Negative story about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Today's Page Six in the New York Post has a brief story on Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson being annoyed by a security guard who wanted to get a picture of him for his son. "The guard said he wanted to get a picture for his son, who was a huge fan," the witness told the New York Post. "But The Rock got all annoyed and said he can't take pictures with everyone who asks. The best part is that when the guy said 'Fine, but my son isn't a fan anymore,' The Rock gave him his trademark stare!" To read the article in its entirety, go to NYPost.com.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – With WWE Bragging Rights just two days away, SmackDown’s Superstars took advantage of a final opportunity to build momentum for the massive pay-per-view encounter.

World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker def. CM Punk in a Submission Match (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The odds were stacked against World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker from the start. In CM Punk’s corner were referee Scott Armstrong and SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long, setting the stage for a repeat of what transpired at WWE Breaking Point. However, the champion took matters into his own hands to keep his coveted gold. After chokeslamming Armstrong and escaping Punk’s deadly Anaconda Vise, The Phenom locked The Straightedge Superstar in Hell’s Gate, forcing him to submit. Long looked visibly shaken at the outcome.

Stacking the deck (WATCH 1 | WATCH 2)
Prior to the night’s main event, Mr. McMahon met with Armstrong, Long and Punk to discuss The Straightedge Superstar’s match with The Phenom. Clearly, The Chairman has a strong interest in who holds the World Title. Will his influence carry over to the Fatal Four Way at WWE Bragging Rights? (Preview)

Co-captains' challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Kicking off the night were Team SmackDown co-captains Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho and Kane, who issued a stunning challenge to their team members – to keep their spots on the team, they needed to win a lopsided Nine-Man Tag Team Match right there on SmackDown!

Team SmackDown co-captains Jericho and Kane wielded their power in arranging this match of epic proportions. The winning team would join the elite “SmackDown Seven” at WWE Bragging Rights. The match itself – and its outcome – proved how fast big things can happen in WWE. After Finlay smashed JTG with his shillelagh, Matt Hardy dropped the Cryme Tyme member with a Twist of Fate to stamp his team’s ticket to join Jericho & Kane at WWE Bragging Rights. (Tag Team Match preview)

Intercontinental Champion John Morrison def. Mike Knox (PHOTOS | WATCH)
With his highly-anticipated match against The Miz just two days away, Intercontinental Champion John Morrison first had to do battle with big Mike Knox. The Friday Night Delight stood toe-to-toe with the formidable foe and eventually finished him off with Starship Pain. Does The Miz have what it takes to take on his former tag team partner and co-host of “The Dirt Sheet”? (Preview)

Rey Mysterio & Batista def. Chris Jericho & Kane (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Last week, the WWE Universe witnessed Rey Mysterio defeat Batista despite uncertainty on whether he was fully pinned. This week, Mysterio took a “hit” for Batista when he received the full brunt of a chokeslam from Kane instead of The Animal. Despite being crushed, the move proved to be a wise one for the masked superstar as it allowed his partner to deliver a vicious spear, dropping The Big Red Machine for the win.

Mickie James def. Layla (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Making her SmackDown debut since the tri-brand Divas trade, Mickie James picked up an impressive win over Layla. With James not in action at WWE Bragging Rights, how long before the former Raw Diva looks to make a statement on Friday nights? (SmackDown Divas vs. Raw Divas Tag Team Match preview)

Desmond Wolfe talks about TNA/WWE situation, more

The Daily Star in the UK has an interview up with new TNA star Desmond Wolfe. Here's a few highlights from the man formerly known as Nigel McGuinness.

On where the new name came from:

"Everyone is asking me where I got the name from - someone said Withnail and I - but Vince said he did an internet search of the most popular British names and came up with Desmond Wolfe!"

On getting to make his debut against Kurt Angle:

"Who gets the opportunity to come in on their first day and beat up Angle, I mean that's huge! Kurt has been great, just like everyone else - he's really open to ideas."

On whether he went to TNA because he failed a WWE medical screening:

"I had a clean bill of health from my orthopedic guy and my local doctor, so it's not about that. I don’t hold against anything against them, it was a business decision, and they were only doing what they think is best for them."

It should be noted that Nigel/Desmond never actually says in the interview why WWE made that "business decision" to not bring him in.

Kelly Kelly def. Gail Kim
Tommy Dreamer & Goldust def. Vladimir Kozlov & Ezekiel Jackson
Drew McIntyre & Eric Escobar def. Matt Hardy & R-Truth

With “WWE Superstars” airing on WGN America just days before WWE Bragging Rights, several Superstars and Divas stepped into the ring looking for their own reasons to brag.

Drew McIntyre & Eric Escobar def. Matt Hardy & R-Truth (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Though McIntyre and Escobar are relatively new to the SmackDown roster, the two young Superstars proved why they deserve to be on the Friday night team heading into this Sunday by defeating two notable opponents in Matt Hardy & R-Truth. Despite Hardy & Truth giving it their all, it was a distraction by Vickie Guerrero and a cheap shot by Escobar that made the difference, allowing McIntyre to hit a Double-Arm DDT on Matt and pick up the pin to earn his team the victory.

Tommy Dreamer & Goldust def. Vladimir Kozlov & Ezekiel Jackson (PHOTOS | WATCH)
In recent months, the team of Kozlov & Jackson has dominated Tuesday nights, but on this week’s “WWE Superstars,” The ECW Original & The Bizarre One showed that their opponents were still only human as Goldust caught Kozlov off-guard with the Golden Age and picked up the win for his team. Unfortunately for the victors, the spoils were not theirs to be had. Instead, The Moscow Mauler & “Big ‘Zeke” viciously attacked the duo following the match, reminding them that Kozlov & Jackson are looking to dominate the WWE, and have the means to do just that.

Kelly Kelly def. Gail Kim (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Just days before both Raw beauties join Divas Champion Melina to face SmackDown’s Women’s Champion Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix & Natalya at WWE Bragging Rights, Kelly was able to beat Gail in what might be seen as a warm-up match. Both ladies showed exactly why they are two of the three Divas representing Raw this Sunday, but in the end, a miscue by Gail left it open for Kelly Kelly to nail the Kelly Killer and get the 1-2-3 over her sexy, smart and powerful teammate.

Shad Gaspard explains Smackdown incident

Shad Gaspard of Cryme Tyme posted the following on his MySpace page regarding his getting ill and not wrestling this past Tuesday at the Smackdown taping:

Ok before this thing gets out of hands let me set the record straight. This past Monday I got sick
while traveling from Mexico to the US. On Tuesday my symptoms increased drastically to body pains, headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea. I tried several over the counter medicines that temporarily worked, but didn’t help in the long run.

Finally I went to or WWE doctor who prescribed to give me a shot of Phenergan, which should have worked. Unforchantly it made me drowsy and brought on cold chills. The office thought it best I leave than try to perform. I spent Tuesday night in my hotel room vomiting and dealing with bad diarrheaa all night (Trust me no one ells was near or around me). When I got back home I dealt with the same symptom all day as my girl helped me get better bye taking what our family physician
prescribed, and getting rest.....

I’ve never let being sick ever keep me from performing, I’ve worked sick, hurt, and injured before on live events, TV tapings, and Pay Per Views, I just never let no one excluding my partner know how I felt or what I was going through. I apologies to my tag team partner, the participants in my match and the WWE universe, I should have found out all the information about what was given to me before I took it, and prevented my self from getting sick in the first place.

I take full responsibility for what happened and I’m sorry. In our industry there is a tradition that the show must go on no mater what, and I feel I have betrayed that tradition bye not performing last Tuesday. The greatest joy in my life is performing in the WWE (Win, Lose or Draw), I love what I do, and I will never let something like this happen agene.

Sincerely
Shad Gaspard

Edge reveals when his contract is expiring

Edge called into the Bubba the Love Sponge Show yesterday and said the Achilles tendon tear he suffered back in July was the most painful injury of his career yet. He added he does not know yet when he will be able to return to the ring.

During his appearance, Bubba asked him when his contract with WWE expires, to which he replied next June. He said while he's a homegrown guy, "he likes competition." However, he then made sure to note that "WWE is the NFL of wrestling."

When asked about Shane McMahon leaving the company, he said he was really surprised. He said it's really hard to work with Vince McMahon and be his son at the same time.

Edge put over Christian, John Cena and Randy Orton. He said watching Orton is like watching a horror show, but in a good way. He also feels Cena is a workhorse and having Christian on ECW was a good move.

When asked to comment on former flame Lita, he simply said she's out of the business.

More on the reaction to Shane McMahon leaving

Credit: F4WOnline.com

As of this week, nobody who is talking within WWE has any idea what caused Shane McMahon's resignation from WWE or what he plans on doing next. People who worked under Shane are said to be shocked and devastated, saying it came completely out of left field. The department that Shane was in charge of always has had great morale and word is that all the good morale plummeted on Friday when the announcement came out. A lot of people were very worried about their future with the company and there was talk that layoffs might be coming.

Shane was flooded with calls over the weekend and he pretty much told everyone the same thing he said in his official statement. It is very likely that the only people who know what is going on are Shane, Vince McMahon and perhaps Linda or Stephanie. Even people who spoke with Triple H had the impression that he didn't know really what went down.
