Results: Answer to the challenge? By Alissa Fuhrman August 10, 2007YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio Before a capacity crowd at the Chevrolet Centre, fury and aggression dominated SmackDown Friday night, building momentum to the Biggest Party of the Summer. A fired-up Batista started things off by taking his rage out on co-WWE Tag Team Champion Domino in one-on-one action, hitting Batista Bombs to score the pinfall and to punish his opponents interfering accomplice, Deuce. A video message from World Heavyweight Champion The Great Khali then appeared, warning The Animal that he would fall victim to the Claw at SummerSlam, just like Ric Flair did on SmackDown a week before. Later that night, the Nature Boy had his mind set on revenge for that previous vicious attack attack by Khali; however, despite a valiant effort, even the 16-time World Champion couldnt stop the newest weapon in the Punjabi giants awesome arsenal. After The Great Khalis enormous hand forcefully clutched onto Flairs skull and forced him to the canvas, The Animal sprinted to his mentors aid. Amazingly, though, even The Animal seemed unable to halt the champions powerful vice-like grip, and ended up lying beside his fallen friend. Read the whole story
Inflicting pain on Matt Hardy, meanwhile, had been part of Finlays agenda Friday night, which also saw Horswoggle offering a little ringside support for the Fighting Irishman. But then the miniature Cruiserweight Champion of the Worlds fun was nearly cut short by Jamie Noble, who chased him back to the locker room area. Following right behind them and thereby giving Hardy a count-out win in the ring Finlay threatened Noble to stay away from his condensed-sized comrade. Unfortunately, in the process he accidentally knocked scalding hot coffee onto a red-hot Kane, who in return tossed Finlay onto a table, knocking him to the ground. Minutes later, Kane doled out more pain inside the ring with a vehement chokeslam on Sylvan for the victory. But then the Fighting Irishman got his payback, surprising the Big Red Monster from behind and laying him out with his shillelagh. More on this story
Our fans in Youngstown originally believed Matt Hardy might face United States Champion MVP in another challenge to prove who the better man is. But the Ballin Superstar, speaking from WWEs studios in Stamford, Conn., informed everyone of a medical condition that resulted in him losing not only last weeks Arm Wrestling Contest to Matt, but nearly his life. The Franchise Playa said he had notified SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long of his Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a potentially lethal condition that causes his heart speed up to over 250 beats per minute, yet he was still forced to compete in last weeks challenge. As a result, following the competition, he required life-threatening heart surgery that would have put normal men on the shelf for at least a year. Yet as the Ballin Superstar himself reminded our fans, he is half a man, half a-mazing, and he has been cleared by doctors to return to ring action next week, where he will challenge Hardy to a competition of his own design.
In other SmackDown ring action, Mark Henry showed no sympathy for Sterling Keenan, obliterating his opponent with ease before finishing him off in a crushing bear hug. Continuing to show our fans why no one on the SmackDown roster wants to challenge him, the self-proclaimed Silverback proudly showed more footage of his vicious assault on Undertaker last May. But the Worlds Strongest Man seemed taken aback as Druid music suddenly filled the arena, and a dark figure slowly walked away from the ring area, leaving only a trail of sand and footprints behind him.
Another surprise that had our fans erupting into cheers was the apparent return of Rey Mysterio that is, until everyone realized that it was only an unfunny prank by Chavo Guerrero. In his tasteless attempt to literally mask his contempt for his former friend, the Mysterio-clad Chavo begged himself to take it easy on him when they meet at the Biggest Party of the Summer. But there was no mercy from Guerrero during his match with Eugene, especially after his embarrassingly bad attempt at a 619 through the ropes. A frustrated Chavo pulled off the mask and took his aggravations out on his opponent Eugene, finishing him off with a Frog Splash for the three-count.
Back in the GMs office, Assistant GM Vickie Guerrero gave Long an early wedding present for himself and his fiancée, Kristal: a tiny blue pill to help the GM rise to the occasion and spice up their love life. Meanwhile, Chris Masters decided to spice up his evening with an Open Master Lock Challenge to anyone with the guts to try and break it. One intense fan claiming to be a three-time All-State football player, captain of his high school wrestling team and someone who just got out of prison for manslaughter, seemed a little too willing for The Masterpieces liking. So Masters found another member of the Chevrolet Centre crowd, then clamped on the Master Lock and shook the fan like a rag doll.
Back in the locker room area, Michelle McCool let Victoria and Kenny Dykstra know that she wasnt enjoying their excessive smooching session. Trading barbs with Michelle would only set the already unstable Diva off further when she later squared off in a match against Torrie Wilson; even after a Widows Peak and a three-count, Victoria continued pummeling away at the blonde beauty, right before our fans and Torries ringside partner, Jimmy Wang Yang. Suddenly, Michelle raced down to the ring and came to Torries aid, launching an attack that made Victoria retreat back up the SmackDown ramp. Needless to say, SmackDowns All-American Girl didnt love Victorias behavior that night but she is loving life.

Results:CM Punk breaks on through By Andrew Rote August 7, 2007
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio Fame is CM Punks for now. One week after defeating both Tommy Dreamer and Elijah Burke in a Triple Threat Match for the opportunity, CM Punk not only lasted 15 minutes in John Morrisons 15 Minutes of Fame challenge, but also managed to pin the ECW Champion. Morrison has withstood the Straightedge Superstar in two championship bouts already; is the third time a charm or a curse? (WATCH) Read more on this story
Three wasnt lucky for Stevie Richards, who fell victim to ECWs top vampire enthusiast. As the ECW Original talked to Joey Styles and Tazz about his consecutive wins, he and his winning ways were cut short when Kevin Thorn attacked him in the locker room area. Thorn fled like a bat out of hell, leaving Richards in a sea of people trying to help him recover. (WATCH)
Richards wasnt the only Superstar to experience a scary attack. Boogeyman kicked off ECW on Sci Fi with a quick victory.

Big Daddy Vs teacher, Matt Striker, looked on proudly as his pupil got revenge for being spooked by Boogeyman in the last few weeks. (WATCH)

William Jason (Jay) Reso (30 november 1973), beter bekend onder zijn ringnaam Christian, is een Canadees-Amerikaans Professioneel Worstelaar. Hij werkt momenteel voor Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Hij is een tweevoudig wereldkampioen en de eerste TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
Hij is vooral bekend om zijn tijd bij WWE gewoon als Christian. Daar maakte hij vooral furore als een lid van het team Edge en Christian. In totaal heeft hij met zijn beste vriend en kayfabe broer Edge maar liefst 7 maal de WWF/E World Tag Team Championships gewonnen.
Verder is hij ook beroemd om zijn deelname in de zogezegde Tables, Ladders and Chairs Matchen die een ongekende populariteit behouden bij de fans.
Nadien kreeg hij nog een kans bij de Un-Americans, een team samengesteld uit Lance Storm, William Regal, Test en hijzelf. Toen heeft hij ook nog eenmaal de WWE World Tag Team Championship gewonnen met Lance Storm, ironisch genoeg van zijn vroegere partner Edge en Hulk Hogan.
Kane def. Chris Masters Mark Henry def. Nate Nickerson Matt Hardy def. United States Champion MVP (Arm Wrestling Contest) Matt Hardy def. MVP (non-title match) Jamie Noble def. Shannon Moore Jimmy Wang Yang def. Kenny Dykstra Batista & Ric Flair vs. WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce & Domino (No Contest)
Results: Handing notice By Alissa Fuhrman August 3, 2007PHOENIX SmackDown kicked off on a happy note Friday night, when General Manager Theodore Long and his sexy fiancée, Kristal, announced in the ring that on September 21, they will declare their vows on the show thats changed Friday nights, and all our fans are invited to attend. But then Teddylicious and Kristal were interrupted by The Great Khali and his translator, Ranjin Singh, who stormed out to complain how his Punjabi Championship Celebration had been ruined the week before by Batista. An irate Long put his managerial foot down, ordering the giant World Heavyweight Champion to put his title on the line against The Animal at SummerSlam. So the angered 7-foot-3 monster later took his frustrations out by disrupting Batista & Ric Flairs non-title match against WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce & Domino. And the Nature Boy would feel the frightening fury of the colossal champion and his newest hand-weapon, a devastating claw to the skull. Read the full story
Determined to prove hes better than the brash and cocky Montel Vontavious Porter, Matt Hardy declared his first challenge against the United States Champion: An arm wrestling competition. Despite MVPs stalling tactics, a focused Matt eventually forced the Franchise Playas arm down on the table for the win. The aggravated hotshot claimed that hes still better than Matt because he wasnt ready, and he can still beat him where it counts: Wrestling. Yet when it looked like he might lose the intense non-title match that immediately took place, the United States Champion bailed with the gold, resulting in a count-out win for Hardy. More on this story
Frustration certainly was the recurring theme of the evening, and Jamie Nobles night proved no different. After Funaki and Shannon Moores arena hallway taunts of how Noble lost to the only Superstar shorter than him, the cruiserweight physically vented his outrage on Moore inside the squared circle, utilizing a ferocious gutbuster to score the pinfall. Shortly after the victory, Nobles worst nightmare popped out from beneath the ring. Hornswoggle, the miniature Cruiserweight Champion of the World, taunted Noble with the gold and laughed in his face before slamming it with a huge cream pie.
Former Cruiserweight Champion Chavo Guerrero had also been in a taunting mood, expressing to Vickie Guerrero how much he was looking forward to Rey Mysterios return at SummerSlam as a one-legged wrestler. SmackDowns Assistant G.M. wasnt in a laughing mood, however, so she put her nephew-in-law in equally poor humor -- by naming Chavo as Reys opponent at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
Meanwhile, Mark Henry explained to unfortunate opponent Nate Nickerson why he thinks he rules the SmackDown jungle. Vehemently taking out the local wrestler with an excruciating bear hug, Henry then showed our fans why no one has answered his open challenge to step into the ring with him, presenting footage of his vicious assault on Undertaker last May, which cost The Phenom his World Heavyweight Title and placed him on the shelf indefinitely.
In other SmackDown action, Kane a monster whos eager to accept anyones challenge squared off against Chris Masters. While The Masterpiece nearly pulled off the upset by clamping Kane in his powerful Master Lock, the Big Red Machine escaped the hold and sealed Masters fate with an emphatic chokeslam.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Wang Yang, accompanied down the ramp by Torrie Wilson, went one-on-one with Kenny Dykstra, who was joined by Victoria at ringside. After hitting his top-rope moonsault for the victory, SmackDowns resident redneck and the beautiful Diva yee-hawed all the way to the locker room area, leaving an audibly heated Dykstra and Victoria in the ring.

CM Punk def. Elijah Burke and Tommy Dreamer (Triple Threat Match)
Results:
A chance for fame
By Andrew Rote
July 31, 2007
PHOENIX John Morrison kicked off ECW on Sci Fi much like last week, barely breaking a sweat when he faced a less-than-intimidating opponent in his 15 Minutes of Fame Challenge. Things were very different afterward, however, this time around.
Tommy Dreamer and CM Punk both approached the ECW Champion, arguing that each of them could last 15 minutes in the ring with Morrison. Their cases made, Morrison announced a Triple Threat Match between the two Superstars and Elijah Burke a man he feels deserves the opportunity.
Next weeks action should prove interesting, with CM Punk earning his way into the ECW Championship picture by defeating Tommy Dreamer and Elijah Burke in the main event Triple Threat Match. CM Punk has had two golden opportunities against John Morrison, both of which fell short at Vengeance: Night of Champions and The Great American Bash. Before he can prove that the third time is a charm, though, he must last 15 minutes in the squared circle against his rival. And this will be his last chance, as he has promised never to challenge Morrison again if he fails this time around.
Also on ECW on Sci Fi, Stevie Richards silenced any of his critics who called the previous weeks win over Kevin Thorn a fluke. Getting a second consecutive win against the fanged freak raises a red flag for all Superstars on the ECW roster. While Richards moves up as one of the hottest Superstars in sports-entertainment right now, Kevin Thorn is lying in a coffin of frustrations. His expression alone showed our fans what the vampire enthusiast is feeling, losing two straight to the ECW Original after such a successful solo run. Perhaps Richards truly has staked the creature of the night.
Following Richardss big win, our fans learned that something can scare a 400-plus-pound man. After proving to be too much for even three men to handle in a Handicap Match, Big Daddy V was spooked by Boogeyman, sporting a new and scarier look, when the worm aficionado rushed into the ring. While nothing may compare to the physical stature of the heavy father figure, Boogeymans mind games certainly have been able to break Matt Strikers favorite student.
In other action, The Miz earned his second win in as many weeks when he defeated ECW Original Balls Mahoney. Once again, he showed he was the ladies man, though he lost track of Kelly Kelly for a moment, who seemed distracted by Mahoneys condition. Nevertheless, The Miz was able to get her attention away from the Chair Swinging Freak and back to him.
Dont miss what ensues with CM Punk and his latest championship opportunity Tuesday on ECW on Sci Fi at 10/9 CT.
Melina, Jillian Hall & Beth Phoenix def. Women's Champion Candice Michelle, Mickie James & Maria Intercontinental Champion Umaga def. Santino Marella (non-title) Cody Rhodes def. Daivari Mr. Kennedy def. Bobby Lashley Jerry "The King" Lawler def. King Booker (Disqualification) Cryme Tyme def. John Mason & Brandon Dentson Randy Orton def. Sgt. Slaughter Carlito def. WWE Champion John Cena (non-title)
Results: Mind games before SummerSlam By Bryan Robinson July 30, 2007TUCSON, Ariz. Less than four weeks away from the biggest party of the summer, SummerSlam, Superstars were already playing mind games with each other and appeared hell-bent on sending messages throughout the locker room and all of WWE. But Cody Rhodes may have sent the most definitive message with his first victory Monday night on Raw: I belong in WWE and I will not back down from anything, no matter what the odds are.
Cody breathed a sigh of relief and pumped his fist as he looked at the fallen body of Daivari with his blackened eye. For two weeks, our fans and especially Acting Raw GM Jonathan Coachman watched Cody valiantly try to defend the honor of his father, the American Dream Dusty Rhodes and his family against Randy Orton, only to fall victim to the RKO. And Cody watched in horror as Orton punted his father into oblivion and the Dream was taken away from the ring on a stretcher.
Coachman, noting that Cody was winless in his first two matches, gave the newcomer a simple ultimatum: win or go home. Prove that you belong in WWE and win an official spot on the Raw roster with a victory over Daivari.
The pressure on the youngest son of Dusty Rhodes was enormous. Besides having his young career already at a critical point, his ailing father who was at home in Austin, Texas, recovering from a severe concussion had to weigh on his mind. In addition, Cody may have carried some lingering guilt that he was he was responsible for his fathers injury.
However, the son of the son of a plumber showed the heart and resolve that was a hallmark in his fathers career. He overcame his personal demons and self-doubt and managed to defeat Daivari, and showed the Raw locker room that he had arrived. Also on Raw, Randy Orton, Coachmans handpicked No. 1 contender to the WWE Championship, used Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter and Carlito to send a loud and clear message to WWE Champion John Cena: Im coming for your championship and your career at SummerSlam, but before then, Im going to make your life a living hell.
On the heels of his brutal attack on the American Dream, the third-generation Superstar laid out Cena with an RKO from behind last week, drawing the line in the proverbial sand for their SummerSlam showdown.
To further show Cena that he was serious, Orton this week struck down another WWE legend, Sgt. Slaughter, the same way he has his other recent victims with a vicious skull-caving boot to the head. Read the latest on Sarge's condition here ...
But Orton wasnt finished playing with Cena as he later cost him his non-title match against Carlito. The second-generation Caribbean Superstar wanted to prove that he deserved to be the No.1 contender by defeating Cena. Ironically, Orton helped Carlito prove his point when he distracted Cena and left him vulnerable to the Caribbean Superstars Backstabber.
Carlito left Cena with chewed-up apple and spit dripping off his face. It appears that the infuriated Champ has a lot to think about, and must be wary of Orton in the weeks leading up to SummerSlam. Read the full story ...
Another Superstar Cena may have to worry about is Mr. Kennedy, who also wanted to be the No. 1 contender. Kennedy made perhaps his loudest statement yet in WWE (and thats saying something). The braggadocios Superstar, who vowed to WWE.com over the weekend that he would somehow find a way to reclaim his top spot in WWE, was granted a request to battle Bobby Lashley to show that he deserved to be the No. 1 contender to the WWE Championship. Read the full story ...
There was a fire in Kennedys booming voice and a gleam in his eyes that few of our fans and Superstars had ever seen in the Green Bay, Wis., native. The former Mr. Money in the Bank wanted to prove a point, and he sure did in his battle with Lashley. Kennedy did the unthinkable he injured the powerful former ECW Champion, who nearly ended Cenas nearly year-long championship reign at The Great American Bash.
Two rivals specifically royal rivals who failed to find a real resolution in their battle over the title King in WWE were King Booker and Jerry The King Lawler. The time for squabbling ended Monday night on Raw as Booker and Lawler attempted to once and for all settle the debate over who was true king of WWE in the squared circle. But alas, though Lawler won by disqualification after Booker refused to stop punching him in the corner, Mondays battle between these regal rulers settled nothing. Monday nights encounter assured only one thing: Booker and Lawler are far apart from a diplomatic solution to their royal war. Read the full story ...
As kings in WWE, both Booker and Lawler love law and order in their kingdoms. And so apparently, does Santino Marella as long as it benefits him. Last week on Raw, Marella had used questionable tactics to help his paramour, Maria, and Womens Champion Candice Michelle get the victory in a tag team match, but Maria made him promise never to do that again.
This week, Marella was outraged when Melina, Jillian Hall & Beth Phoenix used chicanery to defeat Maria, Candice & Mickie James. The fiery Italian berated the referee and suggested that WWE had crooked referees, like the alleged ones in the NBA. As Santinos tirade continued, Intercontinental Champion Umaga who has never forgiven or forgotten Marellas upset win for his championship months ago stomped his way to the ring. The ref, against Marellas protests, rang the bell for an impromptu match, which the Samoan Bulldozer won in devastating fashion.
One team who looked impressive this week on Raw and may be looking to send a message in the tag team division is Cryme Tyme. The duo from Harlem, N.Y., returned after weeks of absence with a win. As is typical Cryme Tyme style, Shad and JTG brought a smile to our fans faces when they made some money, money yeah, yeah! after selling one of the boots of their hapless opponents to a member of the Raw fan nation.

CAGE, TOMKO AND STYLES BLOODY STING AND ABYSS In the main event of the broadcast, it was Abyss taking on The Phenomenal AJ Styles in a No Disqualification match. However, the odds were against Abyss when Christian Cage, Tomko and Styles began to brutalize their nemesis. Sting attempted to make the save for his friend, but it was too much for Sting and Abyss. After a mysterious arm dragged Abyss under the ring, Christian and his crew annihilated Sting in the ring even slamming him into a pile of glass! When Abyss emerged from under the ring, he was a bloody mess. Cage, Tomko and Styles then smashed Abyss into his own thumbtacks! Certainly, Cage and his crew have taken the war against Sting and Abyss to a while new barbaric level of violence
TEAM 3D VS. THE STEINER BROTHERS ANNOUNCED FOR HARD JUSTICE! Also on iMPACT!, The Steiner Brothers answered the challenge by Team 3D to meet them face-to-face on the broadcast. The two legendary tag teams once again verbally bashed each other with Brother Ray calling into question Scott Steiners recent injury and Big Poppa Pump returning fire by mocking Team 3D. However, the Voodoo Kin Mafia interrupted the face-to-face, claiming there was another legendary tag team that the Steiners and 3D forgot about!

FRESNO, Calif. Indian music enveloped the Save Mart Center in Fresno Friday Night, as there was a Punjabi Championship Celebration for the new World Heavyweight Champion, The Great Khali. The giant, along with translator Ranjin Singh, plus numerous dancers and worshippers from India, partied Punjabi-style inside the ring that is, until Batista came to crash the party. The Animal who dominated earlier that evening in singles competition against WWE Tag Team Champion Deuce never took his rage-filled eyes off the 7-foot-3 monster as he challenged him to a one-on-one match for the World Heavyweight Championship. When Khali rejected his request, Batista exploded and speared the champion.
Another enraged SmackDown Superstar was Jamie Noble, who on Friday night was given another chance at the Cruiserweight Title and an opportunity for revenge against the newest and littlest champion to date, Hornswoggle. After the humiliation Hornswoggle had caused Noble at The Great American Bash, pinning him to win the title in the Cruiserweight Open, Noble was certain he would take the gold out of Hornswoggles miniature hands. But in the long run, Noble came up short again as SmackDowns leprechaun outsmarted him by winning via a count-out.
In other SmackDown action, North Carolinians Matt Hardy and Ric Flair were Ballin after defeating United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter and Chris Masters in tag team action. After the loss, MVP pointed out that since he wasnt the one who was actually pinned by Matt, he still is better than him. The frustrated Hardy then made some demands of his own, telling SmackDowns Franchise Playa to put his money where his mouth is and grant him a rematch for the United States Championship. When the hotshot champion insisted that his title was off the table, Matt proposed another challenge:
I'll name the game, and Ill beat you again and again and again and again . Ill beat you so bad, youll have to defend the United States Championship against me. And when you do, I will prove Im better than you.
Meanwhile, dressed head-to-toe in cowboy boots, tight jeans and cowboy hats, the beautiful Torrie Wilson teamed up with SmackDowns resident redneck, Jimmy Wang Yang, for intergender tag action against Victoria & Kenny Dykstra. Catapulted to victory after an impressive moonsault by Yang, the two Superstars yee-hawed all the way to the locker room area.
Even though former Cruiserweight Champion Chavo Guerrero couldnt retain his title at The Great American Bash, he still has quite a mean streak, judging from the way he handled Eugene. Despite SmackDowns wrestling savant displaying some impressive in-ring maneuvers, in the end it wasnt enough to stop the methodically malicious Guerrero from scoring the pinfall.
Kane, meanwhile, showed our fans and Dave Taylor just how much he relishes inflicting pain, defeating the brash Brit in a matter of minutes with an emphatic chokeslam. Mark Henry picked up an even quicker victory, however, by viciously destroying Joey Blalock with one of his brutal bearhugs. The self-proclaimed king of the SmackDown jungle then roared to the crowd that no Superstar on the SmackDown roster could beat him.
