-- Stone Cold Steve Austin's next film project, titled "Damage", will focus on an illegal underground fighting community. The project is not a WWE Studios film. Austin is playing the lead role of John Brickner, a recently paroled convict who is forced into the groups. The film will commence filming on 10/17 in the Vancouver, British Columbia area, directed by Jeff King from a script by Frank Hannah.
-- Undertaker was noticeably limping in the ring during certain spots in his matches on the overseas tour last week as one of his knees is bothering him. Taker had arthroscopic surgery during his time off and his knee was in worse shape than first thought. Additionally, he's in the beginning stages of arthritis. Following surgery, the expectation was that he'd be ready to return for good at his Hell in a Cell match with Edge at SummerSlam, but he took a few more weeks off from doing anything physical. Despite the lingering injury, he's still being booked on house shows in tag matches and his TV taping dark matches are usually kept short. It's been noted that he's often in tremendous pain backstage, but never complains about it and usually doesn't show it in the ring.
Jeff Hardy doesn't appear to be in any serious trouble following an incident at the Nashville International Airport two weeks ago, reports prowrestling.NET. An airport official deemed Hardy too intoxicated to take a flight home, and he wasn't allowed to board his scheduled flight as a result. A number officials breathed sighs of relief as some feared it was something more serious. However, the incident didn't help his standing in the company obviously, but it didn't really hurt it. Also, a number of his friends haven't noticed any signs to indicate that he's slipping back into his old habits, although, there were no red flags when he failed a drug test earlier in the year either.
Chicago Bears Legend Steve McMichael Returns To The Wrestling Ring At Bound For Glory IV In Chicago
Steve McMichael is returning to the world of professional wrestling!
McMichael, the popular, charismatic former Chicago Bears defensive tackle who was a full-time pro wrestler for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in the late-1990s, will be a Special Guest Referee at TNAs Bound For Glory IV set for Sunday, Oct. 12, from the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill.
TNA Wrestling President Dixie Carter said McMichaels role at Bound For Glory IV will be to maintain peace, if at all possible, in the Monsters Ball match, featuring four tag teams: TNA World Tag Team Champions Beer Money, Team 3D, The Latin American Xchange, and the tandem of The Blueprint Matt Morgan and Abyss.
The Monsters Ball match at Bound For Glory has the potential to be one of the violent, out of control wrestling matches ever held inside TNAs six-sided ring, Carter said. Steve McMichael is a Chicago icon with a solid pro wrestling past. We knew he was one of the only Chicagoans possibly qualified to potentially maintain order in this match. Were thrilled Steve accepted our offer to be part of TNAs biggest pay-per-view of the year.
The event will be available on InDemand, DirecTV, Dish Network, TVN, Viewer's Choice Canada and more. Call your local cable or satellite provider for availability.
The "Bound For Glory IV" weekend kicks off Oct. 11 with TNA's popular Fan Interaction, where fans will get to meet the in-ring stars of TNA, get their autograph and have a photo taken alongside the stars of TNA. Tickets are available at ShopTNA.com
Many have described Kevin Nash's current situation with TNA as very weird as those within TNA stated Nash did fax a contract back to the company last week and key people internally were told he signed. Nash stated on last week's In Your Head radio show that he has yet to sign a new deal with TNA.
The feeling was that TNA could have been starting an angle when they pulled his profile from the website, although that doesn't appear to be likely. The other scenario is that Nash did fax the contract back and didn't agree to merchandising terms, although that isn't clear right now either. The belief among many within TNA is that Nash has signed and will remain with the company as it appears he has agreed to most terms and is simply telling friends he hasn't signed officially yet.

(PHOTOS) Adamle explained to the WWE Universe that earlier in the evening, he told Kane he would grant a request to him if the Big Red Monster won his match. Since Kane was indeed victorious, Adamle added a stipulation to the 7-footers match against Rey Mysterio: If the Ultimate Underdog is defeated, he must remove his mask in the middle of the ring. Directly afterward, Adamle was interrupted by Randy Orton, demanding that the GM re-suspend CM Punk. Before he could finish, however, JBL made his entrance, taking exception to the Legend Killers certainty that he will once again become World Heavyweight Champion.

Jamie Noble & Mickie James def. Paul & Katie Lea Burchill when Jamie forced Paul to tap out. (PHOTOS) Earlier in the night, Jamie Noble searched for a tag team partner for his match against the Burchill siblings, but was turned down by Jillian, who went so far as to mock the Superstar with her rendition of Becks Loser.

Just prior to the match, things got even worse for Noble as the 2008 King of the Ring and Nobles rival for Laylas affections William Regal took a seat on the entranceway, with the lovely Diva at his side.

Latest on Batista taking time off Credit: Wrestling Observer
- Batista did request to take some time off shortly after Wrestlemania 24, but was talked out of it due to a lack of depth on the WWE talent roster. Apparently Batista feels he will never return to his status three years ago when he was the hottest star in the company, and his program with Triple H was a box office success. Batista has also talked about trying his luck in Hollywood.
WWE Monday Night RAW drew a 3.1 rating this week, up from the 2.6 the show drew last week. The first hour drew a 3.01, and the second hour drew a 3.09.
This Monday Night Football rating dropped from a 13.3 last week to an 8.9 this week, allowing for WWE to bounce back somewhat. Nevertheless, RAWs numbers are still down compared to what the show had been doing before football season. Fall competition from the NFL is nothing new to WWE, and they havent suffered a ratings drop like last weeks since before the Attitude era.
SmackDown superstar MVP did a Q&A with USA Today to promote WWE's move to MyNetworkTV next week. When asked what WWE superstar from the past or present that he'd like to wrestle, he said The Rock.

Finlay def. Bam Neely Maryse def. Divas Champion Michelle McCool Non-title Mike Knox def. Chase Stevens John Morrison vs. The Miz Double count-out
COLUMBUS, OH - After The Dirt Sheets John Morrison and The Miz (WATCH "The Dirt Sheet") were forced to battle each other until neither Superstar could answer the referees count on ECW on Sci Fi, the undefeated Ricky Ortiz emerged to leave them both in the dust. (WATCH ECW's QUICK CUT)
The fuse was lit early on when the self-proclaimed Chick Magnet and the Tuesday Night Delight emerged with tremendous criticism of ECW General Manager Theodore Longs New Superstar Initiative, being particularly critical of Ortiz and fellow Initiative Superstar Evan Bourne. But, after proclaiming that either one of them could beat any other Superstar, Long thought it would be fitting that Miz and Morrison get in the ring against one another, with the winner facing Ortiz immediately afterward.
However, things never got that far. After Miz and Morrison grappled to an intense double count-out, leaving no opponent for Ortiz to face, the young Superstar refused to be denied. He emerged with gusto, splashing both of his potential adversaries and showing them just how tough Longs new Superstars really are. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Strong words from a strong man Mark Henry appeared before the WWE Universe with some very strong words for ECW Champion Matt Hardy, reminding the WWE Universe that he has never been pinned by the reigning champion.

Irish eyes are smashing Chavo Guerrero was absent from ECW on Sci Fi after apparently being attacked by The Undertaker on SmackDown.

Last week, one source described his signing as "imminent." Mysterio also had talks with the AAA promotion out of Mexico. They were offering him a three-movie deal as they had an idea to make Mysterio a modern day version of El Santo - who was a movie star in Mexico as well as a legendary wrestler.

CM Punk def. World Tag Team Champion Cody Rhodes Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella def. Deuce in a non-title match Kane def. Evan Bourne Kelly Kelly def. Women's Champion Beth Phoenix in a non-title match The Miz & John Morrizon def. Cryme Tyme World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, JBL & Lance Cade def. Shawn Michaels & Batista
CINCINNATI Since July, General Manager Mike Adamle has been allowed to run Raw as he sees fit, but on Monday night, on Raws historic 800th episode, Shane McMahon made a surprise appearance, reversing one of Adamles decisions, and setting both the tone for the night and its main event: World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho & JBL vs. Shawn Michaels & Batista. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
The contest presaged two of the most anticipated matches of No Mercy: World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels in a Ladder Match for the title, and Batista vs. JBL with No. 1 contender status being bestowed upon the winner. However, as is typical of Jerichos underhanded dealings, he convinced Adamle to exercise his authority and change the match set by Shane McMahon. The GM added the World Heavyweight Champions protégé, Lance Cade, as a third member of Jericho & JBLs team, tilting things in their favor. Though Michaels is known for fighting back against incredible odds, it was just too much for him, as his former student, Cade, pinned him, winning the match. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Monster mash Though Kane was already scheduled to face off against ECWs Evan Bourne, that wasnt enough for him, as he approached GM Adamle, stating that he also wanted to face Rey Mysterio, who had been aided by Bourne in past weeks to cut the Big Red Monster down to size. With Shane McMahon looking on, Adamle granted the 7-footers request, setting Rey Mysterio vs. Kane as another one of the scintillating matches at No Mercy.
Though Air Bournes high-flying maneuvers had taken out Kane in the past, this week they just werent enough. The Big Red Monster defeated the ECW Superstar, and continued to beat on him even after the bell rang. Kanes No Mercy opponent, Rey Mysterio rushed to the ring to help Bourne, but even the Master of the 619 couldnt put a stop to the Big Red Monsters rampage. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Hit the Rhodes, Jack While many Superstars are focused on No Mercy, some still have their minds set on Unforgiven. CM Punk had some words to share with Randy Orton because of the punt to the head he received courtesy of the Legend Killer, which ultimately caused him to lose the World Heavyweight Championship at Unforgiven. Despite the third-generation Superstars warning that anyone who touches him will be suspended by Mike Adamles decree, Punk hit the smug Orton anyway. Before the GM could suspend him though, Shane McMahon the fourth-generation Superstar pulled rank and reversed Adamles decision, then set a match between CM Punk and World Tag Team Champion Cody Rhodes.
Punk was victorious in the match-up, but directly afterward, Rhodes second-generation allies, fellow World Tag Team Champion Ted DiBiase and Manu, rushed the ring with ill intent. Before much damage could be done however, Kofi Kingston joined the fray, and helped Punk chase their adversaries from the ring. (PHOTOS)
Glam slam Though he was still nursing an injured face and bruised pride after his confrontation with Batista last week, Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella went on to defeat Deuce, continuing his not-yet-impressive five-week run holding the title. Before the match, however, Batista caught the Italian champion and his ladyfriend, Womens Champion Beth Phoenix, talking bad about him. Their loose lips would come back to haunt them later in the night, when The Glamazon took on Kelly Kelly. (PHOTOS)
In spite of the Womens Champions superior strength, Kelly Kelly scored a pin due to a botched distraction from Santino. Looking to exact revenge, the combined Glamarella were about to brutalize Kelly after the match when Batista himself ran in, spearing the Intercontinental Champion and defending the Diva.
Hard Tyme In one of Raws two tag team match-ups, Cryme Tyme squared off against former WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison. The contest was a result of the two teams taking shots at one another in their WWE.com Exclusive web-shows: Cryme Tymes Word Up and The Dirt Sheet with Miz & Morrison. Though Shad & JTG had hoped to shut up the arrogant ECW Superstars, it was the Shaman of Sexy & the self-proclaimed chick magnet who stood tall, picking up the win. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Mr. (Im)Perfect Continuing his habit of impersonating other WWE Superstars, Charlie Haas took the opportunity to pay tribute to one of his heroes, WWE Hall of Famer Mr. Perfect. In an attempt to replicate some of Curt Hennigs famous athletic feats, Haas disguised himself as Mr. Perfect and played basketball, shot pool, danced, boxed and played air hockey poorly.
According to a fan in attendance at last night's SmackDown tapings in Columbus, Ohio, Undertaker appeared to aggravate a knee injury during the dark match main event.
He was attacked by Curt Hawkins, Zach Ryder and Bam Neely during his match with Big Show, but eventually cleared the ring. He posed for the crowd and walked for a few minutes before momentarily sitting down on the ring steps before heading to the back.
"Honestly, he looked pretty bad off," the fan in attendance said. "He was sitting there like he was so exhausted he couldn't make it up the ramp. He finally walked up the ramp, but he was limping pretty badly. It wasn't a little limp, it was very noticeable."
Of course, he could be selling the injury, but he was playing to the crowd before sitting down.
As reported earlier, he recently had his knee checked by doctors and WWE has been limiting his involvement in the ring since his match with Edge at SummerSlam. Taker has been appearing on television in non-wrestling segments and has been working tag matches for the most part so that his partner could handle most of the work in the ring. Undertaker has been telling friends that his knee is still tender and that there is some soreness.
