Their will be a tournament to decide. Kane will face Finlay and Batista will face Mysterio. The winners of those two matches will face each other. Teddy then says, lets not wait until next week, lets get it started now!

Matt Hardy was in the match the whole time and got dominated. MVP got the tag and through Hardy out of the ring and MVP got the win. So we have new tag-team champions. After the match MVP was in the ring celebrating with both titles while Matt looks on from the outside.

Vince McMahon Segment

Vince comes to the ring with coach. Just like on Monday, Coach says he has a list of people Vince has slept with and he would like to bring them out. The first girl that comes out is from New York. Her name is Sheryl. Vince says he remembers that night because she is hot.

Next Coach brings out a 3-girls from Connecticut. He said he had a 3-some with them and he remembers them because it was New Years of 1997. Vince says he remembers that night because they are hot. He said he brought in the new years with a big bang.

Another female comes out by the name of Sister Merry. She is dressed like a nun. Sister Merry gets on the mic and says “Our one night together, who could ever satisfy me in the way you did in 1991 in the parking lot.” Vince says Merry gave her a new direction for church.

After that, Vince says next Monday on RAW, he has to confront the other members of the McMahon Family and he is not worried.

I just watched RAW, not too bad. The Triple H segment was funny - I forgot how good the guy is on MIC. Let's hope for a heel turn A.S.A.P.

WWE news and notes

SummerSlam dark match was Cade & Murdoch beating London & Kendrick to retain the WWE Tag Titles

Vince was approached with the idea of doing a pro-wrestling off season a few times in the past couple months and completely blew it off every time.

Brian Gewirtz, the head writer of Raw, was at the ROH show in New York this past weekend. He really loves Delirious' character and has pushed for WWE to sign him. Whether anything comes of it, who knows. Gewirtz attends a lot of the shows in the area.

Johnny Ace has brought up the name Sid Vicious. I would guess that's a real long-shot. Ace and Vicious had heat for years because Ace was the agent in WWE that suggested Sid try the kick from the middle rope at the Sin PPV on January 14, 2001, a move which resulted in him very graphically shattering his tibia and fibula. That was pretty much the end of his career, though, in his mid-40s, he's done a couple of shows here and there in recent years and is said to be moving around all right. Ace was at an indy show this weekend that featured Vicious vs. Jerry Lawler.

Jamie Noble has gotten praise recently for speaking up during producer's meetings (he's working as an agent for the Cruiserweight division now) and giving different ideas for finishes and angles. There is a concern that finishes are getting too repetitive (Vince blew off the ideas for Orton beating Cena, if you'll recall), but of course the problem is that it's hard not to be repetitive when you have to book fifteen or so finishes a week 52 weeks a year.

The company is considering adding new original programming to WWE 24/7. There have been a number of ideas discussed, everything from "completely sleaze", whatever that means, to reality shows featuring the legends. In other words, poor knockoffs of Hogan Knows Best. I think that idea works if you have the right legends. If you have a guy with an awesome personality it's easy. If you don't, I can imagine it being wretched television.

Von Lilas of Derby City Wrestling didn't feel very good at class last Monday and ended up in the hospital two days later. He was apparently 30 minutes from having his appendix burst. It was removed and he'll be recovering for awhile.

The angle with John Cena's father will likely continue. Cena Sr., who has worked as manager Johnny Fabulous for Chaotic Wrestling in the Northeast for many years, has wanted a spot in WWE forever. Both Cena Jr. and Vince actually showed up at a Chaotic event a few months back as unbilled surprises. Cena ended up laying Vince out with an FU, then Vince bailed out the back door and left. You can imagine the reaction that got. Using Cena Sr. has been discussed for a long, long time, but Vince realized that you can only do the big angle with the father once (they've done minor angles in the past). Cena also has a brother that could also ultimately get involved.

Johnny Ace wanted a meeting with Takeshi Morishima when Morishima was in New York this past weekend. He's very high on him. NOAH put the ixnay on it, citing loyalty to Ring of Honor. That should give you an idea of how tight NOAH and ROH are, because in the grand scheme of the universe it seems insane to favor ROH over WWE. WWE had approached Morishima a year or so ago when he was down training at Harley Race's school. People had heard that he was potentially a new Terry Gordy, and there was interest in putting him on ECW since Masato Tanaka and Tajiri fell through. Ace pursued it, but NOAH shot it down then as well. All of this also seems to indicate that NOAH plans on him being a major player for the next several years.

Regarding the story of testing to see how Jim Ross would do with someone besides Jerry Lawler in the booth, the original plan was to team him up with JBL, but he was out of the country with his wife and Tazz got the nod.

MVP is cleared to wrestle, and in fact has been wrestling on the house shows. In other words, he wasn't pulled from SummerSlam for health reasons. They wanted to keep moving forward with his Matt Hardy competition gimmick, including the tag title match against the Greasers this week, so they didn't need to do the PPV match yet.

WWE 24/7 sounds horrible. Sid Vicious needs to STAY away from WWE, too.

[mangle]

I didnt expect the Tag Team thing on SD :S

[Slash]

WrestlingObserver.com reported Thursday afternoon that World Wrestling Entertainment suspended ten wrestlers.

The suspensions were reportedly in response to information WWE received from the Office of the Albany County District Attorney in New York. While specific details are not available, WrestlingObserver.com notes that the information likely provided proven connections between the wrestlers and one of the Internet pharmaceutical companies linked to steroid distribution.

WWE had, at press time, not revealed the names suspended--with ten names out, however, some of their identities should become clear very soon.

Beginning in November, WWE will publicly reveal the identities of all wrestlers who fail drug tests.

Dam you beat me to it. At least know it seem like wwe have learned from there mistakes with the passing of Eddie Duerrero and Chirs Benoit and know they are clamping down on drug use etc.
I wouldn't be suprised if it was Rey Mysterio and Triple H on the list becuase of there rehabilitation and a few old guys like Flair, Dreamer and Sandman also muscliy superstairs suck as Chris Masters. He has been in rehab before becuase of his addiction to pain killers

[-Wolverine]

Oh man that sucks that 10 will be off WWE tv for a while. Here's an article that lists 11 people were clients of the guy who gave steroids to Chris Benoit.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/20...g_scandal.html

- Randy Orton
- Charles Haas, Jr.
- Adam "Edge" Copeland
- Robert "Booker T" Huffman
- Shane Helms - Gregory Helms
- Anthony "Santino Marella" Carelli
- John "John Morrison" Hennigan
- Darren "William Regal" Matthews
- Ken "Mr. Kennedy" Anderson
- Chavo Guerrero
- Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci

Man all the storylines are gonna be messed up if those 5 guys are suspended, but these people just could be clients and never got steroids, so it doesnt necessarily mean that these people are suspended.

edit: Espn put an article up listing more people as clients:

Shoichi Funaki, Chris Mordetsky (Masters), and the one and only Dave Bautista (Batista).

Wow how are they going to do smackdown without Batista.

[Simmzay]

Ten wrestlers? That's insane. As much as it is good news from a moral standpoint, if they went and suspended talented wrestlers it could severely damage the product. Especially if the post above me is correct.

It could also damage the product if they didn't suspend them.
