourne’s momentum, Henry decimated his competition with a World’s Strongest Slam. After the match, Henry continued his assault, carrying Bourne’s limp body around the ring, then delivering another devastating World’s Strongest Slam on the already battered Bourne. Is this the end of the rivalry between Bourne and Henry?

Super Fights already had an interview with Dos Caras, where confirmed us that finally an agreement has been reached, already has given the thanks to the CMLL, and its last fight would have been the one that had the past Friday before Shocker.

HHH comes to the aid of young fan after RAW

Mark Drakeford sent in the following:

I have been a fan of wrestling for a long time. I've gone to ever wwe live event within a 100 mile radius of charlotte for the last 5 years. Before that I traveled to the nearest location wherever Raw or smackdown was being held. I can honestly say tonights RAW was the most fun I've had in a long time. I've been a fan since I was little. I'm now 30+ and I still turn into a kid when I go to live events. I saw something tonight in charlotte that made me more of a fan of Triple H than I ever was before.

It had nothing to do with wrestling or politics or simply getting over with the fans. It was pure class. After the matches HHH threw a T-shirt into the stands. As usual a crowd scambled to get the T-shirt. Of course, someone managed to get it. However, there was a small kid around 10-12 that got caught up in the melee. The kid was knocked down and started crying and laying on the floor. The entire time this was happening HHH didn't take his eyes off the situation. He immediately went straight threw the crowd to the little boy, picked him up and took him back into the ring.

He then gave the boy a pep talk and motioned him to pose with him around the ring. They went around the ring posing. The boy was so happy you would have thought it was Christmas. Any pain he may have felt or no matter how upset he may have been, this definitely made up for it. HHH then took the boy back, circled around the ring and then came back to the boy to make sure he was OK. This to me was a class act and made me a fan of the person along with being a fan of the wrestler. Props to HHH! Just my 2 cents.

Thanks to Billy for the following:

Triple H def. nine other Superstars in a 10-Man Battle Royal
Unified WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo def. The Hart Dynasty by disqualification
World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk def. Jeff Hardy and Edge in a Triple Threat Match
Mickie James def. Rosa Mendes

ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer def. Christian
Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho def. Rey Mysterio

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The special three-hour Raw 3-For-All began with no WWE Champion and questions regarding who would be running the show moving forward. By the end of the night, however, all of these issues were addressed as Donald Trump was revealed to be the new owner of Raw directly after Randy Orton recaptured the WWE Title. The Viper’s first title defense will come sooner rather than later however, as he competes in a Last Man Standing Match against Triple H on the next Raw.

Triple H def. nine other Superstars in a 10-Man Battle Royal, earning the right to challenge WWE Champion Randy Orton at The Bash; New Raw owner Donald Trump announced that the WWE Title would be defended on Raw the next week as a Last Man Standing Match (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase competed in Raw’s 10-Man Battle Royal with their primary goal being to prevent certain people from earning a WWE Title opportunity, one of which was no doubt their mentor Randy Orton’s nemesis, Triple H. The Legacy members and The Game collided in Raw’s main event along with John Cena, Kofi Kingston, MVP, Big Show, Matt Hardy, The Miz and William Regal.

With so many powerful ring warriors present, harboring so much ill will toward one another, the match could have gone anyone’s way. However, Triple H was fighting not only for the WWE Title, but a chance to gain retribution for the torment Orton has wrought on him and his family. That added motivation, coupled with the amazing in-ring abilities of The Game was enough to ensure his victory, and his place at The Bash.
Match preview

As Triple H celebrated and WWE Champion Randy Orton looked on nervously from the stage, the festivities were interrupted by Raw’s new owner, Donald Trump. The billionaire celebrity congratulated The Game and then announced that the WWE Universe wouldn’t need to wait until The Bash to see The Viper defend the WWE Title against The Cerebral Assassin, as the two would be facing off against one another on the next Raw in a Last Man Standing Match. This new stipulation no doubt caused Orton legitimate concern as the last time he faced Triple H in this type of match, it only ended after The Viper broke his collarbone and took a sledgehammer to the head.

The Raw ring was inundated by multi-generational Superstars as Unified WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo took on The Hart Dynasty with Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase observing from ringside. As the match got underway, it was revealed that The Legacy members would be cashing in their title opportunity at The Bash and competing for the Unified WWE Tag Team Titles. Match preview

Rhodes & DiBiase admitted that while the Colon brothers are second-generation Superstars, they aren’t “Legacy material,” and that they plan to outclass their opponents at The Bash. Giving the Tag Team Champions a taste of what’s to come, Rhodes & DiBiase attacked Carlito & Primo in the midst of the match, allowing them to pick up a win by disqualification.

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk def. Jeff Hardy and Edge in a Triple Threat Match; Punk will defend his title against Hardy again at The Bash (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Though Jeff Hardy and some members of the WWE Universe might think otherwise, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk maintained that he did nothing wrong in cashing in his Money in the Bank on Hardy following his Ladder Match against Edge. On Raw, The Charismatic Enigma had an opportunity to win the World Heavyweight Title back from The Straightedge Champion, but with the added complication of The Rated-R Superstar’s presence.

In the course of the match, Punk appeared to injure his leg after landing wrong on the ring steps, moving outside the ring for WWE’s athletic trainers to attend to him. The World Heavyweight Champion made a miraculous recovery however, launching into action after Hardy hit Edge with a Swanton Bomb, pulling The Charismatic Enigma out of the ring and covering Edge to retain his championship gold. After the match, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long emerged, congratulating CM Punk and revealing that his next title defense would be against Jeff Hardy at The Bash.

The Miz attacks Goldust and Hornswoggle (PHOTOS)
As the strange duo of Goldust and Hornswoggle interacted with the fans in attendance at Raw, they were interrupted by The Miz. The self-professed “future world champion” addressed Donald Trump, claiming to be the new face of Raw, encouraging Raw’s new owner to leave John Cena in the past. Goldust, however, took issue with Miz’s taunting of Cena, declaring that it lacked imagination. By way of response, the self-proclaimed “chick magnet” told The Bizarre One that no one cared about him before attacking both Goldust and his little buddy, Hornswoggle.

Mickie James def. Rosa Mendes (PHOTOS)
Rosa Mendes has been studying hard under the tutelage of none other than Beth Phoenix. However, even with the in-ring know-how imparted upon her by The Glamazon, Rosa was unable to fight back the high-octane assault of the sexy, smart and powerful Mickie James. Following the fan-favorite Diva’s win, Divas Champion Maryse taunted Mickie from the ring apron, but escaped before her rival could get to her.

Mr. McMahon introduced Raw’s new owner: Donald Trump (PHOTOS | WATCH)
As promised earlier in the evening, Mr. McMahon appeared following the Fatal Four Way WWE Championship Match to announce to whom he had sold Monday Night Raw. While McMahon will still be the Chairman of WWE, Raw will be independently owned and run by this individual, with whom The Chairman has had a tempestuous relationship. McMahon then introduced the new owner, billionaire celebrity Donald Trump, who apparently issued The Chairman a once-in-a-lifetime offer for the show.

Delighting the WWE Universe, Trump then declared that the very next week, Raw would be airing completely commercial-free as he attended the show to run it exactly the way he wants. Following the shocking announcement, Mr. McMahon made his final act running Raw, setting a 10-Man Battle Royal for latter in the night, with the winner earning a WWE Title opportunity at The Bash.

Randy Orton def. Triple H, John Cena and Big Show in a Fatal Four Way to win the WWE Championship (PHOTOS | WATCH)
On the previous Raw, Batista opened the show proudly displaying his first-ever WWE Championship, which he won the night before at Extreme Rules. His reign would prove to be a short and painful one, however, as he was viciously attacked by Randy Orton and his Legacy. The assault seriously injured The Animal’s left arm, resulting in the WWE Title being vacated. To determine a new champion, a Fatal Four Way took place between four of Raw’s most dominant Superstars: Triple H, John Cena, Big Show and The Viper, Randy Orton himself. The Legend Killer showed the WWE Universe that he thrives in chaos by taking advantage of the hectic match to pin Big Show and regain the WWE Championship.

ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer def. Christian (PHOTOS | WATCH)
At Extreme Rules, Tommy Dreamer became the ECW Champion and extended his stay in the Land of the Extreme by pinning Jack Swagger in a Hardcore Rules Triple Threat Match. But being that Christian lost the ECW Title without being pinned, he had a chance to get back his championship gold on Raw. Even when facing Captain Charisma one-on-one, however, Dreamer proved why he’s considered The Heart and Soul of ECW by pinning his opponent to retain the championship.

Mr. McMahon announced that he has sold Monday Night Raw
This week’s Raw began with a lot of questions in the air, with the WWE Title vacated as a result of Randy Orton and The Legacy’s attack on then-champion Batista, and no General Manager due to Vickie Guerrero’s resignation. Mr. McMahon, however, appeared on the show and revealed that both problems would be corrected that very night. The Chairman revealed that he had sold the entire Raw brand to someone, and that starting the following week, they would be running the show. Who Raw’s new owner would be, however, would have to wait until after the Fatal Four Way to determine a new WWE Champion.

Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho def. Rey Mysterio (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The special three-hour Raw 3-For-All opened with a bang as Chris Jericho defended his Intercontinental Title against Rey Mysterio. The Master of the 619 was hoping to exact vengeance for Jericho unmasking him and defeating him for the Intercontinental Championship at Extreme Rules. Unfortunately for The Ultimate Underdog, he was unable to overcome the nefarious Superstar, who attempted to remove Mysterio’s mask once again, giving himself an opening to defeat his opponent and safeguard his ninth Intercontinental Title reign.

Chris Jericho defends the Women's Title (really)

An interesting note from a house show this weekend is that Chris Jericho defended his Intercontinental title against Rey Mysterio, but Jericho came to the ring holding a title belt that was clearly not the IC belt. Several fans at ringside could tell that he was carrying the Women's Title with black electrical tape over the "Women's Championship" part of the belt. He held it in his hand rather than wear it and did his best to hold the title face close to body so that no one would see. It appeared as if Jericho and the ref joked about it when he handed the belt over. The ref also did not hold the belt up to the crowd prior to the match (as they did with the ECW and World titles later that night). The word is that Jericho accidentally left the belt at his hotel room. There was no heat on Jericho.

Update on the issues between Mysterio and WWE

In a follow-up on an earlier report, Rey Mysterio did not hand in his notice to WWE officials as he still remains in the company. Mysterio returned to action over the weekend.

However, there are some issues between both sides which need to be worked out. According to Dave Meltzer, the current conflict between the two sides is money-related.

14-06-2009 om 23:28 geschreven door jefken  

TNA has high hopes for Matt Morgan, who is currently just starting an angle with The Main Event Mafia. They feel he has all of the tools to be a main event star, and want him to be classified as a �homegrown� star as after his mostly forgettable WWE run they totally repackaged him from the ground up.

Breaking news: Japanese legend dies in the ring

The following is from the Wrestling Globe newsletter:

WRESTLING LEGEND MISAWA DIES IN THE RING

Mitsuharu Misawa died on Saturday night in Hiroshima, Japan after being dropped on his head during a GHC tag team title match (Misawa & Go Shiozaki vs. Bison Smith & Akitoshi Saito) at Green Arena. He took a high-angled back suplex at around 8:45pm. The ref asked Misawa whether he could move, and he responded by saying no, then a few seconds later he lost consciousness.

The match was stopped at 27:03 and all the NOAH wrestlers and officials came into the ring. A doctor was brought in from the crowd who tried heart massage as by then Misawa has stopped breathing. The heart massage brought back his pulse, and he was rushed to a nearby hospital. He was officially pronounced dead at 10:10pm.

Misawa, 45, was widely regarded as one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all-time. He was a successful amateur wrestler, placing fifth as a junior at the 1980 freestyle World Championships. He was trained professionally by Dick "The Destroyer" Beyer, Shohei Baba, and Dory Funk, Jr. He made his professional debut on August 21, 1981 for All Japan Pro Wrestling. From 1984 until 1990, Misawa performed as the second generation Tiger Mask, as All Japan had purchased the rights of the Tiger Mask gimmick from New Japan Pro Wrestling.

On May 14, 1990, during a tag match against Yoshiaki Yatsu and Hiromichi Fuyuki, he told his partner (and future rival) Toshiaki Kawada to unmask him, thus abandoning the Tiger Mask gimmick. A few weeks later, Misawa defeated Jumbo Tsuruta in his first main event at Nippon Budokan. The match at the time was seen as a turning point in the history of All Japan, with Misawa being established as a major star. For the rest of the decade he was one of the biggest draws in Japanese wrestling.

Following the death of All Japan booker Giant Baba, Misawa inherited the position of president. After disagreements with widow Motoko Baba and
being removed by a board of executives in 2000, Misawa left All Japan Pro Wrestling; followed by natives Toshiaki Kawada and Masanobu Fuchi, and and two non-natives Stan Hansen and Maunakea Mossman to form Pro Wrestling Noah. Noah debuted on August 5, 2000, with shows that featured over 20 wrestlers that had resigned from All Japan.

On July 18, 2004, Misawa returned to All Japan to defeat Satoshi Kojima; he would also return once more on October 31, 2004 for the Keiji Mutoh
20th Anniversary: Love and Bump PPV, where he, along with Keiji Mutoh, defeated Hiroshi Hase and Kensuke Sasaki in what billed as a special dream match.

Up until his death, Misawa continued to wrestle a full-time schedule, competing mostly in tag matches. At the Nippon Budokan on December 10,
2006, he defeated Naomichi Marufuji to win his 3rd GHC Heavyweight Championship. On August 25, 2007 it was announced that Misawa would be
on the November Ring of Honor Glory by Honor cards in Philadelphia and New York City. The first night, he teamed with KENTA to face Takeshi Morishima and Naomichi Marufuji, wrestling to a thirty minute time-limit draw. The following night, he successfully defended the GHC Championship against KENTA.

On March 2, 2008 Misawa was defeated by Takeshi Morishima for the GHC Heavyweight Championship, ending his 16-month championship reign.

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk def. Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho (Non-title)

BILOXI, Miss. – With their battered bodies still feeling the effects of a brutal Extreme Rules, the SmackDown Superstars went to war again with their sights set on Monday’s WWE 3-For-All on Raw, where the World Heavyweight, WWE and ECW titles will all be contested. (VIDEO preview)

Edge def. Jeff Hardy (Disqualification) (PHOTOS | VIDEO)
With new World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk watching from the announce table, former champions Edge and Jeff Hardy battled it out in the night’s main event. At stake was a chance to face CM Punk for his title this Monday on Raw. The match was made at the start of the night by SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long (PHOTOS | VIDEO)

In a back-and-forth struggle, Hardy and Edge pushed themselves to the limits of endurance. As the action spilled to the arena floor, Edge tossed Hardy onto CM Punk, who was seated at the announce table. Mayhem then ensued, when Punk pursued Edge back in to the ring and assaulted him with a series of punches.

Realizing he lost the match due to Punk’s interference, an angry Jeff Hardy reigned down blows on Punk, then took out his frustration on Edge with a Twist of Fate. But it was the champion who had the final word when he destroyed Hardy with a Go to Sleep.

As Punk stood over the fallen former champions, GM Theodore Long made the blockbuster announcement from his office that it will be Edge vs. Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk in a Triple Threat Match on Raw for the World Heavyweight Championship. (Raw coverage)

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk def. Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho (Non-title) (VIDEO | PHOTOS)
Jericho has been angry for weeks over not being considered for an opportunity at the World Title. After expressing his displeasure to Teddy Long, the GM announced Jericho could face new champion CM Punk. So, just before joining the announce team for the main event, Punk took on Jericho one-on-one. Despite Jericho’s bold prediction, his guarantee for victory did not come true, as Punk dropped him with a Go to Sleep. The win was Punk’s first as new champion.

Dolph Ziggler def. The Great Khali (Count-out) (PHOTOS)
Up against a formidable foe in The Great Khali, Dolph Ziggler employed an interesting strategy to get the win. By grabbing hold of Khali’s interpreter, Ranjin Singh, and roughing him up, Ziggler knew he’d draw the attention of the 7-footer. With Singh in his grasp and Khali in pursuit, Ziggler waited until the last moment to jump back in the ring and avoid the referee’s 10-count.

Michelle McCool & Layla def. Women’s Champion Melina & Eve (PHOTOS | VIDEO)
Last week, Women’s Champion Melina was upset in a Six-Diva Tag Match. On this night, it was Layla’s partner, Michelle McCool, who delivered another loss to the champion by stunning her with a Faithbreaker.

R-Truth & John Morrison def. Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas (PHOTOS)
Four young and hungry Superstars put on a fantastic display of athleticism, but it was John Morrison who reigned supreme. The Friday Night Delight put away Charlie Haas with a Moonlight Drive followed up by the Starship Pain for the win.
