Todd Frizzell sent this in:
Recently Low Blow Radio was joined by former ECW original Balls Mahoney! Here are some highlights from the near 60 minute sit down interview...
When asked about TNA Hardcore Justice Balls said the following... "Tommy called me and asked if I knew about the rumors of the ECW reunion show. I said no because I don't read the internet much. I don't even have internet. Tommy asked me to appear at the show and I would be teaming with Axl. I have some issues with Axl so I was a bit apprehensive but I wouldn't pass up this opportunity for anything so I said of course I'll do it. I asked if it would be like One Night Stand 2006 where I get a 20 minute match with Tanaka and they come to be before the match and cut it down to 8 minutes along with all the great spots and waste Tanaka's talent, time, money, and sanity??? Tommy said no you are going to be yourself. This is going to be you looking up north and giving them the finger. So obviously I said yea. So I show up at the building excited and pumped! If you say the PPV you say Axl and I with our new gear. For once we looked like a real tag team. No ripped jeans or anything. So we went and did it. We went put there as a 3 man unit, referring to Bubba, Devon, and I, and did what we had to do and I think the fans went home happy. We should have came back for TV the next night but thanks to a certain somebody I was f***ed over once again. But overall I had a great time and was treated very, very well." When asked about possibly competing for TNA in the future as apart of EV2.0 Balls had the following to say (Also comments on being held back and screwed over by Axl Rotten)...
"I hope what Bubba, Devon, and I pulled off at the PPV was enough to save my ass for any work in the future. As I said I was f***ed over by a certain somebody but that's all I'm going to say about that at the current moment. I mean I'm also kind of nervous too. I have a wife, and a kid, and have to put food on the table and all this and that. I can't just keep working these indies. I think another thing is that the office doesn't understand my versatility. My amateur and actual wrestling ability. Just check out some classics I've had with Rob Van Dam in ECW. Speaks for itself. But nevertheless I hope to be a full time member of EV2.0 in TNA within the next month or so. This is really my only last opportunity to make some money and perform for a national audience again. I've just been f***ed over so many times dealing with Axl. I can honestly say now I will NEVER team with Axl Rotten again. If WWE or TNA called me up and said we want you to come in and team with Axl of course I'd have to say yes but otherwise it isn't ever going to happen again. I can't be his baby sitter anymore. I have a kid now. I have a family. I'm not going to deal with what I dealt with regarding Axl at Hardcore Justice at 12:00, 1:30, 4:00, and then again right before the match just to make sure the match would still be on. Axl has f***ed me over for the last time."
When asked if he thinks it would be successful for TNA to bring back a version of ECW Balls said the following... "Yes. If it was done right. If done intelligently it would be a money making thing for TNA and the wrestlers alike. They could do what WWE failed to do." Other topics included...

Credit: PWInsider.com
According to Mike Johnson, it's possible that Team 3D (Brother Ray and Brother Devon) made their last appearance on TNA television as a tag-team for the time being this past week on Reaction. Their contracts are scheduled to expire this week and they haven't been written into this week's television tapings.
Brother Ray is at the TNA Impact taping today working as an agent. It's unknown if Devon is at the taping.
The team is still negotiating with TNA but no deal has been reached at this point.
Update on Lashley's condition after MMA loss Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/22/2010 at 04:41 AM
Following his loss at Saturday night's Strikeforce event, Bobby Lashley was taken to a local hospital.
According to PWTorch.com, he was extremely dehydrated after the fight but ended up being released from the hospital. At first, there was fear his condition was worse and he would need to stay in the hospital overnight.
FRESNO, Calif. With just one week to go until the NXT season two finale, the last three NXT Rookies had their knowledge of WWE history put to the test for an exclusive WWE.com takeover at the most critical moment as the WWE Universe prepares to help determine WWEs next breakout star.
Dashing Cody Rhodes def. MVP (PHOTOS | WATCH) With both of their Rookies eliminated the previous week on WWE NXT, MVP and Dashing Cody Rhodes were done talking and ready to get down to business inside of the ring. While Rhodes initially denied Kavals challenge, he accepted The Ballin Superstars request and the second-generation competitor was out to silence his critics and prove that he is on a higher level than both the NXT Rookies and his fellow Pros. The execution of a jarring Cross Rhodes gave The Dashing Superstar a convincing victory over MVP and suggested that perhaps Rhodes can actually back up his endless talk.
Kaval won the WWE Trivia Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH) In order to be a successful WWE Superstar, one must appreciate and acknowledge the history of what has come before them. There is no history richer than that of WWE, and the NXT Rookies knowledge of Superstars and events of days past was put to the test.
While the son of Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig, Michael McGillicutty, seemed to be the early favorite, Kaval quickly demonstrated his familiarity with Superstars and WWE moments, past and present. The two Rookies remained neck and neck while varsity letterman Alex Riley would essentially flunk, answering only one question correctly. At the end of the competition, Kaval scored the most points to secure a victory. With his win, the NXT Rookie earned a special feature on WWE.com beginning at midnight ET, following the conclusion of WWE NXT.
Kaval challenged Dashing Cody Rhodes (PHOTOS | WATCH) After last weeks shocking double elimination, the three remaining NXT Rookies Kaval, Alex Riley and Michael McGillicutty have very few chances left to prove why they are WWEs next breakout star. NXT host Matt Striker asked each of the Rookies how it felt to be a finalist in the competition. When Kaval took the microphone, he first thanked the WWE Universe and then immediately set his sights on Dashing Cody Rhodes, who assaulted the NXT Rookie following Husky Harris elimination last week.
Kaval challenged Rhodes to a match, but the SmackDown Superstar told the Rookie that they were not on the same level and denied the request. This prompted WWE Pro MVP to confront Rhodes and issue his own challenge for later in the evening, which the Dashing Superstar accepted.
Tune in live to WWE NXT for the season two finale and be sure to cast your vote beginning at 12 noon ET for the NXT Rookie you believe is WWE's next breakout star.
Bobby Lashley loses for the first time in MMA Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/21/2010 at 10:58 PM
Former TNA star Bobby Lashley tasted his first MMA defeat at tonight's Strikeforce event. Chad Griggs defeated Lashley via TKO (referee stoppage) at 5:00 of round 2. The fight was stopped after the end of the round.
The win for Griggs is considered to be a huge upset.
Traci Brooks comments on Playboy shoot and more Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/20/2010 at 04:28 PM
Traci Brooks has been in our crazy business for the better part of a decade. But, she burst onto the scene in TNA over 7 years ago and was one of the longest running TNA Knockouts ever. In the Fall of 2009, she appeared in on Playboys website with a pictoral that 6,000,000 had the chance to see.
She left TNA since that time and hasnt opened up much as to why. That is, until The Interactive Interview asked her to come back on the show!
To listen to the entire interview and our brand new interview with Bill Eadie AKA Demolition Ax, visit http://www.WrestlingEpicenter.com. If you like what we do, check out our store and help keep us going and free by supporting us!
TRACI BROOKS
- Our interview with Traci Brooks begins with a discussion about being a Canadian working in the States and all the paperwork & complications involved. Traci does clarify that her having to work on this had nothing to do with her leaving TNA. She says that everything is fine, straight, & up to date.
- Traci loved doing Playboy, says it was a great experience, & was treated very well. In regards to not getting into the magazine, she puts to rest a couple of rumors. She says that she was not supposed to get the cover, so she wasnt actually bumped off by Marge Simpson. Her being taken out of the magazine was to make room for a tribute to Farah Fawcett, who had just past away in the months leading up to the magazines release.
- She also says that being posted on the net was really good for her since magazine subscriptions are down and internet subscriptions are way up. She was also happy that more of her pictures got to be seen.
- There was a rumor that a new editor took over for Playboy and didnt want wrestling women involved with Playboy, and Traci hopes that its not true since it is good publicity for the wrestling company & a great experience for the girls that get to do it.
- She didnt get to meet Huge Heffner, but was treated extremely well from start to finish. She also says that the last day of the shoot was her birthday and they gave her a nice party.
- Traci was disappointed that she wasnt used more by TNA during the time of her shoot. Playboy advertised for TNA, and said she was going to appear at Bound for Glory, and she wasnt featured. She has no hard feelings towards TNA & says they were her family, but wishes things had been handled better.
- Right now, shes having a lot of fun doing the Independents & Conventions. She points out that when she started in 2001, it was mostly just her and a handful of others, but now the women in wrestling are far more common.
- Shes never worked with Mickie James and would love to make that match happen. As for going up to WWE with her friends Gail Kim & Beth Phoenix, she says that its not something she is interested in. She also says shes sure there would be no hard feelings over the Cookie Gate scene from 2004 as it wasnt really that big of a deal.
- When talking about the current state of the Knockouts Division, she is a little surprised over the girls theyve released. She feels like its a mostly blondes now and they need more variety & diversity in talents & characters. She also doesnt thing the division is deep enough at the moment to support a set of Tag Titles.
Seven wrestlers removed from TNA's roster Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/20/2010 at 03:27 AM
In addition to Homicide, it would appear that both Tomko and Rosie Lottalove have parted ways with TNA Wrestling as their respective profiles were removed from the company websites roster page Thursday. All three were sparingly used in recent months.
In Homicides case, he noted on his social networking accounts earlier in the day that he had parted ways with the organization. Meanwhile, Lottaloves photo gallery was removed from the Knockouts media section.
Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, Daniels and ODB were also removed from the page, though their respective TNA departures were noted months ago.
Homicide finished with TNA Wrestling Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/19/2010 at 02:24 PM
Homicide announced on his Facebook page today he's left TNA Wrestling.
PWInsider.com is reporting that Homicide was released from the company. He hadn't been seen much on television much since the January 4th Monday Impact when he got stuck on top of the cage.
Homicide wrote on Twitter:
"my TNA days is over, thank u for the staff members and the boys and girls in the locker room, had a great run, bbllaattt187 for life!"
Former WWE Diva Katie Lea Burchill worked a dark match prior to tonight's iMPACT! taping from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.

Her ninety no-compete clause had recently expired.
Edge def. R-Truth Chris Jericho def. The Great Khali Divas Champion Melina def. Jillian United States Champion The Miz def. John Cena by Disqualification Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov def. The Usos Randy Orton def. Ted DiBiase and John Morrison in a Triple Threat Match WWE Champion Sheamus def. Zack Ryder
LOS ANGELES - During Monday Night Raw, the City of Angels played host to a pair of WWE's heavenly bodies, a contingent of deadly sinners and a half dozen Superstars ready to clash in a battle of biblical proportions at the Night of Champions pay-per-view.
WWE Champion Sheamus def. Zack Ryder; Raws General Manager announced Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions (PHOTOS | WATCH: PART 1 | PART 2) The Celtic Worrier? Perhaps WWE Champion Sheamus was too concerned about facing one of WWEs elite Superstars or maybe hes got a soft spot for Long Island. Whatever the reason, the Irishman chose to defend his title against Zack Ryder, not on pay-per-view, but on Raw.
A grateful Ryder thanked Sheamus for the opportunity before having his face kicked in and getting pinned inside of a mere 11 seconds. Woo, Woo, Woo. You know it!
After the match, there were several understandably irate Superstars, including Wade Barrett. The leader of The Nexus informed The Celtic Warrior that at Night of Champions, he would invoke the title opportunity he earned after winning season one of WWE NXT. Before the rivalry between England and Ireland could escalate, the Raw General Manager had a few points to make.
Sheamus would indeed defend his title against Barrett, the GM assured. However, he would also defend against four other Superstars in a Six Pack Challenge. Rounding out the field, the GM chose Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Edge and John Cena. As each man stood wearily in the ring, the mistrust proved overwhelming and the six set out attacking one another, leaving only The Viper to stand tall after an emphatic RKO to Cena. The tension between the sextet assures that Night of Champions is also sure to be a night to remember.
Randy Orton def. Ted DiBiase and John Morrison in a Triple Threat Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) That throne must really be comfy. After all, WWE Champion Sheamus, who has a penchant for involving himself where he doesnt belong, actually stayed out of the Triple Threat Match between Randy Orton, John Morrison and Ted DiBiase.
The triumvirate of Superstars competed for the potential opportunity to be chosen by the Irishman to battle him in a title match at Night of Champions. During the bout, Sheamus actually exited to deliberate before announcing who he would face in four weeks. When the carnage was complete, it was The Viper who had snaked past his competition to secure the win.
Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov def. The Usos (PHOTOS |WATCH) One of the most unlikely pairings in WWE has turned out to be one of the most successful. Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov have scored another victory on the world stage, defeating The Usos, Jimmy and Jey.
After the international triumph, Tamina halted a retaliatory strike aimed squarely at her crush, Santino. As she walked off with the Usos, the daughter of Superfly Jimmy Snuka blew a passionate kiss to The Italian Stallion. Hmmm
United States Champion The Miz def. John Cena by Disqualification (PHOTOS |WATCH) When asked about The Mizs attack on Daniel Bryan last week, John Cena called it petty and classless. Needless to say, the United States Champion was not amused. When the two faced off, animosity permeated the arena. While Mr. Money in the Bank more than held his own against one of WWEs premier Superstars, once Cena found his footing, Miz found an escape hatch and fled the ring.
Unfortunately for Miz, Daniel Bryan appeared on the scene and was more than happy to escort him back to the ring. After tossing the U.S. Champion back inside, where Cena administered an Attitude Adjustment, Daniel Bryan locked a submission hold onto his nemesis. So intense was the hold that it required five referees to finally break it.
Raws GM lifted ban on The Nexus competing for titles (WATCH) As WWE Champion Sheamus rested regally atop his throne, Raws anonymous General Manager shook him from his respite. The Nexus had filed out to join the Irishman on stage when the GM informed the group of outlaws that he was lifting the ban on them competing for titles. As a result, Nexus leader Wade Barrett eagerly informed Sheamus that the truce between he and the group was effectively over.
Divas Champion Melina def. Jillian (PHOTOS | WATCH) Thankfully, Jillian had no reason to break out in song. After pulling out a win for her team last week, the tone-deaf Diva went head-to-head against Divas Champion Melina. Sadly for her, though, the Latina lovely appeared more focused and notched another victory.
After the match, Womens Co-Champions, Layla & Michelle McCool popped up on the TitanTron to mock Melina and inform her that the two will visit next week for Raws 900th episode celebration to make her an offer that is simply flawless.
Chris Jericho def. The Great Khali (PHOTOS | WATCH) In the quest to battle Sheamus at Night of Champions, Chris Jericho faced down the towering presence of The Great Khali. By targeting his attack on Khalis knee, which had been battered by The Nexus two weeks prior, the self-important Superstar managed to topple The Punjabi Playboy with the Walls of Jericho. As he addressed the WWE Champion, though, informing him of his status as the first-ever Undisputed Champion, Khali knocked Jericho from his turnbuckle perch to the arena floor.
Edge def. R-Truth (PHOTOS | WATCH) In the first match of the evening to help determine which Superstar will face Sheamus at Night of Champions, The Rated-R Superstar laid out a convincing case. Edge faced off against the dynamism of R-Truth. The two had traded heated words with one another in the run-up to SummerSlam, but in this exchange, it was Edge who would prevail.
Afterward, The Ultimate Opportunist reminded the WWE Champion that he is a nine-time champion, and bragged that until Sheamus defeats him, he hasnt defeated anyone.
Raw General Manager allowed WWE Champion Sheamus to choose his opponent at Night of Champions (PHOTOS) After a self-serving tirade about the VOS, or Victims of Sheamus, as he referred to some of his past opponents, The Celtic Warrior boasted that he would emerge victorious at one of WWEs most prestigious pay-per-views, Night of Champions.
After listening to the Irishmans rant, Raws anonymous General Manager piped up. He informed The Celtic Warrior that he could relax in a special throne for the evening to watch a series of matches unfold. After observing the winners, the choice of No. 1 contender for the WWE Title would be up to Sheamus himself.
Kofi Kingston def. Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler (Disqualification; Non-Title Match) Luke Gallows & Serena def. Big Show & Kelly Kelly Christian def. Drew McIntyre Alberto Del Rio def. Rey Mysterio
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. In his WWE debut, Alberto Del Rio caught the attention of the entire WWE Universe by making Rey Mysterio tap out! And, World Heavyweight Champion Kane explained the attack on his own brother, The Undertaker.
Alberto Del Rio def. Rey Mysterio (PHOTOS | WATCH) Alberto Del Rio arrived in grand style by driving into the Rabobank Arena in a Rolls Royce. And as he approached the ring, he was introduced by his very own personal ring announcer. Leading up to the big night, Del Rio touted himself in a series of videos (WATCH).
When all the hype and talking were over, and Del Rio finally stepped in the ring, he backed up his words with a huge win over veteran Rey Mysterio by making him tap out with a cross armbreaker. Adding insult to injury, Del Rio locked Rey in the same hold after the match was over to deliver more punishment.
Whats next from this potent 6-foot-5 Superstar? (More on Del Rio)
The Undertakers return announced! (WATCH) SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long informed Kane that The Undertaker will return to SmackDown next week. Undaunted by the news, The Big Red Monster claimed the night will be "hell on earth."
Christian def. Drew McIntyre (PHOTOS | WATCH) With Dashing Cody Rhodes watching the action as part of the announce team, Christian got the pinfall over Drew McIntyre. Afterward, Rhodes and McIntyre launched an ugly assault on the veteran. After repeatedly stomping on him in the ring, Matt Hardy came to the rescue. Although Hardy held his own dishing out some punishment of his own he too ended up on the receiving end of a beating from the aggressive duo. When the dust settled, the two young Superstars stood tall over the fallen veterans.
World Heavyweight Champion Kane explained attacking The Undertaker (WATCH) Kane offered a look inside the mind of a monster when he described why he attacked his own brother, saying The Phenoms pride was his ultimate undoing.
Luke Gallows & Serena def. Big Show & Kelly Kelly (PHOTOS | WATCH) In her in ring debut, Serena earned her first victory by dropping Kelly Kelly with a gutbuster.
Kofi Kingston def. Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler by Disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH) After The Nexus crashed their Intercontinental Championship Match at SummerSlam (PHOTOS), reigning champion Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston picked up where they left off in their battle for the prestigious title. On this night, it was Official SmackDown Consultant Vickie Guerrero who interrupted things when she pushed Kingston from the top rope. Although her actions caused an immediate disqualification for her boyfriend, the title cannot change hands on a disqualification. After the bell, Ziggler went to work by dropping Kingston with the Zig Zag, then locking him a sleeper and finally stomping on his defenseless body.
Alberto Del Rio felt Rey Mysterio's wrath (PHOTOS | WATCH) At the start of the night, Alberto Del Rio interrupted Rey Mysterios address to the WWE Universe to tout himself. After taunting The Master of the 619, Del Rio accepted Mysterios challenge to go one-on-one. After he got in a few more insults, Del Rio felt Mysterios wrath with a slap to the face and 619.
We kick Impact off with Hardy fighting Abyss before the show even started. Hardy had been waiting for Abyss to arrive and was biting at the bit to get a hold of him. Backstage they throw each other around and beat on each other before taking it to the ring where there is a couple of fans and the commentators have just arrived as well. They hit each other with the mop before Hardy clobbers Abyss with a chair, then Abyss chokes him with a extension cord. As they head outside, security stop Hardy (Gunner and Murphy). Eric Bischoff inside the ring now. He apologizes for what happened last week to RVD and saids he has 117 stitches, punctured organs, and is a mess.

Wade Barrett def. Chris Jericho Michael Tarver def. Daniel Bryan Justin Gabriel def. Randy Orton by Count-out David Otunga & Skip Sheffield def. John Morrison & R-Truth Jillian, Alicia Fox & Maryse def. Divas Champion Melina, Eve & Gail Kim Heath Slater def. Edge by Count-out John Cena def. Darren Young
LOS ANGELES When Team WWE dismantled The Nexus at SummerSlam the night before, it appeared that the sun had finally set on the seven deadly sinners. On Monday night, however, the groups members, with the exception of one, each survived in singles competition, offering The Nexus hope that a new day may have finally dawned.
John Cena def. Darren Young (PHOTOS | WATCH) A perfect record hung heavy on the shoulders of Darren Young. Each of his teammates from The Nexus had been victorious in their matches against Team WWE members. Now it was his turn. His obstacle, however, would prove particularly momentous. Young must face Team WWEs de facto leader and the man who severely beat him down last month, John Cena.
Also weighing heavy on Young was the fact that were he to lose, he would be banished from The Nexus. With that in mind, the bout underwent a series of momentum shifts until, finally, Cena asserted his imposing will. The force of such a powerhouse was too much for Young to bear as he faded in defeat.
In the aftermath, The Nexus approached the ring. Although Cena prepared himself for the worst, his tormentors allowed him to leave unharmed. Instead, they circled their true target: Young. After punishing their only failed member, the remaining six members of The Nexus stood tall.
Heath Slater def. Edge by Count-out (PHOTOS | WATCH) The similarities are undeniable. Both Heath Slater and Edge boast long, flowing locks and a penchant for rockstar style, but thats where the comparison ends. Prior to their match, Slater attempted to convince The Rated-R Superstar to throw the match. For Edge, the request was tantamount to asking him to listen to the Jonas Brothers.
Once in the ring, the two engaged in an athletic clash of wills. At one point, the action even spilled out of the ring. As the referee continued his count, it was Slater who finally managed to dart back into the squared circle to avoid the count-out while his opponent seethed on the outside in defeat before nailing Slater with a Spear.
Jillian, Alicia Fox & Maryse def. Divas Champion Melina, Eve & Gail Kim (PHOTOS | WATCH) Melina was clearly distracted. The newly-minted Divas Champion had teamed with Eve & Gail Kim against Alicia Fox, Jillian & Maryse, but she appeared leery of a surprise visit from co-Womens Champions Michelle McCool & Layla. After all, the pair had ganged up on her at SummerSlam just moments after she captured the Divas Title.
The threat from Team Lay-Cool never materialized, but Melina and Gail were indeed distracted. When the Divas left the ring to battle Alicia and Maryse, Jillian took advantage and rolled up an unsuspecting Eve for the win.
David Otunga & Skip Sheffield def. John Morrison & R-Truth (PHOTOS | WATCH) The locomotive of The Nexus continued to steam toward perfection. This time, the conductors were David Otunga & Skip Sheffield, who were tasked with derailing Team WWEs John Morrison & R-Truth in tag team action. As the rest of The Nexus squad watched intently on a monitor in the locker room area, Otunga and Sheffield capitalized on their size and strength advantage to pull apart their opponents and retain their positions within The Nexus.
Justin Gabriel def. Randy Orton by Count-out (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Nexus South African cyclone, Justin Gabriel, was scheduled to compete against Bret Hart, but Raws mystery GM had other ideas. Citing his animosity toward Hit Man, the GM instead arranged for a new opponent, Randy Orton.
The Viper appeared to have Gabriel securely wrapped in his grip when WWE Champion Sheamus paid an unannounced visit. The Celtic Warrior, who had lost by disqualification to Orton the night before, clashed outside the ring with his SummerSlam rival, handing Gabriel the win by count-out. As one might imagine, the loss did not sit well with Orton, who slithered back into the ring to RKO Gabriel. Outside the squared circle, Orton proved just as unrelenting in his counterattack on the Irishman, who also received an RKO as well as several lashes from a metal folding chair.
Michael Tarver def. Daniel Bryan (PHOTOS | WATCH) In his first appearance on Raw since suffering a vicious beating at the hands of The Nexus, Daniel Bryan appeared determined to level his opponent, Nexus masked man Michael Tarver. Although his efforts seemed to be paying dividends, Daniel Bryan had to contend with unfinished business from the previous night.
At SummerSlam, Daniel Bryan was selected as the seventh man on Team WWE, a position The Miz felt belonged to him. As a result, the United States Champion interfered in Daniel Bryans bout, causing a distraction, which allowed Tarver to slide in for the win. As if he hadnt done enough, Miz, with his NXT Rookie Alex Riley along to take notes, then drove his rival's head into the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Wade Barrett def. Chris Jericho (PHOTOS | WATCH) In arguably his most impressive victory to date, Wade Barrett defeated his former WWE Pro Chris Jericho in convincing fashion. As leader of The Nexus, Barrett needed to secure the win to save face and motivate his troops, who had suffered a disheartening loss the night before at SummerSlam.
John Cena confronted The Nexus; Raws General Manager arranged The Nexus vs. Team WWE in singles matches (PHOTOS | WATCH) There was simply no hiding from the truth. Team WWE had defeated The Nexus in their match at SummerSlam, and yet Wade Barrett was attempting to spin the crushing defeat into a rallying cry for his six disciples.
What he was serving up, though, was some weak tea and John Cena knew it. The Team WWE founder confronted Barrett about his squads performance, which rankled the band of outlaws. Their pride wounded, members of The Nexus began to turn on each other, assigning blame for the defeat. The backbiting escalated until Raws anonymous General Manager interrupted the meltdown to announce that each member of The Nexus would face a member of Team WWE in singles competition, beginning with Barrett facing down his WWE Pro, Chris Jericho.
For the members of The Nexus, the singles matches have given them an opportunity to weed out any weaknesses. As they all agreed, any member who does not win their match is no longer in The Nexus.
Matt Hardy taking time off from WWE? Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 08/16/2010 at 11:11 PM
Matt Hardy noted on his Twitter account on Saturday that he will likely be taking some time away from the squared circle as a result of WWEs stringent health and wellness policies.
Thx 4 everyone who has been concerned about my foot being jammed between the steel steps, Hardy wrote. It was bad-it felt like my foot was bein cut off. Didnt plan to take my boot off, but I had to immediately see how bad my foot was injured. Keep in mind, it bled thru my sock & ankle tape.
I will most likely have to miss some ring time due to WWEs stringent health & wellness policies. Im sorry if I do guys & gals.
