Trish Stratus upset with the WWE women's division

In an interview with The Times & Transcript's Eric Lewis in Canada, Trish Stratus had this to say about the WWE Women's Division:

"It is disappointing. I think what it is, they have too many women. And I think they can't even see who's who because there's so many of them. I think they need someone maybe that can focus on the women."

Bobby Lashley arrived backstage at TNA Lockdown on Sunday night at about 10:00 PM Eastern, just moments before his debut with the company. The former ECW World Champion’s debut was kept a big secret by everyone in TNA, with his late arrival to the building being the ultimate way to prevent spoilers from leaking to the net. Lashley appeared at the top of the entrance ramp at the conclusion of the Lethal Lockdown match while everyone in the ring looked on with shock, except M.E.M. front man Kurt Angle who was smiling.

Taz issues statement regarding his WWE departure

From Taz's official Facebook page:

Yo,

Well, after leaving WWE recently, I would like to make my first public comments here on the page. I would like to thank the Pro Wrestling fan base for the support through all my years with ECW & WWE! I especially want to thank all of you on this Facebook fan page from all over the world! I try to read most of your comments and I am truly flattered on how many of you supported what I did in the real ECW and my broadcasting accomplishments in WWE. Lets face it, after my debut at MSG vs the great Kurt Angle their wasn't much for me to "hang my hat on" as a wrestler during my tenure wrestling for WWE.

Now, I want to clear up some "true & false" for all of you....

TRUE
-My contract expired the end of March and I had given my notice several weeks prior
-I ask WWE for my release to pursue other interest
-I offered to call Wrestlemania while I was not contractually obligated....and offered to call the show for free to the company.
-I have fulfilled EVERY obligation to the WWE, and pride myself on leaving the proper/professional way.
-On my way out, from Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn & Stephanie ALL treated me great...which was cool.
-I APPRECIATE all of the offers for appearances but right now I'm just doing very few appearances (if any). I'm gonna chill out and watch my kid hit baseballs.
-I am done wrestling. At 41 years old, several neck and shoulder issues...not happening. I would be a former shell of myself.
-I too have hated the extra "Z"

FALSE
-Burnout (If anything, I'm more inspired & motivated now than ever)

Hopefully that clears up some things people were saying in regards to my situation. Also, I have had the opportunity of becoming friends with so many talented & awesome people within the WWE while working there for nearly 10 years and will miss many of them! I would like to thank the writers, road & studio crew and all the talent...especially guys I have a closer friendship with.

I especially want thank three of the main play by play guys I've work with.

Joey Styles
-A dear friend whom I've been goombas with for 15 years and will stay friends with! I felt Joey never had a chance to truly be "Joey Styles" in WWE as an announce talent...that's a shame. But the announce style is completely different than anything Joey ever really did in the business....tough to adapt.

Jim Ross
-The best of the best! True Hall of Famer and a man I respect and appreciate. I cannot thank him enough for all he has taught me as an announcer...as of recent JR & I were the Smack announce team and were doing a strong job in my view....we have shared some good times on many road trips as of recent...BOOMER SOONER!! And I'm a Nebraska Husker fan (lol)

Micheal Cole
-One of my best friends...a guy that truly gave me the confidence to excel as a color commentator years ago in WWE...Cole taught me how to get over the talent, the storylines and get over the brand! He was the only one that had the balls to flat out say to me "its not about you anymore"...I respect that. Amazing work ethic, always would try to find a way for me to get over on him...zero ego & underrated!
I been hearing that Cole has been getting bashed by some on-line fans lately- check this out, if you work at McDonald's and your boss wants you to cook BicMac's...you than go and cook BIG MACS! Anyway, I look forward to working with Cole in the future in some capacity be it TV or Radio.

I want thank World Wrestling Entertainment and the McMahon Family for all the years and all the opportunities...they allowed me a great ride which I truly appreciate.

In closing, I've been in the Pro Wrestling business for 23 years and I don't plan on disappearing anytime soon.

I plan to make an impact real soon in this, the ultimate in businesses and keep it's honor....lol....sorry for crossing the line with my sophomoric humor! Survive if I let you.

FTW

Undertaker retirement update

19-04-2009 om 15:18 geschreven door jefken  

The Undertaker set to retire in 2010?

Towards the end of the WWE RAW live show last night in Dublin, Ireland, the lights went out and The Undertaker's bell went off. WWE ring announcer Tony Chimel then announced that WWE's tour of Europe next April in 2010 would be a part of The Undertaker's retirement.

It seems unusual that WWE would announce something as big as the retirement of one of their biggest stars at a live event but two different fan reports from the show say the same thing. If we hear anything else, we will definitely pass it on.

Big Show def. Jeff Hardy
Gail Kim def. Divas Champion Maryse
John Morrison def. R-Truth
Undertaker def. Shelton Benjamin
Dolph Ziggler def. United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter (non-title)
Batista def. Ted DiBiase

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – With Backlash just nine days away, emotions ran high on the first edition of SmackDown since the 2009 WWE Draft. The Animal unleashed his rage on his Backlash opponent, Ted DiBiase, while WWE Champion Triple H vowed to do the same to Randy Orton this Monday on Raw.

Batista def. Ted DiBiase (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Since making his surprise comeback on Raw, Batista has been full of pent up aggression. Tonight, it was his Backlash opponent, Ted DiBiase, who felt The Animal’s wrath. Batista dominated the first part of the match, delivering one punishing maneuver after another.

However, DiBiase was able to turn the tables and strike back, delivering targeted attacks to Batista’s leg. But, The Animal regained momentum and dropped The Legacy member with a hard-hitting spear, followed up by a thunderous Batista Bomb for the win. In just nine days, they will meet again on the battle grounds at Backlash. (Preview)

Triple H reveals Raw match stipulations (PHOTOS | WATCH)
With Randy Orton rehashing everything he’s done to WWE Champion Triple H and his family, The Game revealed the stipulations to their one-on-one match this Monday on Raw – no disqualifications and no count-outs. (Raw coverage | Backlash preview)

Big Show def. Jeff Hardy; Matt attacks Jeff (PHOTOS | WATCH)
At 485 pounds, Big Show simply crushed the high-flying Jeff Hardy. During the match, Matt Hardy came down to ringside to witness the action. While Big Show was down on all fours, Jeff seized the opportunity, using Show’s massive back as a springboard to launch himself over the ropes, toppling Matt.

In the end, Jeff was able to down his brother, but not The World’s Largest Athlete, who stopped the Charismatic Enigma cold with a brutal right hand. After the match, Matt launched a vicious and ugly attack on his brother, hitting him with seven consecutive leg drops while he lay defenseless from Big Show’s brutal assault.

Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy announced
New SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long announced that Jeff Hardy will face his brother Matt Hardy in an “I Quit” Match at Backlash. (Preview)

Undertaker def. Shelton Benjamin (PHOTOS)
Borrowing one from Undertaker’s arsenal, Shelton Benjamin attempted to deliver a Tombstone to The Deadman. The maneuver failed miserably, resulting in Benjamin being the recipient of the punishing maneuver at the hands of The Phenom. Coming off huge wins at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania and last night’s debut of “WWE Superstars,” can anyone stop The Phenom?

Dolph Ziggler def. United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter (non-title) (PHOTOS)
After being drafted to SmackDown, perhaps Dolph Ziggler felt he had to make an impression in the land of SmackDown. He did just that by defeating the United States Champion.

“The View” & MVP?
In an interesting exchange in the locker room area, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long told MVP that Sherri Shepherd of the TV program The View had taken an interest in the champion. Holla, Holla, Holla! What does Teddy have in store for the former SmackDown Superstar who was drafted to Raw?

John Morrison def. R-Truth (PHOTOS)
After The Miz assaulted John Morrison on Raw, it’s a safe bet that their tag team days are behind them. Looking to make an impression on Friday nights, The Tuesday Night Delight did not disappoint when he stopped R-Truth’s valiant attempts at a win with a Moonlight Drive.

Gail Kim def. Divas Champion Maryse (non-title) (PHOTOS | WATCH)
In a bout featuring two of WWE’s most athletic Divas, Gail Kim kept her winning ways intact by dazing Maryse with some hard-hitting counters for the pinfall.

Khali Kiss Cam (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The Great Khali was up to his romantic ways on another edition of the “Khali Kiss Cam.” The Punjabi Playboy planted a wet one on a lovely member of the WWE Universe. The next recipient of his affection? None other than Miss WrestleMania Santina Marella next week on SmackDown. This ought to be good!

Nash Calls AJ Styles The Best Athlete In Pro Wrestling


Here are some highlights from TNA star Kevin Nash’s appearance on Ring Posts Live with Kevin Eck and Nestor Aparicio Wednesday afternoon on WNST 1570 AM from Baltimore. He promoted this Sunday’s TNA Lockdown 2009 PPV.

On the next generation of TNA stars: "I think Robert Roode is a really, really talented guy. I think he's a natural babyface, although he's working heel right now. He's just solid. He's a combination of Rick Rude and Curt Hennig. He's a real good technical wrestler and everything he does is solid. Motor City Machine Guns -- I watched them do 25 minutes in the Tokyo Dome in January and was just amazed at how athletic and what an incredible pace that those two guys go. You got 'Black Machismo' Jay Lethal, a really fiery young babyface, a lot of athleticism. There's Samoa Joe. You have A.J. [Styles]. I don't think there's really a better athlete in the business right now than A.J. Some of the things he can do reminds me of Shawn [Michaels] in his peak years, as far as athleticism."

On the Main Event Mafia clicking with viewers: "Whether it's The Horsemen, the nWo, the Main Event Mafia or DeGeneration X, it always seems like a faction, especially a heel faction, seems to work. The problems the babyfaces always have is that they're always fighting amongst themselves, and you get four or five guys that have a common goal to be the deterrent to them, I think storyline-wise it's easy for a wrestling fan to go, 'OK, that doesn't insult my intelligence. Five guys beating two makes sense.' "

On TNA using veterans on top while also trying to build new stars: "A couple weeks ago, we did a thing where The Motor City Machine Guns came down and interacted with The Main Event Mafia, and I thought [Alex] Shelley came in and was brilliant on the mic. I just think that the more that we interact with them [the better]. I think the biggest problem booking-wise is that the young guys are so athletically gifted and -- I'll just use me as an example -- they have to work around me. I'm not ashamed to say it. I'll be 50 in July. You know, I'd love to pass the torch, to be that first generation of guys that makes stars. And we've got some guys that are ready."

On the staph infection in his elbow: "It looked like a gunshot wound even a month ago. It just looked the thing was never going to heal. We have a young surgeon that helps us at TNA, and about a month ago at TV he said, 'I can close that.' A week ago Thursday he surgically went in and put the thing back together. I won't be a hundred percent, but I'm definitely wrestling on Sunday."

Cactus asks Mick if he thinks it is a joke. Cactus asks Mick if the fans know that they share a lot but there are differences. Mick has no heart, no guts, and no spine.

Jack talks about an autograph session that Mick was at. Jack says that Mick did nothing as two thieves walked past.

Sting tells Mick that he believes what Mick just did. Sting tells Mick that he will not be intimidated inside the six sides of steel because it does not matter to him . . . Mick.

Mick talks about the first time Sting heard a Cactus Jack chant in Philadelphia. Sting might not have been afraid, but he had to be concerned.

It is time to run through the card for the pay per view.

Lauren is with A.J. Styles and she asks A.J. if he knows who the fourth man will be. A.J. says that he does not know what is going through Jeff’s mind because there are times when they are a team and times when he is somewhere else. A.J. says that the integrity that he used to build this company will show tonight.

Jeff Jarrett is walking down Founder’s Lane as we go to commercial.

We are back and Kurt Angle is in the ring. Jeff Jarrett comes out and he has something to say. Jeff says that he has been giving a lot of thought for the fourth member of Team Jarrett. Jarrett says that there has been some questions about where his loyalty lies. This choice will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt whose side he is on. This choice is for A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe, and the Frontline. Most of all, it is about the TNA fans. As the founder of TNA, he gets to make a lot of easy decisions and a lot of tough decisions. This was an easy decision.

TNA Impact 16.04.09

- TNA issued a second text message earlier today announcing the signing of "another former world champion from another organization."

As previously reported, a similar text message was sent during yesterday's broadcast of TNA iMPACT. The two text messages could be for the same person, but the word "another" indicates there was another signing.

It would be safe to assume that Taz is one of the signees that TNA is referring to. Unlike Ric Flair, Taz did not have a no-compete clause in his contract. Regardless of who it is, we will keep you updated.
