At this point, all flights out of the United Kingdom are currently grounded until at least 7:00 AM tomorrow due to the lingering Icelandic volcanic ash. WWE is in jeopardy of not getting all of their wrestlers back to the United States for Monday's RAW in East Rutherford, NJ. WWE is trying to get the bigger names out of the UK for Monday's show, which is the final episode before Extreme Rules. The company plans on booking a charter flight in the event they can't get everyone out for the show.
Matt Hardy comments on his arm injury Posted by Chris Kaufman on 04/15/2010 at 10:18 PM
Matt Hardy commented on the diagnosis of his arm injury on Twitter. He wrote:
"Thx 4 the well wishes on my arm injury, all are much appreciated! My bicep & shoulder muscles are deeply bruised & strained, but not torn. Haven't missed any of my matches or appearances, nor will I on this tour. I'm working in pain, but attempting to work as smart as possible."
Shelly Martinez, who performed as Salinas in TNA Wrestling in 2008, recently inquired about getting her job back with the organization. According to company sources, they have not dismissed her as she's currently being considered for an on-screen role.
The former WWE Diva gave her notice to the company in September 2008 when she reportedly booked a role in an Italian film that would have conflicted with her TNA schedule. She was said to have offered to give up the film role if TNA would give her a pay raise. However, they refused, so she gave her notice and parted ways with the company.
Matt Hardy def. Carlito Christian def. Chavo Guerrero Ted DiBiase def. MVP
Ted DiBiase and MVP might have more in common than theyd like to admit. Each man likes money, each man likes to win and each man tries to look good while doing it. But its in how these Superstars go about achieving victory that the differences start to reveal themselves. MVP is a passionate athlete the product of a difficult upbringing who knows the value of hard work. DiBiase is an underhanded cheat the son of a millionaire who had everything handed to him on a silver platter. But who would win when they stepped into the ring on WWE Superstars?

Ted DiBiase def. MVP (PHOTOS | VIDEOS) Ever since he strapped his fathers legendary Million Dollar Championship around his waist, Ted DiBiase has been competing with a newfound edge in WWE. This shot of confidence served him well in the main event of tonights WWE Superstars when he went one-on-one with the always-exciting MVP. While each Superstar has talent to spare, it was DiBiases underhanded tactics that won out tonight as he hit The Ballin Superstar with Dream Street to pick up a big victory.
Christian def. Chavo Guerrero (PHOTOS | VIDEOS) Few NXT Pros and Rookies have clicked as well as the duo of Christian and Heath Slater. Maybe thats because Captain Charisma is such a shining example of what a WWE Superstar should be that his Rookie cant help but be impressed. The Raw Superstar continued to impress tonight as he handed yet another defeat to Chavo Guerrero. With all these recent losses, the self-proclaimed Mexican Warrior is quickly earning his place amongst Susan Lucci and the Buffalo Bills as one of the great all-time losers.
Matt Hardy def. Carlito (PHOTOS | VIDEOS) After his loss to Evan Bourne on Mondays Raw, Carlito publicly complained about his treatment in WWE. Well, the Puerto Rican Superstar will have more to grumble about after chalking up a loss to Matt Hardy. With his NXT Rookie Justin Gabriel looking on, the WWE veteran put on a clinic, dropping Carlito with the Twist of Fate after NXT Rookie Michael Tarver's interference failed. Hopefully, Gabriel was taking notes.

It is being reported that they have arrived to the shows early and Hall has been making an effort to lose some weight. Meltzer also reports that Hall is making $3,000 per appearance.
Click here for Cornette's audio response to the legal letter.
Jim Cornette has made some very strong comments on his blog towards Vince Russo, which you can read at http://www.jimcornette.com/ The comments are from an email he sent to Terry Taylor, who is a TNA employee. Also available at that link is a letter Cornette received in response to his blog post from the law firm of Davis, Shapiro, Lewit & Hayes, LLP.
The letter calls Cornette's comments "terroristic threats" and claims that as a result of those comments, Russo "has understandably experienced extreme fear for himself and his family."
Here is the letter Cornette sent to Terry Taylor:
Email from Jim Cornette to Terry Taylor dated March 19, 2010:
TT,
I was going thru and deleting a bunch of old emails and found this last one from you. I don't mean to stir anything up, but I felt I had to write and get some things off my chest.
I have always liked you and we have never had a problem. I am sure you have heard some of my many commentaries on TNA and I wanted to make sure you knew I wish you no ill, nor do I wish anyone in TNA ill, including talent, TV crew, and office staff. If the "incident" had not happened when it did, I would have quit anyway a month later when the news broke that Hogan and Bischoff were taking over the company, and you know this to be true, because the only reason I was ever there was that I thought TNA would be the promotion to keep Vince from having a monopoly, and be an alternative to this bulls--t sports entertainment. Obviously, with the new regime, that is not in the plans, and I would have made a (hopefully) graceful exit shaking my head and wondering why. But taking that out of the equation, I was glad I worked for TNA, it's just frustrating and disappointing to me that it couldn't have turned out better. If not for one thing, I could move on with no hard feelings. But that one thing is big, and is in danger of consuming my life if I don't just come out and say it.
I will say it because I am trying to quell the burning in my heart--I hate Vince Russo. I despise Vince Russo. I want Vince Russo to die. If I could figure out a way to murder him without going to prison, I would consider it the greatest accomplishment of my life.
I hate him for the money he's cost me. I hate him for what he's done to the business. I hate him for keeping TNA from being competitive to WWE. I hate him for the careers, even the lives he's ruined with his s--tty booking and the irreparable damage he's done to every promotion he's been involved with. I regularly wake up from dreams in which I am in the act of murdering him. I literally burn whenever I think of him. I have sworn to myself that I will willingly go to jail if I ever see him in person again, and he had better pray to his fictitious invisible man in the sky that that day never comes. I intend to make it my life's work and mission to f--k with him and anything he ever has anything to do with in the wrestling business.
Why am I writing you this? One, I got the irresistable urge to explain to you the depth of my abhorrence for this abominable prick, and two, I want to make sure that you, and anyone you care to share this with, knows that I truly and genuinely wanted TNA to succeed and liked working with all of you. I am no longer a supporter of TNA as a company, I hope it goes under quickly and painfully because of the stupidity Dixie has exhibited in employing Russo and now the WCW murderers, and I apparently will see my wishes come true with the new direction, but I really did want to see it succeed. I still like everyone there, and am only mad at a few people--Jeff, for talking me into co-existing with that miserable waste of human flesh for 3 years to the point where I have trouble looking at myself in the mirror and not a day goes by that I am not ashamed of myself for abandoning every principle I ever had and speaking to the motherf--ker; and Dixie, not just for employing that useless twat, but for lying to me about the reasons for my firing (never mentioning Ed Ferrara's name and acting like Russo had no part in it), and lying ABOUT me (letting some Russo stooge spread rumors that I was fired for acting unprofessionally toward him, then not putting her name on the retraction while knowing it wasn't true.)
Otherwise, I like everyone there and wish their hard work could be rewarded, and they could all make millions--but they won't, because of a lack of competence and judgement in their leadership. I have nothing to lose--I'm done with corporate wrestling, and I will never again have to occupy the same arena or even city with Vince f--king Russo, but I still feel bad for everyone else who has labored long and hard in vain because of what he's done to the company's chances. I like you--I like Tenay, and West, and Mitchell, and Sahadi, and Ryder, and the talent, and the crew, and all the rest--even Penzer! And I don't want you or any of them to take it personally when I verbally roast TNA every chance I get--but as far as I'm concerned, Jeff should have WAY known better than to hire that asshole, and Dixie, as clueless as she may be about wrestling, should have been more careful in whom she entrusted her father's money, and more perceptive when it came to spotting imbeciles. I don't want any of you to be harmed or affected because of their stupid decisions, but as I said, it's now my life's work to f--k with anything Russo has anything to do with.
I wish you all good luck--I'm sorry if anything I say or do causes you any problems, and I hope one day to be in charge of a wrestling promotion with the funds to hire all of you to work in it--but just so you know, I will f--k with any company Vince Russo is involved with until I draw my last breath, and if there IS an afterlife I will return to haunt his miserable ass. Either that, or I'll will myself to live long enough to piss on his f--king tombstone. And hey--hatred is a helluva motivator!

Cornette's e-mail prompted a legal response from the law firm of Davis, Shapiro, Lewit & Hayes, LLP, a firm representing TNA Entertainment.
Their letter states that Cornette's comments towards Russo constitute "terroristic threats" and that he "has understandably experienced extreme fear for himself and his family" as a result of the comments made by him. They added that Cornette's "terroristic threat" has been reported to "applicable Federal and State law enforcement agencies." The letter also states, "any further threats to contact Vince Russo or any other TNA personnel (directly or indirectly) shall be viewed as acts in furtherance of such threats and shall be pursued and prosecuted accordingly."
WWE Pro Christian def. NXT Rookie Wade Barrett WWE Pro William Regal def. NXT Rookie Daniel Bryan NXT Rookie Darren Young def. Luke Gallows
LONDON With the next Pros Poll just four weeks away, the NXT Rookies continued their mission to impress the WWE Pros and WWE Universe in the hopes of becoming WWEs breakout star. Several NXT Rookies shined during week eight of competition, and one even kept his hair.
NXT Rookie Darren Young def. Luke Gallows (PHOTOS | WATCH) In one of the biggest matches of his NXT Rookie career, Darren Young defeated Luke Gallows, not only proving his worth to his WWE Pro, CM Punk, but also saving his hair.
Earlier, Young apologized to Punk for his actions on SmackDown, and pleaded with him not to cut his hair. (WATCH) While Punk told Young he thought he showed guts, Straight Edge Society disciple Gallows took offense. Punk ordered his NXT Rookie to face the menacing Gallows with his hair on the line. When it mattered most, Young delivered, impressing Punk and the WWE Universe by pinning Gallows. Afterward, Punk raised Youngs hand in victory as a stunned Gallows looked on.
The South Beach party boy proved he could defeat a WWE Superstar on his own, without compromising his own wild personality and style. With the victory, Youngs record improved to 5-2.
WWE Pro William Regal def. NXT Rookie Daniel Bryan (PHOTOS | WATCH) After a negative reception from the WWE Universe in the Talk the Talk Challenge, NXT Rookie Daniel Bryans night didnt improve. Despite a strong offensive effort by Bryan, WWE Pro and Englands own William Regal defeated him with a Running Knee Trembler, causing Bryans win/loss record to sink to 0-8.
Earlier, The Miz gave a pep talk to his NXT Rookie who he referred to as the Susan Boyle of WWE before his match. (WATCH) After Bryans loss, a still-frustrated Miz, who watched the match from ringside, attacked Regal and then hit his NXT Rookie with a Skull Crushing Finale.
WWE Pro Christian def. NXT Rookie Wade Barrett (PHOTOS | WATCH) Thanks in part to a little assistance from his NXT Rookie, Heath Slater, WWE Pro Christian finally got retribution against NXT Rookie Wade Barrett. Two weeks ago, Barretts WWE Pro, Chris Jericho, distracted Christian, allowing Barrett to pin Captain Charisma in the WWE NXT All-Pro Eight-Man Tag Team Match.
But this week in a WWE Pro vs. NXT Rookie Match, the bareknuckle brawler was the one outsmarted. After Jericho distracted the WWE official, Barrett tried to take advantage of the situation, but Slater grabbed Barretts ankle, allowing Christian to capitalize and hit the Killswitch for the win. With his loss, Barretts record fell to 4-4.
NXT Rookies compete in the Talk the Talk Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH) In just four weeks, the second WWE Pros Poll will reveal the Rookie Rankings, and the NXT Rookie who is ranked last will be eliminated. To avoid that fate, the NXT Rookies must win matches and continue to make positive impressions on the WWE Pros in various challenges. Last week, NXT Rookie Heath Slater showed off his physical strength and power by winning the Keg Carrying Challenge. This week, NXT Rookie Wade Barrett wowed the WWE Universe in his home country with his speaking skills.
The NXT Rookies displayed their charisma and ability to verbalize their feelings by connecting with the WWE Universe. The Rookies were given random topics, from cereal to passion to rainbows, and had 30 seconds to expand upon them with originality and creativity. Barrett faced fellow NXT Rookie Skip Sheffield in the final round, and won over the WWE Universe in Londons O2 Arena with his speech about the winds of change in WWE.
Since WWE NXT began, the NXT Rookies walked to the ring to the entrance themes of their respective WWE Pros. As the winner of the Talk the Talk Challenge, Barrett earned the opportunity to create his own entrance music!
Congestive heart failure hospitalized Gene Kiniski in early 2010, and he lost a lot of weight. The cancer which he had silently battled years before returned as well, eventually invading his brain. He passed away on the morning of Wednesday, April 14th, with family at his side.
While bed-ridden, he would complain about having to go out in such a way, but he never complained about the life he chose to live.
"I have one regret about the way I made a living I wish I could do it all over again," he said in 2006. "I had so many goddamn perks and all that. I just couldn't see myself being a 9-to-5er, not that there's anything wrong with it. I've been all over the continent, the world, and made a beautiful living. Hell, I'm still reaping awards."

Eve def. Divas Champion Maryse Unified Tag Team Champion The Miz def. David Hart Smith Evan Bourne def. Carlito WWE Champion John Cena def. David Otunga Kofi Kingston def. Sheamus by Disqualification The Bellas def. Kelly Kelly & Gail Kim and Jillian & Rosa Mendes in a Divas Baywatch Babe Triple Threat Tag Team Match Randy Orton vs. Batista ended in a No Contest
LONDON As an international star beloved by fans around the world, who better than David Hasselhoff to take the reins of Raw across the pond in London? To say he did a phenomenal job, would be like saying that KITT from Knight Rider was a decent ride. Lets face it, The Hoff went off!
Randy Orton vs. Batista ended in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH) While Randy Ortons and Batistas ultimate goal is the World Heavyweight Title and WWE Title respectively, a more immediate goal lay in their paths namely, defeating each other. The two approached their match as a means of gaining momentum and sending a shot across the bow of World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger and WWE Champion John Cena.
After their match got underway, the two veterans proved why theyve accumulated 12 World Championships between them. Seizing a rare opening, The Viper struck The Animal with an RKO. As it appeared Batista would succumb, Swagger interfered, attacking Orton and causing chaos inside the squared circle. Not one to be left out, Cena also climbed through the ropes and locked in the STF on The Animal, who, after a powerhouse struggle, was finally forced to relent and tap out.
The Bellas def. Kelly Kelly & Gail Kim and Jillian & Rosa Mendes in a Divas Baywatch Babe Triple Threat Tag Team Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Where ever David Hasselhoff goes, the actor brings the beach with him. As special guest host, the former Baywatch actor arranged a Divas Baywatch Babe Triple Threat Tag Team Match featuring Kelly Kelly & Gail Kim against The Bella Twins against Jillian & Rosa Mendes with Santino serving as special guest referee.
As the former Baywatch actor watched from a lifeguard tower, the bikini-clad Divas smashed into each other like waves against the sand. After The Bellas clinched the win, Jillian, who had gotten pinned, caused Santino to nearly swallow his lifeguard whistle. While the Divas pleaded for Hasselhoff to administer CPR, he begged off. Instead, Hornswoggle emerged and nailed the Italian with a Tadpole Splash, causing Santino to cough up the wedged whistle.
Kofi Kingston def. Sheamus by Disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH) Sheamus continued this week to get his Irish up way up. After announcing that he will face off against Triple H at Extreme Rules in a Street Fight, The Celtic Warrior was interrupted by Kofi Kingston, the man he pummeled with a steel pipe last week. Never one to back down, The Dreadlock Dynamo confronted his assailant and demanded a rematch. Just when prospects were looking bright for Kingston, however, Sheamus nailed him with the television monitor. The transgression left Kingston down and the Irishman disqualified. His victory, however, didnt stop The Celtic Warrior from further punishing his opponent with a pump kick.
WWE Champion John Cena def. David Otunga (PHOTOS | WATCH) A rookie mistake or the beginning of a brilliant career? After last week, when NXT Rookie David Otunga betrayed WWE Champion John Cena, the fate and sanity of A-List Otunga was called into question. This week, a hint of his fate was revealed when he faced off against The Champ. With Cenas Extreme Rules opponent Batista looking on, the WWE Champion surmounted a couple of Otungas underhanded tactics to defeat the self-proclaimed A-List.
The Champ then called on The Animal to step into the ring. After advancing toward the ring, Batista thought better of tangling with Cena and retreated up the entrance ramp.
Evan Bourne def. Carlito (PHOTOS | WATCH) Carlito has always been known to have a fiery Latin temper. Tonight, however, the rotten apple appeared exceptionally overheated. Apparently, losing quickly will do that. After the high-flying Evan Air Bourne disposed of his opponent in short order, Carlito lost it and stormed out of the ring.
Unified Tag Team Champion The Miz def. David Hart Smith (PHOTOS | WATCH) In England, home of black pudding, jellied eels and blood sausage, even the Brits cant stomach The Miz. The Unified Tag Team Champion was showered with boos after proclaiming himself and partner Big Show the greatest tag team of all time. Even WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart emerged to confront The Cleveland Screamers claims before inviting out The Hart Dynasty Natalya, Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith who had defeated the champions two weeks prior.
Hart proposed a match between Miz and Smith with the stipulation that if Smith won, The Hart Dynasty would receive a Unified Tag Team Title Match at Extreme Rules. If Miz won, however, The Hit Man would be forced to proclaim Show-Miz the greatest tag team of all time next week on Raw.
Well, The Excellence of Execution should prepare to eat a little crow. After a tough back-and-forth battle, it was The Miz who emerged victorious over the young Hart.
Eve def. Divas Champion Maryse (PHOTOS | WATCH) It was like a scene out of the film Mean Girls. After all the abuse and put-downs suffered at the hands of Divas Champion Maryse, Eve finally got her chance to shut the mouth of her conceited Canadian rival in a title match. Summoning her natural athletic ability, Eve overcame the underhanded tactics and trash-talking to net the butterfly title and become the new Divas Champion.
Special guest host David Hasselhoff opened Raw (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Hoff is in the house! Actor, singer and producer extraordinaire David Hasselhoff was fittingly escorted to the ring by a host of beach-worthy babes. The worldwide star greeted the audience before informing them that he had arranged a match between the No. 1 contenders to the WWE and World Heavyweight Titles, Batista and Randy Orton respectively.
