Results:Raw gets Hardcore with Holly's return By Corey Clayton September 24, 2007
MILWAUKEE After five months off with a broken arm, Hardcore Holly was ready to make his mark in the ring.
And in a town famous for its beer, trouble was brewing for Cody Rhodes at the hands of the returning ring veteran. As punishment for disobeying Acting General Manager Jonathan Coachman and attacking Randy Orton last week on Raw, Rhodes faced the returning former six-time Hardcore Champion in his first match back.
Holly chided Rhodes in the ring before their match.
With a name like that, you should be in a boy band and not in a wrestling ring, Holly said. You dont get my respect based on your name. If you want my respect, you need to earn it.
The young Rhodes didnt back down from the returning veteran, pelting him with punches and dropkicks. But Holly was able to dodge Rhodes springboard plancha attempt, then finish him off with a powerful Alabama Slam.
With an impressive return, Holly put the Raw locker room on notice that hes back and better than ever.
In other Raw action:
Tag turmoil
Paul London & Brian Kendrick knew that a victory over World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade &Trevor Murdoch in a non-title contest would ensure them a title match next week on Raw. As Kendrick had Murdoch covered for the pinfall, The Highlanders came in and beat down Kendrick & London, causing a disqualification. The Scottish cousins were upset that they werent granted a title opportunity, and wanted to thwart London & Kendricks chance for yet another title match.
Italian iced
Santino Marella and Ron Simmons squared off in an attempt to settle their recent rivalry over Santinos girlfriend, Maria. But after taking a pummeling from the former three-time World Tag Team Champion, Marella fled. Maria implored Marella to return to the ring, but Marella took Marias arm and led her away, conceding the damn count-out to Simmons.
Flying high
Beth Phoenix continued to show her dominance over Raw Divas and put Womens Champion Candice Michelle on notice when she and Shelton Benjamin defeated the championship pair of Womens Champion Candice Michelle & Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy. As the men battled outside the ring, the Glamazon hit a distracted Candice from behind, and then flattened her with powerful cradle suplex to pick up the pinfall.
Handicap cage
Triple H came into Raw thinking hed only have Carlito to deal with inside the 15-foot-high steel cage. But as payback for The Games humiliating treatment, Mr. McMahon added himself to the cage match and won the match for Carlito and himself, escaping over the top. Story | Watch the video ...
Mini-mayhem
Hornswoggle had an eyeful of action all night long, pairing up with the vivacious Melina. The A-list Diva seemed interested in the little love machine at first, but then revealed that Coachman had promised her a Womens Championship opportunity if she took the leprechaun out. Story | Watch the video ...
Feeling Green
WWE Champion John Cena was told to keep his hands off of Acting Raw GM Jonathan Coachman, but couldnt resist charging through security to get his hands on him. As Coachman prepared to strip Cena of his title, Mr. McMahon stepped in and overruled the GM, ordering him to face The Champ in a Tables Match. But it wasnt the Mr. McMahon you might be thinking of.

* Jimmy Wang Yang def. Jamie Noble * Deuce & Domino def. WWE Tag Team Champions Matt Hardy & United States Champion MVP (Non-title) * World Heavyweight Champion Batista vs. Mark Henry (Non-title, no contest)
Results:Beyond the matrimony By Lennie DiFino September 21, 2007
ATLANTA The season premiere of Friday Night SmackDown was expected to be its biggest ever, and in that respect, it did not disappoint. However, by the end of the evening, our fans in the Philips Arena and at home watched as rivalries both recent and past were brutally rekindled, while a couples vow to love and cherish each other was doused by tragedy.
619: Flight grounded Rey Mysterio wasnt able to recapture the World Title at Unforgivens Triple Threat Match with Khali and Batista, but the high-flying former champion granted his first SmackDown interview since returning from injury. However, when JBL felt Michael Cole was being too soft with his line of questioning, the SmackDown commentator began berating the Superstar who forced him to retire from the ring last year. Rey challenged JBL to a fight, but the self-proclaimed wrestling god introduced the man who loves to fight, Finlay. The Irishman attacked, leaving Rey down and out in the center of the ring. Watch the video
Deflated It looked as if WWE Tag Team Champions MVP & Matt Hardy might finally be on the same page as a team, but the latest chapter in their title reign took a turn for the worse Friday when Deuce & Domino defeated them in non-title action. The Ballin Superstar took both tag titles as well as his United States Championship when he walked out Atlantas Philips Arena in. These rivals-turned-partners have already been skating on thin ice for weeks; will this loss to the former champions be the thing to break it?
Not-so Noble Jamie Noble has had no luck since losing a series of matches against Cruiserweight Champion of the World Hornswoggle. In fact, his ring losses have been second only to his personal embarrassments at the hands of Mr. McMahons lillegitimate son, and his troubles only grew on SmackDown Friday night. While facing Jimmy Wang Yang, Noble exited the ring when he saw what he believed to be Hornswoggles hat. Instead, he found Shannon Moore donning the hat and laughing at Noble. The lapse in judgment soon cost Noble the match, as Yang capitalized to get the victory.
Batista a giant-sized target The World Heavyweight Champion Batistas first Friday night since reclaiming the title was certainly not what he had planned. Instead of celebrating his long journey back to the top, Batista was confronted by Mark Henry, leading to a non-title contest between the two. During the match, The Great Khali interfered and aided Henry in decimating The Animal with a violent barrage of power. Batista may have even bigger problems in his future, though, because at No Mercy, he must defend his title against the colossal Khali in a Punjabi Prison Match. Read the whole story
Ceremonial shocker A night that was supposed to see the hearts of Theodore Long and Kristal united in marriage instead witnessed the chaos that ensued when SmackDowns General Manager in the middle of saying I do suddenly collapsed. The distraught screams of Kristal resonated throughout the Philips Arena as SmackDown came to a traumatic end in front of our shocked fans, Superstars and wedding guests. Even prior to this tragedy, the wedding had its share of ceremonial jitters, as Jillian Hall sang, The Godfather pimped, and Hornswoggle and Jonathan Coachmans antics completely disrupted the happy occasion.

As first reported by WWE Mobile Alerts, WWE has come to terms on the release of ECW Superstar Marcus Cor Von as of September 19. We wish him the best in all his future endeavors.

Elijah Burke def. Stevie Richards, Tommy Dreamer and Kevin Thorn (Fatal Four Way)
Balls Mahoney def. Mike Knox
Big Daddy V def. Boogeyman
Results: Fatal road to No Mercy By Andrew Rote September 18, 2007ATLANTA The Land of the Extreme is a world that revolves around the ECW Championship. ECW on Sci Fi exemplified just that when Elijah Burke, Kevin Thorn, Tommy Dreamer and Stevie Richards explained why they should each be CM Punk's next challenger.
After arguing over who deserves the title opportunity the most, the four Superstars had their decision made for them by General Manager Armando Estrada. An Elimination Chase to No Mercy would determine CM Punks No Mercy opponent for the gold. The competition commenced as soon as Estrada finished, as the four squared off in a Fatal Four Way Match. Three would remain eligible to confront each other once again, but whoever fell victim to a pin would face elimination. (WATCH) Read more on this story
ECW on Sci Fi featured another huge match literally when Big Daddy V took on Boogeyman. The worm enthusiast put up a good fight, but the massive monster proved to be too much man for him when the student flattened the closet lurker. The match served as the climax thus far to one of ECWs biggest rivalries, and as proof that there truly is nothing that can stop Big Daddy V.
Earlier in the night, Extreme Exposé put on a show for our fans once again. The best seat in the house, though, belonged to Kelly Kellys Balls Mahoney bear, which sat in the corner of the ring. After the performance, Mahoney redeemed last weeks loss to Mike Knox with a convincing win. But his real reason for celebrating that night came when he grabbed the microphone and asked Kelly out. She smiled, then got pulled backstage by The Miz and the other Exposé members before she could answer. Nonetheless, Mahoney announced that he would take that as a yes. (WATCH)
Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy def. Shelton Benjamin "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan def. Daivari in a Flag Match Women's Champion Candice Michelle & Mickie James def. Melina and Jillian Hall Triple H def. World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch in a Handicap Match (disqualification) WWE Champion John Cena def. Santino Marella (disqualification) Randy Orton def. Mr. Cena (disqualification)
Results: Glamazon on the warpath By Corey Clayton September 17, 2007NASHVILLE, Tenn. Mount. St. Glamazon is ready to erupt.
After dominating the Womens Champion Candice Michelle at Unforgiven, Beth Phoenix thought she should be wearing the gold as top Diva. But Candice caught the towering Phoenix in a crucifix, and scored a surprising pinfall.
The menacing Glamazon stood at ringside on Raw, staring down her Unforgiven opponent in Nashville as she competed in tag team action. After Candice and Mickie James defeated Melina and Jillian Hall, the Glamazon took the Womens Championship into the ring and placed it on the champions shoulder. Then, Beth slapped the gold forcefully, perhaps as a warning to the Womens Champion that shes not settling for second best.
Beth locked eyes with Candice as she left the ring. Both elite Divas know that they may cross paths for the championship again, perhaps sooner than later.
In other developments on Raw:
A Hardy result Still suffering from the ill-effects of The Great Khalis crushing Vise Grip a week ago, Jeff Hardy successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship against former three-time champion Shelton Benjamin.
As Benjamin tried to snatch and throw Hardy from the top turnbuckle, Hardy blocked the attempt and pushed Benjamin down to the canvas. The Rainbow-haired Warrior hit his patented Swanton Bomb and earned the hard-fought three-count.
Win for Old Glory Ring veteran Hacksaw Jim Duggan defeated Daivari in a classic WWE match a Flag Match. With the flags of the USA and Iran above the corner posts, Duggan was able to send the Arab grappler to the floor and get to the Stars and Stripes first to earn the victory.
Fathers Day John Cena could only watch helplessly, handcuffed to the ring ropes, as his dad took a beating from Randy Orton and his war with the Legend Killer got even more personal. Story | Watch the video

NoDQ.com > TNA > More Details On Andrew "Test" Martin Leaving TNA Posted by Ryan Gray on 09/14/2007 at 01:10 PM
Source - Wrestling Observer Newsletter
As previously reported, Andrew "Test" Martin was let go from TNA. It has been reported that he was too muscular, and the way the industry is right now with steroids, this is not seen as a big plus. Before Martin's debut with TNA, he was second guessed since he was a WWE reject who didn't have anything special to offer.
When he came in and wasn't impressive, it was basically the same reaction as Damaja & Doug Bashman, thus the end result was the same.
Michelle McCool vs. Victoria (Double Disqualification) Michelle McCool & Chuck Palumbo def. Victoria & Kenny Dykstra Shannon Moore def. Jamie Noble Domino def. United States Champion MVP (Non-title) Finlay def. Kane (Belfast Brawl) Batista def. The Great Khali (Non-title, disqualification)
Results: Forgive and forget? By Lennie DiFino September 14, 2007MINNEAPOLIS On SmackDown, Batista squared off against World Heavyweight Champion The Great Khali, just two days before they and hopefully Rey Mysterio square off in a Triple Threat Match at Unforgiven. The Animal was still on the prowl even after he speared Khali on Raw, seeking retribution for his friend, and former WWE Tag Team Co-Champion, whom Khali brutalized last week. The Khali Vise Grip that left Rey demolished and bloodied a week ago was applied on Batista Friday night, but the Punjabi Giant was disqualified when he refused to break the hold. The brutal nature of Batista and Khalis encounters has grown well past the boiling point, and threatens to explode this Sunday. Read the full story
With just one week until the happiest day of their lives, both General Manager Theodore Long and his fiancée, Kristal, put the finishing touches on their pre-wedding arrangements. While Kristal and her bridesmaids continued their behind-the-scenes planning -- with a bachelorette party -- the men of SmackDown threw a bachelor party for the General Manager. Best man Ron Simmons asked SmackDowns newest team Jesse & Festus to supply the entertainment, and the Superstars did not disappoint. The Major Brothers, Sgt. Slaughter, "The Natural" Butch Reed and others joined in the party to help Long celebrate his final days as a single man. More on the Festivities...
Before they defend their WWE Tag Team Titles this Sunday against former champions Deuce & Domino, Matt Hardy & MVP tried to one-up each other on SmackDown in a chess match. After MVP sneezed and prematurely ended their latest one-on-one contest, Hardy informed the Ballin Superstar that he would be in action that night against Domino. Matt assured that he would indeed be in his unwilling partners corner -- much like MVP had been when he helped Hardy to victory over Deuce last week and he was vocally true to his word. Fashioning himself as the U.S. Champions biggest fan for most of the contest, Hardy lead the Minneapolis crowd in M-V-P, chants while the brazen Superstar still wearing most of a rather expensive suit engaged in a slugfest with Domino. When Deuce tried to interfere, Matt knocked him to the ground but in the process also angered his own partner. As MVP scolded Hardy, Domino rolled him up in a small package to steal the win. Can the bomber-jacketed duo carry that momentum into Unforgiven as they attempt to regain the WWE Tag Team Championship, or will Matt Hardy & MVP figure out how to work together and keep the gold?
Before his encounter with Undertaker at Sundays Unforgiven, Mark Henry came to SmackDown dressed as a druid and telling our fans, Undertakers powers pale in comparison to mine. But as Henry showed a video of his vicious attack on The Deadman back in May, another Undertaker video suddenly aired on the TitanTron. Afterward, a bolt of lightning flashed in the arena, hitting the stage and setting aflame a huge Undertaker symbol. Then came a final warning for the self-proclaimed Silverback: Mark Henry . Unforgiven . You will rest in peace. Are Mark Henrys days of domination coming to an end at the hands of The Phenom?
One Superstar who knows Undertaker well is his brother Kane, who was in action against Finlay in WWEs first-ever Belfast Brawl. The brutal rivalry between these two Superstars reached a whole new level Friday night, as the Big Red Monster and the Irishman, quite frankly, beat the living hell out of each other. Late in the grueling contest, Kane seemed to gain the advantage and readied himself to use the steel steps as a weapon. But Finlay would neutralize the threat with a steel chair to the monsters ribs, then picked up the victory with a devastating Celtic Cross.
In other SmackDown action, Chuck Palumbo and Kenny Dykstra both became involved in Michelle McCools match against Victoria, causing a double disqualification. But then General Manager Theodore Long ordered that a Mixed Tag Team Match take place, and the budding rivalries between all four individuals heated up once more. Palumbos dominant streak continued to roll forward as he nearly decapitated Dykstra with a clothesline that sent him flying over the top rope. It also gave Michelle the opening she needed to nail the deranged Victoria with a kick to the head for the victory.
Also, Shannon Moore defeated Jamie Noble after outsmarting his fellow cruiserweight. As the match progressed, Moore screamed that the little bastard son of Mr. McMahon, Hornswoggle, was under the ring. As an incensed Noble went looking for the Cruiserweight Champion of the World, Moore rolled him up for the pin instead, once again giving Noble the short end of the stick.
September 13th, 2007 22:01 ANGLE VS. STING ANNOUNCED FOR BOUND FOR GLORY, JUDAS MESIAS DEBUTS, TNA WOMEN'S DIVISION AND MORE Plus, News & Video from Thursdays iMPACT! broadcast By Bill Banks
- On Thursdays iMPACT!, TNA Management Director Jim Cornette formally announced the creation of a womens wrestling division, with the first champion to be crowned at the Bound For Glory Pay-Per-View on Sunday, October 14.
- Also on the broadcast, Sting attempted to get Karen Angle to admit he never slapped her at No Surrender, which brought out an enraged Kurt Angle. After brutalizing the icon, Angle told Sting he would humiliate him once and for all at Bound For Glory in Atlanta. According to TNA management, the two stars will meet at Pay-Per-View for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship!
- In a non-title bout, The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels of Triple X defeated X Division Champion Black Machismo Jay Lethal
- Christian Cage showed up at iMPACT! with revenge on his mind against Jim Cornettes monster backup, Matt Morgan. However, when Cage challenged him to a fight, Samoa Joe appeared and joined Morgan in shutting down Cages Coalition. Morgan then announced that Cage will face Joe at Bound For Glory with Matt Morgan as the special enforcer! In addition, Jim Cornette introduced Cage to his opponent for next Thursdays broadcast the debuting Junior Fatu!
- In the main event, it was Abyss against TNA World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle in the Six Sides Of Steel cage. Abyss promised that if he tapped out this time, it would be his last match in TNA. Abyss looked to have the bout won, but the maniacal Judas Mesias made his TNA debut and annihilated Abyss while Kurt Angle escaped the cage.
* The Miz def. Tommy Dreamer * Matt Striker def. Nunzio * Mike Knox def. Balls Mahoney * CM Punk & Stevie Richards def. Elijah Burke & Kevin Thorn
Results:No apologies By Andrew Rote September 11, 2007
MINNEAPOLIS CM Punk may forgive Elijah Burke for interrupting his discussion with General Manager Armando Estrada to kick off ECW on Sci Fi, but you can be sure he will not forgive the Experience for three disrespectful shoves when it comes time for the two to face at Sundays pay-per-view. The ECW Champion responded with a Enzuiguri that sent Burke out of the ring via airmail.
Punk continued his sneak preview of Unforgiven in Tuesday nights main event when he and Stevie Richards took on Burke and Kevin Thorn. ECWs self-proclaimed Guiding Light could only look on as his tag team partner fell victim to the Straightedge Superstars G.T.S. sending him snoring toward the nearest coffin. We can only imagine what CM Punk has in store for Burke when he puts his ECW Championship on the line for the first time. Read full story (WATCH)
Earlier in the night, The Miz earned a dominant win against Tommy Dreamer. Kelly Kelly, though, was the party pooper during his celebration. Extreme Exposé ushered Kelly against her will to and from the ring for his contest. Moments later, Balls Mahoney turned her frown upside down when he gave her a Balls teddy bear. She wished him luck, but unfortunately for the ECW Original, it didnt come through. Mahoney was pitted against Kellys ex-boyfriend Mike Knox, making his return to ECW on Sci Fi and determined to have a big night. The Miz walked out to observe Mahoneys match and just as Balls caught him, Knox capitalized on his opponent with a devastating kick and a pin. (WATCH)
In other ECW on Sci Fi action, Matt Striker shined in one of the quickest matches in recent ECW history. After rolling up Nunzio for the win, Striker was joined in the ring by his "heavy," Big Daddy V, who was craving some scraps. As he punished Nunzio, Boogeyman appeared on the screen with a rendition of Humpty Dumpty that would leave a grown man scared of the dark. The two monsters will face to settle their rivalry next Tuesday. (WATCH)
Watch two beasts collide on the next ECW on Sci Fi on Tuesday at 10/9 CT and dont miss CM Punk as he puts his gold on the line against Elijah Burke at Unforgiven on Sunday at 8/7 CT only on pay-per-view.
World Wrestling Entertainment released former ECW World champion The
Sandman today. Internally within the company, the release had been
expected over the last 24 hours.
Sandman was hired by the company in June 2006 when they re-launched
the ECW letters as a third WWE brand. After floating around the top of
the ECW brand as a popular babyface, complete with a toned down version
of his famous entrance, he was drafted to Raw several months back. He
had most recently been seen last night against Santino Marell
Click to learn more... NoDQ.com > WWE > Full Details On King Booker Quitting WWE Posted by Ryan Gray on 09/11/2007 at 10:40 AM
Source - Wrestling Observer Newsletter
As we broke over the weekend, Robert Huffman (a/k/a King Booker) quit World Wrestling Entertainment after being informed he was going to be suspended 60 days, because he is also believed to have had a test failure to go along with being in the prosecutor's records as receiving packages of steroids. WWE hopes Booker will reconsider, but as we stated this weekend, they are moving forward under the impression that his is finished with the company.
Huffman already had a chip on his shoulder after John Laurinaitis made the call to do the Florida developmental territory, while turning down his PWA promotion in Houston. WWE had also banned their talent from participating in PWA events in Pasadena, Texas, thus causing Huffman to use TNA talent. This raised many people's eyebrows in WWE, but nothing was said.
There was also a contact issue between Huffman and WWE. For years he swore that he would never wrestle a day past 40 (he is now 42). Recently, Huffman was about to sign a new contract, but it's not clear whether it was actually signed. Huffman is said to be in strong economic shape as he's earned a lot of money from his Hip Hop clothing store in Houston, as well as a wrestling school in the city, and a wrestling school he's affiliated with in South Africa.
World Heavyweight Champion The Great Khali def. Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy (non-title)
GREEN BAY, Wisc. The Great Khali normally has a firm hold on SmackDown. But on the road to Unforgiven, the World Heavyweight Champions Vise Grip reached across the airwaves and took hold of Raw.
After Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy celebrated the fact he wasnt Mr. McMahons bastard son, the Chairman placed him in a match against The Great Khali. The Punjabi Giant was visiting Raw claiming to be McMahons child.
In their match, Khali caught The Rainbow-haired Warrior in his crushing Vise Grip. Hardy tried to fight free, but passed out from the pressure. Khali nonchalantly covered him with a foot for the pinfall victory.
However, as Khali celebrated, Batista rushed the ring and speared the colossus, who then rolled out of the ring. The Animal stood on the turnbuckle pointing and yelling at the champion, motioning around his waist. The two will square off for the first time ever on broadcast TV on SmackDown this Friday night before their Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship at Unforgiven.
A little shocking While many male Superstars prayed they were Mr. McMahons illegitimate child in Green Bay (and some prayed they werent), word finally came down from Mr. Johnson, the attorney for the mother of McMahons bastard son.
After a lengthy process of elimination, the privileged son of the son-of-a-gun Chairman was revealed to be Hornswoggle!
Hornswoggle?!?! Story | Superstars React
Cenas blood boils over Despite being banned from the Resch Arena by Acting General Manager Jonathan Coachman, WWE Champion John Cena found a way inside the building and attacked his Unforgiven opponent Randy Orton, who attacked Cenas father two weeks prior. Consumed with rage over the attack on his family, Cena tried to chase Orton, but security intervened to keep the rivals apart.
As Cena was escorted from the arena, he told Mr. McMahon that Orton's blood will run with fear and the Legend Killer would feel pain and vengeance in his bones. Story
Gaining momentum After a whirlwind tour in South Africa that saw the World Tag Team Titles change hands twice this past week, Paul London was able to defeat one-half of the current champions, Lance Cade, in singles action. Read more about title changes...
While the referee was distracted by Cades partner Trevor Murdoch, Londons partner Brian Kendrick surprised Cade with a top-rope reverse bulldog. London landed a somersault splash onto Cade and scored the pinfall, enraging the sportsmanship-touting, blue-collar duo. The two rival teams will face off for the World Tag Team Championship at Unforgiven in just six days.
Game breaker? Acting GM Coachman gave Carlito the choice of Triple Hs Raw opponent, and the crafty Caribbean chose former Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin. But The Game was still able to defeat Benjamin with a Pedigree. Carlito tried to hit Triple H with a chair after the win, but the 10-time World Champion dodged it, sending Carlito scurrying for safer ground.
Coachman announced that Mr. McMahon had decided to change the pairs Unforgiven matchup into a No Disqualification Match for Carlito only, which means any weapon is legal for the islander, but not for The Game. Story
Dark Phoenix rising What started as a Mickie James victory over Jillian Hall turned ugly as the No. 1 contender for the Womens Championship, Beth Phoenix, leveled both Hall and James after their match.
Womens Champion Candice Michelle courageously left the announcers table to confront her Unforgiven opponent, but received a powerful slam for her trouble. Can Candice find a way to counter Phoenixs strength advantage in six days, or will we see a new champion on Sunday, Sept. 16, at Unforgiven?
Italian icing Santino Marella lost via disqualification against Sandman, who caned him a week earlier. After the match, as Ron Simmons and Maria talked about Santinos change of attitude, Marella attacked Simmons from behind, then walked off with a very disturbed and shocked Diva.
Will there be new champions when Raw returns next week? Well find out in short order. Check out Unforgiven, live and only on pay-per-view this Sunday, Sept. 16 at 8/7 CT.
Deze winter start de preproductie van Thor, een verfilming van de comicreeks over de blonde, hamerzwaaiende held die naar de aarde wordt gestuurd om de mensheid te beschermen. Hij kwam er regelmatig in aanvaring met de Hulk, maar uit de gevechten kwam nooit een duidelijke winnaar. De serie loopt al sinds 1962 en is een creatie van Jack Kirby en vaste waarde Stan Lee.
Matthew Vaughn is gevraagd om de film te regisseren. Zijn contract werd ondertekend op dezelfde dag dat in de VS Stardust uitkwam, zijn adaptatie van het boek van Neil Gaiman met Robert De Niro en Michelle Pfeiffer in de hoofdrol. Met Thor is hij toe aan zijn eerste superheldenfilm. Om persoonlijke redenen zag hij eerder af als regisseur van X-Men 3: The Last Stand. Zijn regiedebuut was trouwens Layer Cake. Als producer was hij betrokken bij Guy Ritchies Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels en het mindere Snatch.
Drie namen circuleren inmiddels als potentiële hoofdrolspelers: Ray Stevenson (King Arthur, Titus Pullo uit de tv-reeks Rome en vertolker van The Punisher in de nieuwe film die in 2008 uit zal komen), Kevin McKidd (Lucius Vorenus uit de tv-serie Rome) en WWE-worstelaar Triple H. McKidd geniet de voorkeur van Vaughn.
De financiering komt grotendeels van Marvel Studios die een potje van 500 miljoen dollar heeft om deze en een paar andere superheldenfilms te betalen, waaronder The Incredible Hulk (de tweede Hulk-film, deze keer met Edward Norton) en Iron Man met Robert Downey Junior die in mei 2008 wordt verwacht.

The No Surrender Pay-Per-View kicked off with the TNA World Tag Team Title Match with Kurt Angle and Sting vs. Ron The Truth Killings and Adam Pacman Jones. Killings started off against Sting - but when Killings went to tag out after a flurry of offense from Sting, Pacman refused to tag in! Killings continued against Kurt Angle, but once again Pacman opted not to tag in when offered. Karen Angle came down, but refused to leave when Sting told her to. Karen slapped Sting, and when he pointed for her to leave again she went down as if she was hit! Angle went outside to investigate and Karen told him that Sting had slapped her! Back in the ring, Pacman finally tagged in to face Sting but Kurt jumped in and hit the Angle Slam on Sting! Pacman Jones covered Sting for the win as The Truth and Pacman Jones are the new TNA World Tag Team Champions!
Up next, its Rhino vs. James Storm Prior to the match, JB interviewed Rhino who said he may be an alcoholic, but hes sober and ready to annihilate Storm. The bout started with a brawl on the outside, as Storm tried to hide in the crowd. The two TNA stars battled through the fans, as referee Andrew Thomas opted to let them go at it instead of counting them out. Rhino and Storm eventually got back in the ring and the match was officially underway. Rhino went for the GORE, but Jackie Moore interfered, allowing Storm to get the upper hand. Rhino fought back and nailed Storm with the GORE, but the Cowboy was able to kick out! Rhino tossed in two steel chairs from the fans and went for the Rhinodriver from the second rope. However, Storm battled out of it and hit a flying bulldog on Rhino on the chairs! Storm brought a table in to the ring, but Rhino grounded him with a slam. Rhino then set the table up in the corner. Storm set up Rhino for a superplex and hit it, but couldnt get the pin. Storm went for the superkick, but Rhino reversed it and hit the GORE on the Cowboy, putting him through the table and covering him for the win! After the bout, Jackie tried to attack Rhino but he threw her in the ring and hit the GORE on her!
In the back, Kurt Angle was going ballistic in the locker room about Karen claiming Sting slapped her. Sting ran in and tried to put Angle through a locker, at which point Jim Cornette came in and told Sting to go back to the hotel to calm down! Cornette then told Karen Angle to grab her belongings and get out of the arena, because her night was over!
