Homicide talks about why he left TNA Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 10/02/2010 at 06:01 PM
World Wrestling Insanity interview with Homicide (Interview available at WorldWrestlingInsanity.com via ClubWWI.)
The main question on everyone's mind is obviously Homicide's departure from TNA so soon after Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff came into power. His release felt sudden and it left many wondering about the reasons behind it. Homicide explains to ClubWWI.com members that there are no hard feelings, he just simply needed to do what was right for himself
"Hogan and Bischoff have got a different vision. They don't come to TNA to destroy TNA. They came in to have a different vision. And if I'm not part of their vision, I'm out. I'm not gonna stay and - I'm not gonna say job out but - basically losing money and losing my fanbase and things I can do good. I'm very confident I can be a major star. I'm not gonna be the next Triple H, John Cena, but I always say I will be the next Terry Funk. Meaning that when I die, people are going to remember my name."
Speaking of names, the character "Suicide" seems to be a topic that Cide is asked about a lot. Getting its start in TNA Impact - The Video Game, Suicide always seemed to be too close to Homicide's name for some fans to understand. Guttman cites Cide's post X-Division Title win promo on Impact when, after hearing Suicide's name mentioned, he rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah. Suicide. Great name." Does that hold true for Homicide both in and out of the ring? As his ClubWWI.com interview continues, he answers
"I think the name was stupid. Homicide. Suicide. Look at that. They match. Then people joking around saying, 'Oh team them up and call them Genocide' It's stupid. I don't know who came up with that name. I don't know if it was Midway. I don't know if it was TNA. I don't know. As a wrestler, character, I liked it. It's original. It's different. I wish the character Suicide got a bigger push. I don't know what happened. If it's on delay, but to me - the name is dumb. It's the same. It's the same."
James points out how the name "Homicide" might sound threatening because it means to kill someone else. But Sucicide? Well, that means killing yourself and there's nothing really intimidating about that.
With all the talk of names, Guttman brings up a favorite topic on ClubWWI - new WWE star name changes. It seems that all the newcomers get repackaged with a new first and last name. He asks Homicide what the chances will be that we might see him pop up on the FCW website with something like "John Stevens" under his picture. Cide laughs and the surprises everyone with an answer that shows he's thinking ahead far more than most others do
"My goal is to wrestle (Madison Square Garden). If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. But the only ones who wrestle MSG are the ones who go to WWE. As for the name 'Homicide', I would love to bring that name over there but I'd rather keep it where it is, in the Indys and in the Tri-State area. I would have no problem with going to WWE and having them give me a ridiculous name like 'Brute Force' or something like that. It doesn't matter.
"If they tell me they want to keep 'Homicide', that would be cool. That would be cool. But I'd rather have Homicide stay in the Indys and stay at the Tri-State area because look at the Dudleys, man. They went to WWE, Vince McMahon bought their name, and now they're Team 3D. Now I love the name Team 3D because they got the best finisher in the world and no one ever kicked out of it. So me going to WWE with the name change might be a little bit of an issue, but, hey man, I can't argue. I'd rather leave the name in the Tri-State area and the Indys."
Remember, Homicide spoke for 43 minutes and is just one of over 250 of wrestling's biggest names ranging from Jesse Ventura to Jerry Lawler to Terry Funk, that can be heard the minute you log in.
Tonights episode opens with a recap of last weeks festivities involving Abyss and the returning Rob Van Dam, along with the announcement that they will face one another at Bound For Glory on 10/10/10.
Backstage, Kurt Angle is on the phone with Hulk Hogan and thanking him for his support while also promising that he will win the title at Bound For Glory. Angle continues by promising that hell take care of Abyss tonight in a cage match, but he has to go because a backstage hand tells him that the shows starting. Uh its actually already started, Kurt. Good thing we had a camera backstage so we knew why Impact wasnt starting on time.
Okay, now that Kurts ready, he comes out to the ring for our show opening promo segment. Angle says he knows that Hulk Hogan is somewhere in some hospital bed recovering from another back injury, and wishes him well and says the Impact Zone misses him. The crowd cheers and starts chanting Hogans name. That is so depressing. Angle thanks Hogan for the confidence he has in him, but the only things standing between him and the TNA World Title are Jeff Hardy and Ken Anderson, and theyre both great competitors, but Angle promises Hogan that he will not let him down. As for the favor Hogan asked of him tonight, Angle promises not to let him down on that, either. Abyss has caused way too much damage as of late by taking out Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy, and he keeps warning everybody about 10/10/10, but Angles warning Abyss about 9/30/10, because tonight hes going to cut the cancer that is Abyss out of TNA. Compliments of Hulk Hogan, tonights main event will be Kurt Angle against Abyss in a cage match. Abyss music hits and Abyss comes stalking out of the crowd towards the ring, so Angle does the smart thing and dashes out of the ring and after the guy whos gone around crippling every main eventer in the company. The brawl goes backstage, and its a good thing they had the Kurt Is Late Cam backstage, because now its following the two of them around the backstage area. Abyss rams Kurt into the wall before bashing him in the face with a ladder, then takes a chair and goes after Kurt with it, but Kurt kicks Abyss in the gut and gets ahold of the chair, slamming it across Abyss back and then stomping Abyss into oblivion. Angle chokes Abyss out while telling Abyss that if he wants to cripple him like he did to Rob Van Dam and Abyss, hes up against a completely different animal. Of course, this animal also has a groin, which Abyss punches him in before repeatedly unloading on Angle with rights. Angle comes back with a shot in the groin of his own, but the D-Lo Brown Militia (aka security) comes running in to separate them before it gets too out of hand.
Backstage, the D-Lo Brown Militia is trying to calm Angle down when Abyss comes out of nowhere to try and attack Angle again. The Militia get between them immediately and pull them apart as Angle yells at Abyss that he has his number.
Time for our first match
Lumberjack Match: Beer Money vs Tommy Dreamer & Rhino
EV2.0 rushes the ring and they start brawling right away. Storm bails out to the floor as Tommy hits a crossbody on Roode and punches his face in. Tag out to Rhino and they whip Roode in for a double back elbow for 2. Rhino whips Roode into the corner and gets a backdrop coming out. Rhino sets for the Gore and Roode bails to the floor to escape, but then realizes hes right next to Sabu and rolls back in. Storm catches Rhino in the back of the head with a leaping enziguiri and tags in and starts choking Rhino. Snapmare and a pair of kneedrops gets 2 for Storm, then Roode tags in and whips Rhino into the fopes and follows him in with a knee to the gut, does it again, and finishes the combo with a back suplex for 2. Tag back out to Storm and they get a double vertical suplex and do the BEER MONEY! thing. Incidentally, I dont find that as dumb as I guess a lot of people do. Theyre not supposed to be doing it to pop the crowd, theyre supposed to be doing it to piss them off. Anyway, Rhino rolls out to the floor and gets beaten up by Fortune and then rolled back in the ring where Roode covers him for 2. Roode with a bearhug from the side, but Rhino escapes and they go blow-for-blow until Rhino grabs Roode and delivers a belly to belly suplex and makes the hot tag. Dreamer comes in and goes to work on Storm and then baseball slides Roode off the apron. Storm goes for the superkick, but Dreamer blocks and traps Storm in a Crippler Crossface. Roode breaks it up, but Rhino goes after him and both men tumble over the top and wind up in the middle of a big Fortune-EV2.0 brawl on the floor. AJ Styles gets up on the apron and spits something in Dreamers eyes, and Brian Kendrick jumps up on the apron and tackles Styles to the floor as Roode rolls up Dreamer for 2. Dreamer suddenly gets the Death Valley Driver out of nowhere and covers Roode for the win.
Winners: Tommy Dreamer & Rhino
Sabu comes in after the match and sets up a chair, then hits a triple jump dive to the floor to wipe out Fortune. Mick Foley gets a microphone and says thats enough, he doesnt want to see any more fighting or bodies outside the ring, he wants to see two people inside the ring. He tells Ric Flair that theyve been going around and around for a long time, and its about time they resolve their differences, so hes inviting Flair into the ring to clear the air. EV2.0 try to get in Flairs face, but Foley tells them to let him through because they need to have a conversation. Looks like well find out their thoughts on the upcoming midterm elections after this commercial!
Okay, were back and Ric Flair asks Foley if he wanted to talk to Ric Flair: The Wrestling God? Flair asks if theyre on the air, and Foley says they are and he wants to talk to Ric Flair: The Man face to face right now. Flair asks Foley What do you want to talk about, you asshole? Foley says the world is focused on 10/10/10, the biggest show of the year, but he thinks that he and Flair need to focus on some other numbers, such as 10/7/10. He talked to Dixie Carter and said its time for Mick Foley and Ric Flair to settle their differences on 10/7/10, and hes asking Flair to meet him in the ring, one week from tonight when they go live, in the ring for the very last time. Flair drops the mic and walks out of the ring, and grabs a copy of Mick Foleys latest book out of the hands of some fat broad at ringside. Flair picks the mic back up and asks if he, the bestselling author, father, and couch potato want to wrestle him live? Then he tells Foley to watch this, and he puts the book down, stomps it, elbowdrops it, kneedrops it, and then punts it out of the ring. He calls Foley a son of a bitch and asks him how hes going to get out of it. Foley says he hasnt shown himself to be much of a wrestler out here for a long time, and people have wondered if Foley loves wrestling as much as all his outside interests. Up until a couple of weeks ago, the answer was no, but once he realized how much he hated to admit it, he needed Flair to bring out the best in him. Flair says thats what he does, he brings out the best in everybody, then punches himself in the head until he bleeds. Foley says two can play this game, and punches himself in the face until he bleeds. Flair says Foley is out of shape and Foley tells him to take his best shot, but Flair says that next week, hes going to have his whole family there to see the end of Foley and EV2.0. Flair says that Tommy Dreamer, who he respects as a man, told Flair that he is hardcore. Foley asks Flair how long hes been in the business, and Flair says 39 years. Foley says it took him nearly 40 years to realize hes hardcore and that hes what the wrestling business is all about. Foley says that hes renewed and has been the Nature Boy that he hasnt been in many years. Flair says that next Thursday hes going to beat Foley within an inch of his life. Foley says he feels like hes been coasting since hes been back here at TNA, and he asks Flair that next Thursday night, he wants him in a Last Man Standing match. Flair says that like his infamous saying goes, two men walk down that aisle and one walks out, and Foleys got it. Flair tells Foley that if he wins, hell kiss Foleys ass and starts going WOO at him and convulsing before bailing out of the ring. Foley finishes by saying that one week from tonight, hell see Flair in the ring, BANG BANG!
Backstage, Ken Anderson says hes been going through the call log on his cell phone and doesnt see any calls from Hulk Hogan, and asks Eric Bischoff if Hogan knows theres anyone else in that match. Bischoff says that Hogan and Angle have a lot in common because theyve both carried companies on their backs for years, and not to take it personally. But Bischoff knows what Andersons all about, and thats why hes booked Anderson against Samoa Joe tonight. Anderson says that Bischoff ought to bet on him beating Samoa Joe tonight and then winning the $100,000 battle royal next week.
Up next, Generation Me battles Ink Inc, and also the Motor City Machine Guns are backstage, and theyre WALKING!
We go to Mike and Taz, and they run down the card for Bound For Glory, and then send us back to the ring for our next match
Generation Me vs Ink Inc
GenMe have the tag title belt they stole from Chris Sabin last week. Jeremy kicks Shannon Moore in the gut and whips him to the corner, but Moore leapfrogs over him, gets a couple of armdrags, punches him in the face, and hits a legdrop to the crotch for 2. Jeremy tags out to Max, but Moore armdrags him too, and then tags out to Jesse Neal. They wipe Max out with a double shoulderblock and then Moore hiptosses Neal on top of Max for 2. Neal gets a dropkick for another 2, whips Max across the ring and charges, but Max gets the boot up and goes to the top for a moonsault move, but he comes down wrong on his leg and rolls out to the floor clutching his leg. Neal hesitates, so Jeremy runs in from behind and gives Neal a neckbreaker and then Max, miraculously healed, slides back in the ring and puts the boots to Neal. Jeremy tags in and Max pops him up into a dropkick on Neal and covers for 2. Max back in and he HITS THE CHINLOCK! Neal elbows out but Max dropkicks him right in the face and tags back out to Jeremy, who runs in and immediately cradles Neal for 2. Jeremy with another tag to Max, but Max accidentally clotheslines Jeremy and Neal makes the hot tag to Moore, who comes off the top rope with a flying bodypress and gets a series of dropkicks on Max. Moore with a leg lariat for 2, but Jeremy comes in and they try to double team Moore, but Moore gets a double Frankensteiner on both of them and pitches Jeremy to the floor. Moore with a Lionsault on Max for 2, and then all four men wind up in the ring. Neal misses a charge and hits the ringpost as Max gets a low kick and rolls Moore up for the win.
Winners: Generation Me
GenMe grab the title belt and start to leave, but then decide to rush back into the ring and beat Ink Inc up some more. They go for the double DDT, but the Motor City Machine Guns run out and GenMe heads for the hills. Sabin grabs his belt and makes angry faces at GenMe.
Backstage, Samoa Joe says hes appreciative of getting the match with Anderson because hes a top contender, and when he beats him, it puts him in contention so he can become the World Champion. Oh, and one last thing, Andersons right about one thing: he is an asshole.
Backstage, the MCMGs say that theyve waited four years to get the TNA World Tag Team Title, and if GenMe thinks theyre going to take the title, theyre sadly mistaken. Theyre going to see them in the battle royal next week, and revenge will be sweet.
Time for our next match
Ken Anderson vs Samoa Joe
Before the match starts, the Popes music hits and he comes strolling out to join Mike and Taz on commentary. Oh, and it looks like Sting and Kevin Nash are with him. Oh yeah, and go visit Dixie Carters Twitter. Joe takes Anderson to the corner and starts kicking the crap out of him. Anderson goes to a side headlock, but Joe rams him to the corner and knocks him silly with a leaping enziguiri. Joe sees Pope at the broadcast booth and shoots him a dirty look. Joe continues destroying Anderson, chopping and kicking him in the corner and choking him with his boot. Anderson fires back at Joe with rights and rams him to the corner, and now he starts stomping Joe down. Anderson goes off the ropes but Joe charges and bowls right over him. Joe with the facewash in the corner and then glances back over at Pope before covering for 2. Mike and Taz are trying to get some understanding of Popes situation with Sting and Nash, but as usual we get nothing useful so Ill just tune them out. Anderson gets a boot to Joes face on a backdrop attempt, and then a back elbow and a clothesline gets 2. Joe dodges a kick and Joe gets the Kokina Clutch, but Anderson gets a jawbreaker and the Mic Check and covers for 3.
Winner: Ken Anderson
Kevin Nash leaves the broadcast area and goes down to the ring with a bat to try and talk some sense to Joe. Nash tells Joe to leave Jeff Jarrett and join them, and they glare at each other and we go to commercial.
Okay, were back and during the break, Joe left the ring, so now Nash and company are in the ring and Nash has a mic. He says that bad things happen to bad people, and its amazing that Hulk Hogan is in a hospital bed right now, isnt it? For seven months, Stings been telling everyone whats been going on since Hogan and Bischoff came on board. Nash says that he guesses everyones been duped by them, but the three guys in the ring know exactly whats going on. Pope says that Nash and Sting have been around the block a few things, and if theres anyone who knows anything about running with wolves, its two guys who have run their own pack. It amazes Pope how Bischoff can keep trying to pull the wool over the eyes of Pope, but Pope is calling him out as a liar and a son of a Bischoff. This is a street war, and Hogan and Bischoff are coming out on the losing end. Sting says its all about Hogan and himself, and it started back in WCW. ITs a classic case of good and evil, and Sting asks the crowd if they came to see the good guys (crowd boos) or the bad guys (cheers). Sting wants to know whos wearing the black and white hat, and theres only one sure way to answer the question: Nash and Sting against Joe and Jarrett, and Sting wants to add to that and make it a six man by adding Pope, and then he tells Hogan to lace them up one more time and join up with Joe and Jarrett. No more games: at Bound For Glory, lets show the world whats really going on.
Eric Bischoffs music hits and Miss Tessmacher comes out oh, and shes got Bischoff with her. Eric says this is beyond disappointing, its actually disgusting. With Bound For Glory right around the corner, these three are in the ring showing their true colors. Bischoff says he sees two guys, Nash and Sting, who are at the end of their career and their best days are behind them, but Pope is still green behind the ears and has a lot to earn. This goes back to WCW 15 years ago when Bischoff tried to convince them that it was time to start working with the younger talent, but they just sat their and pouted when they didnt get their way. Nash has always been self serving and all about him and thats no surprise, but Pope is the one in the trifecta that disappoints him the most because he was in the World Title picture, but he lost along the way and bitched about it, so Bischoff gave him another chance and he blew it, and now hes crying about it. Ask Angle, Hardy, and Anderson if theres a conspiracy and theyll tell you theyre looking forward to Bound For Glory. They sit there like three cowards calling out Hulk Hogan, whos been in the hospital with a bad back, but Bischoff will tell them that Hulk Hogan will be here live, next week, and hell answer for himself, and he hopes they like the answer.
Backstage, AJ Styles asks Brian Kendrick if he has a death wish by hanging out with EV2.0 and coming after him. AJ says hes willing to put the TV Title on the line, and hell see him out there. He tells Flair that he dropped his wallet, so Flair bends over and picks up another Smirnoff Ice. He says he needed a drink anyway, so he chugs ALMOST the whole thing, goes WOO a bunch of times like Curly, and walks off.
Madison Rayne and Tara are backstage with Miss Tessmacher, who is reading them the riot act and telling them that she has the power to fire both of them. Velvet Sky, Angelina Love, and Lacey Von Erich come in and a brawl almost breaks out, but Tessmacher tells them to stop or shell fire them all. Tessmacher asks Madison if she brought the waiver to allow Tara back in the ring, and Madison says shell do whatever she needs to do to get her back in the ring because she gave Tara a job when she was out and flat on her ass. Madison yells at Angelina and you know what, screw it. Im not recapping this entire mess. The bottom line is that theres going to be a four way match at Bound For Glory for the Knockouts Title that I assume will include all of them but Lacey. Other than that, total Jerry Springer segment. Miss Tessmacher kicks them all out, then her cell phone rings. Someone wants to see her in 20 minutes for the usual. Okay, back to the ring for the next match
TV Title Match: AJ Styles vs Brian Kendrick
Ric Flair comes to the broadcast booth before the match and says that TNA doesnt know what they got themselves into, but hes going to take Foley out next week because hes a wrestling god. Back in the ring, Kendrick takes AJ to the corner and breaks clean, so AJ kicks him in the gut and gets a headlock. Kendrick tries to roll through but AJ hangs onto the head, so Kendrick whips AJ to the ropes and goes for a dropkick, but AJ moves and Kendrick misses completely. AJ rams Kendrick to the corner and chops him, then whips Kendrick to the opposite corner and tries a charge, but Kendrick dodges and gets a dropkick and a flying forearm, then an OConnor roll for 2. AJ with a back suplex and then chokes Kendrick on the ropes, and then distracts the ref so Matt Morgan can choke him too. AJ drags Kendrick back to the middle of the ring and covers for 2, then stomps a mudhole in Kendrick. Kendrick catches the boot and nails AJ with a clothesline and a series of dropkicks, but AJ wipes him out with a back elbow and tries a whip, but Kendrick counters with a nasty dropkick to the mouth and a tornado DDT. Kendrick goes to the top, but suddenly turns and dives onto Morgan instead. AJ tries a dive to the floor but Kendrick saw him coming and nailed him with a kick to the face, then goes up top for something, but Flair grabs the ankle and crotches him on the top rope, and AJ casually ppulls him off and hits the Styles Clash for the win.
Winner: AJ Styles
Backstage, Abyss says Kurt Angles not making it to Bound For Glory, and tonight, hes going to take him out because THEY told him to. Hell see Rob Van Dam at Bound For Glory, and challenges him to make it Monsters Ball Rules.
Rob Van Dam it back in California and says it probably wasnt the smartest thing to return like he did last night, but its always been about him putting his body on the line. Hes just hoping the doctors will clear him in time for Bound For Glory, and hes not going to do anything to jeopardize his health before then.
Dont forget: next week, its Before The Glory as TNA Impact goes live next Thursday!
Its main event time!
Cage Match: Abyss vs Kurt Angle
Angle goes right after Abyss, taking him to the corner and pounding on his skull. Abyss collapses in the corner, so Angle puts the boots to him and then picks him up and rams him into the cage. Angle continues unloading on Abyss, but tries a charge and Abyss runs right over him. Now Abyss starts whaling away on Angle in the corner and then chokes him. Abyss whips Angle to the corner and tries a charge, but Angle gets the boot up and comes off the second rope with a shoulderblock and covers for 2. Angle rams Abyss to the cage again and chokes him with the boot again. Angle picks up Abyss and thats right, ramns him to the cage again! Now Angle goes to the corner and grabs Janice, then decides against it and tosses it over the top of the cage to ringside. Oh, time for a commercial!
Okay, were back and Angle is still beating Abyss up, but Abyss catches him with a big boot to the face and then uses Angles best move, the ram into the cage, against him, and then does it again! Thats cold. Angles busted open, so Abyss repeatedly rams his fist into Angles skull and rams him into the cage a third time. We get an AWESOME shot of Angle laying on the mat with blood literally flowing out of his head and pooling on the mat. Abyss picks Angle up over his shoulder for a powerslam, but Angle slips out the back and clips Abyss knee out from under him. Now Angle gets on top of Abyss and starts raining punches down on him, then goes up to the top rope and comes off with a frogsplash for 2. Angles face is just COVERED with blood as he charges Abyss again, but gets goozled. Abyss goes for a chokeslam but Angle rolls through and gets the ankle lock. Abyss kicks Angle off and chokeslams him for 2. Abyss charges Angle in the corner but Angle moves and tries for the Angle Slam, but Abyss slips out the back and gets Shock Treatment for a close 2. Abyss goes to the second rope but takes his time, so when he goes for his splash Angle moves, then pulls down the straps and goes for the Angle Slam, but only gets 2. Angle tells the ref to open the door, but then tells him to stop and instead decides to drag Abyss out to the middle of the ring and climb his way up in the corner. Angle goes all the way to the top of the cage, but Abyss has recovered and made it to his feet and were out of time!
But luckily, Reaction starts right after Impact, so we start the show with the continuation of the match. Abyss chokeslams the ref, but Angle saw him, so he dives off the top of the cage and Abyss catches him coming down and hits the Black Hole Slam! That was awesome. Abyss rams Angle to the corner and goes for another chokeslam, and gets it. Oh, but no ref. Abyss goes over to check on the referee, but hes not very responsive, so instead he goes over and grabs Angle by the throat, but before he can do any more damage, Ken Anderson runs out. He climbs the cage and drops down into the ring and goes after Abyss, who was waiting patiently for him. Anderson beats the tar out of Abyss, but Abyss gets a knee to the gut and rams him into the cage twice before hitting another Black Hole Slam on Anderson. Crowd starts chanting for Hardy, but he doesnt show. Instead, Abyss rips the cage door off the hinges and goes out to get Janice. He brings her back in the ring but Angle attacks him as he comes back in and Abyss backs off. Angle picks up Janice and we cut to the Reaction opening. Is that the end of the match? Guess so. Lets call it

Kofi Kingston def. Jack Swagger by Disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH) In the main event of WWE Superstars, two of SmackDowns most talented young competitors went at it as the high-flying Kofi Kingston took on Jack Swagger. As expected, the match was a heated contest with the explosive Kingston using his frenzied offense to counteract the former World Heavyweight Champions ground based attack. But Kofi couldnt avoid Swaggers feared ankle lock. And as hes done in past altercations with Big Show and Rey Mysterio, the intense Swagger snapped and refused to release Kingston from the hold. The official had no choice but to disqualify the collegiate wrestling standout, but although he lost the match, The All-American American was the only Superstar who walked away unharmed.
WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho ended in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH | EXCLUSIVE: Medics assist Jericho) In a replay from Mondays Raw, Chris Jericho squared off with WWE Champion Randy Orton in a match that could have rendered all of Jerichos recent misfortunes obsolete. If the nefarious Superstar managed to defeat The Viper, he would indeed resurrect his standing in WWE. Alas, not only did victory escape him, but medics would be required to tend to his unconscious body.
Although Jericho poured every ounce of cunning and energy into the squared circle, even an attack on Orton by Sheamus and his attempted use of a steel chair against The Viper would prove useless. Orton appeared to be at the height of his powers, damaging the Irishman and dodging the metal weapon to level Jericho with an RKO.
With his Hell in a Cell opponent, Sheamus, observing at ringside, WWEs Apex Predator seemed to relish his next move. His opponent hobbled, Orton charged, swung back his leg and punted Jericho squarely in the skull. The kick transformed the ever-conceited Canadian into an oozing pile of flesh, who left the ring on a stretcher. The ruthless kick also undoubtedly left a strong impression on The Celtic Warrior with less than a week until he and The Viper square off in Hell.
The Bella Twins def. Jillian & Alicia Fox (PHOTOS | WATCH) With their NXT Rookie Diva Jamie Keyes by their side, the beautiful Bella Twins jumped into action against two of Raws most vicious vixens, Jillian Hall & Alicia Fox. There may have been a lot of beauty on display, but things got ugly very fast with Hall & Fox attacking the gorgeous sisters on the inside and outside of the ring. But just when it seemed like the evil Divas had gotten the better of Nikki & Brie, the twins scored a pin out of nowhere to pull off a big victory

Hernandez has not been on hand for TNA events in recent months because he is on loan to the Mexican based AAA promotion due to a talent exchange. According to the Pro Wrestling Torch, management has lost faith in pushing him as a singles star because his ring work has not progressed at the rate they feel it should.

The latest on Matt Hardy's WWE status Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 09/28/2010 at 02:59 PM

According to Bryan Alvarez, WWE wants Matt Hardy to address whatever issues he has at the moment. It seems as if Hardy is working a Brian Pillman-style angle on YouTube and Twitter where he is purposely trying to get himself fired. The company doesn't want Hardy going to TNA which appears to be a reason why he hasn't been fired yet. One source is noting that WWE's touring and TV schedule has been hectic lately, and thus the Hardy situation will likely be looked at more closely after the Hell in a Cell PPV.
The latest regarding Sting's status with TNA Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 09/29/2010 at 07:55 PM
Credit: F4WOnline.com
Regarding Stings future with TNA, his current deal expires at the end of this year and the situation is similar to what it is every year. Sting usually enters the year with the idea that it will be his last and then once the end of the year is coming up, Dixie Carter pushes him to re-sign for one more year.
Its said that Sting has never been less interested than he is right now but its hard to turn down the good money and limited schedule that TNA offers him.
If Sting leaves TNA, hes expected to be invited by WWE to the Hall of Fame next year in Atlanta. One source close to Sting says that a spot with WWE wont be a factor at all in his decision to stay with TNA and hes not someone who cares about a Hall of Fame.

Former WWE Diva making a return? Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 09/27/2010 at 11:41 PM
Former WWE performer Lauren Jones noted on her Twitter account this afternoon that she is meeting with WWE's Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, John Laurinaitis (Johnny Ace); likely regarding a possible return to the organization.
"Oh yeah, I forgot 2mention 2 all the amazing WWE fans out there!" she wrote. "I am meeting with talent development & Johny Ace 2 see what MIGHT b next..!"
Though she is long removed from WWE, Jones has kept in touch with Laurinaitis over the years and thus a possible return to the organization was never out of the question.
Since parting ways with WWE in June 2005, Jones has immersed herself in numerous endeavors including the launch of a successful wedding shoe line, her own network television show, the release of a workout DVD, radio hosting, and various other media platforms. She was also featured in a scene in the summer blockbuster The Expendables as Mickey Rourke's character's girlfriend.

The Miz & Alex Riley def. United States Champion Daniel Bryan & John Morrison Natalya won Diva Battle Royal to become No. 1 contender to the Unified Divas Championship Sheamus vs. The Great Khali ended in a No Contest John Cena def. Edge Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater def. Evan Bourne & Mark Henry WWE Tag Team Champions Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes def. The Hart Dynasty WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho ended in a No Contest
INDIANAPOLIS Its been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Whoever thought up that must have never watched Raw. There are a galaxy of Superstars who have never nurtured a good intention in their lives, and with just one week until they find themselves in Hell, they arent about to start now.
WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho ended in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH | EXCLUSIVE: Medics assist Jericho) This was to be Chris Jerichos moment, the match that would render all of his recent misfortunes obsolete. If Jericho could manage to defeat WWE Champion Randy Orton, he would indeed resurrect his standing in WWE. Alas, not only would victory escape him, medics would be required to tend to his unconscious body.
Although Jericho poured every ounce of cunning and energy into the squared circle, even an attack on Orton by Sheamus and his attempted use of a steel chair against The Viper would prove useless. Orton appeared to be at the height of his powers, damaging the Irishman and dodging the metal weapon to level Jericho with an RKO.
With his Hell in a Cell opponent, Sheamus, observing at ringside, WWEs Apex Predator seemed to relish his next move. His opponent hobbled, Orton charged, swung back his leg and punted Jericho squarely in the skull. The kick transformed the ever-conceited Canadian into an oozing pile of flesh, who left the ring on a stretcher. The ruthless kick also undoubtedly left a strong impression on The Celtic Warrior with less than a week until he and The Viper square off in Hell.
WWE Tag Team Champions Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes def. The Hart Dynasty (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Hart Dynasty continues to undergo palpitations. After David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd lost their match against WWE Tag Team Champions Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes, the two began bickering with one another. In an attempt to calm things, Natalya acted as peacemaker. Although the two simmered significantly, their anger was clearly just below the skin.
Johnny Knoxville to act as special guest star next week King of the Jackass crew, Johnny Knoxville, will bring his high-octane hijinx to Raw next week as special guest star of Raw.

The Nexus Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater def. Evan Bourne & Mark Henry; Nexus threatened to invade SmackDown (PHOTOS | WATCH) The power and quickness of Mark Henry & Evan Bourne may seem like thunder and lightning, but leave it to The Nexus to rain on their parade. Nexus members Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel teamed together to take down the duo in a tag team encounter.
Afterward, the other members of Nexus came forth to make an ominous announcement. Just two days before Hell in a Cell takes place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, the band of outlaws promised to invade the premiere of Friday Night SmackDown on its new home Syfy.
Upon hearing the plans of his Hell in a Cell opponent, Wade Barrett, John Cena vowed to show up at the SmackDown Syfy premiere as well, adding that, if he runs into the group, Hell in a Cell will start early.
Raws anonymous General Manager visited The Cutting Edge; John Cena def. Edge (PHOTOS | WATCH) It was a Cutting Edge first and, hopefully, last. Edge conducted his talk show segment with the disembodied, electronically-modified voice of the anonymous Raw GM through the omnipresent laptop computer. A frustrated Edge continually berated the GM, who apparently had heard enough and placed The Rated-R Superstar in a match against John Cena.
Although The Ultimate Opportunist was irate, he nonetheless tackled the challenge with aplomb, seemingly winning the bout. Unfortunately for him, Cenas foot had been under the rope, nullifying his victory. The Raw GM then called for the match to continue, and an exasperated Edge quickly tapped out to Cenas STF.
So enraged was Edge at the decision that he armed himself with a steel chair and, despite the GMs warnings to the contrary, proceeded to smash the laptop into a thousand angry pieces.
Sheamus vs. The Great Khali ended in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH) Sheamus seemed determined to send a message to his Hell in a Cell opponent, WWE Champion Randy Orton. As a result, the Irishman challenged any Superstar from the Raw roster to face him, and, in return, he received a rather large volunteer, The Great Khali. Normally, The Punjabi Giant would make chutney of his rivals, but The Celtic Warrior was in no mood for the former World Heavyweight Champion and pummeled his opponent into submission. Randy Orton, are you listening?
Ted DiBiase received an unusual note (WATCH) Mo money, mo problems. Golden couple Ted DiBiase and Maryse continued to experience relationship turmoil after the French Canadian lost in the Divas Battle Royal. As The Fortunate Son attempted to console her, someone slipped a note under their door. The missive was addressed to DiBiase and contained the cryptic message, Next week you WILL be mine.
Natalya won Diva Battle Royal to become No. 1 contender to the Unified Divas Championship (PHOTOS | WATCH) The pink-and-black attack is back. The Hart Dynastys Natalya seized her opportunity in a Diva Battle Royal to become the No. 1 contender to the Unified Divas Championship. The beautiful powerhouse defeated Melina, Eve, Gail Kim, Alicia Fox, Maryse, Jillian, Tamina and The Bella Twins as current Unified Divas Champion Michelle McCool and her Flawless co-conspirator, Layla, observed from ringside.
The Miz & Alex Riley def. United States Champion Daniel Bryan & John Morrison; Raw GM arranged U.S. Championship Triple Threat Submissions Count Anywhere Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Miz may consider himself a sage and wise teacher, but the egomaniac still has a lot to learn. After spouting off about how hes better than the U.S. Champion Daniel Bryan, The Cleveland Screamer teamed with his assistant Alex Riley in a tag match against Daniel Bryan and Mizs former partner, John Morrison! Although Miz managed to squeak out a victory due to a miscalculation by the opposition, the fight continued outside the ring, prompting the anonymous Raw General Manager to chime in.
The GM arranged a match for Hell in a Cell that puts Miz at a distinct disadvantage: A U.S. Championship Triple Threat Submissions Count Anywhere Match. In short, the stipulations favor submissions specialist Daniel Bryan and the man whose athleticism translates anywhere, John Morrison.

There have been rumors within WWE about RAW Diva Jillian Hall's future with the company. While her status with the company is in good standing, plans are being made to "retire" Jillian as an on-air performer. She would then work as a trainer to WWE's female developmental talents in Tampa, Florida. No word yet when these changes will happen with Jillian but that is the plan.
