Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The duo of Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore had been on a roll lately against WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison, but their luck ended during tonights 15 Minutes of Fame Match. The Miz & Morrison tied Yang & Moore with one decision each in 15 minutes; therefore the Champions retain their Tag Team Titles. Coming within a split second of the gold, Wang & Moore displayed their greatest effort, but it wasnt enough to unseat The Miz & Morrison.
An injured Colin Delaney bravely stepped into the ECW ring for the third time, and told Tazz hes hurt so badly he probably shouldnt have ventured out of bed. After two brutal matches against Shelton Benjamin and Big Daddy V, its no surprise the third time was not a charm against Mark Henry, either. The World's Strongest Man demolished Colin, but will the newcomer be back for more?
Elsewhere in the Land of the Extreme, former best friends Kelly Kelly and Layla mixed it up, old school style on ECW this week. The two beauties got down and dirty in a Diva Dance Off, hosted by Lena Yada, who made her ECW debut. Layla and Kelly strutted their stuff for the crowd, but just when our fans were about to cheer for a winner, Lena entered herself into the Diva Dance Off. Layla and Kelly looked on in shock as Lena declared herself the winner.
Finally, our fans got another look at Kofi Kingston. The Jamaican Superstar has promised hes bringing trouble to paradise.

-- Former TNA wrestler Ron "The Truth" Killings is in talks with WWE officials about possibly joining the company. A deal has yet to be reached, but Killings has indeed been offered a contract. More than likely, he's going to end up back in WWE in the near future.
In WWE's '15 Years of Raw' special magazine that was released on newsstands this past Tuesday, they put out a list on the top 15 reasons why WCW Monday Nitro failed. The Disco Inferno is the lone subject pictured in the feature. Here is the list:

Mr. Kennedy & Shawn Michaels def. Trevor Murdoch & Charlie Haas
Carlito def. Hardcore Holly
Ashley def. Melina, Jillian, Maria and Mickie James
Triple H def. William Regal
Chris Jericho def. Snitsky & JBL (disqualification)
Hornswoggle & Mick Foley def. the Highlanders
Jeff Hardy def. Umaga
UNCASVILLE, Conn. William Regal rolled the dice last week when he interfered in the Career Threatening Match between Ric Flair and Triple H, costing The Game a spot in the Royal Rumble and putting the brakes on his World Championship hopes. This week at the Mohegan Sun Casino, the Raw General Manager came up craps.
In one of the most unique nights on Raw, the return of Raw Roulette, Mr. McMahon spun the wheel and it stopped on a First Blood Match between Regal and Triple H. Even before their match began, The Cerebral Assassin seemed to be on a mission, taking his frustration out on the haughty Brit when he spotted him in a hallway of the Mohegan Sun Arena. Once in the ring, Triple H punished the Raw GM by drawing crimson from the blue blood for the victory. How else will The Games rage and frustration manifest itself, knowing that he is out of Royal Rumble and the World Title picture as the event approaches? (WATCH)
Never Say Never Mr. Kennedys obsession with Shawn Michaels continues. The Raw Roulette wheel paired the rivals against Trevor Murdoch & Charlie Haas in what the Chairman dubbed a Strange Bedfellows Match. HBK and Kennedy didnt exactly get along, but they managed to defeat Murdoch & Haas. However, the loudmouth from Green Bay, Wis., left his mark on The Showstopper with his patented Mic Check.
Carlito beats Carlito As if one Carlito wasnt enough. Hardcore Holly battled the Caribbean Bad Apple in a Trading Places Match, meaning the two were forced to dress up as one another. Holly dressed as Carlito managed to emerge victorious over the apple lover.
Ashleys Back! The vivacious Ashley made her triumphant return tonight, showing that anything can happen during Raw Roulette! The former Playboy cover girl emerged victorious in a Lingerie Pillow Fight Match against Melina, Jillian, Maria and Mickie James. (WATCH)
Breaking the Walls Chris Jericho got more than he bargained for when he was forced to face off against Snitsky & JBL in a Handicap Match. Just as he locked the yuck-mouthed monster in The Walls of Jericho, the Lonestar Loudmouth intervened with a brutal attack. The wrestling god seems hell-bent on venting his divine wrath on Y2J as their Royal Rumble Match approaches.
Horning In Mr. McMahon told his son, Hornswoggle, he had to pick a tag team partner to face off against The Highlanders. The little guy searched high and low and seemed unable to find a formidable partner until the Hardcore Legend, Mick Foley, appeared. The peculiar pair went on to defeat the Scots and qualify for Royal Rumble. Imagine Hornswoggle could pull off one of the greatest if not the greatest upset in WWE history if he manages to win the 30-man Rumble. For former WWE Champion Foley, this could be his last opportunity at glory. At Royal Rumble, everyone has a chance and anything can happen. (WATCH)
Roulette in a Cage WWE Champion Randy Orton may have thought that Lady Luck didnt smile on Jeff Hardy when the Raw Roulette granted him a Steel Cage Match with Umaga. After all, Jeff still had his ailing brother Matt, who was brutalized by Orton last week, on his mind. However, the Rainbow-haired Warrior showed that luck can be in the eyes of the beholder.

WWE's decision to go with Jonathan Coachman as JBL's replacement as a SmackDown! announcer came as a surprise to many. WWE kept the news very quiet up until last weekend's tapings. A lot of people in the Smackdown lockerroom expeted Tazz to be JBL's replacement. Tazz and Michael Cole had great chemistry on SmackDown before Tazz was shifted over to ECW at the end of 2006. Virtually all of SmackDown's top stars wanted Tazz to replace JBL. Jonathan Coachman got mixed feedback on his first broadcast and management understands it's a work in progress.
Jimmy Wang Yang, Shannon Moore & Kelly Kelly def. The Miz, John Morrison & Layla Big Daddy V def. Colin Delaney Shelton Benjamin def. James Curtis ECW Champion CM Punk def. Chavo Guerrero (count-out)
RICHMOND, Va. As 2008 commenced, there was not a person in the Land of the Extreme who didnt plan on making sure this would be his year. For Chavo Guerrero and others who made such a bold resolution, however, 2008 didnt exactly start off according to plan.
Kelly Kelly had spent much of the final months in 2007 fighting off The Mizs attempts to make her life a living hell. She had done a good job until recently, earning unexpected victories against her opponents, but the self-proclaimed chick magnet found a way to get to the blonde with Layla & Victoria.
Tuesday night, The Miz took Layla and added co-WWE Tag Team Champion John Morrison to his team of three to take on Kelly, Shannon Moore & Jimmy Wang Yang. Thanks to the help from her supporting cast, Kelly was able to start off 2008 the right way when Yang pinned The Miz. This win makes it two straight for the duo of Moore & Yang, who defeated the WWE Tag Team Champions two weeks ago. If things continue in this direction, gold may not be The Miz & John Morrisons color this year.
Later in the evening, Colin Delaney took part in his second match ever, in as many Tuesday nights. And if he didnt think his first match against Shelton Benjamin could have been worse, he was wrong. Big Daddy V made a meal out of Delaney, just moments after the athlete admitted how nervous he was in an interview with Tazz.
Speaking of Delaneys opponent from last week, Shelton Benjamin continued to prove to our fans that he is ECWs Gold Standard when he defeated James Curtis. Benjamin remains undefeated since joining the ECW roster. With three Intercontinental Championships and two WWE Tag Team Titles on his résumé, Shelton is ready to add the ECW Championship to his collection of gold.
Chavo Guerrero got his opportunity to finish the job he started two weeks ago on ECW Champion CM Punk. But even with the new year, time wasnt on Chavos side, as he was counted out in a contest that, if won, would have delivered a chance at the title. More on this story
