Angelina Love comments on Lacey Von Erich Posted by Mark Virginia on 05/31/2010 at 12:10 AM
In an interview with www.Angel-Williams.net, Angelina Love comments on TNA moving back to Thursday nights, whether she misses working with Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne in "The Beautiful People," how she came up with the name Angel, working with Natalya, and more.
When asked to comment on Lacey Von Erich, who made some choice remarks about her during her brief hiatus from the organization, she answered: "Well Lacey and I had never met each other until I came back to TNA at the beginning of this year. I think having the chance to be around each other has changed any pre-conceived feelings we may have had for one another. Shes definitely one of a kind!"
Love also noted that she hopes to work with Mickie James one day.
United States Champion R-Truth def. Chris Jericho Santino Marella & Divas Champion Eve def. William Regal & Maryse Daniel Bryan def. The Miz WWE Champion John Cena & Evan Bourne def. Edge & Sheamus
AUSTIN, Texas While the WWE Universe saluted the men and women of the armed forces on Memorial Day, it was special guest host Ashton Kutcher who ordered the Raw Superstars into combat with one another in front of a capacity crowd. Atten-shun!
WWE Champion John Cena & Evan Bourne def. Edge & Sheamus (PHOTOS | WATCH) Edge thinks he just sooooo clever. The Ultimate Opportunist thought he had outsmarted his tag team opponents, WWE Champion John Cena & Randy Orton, by hammering The Vipers shoulder in an ambush prior to the match. Instead of forfeit, The Champ chose a new partner, Evan Bourne, to team with him against Edge & Sheamus.
As anyone whos ever faced Bourne knows, his athleticism and fearlessness make him an unpredictable foe. Once in the match, the intrepid Bourne refused to give up, kicking out of several near pinfalls.
When Bourne was able to contact his partner, The Champ rushed in and targeted his Irish antagonist. After a powerful back and forth, Cena tossed Sheamus from atop his shoulders and tagged in "Air" Bourne, who landed a devastating Shooting Star Press and covered the Irishman for the victory.
Cast of The A-Team to host Raw next Monday We love it when a plan comes together. And next Monday, the cast of The A-Team will bring together all the elements needed to offer a gangbuster night of Raw. The crack team of commandoes will host during Raw Viewer's Choice Night, during which viewers will be able to log onto WWE.com next Monday to choose the matches, stipulations and opponents they want to see compete during the first-ever, three-hour event, featuring Superstars from both Raw and SmackDown.
Alicia Fox executed a hit on Zack Ryder (PHOTOS | WATCH) Thanks to special guest host Ashton Kutcher, who stars in the action-comedy Killers, Zack Ryder was growing a little paranoid. Throughout the week, The Long Island Loudmouth had trashed the movie star on Twitter, where Kutcher has more than 5 million followers, and was worried after Kutcher put a hit out on him. After a series of false alarms from Superstars like Jerry Lawler, The Great Khali and Goldust, Ryder felt the sting of betrayal when his lady friend Alicia Fox leveled him with an unexpected scissor kick.
The Usos introduced themselves to the WWE Universe (PHOTOS | WATCH) Last week, after The Hart Dynasty defeated William Regal & Vladimir Kozlov, three mystery attackers struck them and left Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith and Natalya down. This week, it was mystery solved. The three introduced themselves to the WWE Universe as the Uso brothers, descendants of the Samoan Anoai family, and Tamina, the daughter of Jimmy Superfly Snuka.
While the three spoke, The Hart Dynasty interrupted to exact their revenge after Raw GM Bret Hart informed them that he had signed the Usos & Tamina to Raw and challenged them to retaliate. Unfortunately for the first family of sports-entertainment, the Usos and Tamina countered the attack and, just as theyd done the previous week, the three hit top rope splashes on the pink and black trio.
Daniel Bryan def. The Miz (PHOTOS | WATCH) The student has become the master. In a stunning turn of events, former NXT Rookie Daniel Bryan defeated his NXT Pro, The Miz after securing a one-night contract from special guest host Ashton Kutcher. The relationship between Daniel Bryan and Miz began as a contentious one and continued to erode from there. After his dismissal from NXT, the indy circuit sensation has been outspoken, attacking announcer Michael Cole and challenging his supposed mentor to a match. Daniel Bryan backed up his passionate words with a pin on the former United States and Unified Tag Team Champion.
After the bout, a frustrated Miz attacked Daniel Bryan, tossing him from the ring. As the melee approached the announce table, though, the former NXT Rookie flipped the script and sent Miz careening over the table right into Cole.
Edge attacked Randy Orton prior to their Tag Team Match Still seething from an RKO suffered earlier in the evening, Edge retaliated against Randy Orton. In the locker room area, The Ultimate Opportunist waited to pounce on The Viper, ramming a heavy door into his previously injured shoulder prior to their main event tag team match, scheduled to feature WWE Champion John Cena & Orton against Edge & Sheamus.
Raw General Manager Bret Hart arranged Raw Viewer's Choice Night for next Monday (PHOTOS | WATCH) Despite a financial offer from Ted DiBiase, Raw General Manager Bret Hart refused to relinquish the reins of power for next weeks Raw. Instead, at the suggestion of special guest host Ashton Kutcher, next week Hit Man will allow the WWE Universe to voice their opinions on WWE.com by choosing the matches, stipulations and opponents they want to see compete during the first-ever, three-hour Raw Viewer's Choice Night, featuring Superstars from both Raw and SmackDown. Even the WWE Hall of Famers longtime nemesis, Mr. McMahon, dropped by to congratulate Hart on his new role and to offer his seeming support for the idea.
Santino Marella & Divas Champion Eve def. William Regal & Maryse (PHOTOS | WATCH) Santino Marella got one step closer in his quest to convince Vladimir Kozlov to team with him. When the spicy Italian teamed with Divas Champion Eve against William Regal & Maryse, Kozlov looked on from ringside. Perhaps motivated by a hollow promise made by Santino that Eve would sleep with him, The Moscow Mauler head-butted Regal. The Englishman dropped like a sack of crumpets, and a stunned Santino quickly covered him for the win.
United States Champion R-Truth def. Chris Jericho (PHOTOS | WATCH) They appear to be men heading in opposite directions. Riding a wave of momentum, newly-minted United States Champion R-Truth faced a Superstar who seems to have wiped out lately, Chris Jericho. True to recent form, Truth displayed flashes of brilliance as he topped the self-important Superstar in a non-title bout.
Edge attacked Evan Bourne; Randy Orton RKOd Edge (PHOTOS | WATCH) Patience may be a virtue, but Edge has never shown himself to be a particularly virtuous man. Before the Memorial Day broadcast even began, Edge just couldnt wait to run his mouth.
The Rated-R Superstars pre-show rant was derailed by Evan Bourne, who challenged him to put his position in the WWE Championship Match at Fatal 4-Way in jeopardy. Edge appeared less than interested and attacked the high-flyer. While Bourne nearly toppled The Ultimate Opportunist, Edge proved too cunning and grounded the young Superstar with a Spear.
As the show began, a cocksure Edge picked up where hed left off, describing how much smarter he is than his Fatal 4-Way opponents, WWE Champion John Cena, Randy Orton and Sheamus. His overconfident outburst fizzled, however, when The Viper confronted him. After Edge dismissed his rival as suffering a shoulder injury, Orton made it perfectly clear he is 100 percent by dropping The Rated-R Superstar with an RKO
In a recent interview with the ClubWWI radio show, former manager to Rob Van Dam and Sabu, Bill Alphonso said the following about a possible run with TNA:
"I'm talking to Van Dam on a weekly basis. He's trying to get my foot into TNA. We'll see how that goes. There's a 20% chance. It's big money. You know what I mean? So it's hard to get in there. I'm a real good friend of Hulk Hogan's and he's the man. We were both born on August 11th, so hopefully that works out and it's right there in Orlando. So you might see me back on the tube. That's a possibility."
Lisa Marie Varon (a/k/a Tara; formerly known as Victoria in WWE) is expected to speak with WWE officials regarding a potential return to the company now that her contract with TNA has expired.
However, friends of Varon say it's possible she'll return to TNA should WWE not make her a better contract offer as she's on good terms with management again.
Contrary to reports stating Maria Kanellis has been negotiating with TNA Wrestling officials, the former WWE Diva said in a recently filmed "shoot" interview with Highspots that while she has received overtures from people affiliated with the organization, she has not had any official conversation or offer.
As stated in previous interviews, she has not, however, ruled out joining the promotion in the future.
As reported earlier, TNA president Dixie Carter and Jeremy Borash attended Mickie James' country music album release party in Nashville last week.
Friends of the recently released WWE Diva indicate she's not looking to do anything wrestling related for the time being as she is concentrating on her burgeoning country music career.
It's also being said that she doesn't discuss wrestling much anymore amongst those close to her, however, that will likely come to pass.
Nonetheless, Carter is said to be very interested in acquiring James as she is expected to offer her a deal once her ninety-day no-compete clause with WWE expires in July.
There's a report going around that WWE has signed independent women's wrestler Su Yung to a developmental deal. Yung has been wrestling with Memphis Wrestling in Tennessee and will reportedly work for Jerry Lawler's new promotion before starting at WWE developmental in July.
TNA has had at least some interest in former WCW ring announcer Gary Michael Cappetta. Cappetta has done a bit of work with Ring of Honor in recent years but currently is teaching Spanish at Christian Brothers Academy in New Jersey.
Big Show & Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston def. World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger & Drew McIntyre CM Punk def. Kane (Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match) Christian & Hornswoggle def. Dolph Ziggler & Chavo Guerrero Luke Gallows def. MVP The Undertaker def. Rey Mysterio (Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match)
CLEVELAND In his first SmackDown appearance since WrestleMania, Undertaker defeated Rey Mysterio to qualify for the World Heavyweight Championship Fatal 4-Way Match. And in another big first, CM Punk revealed his new look since having his head shaved at Over the Limit. Sporting a black mask covering his now-bald head, Punk defeated Kane to also qualify for Fatal 4-Way.
The Undertaker def. Rey Mysterio in a Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Making his return to Friday night, Undertaker battled Rey Mysterio for an opportunity to compete at Fatal 4-Way. Going into the match, both Superstars knew that Big Show and CM Punk already qualified to square off with World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger. Despite a formidable fight from Mysterio, The Deadman ultimately triumphed with the Tombstone. (Fatal 4-Way preview)
Luke Gallows def. MVP (PHOTOS | WATCH) Utilizing Straight Edge reinforcements, Luke Gallows all but guaranteed his victory against MVP. While Serena distracted the referee, the now-infamous hooded stranger appeared out of nowhere and drove MVPs skull to the canvas. Capitalizing on his dazed opponent, Gallows sealed the deal with the Gallows Pole.
Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston vs. Drew McIntyre announced (WATCH) Former champion Drew McIntyre invoked his rematch clause and will take on Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingstong next week on SmackDown.
Christian & Hornswoggle def. Dolph Ziggler & Chavo Guerrero (PHOTOS | WATCH) After Dolph Ziggler crashed the set of the Peep Show last week, Christian and Hornswoggle were out for some retribution. They found it when Christian turned the lights out for Chavo Guererro with the Killswitch. Unhappy with the outcome, Ziggler slapped an asphyxiating sleeper on Christian. After Christian drifted into la la land and Ziggler finally released the hold at the refs insistence Vickie Guerrero flashed him a mischievous smile and applauded from outside the ring.
CM Punk def. Kane in a Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) After Rey Mysterio shaved CM Punks head at Over the Limit, those in attendance and watching all over the world waited to see just how Punk would look. However, The Second City Saint didnt give the WWE Universe what they wanted. Instead, he concealed himself behind a skin-tight black mask, emblazoned with S.E.S. lettering. Protruding from the mask was Punks still-intact beard.
Although his symbol of purity had been taken, Punk seemed to embrace his new appearance and used it to fuel his fight against Kane. As Serena distracted the referee, Luke Gallows punched The Big Red Monster in the head. With Kane still reeling, Punk capitalized and hit the Go to Sleep for the Fatal 4-Way qualifying win.
Big Show & Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston def. World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger & Drew McIntyre (PHOTOS | WATCH) While ensuring that World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger was watching, Big Show delivered a debilitating knockout punch to Drew McIntyre to simultaneously win the bout for his team, while also sending a strong message to his Fatal 4-Way opponent.
Matt Hardy was suspended without pay (PHOTOS | WATCH) The night started with major news coming in the form of another letter from Mr. McMahon that Drew McIntyre hand-delivered to SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long. As Long read McMahons words out loud, it was revealed that Matt Hardy was suspended without pay for his reckless actions at Over the Limit.
After Long read the letter, McIntyre issued his own ominous words: If you turn a blind eye to my misfortunes one more time, I guarantee you, the next letter you receive from me will be informing you of your termination as General Manager.
Furious at the news, Matt Hardy entered the arena, itching to get his hands on McIntyre. Despite Hardys best efforts to get a piece of the Scottish Superstar, WWE officials restrained and prevented him from approaching the ring.
The Undertaker suffered a busted nose on this week's Smackdown, thanks to Rey Mysterio's 619. Taker bled for a few minutes before the match ended and no trainer was sent out to stop the blood. It's interesting that this happened after two matches were hurt at Over the Limit due to trainers coming out to stop cuts.
Some people in the company figure that the no-blood rule is just a phase and blame it mostly on Linda McMahon running for office. One of the main reasons WWE has stopped wanting blood on TV is because agreements that have been made to attract a higher class of sponsors. The feeling is that if WWE's popularity goes way down then they would probably change the rule but Linda McMahon winning or losing the election won't bring any changes. Dave Meltzer believes that the PG rule will likely be in effect until either the license deal with Mattel runs out, which is years from now, or another company, such as TNA, takes away from WWE's popularity.
TNA iMPACT Report May 27th, 2010 Report by Stuart Carapola, PWInsider
We open this weeks episode with a recap of the unveiling of the Top Ten Rankings and Kurt Angle voluntarily pulling himself out of the rankings, as well as the finish of last weeks main event that saw Ken Anderson get involved in Jeff Hardys win over Sting.
Were in Orlando, Florida, and tonight on Impact, the Beautiful People defend the Knockouts Tag Team Title against Sarita & Taylor Wilde, and Hall & Nash take on Team 3D and Ink Inc in a three way match. Plus, Jay Lethal faces Frankie Kazarian in singles action!
But right now, lets go to the ring for our show opening promo with the #3 contender, Jeff Hardy. Hardy says hello to the Creatures Of The Night, then says hes out here for one reason: to find out whats going on with Ken Anderson. He calls Anderson out to the ring to explain himself, and Anderson obliges. Anderson says that maybe he does things like that, extends hands, and gives assists when needed to confuse people, and maybe he did it to confuse Hardy, or to confuse the people, or maybe he did it because hes an asshole. But Anderson says to look at himself: hes got green hair, facepaint, tattoos, and his little dance, and says that old ladies on the street probably think hes an asshole, and he tells Hardy to embrace his inner assholiness. Anderson says theyre all assholes and wouldnt Hardy like to be an asshole too? He starts an asshole chant with the crowd, but before this goes too much further, here comes the former champ AJ Styles and hes got his entire gang with him. Styles says he just got here and saw that he had a match with Hardy tonight, and he shouldnt be allowed in the same ring as AJ and should have to but a ticket just to see him wrestle, but Eric Bischoff says Hardy requested to wrestle him. Hardy says he didnt ask to wrestle anyone, and Styles says he meant Anderson. He is the Phenomenal AJ Styles, The One. AJ asks Anderson if he knows who he is and Anderson says yes, hes The One, but wants to introduce himself to AJ: he hands the mic to Hardy, takes his personal mic as it drops from the ceiling, and says hes Mr Anderson Anderson. And with that, were at our first commercial!
Were back, and looking at a recap of the Team 3D-Jesse Neal situation that led to Brother Ray turning on Jesse and the two of them brawling last week on Impact. In fact, lets head to the ring for our first match
TNA World Tag Team Champions The Band vs Team 3D vs Ink Inc
As Hall & Nash make their way to the ring, we discover that theyre working under Freebird Rules, in that any two of the three of them can defend the title. Hall looks like hes started to pack some of that weight he lost back on. Moore and Young start, Young takes him down with a shoulderblock off the ropes, but Moore with a series of armdrags and an inverted atomic drop followed by a legdrop for 1. Young whips Moore into the corner but eats elbow on a charge and Moore with a bulldog for 2. Tag out to Jesse Neal and a double hiptoss followed by Moore hiptossing Neal onto Young for 2. Young whips Neal into the corner but eats boot on a charge and Neal with a crossbody out of the corner for 2. Young goes to the eyes and a big slam, but Brother Ray tags himself in but misses an elbowdrop and now Neal starts firing rights at Ray but Ray takes his head off with a lariat. Ray chops Neal in the corner and then sits on his back and starts crossfacing him. Devon tags himself in, which seemed to upset Ray, and Devon tosses Neal to his corner and allows him to tag Moore in. Devon takes Moore to the corner but Moore escapes and gets a sunset flip for 2 and follows that up with a leg lariat, then tags Neal back in. Blind tag to Ray who comes in and wipes out both Moore and Neal, then goes back to beating up Neal in the corner. Ray goes to the floor and gets a chair, but Devon grabs it away from him before he can nail Neal and the distraction allows Neal to hit the spear and pin Brother Ray for the win.
Winners: Ink Inc
Team 3D argue with one another while the Band laugh because theyre still the champions. Ray and Devon get into a little spat in the ring, then says Jesse Neals getting too big for his britches and challenges him to a match at Slammiversary, then tells Devon to stay out of it.
Backstage, Christy asks Kazarian how he feels coming off of his big win last night, and Kazarian says hes feeling great and its all because of Ric Flair. Flair says hes impressed, but if he wants to keep impressing Flair, hes got to go out there and beat Jay Lethal tonight. AJ walks in and says he needs to talk to Flair, but Flair is busy with Kazarian, AJ is AJ Styles and hell be fine. Kazarian vs Lethal is next!
We go to the Crappy Cam as Rob Van Dam is backstage saying that hes calling Sting out tonight. Sting has a shot at the World Title at Slammiversary, but a win over RVD is something Sting is never going to have.
Frankie Kazarian vs Jay Lethal
Kazarian opens up with a go behind and nails Lethal from behind and fires in a few shots, but Lethal with a leg lariat. Lethal backdropped to the apron, but comes back in with a Frankensteiner that sends Kazarian to the floor and Lethal follows him out with a dive as we get our weekly hype for Dixie Carters Twitter account. Lethal whips Kazarian to the corner and follows him in with a dropkick, but Ric Flair comes down to ringside and distracts Lethal, allowing Kazarian to hit a running knee to the back and fire in several vicious shots in the corner. Kazarian with a slam and a springboard legdrop and stops to share a laugh with Flair. Lethal escapes a suplex attempt and fires in several shots of his own and comes off the ropes with a flying forearm. Lethal with a moonsault out of the corner for 2, Kazarian counters with a chinbreaker, but Lethal with another leg lariat and then goes for the figure four, stalls for time while doing his Flair impersonation for way too long to make it believable, and finally locks it in. Flair is up on the apron yelling at Kazarian to get to the ropes and Kazarian makes it and forces the break. Flair is happy and Lethal goes over to Flair and gets piefaced, so Lethal decks him in the face, allowing Kazarian to roll him up from behind with a handful of tights for the win.
Winner: Frankie Kazarian
Flair comes in the ring and puts the boots to Lethal and lays him out with a chop, then removes his shirt to reveal the Herculean Flair Physique. Flair continues the beating in the corner as Kazarian is down writhing in pain in the corner, and finally Lethal starts firing back on a guy nearly three times as old as he is, and Flair does the Flop, then does his backdrop out of the corner, and finally gets clotheslined over the top to the floor. Cue AJ Styles, who finally runs in and beats the crap out of Jay Lethal, but Kazarian shoves him out of the way and now Kazarian and AJ get in each others face arguing over which of them gets to beat up Lethal, but Lethal now uses a distraction to his advantage, dropkicking both guys to the floor. Now Flair gets in AJs face on the ramp over his interference in the incident, and Flair takes Kazarian and walks out on AJ.
Still to come, RVD calls out Sting and AJ Styles takes on Ken Anderson! But wait a minute Shannon Moore has been laid out in the back and theres a playing card on his back! What could this mean?
We now go to a video package recapping the recent events in the Desmond Wolfe-Abyss feud, leading into last week when Desmond attacked Abyss with a broken bottle, but Abyss came back and beat him up anyway before carrying Chelsea off.
And now, lets go back to the ring for oh man
Orlando Jordan vs Abyss
This week, Jordan has pasties of Abyss face on his nipples. Okay. Abyss is accompanied to the ring by his new second, Chelsea, and she does not look at all happy. Lockup and Jordan goes after the arm, but Abyss pulls it away and instead goes to an arm wringer on Jordan. Jordan rolls through to a wristlock of his own and starts firing elbows into the arm. Abyss lays in a series of shots and then YANKS THE PASTIES OFF! What a heel. HUGE fing backdrop on Jordan, but Abyss misses a charge in the corner and Jordan goes back to work on the arm, not only beating on it but biting it as well. Jordan rips the bandage off and continues attacking the arm, now dropping knees on it as well. Jordan goes up top and hits Old School on the arm of Abyss, stops to pose for the crowd, then covers for 2. Jordan misses an elbowdrop on the arm then runs right into a big boot. Abyss with a Choo Choo in the corner and goes for a chokeslam, but Jordan escapes by raking the arm. Jordan tries a leapfrog but Abyss catches him very suggestively and hits an Ocean Cyclone Suplex for 2, then clotheslines Jordan over the top to the floor. Jordan escapes a slam attempt and shoves Abyss into Chelsea, who gets completely wiped out. Abyss is very upset over this turn of events and stops briefly to beat up Jordan and ram him into the ringpost before going to check on Chelsea, but Desmond Wolfe comes out of nowhere to nail Abyss with a pipe to draw the DQ.
Winner: Abyss by DQ
Desmond tosses Abyss back into the ring and he and Jordan put the boots to Abyss but Rob Terry comes thundering out and cleans house on both Desmond and Jordan, and Desmond bails, so Terry kills Jordan with a spinebuster and looks constipated as Abyss goes to check on Chelsea again and carry her lifeless form to the back in a scene reminiscent of Hulk Hogan carrying Elizabeth to the back on Saturday Nights Main Event.
The World Champion, Rob Van Dam, is backstage, and hes WALKING! And he calls out Sting, next!
Were back, and we see a video package recapping the RVD-Sting feud, and then we go to the ring with Rob Van Dam, who says that Sting has his title shot, and thats what he wanted right? RVD is well aware of Stings iconic status, but RVD has a few accomplishments of his own, and its funny that their paths have never crossed before, but theyre crossing at Slammiversary, and if Sting comes to the ring now, hell give Sting a preview of what to expect at Slammiversary. Stings music hits, and out comes no, actually he doesnt. Instead, we see the video of the incident a couple of months ago when Sting beat the crap out of RVD for like 15 minutes. Now we go to Sting up in the rafters, and he says that was just a small taste of what to expect, and at Slammiversary, itll be showtime and Stings going to take the TNA World Title.
We go to the Crappy Cam, as Hulk Hogan is telling Ken Anderson that hes put himself in a tought spot because everyone hates him, and Anderson admits that hes been an asshole, but Hogan tells him that he sees money when he looks at Anderson, but if he keeps doing what hes doing hes never going to make it around here. Anderson insists that when he extended his hand to Hardy, he meant it, and hes been doing some serious soul searching, and he just wants Hogan to watch what he does tonight against AJ and let his actions speak for him.
We go to Mike and Taz, who are joined by Puppet The Psycho Dwarf, owner of the midget wrestling program that SpikeTV is going to be airing in the near future. From there we go backstage to Christy with Roxxi, who scored a non-title win over Madison Rayne last week. Roxxi is excited to be back, but its a little familiar because she was back on New Years Eve but she broke her ankle. But now shes back and shes ready for whatever TNA has for her. Christy gives her the good news that because she beat Madison Rayne last week, shes going to challenge Madison for the Knockouts Title at Slammiversary. And speaking of Knockouts titles
Knockouts Tag Team Title Match: Velvet Sky & Lacey Von Erich vs Sarita & Taylor Wilde
Sarita and Velvet start, Sarita with a go behind but Velvet reverses to an overhook hiptoss. Sarita mocks her with a little dance then rolls her up for 2, then tags in Taylor who hits a rolling senton for 2. Taylor with a blind tag and a boot to the face of Velvet then sweeps the legs and a double team elbowdrop followed by a three quarter nelson by Sarita for 2. Taylor tags back in and hits a running dropkick to the face of Velvet for 2, but Lacey nails her from the outside and tags herself in. Velvet and Lacey ram Taylor into the corner and hit a double clothesline and Lacey with the clawslam on Taylor for the most demoralizing loss in Taylor Wildes career.
Winners: The Beautiful People
Puppet leaves the broadcast booth and runs into the ring with the Beautiful People and they all start dancing with him until he runs over and slaps Velvet on the ass. Suddenly the mood changes and Velvet slaps him and Madison DDTs him, and then they stomp the hell out of him while Lacey just stands there and looks confused. She goes to check on him, but it was just a ruse, as Puppet suckers her into a big liplock and Lacey likes it! They start rolling around in the middle of the ring making out as Velvet stands on the ramp looking disgusted.
We go to the Crappy Cam, as Jeff Hardy says hes got a little experience in the European style, but tonights going to be his first time in the ring with Desmond Wolfe. And were at commercial!
Were back, and Kurt Angles going to join us at the broadcast booth for our next match, and hes looking a lot healthier than he has in a while. Hes here to scout the Top Ten Rankings in our next match
Desmond Wolfe vs Jeff Hardy
Desmond opens up right away with a headbutt to the midsection and a European Uppercut, then takes Hardy down with a shoulderblock. They do a fast paced sequence that ends with Hardy getting a rollup for 2. Wolfe with another European Uppercut and the boot to the back/forearm to the chest combo in the corner for 2. Hardy with a back spinkick and a dropkick in the corner and Wolfe bails to the floor, but Hardy with a pendulum dropkick and a slingshot crossbody over the top to the floor on Desmond. Hardy turns his back to play to the fans, so Desmond nails him from behind and then rolls him back in the ring. Wolfe covers Hardy for 2, but Hardy escapes and gets a short clothesline for 2. Hardy goes for the Twist Of Fate but Wolfe counters to a snap armwhip for 2. Wolfe puts Hardy up top and goes for the Tower Of London, Hardy escapes, but Wolfe with the running European Uppercut in the corner. Wolfe goes for a lariat, Hardy ducks it but Wolfe with a hammerlock Divorce Court for 2. Hardy comes back with a headscissors and a clothesline and then goes for the Whisper In The Wind, but accidentally nails the ref. Hardy with the Twist Of Fate but theres no ref, so Wolfe grabs a sock full of quarters out of his tights and nails Hardy with it for the upset win!
Winner: Desmond Wolfe
After a commercial break, were back in the ring with Matt Morgan, who says that first they get jumped by Samoa Joe, then they get robbed of their tag title by Hall & Nash, and now they need to find a new partner to face Hall & Nash at Slammiversary for the title he felt he never lost. He says theyre going to turn this negative into a positive because he believes in opportunities and making stars here in TNA, so hes going to grant an open invitation to anyone who wants to be 1/2 of the tag champs alongside them at Slammiversary. He calls out the little bald guy in the back (meaning Kurt Angle) and tells him to come on down to the ring. Angle obliges, so Morgan asks him if he wants to be a star and one half of the tag champs. Angle says hes not a little bald guy, and secondly, the last time they were in this ring he pinned Morgans ass. Morgan likes guys with a sense of humor, so hes going to ask him again if he wants to be their partner at Slammiversary, but before Angle can answer, Morgan nails him and says Not. Angle comes after him and security drags Angle off, and while Morgan stands there mocking Angle, Samoa Joe comes stalking down to the ring and goes after Morgan, who bails out to the floor with a big smile on his face. Morgan says hes not going to get the answer hes looking for tonight, so as of now, the Blueprint is off the clock. Samoa Joe turns around and has a staredown with Kurt Angle, but Angle walks away before it gets physical.
We go to Mike and Taz, who inform us of some title matches that have been signed for Slammiversary: Douglas Williams defends the X-Division Title against Brian Kendrick, The Band defends the tag title against Matt Morgan and a partner, and of course, RVD defends the TNA World Title against Sting.
Its main event time!
AJ Styles vs Ken Anderson
The bell rings and were off. AJ dances around Anderson, but Anderson doesnt look impressed. AJ and Anderson tie up and fight for control. Anderson takes AJ to the corner and breaks clean as AJ gives him a bemused look. AJ takes a side headlock, Anderson tries to send him to the ropes but AJ keeps the headlock. Anderson reverses to a headlock of his own and AJ tries to escape, but Anderson keeps the headlock. AJ goes for a suplex, but Anderson keeps the headlock and takes AJ down with it. Anderson gets a 1 count off the headlock, but AJ gets the shoulder up and catches Anderson in a headscissors. Anderson rolls through and goes back to the headlock. AJ crossfaces Anderson and goes back to the headscissors, but Anderson kicks out and gets caught back in a headlock by AJ. Anderson rolls AJ to his back for a 2 count and AJ releases the headlock and they both get to their feet and start exchanging blows. Anderson with a boot and goes back to the headlock and they do a fast exchange that ends with AJ hitting a sweet dropkick for 2. Anderson fires away with a series of rights, but AJ with a boot to the gut and a leapfrog, but Anderson catches him and hits a Finlay Roll for 2. AJ goes to the eyes and hits an enziguiri for 2, then starts pounding away on Anderson and chokes him with his boot. AJ with a snapmare and we HIT THE CHINLOCK! Anderson fights his way out and comes off the ropes with a crossbody, but AJ rolls through and uses both the ropes and the tights to get the win.
Winner: AJ Styles
Solid WRESTLING match to close the show. I like it. Anderson has a smirk on his face as he calls for his mic to drop, and he tells AJ that he got him, and the coolest thing was that AJ got him at his own game. AJ claims a totally clean win, and Anderson asks his assholes if AJ pulled his tights, and the crowd chants YES HE DID! so Anderson agrees with the assholes and attacks AJ and starts stomping a mudhole in him. Beer Money runs in and attacks Anderson and now its a 3-on-1, but Jeff Hardys music hits and Hardy comes running out with a chair and the heels bail. Anderson and Hardy back up into each other and have an uncomfortable faceoff, but Hardy extends the hand and Anderson shakes it, and were off the air.
Rarely used Knockout avoids getting cut? Posted by Mark Virginia on 05/29/2010 at 04:46 PM
Infrequently seen TNA Knockout Hamada was recently in danger of being released but scored a reprieve from management due to the shortage of female wrestling created by Lisa Marie Varon's departure from the organization, as well as injuries suffered by Angelina Love and Daffney. Talk of cutting Hamada led to much head scratching amongst the wrestlers as she's considered the best worker in the Knockouts division.
Latest news on Homicide's status with TNA Posted by Mark Virginia on 05/29/2010 at 04:27 PM
Homicide is working with bad ribs, which he suffered a few weeks ago wrestling in a bad ring at an independent show. He hurt himself worse working against Jushin Thunder Liger at a Jersey All Pro Wrestling event last Saturday as they concluded the match prematurely.

Zack Ryder def. Evan Bourne (PHOTOS | WATCH) Zack Ryder must have found some time in his busy tanning schedule to scout Evan Bourne, because The Long Island Loudmouth looked prepared for his opponent going into tonights main event. Although the insanely athletic Raw Superstar attacked Ryder early with a devastating mix of martial arts strikes and aerial maneuvers, the cocky young competitor managed to escape Bournes Shooting Star Press. With the high-flyer stunned, Ryder seized the opportunity and nailed the Zack Attack for the 1-2-3.
Yoshi Tatsu def. Primo (PHOTOS | WATCH) Few Superstars have been as successful in 2010 as Yoshi Tatsu. Since making the move to Raw, the Japanese Superstar has defeated nearly every opponent that has been placed in front of him and tonight was no different. Going against Primo, Tatsu displayed his awe-inspiring offense, nailing a series of flying kicks on his way to a big win.
Cody Rhodes def. JTG (PHOTOS | WATCH) A week after picking up a victory over the physically imposing Chris Masters on WWE Superstars, Cody Rhodes continued to impress on Thursday nights. Going up against the explosive JTG, the second-generation Superstar proved that he was raised to compete in the ring. Showing off his natural ability, Rhodes grounded JTG and controlled the action. Even when the Brooklyn Superstar nailed a dropkick that sent Rhodes to the outside, the Georgia native kept his composure. In the end, a trip to the Cross Rhodes sealed JTGs fate and gave the former World Tag Team Champion the victory.

According to Dave Meltzer, Batista's contract with WWE expires at the end of the month and he is finished with WWE for the time being. He was originally scheduled to do house shows for several more weeks, but after suffering a back and tailbone injury at Over The Limit, did his final segment for the company on RAW this past Monday.
People within WWE expect him to be back sooner than later. Most feel, at the latest, he'll be back early next year in time for Wrestlemania. At 41 years old, it's believed that he'll be back since he knows he won't have other opportunities to make the kind of money he makes in WWE.
There is talk about him doing MMA, but most feel that won't go anywhere.

Carlito's dad comments on his son's release Posted by Chris Kaufman on 05/25/2010 at 01:17 AM
On the heels of the release of Carlito from WWE last week, his father, Carlos Colon, Sr., has broken his silence about the situation by revealing that Carlito had in fact been abusing painkillers. The pills were used at first to cure debilitating back pain that Carlito was suffering from, but his use then spiraled into abuse. Here is a bit of what Colon had to say:
"I want to clarify that Carly was not suspended for using cocaine, or heroin or marijuana, but for the abuse of painkillers, which is not unusual because they cause pain falls and blows, combined with the constant traveling. Carly started using one or two for his back pain, but it seems that the situation has become much more serious and needs help."
Colon then went on to state that the majority of Carlito's back pain came from his execution of his patented Backstabber finishing maneuver, which required him to always endure the brunt of the weight of wrestlers weighing anywhere between 200-300 pounds. Carlito never sought medical attention for his back pains, which caused him to inevitably rely on painkillers.
The woman who attacked Natalya on tonight's RAW was Sarona Snuka, daughter of Jimmy Snuka. Sarona is known as Tamina in WWE developmental. The male wrestlers with her were Jimmy and Jules Uso, the sons of former WWE star Rikishi.
The Uso brothers and Tamina laid out The Hart Dynasty and all three hit top rope splashes, ala Jimmy Snuka, on the fallen Harts.
The three have worked with G-Rilla as a Samoan stable in WWE developmental for some time now and have received rave reviews, particularly the Uso brothers tag team. It looks like they are now on the RAW roster.
