Cryme Tyme vs. The Hart Dynasty ends in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH) Before a tag team winner could be determined, The Undertaker appeared from the darkness to crash the party. The Phenom utilized all of his infamous finishers to lay the four competing Superstars to waste, hitting a chokeslam on Shad, the Last Ride on Tyson Kidd, the Tombstone on David Hart Smith, and Hells Gate on JTG.

However, when Guerrero and Team Lay-Cool ganged up on Tiffany after the bell, Beth Phoenix emerged to even the odds. After clearing the ring of both Michelle and Layla, The Glamazon laid out SmackDowns Official Consultant with a powerful clothesline.
Interview highlights courtesy of The Mayhem's official correspondent, Paterson From New Jersey:
How much of his second stint with World Wrestling Entertainment was a "life experience" after the first time being there: "It was definitely a life experience. It was just an ongoing nightmare for me. They promise they're gonna do this with you, and they don't do it. They tell me they are gonna bring me in to feud with Shelton (Benjamin), and they don't do it. As out lives went on we had our first child & then our second child, you wanna quit, but you have to support your family. Then you'll like 'Alright if I gonna eat crap to help support my family and give my wife & kids a better life, better than I ever had, then that's what I'll do.' But eventually, you could only handle so much before you gotta walk away because you bring that misery home, and it's unhealthy. It's a unhealthy work environment, but then when you bring it home, you make it a unhealthy home environment for your family, and you can't do that. It just really feels good to be away from that. No one understands unless you've been there."
Becoming a great fit within the confines of Ring Of Honor: "I agree with you 100%. I've been watching the product, I know Jim Cornette personally, and I just love what they're doing down there. I've worked with Cornette; I like the formulation of what he's done in the past in OVW and what he's doing now. I think I'll be a great fit. Those kids could go, and they wrestle. These men wrestle, and that's what it's about. I have so much left in my tank. My body's healthy. I'm determined. I'm not gonna sit back and be upset & retire, I wanna go out and prove myself. I wanna prove myself to all the skeptics & all the creative that they didn't know what they had."
What is more appealing to Charlie when he makes his return to the ring on television: TNA or Ring Of Honor: "I will end up at one or the other I promise you that. I just wanna go out & wrestle. I wanna be given the opportunity I never had, and that's it. I wanna have fun: that passion is back, and I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest. The odds are good I will end up somewhere, and the whole new destiny for Charlie Haas will definitely take a turn, and it'll be a turn for the best. Not just for the fans, but for me & my family as well."
Some of the superstars/performers that Charlie would want to face in TNA that he never had the opportunity to face in his career: "There's another Elijah Burke ('The Pope' D'Angelo Dinero), never did anything with him. Look what's happened. It's the same thing; the WWE didn't see anything in him or he's not entertaining enough. It's their loss, and that's just one of them. Shannon Moore was another one who was never given the opportunity. Jeff Hardy is the most popular wrestler there is in the world today. Kurt (Angle) is one of my best friends, we talk all the time, and I would love to run with him or Jeff or any of those wrestlers: AJ (Styles), Samoa Joe."
Charlie's thoughts on the passing of his close friend & business partner Eddie "Umaga" Fatu several few months ago: "He was my best friend and was my best friend since we started in the developmental territories together. He was with me when we found my brother dead. He was my best friend & my business partner, and his family is my family. It's just heartbreaking just to watch him and watch what happened, and to have to bury another one of your friends just really sucks."
Why Shelton Benjamin, like himself, has not been used to the best of his ability during his time in the WWE: "It's either someone doesn't like him in creative or he's just too good of a wrestler, or he just makes things look too good & too easy, or it's just very political. Someone at the time doesn't want him to succeed. They have who they want to push, and he's just not one of them. And it's unfortunate, because he is probably the most God-gifted athlete in sports (pro wrestling & the WWE), but they don't want to utilize that, so it's their loss. That's why I'm begging him not to sign back. He'll probably stay for the money, but he could utilized a lot better elsewhere I'll tell you that."
More is contained in Charlie's interview with the Monday Night Mayhem Radio Network, including his candid thoughts & comments on the real story behind his impersonations of past & present WWE Superstars, Legends, & Divas (including whose idea it was for the gimmick & which member of the WWE Creative Team that Charlie confided in the most during his return to the company), why the WWE almost pulled Shelton Benjamin from the forthcoming Money In The Bank Match at WrestleMania XXVI, & so much more!

Christian & MVP def. Carlito & Chavo Guerrero (PHOTOS | WATCH) Though theyll be opponents at WrestleMania, Raw Superstars Christian and MVP joined forces to take on Carlito & Chavo Guerrero. As NXT Rookies Heath Slater and Michael Tarver watched their WWE Pros (Christian and Carlito, respectively) these four in-ring veterans pushed their opponents to the limit in a fast-paced tag team match. Ultimately however, it was Captain Charisma who capitalized on Guerreros missed Frog Splash, hitting the self-proclaimed Mexican Warrior with the Killswitch to pick up the win for his team.
Zack Ryder def. Santino Marella (PHOTOS | WATCH) Since joining the Raw roster, Zack Ryder has been eager to make an impact alongside his lady, the lovely Rosa Mendes. On WWE Superstars, Ryder faced off against Santino Marella, a ring warrior every bit as talkative as The Long Island Loudmouth. However, Ryder showed that he has the talent to back up his arrogant ways by hitting Marella with the Rough Ryder and the Zack Attack in succession. After pinning the Italian Superstar Ryder celebrated in the ring with Rosa.
Goldust def. Mike Knox (PHOTOS | WATCH) The previous week on WWE Superstars saw Goldust hold his own in a match against World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, though he ultimately fell victim to the Walls of Jericho. This week The Bizarre One hoped to make up for his prior loss in a match against Mike Knox. Despite his opponents distinct size and strength advantage, Goldust persevered and defeated one of SmackDowns most intimidating competitors.
Dolph Ziggler def. Shelton Benjamin (PHOTOS | WATCH) WWE Superstars opened with a match pitting Shelton Benjamin against his fellow Money in the Bank Ladder Match competitor, Dolph Ziggler. The brash young Superstar was out to send a message to The Gold Standard, locking in his ferocious sleeper hold, a move so devastating that Ziggler has used it to defeat Kane. Like The Big Red Monster, Benjamin was also unable to escape Zigglers incapacitating grip, giving his opponent the win and momentum building up to their match at WrestleMania.

WWE wants to work with Goldberg again? Posted by Chris Kaufman on 03/11/2010 at 12:06 PM

WWE showed a Wrestlemania recall on RAW this week of Bill Goldberg pinning Brock Lesnar in 2004 as a way to plug Steve Austins guest host gig but the company has actually been talking about Goldberg and trying to get some kind of relationship going with him.
They realize he wont come back and wrestle but theyre thinking of some kind of Legends deal to use his likeness in video games and such. Goldberg could also be possible for next years Hall of Fame in Atlanta since theyre running low on main eventers to induct.
NXT rating drops down to ECW levels Posted by Chris Kaufman on 03/10/2010 at 08:47 PM
Any ratings advantage the new WWE NXT series had over the weekly ECW telecast is gone. Viewership for Tuesday's episode dropped significantly from last week.
After holding steady from week one to week two, NXT eroded viewers for its third airing, falling to a viewership average of just 1.298 million, according to Mediaweek. That amounts to a viewership decline of 25% from last week's 1.73 million total.
Among adults 18-49, the drop was even more staggering. The show fell from a 0.6 to a 0.4, a decrease of 33%.
PWInsider.com is reporting the cable broadcast rating at a 1.0, down from the 1.24 for week two.
Essentially, that means NXT is now right where ECW was when WWE and SyFy decided an overhaul was needed.

Maria talks about her future - joining TNA? Posted by Chris Kaufman on 03/09/2010 at 08:55 PM
Former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis was interviewed by Eric Cohen of About.com this week to promote her role on the upcoming "Celebrity Apprentice" NBC show and reveals that Donald Trump himself invited her to participate. "I actually met Donald Trump when he came to the show to do some work with Vince McMahon. He asked me if I wanted to do it and I said that I would love to and it all started from there."
Maria was also asked whether she'd be open to joining TNA, or if she's fully moved on from the wrestling business. "I'm not sure yet to be honest," she said. "I probably had seven different phone calls from companies across the country asking me to come here or go there. I haven't decided. It's such an exciting adventure to be on. It's like I've been born again or something. I'm really trying to figure out what's best for me, what's best for my future, and then go from there."

"Am I mad at WWE? No, I am not. I get it. I understand. They gave me my start and I am thankful. I will however miss the Divas. They will forever be a part of my story. Mickie giving wrestling her heart, soul and a real teacher in the ring. Michelle with her dedication to the divas division is making it grow. Nattie with all the history and excitement. Layla giving it fire, humor, and is a great friend. Kelly the girl that is the beauty that has that same desire as me to prove herself in the ring. Eve is a fighter and can choke you out! (Eve I can't wait to come train with you now that I have some time on my hands.) Beth, the foundation, sweet, strong, and a great listener. These girls and all the Divas are my inspiration. I admire them. I will keep watching you succeed. Thank you Ladies. Will I be back? I don't know. Life throws so much at you. Maybe this chapter is over and maybe we will revisit it later. Only the universe knows. Celebrity Apprentice! Hmmmmm You will have to wait and see how I did. But, I can say that WWE helped me meet Mr. Trump. Make a Wish Foundation was the charity I worked for. I love that Foundation. Giving wishes to kids! Wow! So important. The Make a Wish kids are the best motivation I could ever have to work my butt off on Celebrity Apprentice."

R-Truth & David Otunga def. The Miz & Daniel Bryan Heath Slater def. Carlito Justin Gabriel def. Wade Barrett
SEATTLE In just the third week of competition on WWE NXT, several Rookies earned monumental victories. Despite some occasional clashes with their Pros, each proved why he could be the next Superstar to join the Raw roster.
Justin Gabriel def. Wade Barrett (PHOTOS | WATCH) Justin Gabriel wowed the WWE Universe for the second week in a row, earning an impressive victory over fellow Rookie, Wade Barrett, on WWE NXT. Under the guidance of his Pro, Matt Hardy, Gabriel capitalized on his tag team win over Skip Sheffield last week and continued his forward momentum, pinning Barrett after hitting the 450 Splash. (WATCH: Hardy preps Gabriel for his match) Gabriel ups his perfect record to 2-0, surely making the NXT Pros take notice. But after the victory, Barretts Pro, World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, entered the ring and hit Gabriel with a Codebreaker and locked him into the Walls of Jericho, preying on the Rookies back, which Barrett targeted throughout their match. (WATCH: Meet Rookie Justin Gabriel)
Heath Slater def. Carlito (PHOTOS | WATCH) Heath Slater sent an important message to Carlito Tuesday night, a week after the Superstar spit apple in the Rookies face on WWE NXT: He is not backing down. With his Pro, Christian, at ringside, Slater defeated Carlito just minutes after the apple-spitting Pro said he should be happy he humiliated him like that and should be begging him to do it again. Carlitos Rookie, Michael Tarver, could only watch in shock as Carlito was rolled up by the one-man rock band Slater. With this victory, Slater earns the impressive distinction of becoming the first Rookie to defeat a Pro in singles action on WWE NXT.
R-Truth & David Otunga def. The Miz & Daniel Bryan (PHOTOS | WATCH) After an explosive, post-match brawl on last weeks WWE NXT, R-Truth & his Rookie, David Otunga, put their differences aside to earn a tag team win over The Miz & Daniel Bryan, another Pro & Rookie duo who arent exactly the best of friends either. The Miz threatened Bryan with his career before the match, saying hell be sure hes thrown off the show if hes pinned. But it was the United States and Unified Tag Team Champion The Miz who was pinned by Otunga, who upped his record to 2-1.
With his teams loss, Bryan has yet to win a match on WWE NXT, but this home state defeat is one Washington native Bryan solely blames on his Pro. During the match, The Miz began to fight with Bryan, distracting the referee, allowing R-Truth to capitalize with a kick to The Miz, allowing Otunga to pin him for the win. (WATCH: Bryan confronts The Miz post-loss) Plus, The Miz may not have been on his A-game after the previous nights Raw when R-Truth and his WrestleMania tag team partner, John Morrison, intentionally disqualified themselves in their match against Show-Miz after sending the Cleveland Screamer over the top rope and punishing The Worlds Largest Athlete.
CM Punk encourages Darren Young (WATCH) On Tuesdays WWE NXT, CM Punk and his Straight Edge Society associates persuaded Rookie Darren Young to become a part of their group. The Pro pointed out that Youngs win last week came with the Societys support, and that he should be more open to new ideas, because with a little help and guidance, Straight Edge can make anyone a winner. (WATCH: Meet Rookie Darren Young)
