The fifth live Impact of TNAs summer series opened with a video package recapping the initial build-up to Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode at Destination X, plus the too-absurd-for-words Dixie Carter & A.J. Styles reveal on last weeks show.
Backstage, Dixie talked to A.J. about not being happy with how things came out last week. Styles said hes ready to move on and beat the piss out of Kazarian and Daniels tonight. Styles vowed to put the nail in the coffin for him, Dixie, and Claire.
Impact Zone: After pyro shot off in the Impact Zone, Mike Tenay and Taz plugged items for the show tonight. TNA cut backstage to show Carter and Claire Lynch walking down the hallway. According to Tenay, theyre going to tell Claires story throughout the show.
Impact Zone: Mr. Anderson came out on-stage to introduce himself for the first Bound for Glory Series match of the night. As Anderson made his way to the ring, Tenay recapped how Anderson arrived at nine BFG Series points entering tonight. Rob Van Dam came out next to face Anderson.
1 MR. ANDERSON vs. ROB VAN DAM BFG Series match
Anderson and Van Dam exchanged quick pin attempts early on before coming to a babyface vs. babyface stalemate. That was short-lived when Anderson went for a handshake, then popped RVD in the jaw with a right hand strike. RVD came back with a drop toehold into a Muta Lock looking to secure a submission victory, but Anderson reached the bottom rope for a break. RVD went for another mat submission as Tenay plugged another BFG Series match tonight Samoa Joe vs. Bully Ray.
RVD and Anderson traded blows at 4:00 before RVD executed a Northern Lights suplex for a nearfall. RVD followed with a cartwheel into a back-flip press for another nearfall. RVD tried to finish off Anderson with a split-legged moonsault, but Anderson blocked with knees to the gut for a two count. Anderson followed with a neckbreaker for another nearfall. Anderson then tried a move out of the firemans carry, but RVD countered into a crucifix pin for the three count.
WINNER: RVD at 5:53; RVD gets 7 points to get his first points of the Series. Up and down match. Some good sequences, then awkward exchanges. The mat-based wrestling was refreshing for an RVD and Anderson match, though.
Impact Zone: After a recap of the BFG Series Standings, Austin Ariess music played to bring out the X Division champion and #1 contender to the TNA World Title.
[Commercial Break...] [...Q2]
Back live, Austin Aries recapped his Big Decision in the ring with Hulk Hogan last week. Aries said his decision to relinquish the X Division Title in exchange for a TNA World Title shot was due to needing some new competition. He recapped taking Option C that the X Division champ will always get the same opportunity he received at Destination X each year. Aries said his days as X Division champion are numbered, but the question now is whats going to happen to the X Division.
Aries announced there will be a tournament at Destination X to determine the new X Division champion. He said he was backstage today and saw some old and new X Division faces. It reminded him of when he was without a contract one year ago and is now challenging for the TNA World Title one year later.
Suddenly, Bobby Roodes music interrupted to bring out the World champ. Aries offered commentary over Roodes music, annoyed with the pace Roode was taking to the ring. In the ring, Roode told Aries to take a good look at the TNA World Title belt, because its the real title. Roode said he single-handedly make this World Title the most important thing in this industry. Roode ignored Ariess back-talk before continuing that he is the most-dominant champ in TNA history.
Roode then accused Aries of only getting a title shot against him because of Hulk Hogan. He said Option C is nothing but a failure. Roode ignored various chants and noise from the crowd before noting that he will make sure Aries fails at Destination X. He looked down at him and said Aries isnt even in his league before telling the kid to get out of his ring. Aries asked Roode what if he thinks this is his ring. Aries told Roode to make him leave the ring. The jackets came off, then the shirts. Roode smiled as Aries told him to bring it. Instead, Roode grabbed his title belt and left the ring, telling Aries that hes not worthy.
Replay: Tenay threw to a video package recap of the too-absurd-for-words A.J./Dixie reveal with Claire Lynch telling part of her story.
Backstage: A roving cameraman asked Claire and Dixie in the hallway how they met. Claire said they have a mutual friend and met at a party. Claire said things got bad when Daniels and Kaz got a piece of information and twisted the story.
Backstage: Daniels and Kaz were spied on in the locker room. Kaz screamed at Daniels for making him do awful things for six months after buying into Danielss b.s. Kaz stomped off, leaving Daniels frustrated because they have a Tag Title re-match tonight.
[Commercial Break]
[Q3] Impact Zone: Sonjay Dutts music played to bring out a returning, bald-headed Dutt for a qualifying match to determine who enters the X Division Title tournament. Tenay said three matches will occur tonight and one more next week. Out to face Dutt was Jigsaw, who was billed as Rubix. Quite the stretch on the name.
2 SONJAY DUTT vs. RUBIX X Division Title tournament qualifying match
Close nearfall at 1:50 when Dutt spring-boarded into a splash. Dutt then measured Rubix for a neckbreaker, but Rubix came back with an enziguiri into a bridge suplex for a two count. Dutt came back with a spike DDT for coming off the top with a moonsault into a double foot stomp. Unique spot. Dutt with the pin for the win. After the match, Christy Hemme interviewed Dutt about being back in the Impact Zone. Dutt said hes here for one thing only: become X Division champion for the first time.
WINNER: Dutt at 3:13. Good to see Dutt back in TNA. But, not enough time to showcase Jigsaw if they plan to use him beyond this one booking.
Up Next: Taz, Bruce Prichard, and Al Snow debate Taeler Hendrix in a Gut Check segment.
[Commercial Break]
Last Thursday: Prichard, Snow, and Taz walked into a trailer to discuss the Gut Check match between Tara and Taeler Hendrix last week. Taz asked Prichard if hes looking for someone with potential or being game-ready. Taz said some of these people already have a sense of entitlement, and he doesnt sense it with Hendrix. Snow and Taz acted torn about whether to hire her, while Prichard remained stuck in the middle. Definitely an improvement not breaking kayfabe as much as in the previous two Gut Check segments.
Impact Zone: Bully Ray came out to the ring for the second BFG Series match tonight. Tenay noted Joseph Park is not in the building tonight after Ray lectured him last week. Ray flashed his calves to the hard camera before they cut to break.
[Q4] [Commercial Break]
Impact Zone: Back live, Samoa Joes music played to bring out Joe to a strong reaction. Tenay told viewers not to under-estimate Joe in the BFG Series tournament because of his submission background to earn extra points for a submission win.
3 SAMOA JOE vs. BULLY RAY BFG Series match
Once the bell sounded, Ray argued with ref Earl Hebner before trash-talking Joe. Ray claimed Joe is afraid of him, so Joe backed Bully all the way to the corner. Ray continued to duck under the ropes to avoid locking up, drawing boos. Ray did it a third time as Tenay noted the BFG PPV location will be revealed next week on Impact. Joe eventually got his hands on Ray for a side headlock. The two bulls collided mid-ring before Ray knocked down Joe with a back elbow. Joe came back with left hand jabs before Ray raked the eyes. Ray followed with a big suplex taking Joe to the mat for a two count. At 3:15, TNA cut to break with Ray in control.
[Commercial Break]
Back live, Joe blasted away at Ray with corner blows before running into a discus clothesline from Bully. Joe sold on the mat before Ray blasted him across the chest with multiple chops to the chest. Joe, fired up, came back with forearm blows before they double clotheslined center-ring. Ray tried to drape an arm across Joe to steal a pin, but Joe kicked out. Tenay noted going into this match that he thought each mans tempers (he did not refer to Joe as having a Samoan temper) could be a factor in this match. Ray continued the wear-down process, remaining one step ahead of Joe.
[Q5 -- second hour] Ray stalked Joe in the corner, then landed more offense to Joes injured left shoulder. Tenay noted Rays strategy is evident trying to avoid submission moves from Joe. The match passed the old 10-minute time limit with Joe on the floor trying to get some feeling back in his arm. Back in the ring, Ray went for a running splash, but Joe rolled out of the way. Joe then landed an atomic drop into a big boot to the face into a back-splash for a close two count.
Next, Joe tried more jabs, but Ray ducked a third blow and hit Rock Bottom for a close two count. Ray then tried a flying splash from the second rope, but Joe moved and Ray rolled to the outside. On the floor, Ray blasted Joe with a running boot to the face to deck him. Ray then entered the ring to try to get a count-out. But, suddenly, Joseph Park stomped down from the backstage area to the ring. Park stood on the ring apron, then slapped Ray across the face. Suddenly, Joe snuck in behind Ray and applied a rear-naked choke for a tap-out victory.
WINNER: Joe at 12:59 to receive 10 points; Joe up to 27 points. Nice big-man match.
Post-match: Park took the mic and asked Ray if he knows who he is. Park told Bully that hes nothing more than a jackass bully. Ray ignored him, still selling the effects of the match. Park said hes been bullied his entire life and it ends right here, right now. He noted this is no longer about his brother, Abyss, but about the two of them. Park paused for a You Tapped Out chant aimed at Ray before noting he has watched Ray bully everyone for too long. He said he and the fans are sick of it. Park requested two weeks to get ready before fighting Ray in the ring again. This time, hes bringing the fight right to Ray. He told Ray to give him an answer.
Announcers: Tenay and Taz noted Daniels tampered with the audio of a phone call between A.J. Styles and Dixie Carter planning a surprise birthday party.
Backstage: More of Claire and Dixie in the hallway. The roving cameraman asked Dixie to clear up the picture. She said A.J. told her how bad things are with Claire. Claire said she cant believe Daniels turned something so pure into something so scandalous. Dixie had more answers on Styles bringing her to a hotel room to see Claire recovering from addiction. She noted a lot of effort went into turning this into an affair between A.J. and Dixie. The cameraman asked a final question about whether Claire was at the surprise birthday party for Serge. She said she wasnt; Dixie said because she wasnt doing well in her recovery at the time.
Backstage: Kaz was in Hulk Hogans office telling Hogan that he listened to Danielss lies for six months. Kaz claimed he had nothing to do with Danielss lies, and he cant team with the guy tonight for the Tag Title match. Hogan asked Kaz to own up to lying in the bed Daniels made. Hogan gave Kaz the father-to-son-on-drugs talk about giving into peer pressure. Hogan told Kaz that if hes accountable, then he better prove it tonight by starting fresh showing who he really is. Hogan said he already booked the Tag Title match tonight, so theyre going to find out what hes made of. Kaz, frustrated, stomped off, unhappy with Hogan blowing him off.
[Commercial Break]
[Q6] Backstage: Madison Rayne was shown walking up to Garett Bischoff, who was sporting a bowling shirt. Garett tried to ignore her as he texted away on his phone. Madison then tried to get out the words about her secret crush before asking what hes like. She whispered it in his ear, then Garett pulled away and told her good luck with that.
Backstage: Brooke Hogan showed Miss Tessmacher that she got her a campaign with Direct Auto. Gail Kim walked into the shot and said its fitting: cheap rates and cheap girls. Tessmacher shot back at her before Gail tried to talk business. Gail told Brooke she wants the re-match, which Tessmacher jumped at the chance to have. Brooke told Gail that her re-match is coming its next week.
Impact Zone: Rashad Cameron, with a bandana over his afro, came out for the next X Division qualifying match. PWG regular/long-time So Cal wrestler Scorpio Sky, going by Mason Andrews, came out next. Rashad jumped Scorpio before the match to start things.
4 MASON ANDREWS vs. RASHAD CAMERON
Late in the match, Rashad missed a top-rope moonsault, then accepted a kick to the chest. Scorpio built some momentum, then delivered a cross-body for a two count. Cameron then knocked Scorpio to the outside before landing a big flip-dive on the outside. Back in the ring, Cameron measured Scorpio for a top-rope move, but Scorpio flew onto the top turnbuckle for a body scissors press for a nearfall. Scorpio then ate the corner turnbuckle with a dropkick to the back before Cameron nailed Paydirt for the pin and the win.
Post-match: Christy Hemme asked Rashad how it feels to advance to Destination X. Cameron said everyone out there in TV Land is looking at the next X Division champion. He said the Impact Zone just witnessed the beginning of the Rashad Cameron Movement.
WINNER: Cameron at 4:06. Scorpio looked a bit nervous and uncomfortable early on before settling into a good final few minutes with Cameron, who has an impressive look and carries himself like a star. Solid action.
Backstage: Speaking of nervous, TNA showed Taeler Hendrix standing backstage awaiting her fate in the Gut Check voting.
[Commercial Break]
Back from break, Hogan was on the phone while James Storm and Jeff Hardy were in the ring. Hogan said the deal with Sting is hes good, but not good enough yet. He said they still dont know who took out Sting two weeks ago. Changing subjects, Storm said hes back and ready. Hogan said he has questions about him every week, though, after he walked away a few months ago. Hogan then asked Jeff Hardy what got into him. He told them that since theyre his top racehorses, theyre going to face each other in a BFG Series match next week.
[Q7] Impact Zone: Jeremy Borash was in the ring with Taz, Al Snow, and Prichard. Cue up the dramatic music and overly-serious poses. After introducing the judges, JB introduced Taeler Hendrix to receive her evaluation. Taeler came to the ring before JB asked the judges if they have seen enough to render a decision. JB then asked Taeler if she has showed her best thus far in TNA. She said she has, then JB went to the judges for an evaluation. Meanwhile, the Impact Zone crowd chanted, Yes! Yes! Yes! Taz voted yes.
As Al Snow was about to give his decision, they showed Joey Ryan in the crowd screaming at the judges. Joey screamed at Taz, who left the ring, to hit him. Snow then screamed at Joey to leave. Joey leaned over the guardrail telling Taz that if hes such a badass, then he should hit him. Security eventually took Joey away before the judges returned to the ring. (What a difference a year makes with Joey Ryan and Scorpio Sky on the same national TV show one year after being plants reacting to Mark Henry and Sheamus crashing through a barricade at Summerslam in Los Angeles.)
Back in the ring, Snow said he knows Taeler has potential, but he doesnt think shes ready for an Impact roster spot. Taeler was given the mic to state her case, and said she will fight to stay here and earn a roster spot. She said she wants it and she will prove that she can shine. The crowd applauded, then JB asked Prichard to give his vote. Prichard said he likes her. I dont love you, but I like you, he said. Prichard did the dejection set-up, said hes not sure if shes Tough Enough, and said shes not experienced, but said unlike the jerk who came out here a moment ago, the answer is yes.
Backstage: Kurt Angle talked to A.J. Styles about the real A.J. being back. A.J. said the weight is off his shoulders and he has Daniels one-on-one in a Last Man Standing match at Destination X. Angle made sure his focus is on tonight with the Tag Titles on the line in the main event. Angle told A.J. just to give it their best and theyll win.
[Commercial Break]
Back live, Tenay recapped the BFG Series standings, which is top-heavy with Storm at 36 points, Joe with 27 points, and Angle still with 10 points. Next week: Storm vs. Hardy in a BFG Series match. Also, next week, Chris Sabin will address his knee injury from two weeks ago.
Ringside: Dixie Carter and Claire Lynch were shown ringside. Tenay editorialized that Claire connected all the dots with her explanations tonight. In the ring, Hemme introduced Daniels and Kazarian, who walked right past Daniels to the ring.
[Q8] Kurt Angles music played to bring out one-half of the tag champions. Angle, all-smiles, jogged to the ring and did a victory lap before hitting the ring. A.J. Styles was out next motivated to whoop some butt, as Taz noted. Ringside, Dixie and Claire were all-smiles.
5 TNA tag champions A.J. STYLES & KURT ANGLE vs. DANIELS & KAZARIAN TNA Tag Title match
Kaz said he would start the match, then Styles grabbed him around the throat to start the match. Styles kicked Kaz in the back before throwing him into the tag champs corner to tag in Angle. For some reason, the crowd started a slow-clap despite the face champs in control. Daniels then tagged in and Angle blasted him in the corner before Daniels caught him on the other side of the ring. Daniels tried to bring in Kaz for offense, but Kaz acted uninterested. So, Daniels tagged himself back into the match. Styles and Daniels took their fight to the outside, where Styles slammed Daniels across the ring apron in front of Dixie and Claire. Daniels, frustrated, begged Kaz to help him, but Kaz continued to act disinterested.
[Commercial Break]
Back live, Daniels had Styles in a side headlock trying to wear down one-half of the tag champs. Daniels then dropped Styles with an STO for a two count. Meanwhile, Tenay recapped Storm vs. Hardy next week on Impact. Angle then made a tag into the match, so Daniels bailed to the outside. Kaz tried to put up a valiant effort against Angle, but Angle nailed him with three German Suplexes. Angle dropped the straps, then dropped Daniels with three Germans. Angle then tried an Angle Slam, but Kaz countered into a modified Ace Crusher for a close nearfall.
Kaz wanted Fade to Black, but Angle rolled into the anklelock. Kaz fought off, then Styles tagged in for Angle and smashed Kaz, who tagged out to Daniels. Styles smashed Daniels, then both men collided mid-ring. Breather time with all four men on the mat followinf the sequence. After a reset, the ref was bumped to the floor. With the ref down, Daniels retrieved a chair and tried to smash Styles, but Kaz grabbed the chair from Daniels. After Styles dropped Daniels with a Pele Kick, Kaz flipped off Daniels, then left the ring. Styles grappled Daniels for the Clash, but Kaz re-entered the ring with chair in-hand and cracked it across Styles. Well, kind of. Kaz then dragged the ref into the ring and he counted to three, rendering new tag champs.
WINNERS: Daniels & Kaz at 11:47 to capture the Tag Titles.
Post-match: Kaz and Daniels hugged to re-affirm their tag team commitment. Daniels took the mic and proclaimed themselves TNA Tag Champs. Daniels then turned his attention to Dixie, telling her there is plenty of reason to be happy. He said Claire told the truth, but not the whole truth. Daniels said Claire is pregnant, but the bastards daddy is A.J. Styles. What are you kidding me?! Dixie screamed. Claire sat down in her chair as Daniels said the baby will surely be phenomenal. Dixie again offered an empty threat that Daniels is so finished. They signed off with Dixie pointing her finger at Daniels while Claire sold tears sitting in her seat, neither confirming nor denying the allegation.
-- After being released from his TNA contract earlier this month, we can confirm
that Flair's contract had a non-compete clause and he is currently unable to
sign with WWE. No word yet on how long he is prohibited from signing with
WWE.
During the court proceedings of the ongoing TNA vs. WWE lawsuit, WWE
told the court that they have no interest in signing Flair, but most believe
he'll be back in WWE at some point.
Another Wrestler Says Cena Was Unfaithful To Wife Posted by Andy Steven on 06/27/2012 at 01:56 PM
Another wrestler has come forward with claims that John Cena was unfaithful to his wife. Kris Katera, who worked with WWE as enhancement talent Chris Wellman and an extra from 2006 to 2010, vouches for Kenn Doanes allegations toward the Cenation leader.
I worked with WWE on and off from 2006-2010 and can back up most everything you say about Cena and his cheating ways man! he tweeted to Doane on Wednesday.
Doane, who labored as Kenny of the Spirit Squad and Kenny Dykstra for WWE from 2006 to 2008, blames an affair between Cena and Mickie James for ruining his relationship with the former Diva and ultimately costing him his job.
In response to a fan tweet that Cenas a good hearted person, Katera wrote, Cheating multiple times with different women while on the road when his wife was at home unaware not cool!
Katera says Cena would often discuss his sexual escapades with Jonathan Coachman, who worked for the organization as an announcer through 2008.
Constant talking about hooking up with this chick or that chick, Katera says of Cena. Him and Jonathan Coachman were always talking about it!
Cenas estranged wife Elizabeth Huberdeau is convinced the WWE Superstar was unfaithful during their marriage and is now on a mission to prove it in court. Her attorney Raymond Rafool told TMZ.com last week theyve been receiving tips of Cenas extramarital affairs which, if proven true, could affect their prenuptial agreement and the terms of their pending divorce.
Sid Responds to Reby Sky, Reby Responds to Sunny Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/27/2012 at 07:21 AM
- We noted before that Matt Hardy's girlfriend Reby Sky spoke out about WWE Legend Psycho Sid returning to RAW this past Monday night after he no-showed independent wrestling events recently. Here is what Sky wrote:
"That piece of sh*t Sid no-shows almost EVERY show in the last yr but prances onto Raw. Please tell us again how much u LOVE "the business""
"Guess he managed not to "lose his wallet" this time. Sad thing is, now that he got 10 more mins of fame he'll get more bookings to NO-SHOW."
"F*CK people like that. You f*ck with peoples' time, money & professional integrity because you're too much of a douche to keep your word"
"I'm all for hustlin, but BLACKMAILING promotors into giving you more $ after threatening not to show then STILL not showing after they do... Makes me sick. "
This brought out WWE Hall of Famer Sunny, who lashed out at Sky:
"WOW! Just read something about Reby Sky, who is only known for being Matt Hardys girlfriend going off about my good friend Sid Vicious Like she has room to talk? Who is she? NO ONE! And she was completely disrespectful to the locker room at a show I was on with her OOOHH just WAIT til I see her again..sh*ts gonna fly! One thing I've always stood by, you always show respect for those who have seniority in this business.. she's too dumb and ignorant to know that. I was raised Old-school by the right people, and she deserves an Old school ass whipping.... she disrespected me and the entire locker room on the show I was on with Matt... I'll never say I was on a show with HER. Matt and I have been friends for years....I'm surprised she hasn't learned a little bit. Regardless if he no-shows or not, someone like her has no right to disrespect someone like him! Sid likes to play his softball...everyone knows it."
Former WWE and TNA wrestler Shannon Moore, who is a known friend of Matt Hardy, agreed with Sunny and chimed in:
"Sid is great. He worked with 3 Count in WCW and worked hard. If you have been in the biz for 3 min your opinion don't fn count. Thanks Sid!!"
"Why do people that have done nothing in the biz want to trash legends. Karma is a bitch.Shut up if you trying to actually make it !"
"@WWEHOFerSunny You proved your point and made a big impact for the chicks.They have no clue what being a Pro is."
Sky replied to Sunny late last night via Facebook:
"So the fact that I don't agree with how someone conducts themselves professionally gives another a right to threaten me ? Everyone has a "Sunny story", but no one can ever say I'm anything but professional & respectful to everyone I've ever worked with / beside ... unless they're mad. YOU MAD ?
In any case, I believe I owe you a thank you, Sunny, as I was recently offered a movie role that was written for you - but since you were too unreliable - was passed on to me. Perhaps if you weren't more concerned with doing things that landed you in H*zelden that would have never happened, but I guess reliability isn't a priority for you. Or Sid.
It's a small world, and if you're that anxious to see me again I'm sure there are plenty out there who would be more than happy to arrange that. If you can manage to show up, that is."
Finally, Sid exchanged friendly comments with Sunny on Twitter and wrote:
"Reby Sky can say whatever she wants. I don't mind. Since when has her opinion on me mattered?I'm not going argue or stoop to her level.Sorry"
"@WWEHOFerSunny Do not worry about her. Not worth out time. Thank you though. Thank you and I understand. Doesn't matter what people say though. I loved being on RAW. Bottom line."
Sunny Calls Out Reby Sky For Ripping Sid Vicious Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/27/2012 at 07:03 AM
WWE Hall of Famer Tammy "Sunny" Sytch has called out Reby Sky for blasting "Sycho" Sid Vicious via Twitter. The wrestler/glamour model voiced her displeasure with Sid receiving the spotlight again on Monday's Raw SuperShow after no-showing multiple independent wrestling events in the past year.
In response to Sky's remarks, Sytch wrote on Facebook Tuesday evening, "WOW! Just read something about Reby Sky, who is only known for being Matt Hardys girlfriend going off about my good friend Sid Vicious Like she has room to talk? Who is she? NO ONE! And she was completely disrespectful to the locker room at a show I was on with her OOOHH just WAIT til I see her again..sh*ts gonna fly!"
She continued, "One thing I've always stood by, you always show respect for those who have seniority in this business.. she's too dumb and ignorant to know that.
"I was raised Old-school by the right people, and she deserves an Old school ass whipping.... she disrespected me and the entire locker room on the show I was on with Matt... I'll never say I was on a show with HER. Matt and I have been friends for years....I'm surprised she hasn't learned a little bit."
Sytch also addressed Sid's history of no-showing events, writing, "Regardless if he no-shows or not, someone like her has no right to disrespect someone like him! Sid likes to play his softball...everyone knows it."
Shannon Moore also defended "The Millennium Man's" work ethic. He wrote Tuesday night on Twitter, "Sid is great. He worked with 3 Count in WCW and worked hard. If you have been in the biz for 3 min your opinion don't fn count. Thanks Sid!!"
Sky said of Sid Monday night, "That piece of sh*t Sid no-shows almost EVERY show in the last yr but prances onto Raw. Please tell us again how much u LOVE "the business." Guess he managed not to "lose his wallet" this time. Sad thing is, now that he got 10 more mins of fame he'll get more bookings to NO-SHOW."

Reby Sky Goes Off On Sid's Raw Appearance Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/27/2012 at 07:02 AM
Monday's Raw SuperShow saw "Sycho" Sid Vicious make his much anticipated return to WWE after a fifteen year hiatus as he dismantled Heath Slater. Though many people were happy to see the "Master and Ruler of the World" resurface on national television, Reby Sky was not among them. The female grappler feels he doesn't deserve the spotlight after no-showing multiple independent events in the past year.
"That piece of sh*t Sid no-shows almost EVERY show in the last yr but prances onto Raw. Please tell us again how much u LOVE "the business," she wrote on Twitter after seeing him appear on television. "Guess he managed not to "lose his wallet" this time. Sad thing is, now that he got 10 more mins of fame he'll get more bookings to NO-SHOW."
Sky continued, "F*CK people like that. You f*ck with peoples' time, money & professional integrity because you're too much of a douche to keep your word.
"I'm all for hustlin, but BLACKMAILING promotors into giving you more $ after threatening not to show then STILL not showing after they do...
"Makes me sick. ."
Vicious skipped an advertised match against Sky's boyfriend Matt Hardy for Pro Wrestling Syndicate on March 9, explaining that his wallet was stolen and therefore couldn't make his scheduled flight. In response, event promoter Pat Buck called Vicious during the show and had the audience boo him while leaving a voice message. Buck then disclosed Vicious' phone number to fans.
Maria Kanellis Upset With Being Groped By Fan Posted by Andy Steven on 06/26/2012 at 02:51 PM
Maria Kanellis was displeased with being groped by a spectator at Saturday's Ring of Honor Best in the World 2012 event in New York City. Following the event, she tweeted, "Thank you New York for coming to see Mike Bennett and myself. But the guy in the front row that grabbed my bum, I will have you thrown out next time. You are a pervert!!"
The former WWE Diva continued, "I am not to be touched, ever, by a fan weather I am working or not. It's gross. I am not a toy. You pay to watch, so watch. Don't touch. The only person that can touch is Mike Bennett. From now on you will get thrown out. thank you..."
Kanellis was asked late last night whether she misses WWE. She responded, "I'm the FIRST LADY in the greatest company in the world. No I don't. I'm all grown up." Hours later, she was made today's spotlighted Superstar on WWE.com. She then wrote, "Thank you for the spotlight... WWE.com. A LADY deserves the spotlight..."
Ric Flair Assaulted by Wife Again on Monday Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/26/2012 at 12:11 PM
According to a report by WCNC in North Carolina, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police were called to the condo of Ric Flair and his wife Jacqueline Bains Beems around 9:40PM yesterday after Beems assaulted Flair. Neither Flair or Jacqueline were arrested or hospitalized.
Beems was arrested for punching Flair in the face back in 2010 at their home and charged with assault. The district attorney later dropped those charges. Beems was also arrested and charged with DWI and reckless driving on March 31, 2012.
There continues to be a lot of
praise within TNA for World Heavyweight Champion Bobby Roode.
One person
noted that while Austin Aries is a polarizing figure in the company - loved by
those in charged [sic], liked personally by a lot of the talents but also
disliked by many and also a person that some people don't like having matches
with for various reasons - Roode is the opposite in that all of the wrestlers
not only like him personally but they love working with him in the ring. The TNA
writing team is also high on Roode, particularly head writer Bruce
Prichard.
According to PWTorch, the reason we
haven't seen Alex Silva since he won the TNA Gutcheck and was hired by the
company is that he's up in Canada sorting out his work visa.
Tonights WWE RAW Supershow kicks off with the normal intro video. We get a vignette looking at AJ Lees involvement in the feud between CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and Kane.
- AJ is backstage with what appears to be Daniel Bryan, Kane and CM Punk. Shes asked them here. She tells Bryan theyre going to have to drift apart. She says she loses all inhibitions when she sees Kane and just wants to get wild. AJ says she would like to be soul mates with Punk but she isnt sure what hes thinking. AJ says its best if they all go their separate ways. The camera moves and we see she was just talking to herself in a mirror, rehearsing. We cut to the RAW opening video.
- Were live from Fort Wayne, Indiana as the pyro goes off and Michael Cole welcomes us. He and Jerry Lawler hype tonights show and a singles match with Brodus Clay and Big Show. Also tonight, John Cenas big announcement.
- We go to the stage and out comes Vickie Guerrero, tonights General Manager. Vickie is excited about tonight and has a Triple Threat Elimination Match up first.
Triple Threat Elimination Match: Daniel Bryan vs. Kane vs. CM Punk
We go to the ring and out first comes Daniel Bryan. Kane is out next followed by the WWE Champion CM Punk to a big pop.

Doane Says Cena Had An Affair With A Married Diva Posted by Andy Steven on 06/24/2012 at 06:39 PM
Kenn Doane, who appeared as Kenny of the Spirit Squad and Kenny Dykstra for WWE from 2006 to 2008, blames an affair between John Cena and Mickie James for ruining his relationship with the former Diva and costing him his job. Speaking to SEScoops.com on the ordeal, Doane reveals that Cena was having a second affair with a then-WWE Diva who was married to a man not involved with the professional wrestling industry.
Doane says he discovered James had been cheating on him with the Cenation leader when he caught her searching online rumors of her act of infidelity with the query Mickie James dating John Cena.
Upon confronting her about it, She stared at [the computer] for like legit two minutes and Im looking at her like Did you forget how to read? Say something, WTF. She got up and ran into the other room crying saying she was sorry and she felt bad and admitted to it.
While recalling the matter, Doane says Cena was having an affair with a second WWE Diva.
I dont have Johns number so I call his diva road girlfriend. I ask her if she knows anything about it and she says she had a feeling because John recently dumped her and she is over him now, Doane says.
Cenas sexual escapades were not solely limited to WWE Divas as he was simultaneously involved with ring rats. Doane details, Got one diva who is married to a guy outside of the business but she sleeps with Cena, then we got Cena who sleeps with rats (groupies, girls not in the biz, girls in the lobby waiting for an invite upstairs) and this married diva, and now my girlfriend.
Following weeks of inactivity stemming from the affair, Doane was transferred to the SmackDown brand on June 17, 2007, as part of the WWE Supplemental Draft. Doane reveals that the married Diva was transferred from Raw to SmackDown as well after being dumped by Cena.
Following weeks Im off TV and off the road until I get sent to SmackDown. Ironically, Johns former Diva got sent too, Doane recalls. So now were on complete separate schedules and when there is a joint pay-per-view Im off the road that day too and get flown in on a Monday for a Tuesday Smackdown. Yeah complete B.S. I get jobbed out then they take me off the road more and fire me.
Two WWE Divas transferred from Raw to SmackDown in the 2007 WWE Supplemental Draftand the entire yearTorrie Wilson and Victoria. Wilson was in the process of divorcing Billy Kidman. Victoria has been married to a man not affiliated with the professional wrestling industry since 1998, matching Doanes claim.
On November 10, 2008, WWE announced Doane had been released from his contract. While discussing his termination with John Laurinaitis, he was informed that his decision to speak publicly on Cena and James affair will determine whether WWE offers him employment again in the future.
When Johnny Ace called me to fire me I asked him if this is why Im getting fired, Doane recalls. He told me we dont have anything for you and depending on whether you choose to discuss this issue will determine on if your allowed to come back in the future.
Doane ultimately concludes that he wants to be open and honest.
Going forward I have no reason but to speak the truth and to make all this up would be absolutely insane. Im not saying you have to believe anything I say but that is the truth, he says. WWE portrays Cena as this big hero and savior to all of us but truth be told that is a character he plays much like me as a cheerleader. When watching wrestling, know youre watching a show and not real life situations or scenarios. We are basically live comic books brought to life and make short action movies for you to enjoy.
More Details on Hall's No-Show at nWo Reunion Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/24/2012 at 08:58 AM

Reports indicate that Hall told promoters that he missed his flight on two separate occasions.
Hall was scheduled to arrive at the event around 1PM for a photo session with the nWo. There was a photo op with the nWo for $160 set for 1:00PM and then an Outsiders photo op for $65 scheduled for 1:30PM. Hall was then scheduled to sign autographs from 2-3PM ($20 for his autograph and $20 for a photo with him). Promoters at the event were telling fans that Scott had missed his flight and that the photo op with the nWo was now going to be $100. Fans were also told that Hall would be arriving around 6PM due to a re-booking of his original flight.
Nash later came out and took the blame, saying he was the one who convinced the promoters to book Hall, saying that he believed he would be able to get Hall to show up. At around 4:30PM, Kevin Nash told fans still waiting to see Scott Hall that he had missed his second flight.
