On the eve of Americas Independence Day things were not looking so hot for Americas self proclaimed hero, the Olympic gold medalist, Kurt Angle. The night kicked off with AJ Styles coming to the ring with Kurts wife Karen, and calling him out.
Styles challenge was not answered by Kurt though, instead Team 3D, Brother Ray and Brother Devon came to the ring and told AJ that Kurt hadnt made it to the arena yet because he was out on some hot dates. From there Brother Ray went to on to say that Karen was the problem and that she was nothing but a b**** and a w****. AJ had heard enough and attacked both Brother Ray and Brother Devon. In the end though, the numbers game was too much and AJ was once again left lying in the ring. That is until Rhino came out and made the save. From there Rhino challenged Team 3D along with Kurt Angle to a match at Victory Road. It was to be Team 3D and Kurt Angle versus Rhino, AJ Styles, and Christian Cage. Without hesitation Brother Devon accepted the challenge. The match was made with the fans getting to choose to the stipulation.
Up next we were shown footage from Kurts first blind date. He had met the first date at the gym which from the looks of the lady, it was the first time she had ever seen the inside of one. The lady was a beast to put it nicely. Suffice to say Kurt was not pleased.
Back at the iMPACT! Zone, LAX was addressing the fans and Beer Money, Robert Roode and James Storm via a live satellite feed from Houston, Texas where they were on a PR tour for the upcoming Pay-Per-View. Mid sentence Hector was interrupted as out came Storm, Jackie, and Roode for their match with the Motor City Machine Guns. The match didnt go as Beer Money had promised because after a back and forth match they ended up losing. This came at the hands of Jackie getting up on the ring apron to spit beer in Chris Sabins face but missing and instead spraying Storm in the face. In an effort to take out their anger, Beer Money did something that has become common practice for them, they handcuffed their opponents, the Motor City Machine Guns to the ring ropes and began whipping them with belts. Both the refs and security that came down took the brunt of their frustrations as well. Even announcer Don West got a few whips from the belts. Finally, Jim Cornette came down to the ring and put an end to the mayhem. He then said that Beer Money would face the two most disgruntled and upset wrestlers that he could find in the back later on that night.
Up next we see footage from Kurts second date. If you thought the first date was bad, this one was even worse. Lets just say this date had a little something extra and not in a good way .she or should we say he was a man. Kurt was once again not pleased.
Back in the arena Roxxi and Moose were squaring off in the second ever Bimbo Brawl. In a match that saw both ladies take a ton of punishment it was Moose that picked up the win when she split Roxxi open after DDTing her on to a street sign in the middle of the ring.
In the back we see Kevin Nash being asked by Cornette to face Beer Money later that night. Nash agrees to do so and then asks who his opponent will be. Cornette is hesitant but tells him it will be the TNA World Heavyweight Champion Samoa Joe. Nash says he sees this as an opportunity.
Joe didnt take the news as well when he was told Nash would be his partner. In the end Cornette told him he didnt have a choice and thus the main event was set for later in the night.
It was time for Angles last blind date. At first it seemed like this one would turn out ok until it came out that the woman had a spastic colon. Kurt promised he was going to get Brother Ray for setting him up on three terrible blind dates.
In the second round of the World X Cup it was Alex Kozlov accompanied by Davari taking on Ray Bucanero of Team Mexico. Kozlov started off strong and got an early near fall. In the end though, it was Team Mexico that got the victory and two more points when Bucanero hit a senton bomb from the tope rope.
Kurt had finally arrived at the arena and came out to the ring. He immediately called out Brother Ray. Both Brother Ray and Brother Devon come out immediately Brother Ray tries to calm Kurt down. He tells them all about the match that Brother Devon had agreed to for them. He also apologized for the dates and said he had lost his black book and thus he had to use Brother Devons black book and that is where those ladies had come from.
Brother Ray said he would make it up to Kurt and called out a very pretty blond lady to the ring. It was going well until she told Kurt that one of her traits was that she was very loyal. Kurt got angry saying no lady was loyal and they all cheated just like his wife Karen. It looked like Kurt was going to get physical, he then apologized saying he would never strike a woman but he knew someone who would. Out came the beautiful people. They attacked the woman in the ring and put a brown bag over her head.
It was about this time that Karen came out and slapped Kurt in the face and knocked down both Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. They got back to their feet and all start to surround Karen when out comes AJ, ODB, Gail Kim, and Rhino. All eight of them begin going at it all hell has broken loose in the ring.
After a commercial break and everyone in the ring had been broken up Jeremy Borash is in the back with Booker T in his plush locker room. Booker says he thinks its great that Joe is so focused on Nash because that way Joe has not been concentrating on him. He promises that he will win the title from Joe in his home town of Houston at Victory Road.
Another portion of Rough Cut with Matt Morgan airs and he is talking about how he got into wrestling.
In the next round of the World X Cup it is Curry Man of Team TNA taking on Team Japans Milano. In a back and forth match it was Team Japan that picked up the win after a low blow.
In the back Lauren is interviewing Storm and Roode who say they arent afraid of Nash or Joe. James Storm also shows off his new Beer Money home made t-shirts.
In a much anticipated match Taylor is facing Raisha Saeed for a chance to face Awesome King next week for not only the 25,000 dollars but also the Knockouts Title. After a back and forth match that included interference from Kong on more than one occasion, it was Taylor that got the win with a German Suplex. Next week she would have her rematch with Kong.
In the main event of the night, it was Beer Money going against Joe and Nash. It was clear that both Joe and Nash were having trouble co existing each trying to upstage the other. Although, this was coming more from Joe, especially when he blind tagged himself into the match. It was a back and forth match. Nash tried to get the tag in at one point and got a one arm salute from Joe. In the end Joe hit a muscle buster for the win. One thing is for sure this night did not go well at all for Beer Money as they lost both their matches. Momentum is clearly on the side of LAX heading into their title match at Victory Road.
Back in the ring, even after picking up the win Joe and Nash are having words with each other. Suddenly they are interrupted when Sting of all peoples music began playing! Was he back? YES! Sting was up in the rafters looking down as iMPACT! went off the air.

Background Info & Details On ECWs Newest Star Posted by Andy Steven on 07/02/2008 at 02:53 AM
Atlas Ortiz (Richard Young) made his official WWE television debut on this weeks edition of ECW on Sci Fi. He is from Phoenix, Arizona and was born on May 12, 1975.
Atlas Ortiz made his wrestling debut in WWEs former developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling back in January 2007 as Atlas Da Bone. He was billed as one of the most charismatic superstars during his time in OVW. Atlas Ortiz has more recently been working in WWEs current developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling, also as Atlas Da Bone.
Atlas Ortiz also has a big background in football, including paying for the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs practice squad, a stint in Vince McMahons XFL and the CFL as well as several stints in the AFL.
United States Champion Matt Hardy, Finlay & Hornswoggle def. WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison & Chavo Guerrero Atlas Ortiz def. Armando Estrada ECW Champion Mark Henry def. Colin Delaney (non-title)
TULSA, Okla. - After bringing the ECW Championship back home to the Land of the Extreme proving triumphant in an epic Triple Threat Match with Kane and Big Show at Night of Champions ECW Champion Mark Henry celebrated with a crushing victory over the courageous Colin Delaney. (WATCH)
Earlier in the evening, Tommy Dreamer with Delaney in tow interrupted Henry and questioned whether the Worlds Strongest Man actually knew what it meant to hold the coveted extreme title. After challenging Henry, the unimpressed new champion proclaimed that if young Delaney could beat him, he would give Dreamer his opportunity. Unfortunately for the ECW Original, although Delaney possessed the heart and soul of ECW, he could not overcome such enormous odds.
As part of his New Superstar Initiative, ECW General Manager Theodore Long introduced Atlas Ortiz, the latest addition to the ECW roster. The newcomer made a notable first impression, scoring a victory over former ECW GM Armando Estrada in his debut match.
In a fast and furious Six-Man Tag Team Match, United States Champion Matt Hardy teamed with fellow ECW draftees Finlay & Hornswoggle to defeat WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison & their partner Chavo Guerrero. After Hardy delivered the Twist of Fate to Morrison, and Hornswoggle dropped the Tadpole Splash on Guerrero, Finlay finished off the self-proclaimed Mexican Warrior with an authoritative Celtic Cross.

Darren Wade & Steve Anthony Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston def. Chris Jericho (disqualification) World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk def. JBL (World Heavyweight Championship Match)
OKLAHOMA CITY Mondays Raw saw the largest crowd ever for a WWE live event in Oklahoma City, with 11,560 fans in attendance to witness Jim Ross farewell to Raw. Though the packed show began without the brand holding a World Championship, it was a different case by the time the night ended. In the course of the evening, CM Punk cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to compete against Edge and win the Rated-R Superstars World Heavyweight Championship, bringing the title back to Raw for the first time in years. (WATCH)
Y2Jaded Another recent draftee who found himself wearing gold on Monday night was new Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston. The Jamaican Superstar was forced to defend his title against the man he won it from the night before, Chris Jericho. Y2J came to the ring bitter at the Night of Champions turn-out, blaming his loss on Shawn Michaels for interfering in the match, and challenging HBK to a contest at The Great American Bash in just three weeks. The match ended with Jericho being disqualified for pulling on Kingstons tights during a pin, leaving the Intercontinental Championship securely around the Jamaican Superstars waist. Furious at his second loss to Kingston in two nights, Y2J assaulted the Intercontinental Champion after their match, going for the eyes just as he has against HBK in recent weeks. (WATCH)
A Private Matter Though the night was packed with action and fallout from Night of Champions, it began on a down note. As promised, Shane McMahon addressed the WWE Universe in regards to the accident that fell Mr. McMahon at the end of last weeks Raw. Shane opted to keep the WWE Chairmans condition private, but did urge the Raw Superstars and all WWE employees to pull together during this period of uncertainty. Read the full story... (WATCH)
Shutting up Santino Having just joined the Raw Roster as part of the 2008 Draft, Rey Mysterio greeted the Raw audience and told them how excited he was to be on Monday nights. Before he could say much else, however, Santino Marella came to the ring and interrupted the Master of the 619. The Italian Superstar spoke down to the Ultimate Underdog, insulting the former World Champion and not allowing him a word in edgewise. Mysterio bided his time, and then gave the audience exactly what they wanted: Attacking Marella and shutting him up with the 619. (WATCH)
Young Turks At Night of Champions, Cody Rhodes shocked the world by betraying his partner and mentor, Hardcore Holly, teaming with Ted DiBiase to defeat the veteran and become the new World Tag Team Champions. On Monday night, the two competed in their second match as a team against Darren Wade & Steve Anthony. After winning the match with a particularly strong showing, Cody explained his betrayal the night before, saying that he approached DiBiase about forming a partnership, since he was tired of carrying Hardcore Holly in the ring. DiBiase added that most other young people dont have the spine that they do, declaring their new partnership simply priceless.
A Sad Song for Jillian Fresh off her Night of Champions victory over Katie Lea Burchill, WWE Womens Champion squared off against Jillian in a non-title match. The Womens Champion showed why she deserves to have gold around her waist, pinning Jillian for the win after hitting the songstress with a Mick Kick.
Big Red Mistake The night before, Kane had lost his ECW Championship to Mark Henry, so he probably wasnt the best person to show aggression toward on Monday night. Jamie Noble, however, was hoping to impress Katie Lea Burchill by issuing a warning to the biggest, baddest guy around, who happened to be the Big Red Machine. Kane didnt take kindly to Nobles threats, and chased him to ring, where he physically punished the recent Raw draftee.
Straightedge Champion As mentioned earlier, CM Punk made good use of his Money in the Bank briefcase on Monday night, winning the World Heavyweight Championship from Edge. Proving that he was no paper champion, the Straightedge Superstar went on to successfully defend his new title against JBL. To get all the details on CM Punks triumphant win, and his first World Title defense, read the full story
D-Lo Brown made his return to World Wrestling Entertainment tonight in a dark match prior to WWE Monday Night Raw at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City. D-Lo Brown defeated Charlie Haas after a frog splash.
WWE announced that D-Lo Brown had been signed to a contract on June 5, 2008.

HOUSTON SmackDown hit the stage with a new look and a new sound after the 2008 WWE Draft sent the likes of WWE Champion Triple H and Hall of Fame commentator Jim Ross to the blue brand. Still, the night featured a familiar sight: Batista hoisting the World Heavyweight Championship in front of the WWE Universe.
Arguably the Draft pick who made the most waves on Mondays edition of Raw, Triple H kicked off the evening with a formal introduction. It didnt take long for World Heavyweight Champion Edge to stir up some trouble, perhaps already playing mind games with The Game. It took even less time for Batista to rush to ringside and spear the title holder after The King of Kings cast him from the squared circle. The Animal grabbed Edges gold and raised it alongside SmackDowns newest Superstar.
That image would be similar after the main event match between Batista and Umaga. The contest wouldnt reach a conclusion before Edge, Chavo Guerrero, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder all joined in to tame the Animal.
Triple H returned Batistas favor from earlier that night, climbing into the ring and knocking the Samoan Bulldozer from the top of the turnbuckle for an earth-shattering fall. Between The Game and Batista, the squared circle was cleared out in a matter of seconds, leaving the WWE Champion and the hopeful World Heavyweight Champion to celebrate.
Edges night wasnt completely unsuccessful, however. The Ultimate Opportunist took on new ECW Superstar United States Champion Matt Hardy in a non-title Champion vs. Champion bout. Making good on his nickname, Edge seized the opportunity when Hardy was distracted. The United States Champion was left immobile after a devastating spear, allowing Hardy only to wait for the inevitable pin.
Hawkins & Ryder were also involved earlier in the evening. The duo took on the father-son pair of Finlay & Hornswoggle. The Irishmen proved to be too much for the Rated-R enthusiasts, as Hornswoggle capitalized and pinned Hawkins for the win. WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison came to ringside, but it wasnt to congratulate the pair on their win. The two tag teams will go to battle at Night of Champions, Finlay & Hornswoggle hoping to find gold at the end of the rainbow and Miz & Morrison hoping to protect theirs.
The WWE Universe got another Night of Champions preview when ECW Champion Kane & Big Show faced Mark Henry & Montel Vontavious Porter in tag team action. The three giants involved are all set to fight for the ECW Title in a Triple Threat Match at the pay-per-view, but its not hard to tell they are chomping at the bit. At the conclusion of the contest, MVP tried walking back to the locker room after struggling in the ring. Henry wouldnt have any of it, though, and he took his partner and tossed him back into the squared circle. The Ballin Superstar became the victim of a vicious chokeslam and a pin, courtesy of the Big Red Machine.
Six other competitors wanting a title taste fought it out on Friday night, as well. Maryse, Victoria & Natalya shined against Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly & Cherry. SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero has yet to make a decision about who will take on Natalya in the first ever Diva Championship Match. If Friday served as advantageous for anyone, Maryse offered up a fine performance on her way to pinning Cherry to earn her team the victory.
Rounding out the night, Vladimir Kozlov continued his dominating career, making an example of Domino in one-on-one action.
Make sure to catch Sundays action to find out if Batista will soon hold the World Heavyweight Champion. Watch Night of Champions, Sunday at 8/7 CT, only on pay-per-view.
Rey Mysterio was not happy about his move over to RAW, reports prowrestling.NET. According to their sources, Rey really liked the fact that the SmackDown! brand had more of a Latino demographic. The company also didn't inform him of which brand he was headed to ahead of time and like many of the guys who were drafted, he leaves behind many friends.
Although he should be happy about his move to Raw, prowrestling.NET reports that Batista may not have known about his move to Raw either, like many thought he might.
Triple H appears to be the only person who was told in advance about his move.
Rey Mysterio says he expects to return to the ring the first or second week in July. In a video interview with the Mirror in the U.K. published this week, Rey said he's recovered faster than expected from major bicep surgery, but he wants to feel comfortable with his condition before returning to the ring. "It seems like my recovery has been really good," Rey said, "even better than expected; an incredible recovery."
TNA WRESTLING "IMPACT!" RESULTS FOR JUNE 26, 2008 By Charles Rice
The Phenomenal AJ Styles and TNA high-flyer Consequences Creed started the night off in exciting fashion. In a match that pitted the two former training buddies against each other, there were tons of high flying moves and counters on one another. In the end it was Styles who picked up the victory after he hit the Styles Clash on Creed.
AJs night was far from over though. Just after his match ended, Jeremy Borash came down and informed Styles that Kurt was in the parking lot waiting for Karens arrival. With that, Styles took off running for the parking lot. After a commercial break cameras caught up with the Phenomenal one in the parking lot as Kurt was being held back by security from AJ and Karen. AJ then demanded that Karen stay in the locker room with him because he didnt want Kurt to get her.
Back in the iMPACT! Zone it was time for one of the nights featured contests. Brother Ray was taking on The Instant Classic Christian Cage. Before the match even began, Brother Ray said that he and Brother Devon had taken out Rhino and tonight they would do the same to Cage, promising he was going to do something that had never been done in wrestling before.
At the beginning of the match it looked like Cage was out to make Brother Ray eat his words. It was all Cage from the get go. That is until Team 3Ds sidekick Johnny Devine came out welding a kendo stick. Still, Cage was able to knock Devine out of the ring and avoid certain damage. However, this was just the distraction Brother Ray needed. Grabbing the kendo stick, he cracked it over the back of Cage causing him to go down. The match was called a disqualification but that didnt stop Brother Ray who was just getting started. Signaling to the back, he called out Brother Devon and he came out with a glass table. In one of the more gruesome scenes in wrestling history, Brother Ray with the help of Devon and Devine, power bombed Cage through the glass table. With glass shattered everywhere and Cage laid out, it looked as if Brother Ray had made good on his promise.
In the back, Borash was interviewing Nash on his big match with Booker T for later in the night. The interview didnt get very far before it was interrupted by TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Samoa Joe. Once again the champ and Nash exchange words. As the tension continued to rise between them Nash promised that he would show Joe that it is a mental game and not a physical one tonight.
It was time for Awesome Kong to continue to her open challenge to the fans. In a quick showing she made this weeks fan, Danielle, look like a rag doll as she tossed her around the ring. However, Kong was not done. Last weeks opponent Taylor had come back and she was looking for more of Kong. Climbing over the rail and into the ring, the two had to be separated by security. After which Taylor begged TNA management, Jim Cornette for a match against Raisha Saeed. Saying, if she beat Saeed she would get another chance at Kong. The ball was squarely placed in Cornettes corner and it will be interesting to see what he decides to do.
It was time for the next match in the World X Cup tournament. However, before the teams could be introduced, out came mixed martial arts fighter and TNA analyst, Frank Trigg. He went in the ring and called out AJ Styles after having been jumped from behind by him last week. In the back, Karen is telling AJ just to ignore it. AJ a man of pride would do no such thing and made his way out to the ring. Unfortunately for Karen it had all been a set up organized by Kurt. Once AJ had made his way to the ring, Trigg began climbing out of the ropes and smiling. Suddenly, cameras tuned into AJs locker room where Kurt and the Beautiful People were attacking Karen. Angelina Love and Velvet Sky shoved Karen down and gave her the brown bag special. All this was going on while Kurt was yelling at Karen for what she has done.
Now it really was time for the World X Cup match between Team Japan and Team Mexico. In a match that had everything from strength, to speed, to high flying moves, it was Team Mexico that picked up the win. They were now tied with Team TNA as all teams would head into singles action next week on iMPACT!
In the back, Lauren was interviewing Black Machismo Jay Lethal and So Cal Val. Jay was talking about how hard on him this was because Sonjay Dutt had been his best friend. To make matters worse, Val dropped a huge bomb on him saying after all that had happened she needed more time and wasnt ready to get married yet. This news came as a huge shock to Lethal.
In the ring The Guru Sonjay Dutt and his guruites had come out. Dutt got the crowd to start a set Val free chant. This is because he claimed that Jay was holding Val down and that she really loved him, the Guru. Before he could finish, Val had come out and was yelling at him about ruining her wedding. No sooner had this begun, than Lethal also came running down and began attacking Dutt. Once again Dutt escaped. Sooner or later Jay is going to get his hands on Dutt and when he does, it probablly wont be pretty.
In the back Booker T was showing off his lavish new locker room to Jeremey Borash. He then goes on to tell JB that it is because of him, Booker T, that TNA is as great as it is. He also promises to show Nash why he is better than him tonight.
In the back Tomko and Kurt are talking when Team 3D strolls up. Brother Ray proceeds to tell Kurt that he is an Olympic gold medalist and that he should be eating filet mignon and drinking champagne. Not chopped beef and 45s. He said by being with Karen he is settling for less. Brother Ray then promised to set Angle up on some blind dates next week that will put Karen to shame.
In the first ever Knockouts Bimbo Brawl, it was ODB taking on Moose. In a back and forth match that saw both ladies take tons of punishment from the many different weapons they had brought to the ring, it was Moose who picked up the win after DDTing ODB onto a steel chair.
It was now time for the big show down between Booker T and Kevin Nash. From the very start Nash was taking Booker to school. Shortly into the match, Joe came out and set up a chair at ringside. Eventually the action spilled out of the ring and Booker used that to his advantage. Having turned the tide on Nash, he went and tried to get the chair Joe was sitting in. When Joe refused to give it up, Booker shoved him to the ground and then hit him with the chair. He then uses the chair on Nash. The referee could do nothing because the match was a no DQ one. When it looked like Booker had things under control after several chair shots to Nash, Joe made his presence felt. Getting in the ring and attacking Booker he knocked him down. As Booker was getting up, Joe was setting up for a super Kick. At the last second Booker moves and Joe kicks Nash in the face accidentally. This allows Booker to get the win. After the match Booker is looking on and smiling as Nash and Joe have to be separated by security.
It is obvious that Booker is using the mental game to his advantage and that Joe is falling victim to it. Tune in next week to see what happens next as both men prepare for their Heavyweight Title match showdown at Victory Road on July 13th. If you missed iMPACT! this week dont worry. Check out the replay Saturday night on Spike TV. Check local listings for times.
The Boogeyman was backstage at this past Tuesday's SmackDown/ECW taping in his hometown of Houston, Texas. Boogeyman has been off television since early November and out of the ring since September. Just as he was starting to become more active in the ring, he went down with a calf injury. The injury has probably long since healed, but officials still have yet to bring him back.
There is talk going on regarding JBL's in-ring future. His back is still in a lot of pain (the original reason for his hiatus) and he is frustrated that he can't wrestle at the level he'd like. His back problems likely hinder his ability to train as effectively as he'd like, not to mention that he's in his forties and presumably not on anything, which is why his physique sometimes doesn't look up to par in comparison to the other wrestlers.
According to Dave Meltzer, Kurt Angle is injured yet again but this time it is not his neck. He apparently blew out his knee on the Monday tapings and had to wear a huge brace in order to work his scheduled matches for that night and Tuesday. No further information is known at this time.
-- Regarding Melina's injury on Raw this past week, there is still no official word on the matter, but it is believed that she either fractured her heel or tore ligaments in her ankle and will likely need surgery. No word yet on how long she'll be out, but it's definitely going to be at least a few weeks, if not months.
In recent months, Jim Ross had been quite vocal about changing brands in his weekly online blogs. He'd usually say that the fans probably don't care about announcers changing brands and that the moves should be reserved for the wrestlers, pretty much indicating that he wasn't too keen on leaving his position on Raw. As it turned out on Raw tonight, Ross's name came up on the TitanTron and as a result, be will be leaving the show to become the new play-by-play announcer for SmackDown. Ross was taken aback by the sudden announcement because as noted earlier, no one besides possibly the top players on the move were informed of the brand changes beforehand. Judging by J.R.'s reaction upon the announcement, he didn't look too pleased to say the least.
