I still remember that last crazy ladder match with the Hardyz and MNM

Was that the one when his partner caught that ladder to the face?

Just a little info:

For those who asked, new ECW on SyFy backstage interviewer Courtney Taylor is WWE developmental Diva Beverly Mullins, who was working under the ring name Wesley Holliday. She had been working as a valet for Alex Riley in recent months and the pair had several dark matches at WWE TV tapings.

SmackDown!:

Smackdown starts with a six man tag Mysterio and Cryme Tyme vs. Jericho, Show, and Ziggler. Ziggler pins Mysterio with an assist from Show. Said to be a really good match with a hot crowd.

Sit down interview with Matt Hardy. He apologizes for everything and Jeff accepted.

Kane promo. Typical Kane promo. Khali has compassion he doesn't. Blah blah. Khali runs out and beats on Kane a bit before he bails.

Knox vs. Finlay is next. Finlay wins by DQ when Knox doesn't break at 5. Afterward Knox destroys Finlay with the ringsteps...Jeff Hardy promo up next.

Hardy says he was advised by doctors to retire but he won't. Punk interrupts and says Summerslam will be Hardy's last match. Hardy gives Punk The Twist of Fate.

Maria and Melina vs. Layla and Natalya is next. Melina pins Natalya with a sunset flip.

Mysterio promo with Matthews followed by JR and Todd Grisham running down the Summerslam card.

Hardys/John Morrison vs. CM Punk/Hart Dynasty. Hardys come out to their old music and titantron for their entrance. Matt gets the fall on CM Punk. Nice match. Hardys and Morrison celebrate after. No shenanigans.

The WWE Breaking Point PPV will feature submission only matches for the main event matches only, not the entire card.

Can anyone with knowledge help me out here? And is WWE always this misleading?

Got a call from my boy who says RAW is coming to town (St Paul) Sept 5th for the first time in five years and we gotta go. So of course I get amped and thenlook at ticketmaster and sure enough RAW is coming but I notice that date is on a Saturday. So I then figure well maybe they are going overseas after and aretaping this one for Monday Night.

Then however I pull up WWE's schedule for that weekend, straight from their website:

FRI, SEPT 4, Sioux Falls Arena, Sioux Falls, SD - WWE Presents RAW Live
SAT, SEPT 5, Xcel Center, St. Paul, MN - WWE Presents RAW Live
SUN, SEPT 6, Alliant Energy Center, Madison, WI - WWE Presents RAW Live
MON, SEPT 7, Allstate Arena, Rosemount, IL - WWE Presents: Monday Night RAW

Have they always been this misleading with essentially their house shows (which I assume we are getting in St Paul)? Ya I'm obviously late

It's a RAW brand house show.

Rey unmasked at a bar:

Matt Hardy, Eve, Layla, and Rey Mysterio all went out to a bar last night after the SmackDown! tapings. You can see a photo of the stars last night including a brand new pic of Mysterio unmasked at http://wzronline.com/2009/08/19/exclusive-rey-mysterio-unmasked-at-a-bar-last-night/

WWE attempts to copyright:

WWE is trying to trademark the "Celtic Warrior" name for Sheamus, but in a possible cause of conflict, UFC fighter Marcus Davis has prior usage to it. The name was popularized in the 1990s by Irish boxer Steve Collins.

Eugene's release:

While not a whole lot still remains known regarding WWE cutting Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore on Friday, it isn't believed to be over a drug test failure as the company didn't indicate anything of the sort when announcing he was cut. According to various WWE sources, the feeling is that since he showed up to last Monday's Raw taping in Calgary looking very out of shape that a decision was made (most likely by Vince McMahon) to get rid of him right away. He had just been hired back about a month ago.

While this might sound surprising to some, Vince is pretty big on first impressions. For instance, his first impression of Takeshi Morishima following a tryout match a year ago this week killed any possible interest in signing him. An issue of Power Slam noted the following: "August 19: Still on the warpath, Vince claims two more victims: he basically says Morishima looks like a giant, fat girl and that Laurinaitis was wasting his time by hyping such a s colourless and podgy wrestler. Vince also sagely notes that because fellow Japanese name Kenzo Suzuki tanked in WWE, obviously Morishima was likely to be a failure as well - solely on the basis of their shared ethnicity."

Reportedly, the WWE creative team wanted to get Eugene on television very quickly, so the fact that he was released after his first appearance adds further credence to the theory given.

Too bad actual skill was not taken into account when ranking the top spot.

 

[D Fly]

I love using Tanahashi in Fire Pro Returns..dude is sick.

 

[nimo007]

Sad to see A J Styles no where on that list... TNA continues to bury their only star IMHO.


TNA gets alot of criticism and they do deserve it at times but, I'm happy for Matt Morgan and THE POPE (soon to be my favorite TNA wrestler

), thatthose two were given a chance.

 

[masterhammy23]

I believe the DVD is coming out next Tuesday

 

[chino905]

damn i think i'm going to have to pick up that wCw dvd.

And I just ordered the Bret Hart book, and the Jericho book. I hope both will be a great read.

 

[nimo007]

Damn that DVD is tempting to buy, Nitro in the mid/late 90's > RAW at that time.
