- One half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions Travis Tomko underwent
emergency surgery today. We don't have anymore details other than the
New Japan promotion announced it was for a torn "muscle under the
side." We should have more details available soon.
* ECW Champion CM Punk def. Kenny Dykstra * Shelton Benjamin def. Tommy Dreamer * Jesse & Festus def. Deuce & Domino * Kevin Thorn def. Nunzio * Kane def. Big Daddy V & Matt Striker (Handicap Match)
TAMPA, Fla. - Kane overcame the odds on ECW on Sci Fi, earning a win in his Handicap Match against Big Daddy V & Matt Striker. But after the bell, the duo stuffed him like a turkey and ended the night on top of the world. (WATCH) Read more on this story
Earlier in the evening, our fans received an early present for the holidays. Elijah Burke ushered in Shelton Benjamin as ECWs newest roster addition. It didnt take long for the former Raw Superstar to make an impact. He defeated ECW Original Tommy Dreamer, pleasing the brand's self-proclaimed Guiding Light. Burke announced he once led the charge to change the Land of the Extreme, claiming he is now doing it again.
If a new Superstar wasnt enough for our fans to kick off the holiday season, a scorching hot fight between Kelly Kelly and Layla certainly was. Layla addressed the Tampa, Fla., audience, boasting that she is better than Kelly in every way possible. She also made sure to give thanks for The Miz and his decision to arrange a catfight between the two Divas next week. Before Layla could finish, Kelly attacked her and started a food fight that would make any Thanksgiving dinner fail in comparison. (WATCH)
ECW Champion CM Punk kicked off ECW on Sci Fi, riding his white hot winning streak for another night. The match also displayed the continuance of the agreement between ECW General Manager Armando Estrada and SmackDown Acting General Manager Vickie Guerrero.
In other Tuesday night action, Kevin Thorn returned with his new look to ECW on Sci Fi, earning a convincing win against Nunzio. WWE Tag Team Champions John Morrison & The Miz also offered their commentary while Jesse & Festus bested Deuce & Domino.
Dont miss the next meeting between Kelly and Layla, and find out what more will develop with Big Daddy V and Kane in sports-entertainments biggest rivalry. Watch ECW on Sci Fi on Tuesday at 10/9 CT.
Matt Hardy underwent an emergency appendectomy in a Tampa, Fla.
hospital tonight. He was scheduled to appear at tonight's SmackDown
taping, but this suddenly came up. Hardy's expected to be out of action
for one to three months. Hardy didn't appear at the tapings, so this
health issue surfaced earlier in the day.
Here is WWE.com's official announcement regarding his appendectomy:
Matt Hardy undergoes surgery Written: November 21, 2007
TAMPA,
Fla. SmackDown Superstar Matt Hardy underwent an emergency
appendectomy at a Tampa area hospital tonight. Doctors expect the
surgery to keep Hardy out of action anywhere from 1-3 months.
An
appendectomy by definition is the removal of the appendix from the
lower right area of the abdomen. Oftentimes, if the surgery is not
performed immediately, severe consequences can follow.
Hardys
emergency surgery comes less than a week after suffering a knee injury
at the hands of his former partner, the United States Champion MVP. Did
the attack by MVP help lead to the appendectomy that Hardy underwent
tonight?
Stay tuned to WWE.com for updates on Matt Hardys condition.
* Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Kennedy (no contest) * Jerry "The King" Lawler def. Santino Marella * Jeff Hardy def. Umaga (disqualification) * Cody Rhodes def. Hardcore Holly * Mickie James (pin) & Maria def. Jillian Hall & Melina * Hornswoggle def. Carlito
The student has become the master. After suffering three consecutive defeats at the hands of Hardcore Holly, Cody Rhodes has finally managed to top the former World Tag Team Champion.
The young upstart spent months trying to earn the veterans respect. Now, it seems, Rhodes has drawn on those experiences to overcome his mentor.
Rhodes win comes just one day after he and Holly teamed up to challenge reigning World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch for the title at Survivor Series. While the duo lost the match, Rhodes nonetheless gained valuable ring time.
Just one day before the match, Holly spoke with WWE.com about how Rhodes was still green and how he was teaching his young partner to toughen up and kick ass.
Mr. Holly, consider those to be lessons learned.
Before Rhodes could celebrate, though, Randy Orton dropped both he and Holly with RKOs. It seemed the WWE Champ didnt appreciate having to share the spotlight on what he perceived as his night.
In other Raw action:
King, Interrupted
After another humiliation last week, compliments of Jerry The King Lawler, you might expect to find Santino Marella hiding out in a dark basement. But no, the hot-headed grappler challenged Lawler to a rematch. After suffering Marellas disrespectful words, Lawler pulled out the win. But Randy Orton cut any celebrating short when he dropped Lawler with an RKO, just as he had done with Rhodes and Holly.
Musical Chair
It probably wasnt nearly as satisfying as laying out Randy Orton with Sweet Chin Music, but Mr. Kennedy would have to do. As Shawn Michaels taunted Orton, the Green Bay, Wisc., native shot into the ring and challenged HBK. After a give-and-take brawl, Michaels finally put Mr. Kennedy to sleep with Sweet Chin Music through a steel chair.
Flight Delay
In his matchup against Jeff Hardy, Umaga appeared determined to down the man who had eliminated him the night before at Survivor Series. Just as it appeared the aerial artist would divebomb the Samoan Bulldozer again, yuck-mouthed ogre Snitsky trounced into the ring and dropped blows on Hardy. Not one to let Umaga gain any sort of advantage, Triple H shot in and helped Hardy repel the twin terrors.
Diva Four Play
In a Divas Tag Team Match, Mickie James paired with Maria to take on Jillian Hall & Melina, the woman James had pinned the night before at Survivor Series. After hitting a rough patch with Jillian, James showed why shes been on a tear lately as she laid the Kiss of Death on the tone-deaf Diva and pinned her for the three-count.
No Small Feat
The night after going face-to-knee cap with The Great Khali at Survivor Series and being rescued by Finlay, Hornswoggle appeared pumped to take on the challenge of Carlito. At the behest of Mr. McMahon, the Caribbean Bad Apple was sent to teach the leprechaun some tough love. Instead, Finlay intervened and pushed Hornswoggle over the top again.
Fire Extinguisher
An excited Randy Orton could hardly wait. The WWE Champion stood poised to accept a torch that he said symbolized the ushering in of the Orton era. But as he awaited the hand off of the torch, one man stood in his way: Chris Jericho. The "Sexy Beast" interrupted the ceremony and let Orton know that hes intent on capturing the WWE Championship.
TNA Wrestling has officially signed female wrestler Jessica Kresa,
better known as "ODB". She has worked with the company without a
contract since Bound For Glory.
ODB made her first TNA debut
back in 2004 when she wrestled with the ring name "Poison". After that
short stint, she was picked up by Ohio Valley Wrestling, WWE's
developmental territory. There, she quickly rose to the top of their
women's division and eventually became the OVW Women's champion.
During an episode of TNA Today a few weeks ago, ODB revealed that her name stands for "One Dirty B****".

World Heavyweight Champion Batista def. Mark Henry (No Disqualification Match)
WICHITA, Kan. Just two days before they both take part in the 10-Man Traditional Survivor Series Match, Finlay took on Raw Superstar and Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy in a non-title contest. The Irishman and two of his Survivor Series partners were on the losing end of a Six-Man Tag Match to Hardy and two of his teammates this past Monday on Raw, and he still hoped to make one last impression before the battle on Sunday. Hardys speed and agility gave him an early advantage, but on this night, the ever-physical Finlay resorted to using his trusted shillelagh, giving Jeff the win via disqualification. After the match, Jeff informed his brother Matt that he was leaving the arena because he had plans, and Jeffs absence would lead to severe consequences for his sibling. Enduring spirit
This past Monday on Raw, The Hardys teamed up with Rey Mysterio. On SmackDown, the Master of the 619, a member of Triple Hs team this Sunday, was in one-on-one action against Mr. Kennedy, who will be part of Umagas team at Survivor Series. The high-flying style of Mysterio kept Kennedy at bay for the majority of the match, and when it looked as if Raws loudmouth was going to steal a victory, Mysterio once again showed the heart he possesses when he pinned and defeated Mr. Kennedy. Will Reys success on SmackDown carry over to this Sunday on pay-per-view? Existing demons
Also on SmackDown, Hornswoggle reluctantly took part in the official weigh-in for his match Sunday against The Great Khali. The usually fun-natured lillegitimate son of Mr. McMahon was all frowns as he came face-to-leg with the largest man in sports-entertainment. (See photos from the weigh-in) Khali sent a strong message to Hornswoggle when he crushed the hat of the happy-go-lucky Superstar. If Khali applies his Vise Grip at Survivor Series, he may literally crush the laughter out of the Chairmans bastard child. (Watch the weigh-in) From the ashes to the top
The evolution of Beth Phoenix continued on SmackDown when the Womens Champion teamed with Victoria to take on Torrie Wilson & Mickie James. The dominant Phoenix devastated Wilson to get the victory, and there appears to be no slowing down the Glamazon. Will Beth Phoenix and her Diva team destroy the competition on Sunday or will one of her opponents step up and try to thwart all of the Glamazons plans? Tarnished gold
The uneasy partnership between Matt Hardy and United States Champion MVP imploded on SmackDown when the two faced ECWs John Morrison & The Miz for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The self-proclaimed Shaman of Sexy and Miz capitalized on the self-destructing partners and became the new champions. Immediately following the loss, MVP challenged the new champs to a rematch, but the already beaten Hardy couldnt overcome an injury to his leg and Miz & Morrison left Wichita with the gold. The prone Hardy was left wide open for a vicious attack at the hands of MVP, leaving the former tag champions and Survivor Series foes in complete disarray and Matt Hardy in pain. Read the full story King of the jungle
The World Heavyweight Champion Batista challenged Mark Henry to a No Disqualification Match just two days before he puts the gold on the line against Undertaker in Hell in a Cell. The Animal sent his destructive message to The Phenom when he destroyed the Worlds Strongest Man. The time for talk is over on Sunday when Batista and Undertaker clash for the fifth time over the title in the confines of the devils playground. Read the full story

NoDQ.com > WWE > Chris Jericho to have new moves and finisher? Posted by Bobby Spade on 11/14/2007 at 08:59 PM
The following is from Dave Meltzer:
The Chris Jericho WWE Magazine cover shot is legit and there is a major article inside talking with him. He puts over the idea of working with Cena, HHH, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Kennedy and MVP. He said he went to Lance Storm's wrestling school to work out some of his ring rust. He is also coming back with a new finishing move and will debut some new moves.
MVP & Mr. Kennedy def. The Hardys Kelly Kelly & Michelle McCool def. Melina & Layla ECW Champion CM Punk def. Jamie Noble (non-title match)
WICHITA, Kan. ECW Champion CM Punk added another win to his tally since obtaining the gold, but it didnt come without repercussion as John Morrison and The Miz attacked the Straightedge Superstar just before ECW on Sci Fi went off the air. (WATCH) More on this story
Champions kicked off the night, as well, as WWE Tag Team Champions Matt Hardy & Montel Vontavious Porter found themselves on opposing sides for the second consecutive night. On Raw just 24 hours earlier, The Hardys & Rey Mysterio earned a victory over MVP, Mr. Kennedy & Finlay. Matt did nothing to help his fellow champion when his brother covered MVP for the victory.
In the Land of the Extreme, however, MVP & Mr. Kennedy had better luck in tag team action against the Hardys. After Kennedy caused Jeff to take a nasty spill, MVP covered the unconscious Hardy for the win. To say the least, Matt looked none-too-happy with his regular tag partner. Kennedy then went for a chair to further demolish Jeff, but with all eyes watching, MVP suspiciously aided off the attacks to help his partner's brother.
Later in the evening, Matt Striker found himself face-to-face with the Big Red Machine. He explained that Big Daddy V is supposedly recovering from the flu and resting up for his Survivor Series contest, adding that his behemoth protegé will demolish Kane and his team on Sunday. Kane burst into the ring and taught Striker a lesson. He was left eating canvas, courtesy of a chokeslam by the beast. Did Daddy get the message Kane relayed through Striker? Will he be ready come Sunday for the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match? (WATCH)
Speaking of Survivor Series, we were given a sneak preview of the 10 Diva Tag Team Match when Kelly Kelly & Michelle McCool took on Layla & Melina. The blondes ran away with the victory, perhaps foreshadowing a positive change to Kellys recent hard luck since taking on more match participation.
Dont miss ECW Superstars this Sunday in Survivor Series at 8/7 CT only on pay-per-view and check out what develops on the next ECW on Sci Fi, Tuesday at 10/9 CT.
Batista & Undertaker def. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch Jeff & Matt Hardy & Rey Mysterio def. Mr. Kennedy & MVP & Finlay Beth Phoenix def. Maria Mickie James & Michelle McCool & Kelly Kelly def. Melina & Jillian Hall & Layla Jerry Lawler def. Santino Marella Triple H vs. Umaga (no contest)
TOPEKA, Kan. After getting moistened to the marrow with beer last Monday night at the hands of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Santino Marella appeared thirsty for revenge this week during the Survivor Series kickoff. After coming to the aid of his girlfriend Maria, who was pummeled by the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix, the hot-blooded grappler called Austin out onto the mat, perhaps knowing the Texas Rattlesnake was nowhere near the Kansas Expo Arena. When Austin didnt show, Marella channeled his venom at Raw announcer and Stone Cold friend Jim Ross. But Good Ol J.R.s announcing partner, Jerry The King Lawler, intervened in an attempt to tame the Italian Stallion. (WATCH)
Six Pack In a preview of next Sundays Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match, a pride of WWE Superstars put the ring ropes to the test in a Six-Man Tag Team Match. Jeff & Matt Hardy & Rey Mysterio tackled the onslaught of Mr. Kennedy & MVP & Finlay. Rising above their competition, The Hardys & Mysterio came out victorious.
Women on the Verge In a tribute to beauty and brawn, GM Regal arranged for six Divas from all three WWE brands to clash Monday night in a Six Divas Tag Team Match. Mickie James, Michelle McCool & Kelly Kelly battled Melina, Jillian Hall & Layla. With an eye toward the 10-Diva Tag Team Match at Survivor Series, Mickie James pinned Layla for the three-count.
Training Day With direct orders from Mr. McMahon himself, William Regal and Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman helped train Hornswoggle for his Survivor Series match against The Great Khali. Coachman even went so far as to impersonate Khali himself. (WATCH)
Match Made in Hell At the invitation of General Manager William Regal, Batista & Undertaker matched up on Raw to tackle World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch. The two men, determined to destroy one another at Survivor Series this Sunday during their Hell in a Cell Match, warily choked down their hatred and joined forces. (WATCH)
Punt Attempt A river of hostility continues to flow between Shawn Michaels and WWE Champion Randy Orton. During a heated exchange between the two during a face-off moderated by Mr. McMahon, Orton attacked HBK and prepared to punt his nemesis in the head. But Mr. McMahon stopped him, telling the Legend Killer to save the debilitating shot for their impending battle. (WATCH)
Timmm-bbberrr! Triple H and Umaga knocked into each other like a towering pair of redwoods in a tornado. With the ring surrounded by their respective teammates for the tri-branded Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match, the two titans faced off in a Lumberjack Match. After suffering several cheap shots from the Samoan Bulldozers teammates, The Game climbed back into the ring to finally chop down his opponent. However, with such combustible elements around the ring at the same time, all hell was bound to break loose and it did. (WATCH)

FULL PAY-PER-VIEW RESULTS:
Genesis kicked off with the playing of the National Anthem to pay tribute to our brave in honor of Veteran's Day.
Footage was shown of a stretch limo arriving at the Pay-Per-View - one has to assume it contains Sting's mystery partner!
The "Shop Of Horrors" match between Abyss and the maniacal Black Reign was up first. It was an all-out hardcore brawl the likes of which we've never seen, with Reign's hellish "Shop" at the top of the entrance ramp. At one point, manager James Mitchell came out to help Reign, but Abyss shoved Reign's pet rat in the manager's shirt! Abyss won the bout with the Black Hole Slam, but after the match he made the mistake of unlocking the black box at ringside. Inside was a demonic monster just as bizarre looking as Black Reign - and he joined Reign in annihilating Abyss. Together, they locked Abyss in the black box and ran it off the top of the entrance ramp all the way down to the concrete floor!
In the back, Jeremy Borash attempted to find out who was in the limo - but security blocked him.
Backstage, Crystal interviewed Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin about their upcoming bout with Team 3D. The Machineguns had a very serious tone as they claimed they were fighting for the entire X Division.
The Motor City Machineguns took the fight immediately to Team 3D on the entrance ramp, using their X style to gain the advantage early on. After 3D threatened to walk out on the match, they regrouped and came back with power moves, beating down Alex Shelley. Chris Sabin eventually tagged in and joined Shelley in unleashing a potent high-flying attack on 3D. Later, as Shelley crashed and burned on the outside, Team 3D assaulted Sabin two-on-one. Team 3D set up a table in the corner of the ring, but Sabin leaped off it and sent Devon crashing into the wood! Shelley got his energy back and joined Sabin in double-teaming Brother Ray as The Motor City Machines got the pin and the win!
Backstage, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle and his tag team partner Kevin Nash nearly got into a brawl after some heated words about the main event.
Prior to the Knockout Women's Championship, Crystal interviewed reigning titleholder Gail Kim, who talked about how important the gold - and the women's division - means to her.
In an amazing four-way women's match, against overwhelming odds, Gail Kim retained the championship by beating ODB after Roxxi sprayed mist in ODB's face. After the match, Awesome Kong appeared and had a staredown with Gail as she awaits her shot at the title!
In the backstage area, Karen Angle seduced her way past the security to find out who was in the limo - but it turned out to be "Cowboy" James Storm and Eric Young, who were having a drinking contest!
Up next was the X Division Championship between "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal and "The Guru" Sonjay Dutt. The bout got heated between the two friends at times as they showcased their X Division arsenal. However, Lethal was able to beat Dutt to retain the championship after the "Lethal Combination" and a flying top rope elbow drop! After the bout, Lethal and Dutt reconciled their differences. Lethal invited ringside valet SoCal Val into the squared circle to celebrate the win, but it was cut short when Team 3D hit the arena! Brother Ray and Devon annihilated "Black Machismo" and "The Guru" and stole the X Division Championship! Brother Ray got on the microphone and claimed Sabin and Shelley cheated earlier and as a result the entire X Division will pay as they're taking the title hostage!
In the back, Crystal interviewed Kevin Nash about tonight's World Title main event. Nash said he had one mission - to walk out the champion. He also added that it wasn't Scott Hall who was Sting's partner. After the interview, Crystal found "Cowboy" James Storm and Eric Young continuing their drinking contest.
In the TNA World Tag Team Championship match, AJ Styles and Tomko beat the legendary Steiner Brothers to retain the gold after AJ and Tomko used a steel chair on Rick Steiner!
In the backstage area, a second stretch limo arrived! Crystal then interviewed Robert Roode about his upcoming bout against Samoa Joe.
Prior to the start of the "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe vs. Robert Roode bout, the fan supporting Roode was shown at ringside scowling at Ms. Brooks. Joe hit the ring and immediately went after Roode as the bout quickly developed into a brawl. Roode managed to gain the upper hand after a series of underhanded tactics. During the bout, Ms. Brooks and the fan got into it! Joe battled back and managed to hit the Muscle Buster on Roode to get the win!
Cameras cut to the back where Kurt Angle tried to get into the limo - but Sting appeared and fought off the Olympian!
Prior to the Fight For The Right finals, Crystal interviewed Christian Cage backstage - who told AJ Styles and Tomko to stay out of the ladder match.
It was truly an amazing ladder match, as Cage's eye even got busted open! With the contract for a title shot hanging above the ring, both superstars used two ladders to batter each other. At one point, AJ Styles and Tomko came out, but they argued at ringside while Kaz sent Cage spilling onto them on the outside. In what has to be considered a major upset, Kaz defeated "The Instant Classic" Christian Cage in his own kind of match to earn a shot at the TNA World Championship!
In the back, Eric Young beat James Storm in the drinking contest and claimed possession of Storm's beer drinking championship.
In the main event of the night, Sting's mystery partner was none other than the debuting Booker T! It was truly a monumental moment in TNA history as Booker came to the ring as the fans erupted. During the bout, Sting had Nash pinned after the deathdrop, but AJ Styles and Tomko hit the ring as Karen Angle distracted the referee. To counter Karen Angle, Sharmell came out and attacked Karen! Kevin Nash looked to have Sting beat as he went for the powerbomb, but Angle got in and nailed Nash with the world title! Angle hit the Olympic Slam on Sting to get the win and retain the championship! As the PPV went off the air, it was Kurt Angle victorious joined in the ring by Tomko, AJ Styles and Karen Angle as Christian Cage looked on at the top of the ramp!
NoDQ.com > TNA > Update: Junior Fatu may not be done with TNA Posted by Bobby Spade on 11/11/2007 at 06:09 PM
source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter
- As it turns out, it is not 100% certain that we haven't seen the last of Junior Fatu in a TNA ring. Fatu, who was working without a contract, is saying that he missed the Impact tapings two weeks ago because he had a prior commitment. There seems be some miscommunication between both parties because if they knew in advance, they could have changed the tournament around. At the Impact taping, it was Jeff Jarrett's call to simply say that he was not in the building -- he didn't want them to say anything negative about Fatu on television. Also, there have been some problems regarding travel because he has residences in both Las Vegas, NV and Pensacola, FL. At times they get his trans from Pensacola but they then have to change it.
The Major Brothers def. Deuce & Domino, Jesse & Festus, Drew McIntyre & William Regal and Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore (10-Man Battle Royal) Victoria def. Michelle McCool Finlay def. Rey Mysterio ECW Champion CM Punk vs. Jamie Noble (No Contest) WWE Tag Team Champions Matt Hardy & United States Champion MVP def. The Major Brothers Undertaker def. The Great Khali (No Holds Barred Match)
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. As the partnership between Acting SmackDownGeneral Manager Vickie Guerrero and ECWs GM Armando Estrada continues, Friday night saw ECWs brightest star shine when its champion, CM Punk, visited SmackDown. As Punk traded greetings with Guerrero, they were interrupted by Jamie Noble. The cruiserweight offered a gift to Vickie, and the Straightedge Superstar took the opportunity to have some fun at Nobles expense.
However, the ECW Champions humor was not well received by Noble, who exclaimed he could defeat Punk in the ring. SmackDowns GM agreed that a match between Punk and Noble would be a delight to our fans, and the two made their way to the ring to compete. Noble held his own against the top of the ECW chain, until John Morrison and The Miz interfered, leading to a no contest.
Morrison and Miz are both hoping to become the next ECW Champion at Survivor Series, and each was hoping to make a strong statement by attacking CM Punk. The champion would not go down without a fight, though, and he found a way to incapacitate both the self-proclaimed Shaman of Sexy and The Miz. Noble, seeing an opening, delivered a devastating gut-buster to Punk, leaving the ECW Champion in the center of the ring.
Love-hate relationships Michelle McCool and her friend Chuck Palumbo were chatting with Torrie Wilson in the locker room when Victoria and Kenny Dykstra showed up and insulted the duo, insinuating there was more than friendship between Michelle and Palumbo. McCool headed to the ring seeking a measure of revenge on Victoria for the comments, but she was unsuccessful as the dangerous Diva picked up the win. The hotly contested rivalry between Victoria and Michelle McCool has run rampant in the womens division, with each able to claim a victory over the other. Will the two Divas continue to bring their battles to the ring and will their confrontations continue to rev-up Palumbo and Dykstra?
A warning from The Animal The World Heavyweight Champion Batista came to Bakersfield Friday night with a stern message for Mark Henry. Watch the WWE.com exclusive video of the champions comments regarding the Worlds Strongest Man and his involvement in The Animals beatdown during last weeks Tag Team Match.
Battle to the tag titles The Major Brothers made the most of a 10-Man Battle Royal on SmackDown, defeating four other teams en route to earning the No. 1 contender position, plus an opportunity at the WWE Tag Team Championship held by Matt Hardy & MVP. In their first taste of golden dreams, Brett & Brian hoped to take advantage of the building tension between the Ballin Superstar and Hardy. MVP had ideas of his own, however, and the Franchise Playa made certain he and Matt held on to their shared bling. Read the full story
Celtic carnage The intense rivalry between Finlay and Rey Mysterio saw another chapter written on Friday night when the two men squared off in a one-on-one contest. The high-flying Rey has had success in the ring recently against the Irishman, but on this night the Master of the 619 was grounded by the original smashmouth style of Finlay. After the win, the physically brutal Irishman refused to stop, punishing Rey with a vicious attack. Read the full story
No holds barred or broken When the two behemoth forces, Undertaker and The Great Khali, clashed in a No Holds Barred Match, our fans witnessed to two of WWEs largest Superstars going head-to-head in one of sports-entertainments most vicious contests. The Phenom and the Punjabi giant both looked to destroy each other in the match, but just as it appeared Khali literally had the upper hand, Undertaker unveiled a devastating maneuver that brought the towering colossus down and sealed the victory.

NEWS FROM THURSDAYS iMPACT! BROADCAST ON SPIKE TV The final countdown to Sundays Genesis Pay-Per-View event By Bill Banks
There are several major news items to report from Thursdays iMPACT! broadcast on SpikeTV as TNA Wrestling prepares for Sundays Genesis Pay-Per-View event!
- Who is Stings tag team partner for the huge tag team main event this Sunday night? Its not Scott Hall, who told his former tag team partner Kevin Nash on Thursday night that he wasnt Stings choice. Nash and Kurt Angle were sure it was Hall, but Nash learned the truth after an in-ring reunion between the two controversial stars. Now, the mystery deepens as to who will team with Sting this Sunday night.
- Speaking of controversy, the Christian Cage vs. Kaz Fight For The Right tournament final was thrown out by Matt Morgan after interference by Tomko and AJ Styles, not to mention the fact that Cage used a ladder in the match. Morgran (perhaps speaking on authority from TNA management director Jim Cornette) announced that the tournament final rematch will take place this Sunday on Pay-Per-View as it will be Cage vs. Kaz in a Ladder Match!
- New matches have been added to Sundays Pay-Per-View event, with AJ Styles and Tomko defending the TNA World Tag Team Championship against The Steiner Brothers and Black Machismo Jay Lethal putting the X Division Championship on the line against The Guru Sonjay Dutt.
- Speaking of Styles/Tomko and The Steiner Brothers, AJ faced off against Scott Steiner in a takedown challenge on Thursdays broadcast. However, both Tomko and Rick Steiner got involved, leading to a brawl between both teams before Sundays title match.
- Also on the broadcast, Team 3D defeated the team of Lethal and Abyss following interference by Abyss opponent this Sunday, Black Reign. Following the bout, Team 3D assaulted Jay Lethal by beating him with belts in their attempts to further humiliate the X Division, but the Motor City Machineguns came to Lethals rescue.
- In six-man action, it was Sting, Samoa Joe and Eric Young defeating the team of TNA World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle, Cowboy James Storm and Robert Roode!
