Controversy In KOTM Qualifier - News From Thursday's "iMPACT!" Impact Results
June 7th, 2007 22:00 NEWS FROM THURSDAYS HUGE iMPACT! ON SPIKE TV By Bill Banks
There are several news items to report from Thursdays iMPACT! broadcast as TNA Wrestling prepares for the June 17 Slammiversary Pay-Per-View event live from Nashville, Tennessee! Tickets are still available via Ticketmaster.com!
HARRIS AND STORM BATTLE TO COUNTOUT IN KOTM QUALIFIER On Thursdays iMPACT!, former tag team partners turned bitter enemies Wildcat Chris Harris and Cowboy James Storm collided in another King Of The Mountain qualifying bout. However, both TNA stars were counted out during the bloody and chaotic melee after Harris speared Storm through the entrance ramp! Now, everyone is wondering how TNA management director Jim Cornette plans to address the situation. Following the bout, two more longtime enemies reignited their feud as Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle and The Samoan Submission Machine brawled after watching the main event unfold.
CHRISTIAN CAGE AND TOMKO APPARENTLY RESOLVE THEIR DIFFERENCES Also on Thursday, Tomko arrived looking to find Christian Cage for costing him his KOTM qualifier and later found him trying to hide in disguise. Confronted by Tomko, Cage told him that he was the one who brought him into wrestling. He was the one who got him a job in TNA and gave him a taste of stardom. Cage also made the argument to Tomko that it was his own fault he didnt use the chair on AJ Styles the week prior! Cage finally asked Tomko - "So are you with me or not?" Tomko released Cage and walked off, apparently seeing his point of view. Speaking of Cage, as iMPACT! went off the air, The Instant Classic was demanding to know who his opponent will be next week in the King Of The Mountain qualifying match.
OTHER NEWS ITEMS FROM THURSDAYS IMPACT!:
- In an attempt to resolve their ongoing feud, Sting and The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels came face to face to discuss the situation on iMPACT!. With Mike Tenay moderating, Daniels told Sting he was only following his own words - wrath, consequences and pain. In turn, Sting told Daniels he had it all wrong - that wasn't what he meant by their talks. Daniels finally resolved to "make things right" with Sting, as both TNA stars parted ways amicably.
- During Thursdays Jerry Lynn vs. Robert Roode bout, Ms. Brooks once again interfered costing Lynn the bout in favor of Roode. This brought out TNA management director Jim Cornette, who ordered Ms. Brooks to face Gail Kim on the broadcast. Brooks later attacked Gail in the backstage makeup room, leading to the battle inside the ring. In the end, it was Gail getting the win over Brooks - but Robert Roode hit the ring irate and confronted her. Ms. Brooks blindsided her opponent and continued the punishment. After the beating, Roode told Ms. Brooks to raise his hand in victory!
- Also on the broadcast, Sonjay Dutt revealed to Kevin Nash and Black Machismo Jay Lethal his new outlook on his wrestling career. Claiming he had discovered his true nature, Dutt is now a man of peace in TNA Wrestling and will introduce Nash and Lethal to his newest form of meditation to prepare Black Machismo for his upcoming X Championship match at Slammiversary. According to Dutt - "This is the new Sonjay Dutt...'The Guru' Sonjay Dutt."

Results:Chairman falling deeper and deeper into the abyss
By Bryan Robinson
June 5, 2007
ORLANDO, Fla. As our fans saw on Raw Monday night, the loss of the ECW World Title at One Night Stand left Mr. McMahon unhinged. He was incoherent at times, eyes bulging one minute and then gazing off into oblivion the next minute. Tonight, he returned to ECW on Sci Fi and was focused on getting revenge on the man who was responsible for driving him to the brink of insanity, new ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley.
Mr. McMahon forced Lashley to face ECW Originals Tommy Dreamer, Sandman and Balls Mahoney in a 3-on-1 Handicap Hardcore Match. The Originals had no choice but to compete in the match there was speculation that they would have faced the maniacal Chairmans wrath or possible firing if they refused.
The contest between Lashley and Dreamer, Sandman and Mahoney was a war. No one was afraid to use weapons, no matter how much respect they had for one another. Meanwhile, the Chairman seemed even more unstable than before, sitting in a rocking chair stone-faced. But perhaps most disturbing was his reaction when Lashley prevailed once again, foiling McMahons attempt at retribution.
One faction that sought retribution and possibly some redemption tonight was the New Breed. After losing a Six-Man Tag Team Tables Match to CM Punk, Dreamer & Sandman at One Night Stand, Elijah Burke, Marcus Cor Von & Matt Striker knew that tonight was possibly their last night as a unit because of the upcoming WWE Draft. Burke & Cor Von took on the Major Brothers, who upset Cor Von & Striker several weeks ago. The brother duo put up a courageous fight, but the New Breed leader and his enforcer overwhelmed them with a ferocious onslaught.
Striker was less successful than his teammates. ECWs resident teacher was determined to teach a lesson to New Breed nemesis CM Punk. But Striker whose less-than-stellar win-loss record has caused some tension between him and his New Breed brethren came up short against the Straightedge Superstar, who was saluted by his legion of fans who may have seen their hero for the last time on ECW on Sci Fi. Punk smiled and gazed in awe as the crowd at the Amway Arena chanted, CM Punk! CM Punk!
One former New Breed member who may be looking forward to the Draft is Kevin Thorn, who has left a bloody trail of destruction since he left the faction. Thorn has been looking for new blood, and whether he stays on ECW or is drafted to Raw or SmackDown, he is guaranteed to get it. Tonight, he continued his winning streak against Stevie Richards. The ECW pioneer gave the fanged freak everything he could handle, but Thorn ultimately overwhelmed him with his power and the Original Sin.
SCOTT STEINER SUFFERS TRACHEA INJURY by Mike Johnson @ 12:25:00 AM on 6/5/2007
One of the top matches for the TNA Slammiversary PPV may need to be changed as Scott Steiner, who was scheduled to reunite with his brother Rick to challenge TNA Tag Team champions Team 3D suffered a neck injury over the weekend at the TNA house show in Puerto Rico. The injury is believed to be to Steiner's trachea and he's scheduled to undergo surgery.
While we are still trying to confirm how long he'll be out of the ring, PWInsider.com can confirm Steiner will miss this weekend's scheduled bouts for Hermie Sadler's UWF in Philadelphia and Maryland. The UWF is already working on ideas for a new main event.

SCOTT STEINER SUFFERS INJURY IN PUERTO RICO, CURRENTLY IN SURGERY By: Bob Ryder 6/5/2007 1:56:42 AM
Scott Steiner suffered a fractured trachea in a match Sunday night in San Juan. Steiner was teaming with Cowboy James Storm in a tag match against Jeff Jarrett and Apolo. Near the end of the match Apolo caught Steiner in the throat with a superkick. Following the match Steiner was experiencing discomfort in his throat, but thought everything would be ok. A few hours later, at the hotel, he experienced breathing problems and began to cough up blood. He was taken to a San Juan hospital and was diagnosed with a fractured trachea.
Steiner is currently in surgery to repair the damage and the surgery is expected to last a couple of hours. He was advised by doctors to have the surgery in San Juan rather than risk flying home with the damage to his trachea.

June 4, 2007
TAMPA, Fla. Superstars leaving the Raw locker room Monday night were abuzz about Mr. McMahons odd behavior. One said he appeared a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
Others thought McMahons eyes looked vacant like the lights were on, but no one was home. He mentioned an ominous feeling and a black cloud that was following him all night, but no one seemed to understand what he was talking about.
Fact is, if you had gold around your waist Monday night, or had golden locks of hair, you were a target for Mr. McMahon, who appeared to be suffering traumatic effects from losing his ECW World Title at One Night Stand.
Could the boss have suffered brain damage from Bobby Lashleys blows on Sunday? Or was there something more devious on the mind of McMahon?
First, WWE Champion John Cena was victim to the Chairman, who accused The Champ of mocking him for losing his title. He then put Cena in a Triple Threat Match against Umaga and The Great Khali, which he survived.
Next, McMahon bumped into Santino Marella, who chastised the Chairman for yelling at Maria. That rebuke got Marella placed immediately in an impromptu Intercontinental Championship title defense against Chris Masters, in which the Italian wonder came out victorious.
McMahon saw The Hardys shiny World Tag Team Championships, and put them in a title defense against Cade & Murdoch, who capitalized on the weakened Carolina brothers to steal the gold away, ending their two-month title reign.
And then, the Chairmans coup de grace was his meeting with Ric Flair and Torrie Wilson in the arena hallway. After the pair made the mistake of giggling at McMahon, the former champion made the injured Wilson face former boyfriend Carlito, and made the 16-time World Champion square off with the Legend Killer Randy Orton.
Torrie met Carlito in the ring, and at first, the apple-toting Superstar seemed to show pity. He allowed the injured Diva to walk away and take a count-out loss once the bell rang. But as she turned her back to walk away, Carlito threw her to the mat. Then he picked her up and gave her a Backstabber to earn the disgraceful victory.
Flair tried to fend off Orton, but the Legend Killer conquered the Nature Boy with an RKO and a devestating kick to the head.
The only match that McMahon didnt mess with was another victory for Diva Candice Michelle, who teamed with Cryme Tyme to top the team of Melina, Johnny Nitro and Kenny Dykstra. It was Candices fourth straight win over the Womens Champion in as many weeks.
However, next weeks WWE Draft might be just the thing to help the Chairman recover from his clouded condition. McMahon had Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman announce that the three-hour selection spectacular from Wilkes-Barre, Pa., will also be Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night.
A heaping helping of praise for Mr. McMahon could snap the boss funk and better his mood in time for the excitement of the WWE Draft on Raw next week.

Less than 24 hours before Extreme Rules prevail at One Night Stand, Superstars from Raw, SmackDown and ECW battled in a proverbial circus of extremes that ranged from the biggest, the smallest, the strangest and the strongest. The result: one of the wildest editions of Saturday Nights Main Event in WWE history.
The biggest focused on none other than the 7-foot-3, 420-pound Great Khali, who seriously downsized WWE Champion John Cena in non-title competition before their Pinfalls Count Anywhere Match Sunday night. Despite besting the behemoth at Judgment Day by making him tap out to the STFU, The Champ has been measurably manhandled since (many say foolishly) challenging Khali to a rematch at One Night Stand. Saturday Nights Main Event proved no different. Cenas attempts to mount an offense highlighted by two failed efforts to heave the mammoth up in the FU only produced colossal elbows and size 18EEEE boots to his face, a giant chop across his skull and a monstrous chokeslam that laid him out. Khalis insultingly nonchalant pinfall victory over The Champ left our shocked fans asking the biggest question of all: If Cena cant hit the FU, how can he possibly pin Khali anywhere at One Night Stand?
SNMEs smallest altercation was anything but belittling for Hornswoggle and Little Boogeyman, whose tiny tete-a-tete on SmackDown Friday night once again drew Finlay and Boogeyman into their growing (?) rivalry. Early in the tag contest, the worm-eating wildmen from the Bottomless Pit threatened to walk tall, but Hornswoggles stunted shenanigans would eventually exploit the twin freaks short attention spans. Boogeyman would chase the spooked leprechaun up the entrance ramp, allowing Finlay to connect with a big boot to Little Boogeys face and pick up the three-count. The pitter-patter of panicked little feet rampaged around the arena hallway soon afterward, as an angry Little Boogeyman chased Hornswoggle back out to the ring and effectively cut short Extreme Exposes performance to Timbalands Throw it on Me. The leprechaun and mini-maniac earned huge cheers from the crowd when they next hoisted Brooke and Layla on their respective shoulders, prompting the bewildered beauties to playfully engage in a catfight (or in the case of these tiny terrors, a kitty-diddy).
Amazingly, SNMEs strangest encounter of the evening was an eclectic Six-Man Tag Match that seemed torn from the pages of Ripleys Believe it or Not, in which Umaga, Viscera & Kevin Thorn battled Kane, a superhero outfit-clad Eugene and the returning Doink the Clown. Despite early in-ring antics from Raws wrestling savant and WWEs classic horn-honking jokester, freakish fortune seemed to favor the Samoan Bulldozer, the Worlds Largest Love Machine and ECWs bloodsucking Superstar until SmackDowns Big Red Monster tagged in. Unleashing pure hell against the adversarial trio, Kanes bone-jarring chokelsam on the 500-pound Viscera powered his team to victory, and undoubtedly sent a chilling message to Mark Henry, his opponent at One Night Stand. The 380-pound strongman may have the mass going into their Lumberjack Match Sunday night, but the Big Red Monster is more than ready to deliver the mayhem.
Of course, Henry may not have received Kanes message, since he was helping ECW World Champion Mr. McMahon deliver one to Bobby Lashley. Moments before the strongest portion of Saturday Nights Main Event an Arm-Wrestling Contest took place, the self-professed Doctor of Hardcore suddenly bowed out. Rationalizing that hed get to embarrass Lashley at One Night Stand, Mr. McMahon decided to name Henry as his arm-wrestling replacement. Needless to say, it was all just a ploy for the Worlds Strongest Man to strong-arm Lashley, and allow the Worlds Strongest McMahon to demoralize his challenger less than 24 hours before their Street Fight for the ECW World Title. All signs point to Mr. McMahon having the last laugh Sunday night; can Lashley somehow curb the ego-centric Chairmans enthusiasm, and reclaim the ECW World Title?
Prior to SNMEs Tag Team Match against Batista & Chris Benoit, World Heavyweight Champion Edge informed Raw Diva Maria that he wasnt the biggest, the smallest, the strangest or the strongest. What I am, he claimed, is the greatest. If by that he meant nervously escaping up the ramp and leaving his partner United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter high and dry, then no ones better than the ultimate opportunist. Now mere hours away from meeting Batista inside a Steel Cage at One Night Stand, Edge looked more than a little shell-shocked to discover that The Animals heavily taped right hamstring (a well-documented injury resulting from three brutal encounters with Undertaker) no longer showed signs of hampering his awesome power. Therefore, the Rated-R Superstar decided to leave MVP to the not-so-tender mercies of Batista and the Rabid Wolverine, whose flying headbutt off the top rope secured the win. Hell have nowhere to run at One Night Stand, however; locked in the cage with a now-healthy Animal chomping at the bit, it may, in fact, be Edges last stand as champion.

Results:Draft patterns

June 1, 2007
LONDON, ONTARIO, Canada In a highly tumultuous week for sports-entertainment, the Superstars of SmackDown headed toward Saturday Nights Main Event and then One Night Stand with the imminent tri-branded draft circling their thoughts. Championships and rivalries may all have to take a back seat after the blockbuster announcement of the draft and no Superstar, Diva or leprechaun is safe when the draft takes place in less than two weeks on Raw.
One man who remains focused heading into One Night Stand is the No. 1 contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, Batista. World Heavyweight Champion Edge attempted to play some mind games with Batista on the SmackDown debut of The Cutting Edge, but The Animal would not allow the ultimate opportunist to get into his head, instead delivering a verbal and physical message of his own. The Rated-R Superstar and Batista go one-on-one in a 15-foot high steel cage this Sunday on pay-per-view.
Looking to deliver his own message to Kane (one of the participants in Saturday Nights Main Event as one of the strangest), the Worlds Strongest Man Mark Henry viciously assaulted the Big Red Monster in singles competition. These two mammoths will now face off at One Night Stand in a Lumberjack Match, and if their SmackDown match was any indication, Henry and Kane may need more than the lumberjacks to contain them.
Making her mark felt on SmackDown is the new Assistant General Manager Vickie Guerrero. On her first day on the job, Vickie was instrumental in making the Lumberjack Match between Kane and Mark Henry. General Manager Theodore Long praised Vickie for her efforts, and then addressed the worries of his girlfriend, Kristal. Long eased Kristals concerns of being drafted away from her boyfriend by telling her that he would give up everything to be with her.
In other SmackDown action, Deuce & Domino successfully defended their WWE Tag Team Championship in a Triple Threat Tag Match, defeating Paul London & Brian Kendrick and William Regal & Dave Taylor. Triple threat rules were in effect, as only two competitors were allowed in the ring at one time, although they could tag anyone they chose. The win for the men from the Other Side of the Tracks did not come without controversy, as Deuces girlfriend and Dominos sister Cherry got involved just when it seemed it was London & Kendricks night, helping secure the win for her boys.
When it comes to securing victories, nobody has been hotter than Matt Hardy. He teamed with Chris Benoit to take on the team of the United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter and The Miz. Benoits issues with MVP have not ended, and the Wolverine took his hostility out on The Miz, forcing the recently aggressive youngster to tap to the Crossface. The U. S. Champ MVP and Benoit will stare across the ring at each other again tomorrow night at Saturday Nights Main Event in more tag action, when Benoit teams with Batista to take on Porter & World Heavyweight Champion Edge.
One Diva who is feeling the thrill of success is Michelle McCool, who arrived at SmackDown after winning the Memorial Day Bikini Beach Blast Battle Royal on Raw. The rivalry between McCool and Jillian has been brewing since the tone-deaf Diva attacked Ashley, and McCool was able to pick up another victory over the wannabe pop princess when Ashley distracted Jillian.
Finally, two Superstars who wont give each other an inch of breathing room are Hornswoggle and Little Boogeyman. The two will participate at Saturday Nights Main Event as part of the smallest attraction when Hornswoggle teams with Finlay, and Little Boogeyman teams with Boogeyman. As a warm-up, the two squared off in singles action, with Finlays leprechaun using the Tadpole Splash after a shillelagh shot from the Irishman to win the match with Boogeymans mini-sized minion.
But looking beyond Saturday night, given Shane McMahons claims that no one is safe from the draft; could Finlay & Hornswoggle be headed separate ways?
OFFICIAL TNA iMPACT! RESULTS FOR MAY 31, 2007 By Mike Kerrigan
iMPACT! opens with Jim Cornette in the ring, explaining that due to family issues, Jeff Jarrett has decided to take himself out of the King of the Mountain qualifying matches. Just as Jim is about to make another announcement, Christian Cage and the Christian Coalition make their way to the ring. Cage demands that AJ be declared the winner, but knows that Cornette wont do that and that Cornette does everything bad for TNA. Cornette then says I was actually going to do just that, but since I do everything wrong for TNA, Ive changed my mind. AJ Styles will now face Tomko in the KOTM qualifier. Cage and company are livid, but Cage turns his attention to finding out who his opponent would be. Cornette tells him not to worry about that because Cage has said that this person was beneath him and not even in his league.
Backstage Jeremy Borash is with the Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels. JB asked Daniels what was going on with Sting. Daniels replies I went to Sting for enlightenment. He told me to embrace my beliefs or be destroyed by them. Well Sting, Ive made my choice. Now its time to make yours.
Trying to get a word with Jim Cornette, Leticia is in his office, only to find Eric Young. Eric says hes a desperate man and needs to talk to Cornette. Just then Jim walks in, followed by Robert Roode. Roode tells EY that he had seven days to reply to his lawyers, but it seems like hes just going to sue him. Cornette steps in and says he doesnt want any legal mumbo jumbo. He tells the two that they can settle it in the ring at Slammiversary and if Roode wins, Eric is fired. But if Eric wins, Roode must leave Eric alone. They both agree, but before Jim can relax, Bob Backlund storms in demanding a match with Alex Shelley. Cornette says that if Backlund can get medical clearance, he will sign the match for the PPV.
Christopher Daniels vs. Rhino is next, but before Daniels can even meet Rhino in the ring, Sting jumps him from behind. The two battle throughout the entire arena, ending with Sting giving Daniels a brutal shot to the back of the head with a baseball bat. Rhino says that he came here to fight, so he issues an extreme challenge to anyone on the roster. LAX enters the ring, and Konnan calls out Hector Guerrero, who he sees at ringside. Hector comes to the ringside area to coach on Rhino as Homicide attacks Rhino and the match begins. Hector gets on the apron to tell the referee about Hernandez interfering, but Homicide knocks him to the floor. Rhino hits a Gore and gets the pin, but is then jumped by LAX. Hector and Wildcat Chris Harris try to help out, but the numbers game is way too much.
Samoa Joe is getting ready to speak with Jeremy Borash, just when Kurt Angle interrupts. Kurt says I said if I was going to cripple someone, I would let them know about it first. Well Joe, Im going to cripple you before the King of the Mountain Match. Joe responds You better hope I dont get to you first.
In the locker-room, the AJ Styles and Christian Cage are pretty angry; while Tomko looks quite amused. Cage says Cornette is getting what he wants. But were like brothers we fight one day and were family the next. May the best man win! Tomko seems to go along with it at first and then he gets in AJs face and says Tonight is going to be short, sweet, and painless. AJ looks worried, but Cage tells him he has a plan.
X-Division Champion Chris Sabin vs. Kaz (without Serotonin) is next. To the surprise of everyone, it seemed like Kaz was the Frankie The Future Kazarian of old, as he took the champion to the limit. Sabin went for a Cradle Shock, but Kaz was able to reverse it into a Wave of the Future. He then sends Sabin up to the top rope. As Kaz went to perform to what seemed to be the return of his Flux Capacitor, he spotted Raven and Serotonin looking on from behind the fans in the stands. As he is distracted, Sabin hits Kaz and puts him into a Tree of Woe and hits a hesitation dropkick. He then hits a Cradle Shock and gets the pin.
A video is shown of BG James Basham and Damaja, you tried to cripple me. Our paths will cross again, and I WILL cripple you! You did what you didnt want to do, and that was piss off this redneck. When you come to my backyard, bring youre a game, because no one but a James walks out of there!
In another Paparazzi Productions video, Sonjay says that he needs to look inside and find himself. He tells Nash and Black Machismo Jay Lethal that he hopes that they are next week so he can reintroduce himself.
The main event as is next as Tomko faces AJ Styles to qualify for the King of the Mountain Match. The size and power of Tomko is evident as he runs through AJ in the beginning of the match. Christian Cage then comes to the ringside area and sits in a steel chair. Tomko pulls Cage aside and tries to ask him why hes out there, but AJ gives him a chop block while hes distracted. As AJ works on Tomkos leg, Cage distracts the ref long enough for AJ to go grab the steel chair. Yet, Tomko kicked AJ before he could hit him with the chair. Tomko grabs the chair, but Cage grabs it as well. The two argue over the chair and AJ rolls up Tomko for the win. Tune in next week as two former world champions square off in the next King of the Mountain qualifier match.
TORONTO Shane McMahon came to Raw guaranteeing a new beginning. With his blockbuster announcement that in two weeks on Raw there would be the first-ever tri-branded draft, Shane shook WWEs foundation to the core. Superstars and Divas from Raw, SmackDown and ECW are all eligible to be drafted at the special Raw in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
For proof that a draft can truly be life changing, simply look back at the last draft two years ago when WWE Champion John Cena was drafted to Raw, while then World Heavyweight Champion Batista was drafted to SmackDown. Now, with ECW in the mix, the stakes are even higher, and the WWE & ECW locker rooms are buzzing with mixed reactions.
The fear of separation is something that many Superstars in tag teams will have to worry about, as past drafts have separated celebrated teams. One Superstar who is not happy about the draft and its possibilities is Trevor Murdoch. Im mad as hell, he said. Cade & Murdoch have been blowing the roof off with The Hardys, and now there is the possibility we might be split up it sucks.
When reached by telephone, SmackDowns Finlay told WWE.com that the draft is an opportunity that will benefit everyone. Its good for everybody, good to get new competition, new fights. I am looking forward to it; I wish it would happen today. As eager as the Irishman is to fight, perhaps he didnt think what it would mean if he were drafted to Raw or ECW, or if he was separated from Hornswoggle due to the draft.
One competitor with an optimistic outlook is ECW Superstar CM Punk, who said, it is fresh, it is shocking and it could change the landscape of sports-entertainment. Punk then said, I would love to tangle with a lot of guys on different shows, so I would love to go to Raw or SmackDown to test myself against some of their champions.
SmackDowns Montel Vontavious Porter recently won the United States Championship, and with the draft just two weeks away, the brazen Superstar has one thing in mind himself. I am the United States Champion. It doesnt matter to me if I go to Raw or ECW, I will still be the highest paid athlete on the roster, and I will still put butts in the seats. I am half-man, half-amazing. People want to see Montel Vontavious Porter. MVP continued, I will naturally be the first draftee to Raw or ECW if I am to leave SmackDown, but regardless, I am happy here," he added. I am the only thing that matters to me.
WWE Champion John Cena sees the draft as an exciting experience. The former No. 1 draft pick says, if my number gets called and I get drafted to SmackDown or ECW, I am going to fight like hell to take my WWE Championship with me.
With all the possibilities that the first-ever tri-branded draft will bring, one thing is for sure: The very foundation of Raw, SmackDown & ECW will all be changed and reshaped in two weeks on a special edition of Raw. As Shane McMahon pointed out, nobody is safe. As our fans know, when a McMahon says something, chances are it is true.
