- Eliminated NXT season three contestant Maxine set a manipulated photo of herself donning a Nexus T-shirt as her avatar on Twitter. She teasingly wrote "Never know!!" in regards to joining the faction.
Homicide talks about politics in TNA Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 11/17/2010 at 01:40 PM
Former TNA star Homicide was interviewed by Canada's Slam Wrestling and spoke candidly about his release from the company. Here are some highlights of what he said about:
Politics In TNA, Being Miserable & His Eventual Release:
"I'm not going to lie to you, I was telling my girlfriend honesty, it hurts everybody. When I speak the truth, it hurts. I didn't say anything aggressive. I was frustrated in the end. I'm very confident that I can do better. Politics just got me in the butt and just caught me. I was miserable at the end of my days in TNA, I didn't like it."
Despite all that, Homicide looks back fondly on his time in TNA. He told Slam, "I miss the boys, I miss the staff, I miss everything. I became a smarter businessman when I went to TNA."
Working With Hernandez & Konan In Mexico:
"He's in Mexico right now, he's still in TNA, but he's doing more coverage in Mexico. There's a big rumor that me, Hernandez and Konnan are going to do the 5150 tour in Mexico, and hopefully we're going to bring it to the States and we're going to have a LAX reunion."
Ex-WWE star takes credit for Sheamus having a job Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 11/16/2010 at 12:28 PM
During an interview on Right After Wrestling yesterday night, former WWE wrestler Jimmy Yang took credit for bringing the "Celtic Warrior" Sheamus to World Wrestling Entertainment, saying, "I'm the one who got Sheamus his job."
"I picked him out in Milan, Italy and said, 'I'm gonna test this guy out' and look at him now, he's done great. I saw the workouts earlier and they told me that I could work with anyone I wanted. It came down to him and another German guy. I went to both guys and I asked, 'Who does Italy hate the most, Germans or Irishmen?' They both told me Irishmen, so I ended up picking Sheamus to work that night. The rest is history.
X-Pac talks about not being at RAW Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 11/16/2010 at 03:51 AM
Sean Waltman (X-Pac) posted the following on Twitter:
"I dont know why I wasnt at Old School Raw. Maybe everyone should call them and ask them. Dont tell them I told you to call though:) Not that they wont find out anyway, with all the wwe undercover operatives scanning twitterverse. Maybe I just slipped their mind. If u listen to their version of history, i barely existed. f*** em if they cant take a joke. 4 f*** sakes, the election is over. Enough with the PG bullshit Vince. I love you Boss, but come on. Trust me, Im not trying to get a job. Im doing fine & having fun. I just like to play harmless ribs. Someone's gonna be pissed though. lol! As long as there testing for marijuana, which is totally retarded, I will not pass their drug test. They will drop the pot thing. watch"
HHH hints that his in-ring career is winding down Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 11/15/2010 at 05:14 PM
Triple H recently commented on his rehab and WWE return status during a recent Wrestlemania 27 promotional interview with SBNation.com.
HHH stated, "Got another couple months rehab-wise. I don't know how regularly I'll be back."
The former DX member continued, "We made a pact that if one of us didn't recognize it's time to quit, we'd tell the other one it's time. It's a young man's business, and I'm cool with that. I have fun working with the other side of the business, and I don't kill animals or follow sports."
- World Wrestling Entertainment released five developmental talents over the weekend; Dr. Cable Jones, Devin Allen, Fahd Rakman, Ron Myers, Rhys Ali and referee Daniel Skylar.
All six were removed from the roster page of the official website of Florida Championship Wrestling.
Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler def. Mark Henry WWE Tag Team Champions Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater def. The Hart Dynasty Ezekiel Jackson def. The Brooklyn Brawler John Cena def. Alex Riley Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov def. The Usos Kofi Kingston def. David Otunga Wade Barrett def. R-Truth Alberto Del Rio def. Sgt. Slaughter Mae Young def. "Co-WWE Divas Champions" Michelle McCool & Layla in a No Disqualification Non-Title Match U.S. Champion Daniel Bryan def. Jack Swagger
HERSHEY, Pa. Who needs a DeLorean that can hit 88 mph to travel back in time? Instead, Raw kicked off Old School night with a battalion of WWE Alumni and Hall of Famers. And although the classic Raw graphics and ring ropes were evident, there was still a lot of brand new developments leading up to this Sundays Survivor Series.
WWE Champion Randy Orton, John Cena and Wade Barrett clashed on Pipers Pit (WATCH | PHOTOS) Prior to Rowdy Roddy Piper hosting John Cena and WWE Champion Randy Orton on his talk show, Pipers Pit, more than a dozen old school Superstars took a bow, including Dusty Rhodes, Million Dollar Man, IRS, Tito Santana, Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff and Tatanka, among others.
When the applause finally receded, the historic lineup of Superstars allowed Piper to welcome his guests, The Viper and The Nexus Cena. First out was Cena, who assured his host that, as special guest referee, he would call the WWE Title Match at Survivor Series right down the middle. Upon hearing Cenas proclamation, Wade Barrett intruded to remind the Legendary star that he will be fired from WWE if the Englishman loses or be free from The Nexus if Barrett wins, all of which means that, depending on the outcome at Survivor Series, it may well have been Cena's final appearance in WWE. Regardless of outcome, Cena, forced to wear the N-labeled shirt of his associates, told his overlord that he still plans on pummeling him.
The other Superstar in the volatile equation, WWE Champion Randy Orton, then factored in. The Viper mentioned to Cena that he had wanted to punt him in the skull to eliminate him from referee duties this Sunday. Instead, WWEs Apex Predator thought it best to sink his fangs into Barrett.
Just as Orton prepared to punt Barretts skull, though, Nexus reluctant warrior Cena stopped him and was punished with an RKO. Seizing the moment, Barrett once again engaged Orton in battle, only to be felled once more. The brief exchange was just enough to enable a groggy Cena now the focus of the champions punt to recover and evade The Vipers charging boot. The Legendary star hit Orton with an Attitude Adjustment, at which point the Englishman ordered his disciple to raise his hand in victory. Big mistake. Cena took umbrage and laid out Barrett with an Attitude Adjustment of his own, a mere six days before Survivor Series.
U.S. Champion Daniel Bryan def. Jack Swagger (WATCH) Awash in a sea of red, white & blue, United States Champion Daniel Bryan took on the challenge of The All-American American, Jack Swagger. With Good ol J.R. Jim Ross acting as special guest commentator, the U.S. Champion proved his colors dont run by defeating Swagger in an interpromotional clash.
After the victory, however, Bryan would not have time to celebrate. Instead, Ted DiBiase bolted in and leveled the U.S. Champion before holding the U.S. Title overhead after earlier rejecting The Million Dollar Title from his father, who had retrieved it from Aksana. His statement made, The Fortunate Son then strolled off with his lady friend Maryse on his arm.
Mae Young def. Co-Divas Champions Michelle McCool & Layla in a No Disqualification Non-Title Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Respect your elders or else! With WWEs original Diva, Mae Young, soaking up the well-deserved respect of the crowd, self-proclaimed Co-Divas Champions Michelle McCool & Layla couldnt help themselves. WWEs Mean Girls came out and quickly began ripping on the pioneering Young, who, in turn, challenged Lay-Cool to a No Disqualification Match. McCool & Layla eagerly accepted, but then a host of Raw Divas intervened and crushed Lay-Cool, allowing Young to pin Layla for the win.
Alberto Del Rio def. Sgt. Slaughter (WATCH | PHOTOS) A Superstar badmouths the good ol U.S. of A. long enough and theyll have Sgt. Slaughter raining down shock and awe. After being introduced by Tito Santana and accompanied to the ring by Chavo Guerrero Sr., Alberto Del Rio began spouting yet another anti-American tirade. Sarge was quickly all over him like camo on a corporal, challenging the Mexican elitist to a match. Although Slaughter ran him through an obstacle course of hurt, the moneyed Mexican still managed to overcome and emerge victorious. In the wake of Del Rio's win, MVP rushed in to aid Sarge and chase off the Mexican menace.
Wade Barrett def. R-Truth (WATCH | PHOTOS) Wade Barrett proved he isnt simply a ruthless, petulant leader with a nasally English accent and greasy hair. The guys actually got chops. To demonstrate, Barrett faced R-Truth in singles competition and toppled the athletic Superstar. With both WWE Champion Randy Orton and John Cena looking on separately in the locker room area, the Englishman asserted himself just six days before his WWE Title Match at Survivor Series.
Kofi Kingston def. David Otunga (WATCH | PHOTOS) George The Animal Steele must have been feeling a bit peckish. During an interpromotional bout pitting David Otunga against SmackDowns Kofi Kingston, the WWE Hall of Famer ambled to the ring and, with a flash of his green tongue, began to devour the stuffing from one of the rings turnbuckles. The oddity distracted the Nexus disciple long enough to allow Kingston to take advantage for the win.
Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov def. The Usos (WATCH | PHOTOS) The borscht will burst and the risotto runneth over! Vladimir Kozlov & Santino Marella are sure to celebrate after becoming the No. 1 contenders to the WWE Tag Team Titles by defeating The Usos. Not even the encouragement of Tamina and her father, WWE Hall of Famer Superfly Jimmy Snuka, could propel Jimmy & Jey over their worldly opponents, who must face champions and Nexus disciples Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater.
The pairs celebration, though, would have to wait. In the wake of their victory, an irate Sheamus charged the ring and unleashed fury. As he trained his ire on Santino, who had handed him an embarrassing upset weeks earlier, John Morrison entered and nailed him. Santinos defender then revealed his motivation: He wasnt about to let the Irishman get away with his bullying bull.
Later, The Celtic Warrior attacked The Shaman of Sexy in the locker room area and a match between the two was arranged for Survivor Series.
John Cena def. Alex Riley; WWE Champion Randy Orton and John Cena to face off during "Pipers Pit" (WATCH | PHOTOS) Agreeing to a match with John Cena seems easy enough. Actually participating in said match, well, thats when things get a little dicey. Although he was supposed to face Cena, The Miz conveniently begged off, subbing in his apprentice Alex Riley instead. Cena had hoped to hobble The Cleveland Screamer, so that he would be unable to cash in his Money in the Bank contract. Instead, Cena made quick work of Riley with a crushing STF.
Afterward, WWE Champion Randy Orton sought retaliation against Miz for ambushing him the week prior. Before The Viper could strike, though, Nexus members Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty intervened, allowing Miz to scamper away. Disposing of the two Nexi, Orton then found himself facing Cena himself. Tensions could not be contained, and the two exchanged blows before a torrent of referees and trainers was able to separate the two. During the simmer, Raw's anonymous GM chimed in and ordered the two Superstars to settle their differences later in the evening during an episode of "Piper's Pit."
Ezekiel Jackson def. The Brooklyn Brawler (WATCH | PHOTOS) The Brooklyn Brawler defeat Ezekiel Jackson? Fuggedaboutit! Accompanied by manager Harvey Wippleman, the old school icon challenged any of the new school Superstars to a match. Unfortunately for him, Jackson appeared more than eager to accept and defeated Brawler in impressive fashion.
WWE Tag Team Champions Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater def. The Hart Dynasty (WATCH | PHOTOS) After weeks of frustration with his partners performance, Tyson Kidd finally decided to bury the hatchet right in David Hart Smiths back. Before their non-title bout against WWE Tag Team Champions Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater, The Hart Dynasty duo appeared to be on the mend, agreeing to forego their recent difficulties. During the match, however, just as it appeared Hart Smith was gaining momentum, Kidd booted him in the face and deliberately cost him the match. He then walked off and left his befuddled partner alone in the ring.
Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler def. Mark Henry (WATCH | PHOTOS) Prior to his match against Mark Henry, Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler compared himself and his lady friend, Vickie Guerrero, to another Intercontinental couple, Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth. Although the comparison seemed about as believable as Zigglers hair color, the bottle blond did back up his boasts. He managed to win the interpromotional match by locking in a sleeper hold on The Worlds Strongest Man.
John Cena vs. The Miz arranged (PHOTOS) Ushering in old school night, legendary announcer Mean Gene Okerlund introduced WWE Hall of Famer Cowboy Bob Orton, father of the current WWE Champion. When the senior Orton informed the WWE Universe that his son Randy will prevail at Survivor Series this Sunday, his sons opponent, Wade Barrett, took exception. The leader of The Nexus predicted a much different outcome, one that prompted The Miz to enter the fray.
Mr. Money in the Bank reminded the WWE Universe that he can cash in his title contract at any moment, threatening to keep John Cena in Nexus indefinitely. That threat did not sit well with Cena, who challenged Miz to a match, hoping to ensure that he is in no condition to cash in his contract. After thinking it over, Mr. Money in the Bank finally accepted the challenge.
Update on Top FCW Star to WWE's Roster Posted by Steve Carrier on 11/15/2010 at 11:13 AM
This isn't confirmed yet but Johnny Curtis reportedly became the new FCW Heavyweight Champion at Thursday's TV tapings after beating Mason Ryan by forfeit. Mason wasn't at the WWE developmental tapings because he has been overseas with the main WWE roster. This is a good sign that Mason, who is similar to Batista, may end up on RAW or SmackDown soon.
Apparently Ryan had the FCW belt with him in Europe so Curtis didn't receive the title Thursday. Again, this isn't confirmed but we'll keep you updated. If anyone attended the tapings and can provide an update, please feel free to e-mail us.
-- Eric Young re-signed with TNA Wrestling this week after his previous contract expired on Nov. 1. He agreed to a sizable pay cut, but given the rights to book his own independent
Alberto Del Rio def. Kofi Kingston Natalya def. self-professed "Co-Divas Champion" Layla (Non-Title Match) David Otunga def. Edge (Lumberjack Match) Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler def. MVP (Intercontinental Championship Match) Big Show def. World Heavyweight Champion Kane (Non-Title Match)
MANCHESTER, England As The Nexus once again threatened the future of SmackDown, World Heavyweight Champion Kane facilitated Edges loss to David Otunga in a Lumberjack Match, while The Rated-R Superstar caused The Devils Favorite Demon to fall to Big Show.
Big Show def. World Heavyweight Champion Kane in a Non-Title Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) In a major clash of SmackDown's titans, Big Show ultimately reigned supreme over World Heavyweight Champion Kane, thanks in part to the maniacal actions of Edge.
Prior to the match, Kane could not find Paul Bearer. He did, however, find his fathers mystical urn and definite signs of a struggle.
When it looked as if The Big Red Monster was about to chokeslam his gigantic adversary for the victory, Edge emerged with Paul Bearer in tow, tied to a wheelchair, hysterical with fear. As The Master Manipulator threatened to push The Father of Destruction off the top of the ramp, The Worlds Largest Athlete used the distraction to chokeslam his horrific opponent for the win.
Dashing Cody Rhodes taunted the WWE Universe in Manchester (WATCH | PHOTOS) Dashing Cody Rhodes came before the Manchester crowd to school them on their alleged bad teeth and general lack of hygiene. However, The WWE Universe was not impressed with Rhodes advice.
Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler def. MVP in an Intercontinental Championship Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Last week, MVP became the No. 1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship with a whirlwind Triple Threat Match victory over Dashing Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre.
This week despite the noticeable absence of his girlfriend, Vickie Guerrero, at ringside Dolph Ziggler overcame The Franchise Playas challenge with the Zig Zag, after the referee failed to see MVPs leg on the ropes.
David Otunga def. Edge in a Lumberjack Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) On Monday Night Raw, Wade Barrett informed David Otunga that if he lost to Edge on SmackDown, he would be excommunicated from The Nexus. But, The Ultimate Opportunist would not be an easy mark, as he searched for momentum just nine days before challenging World Heavyweight Champion Kane for the title at Survivor Series. (Match preview)
From the beginning of the high-stakes match, the SmackDown Lumberjacks wasted little time neutralizing The Nexus Lumberjacks, clearing the way for the home team to have its way with Otunga any time he was outside the ring.
In the matchs climactic moments just when Edge looked ready to hit the Spear on the A-Lister World Heavyweight Champion Kane emerged, blasting his No. 1 contender with the chokeslam. While the referee was distracted, Otunga picked up the win.
Natalya def. self-professed Co-Divas Champion Layla in a Non-Title Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Nine days before she will face both members of Team Lay-Cool for the Divas Title at Survivor Series (match preview), Natalya scored a huge non-title victory over Layla, making one-half of the self-professed Co-Divas Champions tap out to the Sharpshooter.
Alberto Del Rio def. Kofi Kingston (WATCH | PHOTOS) After escaping Trouble in Paradise, Alberto Del Rio made Kofi Kingston tap out to the cross armbreaker. Following the match, however, the aristocratic Superstar was treated to a surprise 619, compliments of Rey Mysterio.
SmackDowns Official Consultant Vickie Guerrero made a Lumberjack Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) In charge of SmackDown in General Manager Theodore Longs absence, Vickie Guerrero was determined to keep control of Friday night, despite the presence of The Nexus. With that in mind, Guerrero added a lumberjack stipulation to the match between Edge and David Otunga. She also proclaimed that Otungas Nexus cohorts and the entire SmackDown locker room would serve as lumberjacks.
When Guerrero demanded that Edge shake Otungas hand in the spirit of English sportsmanship, the nine-time World Champion followed the gesture up by Spearing his impending foe off the ring apron and onto his fellow Nexus members.
Yoshi Tatsu def. Zack Ryder Ezekiel Jackson def. Primo Drew McIntyre def. Kaval
Dont know where to catch WWE Superstars? Find WGN America in your area. Can't see WWE Superstars on WGN America in your area? Stay with WWE.com for full results, photos and video clips of all the action.
Drew McIntyre def. Kaval (WATCH | PHOTOS) Kaval just cant seem to make it happen. Since winning the competitive second season of WWE NXT, the talented grappler has been unable to score a win as a WWE Superstar. The Brooklyn, N.Y., natives woes continued tonight as he locked up with the sinister Drew McIntyre in a hard-hitting match that saw both brawlers pulling out everything in their arsenal to stop the other man. But, in the end, it was the Scottish Superstars Future Shock DDT which scored the victory and delivered Kaval yet another loss.
Ezekiel Jackson def. Primo (WATCH | PHOTOS) Theres a thin line between brave and stupid and Primo crossed it tonight. Assuming the Puerto Rican Superstar had watched Ezekiel Jacksons match against Zack Ryder from last Mondays Raw, he had to know he was walking into a war zone. Still, the WWE NXT season three Pro didnt seem intimidated as he stepped in the ring with the 300-plus-pound Harlem, N.Y., native. Primos arrogance did him no favors as he was completely obliterated by Big Zeke and slammed into the mat for a devastating loss.
Yoshi Tatsu def. Zack Ryder (WATCH | PHOTOS) As two of Raws youngest Superstars, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder are both hungry to work their way up the card, so each competitor was desperate to pick up the win tonight. For The Long Island Loudmouth, this meant pulling out every underhanded trick in the book in attempt to steal a victory. But the rambunctious Tatsu relied on his snap speed and devastating kicks to incapacitate his opponent and roll him up for the 1-2-3.
X-Pac talks about a DX reunion and the PG DX Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 11/11/2010 at 04:37 PM
Former WWE & TNA star Sean "X-Pac" Waltman went on Twitter yesterday and said he's working on getting a DX reunion together. Waltman wrote:
"Im working on getting a tour of Europe w/a DX Reunion of Myself & The New Age Outlaws. Any reputable promoters interested, FB mesg me."
When asked by a Twitter follower how he'd be able to promote a DX reunion when WWE owns the rights to the DX trademarks, Waltman replied:
"Well .....Who cares? There would have no longer been a DX when Shawn quit after losing to Austin. We were the real degenerates."
Later, he spoke about the most recent incarnation of DX (Shawn Michaels, Triple H and all that bad comedy):
"Everyone already had that watered down version of a dx reunion. Not HHH & Shawns fault though .. I just mean that the content was watered down because of the whole PG thing. No disrespect. I love them both dearly."
William Regal updates fans on his future Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 11/11/2010 at 12:23 PM
William Regal posted the following on his Twitter account:
"I'm having a great tour and wrestling Daniel Bryan has made me realize that unless I can keep up to that standard it's possibly time for me to start winding down," Regal wrote.
"I said it might be my last tour the other day not that it was. I would like to continue with quality and not quantity."
TNA Impact Results Aired On: November 11, 2010 Report by: Stuart Carapola & PWInsider.com
We open the show with a video package reliving the events of Turning Point as Fortune defeated EV2.0 and sent Sabu packing, Abyss paid off the Congregation to turn on the Pope, and Jeff Hardy defeated Matt Morgan to retain the TNA World Title.
We head to the Impact Zone as Immortal (minus Jeff Hardy) makes their way out to the ring for our standard, show-opening promo. Bischoff opens by assuring us that Immortal loves all of us from the bottom of his heart, and introduces all the members of the group: Abyss, who outsmarted Pope and out-Congregationed the Congregation, Jeff Jarrett (who put on an MMA clinic and is the whole reason were here), and then AJ Styles says that at the end of the day, its all about Fortune, and now Sabu is pointing to the sky in the unemployment line. AJ says hes going to send another one of them home tonight when he cripples Stevie Richards. Bischoff takes the mic back and says the biggest moment of the night was the first title defense of the TNA/Immortal World Champion, Jeff Hardy! Speaking of the champion, here he comes now, and he gets in the ring and shakes hands with the entire group before grabbing the mic to address the crowd. He says that Turning Point was the coming out party for himself as he annihilated Matt Morgan and left his dreams with the invisibility of the wind. Crowd starts chanting overrated at Hardy, and Hardy says hes not overrated, he is the Chosen One and drank from the holy cup of Hulkamania, and will now and forever be Immortal. Bischoff says the night is about the get more exciting because we have a special guest, and its the one and only TRUE IMMORTAL, Hulk Hogan! Here comes the Hulkster himself, and hes got the NWO beard going. Crowd starts a Hogan chant as Jeff hands him the microphone and steps to the back respectfully. Hogan says when he came to TNA to run the company, the one thing he requested and had to have was Ric Flair, because without Ric Flair, you just dont have a wrestling company. Hes spent the weeks chasing leads and deals, and hes been taking care of the next big thing for Immortal, and Ric Flairs done a great job keeping everything together here, and the bar that he raised caused everyone else to step up or get out. Now that theyve got Immortal working like clockwork, hes got a surprise for the champ. The lights go out, and the WWE Divas Title belt lowers from the ceiling. Oh wait, my mistake, its a new custom title belt designed specifically for Jeff Hardy that just LOOKS like the Divas Title. Hogan takes the old title belt and hands the new one to Hardy, and now that hes drank from the cup of Hulkamania, he is Immortal, and the belt represents everlasting life because he is the greatest wrestler of all time. Hogans says hes not used to taking out the trash, but in this case, Dixie Carter and her whole wrestling company are represented by that belt (which he takes and drops in a trash can Fortune brought to the ring with them), and if theres anyone left who wants to fight Immortal, then the only thing they can still do, its drop to their knees and pray.
Suddenly, Popes music hits and hes out in the Congregation. You know, the same folks who turned on him at Turning Point. Bischoff asks him what he wants, and Pope says that the prayers of the Congregation have been answered because Pope has arrived. Crowd starts chanting for Pope, and Pope tells Easy E that after what he pulled at Turning Point by paying off his family, he has a casket that was meant for Abyss, but hes going to take Bischoffs over the hill behind, put it in the casket, and push the casket over the edge of the ramp, and watch him crash and burn, and theres nothing Bischoff can do about it. Now Samoa Joes music hits and hes standing at the top of the ramp, and he tells Immortal that the Pope isnt their only problem tonight. Joe hasnt forgotten what Jarrett, Gunner, and Murphy did to him, and he thinks its cute that Jarrett thinks hes a shootfighter, but tells Jarrett to get in the ring and play shootfighter with him, because its going to take more than his new hillbilly girlfriends to put him down. Hey, now RVDs music hits, and he comes out from the other ramp to tell Eric that all the fun hes been having at his expense is over, because after he found out that EV2.0 is the family he always knew it was, it became clear that he only ever had one friend shallow enough to completely sell out because he wanted something that was his. RVD looks at Hardy holding the title that RVD never lost, and he takes great comfort in the knowledge that Jeff knows that one day, hes going to have to face him in the ring, and he wants that match tonight so that he can leave the TNA World Champion. You knew there was going to be one more, and here comes Matt Morgan. He says he means no disrespect to RVD but he wants another match with Hardy first. He says Jeff calls himself the World Champion, but hes not a champion because he exposed him in the middle of the ring at Turning Point and, given the opportunity, hell expose Hardys ass again. Morgan knows he cant but the real heat on Hardy because he knows Hogan is the one whos really pulling the strings. Hogan tells him that hes barking up the wrong tree, and Morgan says he worshipped Hogan as a kid because of his integrity, and thats the whole reason hes on this stage tonight. But looks at Hogan now: wheres the fight? Wheres the never say die attitude? Wheres his balls? Because if he had any, hed stand up and fight them. Hogan says if he wants a fight, thats what hes going to get, because he, Ric Flair (who he calls the greatest wrestler of all time, contradicting his own comments about Hardy earlier), and Eric Bischoff are going to the back to formulate their battle plan. But he wants Morgan to be careful what he wishes for because he just might get it and he can take that to the bank BROTHER.
Okay, now with that nearly half hour long OPENING PROMO out of the way, were at commercial.
Hogan and Bischoff are backstage trying to decide if they believe Morgan, and Flair says that after 30 years its hard to become Immortal without being great. Hogan says while he was gone, he was sitting home and realized how ignorant Matt Morgan is because he was getting booed, and now hes trying to be the savior of TNA. Flair says he just wanted to come out and kiss Hogans ass, and Hogan says if they want a war theyre going to get one. Hogan says hes going to make Samoa Joe vs Gunner & Murphy, Rob Van Dam vs Frankie Kazarian and if RVD beats Kazarian, hell become the number one contender. Hogan also makes Matt Morgan vs Beer Money & Doug Williams, and Flair says that the faces really just want to join Immortal. Flair says Hogan needs to check out some of the new talent around TNA, and they leave the room while Bischoff sits there laughing over how awesome Hogan and Flair are.
Robbie E and Cookie are backstage, and Cookie says that Robbie E took care of Jay Lethal at Turning Point, and she wants Taylor Wilde to know that she may not be a wrestler, but shes from Jersey and knows how to fight.
That leads us to the ring for our opening match
Jay Lethal & Taylor Wilde vs The Shore
Cookie looks really unhappy to be wrestling here, which flies completely in the face of the promo we JUST SAW. But what do I know? Looks like we spent so much time with Hogan, Flair, and Bischoff that we ran out of time in this segment. Were at commercial.
Were back, and Robbie and Cookie are out on the floor running from Lethal and Wilde, and Robbie suckerpunches Lethal and tosses him back in the ring. Lethal quickly turns it around and fires back with some stiff chops to Robbie, but Cookie drags Robbie out to the floor and relative safety. The Shore stalls for more time out on the floor until Cookie orders Robbie back into the ring. Robbie hesitates, so Lethal just hiptosses him back in the ring and chops him again, and Robbie scurries to the corner and the loving embrace of Cookie. Lethal tags in Taylor Wilde, so Robbie tags Cookie in, and she literally runs away from Taylor and tags Robbie in. Robbie menaces Taylor, but doesnt notice Lethal climbing the ropes until he hits him with a flying bodypress for 2. Cookie comes in and grabs Lethals ankle, and that allows Robbie to nail Lethal from behind, but Lethal barely registers before taking Robbie over with an armdrag and then bars the arm. Cookie distracts Lethal and Taylor goes after Cookie, but as the ref takes what felt like ten minutes to escort Taylor out of the ring, Robbie takes nine and a half of those minutes to finally decide to pull Lethals hair. The referee, still with his back turned, completely misses both Robbie and Cookie putting the boots to Lethal. Cookie holds Lethal and Robbie charges, Lethal moves and Robbie nearly hits Cookie, but stops short and turns around right into the Lethal Combination. Cookie jumps on Lethals back and Lethal no-sells, so Cookie tries a kick to the gut and Lethal catches the boot and signals for Taylor to come in. Cookie slips out of her boot and runs out to the floor and Taylor chases her around ringside, and while the ref is busy watching them, Robbie takes Cookies boot and knocks Lethal out with it for the win while Taylor chases Cookie into the ring and runs right past Lethal without thinking to break up the pin.
Winners: The Shore
We go to a video package looking at the history of the Team 3D-Motor City Machine Guns match, and then we go to Team 3D backstage, where theyre WALKING!
We head back out to the Impact Zone, where Team 3D make their way to the ring to address the fans. Bubba puts over the match at Turning Point and theyre proud that they helped pave the way for all the other teams in TNA and they made tag team wrestling in TNA mean something. However, its time for everything to come to an end and theyre glad they got to go out against the Guns, and the only words they can possible say to everyone is thank you very much. Devon says that whether theyve loved or hated them, theyve always showed 3D respect and he wants to thank them, because without the fans there would be on Team 3D. Its time to move on because theyve done everything there is to do, and Bubba wants to go become a rock star and Devon has twin boys that hes going to turn into the next Team 3D, so for the final and last time, he says Without any further ado oh my brother, TESTIFY! 3Ds music hits and they embrace in the middle of the ring, but out of nowhere Bubba nails Devon from behind and stands there glaring at him, and as Devon tries to get up, Bubba just kicks him back down and shakes his head at him.
We come back from commercial and take a look at MOMENTS AGO as Brother Ray turned on Brother Devon. We go to Mike and Taz, and Mike asks Taz if he had any idea this was coming, and Taz said he had no clue and didnt think anyone did.
Still to come: AJ Styles defends the TV Title against Stevie Richards, Matt Morgan takes on Beer Money & Doug Williams, and RVD faces Frankie Kazarian for a shot at the TNA World Title.
We go backstage to Eric Bischoffs office as Bischoff chews out the referees for assigning a punk kid to referee the main event at Turning Point. Bischoff says they embarrassed him at the PPV, and the kid referee says its not the Hebners fault, it was his fault and hell take the blame. Matt Morgan comes in and yells at Bischoff for getting on the kids case, and says he should do the right thing and appoint him the referee for his match against Fortune tonight. Bischoff says hes got it, and tells the referee to do his freakin job.
Back to the ring
Gunner & Murphy vs Samoa Joe
Gunner & Murphy jump Joe before the bell and Joe tries to fight back, but the numbers are against him and they continue pummeling Joe in the corner, Murphy hitting a running Yakuza Kick in the corner and Gunner with a running high knee. Joe comes back on Gunner and hits an exploder suplex, but Gunner made a blind tag to Murphy. Murphy tries to jump Joe from behind, but Joe nails him and hits a leaping enziguiri, then hits a Muscle Buster on Murphy and thats all she wrote.
Winner: Samoa Joe
Murphy nails Joe from behind, but Joe no-sells and starts beating the crap out of Murphy and chokes him out. Jeff Jarrett comes in behind Joe while hes choking Murphy and nails him with a nightstick, and then all three guys put the boots to Joe and Jarrett puts the Ankle Lock on Joe. Suddenly, Kurt Angle comes out of the crowd and suplexes both Gunner and Murphy, and Jarrett turns around and freezes in shock at the sight of Angle before bailing out of the ring and dashing up the ramp to safety. Angle helps Joe up and they stare Jarrett down from the ring.
Immortal is backstage and theyre unhappy with what just happened, and Flair said he doesnt know whats up with Gunner and Murphy and says theyre done. Bischoff says they need to get Angle out of here, and leaves with Abyss to go take care of Angle.
We come back from commercial, and Bischoff tells the camera crew to stick with him so they can get video proof that Angle is there. He goes into the mens room and makes fun of someone in the stall for stinking up the mens room, perhaps thinking it was Angle, but instead the Pope comes out of the stall, punches Bischoff in the gut, then opens another stall that contains Abyss and beats him down, then grabs Bischoff and drags him out of the mens room.
Frankie Kazarian vs Rob Van Dam
Before the match, we are told that Rhinos contract expired and Hogan and Bischoff chose not to renew him. Kazarian attacks Van Dam before the bell and delivers a big hiptoss. Van Dam fires back, but Kazarian goes to the eyes and comes off the ropes but gets sent into the corner and takes a HUGE monkey flip, and then gets sent across the ring for another, even HUGER monkey flip. RVD follows that up with a cartwheel into a moonsault for 2, then repeatedly rams a shoulder into Kazarians ribs in the corner and gets a springboard jump kick to Kazarian. Van DAm with a boot to the face sends Kazarian staggering, but Kazarian dodges a charge and goes up top, but hits a flying bodypress and wipes out both Van Dam and the referee. Van Dam catches Kazarians boot and gets the stepover spinkick, and Ric Flair comes down to ringside with a chair. Rhino comes out and runs right past Flair and into the ring where he just kind of stands there staring at both guys before hitting the Gore on Van Dam, allowing Kazarian to cover him and get the win.
Winner: Frankie Kazarian
Rhino stands in the ring over RVD, and Tommy Dreamer runs in and yells at him and tells him to leave the ring. Rhino starts to leave but then, predictably, grabs a chair and lays Dreamer out with it.
We go backstage to where Pope has dragged Bischoff off to the catacombs of the Impact Zone and is furious at Bischoff for buying off his family. He puts a gold chain and sunglasses on Bischoff since he wants to be Pope and Bischoff feverishly tries to apologize, but Pope tells him to shut up and puts a skincap on Bischoffs head and tells him to rap. Bischoff tries some weak shizzle nizzle stuff, but Pope tells him to shut up and drags him off camera again.
Hogan and Abyss are in Hogans office and Hogan asks Abyss why this is happening and why he let Bischoff out of his sight. Hogan sends Abyss to go rescue Bischoff and rip Popes head off if he sees him.
Back to the ring
TV Title Match: AJ Styles vs Stevie Richards
Stevie attacks AJ from behind during his entrance and rolls him in the ring, and were at commercial.
Were back, and the bell rings to officially start the match as Stevie backdrops AJ for 2, then clotheslines him to the floor. Richards goes out after him, but AJ runs back in the ring and kicks Stevie coming in, then hits a springboard moonsault for 2. AJ works Stevie over in the corner, then hits a snapmare and a neck vice, and Stevie escapes and goes for a dropkick, but AJ dodges and Stevie crashes to the mat, and AJ hits a series of elbowdrops and we HIT THE CHINLOCK! Stevie fights out, but AJ catches him coming off the ropes with his SWEET dropkick for 2. AJ chops Stevie in the corner and gouges Stevies face, and Stevie backdrops AJ to the apron but AJ hits him with a forearm from behind. Stevie suddenly comes back with a ton of fire, hitting elbows and clotheslines and gets a 2 count. Stevie goes up for the ten punch count, then gets a hard forearm and charges AJ in the corner, but AJ moves and Stevie hangs himself up in the corner and collapses to the mat. AJ goes out to the apron and comes back in with a springboard something, but Stevie catches him coming down with the Stevie Kick and goes for the cover, but AJ gets his foot on the rope at the last possible moment. Stevie goes for the Stevie Bomb, but YOU CANT POWERBOMB AJ! He slips through and hits the Styles Clash, but instead of dropping him flat, he drops him on the back of his neck and it looks REALLY ugly. AJ covers and gets the win.
Winner: AJ Styles
We see a replay and it looks even nastier than the first time.
Backstage, Pope brings Eric Bischoff over to the casket, punches him in the gut, delivers an uppercut, and dumps Bischoff in the casket, which he then wheels out of the room.
We head out to the Impact Zone as Pope wheels the casket out to ringside, but Abyss comes out of nowhere and blindsides Pope, then opens the casket and tries to revive Bischoff. Pope nails Abyss from behind, closes the casket, then goes back to pummeling Abyss and puts the boots to him. Pope slams Abyss into the casket and continues beating on him, but Bischoff finally wakes up and gets out of the casket and lowblows Pope, and now Abyss is able to lay Pope out and then stuff him in the casket. Abyss and Bischoff close the lid and then Abyss turns the casket around and rams it through the stage. Bischoff then goes over and lays repeated kicks into the poor, defenseless casket as Abyss looks in the camera and says he warned us.
After commercial, we come back and its main event time!
Matt Morgan vs Doug Williams & Beer Money
Fortune attacks Morgan before the bell, but he goes through all three of them and goozles Beer Money, but Williams clips his knee and they put the boots to Morgan. Williams leglocks Morgan, then tags in Roode, who hits a series of elbowdrops to the knee, then tags in Storm and they split the wishbone on Morgans legs. Williams tags back in and horse collars the leg, but Morgan fights out so Williams drags Morgan to the apron and slams his knee on the apron, then distracts the ref while Flair gets a couple of shots in from the floor. Storm with a figure four in the middle of the ring, but Morgan reverses the hold and forces the break. Eric Bischoff comes out to the announce table and gets on the air and says hes had it and Matt Morgan better come out on top tonight because if he doesnt, hes never going to get another shot at Jeff Hardy again. Roode gets Morgan in a Boston Crab as Bischoff says this has crossed the line between personal and professional and pounds his fist on the desk. Roode puts the boots to Morgan, but Morgan pops up and hits a discus clothesline and wipes out Roode. Roode tags in Williams and Morgan runs him over with a series of clotheslines and then knocks Storm off the apron. Morgan with a big boot to Roode and hits a charging splash in the corner on Williams, followed by a side suplex for 2. Beer Money run in and double team Morgan and try a double suplex, but Morgan reverses and suplexes both Storm and Roode. Flair pops up on the ring apron as we run out of time on Impact.
Luckily, TNA has a whole other hour right after Impact, so we come right back to Morgan punching Flair off the apron, but Williams nails Morgan with a series of European Uppercuts and comes off the ropes with a crossbody, but Morgan catches him and hits a fallaway slam. Flair and Beer Money leave the ringside area and walk up to the top of the rampway, leaving Williams alone with Morgan. One Carbon Footprint later and Morgan earns himself a rematch for the TNA World Title.
Winner: Matt Morgan
Jeff Hardy comes up on the video wall and cuts a promo on Morgan, but it was prerecorded, and the real Jeff Hardy runs out and attacks Morgan from behind and hits the Twist Of Hate, then goes up top and hits a Swanton. Jeff grabs the World Title belt and holds it high for everyone to see, and thats a wrap.
Injury updates on Undertaker, Punk, Mysterio Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 11/10/2010 at 06:20 PM

- Undertaker is currently recovering from surgery this past week to repair a torn rotator cuff. It is still uncertain if he'll be healthy enough to appear at Wrestlemania 27.
- CM Punk is going to rehab his torn muscle tendon in his glute rather than go through surgery, so he will likely return in January.
- Rey Mysterio appeared on the WWE European tour despite being injured due of the lack of talent depth on the Smackdown roster.
