Mickie James talks about leaving WWE, joining TNA Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 08/05/2010 at 04:05 PM
Former WWE Diva Mickie James was interviewed by Fanhouse.com this week and spoke about her music career, her WWE release and whether shed work for TNA Wrestling again.
Here are some highlights of what she said about...
Her WWE Release: It definitely was heartbreaking and it was out of the blue for me. It totally blindsided me and I didnt see it coming. But, you know, hindsight is 20-20. Perhaps if I wasnt so passionate I dont know, its one of those things that I think I wouldve never cut out on my own because I did love my job and I loved WWE and I loved my fans so much that I wouldve given anything. And I intended to be able to do both, to still wrestle 250 days out of the year and, in the meantime, if were in Savannah, Georgia, do the show that night and then maybe go to a bar and even if its like a little acoustic set, do a mini-acoustic set afterward and then hit the radio stations the next morning I had this whole plan. So it kind of totally hit me out of left field, but maybe it was a blessing in disguise because now I can really concentrate on the music, and kind of cherry-pick when Im gonna wrestle and what Im gonna do and rebuild my plan of what I want to do and where I want to go.
Her Music Career Being Her Top Priority: Heres the deal I think that Ive made my mark in the industry and Ive made a legacy in the business, and granted theres a lot more that I wanted to do, but it kind of fell short. So now its just a moving forward thing. I dont think that anything that I could do in the industry right now on this level, in the wrestling industry, would ever compare to wrestling in front of 90,000 people. Unless its right and its the perfect thing, my focus is on the music. My heart and soul, thats where Im at right now, all my focus is on that.
Working For TNA: Well certainly Ive entertained the thought and its one of those things there has to be this beautiful marriage between the two. Obviously my music right now is in the forefront, and if theres a way to be able to do it and still you know, because TNAs schedule is certainly less demanding, maybe what, 100 dates out of the year? Obviously it would give me a lot more time, but it would also give me that platform to be able to be there for my wrestling fans and hope that they would support me with my music.

The word going around is that Samoa Joe's suspension from TNA was for one month.
F4WOnline.com reports that TNA sent out an internal memo right after the incident happened two weeks ago. So this means it didn't hit the internet until almost two to three weeks later.

The Miz def. Michael McGillicutty (PHOTOS | WATCH) On a mission to prove hes anything but a mediocre NXT Rookie, Michael McGillicutty faced WWE Pro The Miz in singles action. It was the United States Champion who dominated, however, showing no remorse or mercy toward the No. 1 ranked NXT Rookie. Despite a resurgence by McGillicutty toward the end of the match, it was The Miz who emerged victorious, hitting the NXT Rookie with the Skull Crushing Finale. No longer perfect, McGillicuttys record dropped to 6-1.
Alex Riley def. Showtime Percy Watson (PHOTOS | WATCH) In WWE.coms recent NXT Rookie Confessionals, Showtime Percy Watson admitted the NXT Rookie he just cant get along with is Alex Riley. (WATCH) Hoping to teach the Varsity Villain a lesson about respect, the always-entertaining Watson put up a strong fight. But it was the increasingly impressive Riley who scored the win after hitting Showtime with Youre Dismissed. No. 3 ranked Rileys record moved up to 3-2, while No. 4 ranked Watsons dropped to 2-4.
Michael McGillicutty def. Lucky Cannon (PHOTOS | WATCH) Lucky Cannon and Michael McGillicutty two NXT Rookies having scores to settle with The Miz competed for the chance to face the WWE Pro. Recently, the United States Champion brutally threw Cannon into the Money in the Bank briefcase with the Skull Crushing Finale, and called McGillicutty a mediocre NXT Rookie. Yet it was McGillicutty who maintained his perfect record, quickly defeating Cannon with the McGillicutter for the opportunity to face The Miz in the main event. The No. 1 ranked McGillicutty improved his already flawless record to 6-0, while No. 5 ranked Cannon wasnt so lucky, moving to 2-5.
Husky Harris def. Kaval (PHOTOS | WATCH) Husky Harris continued to bulldoze through his competition on WWE NXT, defeating fellow NXT Rookie, Kaval, for the second time in as many weeks. The Army tank with the Ferrari engine lived up to his nickname, dominating a normally quick Kaval, then pinning him after a thunderous running senton. No. 6 ranked Harris proud WWE Pro, Cody Rhodes, congratulated his NXT Rookie following the match. Harris hot streak brought his record up to 4-2, while No. 2 ranked Kaval fell to the bottom of the pack in terms of win-loss records at 1-5.
Lucky Cannon wins the NXT Rookie Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH) The final six puckered up for an exciting, new NXT Rookie Challenge Tuesday night a kissing contest.

Instead, Laredos not-so-Flawless 1993 Homecoming Queen, Margarita, was the judge, and despite a strong effort by Alex Riley, she chose Lucky Cannon as the winner. Cannon didnt earn a special prize for winning the kissing contest, though he undoubtedly made an impression albeit positive or negative on the WWE Universe and WWE Pros.
Former NWO member wants to join TNA? Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/03/2010 at 05:07 PM
Former WCW performer Scott "Flash" Norton suggested to TNA president Dixie Carter last week on Twitter that she bring him in as her bodyguard.
The former New World Order member wrote, "I really think you need a bodyguard & that I would be the perfect candidate 4 the job!"
Norton, who is now 52 years old and resides in Nashville, does not consider himself retired. He is currently accepting booking requests for independent gigs through his Facebook page.
Dreamer talks more about Heyman's PPV invitation Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/03/2010 at 04:26 PM
Monday Night Mayhem with Tommy Dreamer Hosts: The Big Mosh, Jimmy Noonan, and "The Chairman of the Board," Todd Vincent Report by Paterson from N.J. Airs every Monday at 6:00 P.M. (CT) Show available at MondayNightMayhem.com.
How supportive has Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff been about the ECW revival in TNA/the concept of the Hardcore Justice Pay-Per-View and the Hardcore Originals getting "the rub" from "The Hulkster" in the ring on last Thursday night's Impact: "I was at WrestleMania with my dad. I was at WrestleMania II. For anyone to say anything about Hulk Hogan, he walks slowly and has a bit of a limp from all the surgeries. He has given so much to this business. To be in the ring with him, and the fan in me and the kid in me, they kept showing me and D-Von, and we were flexing, almost doing the Hulk Hogan pose as Hulk was coming to the ring.
"In regards to Dixie Carter giving us her 100 percent blessing, I don't really know the guys' personal feelings towards it, but I don't think if Hulk Hogan didn't like what he saw, I don't think he would be out there. He has that stroke to say 'No, I don't wanna do something.' I don't know Eric Bischoff's personal feelings towards it. Obviously, they are going forward and giving whatever Pay-Per-View matches they were gonna do for Hard Justice; they are gonna do the following Thursday, which is great."
The Paul Heyman/TNA rumors and the "invitation" being extended to Paul for this Sunday night's Pay-Per-View: "I have spoken to Paul, and there is an invitation out there. I would love for him to be there, but I understand if he's not. He's also doing stuff for Brock Lesnar. Paul is Paul, and if he does come in, I think he could definitely help. If he doesn't, the business moves on without him. He's very, very talented, and I think it would be cool to get people to drink his Kool-Aid again. If he does come to terms, I think it would be a good deal for Paul, and hopefully it would be a good deal for TNA as well."
His thoughts on the refusal of several former ECW stars (such as "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, Mikey Whipwreck, and Lance Storm) choosing not to appear at Hardcore Justice: "Number one, there are only so many matches that you can truly have. I also don't wanna throw a bunch of people into Battle Royals just for the sake of throwing people into the show. Yes, I did reach out to Lance Storm, and he said 'Thanks for thinking of me, but I had my closure in 2005, and it was the perfect scenario for me.'
"He had some personal issues with TNA, but that didn't affect our friendship. Mikey Whipwreck has some serious health issues, and talking to Mikey he said 'Hey, when I sneeze, my fingers go numb, and I gotta get my neck worked on.' He also did not want to go out there and embarrass himself, and to me, if you can't go out to that ring, you shouldn't go out there anymore. If you're there, you're there. If you're not there, I respect that."
His reaction to the critics who think this PPV is being done to only make money for TNA and those that feel that the ECW legacy is being bastardized/prostituted yet again and the response he has received from World Wrestling Entertainment (including his long-time friends and colleagues who still work there): "I've gotten so many texts and phone calls from people who do work in the WWE congratulating me and wishing me tons of success. This was never about bashing the WWE, or we're better...that's not the case. My plan was to create a buzz for TNA. I've done that, and created some ratings for TNA, and we've done that too. After this, my goal is to help all that in TNA. I do have a different perspective, not saying that it's 100% right, but these are ways I could prove to other people that if this is a success, that we are on the right track here. Bastardizing it and all that stuff, no.
"Bottom line, this is a television show. If you don't like it, you don't have to watch it. Everything I have tried to do in my short time I've been in TNA, and trust me when I tell you: this is for TNA and for the future of this business. I wish I could have Joey Styles call the Pay-Per-View, but I can't, because he's under contract. If Chris Jericho was available, I would have Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio, but I can't. The surprises I have in store I hope are good surprises for people, and I look at this as a celebration of guys who are getting another shot, and you'll never see us together again."
What can the fans can expect from him in TNA (both inside the squared circle and/or behind the scenes) after his "Final Showdown" with Raven at HardCORE Justice: "My goal is to contribute to TNA in any role given to me and to continue to contribute in the wrestling business that I love so much. I have a list of men and women that I have seen on the indies that are television ready, and I have a list of people that should go to a developmental system that I've seen them work live, and if I have the opportunity to introduce these new people to the world, I would love to do that.
"It's going out there and having to wrestle AJ Styles, finding a partner and wrestling Beer Money, wrestling Samoa Joe, or helping with a promo in the background behind the scenes, or helping on creative. Giving my experiences that I learned to show what I feel to help you take it to the next level. Just continue to contribute to the TNA product, as well as contribute to the business that I love."
Dave Scherer is reporting that Samoa Joe has been suspended from TNA indefinitely due to an apparent bad attitude. There is also speculation that the company hasn't been happy with Joe's weight.
During an appearance on the "Busted Open" radio show earlier today, Tommy Dreamer stated he has spoken with Paul Heyman about having a role on the upcoming ECW-themed TNA Hardcore Justice PPV this Sunday in Orlando. Dreamer stated Heyman has interests in doing his own thing at the moment, but hoped he would be there. He also wished appearances could be made by Joey Styles and Rey Mysterio, but how both can't due to their contracts with WWE.
Dreamer added, "If Paul wants to be there, Paul will be there. And if Paul's not going to be there, it's not on Paul. That's cool. Yes, I have spoken to him. I have expressed that I wished he was there. He's doing his deal. I hope he shows up. You never what mysteries and surprises we will have in store. Trust me, I have a few already."
- TNA wanted to do a Ric Flair vs. Shane Douglas match for the Hardcore Justice PPV to play off a beef the two had years ago. Flair reportedly didnt want to do the match. Douglas recently told Fanhouse writer Brian Fritz that he turned down TNAs offer for the PPV.
Edge vs. Wade Barrett ended in a No Contest Divas Champion Alicia Fox, Jillian & Tamina def. Eve, Gail Kim & Natalya WWE Champion Sheamus def. Goldust John Cena def. Chris Jericho The Great Khali def. Ted DiBiase Randy Orton def. United States Champion The Miz in a Non-title Match
SAN ANTONIO, Texas Its the dog days of summer, and with SummerSlam just two weeks away, the Raw roster certainly seems to be feeling the heat. While WWE Champion Sheamus tries to escape the glare of his cold-blooded competitor, Randy Orton, Team WWE continues to tear themselves apart.
Randy Orton def. United States Champion The Miz in a Non-Title Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Randy Orton ruined everything at least according to The Miz. The United States Champion complained before their match that he would also hold the WWE Title, if not for that meddling Viper, who RKOd him last week before he could cash in his Money in the Bank contract on a dazed WWE Champion Sheamus.
During their bout, with The Celtic Warrior scouting from ringside, Miz offered a convincing case for himself to reign as WWE Champion. However, it was The Viper who would eventually outmaneuver Mr. Money in the Bank to score yet another victory on the path to his WWE Title Match at SummerSlam.
After his win, Orton appeared confident perhaps overly so. He even dared Sheamus to enter the ring with him, but the Irishman begged off, possibly still smarting from an RKO he received after gunning for his cold-blooded adversary the previous week. Or perhaps the Irishman is simply biding his time until he can skin the snake once and for all.
The Great Khali def. Ted DiBiase (PHOTOS | WATCH) Earlier in the evening, Michael Tarver and David Otunga had informed The Great Khali that Ted DiBiase was attempting to replace him and buy his way onto Team WWE. The pair even tried to convince Khali to join The Nexus. While the charm offensive failed, a seed was nonetheless planted.
Hoping to water that seed, Wade Barrett and Skip Sheffield perched themselves ringside as Khali faced off against DiBiase. When it appeared The Fortunate Son had opened a window of opportunity, Barrett and Sheffield slammed it shut, distracting DiBiase. The ploy allowed The Punjabi Playboy to capitalize for the win. While he basked in the glow of victory, Khali even appeared appreciative of The Nexus ongoing efforts, which may signal further trouble for Team WWE at SummerSlam.
John Cena & Bret Hart to face Chris Jericho & Edge In the wake of the further implosion of Team WWE, Raws anonymous GM arranged a tag team match for the following Monday, pitting John Cena & WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart against their former SummerSlam teammates Chris Jericho & Edge, who appear to have reconnected over their mutual disdain for Cena, The Nexus and the WWE Universe. Oh, and if the tension wasnt high enough, all seven members of The Nexus will encircle the ring to act as lumberjacks!
John Cena def. Chris Jericho (PHOTOS | WATCH) Apparently, Chris Jericho wasnt really all that interested in leading Team WWE after all. Why else would he tap out the second John Cena locked him into an STF during their Loser Leaves SummerSlam Team Match? For the self-important Superstar, being free from Cena appeared more important than winning. To his credit, Cena offered to forget the entire episode in an effort to rebuild Team WWE. Selfish as ever, though, Jericho rejected the olive branch and abandoned his teammates.
WWE Champion Sheamus def. Goldust (PHOTOS | WATCH) What a difference a year makes. In 2009, Goldust peppered Sheamus with aggression and skill when the two were in ECW. In their match tonight, however, the WWE Champion won easily, asserting his dominance and then some. After the win, the Irishman ranted about having ended Triple Hs career and then proceeded to threaten to do the same to his SummerSlam foe, Randy Orton.
Divas Champion Alicia Fox, Jillian & Tamina def. Eve, Gail Kim & Natalya; Melina returned and attacked Alicia (PHOTOS | WATCH) Alicia Foxs hot streak just ran headlong into cold, harsh reality. The Divas Champ had teamed with Jillian & Tamina to face Eve, Gail Kim & Natalya. After watching Tamina save her bacon, Alicia seized the baton and took credit for her teams win. Her selfish exploits backfired, though, when a returning Diva paid a visit: Melina! The brunette beauty attacked Alicia, sending the message that shes back and hungry. And when the Divas Champ tried to escape Melina, her fellow Divas forced her back in, where the striking Latina punished her and, undoubtedly, sent a chill up her spine.
Edge quit Team WWE; Chris Jericho challenged John Cena An inconsolable Edge confronted John Cena in the locker room area after The Nexus cornered him during his loss to Wade Barrett. During the war of words, The Ultimate Opportunist quit Team WWE, complaining to Cena that his teammates did not involve themselves in his match. This, after he had previously insisted that his teammates not involve themselves. Yeah, you read that correctly.
Still reeling from Edges abrupt departure, Cena was then confronted by Chris Jericho. The self-important Superstar demanded that the two face each other later in the night, with the loser leaving Team WWE. Despite his protestations, Cena reluctantly agreed.
Wade Barrett vs. Edge ended in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH) After Team WWE cracked under the strains of infighting last week, Edge felt compelled to voice his frustration. He went rogue, belittling his SummerSlam team and challenging Wade Barrett to a singles match. Before the leader of The Nexus could respond, Edges SummerSlam teammate R-Truth tried to talk sense into him, emphasizing the need for unity. Raws anonymous General Manager interrupted Truth, however, and quickly granted The Rated-R Superstars request.
During the bout, Edge nearly scored a pinfall on Barrett, who immediately signaled for his Nexus comrades. Slinking toward the ring, the remaining Nexus members closed in on The Rated-R Superstar, who leaped a security barrier, scampered off into the crowd.

Rumor regarding WWE getting a new logo Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 07/31/2010 at 09:07 PM
A member of the WWE Universe site posted earlier today that the WWE would be getting a new logo. He claimed that he knew this because of a friend of his who works in production with WWE.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas Things got wet and wild when Jack Swagger and Rey Mysterio both found themselves swimming in the Gulf of Mexico. And in a shocking revelation, Kane said The Undertaker told him it was Rey Mysterio who attacked him!
Rey Mysterio vs. Jack Swagger No Disqualification Match ended in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH) As Rey Mysterio and Jack Swaggers battle waged on, they found themselves tangling along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Although no winner was determined, it was Swagger who found himself gasping for air after Mysterio tossed him in the water. But the night wasnt over yet, as Kane emerged from the darkness and tossed his alleged brothers assailant into the salty brine.
"Self-professed" Co-Women's Champion Michelle McCool def. Tiffany in a Women's Championship Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) In a match that was supposed to feature Womens Champion Layla, Official SmackDown Consultant Vickie Guerrero shook things up by having the Self-professed Co-Womens Champion Michelle McCool defend the title. With a hard-hitting Faithbreaker, Michelle stopped Tiffany cold. But just as things were looking peachy keen for Team Lay-Cool, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long threw a wrench in things.
Long made it crystal clear. Theres only one Womens Championship. And you two need to make up your mind who is going to wear the title. Because if you dont decide, then next week, I will, he said.
Dolph Ziggler def. Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston by Disqualification in a Non-Title Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) As Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston mounted an aggressive assault on Dolph Ziggler, things went a little too far for the ref. After being disqualified, an enraged Kingston assaulted Ziggler without mercy, showing a rare side of the champion. The chaos finally ended when the wound-up champion was subdued by WWE officials. Despite the beating Ziggler received, he claimed his second win in a row over Kingston and earned himself an Intercontinental Champion Match against the Kingston next week.
Big Show def. Luke Gallows by Disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH) Like a pack of ravenous predators, The Straight Edge Societys CM Punk and Joey Mercury intervened in a match between Big Show and Luke Gallows. With Gallows joining in, the trio viciously assaulted The Worlds Largest Athlete by smashing him into the steel ring steps and repeatedly grinding and stomping on his hand. Serena even entered the fray, driving her heels into Big Shows hand.
Christian def. Drew McIntyre (PHOTOS | WATCH) Despite a brutal offense from Drew McIntyre combined with Christian battling an injured shoulder it was the veteran who claimed victory by locking up the Scotsman with an inside cradle small package.
Kane revealed Rey Mysterio attacked The Undertaker (PHOTOS) Kane revealed that The Undertaker is finally showing signs of recovery by talking for the first time in two months. In a bedside discussion, Kane said his brother told him it was Rey Mysterio who attacked him.
After the stunning news, The Big Red Monster recalled how Rey Mysterio won a SmackDown Battle Royal and qualified for the World Title Match at the Fatal 4-Way pay-per-view. Kane claimed it all made sense that it was Rey who wanted Undertaker out of the way, so that he could win the Battle Royal and advance to Fatal 4-Way.
Full of rage, Kane said Mysterio will cease to exist after he beats him at SummerSlam and stuffs him in a casket. (Preview)
John Cena rips into NXT Season 2 rookie Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 07/28/2010 at 12:49 PM
John Cena posted the following about Perry Watson on his Twitter (@JohnCena) page:
"If Percy Watson makes another one of those faces where I'm supposed to think he's mad but it looks like he just crapped himself...I'll eliminated him. He has gone downhill every single week. Disappointing. He is really one hell of an athlete. I think he may be suffering from yep yep syndrome. Looking for something special when all he needs is what he's got."
