UNDERTAKER INJURY UPDATE by Mike Johnson @ 4:00:00 PM on 5/3/2007
WWE World champion The Undertaker will be undergoing surgery to repair a torn tendon in his biceps shortly, so it's expected he'll likely drop the championship at the next set of TV tapings. I am told that it could be 6-8 months before he's able to return to the ring.
"iMPACT!" RESULTS FROM THURSDAY, MAY 3, 2007 By Mike Kerrigan
The show opens up with Sting walking to the ring, only to be suprised by Kurt Angle holding a steel chair. After the two exchange some punches,Christian Cage comes out and gives the two a proposition - team up against Cage and AJ Styles and if one of them gets the pin, they get the title shot at Sacrifice. But if someone on Team Cage gets the pin, no one gets a title shot. Sting and Angle agree.
Backstage, Leticia is with Team 3D. Brother Ray says that they finally fulfilled their destiny. They are the only team in history to win every major tag team title in the wrestling world. Ray goes on to say that they will be defending champs and at Sacrifice they will defend against LAX and the team of Tomko and Scott Steiner. Tonight though, they look forward to getting in the ring with Rhino and Samoa Joe, and find out just how tough Joe is.
Joe and Brother give each other some stiff hard hitting shots, but the two keep going at it. Rhino eventually makes it into the ring, where Rhino hits a Gore on Ray, and gets set to hit Devon, but the Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels gets into the ring and hits everyone in sight with a baseball bat. Yet, Daniels didn't realize Joe was on the outside, and was met with a Coquina Clutch as he went up the ramp. Joe threw Daniels back into the ring, where he was hit with a headbutt to the groin by Team 3D and a Gore into a table from Rhino.
Jeremy Borash in the locker-room with Team Cage. AJ doesn't want to be "volunteered" for matches anymore. But Cage has a different perspective. He tells AJ that tonight, there's a phenomenal opportunity for AJ to become the number one contender for the NWA World Title. AJ quickly changes his mind set, gives Cage a hug, and walks out.
After the commercial break, we come back to a very angry Robert Roode who is demanding Eric Young come to the ring. Jim Cornette intervenes, and tells Roode that Eric was in breach of contract when he "signed" with Roode Inc. Therefore, Roode was tampering with contracted TNA talent and was in breach on contract himself. Roode did not take this kindly and shoved Cornette to the floor. Eric Young hit the ring and took it to Roode for a moment until Roode hit a DDT on Young. He then handcuffed Eric to a turnbuckle and smashed a guitar over his head. Yet, it was Cornette who had the last laugh when he told Robert Roode he would be facing the King of the Mountain Jeff Jarrett at Sacrifice.
A very strange video from James Mitchell is then shown where he had some cryptic messages for wrestling world. "It's time to move on to bigger and better things. Abyss is finished and Abyss has been replaced."
The No DQ TNA Knockout Match is next. with Jackie Moore squaring off against Gail Kim. The match was all out brutal as the fight went all over the arena, eventually ending up back into the ring where Gail Kim placed a garbage can over Jackie Moore and proceeded to hit the can with a huge stick; knocking out two of Jackie's teeth in the process. Jackie looked as if she grabbed the upper hand at the end of the match, but it was all for not when she went for a steel chair and got it dropkicked into her face and lost the match to Kim. James Storm came to the ring to help Moore beat down Kim, but Wildcat Chris Harris came down to make the save. But that wasn't all, Harris took off his eye patch and threw it at Storm as he ran away. Does this mean that Harris' vision is back to 100%?
In the continuation of last week's Paparazzi Production, we see what is entitled "Baffoonery: The Battle". The video sees Bob Backlund schooling Chris Sabin in some amateur wrestling, but Alex Shelley making the save. The two X-Division stars seemed to accomplished their goal in the video, as it looks like they stole what seemed to be Mr. Backlund's "Rule Book".
The main event is up as AJ Styles and Christian Cage take on Kurt Angle and Sting. Sting is in control early on in the match, but AJ is able to put a stop to it as he grabs Stings legs and with a little help from Cage, smashes Sting's groin into the turnbuckle. Somehow Sting recovers and hits a Scorpion Death Drop on Cage, but Angle breaks it up so he doesn't lose his shot for the title. After Angle and Sting hit AJ with a double slam, Sting tells Angle to go for the pin, but Cage is able to break up the count. Cage is then thrown over the top rope by Kurt. In the meantime, AJ goes for an enziguiri on Sting, but misses. As AJ lands on the mat, both Sting and Angle go for a Ankle Lock, and AJ taps out. Referee Rudy Charles says that AJ tapped to both men, and therefore Jim Cornette says "Both men win the title shot at Sacrifice and it will be a Triple Threat Match between Christian Cage, Kurt Angle, and Sting at Sacrifice." Sting and Kurt Angle stare down each other as Cage holds his title closely as iMPACT! ends.

Several sources are confirming that Rob Van Dam has turned down his latest contract offer to remain with World Wrestling Entertainment. As of now, his deal is set to expire over the summer (I believe but can not confirm late July) but until the deal has expired, there's always a chance that the two sides will come to terms. As of right now, I've heard that creative has been instructed to focus on CM Punk and Elijah Burke as the major players for the ECW brand so that if Van Dam does depart, it's not as strong of a blow to the ECW storylines.
Van Dam has been with WWE since July 2001 when he was brought in as part of the ECW end of the ill-fated Alliance contingent during the Invasion storyline. Van Dam has held just about every major WWE championship belt, although he was never pushed as a top performer for any extended period of time despite a large contingent of fan support, especially early in his tenure.
Should he leave the company, Van Dam's true legacy would be that he was the primary motivating factor in convincing Vince McMahon to revive Extreme Championship Wrestling for the 2005 ECW One Night Stand PPV event, which ironically, Van Dam missed due to a knee injury, although he did give the best promo of his career during the show.
When WWE decided to re-launch ECW as a third brand for the company in June 2006, Van Dam captured the WWE championship from John Cena and was then awarded the resurrected ECW World championship. The original plan was for Van Dam to have a long run with the ECW belt while dropping the WWE title, but those plans were tossed aside when he and Sabu were pulled over for speeding and later charged with possession of a controlled substance. Van Dam quickly dropped both belts and was suspended by the company. Upon his return, he remained a top-tier ECW player but the brand was no longer built around him.
Prior to his WWE run, Van Dam worked for the original Extreme Championship Wrestling from January 1996 through the end of the company's existence, although there were times towards the end of ECW that he took extended breaks from wrestling when the company wasn't able to pay him to perform. During his ECW run, he gradually graduated from undercard heel feuding with Sabu to the top babyface attraction of the latter years of the company. Van Dam also worked briefly for WCW under the moniker "Robby V" when Bills Watts was overseeing that company for Turner Broadcasting and toured All Japan Pro Wrestling.
Considered to be an extremely popular performer among die hard fans, Van Dam would be highly prized on the independent scene should he leave the company, particularly since he's had usage of the Rob Van Dam ring name from 1992 on and likely wouldn't be prevented from using it by World Wrestling Entertainment, as the former Dudley Boys, Team 3D have.

OFFICIAL TNA "iMPACT!" RESULTS FOR THURSDAY, APRIL 26 By Mike Kerrigan
The first ever meeting between Kurt Angle and Sting open up the broadcast. The two veterans go for their patented submissions early on, but to no avail. The fight eventually leads to the outside of the ring, when out of nowhere, Team Cage come down and attack both Angle and Sting. As Sting is put into the "Steiner Recliner" the rest of Team Cage beat Kurt Angle down with a steel chair. Christian Cage ends the beating with a vicious DDT on the steel chair.
During the commercial break, Kurt was wheeled out on a stretcher. Jeremy Borash catches up with Team Cage to get the comments on what they did. Cage says that it was his mission to take out Kurt Angle tonight and that he should have never tried to hot shot himself to a title shot. Don West then runs into the locker-room to give a message from Jim Cornette. He says that tonight it will be Cage vs. Sting for the NWA Title and if Team Cage tries to interfere, Sting will walk away the champ.
Next up is Sabin's 4-Way Suicidal Stampede; in which 4 teams of two square off, with the winning team getting a chance for the X-Division Title in a Triple Threat Match at Sacrifice. The teams were Alex Shelley and Kaz, Petey Williams and Jerry Lynn, Senshi and Sharkboy, and Black Machismo and Sonjay Dutt. The end of the match included some great X-Division action, seeing a spectacular top rope plancha from Senshi onto 4 opponents outside the ring. In the end, it was Sonjay Dutt and Black Machismo coming away with the victory. Yet Dutt was none too pleased that Machismo got the pinfall. It seems that Dutt is a little frustrated that he is not getting the same exposure as one Jay Lethal.
Robert Roode and Ms. Brooks are waiting in the ring to find out who Eric Young's "friend" is. Eric comes out and tells Roode "All I have is wrestling and you're trying to take that away from me. The only thing more important to me is my word, and that will never be broken." Roode slaps EY around to try and get the answer out of him, but Eric finally has enough and beats down Roode with countless punches. After Ms. Brooks slaps Eric, she is met with a huge powerbomb. Yet she is somehow able to give Showtime a lowblow when he goes to hit Roode again. Roode hits Eric with a chair and cuffs him. As Ms. Brooks holds Eric on his knees, Roode demands to know who the friend is by the count of 3 or Eric will have his brains scrambled. As Roode counts to 3, the all too familiar sirens blare through the arena and Jeff Jarrett comes to the ring, beats Roode down and tosses him out of the ring. Ms. Brooks tries for another lowblow, but Jeff grabs her hand and hits her with a guitar shot heard round the world. Maybe "Uncle Jeff" was a lot more loyal to Eric Young then anyone once thought.
The Tag Team Titles are up for grabs for the second week in a row, when Team 3D square off against Scott Steiner and Tomko. The expierience of Team 3D was a huge advantage in the match as it seemed to be very one sided. Steiner had control at one point, but was mistakenly thrown out of the ring by Hernandez of LAX. Then Homicide tried to hit Brother Ray with a hurricanrana, but landed on Tomko instead. Team 3D seized the opportunity and hit Tomko with the inverted 3D and retained their titles. After the match Steiner and Tomko had some choice words for LAX. The two teams had a quick brawl as Konnan told Tomko and Steiner "You're going to be our problem now."
A Paparazzi Production of "March of the Backlund" is shown where Alex Shelley is seen pestering Bob Backlund during his daily walk. Shelley asks Bob if he remembers his 9 second match with Keven Nash. Shelley follows up by telling Bob that most of the younger guys could probably beat him in 9 seconds. Bob seems like he is about to tell Alex off, but Alex shows him coins and trash on the ground. When Bob goes to pick them up, he finds the X-Division Title. Just then Sabin is seen trying to get the jump on Backlund but falls on his face. A sample of next week's video is then shown, where it looks like Sabin and Backlund are having an amatuer wrestling match on the side of the road.
Before the main event of Christian Cage and Sting can start, it is announced that Kurt Angle's neck has been stabilized, but he may have suffered a concussion. As Cage walked to the ramp, Sting brought the fight to him before the bell could even ring. Sting seemed to have the match won when he hit a "Scorpion Death Drop" on the champion, but Cage was somehow able to kick out. Sting then hit Cage with a superplex, but before he could make the pin, Kurt Angle came to the ring and attacked the referee and Christian Cage. The ref had no choice but to throw out the match, thus costing Sting his chance for the title. Kurt then grabbed Sting's baseball bat and chased down Cage, but it was Sting who snatched the bat away and hit Angle afterwards to end the show.
Six of the Sexiest Women on Television are the sexiest women to hit Timbalands latest music video. Ashley, Torrie, Maryse, Brooke, Layla and Kelly Kelly filmed the Throw it on Me video with Timbaland and The Hives at Universal Studios yesterday.
The Divas danced, had a fashion photo shoot and got in the ring for the Timb City theme video. What exactly is Timb City? Well, WWE fans, youll have to wait for the exclusive world premiere of the Throw it on Me video May 21 on Raw.
The reason I asked the Divas to be in my video was because I didnt want the typical casting for this. I wanted women who mean something, Timbaland told WWE.com The Divas have a fan base of their own. Theyre all stars. Each in their own way, they all mean something.
Each of the six Divas showcases their unique personalities in the video, through their sexy dance moves and one-of-a-kind outfits created by designer Jared Gold.
We love it. We play. We taunt. This is our moment. We get the opportunity to express ourselves, Layla said. To be a part of this, to be a part of Timbalands video is really amazing.
Laylas Extreme Expose partner, Brooke, said shes excited to appear in the music video, because shes never done anything like this before.
Were really lucky to get to work with such an amazing person like Timbaland. Hes a top producer, Brooke said. Plus we get to work with The Hives. This is a fun experience.
Maryse said the WWE Divas are a perfect fit for the Throw it on Me video.
I think the WWE Divas are very strong women, with strong personalities, so we fit the song, Maryse said. We need music with a lot of energy. It makes us want to move, want to dance and have fun.
Pelle Almqvist, lead singer of The Hives, is a WWE fan, so he was thrilled to work with the WWE Divas on his bands collaboration with Timbaland.
I think its a good thing the WWE Divas are in the video, said Almqvist. Theyre nice and theyre fun. Theyre great at wrestling, and they look good in the video.
In addition to WWE.com, E! and TV Guide covered the shoot at the Universal Studios soundstage. Overall, WWE is pleased with the way the video is turning out.
Timbaland is a long time fan of WWE. He came to Raw in Dayton, Ohio, and saw how beautiful and talented our current Divas are, and thought it would be great to use them for his video, said Kristin Prouty, WWEs vice president of Entertainment Relations. Timbaland is now thrilled that he picked the Divas for his video. The video is so hot, sexy and creative. Everyone is betting money on it winning a video music award.
