John Cena Says He Wants To End Undertaker's WM Streak

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:50:15 +0000

In an interview with Moviefone.com to promote his new movie "Legendary," RAW superstar John Cena commented on a potential showdown with The Undertaker at WrestleMania next year.

Moviefone asked Cena in an interview, "What's the next challenge for you: winning an Oscar or trying to end the Undertaker's undefeated WrestleMania streak?" Cena said he wants to challenge the Undertaker at WrestleMania and be the man to end the infamous streak.

Cena was asked about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's success in Hollywood and whether we'd ever see him back in WWE.

"I think Dwayne has done such an awesome job being a successful actor," Cena said. "The only problem is he left us; he's no longer doing activity with WWE. I think the way WWE Studios is going now - they're going away from action, doing more drama, possibly more comedy - it will open a lot of people's eyes. Because a lot of people see big guy, big frame: action superstar. We've proven, especially with 'Legendary,' that that is not always the case."

TNA Impact Taping Results (09/23/10) Spoilers

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:49:32 +0000

TNA Wrestling taped the 9/23 edition of TNA Impact tonight from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Below are the full results:

Dark match:

Navy Blue vs. Stevie Richards. Winner via Stevie Kick, Stevie Richards

TNA Impact (Airing 9/23 on Spike TV):

Rob Terry vs. Abyss. Winner via DQ, Rob Terry. Abyss used and kept beating on Terry. A bandaged and banged up Rob Van Dam appeared in the crowd and was held back by security. He hit one of them with a chair. Abyss tried to get to him and Al Snow, Simon Diamond and D-Lo Brown ran down with chairs to get Abyss to leave. RVD got in the ring afterwards and calls out Eric Bischoff. Bischoff comes down and RVD talks about all the love he's received. He appreciates it but doesn't want any sympathy. He prides himself on being able to take care of himself. Even though people think he's vulnerable. He's not. He wishes Angle, Anderson and Hardy good luck. RVD says he would've shown up within 30 days but whatever, things happen. He wants the winner of the tournament to put the title up against him. RVD says he also wants Abyss at 10-10-10. Bischoff says he'd like nothing more and it's a done deal.

D'Angelo Dinero comes to the ring while Bischoff is still out there. He says since Bischoff is doing favors, why not do him a favor and tell him what the h--- is going on around here. He says Bischoff is full of it. Pope beat Kazarian in the fatal 4-way tag. Then he pinned Angle in this very ring. He says there was a hiccup at No Surrender but how can RVD get a title shot before him. How can Hardy or Angle get one when they didn't win their match? Bischoff says I hope you're insinuating what I think you are. He says they need to discuss this in the back and leave. The tone suggested Dinero was saying Bischoff is a racist.

Jeremy Buck w/Matt Buck vs. Chris Sabin. Matt got thrown out immediately for tripping Sabin. Winner via schoolboy, Chris Sabin. Matt ran down afterwards to help Jeremy beat Sabin down. They did their double team top rope hanging DDT and then stole Sabin's tag team championship belt.

TNA Knockouts tag title match, Lacey Von Erich & Velvet Sky vs. Taylor Wilde & Hamada. Winner via enziguri from Wilde to Lacey, Hamada & Taylor Wilde. The referee was distracted and Madison Rayne ran in and hit Lacey with a motorcycle helmet which led to the win. Angelina Love ran down afterwards to help Lacey to the back.

D'Angelo Dinero vs. Samoa Joe. Jeff Jarrett comes out during the match to cheer Joe on. Sting and Kevin Nash then come out to beat up Jarrett. This distracts Dinero which leads to Joe locking on a choke for the win. An all out brawl then erupts with everybody except Dinero who stays in the ring. Security comes out to break things up. Dinero gets helped to the back by security.

Mr. Anderson is out. He wants us a--holes to make some noise. He says this is a little more personal. He wants to bring out the only Olympic gold medalist in wrestling history, Kurt Angle. Angle joins Anderson in the ring. Anderson says Angle is the absolute best in this business. Angle reiterates that he would retire if he lost on the way back to the title. The thing you don't know is that what he does in this ring is who he is. Anderson says bring it on.

Ladder match for the advantage in a Lethal Lockdown match, AJ Styles vs. Sabu. I'm not 100% sure if that's definitely the stipulation but that's what people around me think was said. Ric Flair and Matt Morgan are out with AJ. Mick Foley came out during the match and Flair flipped out. Morgan and Flair beat up Foley at one point. EV2 and Fourtune ran out and a giant brawl ensued. People were fighting everywhere as security tried to break it up. James Storm got in the ring and smashed a beer bottle on Sabu's head and then helped AJ up the ladder for the win.

Abyss comes to the ring carrying an unconscious Jeff Hardy. He asks Rob Van Dam if he's wondering why he has his best friend Hardy with him? Abyss says seeing RVD was like seeing a ghost. He was never supposed to come back. Seeing him shows how pathetic he really is. Abyss' only mistake was he left RVD breathing. He'll correct that on 10-10-10 and THEY will finally reveal themselves and start their takeover of TNA. He says he and Janice will slaughter RVD but doesn't want to wait until 10-10-10. She wants a piece of meat so get out here RVD. RVD makes his way out slowly with a chair and starts beating Abyss down with the chair. Abyss hits a big boot and turns the tables on RVD. He grabs Janice to use but Ink Inc run out and make the save.

Xplosion:

Orlando Jordan vs. Suicide. Winner after kissing Suicide and then schoolboying him, Orlando Jordan.

Eric Young vs. Rob Terry. Winner via running powerslam, Rob Terry.

Matt Morgan & Douglas Williams vs. Raven & Stevie Richards. Winner via evenflow DDT from Raven to Williams, Raven and Stevie Richards. Williams and Morgan beat Raven and Richards up after the match.

Jim Ross Blog: NXT Season 3 Premiere, Daniel Bryan, WWP Promotion

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:47:32 +0000

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Some highlights from this update:

NXT Season 3 Premiere: "The first NXT season 3 broadcast featuring all Divas is different. I'm willing to give the concept a chance to hook me unlike some who have emailed me lambasting the process after an hour or less of watching it. Seems like some were harder on certain folk's dancing which was an attempt at entertainment than they were simply looking at the potential of the Divas. I've seen some of these ladies in FCW and was impressed with various aspects of each of their game. Naomi, obviously, is a gifted athlete clearly became the early favorite to win the competition in season three."

"I could just have just seen my big ass up in the ring Tuesday night 'dancing' if I had been on the broadcast team. Happy to have been watching on Syfy. Those who were doing some 'dancing' were merely doing their jobs folks, having fun and attempting to entertain us as directed. Many fans need to 'Lighten Up Francis."

Daniel Bryan's "LeBelle Lock" Submission: Daniel Bryan's salute to Judo Gene LeBelle by naming Bryan's submission the LeBelle Lock is a respectful gesture. LeBelle is a former pro wrestler, Hollywood stunt man, actor, etc who is also regarded as one of the toughest men to ever walk the face of the Earth. Legend has it that he once made actor/martial arts practitioner Steven Segal soil himself when the two had a physical encounter that was allegedly provoked by the egocentric Segal. Gene also refereed the Muhammad Ali-Antonino Inoki MMA bout that I, among many others, invested in years ago. BTW...it did not make any money for many of the investors.

New Wrestling Promotions: "When I hear of the alleged plans of new, national wrestling promotions being announced and how they will roll out their new 'concepts' on how they will uniquely promote the timeless genre of pro wrestling it becomes an 'eye roller.' It constantly amazes me that some rich folks will continue to send good money after bad in a business wrought with unique nuances, folks with less than honorable character along with self serving agendas that the money people will never know or understand and will quickly lose big bucks and join the ranks of others who have more money than common sense."

More Details On The Arrest Of Jim Neidhart

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:46:26 +0000

The Calgary Herald has a new article online detailing the recent arrest of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. The piece features quotes from Neidhart's daughter Jenni Neidhart and brother-in-law Ross Hart.

The publication reveals Neidhart was actually arrested at a gas station, not a hospital as noted in the police report. A gas station employee notified authorities when Neidhart allegedly was making a scene, spilling and ingesting pills when he stopped to put fuel in his car.

"From what I understand, he was agitated and not very happy to be handcuffed and taken away," Ross Hart told the publication.

Jenni, Neidhart's oldest daughter, said her father needs help.

"It's sad because we know our father is not a criminal," she told the Calgary Herald. "He's a sick person who needs help and this is a serious cry for help."

Aloisia Responds To Rumor About Erotic Pictures

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 07:30:43 +0000

6-foot-9 WWE diva Aloisia has responded to reports that the reason she was removed from NXT Season 3 was because erotic photos of her leaked online. While Aloisia's previous modeling career did include erotic photo shoots, sources indicate that the earlier report is in fact false and that she was removed from NXT Season 3 and sent back to WWE developmental due to her inexperience in the ring.

Here is the statement she posted on her official website regarding the erotic pictures:

"This morning I was shocked to discover that a new rumor was circulating on the Web, pertaining to my removal from the NXT cast. According to articles posted on numerous websites, I was removed from NXT due to WWE discovering "erotic photos" from my past on the Web. While no specific source is named in the articles, the implication is that this information is coming from someone within WWE. In case anyone is interested, here's a link to the photos that supposedly got me taken off the show.

I'm posting the link because the pictures are already out there, so there's no point in trying to hide them. I find them embarrassing, not because they're particularly "erotic", but because I was overweight and out-of-shape when they were taken five years ago and because they're amateurishly shot. I'm sure everyone who's reading this has some pictures somewhere that you'd rather not have published on the Web for the whole world to see. Unfortunately, part of the price of celebrity is the fact that people dig around in your past to try to find ways to exploit you as a means of increasing their own readership.

To put these pictures in their proper context, I was an 18 year old kid at the time most of them were taken. I had recently left home because I was being abused by my mother's new husband and was on my own with no money and no parental guidance. I met a photographer who offered me some money to take pictures and being both stupid and desperate, I consented to doing a photo session. To all those who would judge me, I would ask you to honestly ask yourself what you might have done had you been in my situation. I'm not proud of having done this, but there's nothing I can do to go back and change the past. It is what it is. For what it's worth, none of the pictures are nude and most of them are less suggestive than what you see on current WWE programming. For example, check out the recent video shot at FCW above when Aksana was first introduced.

I'm not mentioning this to criticize Aksana or WWE in any way. I'm merely trying to put it in context.

When I first received my offer from WWE, they asked me to fill out a "Talent Information Form" providing them with information about myself and my background. One of the questions was, "Have you ever posed nude?". I answered "No" to this question, because that's the truth. If they had asked me if I ever posed suggestively, I would of course have answered "Yes", but there's a big difference between suggestive and nude. As to the question of whether this was why they took me off the show, that's something you'd have to ask them. Perhaps it was a factor in their decision, but I honestly don't know their entire thought process, as they've communicated very little to me about this. From what I've been reading on various blogs, it seems that they may have had a political motivation to get me off the show, but again, you'd have to ask them.

I wish all of you the best and thank you for your support."

Six Pack Challenge News

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:44:44 +0000

It appears that the WWE title match at Night of Champions will remain a Six Pack Challenge, despite Chris Jericho being removed from the match. The WWE website has removed Jericho's name from the participants in the match but is still promoting the match as a Six Pack Challenge, so it appears there will be another participant.

Could this mean Jericho has still not resigned with WWE?

NXT Giant Diva Reportedly Pulled From Show Due To Erotic Photographs

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:41:20 +0000

According to PWInsider, Lindsay Hayward, the 6-9, 240-pound woman given the name Aloisia for the third season of NXT, was actually dropped from the program due to erotic photos WWE officials uncovered of the giant grappler shortly after her television premiere last Tuesday.

The reported reason of Hayward being pulled from the program due to being deemed 'not ready' is said to be a cover excuse.

A set of photographs labeled "Tall Amazons Erotica" depict Hayward in a manner unbecoming to World Wrestling Entertainment's family friendly product. A number of the shots feature Aloisia positioned erotically, including nude. There are also images of the she-giant engaging pleasantries with a petite blonde woman.

The storyline reason given for Hayward's hastily dismissal from NXT was that Aloisia had been fired by her Pro, Vickie Guerrero, after an argument over her influence. Guerrero will reveal her new Rookie Diva during tonight's season 3 premiere.

Hayward currently remains under contract to WWE.

Jim Ross Blogs About Jim Neidhart's Arrest & WWE Unifying More

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:28:06 +0000

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated the blog section of his website, JRsBarBQ.com.

Reports that WWE Will Be Unifying More Titles: "Emailers are hitting me with the rumor that WWE is preparing to unify ALL their titles. I have no idea if that is accurate or not but I doubt it. I see the WWE Title and the World Title remaining as well as the Intercontinental and United States Titles. I could be dead wrong on the latter two. Perhaps having only one tag champion and one womens champion will allow those two, specific title to mean more and earn more focus. Time will tell on all this 'net gossip as I certainly don't know the long term direction of any of the titles."

Jim Neidhart's Arrest: "The recent arrest of Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart came as a surprise. The 55 year old Neidhart was arrested in Tampa for alleged possession and conspiracy to distribute pain meds, as I understand it, not to mention alleged burglary of said items. It certainly sounds to me that Jim may well have a n obvious drug issue that needs addressing in the form of a long term stay in a rehabilitation center. If my assumption is accurate, then 30 days likely won't do the trick but be that as it may one thing is for sure and that is that recovery always starts with the individual truly wanting to want to stay clean and sober."

"I can't see Jim Neidhart being a 'burglar' but I can see him having drug and alcohol issues that may have manifested themselves to the point that Jim needs to seek help and, more importantly, truly want to stay clean and sober."

WWE RAW Results (09/6/10) - Washington D.C.

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:18:19 +0000

This week's RAW starts with Nexus in the ring and huge heat from the fans. Wade steps forward, gets more heat and soaks it in. He says it's fitting. More heat. How fitting that tonight's RAW is from this nation's capitol, the site of so many historic rallies and groundbreaking speeches. Last week he said Nexus would do something that would be talked about forever. They systematically destroyed a WWE institution - Taker. Video of them taking apart Taker.

Otunga says that right there should put to rest doubts about Nexus and their weakness. They're the new phenoms of WWE. They're it! They trimmed the fat with Young, lost Skip to injury and still managed to have the greatest night of their lives.

Tarver grabs a mic and asked if anyone has done anything unprecedented to Taker? No. if they did, they'd sit back and enjoy it for the rest of their lives. Not them, later in the show they took out five of RAW's top Superstars. Heat from the fans. Jericho and Edge were so scared they took themselves out of the match because they wanted nothing to do with Nexus.

Slater stepped up and said what happened next was he pinned the WWE Champion. He said it again, he pinned our Champion. He doesn't think the people in the cheap seats heard him. He did it! Heath Slater!

Gabriel stepped up and told Slater to calm down. Slater was still thrilled. Gabriel said he's done something even more impressive. Who can say they delivered their finisher to Taker and Cena in the same night. He nailed Taker with a 450, then later he did this. Video of Gabriel nailing Cena with the 450 and pinning him for three. Gabriel was all smiles. He says it's like the third time, or fourth. Each time it gets more and more satisfying. Cena can see him slamming down on his lifeless body over, over and over again.

Wade then takes the mic and says he personaly de-venom-ized the Viper. He pinned Orton. That's just a taste of what's to come in RAW. In two week's time, in the 6 Pack Challenge, he will beat Orton, Cena, Sheamus, Jericho and Edge to bring the WWE Championship back home to the Nexus. It will be historic, groundbreaking, will be everything he said -

Orton's music and he comes out with an evil smirk on his mug. Orton says what he took away from last week was the fact that he took out two of Nexus in less than 30 seconds, but Wade won't roll footage on that, will he? Don't worry, Orton will just do it again. He doesn't care who he has to pin at Night of Champions to win the Title, but rest assured, Wade Barrett, he will make it his business to hit him with an RKO. Wade says Randy's real tough. If he's so tough, why not come to the ring right now and give him an RKO? Orton slowly starts heading for the ring.

Ding-Ding! Cole gets heat for stepping up to read the email. "Last week was indeed an historic night for Nexus, as a unit. I think we'll find out how some of the members fare individually. Tonight, for the first time ever, the master of the 450 splash, the South African Sensation, Justin Gabriel will face John Cena. In addition, Randy Orton, you won't have to wait until the Night of Champions to see if you can hit an RKO on Wade Barrett. Tonight, the former bare knuckle Champion and the fearless leader of Nexus, Wade Barrett will go one on one with Randy Orton. Gentlemen, one more thing, to ensure both matches are fair, Nexus is banned from ringside tonight!"

WWE Rewind - Last Monday's Main Event, the Five On Five Match. Edge pushed the ref down and was disqualified on purpose after Jericho walked out.

Jericho out to the ring in wrestling gear. Ding-Ding! "Last week when Jericho and Edge took themselves out of the Main Event, it was a slap in the face to the WWE Universe, as well as to me, the GM. Thus there will be appropriate consequences. Tonight if Edge and Jericho don't win their respective matches, they will be taken out of the 6 Pack Challenge. Jericho will face this man -" Jericho demanded Cole tell him who the GM is, right now! John Morrison out in his slo-mo way that looks just as cool in person. He does his Bret Hart thing by giving a kid his glasses, then into the ring to pose.

Chris Jericho Vs. John Morrison

Jericho rushed and attacked Morrison as the bell rung. Jericho stomped Morrison onto the mat, then slammed him into a corner, but Morrison managed to roll Jericho up for two, then another two. Forearm to Morrison for two. Jericho throws Morrison from the ring, then over to scream at Cole about who the GM is. Jericho then over to grab Morrison.

Chinlock on Morrison in the center of the ring. Split screen of Jericho leaving the Main Event last week. Morrison fights his way to his feet, but Jericho nails a back slam. Jericho pins for one. Punches to Morrison who flops to the mat. Jericho pulls Morrison up, and flips Morrison who lands on his feet. Running the ropes and Jericho runs into a dropkick. Backbreaker on Jericho for two. Jericho sets up for the walls, Morrison gets free. Morrison eats an elbow. Morrison moves out of the way of Jericho's lionsault, Jericho lands on his feet. Jericho runs into one of Morrison's kicks. Morrison pins Jericho for two.

Flapjack to Morrison and Jericho sets him up. Morrison holds the ropes to avoid the code breaker. Jericho is able to roll Morrison up for two. Enziguri to Morrison. Jericho crawls over and pins, but only gets two. Jericho's annoyed. Jericho slams Morrison's head to the mat twice. Jericho calls Morrison a stupid man while pulling Morrison's hair in a corner. Jericho whips Morrison, but Morrison moves and Jericho nails the post shoulder first. Morrison tries for starship pain, but lands on his feet as Jericho moves. Morrison might have tweaked his knee a bit. Jericho tries for the walls and locks it in. Morrison tries for the ropes and makes it. Jericho breaks the hold before five.

Kick to Morrison on the apron and Jericho holds Morrison's hair and pulls him up a corner. Morrison fights back and Jericho lands on the mat. Morrison, from outside, manages to flip around on the ropes and hit starship pain on Jericho for three.

Winner - John Morrison

Video replay of Morrison punching Jericho and then managing starship pain from outside - beautiful. Jericho's on the mat, realizing what has happened, that he's out of the Night of Champions Main Event. He looks crushed and shocked. To his feet, head held low, he leaves the ring only to sit on the steps and looks about to cry. He's bleeding from the mouth - blood on his teeth - then gets up and leaves to some pop from the fans, some heat too. He goes up the ramp to chants of "Y2J".

On the stage Fox informs her she won't be competing at Night of Champions. If anyone will be the Un - Defined Champion of Divas because she's more talented, more beautiful and has more followers on Twitter than Melina and Lay-Cool combined. We will be seeing her at Night of Champions, but not as a lumberjill, but as the most fierce Divas Champion in history. (That whole thing was really robotically delivered and yes, she did say un - defined with a huge space in there as she obviously forgot what she was supposed to be saying. Her face had no character or change to it the whole time, she delivered the whole thing in monosyllabic bits that could have better been enunciated by Hal! Melina was laughing through the whole thing and had to be laughing at how bad Fox screwed the whole thing up!)

Backstage Edge is with Zack. He says Jericho lost and is out. Why does he have to put his spot on the line? Why did he push a ref? Little known fact, the ref said derogatory things about his mom, under his breath. No one says derogatory things about his mom, you know why? Edge says he loves her. Zack says he loves her two. Zack says Title Matches are precious, so he wants to face Edge tonight. Edge says he used to think Zack was the biggest tool in the world, but it makes sense because Zack sucks! He's easy, Edge can't lose! Edge says to anonymous GM, Edge looks in his bag to see if the GM is there, nope. But Edge knows the GM is listening, Edge officially recognizes Zack's challenge and it better be recognized or there will be problems with the top RAW Superstar. Zack throws in a woo, woo, woo.

Miz in the ring with his curtain covering something. He introduces himself. He says his name is Mike Mizanin and he has no right to be there. That's what they told him six years ago. He was the lowest form of life, a reality TV star. A picture of Miz on Real World. He had to start on Tough Enough. A picture of Miz on Tough Enough. Miz said he was a nice looking guy, the fans don't agree. As a competitor on Tough Enough he started hearing the voices of wrestlers, legends and fans - all telling him to go back to MTV. He refused to leave, refused to cave into the pressure. He moves on, did whatever he had to. He became the host of SD! Picture of him being SD!'s host. The voices got louder. Rather than asking him to leave, they told him to leave. Miz has no talent, doesn't belong. Each and everyone one of us would have left. He didn't. he stuck around and formed a tag team with Morrison. He thought he'd made it, but no. Despite becoming Tag Team Champions, everyone said Morrison was the star and Miz was the sidekick. Said he was riding Morrison's coattails if they spilt Miz would vanish. They did split and what happened? Miz became the US Champion. We all called it a fluke and Miz wouldn't rise to the next level. Then what happened? He won MITB! He punched in his ticket to becoming a WWE Champion. The man who didn't belong, was shunned, was ostracized can be the top of the company. Which leads him to this - drum roll please. He removes the curtain to show his cover to the WWE Magazine. We might wonder why this is such a big deal? As a child he bought every issue. He'd put them in his bedroom and dream of getting the cover of this magazine. Now he wants to hear it from each and every person in this arena. He wants them to get up and do what they should have done a long time ago, admit they're wrong. Each and every single one of them. He's the poster child! Not Cena, not Orton, Miz! More heat. He says the fans can't deny it, can't hide from it, don't have any choice to admit we're wrong because he's the Miz and he's earned the right to say he's the Miz and he's awesome! (My daughter told me about Miz on Real World. I thought she was insane. Miz has proven my wrestling theories wrong and my little girl has impressed me by telling this wrestling fanatic about this funny looking kid who's managed to become a HUGE star.)

Daniel Bryan comes out cutting Miz off. Cole really rips on Bryan coming out to the ring. Bryan has a huge smile. He comes out and introduces himself to Miz. Bryan says he's out there to congratulate Miz. No one thought Bryan would make it either. Miz says he didn't make it. Bryan says touch�, touch�, Miz is right. Bryan says he came out to generic Rock music even he can't recognize. He doesn't have Miz style. He has a $10 haircut. He has to wear his ring gear in the back so security doesn't throw him out, even then he's had to show his ID three times. If anything, he's the anti-Superstar. He does know if he faces Miz for the US Title, he can beat Miz.

Miz agrees - that Bryan paid $10 for that haircut. Laughs from the fans. Miz asks what makes Bryan worthy to go against him for the Title? Bryan says if it did happen, the WWE Magazine next month could look like this. On the tron is a mocked up cover of Bryan putting the crossface on Miz and it says 'Miz taps' across the top. Miz is pissed. "You tapped out!" chants. Cole covers for Miz. Bryan says to calm down, that Bryan's not saying he's going to rip him apart, but he can and can beat Miz and can become the us Champion.

Miz tells Bryan that he doesn't like Bryan. Bryan can beat him? Miz can annihilate him. Bryan says US Championship Match, yes or no? Miz thinks and says yes. Bryan thanks Miz and says he appreciates it. Miz thanks him, then tries to attack Bryan. Bryan gets the crossface on him. Alex Riley in and attacks. Bryan kicks Riley in the head, sends Miz out over the top, then puts the hold on Riley. Miz won't help Riley as Riley taps out. Miz stares and glares. Bryan runs his finger over Miz's Magazine'd face, then kick Miz's cardboard face as Miz backs up the ramp glaring.

This Week In WWE History - September 4, 1995 - Mall of America - WCW fired the first shot of the Monday Night Wars. Flair Vs. Sting. Bischoff and Ted Turner went after the WWE. The battle lines were drawn when Lex Luger signed with WCW mere hours after leaving the WWE. This changed the rules of engagement. Nitro stayed on top for two years until RAW hit on the Attitude Era.

Backstage Jericho is staring off into space. Josh asks if he can ask a couple of questions.

He asks Jericho about having a bad day, huh? Still think he's the best in the world at what he does? Don't worry man, things will get better. Jericho turns and looks at Morrison.
