DX beat Legacy. Long intro spiel from Hunter and Shawn for this match, which really got the crowd going. Easily the biggest reaction of the night thus far.

Rourke Wants WWE Return

klqadmin@gmail.com (Kaliqo) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:00:39 PST

The Hollywood legend had wanted to compete in a bout at WrestleMania 25 against former world champion Chris Jericho. But a clause in the contract for his next movie meant he was only allowed a quick knockout punch after Chris's regular match on the show. Many fans and critics branded that ending 'cheesy', especially after the former pro-boxer had promised to throw Jericho "around the ring like a tossed salad".

New book Wrestling With Demonsreveals how bosses of forthcoming superhero flick Iron Man 2 banned Rourke from competing in the WWE showpiece amid concerns he would injure himself and delay filming. The Golden Globe winner was then left disappointed with the outcome of his Mania appearance, because he wanted to show off the wrestling moves he learned for his Oscar nominated performance as bruised and battered wrestler Randy 'The Ram' Robinson...More?

klqadmin@gmail.com (Kaliqo) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:53:31 PST

Kevin Nash issued a statement concerning his suspension from TNA resulting from comments he made during an iMPACT! taping. Nash was upset that production didn't stop when Chris Sabin suffering a concussion on the set:

"Thought I would clear up some internet bullsh**. The reason I did not receive a letter from T.N.A was because this matter was discussed between President Dixie Carter and myself. I promise you it cost me money not a paid vacation at my beach home. I understand Dixie's reason for the action she has taken but stand by my reaction to what at the time appeared a serious neck injury to [Sabin]."

DX and John Cena beat Legacy. HHH said the crowd was welcome to slap the ring announcer for the lousy microphone, and the music guy because he played Cena's music before HBK got to do his "If you're not down with that" bit.

Overall a good show. Top cheers definitely go to Cena, DX, Mark Henry and Kofi Kingston. Best heel heat has to go to The Miz and Sheamus...More?

Stephanie McMahon and WWE Creative

klqadmin@gmail.com (Kaliqo) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:10:59 PST

Ask any WWE fan what’s wrong with the company today and you will get a multitude of answers – nothing, over-pushing of “Super Cena”, repetitive storylines, same-old same-old on top of the heap, too much puerile comedy, not enough wrestling and so on and so forth. Ask anyone who is responsible for everything that’s wrong with the company today and two names come up with almost monotonous regularity: Triple H and his wife, Stephanie McMahon-Levesque. It’s the latter of the two that I want to examine in this column. Stephanie has had almost a lifetime of the WWE and she has played, and continues to play, major roles in its history and development, both on-screen and off. Over the years she has been accused of all sorts of things, from the obvious charge of nepotism to outright killing the business. Where, then, does the truth lie?...More?
