The PWTorch.com Newsletter is reporting that Kevin Nash recommended that TNA officials kick the intoxicated Scott Hall out of the building at the Turning Point PPV on Sunday night. Nash even went so far as to suggest that police should escort Hall off the property. Hall was upset with Nash, but eventually left without incident.
Hall was not scheduled to be included in the storylines, nor was he allowed at ringside. Hall simple showed up with the Insane Clown Posse, who were granted permission to sit in the front row in their JCW shirts as part of a friendly promotional deal. Jeff Jarrett personally gave ICP permission to appear on camera, but was unaware that Hall would be accompanying them. There is no heat between TNA and ICP, but management didn't want Hall to distract fans from the in-ring action so they had them removed after a couple matches.

* World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho def. Shawn Michaels in a Last Man Standing Match * Womens Champion Beth Phoenix def. Mickie James * Batista def. Cody Rhodes * Rey Mysterio def. Kane in a No Disqualification Match * Mike Knox def. D-Lo Brown * William Regal def. Santino Marella to become the new Intercontinental Champion
MANCHESTER, England As part of WWEs tour of the United Kingdom, Monday Night Raw appeared in Manchester, England, before a sold-out crowd. In the absence of a General Manager, following Mike Adamles resignation, Stephanie McMahon appeared early in the show to set the tone for the night. Though she denied Batistas request for a rematch against World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, she did make matches intended to put an end to two of Raws most heated rivalries: World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels in a Last Man Standing Match and Rey Mysterio vs. Kane in a No Disqualification Match.
World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho def. Shawn Michaels in a Last Man Standing Match Though Chris Jerichos World Heavyweight Title wasnt being defended, there was still a lot on the line as these two Superstars faced off in one of WWEs most grueling matches. Designed to put an end to the long-running, extremely personal rivalry between Jericho and HBK, the ring warriors gave their all in front of the WWE Universe in Manchester. As has been his modus operandi, however, Jericho refused to fight fairly, and was assisted during the match by JBL, who was eager to do damage against his opposing Survivor Series team captain, Shawn Michaels. Though HBK hit Jericho with Sweet Chin music, The Showstopper was subsequently the victim of a steel chair shot from JBL, allowing the World Heavyweight Champion to pull himself to his feet for the win.
Womens Champion Beth Phoenix def. Mickie James Both members of Glamarella were forced to defend their titles on Monday night, with Santino Marella losing the Intercontinental Title to William Regal, and Beth Phoenix defending her Womens Championship against Mickie James. The Glamazon was able to retain some of Glamarellas glory, by defeating James and retaining her gold.
Batista def. Cody Rhodes who took Randy Ortons place in the match. Randy Orton came to the ring ready to face Batista, but after his entrance, Cody Rhodes & Manu joined them in the ring. Rhodes then told the Legend Killer that he would take on Batista and show Orton how its done. Unfortunately for Rhodes, however, he was unable to tame The Animal, who not only defeated the second-generation Superstar, but also speared Manu, as Orton looked on from the ramp.
Rey Mysterio def. Kane in a No Disqualification Match. In a contest designed to put an end to the months-long rivalry between Rey Mysterio and Kane, the Master of the 619 faced the Big Red Monster in a No Disqualification Match. Though the two ring warriors had faced one another in traditional singles competition and tag team matches, never before had they been given such complete freedom to do damage to one another. Though there were no fetters holding back the outrageous power of the 7-footer, it was the speed and ingenuity of Mysterio that won the day, with the Ultimate Underdog pinning Kane for the win.
Following the match, Randy Orton was confronted by Cody Rhodes and Manu in the locker room area. The two second-generation Superstars told Orton that they werent going to let him get away with punting their associate, Ted DiBiase, in the head the week before. The Legend Killer claimed that DiBiase was the weak link in their group and that he did them a favor by taking him out of commission. Rhodes responded by slapping Orton in the face. The youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history moved toward the younger Superstar with rage in his eyes, but reluctantly decided to back off after an angry Manu placed himself in Ortons way.
Mike Knox def. D-Lo Brown. In Mike Knoxs first match as a member of the Raw brand, he faced D-Lo Brown. The Desert Destroyer steamrolled over Brown, making clear his intention to become a force to be reckoned with on Monday nights.
After the match, Womens Champion Beth Phoenix attempted to console her beau, Santino Marella over his lost Intercontinental Title. The Italian Superstar had just gotten off the phone with Shane McMahon, and alerted The Glamazon that she would be defending her title later in the night against Mickie James.
William Regal def. Santino Marella to become the new Intercontinental Champion. Santino Marella came to the ring as he normally does, accompanied by Womens Champion Beth Phoenix, and flaunting the length of his Intercontinental Title reign. The Italian Superstar even discarded the Honk-A-Meter for the new Honk-A-Perfect-Mountie-Meter, combining the title reigns of Honky Tonk Man, Mr. Perfect and The Mountie for a total of 123 weeks, which Santino was only two years and four months from beating. Marellas hopes were dashed, however, by William Regal, who competing in his homeland of England and accompanied by fellow Brit, Layla, quickly defeated the braggadocios Italian to become the new Intercontinental Champion.
Stephanie McMahon denied Batista his rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship and made two huge matches for the nights show; Batista challenged Randy Orton to a match and then speared the Legend Killer After losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Chris Jericho in a Steel Cage Match the week before, Batista was eager invoke his rematch clause on Raw. However, Stephanie McMahon appeared on the TitanTron to address The Animal, alerting him that due to her brother Shanes promise that whoever won the Steel Cage Match would go on to face John Cena at Survivor Series, she was unable to grant Batistas request until after the pay-per-view event. Though the WWE Universe wouldnt see the World Heavyweight Championship defended, Stephanie did make two matches designed to bring closure to some of Raws most heated rivalries: Rey Mysterio vs. Kane in a No Disqualification Match and World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels in a Last Man Standing Match.
After those announcements, Randy Orton made his way to the ring, dredging up bad history from he and Batistas days in Evolution. The Legend Killer then told The Animal that after Cena, it was his turn for a title opportunity, not Batistas. Since Stephanie McMahon had already made the night about settling old scores, The Animal challenged Orton to a match live on Raw. The third-generation Superstar accepted the challenge with an insult to Batista, who then attempted to hit Orton with a Batista Bomb, before the Legend Killer escaped and fled the ring.

For several months there have been conflicting stories regarding Christian Cage's future in wrestling. One source will say that he is staying with TNA, another will say that he is returning to WWE.
The latest report from prowrestling.net states that Christian Cage is indeed expected to leave TNA and return to World Wrestling Entertainment once his contract expires.
According to multiple sources, Cage recently informed TNA President Dixie Carter as well as Jeff Jarrett that that he felt it was in his best interest to consider his options with WWE.
It's being said that last night's Turning Point pay-per-view or this week's set of Impact television tapings could be Cage's final appearances with TNA.
Most of Cage's friends believe he is heading back to WWE once his contract with TNA expires.

Hall was drunk and did not have approval to be at ringside during that match. However, TNA management was aware he was in the building before he went to ringside.

Charles Doyle "Charlie" Haas (Houston (Texas), 27 maart 1972) is een Amerikaanse professionele worstelaar die werkt voor World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), beter gekend met zijn worstelnaam Charlie Haas. Haas worstelt momenteel voor RAW.
WWE Carrière Als Seton Hall Universiteit alumni kregen zowel Charlie Haas als zijn broer, Russ, een WWF ontwikkelinks contract in Memphis Championship Wrestling maar tegen het einde van 2001 overleed Russ aan hartfalen. Haas ging door met worstelen, waarbij hij kort de naam R.C. Haas gebruikte (Russ-Charlie Haas) en "Russ" op zijn polstape schreef om zijn broer te gedenken.
Nadat hij in verschillende ontwikkelings gebieden had gewerkt, debuteerde Haas voor de WWE op 26 december 2002 als een heel naar Shelton Benjamin als "Team Angle". Het tag team was een plan van Paul Heyman en was bedoeld om de WWE Champion Kurt Angle te helpen bij het behouden van zijn titel, en ze vielen Chris Benoit en Brock Lesnar aan in een poging hen te verzwakken. Angle sloeg uiteindelijk Team Angle na een face-turn tijdens die periode en ze begonnen zijn leiderschap te betwijfelen. Het duo werd het "(zelf verklaarde) World's Greatest Tag-Team". Het team won het WWE Tag Team Championship twee maal voor ze scheiden toen Benjamin verhuisde van SmackDown! naar RAW.
Toen Benjamin weg was, turnde Haas face en vormde een team met Rico en zijn valet Miss Jackie om de tag team titels opnieuw te winnen. Het team werd een belangrijke kracht, met de strenge Haas samen met de charismatische Rico. Nadat Rico werd ontslagen stond Haas opnieuw op zichzelf, vergezeld door Miss Jackie. Haas was de verliezer in een match tegen Luther Reigns tijdens de The Great American Bash 2004.
Haas was later betrokken in een Anglewaarin hij in een driehoeksverhouding was met Miss Jackie (op televisie zijn verloofde) en Dawn Marie. Het verhaal kwam tot een hoogtepunt toen Haas diende als de scheidsrechter in een match tijdens Armageddon 2004 tussen de twee vrouwen. Na de match verliet Haas beide vrouwen (voor kayfabe redenen; zijn werkelijke relatie met Miss Jackie duurde voort). Toen vormde hij een tag team met Hardcore Holly. Ze hadden gelimiteerd succes op SmackDown!, waaronder een feud met MNM voor het WWE Tag Team Kampioenschap, maar ze wonnen nooit de titels.
Ontslag Op 6 juli 2005 werd Haas ontslagen door de WWE samen met zijn vrouw Jackie Gayda. Hij keerde diezelfde maand terug naar Jersey All Pro Wrestling en begon een feud voor het JAPW Heavyweight Championship met Jay Lethal. Op 10 september tijdens JAPW Haas of Pain versloeg Lethal Haas om zijn titel te behouden.
Hij won het Natural Heavyweight Championship tijdens Ballpark Brawl V op 13 augustus 2005, door de toenmalige kampioen Christopher Daniels en Chris Sabin te verslaan in een triple threat match. Hij verdedigde zijn titel succesvol de volgende avond tijdens Ballpark Brawl VI tegen Harry Smith. De titel werd hem ontnomen toen hij terugkeerde en was tot nu toe de enige man die zijn titel succesvol verdedigde.
Tijdens deze tijd nam Haas ook deel aan het ECWA Super 8 Toernooi 2006 en kwam tot in de finale maar verloor van Davey Richards.
Terugkeer naar de WWE In het einde van december 2005 tekende Charlie Haas opnieuw met de WWE, en keerde terug naar OVW op 22 februari 2006, waarbij hij verloor van Paul Burchill. Hij keerde terug naar WWE televisie op 17 april 2006 tijdens een aflevering van RAW als Rob Van Dam's handgekozen tegenstander voor zijn voormalige partner, Shelton Benjamin. Haas versloeg Benjamin in de match die daarop volgde.
Haas vervolgde met worstelen op de lagere middenklasse, vaak deelnemend op WWE HEAT en soms op RAW.
Op de editie van RAW op 5 juni 2006 duwde Charlie Haas per ongeluk Lilian Garcia van de ring zijkant toen hij de ring binnenkwam. Het werd daarna op WWE.com aangekondigd dat Lilian een gekneusde pols opgelopen had. Het werd bekendgemaakt dat dit hem geen slechte naam opleverde omdat iedereen inzag dat dit een ongeluk was (er moet ook vermeld worden dat de blessure geen work was). Het resultaat was een feud met Lilian's verhaallijn minnaar Viscera en Haas zijn tweede heel periode in zijn WWE carrière. Haas maakte avances richting Lilian, tot hij haar gedwongen kuste en haar toen op de grond liet vallen. Haas en Viscera bleven vechten voor de affectie van Lilian in de ring, tot Lilian verklaarde aan hen beiden dat ze "gewoon vrienden" wilde zijn. Haas sloeg Viscera toen op zijn oog van woede en een blinde Viscera gaf perongeluk een Samoan Drop aan Lilian. Hoewel het per ongeluk was, begonnen beide worstelaars te lachen toen ze zagen wat er met haar gebeurde. Recentelijk zijn Viscera en Haas een tag team geworden.
Worstel feiten Naar het gebrek aan heat en reactie van het publiek wordt door de internet worstel community verwezen als een Haas pop. WWE namen de zin een aantal jaren terug over, maar gebruiken het sinds kort regelmatig.

Theme muziek Haas kreeg nieuwe theme muziek in mei 2005, een liedje uitgevoerd door Eric & The Hostiles met de titel "Pay the price". Het werd voorheen gebruikt als het nummer voor The Great American Bash 2005 pay-per-view, maar WWE componist Jim Johnston veranderde het drum ritme voor Haas zijn theme. Het werd aangeboden als bonus nummer op het WWE Wreckless Intent album als een exclusieve iTunes download, als men het volledige album via die weg kocht.

After coming so close to winning the WWE Championship time after time and being told by SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero that he doesnt have what it takes to become WWE Champion, a recluse Jeff Hardy made it clear to the WWE Universe that he would use any means necessary to get another chance.
(WATCH SMACKDOWN QUICK CUT)
The Miz & John Morrison def. WWE Champion Triple H & Jeff Hardy (DQ) (PHOTOS) Jeff Hardy showed up to his tag team match determined to show Guerrero that he could overcome The Dirt Sheet stars on his own. Once Triple H tagged him in to the match, he refused to tag out again. When he was unable to score a pinfall and The Game came to his aid, Hardy snapped, causing the disqualification as he swung and threw a steel chair wildly at both Miz and Morrison.
Vladimir Kozlov def. Undertaker (DQ) (WATCH | PHOTOS) Determined to demonstrate the extreme nature of his cause, Jeff Hardy went on to sabotage the main event match between the undefeated Vladimir Kozlov and Undertaker. Hardy attacked the Moscow Mauler with a chair, simultaneously handing Kozlov a win by disqualification and an apparent chance at WWE Champion Triple H at Survivor Series. After the bell, the out of control Hardy danced with death, smashing The Phenom over the head as well. He then returned to Guerrero and secured himself an Extreme Rules Match next week against the legendary Deadman.
United States Champion Shelton Benjamin def. R-Truth United States Championship (PHOTOS) The Gold Standard successfully survived an explosive onslaught by R-Truth, hitting his devastating Pay Dirt to reign supreme and retain his United States Championship.
Brie Bella def. Victoria (WATCH | PHOTOS) After Brie Bella beat Victoria with a surprise inside cradle, she once again sought refuge under the ring. When both Victoria and Natalya began dragging her out from completely different places, it was revealed that the mysterious Diva actually has a twin! The dynamic duo proceeded to give their opposition a simultaneous beat down. WWE.com has learned that Bries twin is named Nikki and has secured exclusive post match photos. Check back tomorrow for an exclusive photo shoot with the Bella sisters.
The Great Khali def. Montel Vontavious Porter (PHOTOS) The Great Khali and Ranjin Singh interrupted the VIP Lounge in order to treat the WWE Universe to another sizzling Kiss Cam. (WATCH | PHOTOS) Although MVP refused their invitation to stick around and stormed out paving the way for the Punjabi Playboy to kiss two of Orlandos sunniest sweethearts the Ballin Superstar returned to get a few shots in. A vengeful Khali earned a victory over MVP with his mighty two-handed chokeslam, leaving his adversary one win short in his continued quest to earn his promised intensive bonus. With another mark in the loss column, will MVP earn his bonus by the Survivor Series deadline? Or will he have to pay back the multi-million dollar signing bonus from his original contract?
Ezekiel Jackson def. Jimmy Wang Yang (WATCH | PHOTOS) In retribution for Jimmy Wang Yangs win by disqualification over The Brian Kendrick last week, Ezekiel Jackson manhandled the Asian redneck, ruthlessly hurling him into to the canvas for the pin. After the bell, Jacksons associate once again treated Yang to The Kendrick.
Breaking news: Two WWE superstars released Posted by Randy Gordon on 11/07/2008 at 07:18 PM
The following is from WWE.com:
Paul London and Chuck Palumbo released Written: November 7, 2008
World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Superstars Paul London and Chuck Palumbo as of Nov. 7, 2008. WWE wishes them the best in all future endeavors.
After a great deal of speculation regarding his future with TNA Wrestling, it now appears Christian Cage will remain with the company. Backstage sources indicate that he did not intend to leave the company and reports coming out about his possible departure were untrue. Cage expressed to WWE officials that he had no interest in re-signing with them. TNA believes if Christian were to leave that he would have made his intentions known by now.
Awesome Kong, one of the focal parts of TNA's Knockout division recently got heat from management when her contract expired and she tried to play hardball and get a pay rise. TNA out right refused and gave her a verbal bashing for even considering it. It is believed she renewed at a similar deal as she originally signed, although her renewal is not 100% confirmed; they may still be in negotiations
Despite drawing consistently high ratings (many times the highest on Impact) the women make less than the male mid carders.
The feeling is that because Gail Kim has yet to show up in WWE they have less "well I'll go to WWE instead" bargaining power.
Taped in Orlando, FL [Q1] Footage aired of the last weeks happenings between the Main Event Mafia and the young stars of TNA
The opening video aired and fireworks lit up the Impact Zone. Mike Tenay and Don West welcomed us to the show. The main event of Samoa Joe vs. Scott Steiner was plugged
The music of the MEM hit and they came out to the ring. Kurt Angle introduced the Hitman of the MEM, Scott Steiner. Steiner came out in a suit to his own music. Steiner and Nash gave each other the old nWo finger bump.
Steiner gave a promo that only Steiner could give. He actually came across as more of a face than anything. He said the guys in the back go to mark wrestling sites looking to see if you had a four or five star match. He tore Styles and Joe a new one. You had to see this to believe it. He told the young guys the closest they would come to greatness was when they faced one of the members of the MEM.
Samoa Joe and a bunch of young guys came out to the stage. Joe said they might be offended if they could have understood half of what Steiner had to say. Funny. Joe said he would give Steiner something to talk about at the Millionaires Club Circle Jerk when he chokes him out tonight. Joe said Steiner was a nice free agent acquisition but they had one of their own. Christian Cages music hit and he came out to the stage.
Cage told Joe he did not and would not pick a side, but he was willing to lend a helping hand. Christian said the young guys just wanted the same opportunities that the established guys had. He then said he would win the Legends Title from Booker T, stand over him, and say, I am legend. Booker said Christian would be forced to join the MEM on Sunday and Booker would own his punk ass
Twills Two Cents: That was, well, unspectacular. I guess we needed that to establish some things and Steiner was at his incoherent best, but I do not want to see a bunch of segments like that one. By the way, happy birthday to my favorite reader!
