In an interview with The Sun, Ted DiBiase says he would like to headline a future WrestleMania against Randy Orton. However, DiBiase said he "couldn't predict the future" on whether his dream come true.
The two third generation grapplers had a match back in July when "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase hosted an episode of Raw and booked his son in a match against Orton. DiBiase hinted he wouldn't mind facing Orton again.
"When Randy and I had the match, that was a really good reaction. I think people wanted to see Randy get his butt whipped," DiBiase said. "Headlining a WrestleMania with Randy Orton would not a bad deal. Whether we love or hate each other, are with each other or against each other, that would be a dream come true."
Backstage heat on Matt Hardy over Twitter comment?

Matt Hardy claimed that the Twitter post he made on Tuesday night (being punished because of someone elses sins) was done to fool reporters on the Internet. Hardy said on his MySpace page that he was upset because, at dinner after the show, some of the guys shorted the server on the tip and he ended up making sure the tip was satisfactory.
Dave Meltzer is reporting that, according to two different sources, there are many people who are not happy with him right now for making the post - whether it was a joke or not. with one outright saying they were extremely skeptical of his side of the story. The other source noted that they didn't believe his story and thought it was a cover-up.
In the latest twist in the Lacey Von Erich/Angelina Love controversy, the TNA newcomer is apparently backpedaling on some comments she made regarding the founding member of "The Beautiful People" in an interview published today in the Miami Herald. Von Erich has taken the situation to Twitter, writing the following on her account:
"I hope everyone enjoyed the show last night! Angelina Love was amazing in the beautiful people and I hope I do it justice! P.S. Don't believe rumors! I think Angelina will be missed in TNA and hope we can work together someday!"
It is unclear how her comments regarding Love can be considered "rumors" considering they were direct quotes from her for an article in a respected newspaper. If she is to be believed, the quotes made about Love were fabricated by the author of the Miami Herald article, Scott Fishman. Although it should be noted that there are several other quotes from Von Erich in the piece which definitely don't appear to be fabricated.
Von Erich was reportedly ordered by management to personally contact Love and apologize for her disparaging remark.
Lacey Von Erich, the newest member of the TNA roster, feels Angelina Love wasn't a good fit in "The Beautiful People" group. The third generation wrestle replaced Love as a member of the group on last night's episode of Impact.
"I feel like it was made for me, and she [Angelina] wasn't a good fit for it in my opinion," Von Erich told the Miami Herald. "I thought that everybody was going to be, `Oh no. Angelina is gone,' but not one person said that. Nobody really missed her that much. I feel like I can fill the shoes that I'm supposed to."
People in TNA have been telling her that the role in the group was made for her. "TNA told me this role was made for me, and I feel the same way," she said. So when I met the other members, Velvet and Madison ... we all just felt like we were one group, and the band was completed."
Von Erich aslso added that she had not heard good things about Love before joining the organization. "I've never met Angelina before in my life," she said. "After what some people have said, I don't know if I want to."
Elsewhere in the interview, Von Erich talks candidly about her tragic family, saying she blocked wrestling out of her mind after two of her uncles, Michael and Chris, as well as her dad, committed suicide working in the industry. However, a phone call from her uncle Kevin, the only living Von Erich brother, changed her thinking in 2007.
"He told me Vince McMahon was trying to contact me," she said. "I asked for what, and he said, `He wants you to be a wrestler. He wants you to be a diva.' I said, `What the heck is a diva?"
"I start watching the show, and I call Vince. I told him I'd check it out. He flew me out, and I went backstage at one of their Monday Night Raw events. I smelt the Bengay, and I saw the guys putting tape on like daddy did. I was just like, `Wow. This is where I want to be. It just feels right. It just feels like home."
Von Erich also feels people should cut her some slack for walking into the business considering she's gone through so much.
"I know it seems like, `Oh my god. This girl is just walking into the business and some girls just work their @#% off.' I've sacrificed so much just to get a little bit of happiness in my life," she said. "With my dad dieing, my uncles and my granddad, the tragedy I had to go through, I feel like I deserve a break, and that's where I stand on that."
It now appears that Sting is NOT expected to be retiring from pro wrestling following the Bound For Glory PPV. In fact, it's being rumored at this point that Sting may have signed on for an additional six months with TNA, and has proposed the idea of working a farewell tour that would lead to his retirement sometime next year.
It's also being reported that TNA really wants to bring Ric Flair into the company to work Sting's retirement tour, however, out of loyalty to Vince McMahon and WWE, Flair has turned down numerous offers made to him by TNA.
The Miami Herald has an interview up with TNA Knockout Velvet Sky. Here are some of the highlights:
On the success of the Knockouts division in TNA: "We've proved ourselves enough to the fans that they tune-in specifically to watch our matches. If you look around at the TNA Knockouts, each one is different. We're all different shapes, heights, sizes, races, hair colors. Each one has a different look. Each one has a different in-ring style. No one looks the same, wrestles the same, moves the same, talks the same. We have variety here in TNA. Elsewhere everyone looks the same, and everyone does the same thing."
On the Knockouts Title match at Bound For Glory in 2007: "When I came to TNA in 2007 and judging by the group of girls TNA brought in for the pay-per-view, I knew immediately we were going to be taken seriously, and we weren't going to be doing bra and panties matches or pudding, jello and whatever else was being done [in WWE]. All the girls have worked so hard in TNA. We have a good group. When the Knockouts division started, we had six or seven girls, and we've grown. In two years, there's 15, 16, 17 of us. We really worked so hard to get to where we are now -- with that many girls and a women's title and now tag team titles, too."
On the sudden departure of Angelina Love from TNA: "It came out of the blue. We did three TV tapings. She was supposed to go to [TNA's] Germany tour. The travel was booked, and the pay-per-view match was booked. It was supposed to be her and I against Sarita and Taylor Wilde. A week and a half after we finished the TV tapings is when I got the phone call, saying this is what happened. `Oh my God.' TNA reassured me that Madison and I were going to keep the group going. They weren't going to let the group die. They said we all worked so hard, and we were so good in that group. So we were excited about that. Angelina told both of us to keep it going strong. She said, `Don't let anyone or anything ruin what we built.' We won't let anyone or anything ruin what we've work so hard to build. It's not going to happen. Not on my time. That's real. I mean that."

United States Champion Kofi Kingston def. The Miz (PHOTOS | WATCH) Over the past several weeks, The Miz and Jack Swagger have both made the United States Champions life a nightmare, but on WWE Superstars, Kingston gained some momentum heading into Hell in a Cell with a win over The Miz. After controlling the early part of the match, Kofi looked to be in dire straits when the self-proclaimed Chick Magnet started focusing on one of Kingstons legs, taking out a key dimension of the champions offense. However, just when it all looked to be over for Kofi, he mustered up everything he had, nailing The Miz with Trouble in Paradise and picking up the pin.
Unfortunately, the momentum Kingston sought to gain was plucked away from him when Jack Swagger decimated the champion and The Miz during Kofis celebration. In the end, both Kingston and the self-proclaimed Chick Magnet laid incapacitated thanks to a vicious kick and a gutwrench powerbomb respectively, leaving Swagger standing tall and holding Kingstons title high above his head. With the way things have been going between these three, who will walk out of Hell in a Cell United States Champion is anybodys guess.

Shad def. Tyson Kidd (PHOTOS | WATCH) Certainly not strangers to each other in any way, Shad and Tyson Kidd faced off in a classic size-versus-speed match-up with the Brooklyn native picking up the win.
Cryme Tyme and The Hart Dynasty have gone back and forth against each other in several different battles over the past few months, with the scales not tipping significantly in either direction. Smartly, Kidd focused on his opponents leg throughout the match, leaving Shad prone to the student of the Hart Dungeons technical and speedy maneuvers. However, the powerhouse of Cryme Tyme capitalized on one miscue by his opponent, slamming him down to the mat with a devastating reverse Russian legsweep for the win. One thing is for sure, things are far from over between The Brooklyn Boys and The Hart Dynasty.
Matt Hardy posted the following on his MySpace blog:
They Prove Me Right Again
Last night, since almost every WWE personality was in Boston for The Decade Of Smackdown show, we all went out to eat after the show last night. A huge tab ended up being comped, which was very cool. Everyone was gonna leave generous tips because the meal was free obviously, and we wanted to take care of our servers. I was one of the last ones to leave, and was figuring up the tip. The tip wasn't as good as I would have liked it to have been from a couple of the guys. So I left an extremely large tip at the end before leaving. I joked and said it was a sin that I had to pay for other people's mistakes and cheapness. I bet a couple of my closest WWE friends that if I posted a tweet rephrasing the situation as "I am exhausted from being punished because of someone else's sins", that the wrestling media would pick up that comment and run with it as something completely different. Low and behold, almost every site did. It's not surprising that I won the bet, it's exactly what I anticipated happening. Just another example of how they're looking for any comment they can to translate however into hits for their site and reader views. So take it from me, don't believe everything you read-fact is rarely separated from fiction when it comes to any branch of the "media entertainment market."
- Matt Hardy, who has only been appearing on WWE Superstars as of late, wrote on his Twitter page last night that he was tired of being punished because of someone elses sins.
