Latest comments from Melina regarding her injury Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 07/13/2010 at 12:37 PM
Melina wrote the following on Twitter:
"This tweet is about my day at fcw. Everyone thinks I'm wrestling right now and I have to do some wrestling style therapy to see what I can actually do and if it's safe for me. The www doctor still needs to talk to my doctor in LA, then get back to the fcw therapist. I admit, certain moves scared me. I'm not sure if what I feel at times is bad, normal or all in my head. We just have to wait and see. I will keep you posted each day.
Going to fcw is great. It reminds me of how I started, how I felt and what I went through.... And how far I have come.... And still I have much more to do... I see where I want to go.
Talking to people about wrestling, letting them know I understand what they are going through and to keep on working hard because it's worth it if you love it.
I love meeting people and it was great to meet them all at fcw. I hope they know I'm here to help. I want to see the art of wrestling live on and if I can inspire or teach just a little bit so it can live on or so they realize their dream, it will fill my heart with joy.
I look forward to the rest of the week. Talking to everyone and spending time with them. I hope I can roll around a bit. Talking about wrestling makes my heart yearn to do it that much more. I NEED to wrestle."
- Maryse wrote the following on her Twitter this week: "For all those asking constantly about Playboy, no I didn't shoot recently and haven't sign any deals with them, Playboy owns their copyrights. They own all the photos I did shoot with them, so they can use it for the next 100 years if they want and in any kind of form they want! I never work for Playboy Cyber Club, they are parts of Playboy, that's why they are releasing right now other photos!"
Possible reason JR was removed from WWE intro Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 07/13/2010 at 12:09 PM

As seen at the top of last night's RAW broadcast, WWE debuted a modified montage video. Among the changes were "Classy" Freddie Blassie, Buddy Rogers, Gorgeous George and Harley Race being added, but the most striking change was the removal of the voice of Jim Ross in favor of RAW announcer Michael Cole. Ross was unaware of the change, which he noted last night on Twitter.
Ross was reportedly removed from the opening video montage as punishment for appearing on camera at UFC's 116 PPV event in Las Vegas two weeks ago. Ross was interviewed on camera by Ariel Helwani of AOL Fanhouse following Brock Lesnar's victory over Shane Carwin. While Steve Austin, Bill Goldberg and Paul Heyman were interviewed as well, Ross is the only one currently under contract to WWE and thus decision was made to make an example out of him.
Bella Twins future Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 07/13/2010 at 12:04 PM

With WWEs RAW guest host concept seemingly on its last legs, one company source said things dont look good for The Bella Twins.
Throughout the duration of the concept, the twin duos screen time would hinge on the guest host of the week (due to their role as arm piece) and creative opting to sparingly use them in a wrestling capacity on RAW. In recent weeks they have been largely relegated to WWEs secondary show Superstars as a result of the concept being de-emphasized.
Florence Henderson, who wasnt even announced in advance on RAWA, was the last guest host scheduled. However, that doesnt necessarily mean shes the final one.

Following the angle at last night's TNA Impact TV tapings where the Hard Justice PPV will feature an "ECW" theme, a ton of former ECW wrestlers are already being contacted about appearing at the PPV and Tommy Dreamer appears to be the one doing a lot of the calling. Former ECW talent Bill Alfonso was backstage at the tapings last night, but was not used on camera. He is expected to have a role at the Hard Justice PPV next month.
TNA President Dixie Carter was described as being nervous about her segment with Tommy Dreamer at the tapings last night. She reportedly sought out feedback from several people after the show. To no one's surprise, Vince Russo gave her high praise.
Tommy Dreamer comments on his injury Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 07/14/2010 at 06:38 PM
Tommy Dreamer noted on his Twitter account that he suffered an injury at the TNA Impact tapings on Monday night. Dreamer wrote the following on his Twitter account:
I did tear my MCL in knee Monday night. I must keep my no surgery streak alive. Need brace, tape, gum, and peanut butter to keep it together.
Update on the creative team situation in TNA Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 07/14/2010 at 04:42 PM

According to Dave Meltzer, the main reason for Ed Ferrara being fired from the TNA creative team was for financial reasons. Ferrara was hired with a good salary, but when TNA started their budget cutbacks, the creative team was one of the areas hit. Ferrara was doing a lot of the work to make things easier for Vince Russo such as writing of the show and putting together pre-taped segments.
Russo is currently writing everything for the shows, although Tommy Dreamer has been put in charge of the ECW invasion storyline.
The latest on Hulk Hogan's TNA status Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 07/14/2010 at 04:37 PM

As mentioned before, Hulk Hogan has been against TNA bringing in Paul Heyman. The official reason for Hogan missing the recent tapings was due to his back problems.
At this point, the planned Hogan vs. Abyss match at Bound For Glory appears to be off. There was also talk of Hogan having a match with Sting which likely won't happen either.
Hogan's deal with TNA was believed to be for one year, which means he would be finishing up around Bound For Glory.
A teenage fan jumped the guardrail and entered the ring following the Mr. Anderson vs. Matt Morgan match at last night's Impact taping in Orlando. The fan, who was described as being 13 years old, charged towards Anderson and held up his arm after the match. Morgan got up and clotheslined Anderson, which apparently scared the teenager as he ran away. The scripted angle continued as planned once the intruder left the ring.
There was heat on Universal Studios security for allowing the teenager to reach the ring. The teenager was told that he is prohibited from attending all future shows at The Impact Zone.
On another note, there was a lot of joking backstage following the incident about how Morgan should have taken the kid out.
This comes on the heels of a female fan entering the ring at Monday's RAW taping. As noted earlier, during that incident Cena and Orton were in the ring when the female fan jumped in and got to Cena. Security grabbed her and tried to get her out of the ring. She put up a hell of a fight by wrapping herself in the ring ropes. Finally, three security guards and referee Jack Doan got her out of there.
Mark Henry & Lucky Cannon def. The Miz & Alex Riley The Nexus won the 20-Man Over-the-Top Rope Battle Royal
LOUISVILLE, Ky. The Nexus returned to their roots Tuesday night, wreaking havoc on WWE NXT. Wade Barrett led the pack of former NXT Rookies to victory in a 20-Man Over-the-Top Rope Battle Royal over the season two class and their WWE Pros, leaving an indelible mark on WWE NXT.
With the NXT Poll opening again next Wednesday on WWE.com, and the second elimination just two weeks away, The Nexus invasion of WWE NXT comes at a critical time in the NXT Rookies competition.
The Nexus won the 20-Man Over-the-Top Rope Battle Royal (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Nexus has been sending shockwaves throughout Raw since banding together under the guidance of WWE NXT season one winner, Wade Barrett. Now, the former NXT Rookies have made their presence felt on season two of WWE NXT, winning a 20-Man Over-the-Top Rope Battle Royal against the current NXT Rookies and WWE Pros. The Nexus worked together as a perfect unit, using their strength in numbers to rid the ring of all of the current NXT Rookies. Then, they systematically eliminated the remaining WWE Pros John Morrison, Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston and Cody Rhodes after United States Champion The Miz cowardly took himself out of the match.
After the Battle Royal, The Nexus continued their assault on the WWE Pros, leaving a strong message for the WWE Universe. Barrett said the Nexus returned to prove they could make a difference in WWE, regardless if they were labeled NXT Rookies in season one. (WATCH)
One things for certain: Youre either Nexus or youre against us, Barrett warned.
The 'Showtime' Percy Watson Show came to WWE NXT (PHOTOS | WATCH) Its Showtime! Thanks to his win in last weeks Talk the Talk Rookie Challenge, NXT Rookie Showtime Percy Watson earned the chance to host his own talk show on WWE NXT. The always-entertaining Watson invited MVP as his special guest and thanked him for being such a great WWE Pro. Determined to make an impact two weeks before the next elimination, Showtime also invited his fellow season two NXT Rookies to the ring. The WWE Pros soon followed, prompting a confrontation. Host Matt Striker declared the standoff to be settled in the ring with an Over-the-Top Rope Battle Royal. Feeling a bit left out, the Nexus interrupted, hoping to get in on the action, and Striker declared a 20-Man Over-the-Top Rope Battle Royal to take place immediately!
Mark Henry & Lucky Cannon def. The Miz & Alex Riley (PHOTOS | WATCH) Still reeling from the aftermath of his No Contest decision on Raw against United States Champion The Miz, Mark Henry sought retribution against his fellow WWE Pro in a tag team match with their NXT Rookies. The Worlds Strongest Man had his sights set on destroying The Miz, just five days before theyll meet in the Raw Money in the Bank Ladder Match on pay-per-view Sunday. With the help of NXT Rookie Lucky Cannon, Henry earned the tag team victory, pinning Riley after a devastating Worlds Strongest Slam. Afterward, The Miz backed up the ramp as Henry took out the trash on Riley, dumping a full garbage can on the bully of a Rookie, just as The Miz did to Henry the previous night. With his tag team win, Cannons record increased to 2-3, while Rileys fell to 2-2. (WATCH: The WWE Pros discuss NXT Rookie Alex Riley)
The Nexus returned to WWE NXT (PHOTOS) Wade Barrett led The Nexus back to WWE NXT, just one night after they defeated John Cena in a 6-on-1 Handicap Match and attacked several Superstars on Raw. The former season one NXT Rookies were met with plenty of hesitation, but Barrett wished the season two class all of the best, and urged the WWE Pros not to instigate any trouble.
In two weeks the second NXT Rookie will be eliminated from the competition. Who will impress the WWE Universe and the WWE Pros the most in the hopes of becoming WWEs next breakout star?

Divas Champion Alicia Fox def. Gail Kim The Usos & Tamina def. Unified Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty & Natalya Edge def. Randy Orton United States Champion The Miz vs. Mark Henry ended in a No Contest The Santino Bunch def. The Regal Bunch The Nexus def. John Cena in a 6-on-1 Handicap Match
LEXINGTON, Ky. While everyones favorite TV mom Florence Henderson tried to keep the Raw roster on the straight and narrow, The Nexus would have none of it, continuing to prove their as angry and out-of-control as Mel Gibson on a phone rant.
The Nexus def. John Cena in a 6-on-1 Handicap Match; WWE Champion Sheamus confronted Cena (PHOTOS | WATCH) Even John Cena cant stop a rising tide not forever, anyway. After defying Raws anonymous General Manager, the seven-time WWE Champion was forced to compete against The Nexus in a 6-on-1 Handicap Match (Darren Young was out due to injuries suffered at the hands of Cena last week). Despite a valiant effort, Cena was simply overwhelmed by the numbers.
After losing the contest, Cena reevaluated and armed himself with a steel chair from ringside. He managed to lay some serious hurt on several members of The Nexus before his Money in the Bank steel cage opponent, WWE Champion Sheamus, intervened. Brandishing a chair of his own, The Celtic Warrior assisted Cena in clearing The Nexus from the ring. The Irishman was likely motivated by the fact that The Nexus went after him, too, during a series of locker room area beatdowns that targeted several Raw Superstars.
The Nexus attacked several Raw Superstars (WATCH) After lending a hand last week to their fellow Raw Superstar John Cena, Yoshi Tatsu, John Morrison and Evan Bourne all felt the sting of The Nexus. In separate incidents throughout the locker room area, each man was pummeled by the band of outlaws.
"The Santino Bunch" def. "The Regal Bunch" (PHOTOS | WATCH) With Americas favorite mom, Florence Henderson, looking on with pride and astonishment in her eyes, Santino Marella, Vladimir Kozlov, The Great Khali & Goldust tackled the challenge of William Regal, Zack Ryder, Primo & Doink the Clown in an Eight-Man Brady Bunch Tag Team Match. In the end, the Santino Bunch proved too strong for the Regal Bunch, despite the clever recruitment of Doink the Clown, a staple of the 90s, who competed alongside such unlikely ring warriors as Brooklyn Brawler, Abe Knuckleball Schwartz and Kim Chee.
After the victory, the amorous Italian moved in for a smooch with Mrs. Brady, but Henderson opted out. Instead, she locked lips with - who else? - The Punjabi Playboy.
United States Champion The Miz vs. Mark Henry ended in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Miz thinks hes got all the answers. Unfortunately for him, Raws anonymous General Manager keeps changing the questions. The mystery GM informed the United States Champion that, after he attacked R-Truth last week and put him out of the Raw Money in the Bank Match, he must face Truths replacement: Mark Henry!
The Worlds Strongest Man rattled the United States Champion, but The Miz would not be denied. He dodged Henrys attack and even dumped garbage on him in a humiliating display.
Edge def. Randy Orton (PHOTOS | WATCH) In what has quickly devolved into an acrimonious affiliation, Edge and Randy Orton faced off in a hard-hitting, tactical affair. The Money in the Bank competitors quickly lashed out at one another straight away. As the bout progressed, their fellow Money in the Bank participant, Chris Jericho, appeared at ringside. The distraction provided The Ultimate Opportunist with just the occasion he needed to force The Viper on his back for the win.
In the aftermath, cunning and chaos reigned. Retaliating for the previous weeks Spear, Jericho struck Edge with a Codebreaker only to be silenced by one of Ortons RKOs. Money in the Bank rival Evan Bourne soon joined the bedlam. After nailing The Viper with a swift kick, Bourne beelined for the top rope only to be caught by an RKO when he attempted to drop a Shooting Star Press on Orton, who stood tall amongst the carnage.
John Morrison scuffled with Ted DiBiase (PHOTOS | WATCH) With his sultry security, Maryse, at his side, Ted DiBiase spoke (down) to the WWE Universe, telling them that he will emerge victorious in the Raw Money in the Bank Match. Having heard enough, John Morrison confronted The Fortunate Son, who squeaked out a win the week before thanks to a meddling Maryse. Before long, the two Money in the Bank competitors were exchanging blows. Just as The Shaman of Sexy prepped to land Starship Pain on DiBiase, Maryse dragged him away, earning her keep.
The Usos & Tamina def. Unified Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty & Natalya (PHOTOS | WATCH) Not since the Hatfields shared a zip code with the McCoys have families been so at odds. In a possible preview of their title match at this Sundays Money in the Bank pay-per-view event, The Usos & Tamina hard-charged Unified Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty & Natalya in a Six-Person Tag Team Match and managed to shock the Canadian Club with a victory.
Divas Champion Alicia Fox def. Gail Kim; GM arranged Divas Title Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Karma can be a real drag just ask Divas Champion Alicia Fox. After Fox faked an ankle injury last week to win her match against Eve, Raws anonymous General Manager called out the leggy lovely and arranged a Divas Title Match this Sunday at Money in the Bank.
Before she could defend her title, though, Fox needed to defeat the always dangerous Gail Kim. With Eve looking on from ringside, the Divas Champion did just that, pinning Kim for the three-count.
The Nexus confronted John Cena (PHOTOS) Despite overwhelming odds, John Cena promised to take down as many members of The Nexus as humanly possible in their 6-on-1 Handicap Match at the end of the evening (originally 7-on-1 until Darren Youngs Cena-induced injury). Cena also offered thanks to the Superstars who assisted him the week prior when The Nexus sprung an ambush on him notably absent from that assist was WWE Champion Sheamus.
Cena was interrupted by announcer Michael Cole, who relayed a message from Raws anonymous General Manager. The mystery GM informed Cena that no Superstars would be allowed to interfere in the 6-on-1 Handicap Match or they will suffer a 90-day suspension, and The Nexus must tag in or they will be suspended, too. With that, The Nexus and their de facto leader Wade Barrett, left after chiding Cena before their bout.

Eric Bischoff publicly stated that he would not be at the Victory Road PPV, but some say that he stayed home as a way to "make a point to Dixie Carter" in regards to rumors that Paul Heyman is coming in. Some feel that Hogan also stayed home as a way to "distance himself from TNA if and when Heyman comes in." The reported reason for Hogan missing the PPV was that he is still recovering from recent surgery.
It is believed that Hogan and Bischoff are contracted to TNA through the end of 2010.
According to a source, talks between Paul Heyman and TNA are still ongoing and that he could be coming in soon to oversee a complete makeover of the company roster and TNA's front office. As of this writing, nothing has been signed between Heyman and TNA, but the word is that the two sides are "closer to a deal than they are letting on."
