    Stuff from Observer

    Meltzer says matches will be worse in the short run, but the wrestlers will become better because of it as time goes on, but he says some just have better matches when they are scripted out like DDP and it shouldn't matter how you do it as long as you entertain the fans.

    TNA News From The 10/13 Observer

    Hogan should get the belt. People are going to be tuning in wanting to see him win it and Jarrett keeping it would not be good for the company.

    SMACKDOWN! SPOILERS

    More in-depth spoilers: WWE Smackdown/Velocity Tapings from US Bank Arena in Cincinnati. Crowd was lively for most of the night, save one segment (guess now who was involved!). I'd say the Arena was about 70% full, if that. I hope I remember everything, and have the right order. Dark Matches: World's Greatest Tag Team beat Matt Cappotelli and John Hennigan, when Benjamin pinned Hennigan after a a double team power bomb/springboard clothesline. The Tough Enough III team looked green, but Matt was clearly more polished. His dropkicks weren't what they need to be though. Hennigan hit his standing shooting star, which got a nice pop. Crowd didn't seem to recognize the TEIII guys. Sean O'Haire and Matt Morgan beat Mike "Don't call me Nova" Bucci & Carly Colon. Morgan has the look, that's for sure. He's also got charisma and that "it" factor. Another year or two and he will be a major force. Colon took the heat for the match and made a hot tag to Bucci, who ended up getting pinned with O'Haire's widowmaker. Bucci was legit knocked silly (looked like a concussion, although he may have just had the wind knocked out of him). He was attended to by several officials and trainers (yes they threw up the "X" sign, so it was legit). Eventually he left under his own power. It should be noted that virtually no one recognized him as the former Nova, as his look has completely changed. Velocity: APA beat Nunzio & Chuck Palumbo. This was basically a handicap match as Palumbo was taken out before the bout. APA toyed with Nunzio before Bradshaw pinned him after a Clothesline from Hell. After the match, Bradshaw warned the Bashems to watch their backs (he made mention of an altercation during a card game in the back, dunno if this was a pre-tape for tonight that just didn't air or if he was referring to an incident from weeks ago). A-Train beat Orlando Jordan. Same match these two have had about 20 times now. A-Train got the win with the Derailer. Ultimo Dragon beat Joey Matthews. Best match of the show up until this point. Dragon got a huge reaction coming out. Matthews got in a solid amount of offense, but Dragon ended up picking up the win with the Asai reverse flip over neckbreaker thingy or whatever it's called. Matt Hardy (w/Shannon Moore) beat Funaki. Not a bad match here either. Hardy was over huge. He picked up the win with the Twist of Fate. SMACKDOWN Taping The show opened with a "preview" of a Stephanie McMahon interview that would be shown in its entirety (and I do mean ENTIRETY) later in the show. The show opened with John Cena's music hitting, and Kurt Angle coming to the ring dressed as Cena (complete with homeboy visor and Jacksonville Jaguars jersey). Angle "rapped" about how he (calling himself Cena) was so tough. This was entertaining and I won't spoil all the good lines he had. Then Kurt Angle's music hit, and a midget dressed as Angle came out. Some funny back and forth between the two took place. The midget scared off "Cena" eventually, then "Cena" tried to attack him, but was taken down. The midget then put "Cena" in the ankle lock, which made him tap out immediately. This brought out the real John Cena, and he and Angle exchanged words briefly before the midget Angle gave Cena a low blow. Some more back and forth, and finally officials separated the two men. Chris Benoit beat Doug Bashem by submission. Decent enough match. Benoit was over pretty strongly. At one point, the Bashems pulled the switch as Benoit went for a headbutt, and he crashed, allowing Danny to get a good near fall. Benoit came back on Danny though, and Doug ran in, only to get taken down in a crossface. He submitted. A-Train then hit the ring and attacked Benoit, leading to a pull apart. After you watch this match Thursday night, might I suggest running a few errands, perhaps doing some laundry, or maybe taking a nap. The next segment was beyond atrocious. Stephanie McMahon appeared on the big screen doing a sit down interview with Michael Cole from "earlier today." Stephanie informed us that she was "banned from the building" tonight by her father. Too bad he didn't ban her from TV period. Honestly, this PRE-TAPED interview went a solid 20 minutes and had the crowd booing it unmercifully after about 5. Just awful stuff. Stephanie cried (literally) over what her father has done to her, then said she hated him, and later said she loved him, then talked about how she would never forgive him and wouldn't let him walk her down the aisle should she ever get married "again," would never allow him to see any future grandkids, etc. Just awful stuff that went on WAY WAY WAY too long. Backstage, Jamie Noble and Nidia were talking about Vince. Tajiri was hiding in the background. Noble said he thinks the WWE will be a better place is Vince is forced to quit. Tajiri runs and tells Vince this, who quickly signs a match between Tajiri and Noble. In a non-title match, WWE Cruiserweight Champion Tajiri and Jamie Noble went to a no contest. Decent little match, with Tajiri working on Nobles leg for most of the bout. The finish came with Tajiri going to use the title belt on Noble, but Nidia ran in the ring and tried to take it from him. They had a tug of war before Tajiri blew the green mist in her face. Noble ran out of the ring to check on Nidia, who was rolling around on the floor. Tajiri just laughed, before leaving the ring. Back from commercial, trainers were attending to Nidia. Noble was furious and ended up going back to the ring. He called out Tajiri, saying if Nidia doesn't recover, Noble will make Tajiri pay. Tajiri never came out, so Noble headed to the back to get him. Unfortunately for him, he ran into Brock Lesnar just as he was about to walk through the curtain. Lesnar tossed Noble all around the entrance way, before tossing him into the ringpost and giving him an F5 on the floor. Mr. McMahon music then hit, and he headed to the ring with Sable for an interview segment. Vince gave another one of those great interviews that made me really want to see him get his; then I remembered who he was facing at the PPV and it killed it. The segment ended with Sable and Vince playing tonsil hockey. WWE US Champion Eddy Guerrero defeated Rhyno. This was the longest match of the night, going through a commercial break. Pretty good action too. Some nice spots from both men, as they really seem to work well together. Guerrero grabbed the timekeepers hammer late in the match, then tossed it to Rhyno while the ref was distracted. Eddy played dead and the ref caught Rhyno with the hammer. As taking it away, Guerrero nailed Rhyno with the US title behind the refs back and got the pin. Eddy was leaving in his lowrider truck, when the Big Show came out and attacked him. Show tossed Guerrero around and worked him over with a stick. Show then smashed the truck, breaking the windows, lights, and putting a nice dent in the side. Show then picked up Eddy (who was bleeding badly from the back thanks to broken glass) and powerbombed him on the hood of the truck. Then, Show pulled Eddy on top of the truck and gave him a chokeslam on the roof. This got over big time with the live crowd, and Guerrero being so bloody really added to the angle. Eddy made his way out during the commercial break, but his back looked like hamburger. It was announced at this point that there would be a special Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker match for our eyes only. Rey Mysterio pinned Johnny Stamboli (w/Nunzio & Chuck Palumbo). Typical big man little man match. Stamboli did his power moves and Mysterio used his quickness. Stamboli actually blocked a 619 and tried to turn it into a slam, but Mysterio reversed out of it into a huracanrana and picked up the win. Undertaker did an interview backstage, talking to Michael Cole and Tazz. 'Taker talked about being in the best shape of his life, yadda yadda. He explained the rules of the Biker Chain match, saying the chain would be suspended "somehow" above the ring and the first man to get it could use it. Brock attacked 'Taker during the interview, and wrapped the chain around his throat. He then drug him off, as the show went to commercial. Back from commercial, Brock was dragging 'Taker down to the ring. Taker had a few hope spots, but was basically choked out with the chain by Brock. Brock even hung Taker on the ring post with the chain. Of course, Taker eventually made the comeback and gave Brock a big chokeslam, which I believe was at the end of the TV show. AFTER THE SHOW Undertaker beat WWE Champion Brock Lesnar by countout. Brock went to the back, but 'Taker took the mic and said it wasn't over. Brock came back out very slowly for the "special" match between the two. Brock stalled a lot and did the classic Memphis style powdering out spots to begin the match. They went back and forth for about 5 minutes before 'Taker finally caught Lesnar for a chokeslam. Lesnar dropped down before taking it though, and fled the ring. He was counted out. Taker celebrated and posed, and that was that.

    Raw Rating Rises

    This week's edition of Raw scored a 3.6 cable rating, with a 5 share, according to Nielsen Media Research. The show did hours of 3.3 and 3.8. That is up from last week's 3.4 and considering the competition that it went up against from the Yankees-Red Sox game on Fox (which did an 11.6 broadcast rating) and NFL football on ABC (8.4 broadcast rating), it's a good number. The higest rated segment on the show was the 4.2 that the overrun did. 1wrestling.com

    Rock Signs On For Another Movie

    The Rock has signed on to star in the New Line Cinema feature film "Instant Karma," according to Variety. The film will tell the story of a safecracker, played the Rock, who dies and is reincarnated as a series of different animals, moving his way up the food chain. Others signed to appear in the film are Pierce Brosnan, Mira Sorvino, David Alan Grier and Eartha Kitt while Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Gene Wilder and the comedy troupe Broken Lizard are signed to voice the animals in the film. The film is set to begin production in New Orleans in April 2004, which means The Rock could technically be available for Wrestlemania XX, depending on pre-production responsibilities.

    Stuff from Observer

    Wade Keller says one of the moves banned is the overhead release suplex, which is mostly done by Angle.

    What happened to Bill DeMott?

    The last I've heard is that he is in OVW working to get back in shape from his injury. Demott isn't that bad. He has pretty good promo skills and isn't that bad in the ring. He has been shit in WWE though. He should be released along with Rico, Kanyon, and a few others they never use and go to TNA.

    Well Eric Young sucked ass last time he was on. Sonjay Dutt is cool from the little I've seen of him and I've never seen the other two.

    WWE Banning Even More Moves

    The agents had another meeting with the wrestlers this week once again stressed the company’s concern with injuries. They stressed that they want the workers to protect their necks and reiterated that the company is concerned about the number of injuries that the talent has suffered, especially to their necks. They once again told the talent to stop doing certain moves, I believe one of which was the belly-to-belly suplex.

    Rock Signs On For Another Movie

    He still has Spy Hunter, the king of Hawaii movie, Walking Tall, and now this one.

    Ok seriously this is just asinine....

    I find Shane more exciting than 80% of the Raw roster and would rather see him wrestle than them.

    Newspaper Article on NWA:TNA

    It isn't a Dallas paper. It is a newspaper for Galveston, Texas. You can read about it on galvnews.com The Hogan deal is already working to get TNA more exposure. This article probably wouldn't have happened if Hogan hadn't come in.

    Rock Signs On For Another Movie

    When is Rock's contract with WWE up? Isn't it next year? I can't see him resigning with them and letting Vince keep getting a cut of the money.

    Jarrett attacks Hogan in Japan

    Hogan never had a problem with Jeff Jarrett. The whole thing was planned that night except for Russo's comments afterwards. That is what pissed off Hogan and made him leave.

    Jarrett attacks Hogan in Japan

    Obviously he is signed if they are doing angles with him.

    TNA Dvds

    That picture with Jeff as world champion is just a random picture. Everytime you go to the page a different pic is there. Are these dvds going to be sold in stores or just on their website?

    Official Preview for next week

    Match length shouldn't be a problem when Dutch Mantel has been booking every match go to like 7 minutes or more. Of course, hopefully he won't make the main event 15 minutes again. They've made every match longer instead of just the good ones, which is a problem. I bet Watts vs Northcutt gets like 7 or 8 minutes.

    Real Smackdown Spoilers

    Here's a quick recap: Dark matches saw Jamie Noble pin Tony Mamaluke in 6:11; Rhyno & Sean O' Haire beat Danny Doring & Arch Kincaid in 4:32. For Velocity, it was Rey Mysterio pinning Kanyon in 7:19; Matt Hardy pinning Tyson Dux in 4:30; Kidman pinning Bobby Rude in 4:24; and Charlie Haas beating FUnaki by submission. SmackDown begins w/Linda McMahon in the ring. She goes on and on about the goings on as of late in the McMahon family. She said she tried to talk sense into Vince, and that obviously hasn't worked. Stephanie came out, wondering why the match has to go on. This brought out Vince. He doesn't get why Linda is here in the first place. During the segment, Vince adds a stip, where if he loses to Steph, he'll resign his position as chairman of WWE. Sable came out, and she offered her services, to be in Vince's corner at No Mercy. Linda responds, saying "Sable offers her serivces very freely". Sable gives Linda a weak looking kick to the gut, and Steph spears Sable and a catfight ensues. Vince shoves Steph of Sable, and clotheslines her. End of segment. In a NON-TITLE match, Tajiri pinned Ultimo Dragon in 3:40. Mysterio was ringside doing commentary, and gave Tajiri the 619 after the match. Undertaker pin Chuck Palumbo in 2:04. The FBI had a 3-on-1 going, and Taker held them off. Brock Lesnar jumped in thru the crowd, and attacked Taker. He went to hit Taker with a chair, but Taker punched the chair with a chain wrapped around his fist. Vince & Sable were watching the monitor in the back, w/Vince mad he didn't get to one-up Taker. There was a knock on the door, and it was Paul London, introducing himself. He asked Vince if he can wrestle tonight. Vince said yes, and he said London would get a title shot tonight vs Lesnar. Side note- London was billed as being from Hartford from some reason. Big Show pinned Orlando Jordan in 2:19 Eddie Guerrero was interviewed backstage, and Show wound up attacking him. Next up was a "Battle Rap", with John Cena vs Kurt Angle. This was really funny. Cena did his rap, and had a lot of people behind him. Instead of rapping, Kurt told a story, and mentioned how Cena is trying to be black, among other things. Kurt ends up fighting w/Cena. Shannon Moore pin Zach Gowen in 4:39 Taker was shown coming out of Steph's office smiling, and snickering as well. In the WWE title match, Lesnar pinned Paul London in 1:34 , in what was a total squash. Brock continued to beat up London, which brought out Spanky. Lesnar threw Spanky into the ring post back first, which looked pretty scary. Taker came out, and told Lesnar he had friends in high places. He also said the title match at No mercy is now a "Biker Chain" match. A lot of the crowd left at this point, thinking the show was over. It might as well have ended there. We were then "treated" to a 6-man of A-Train and the Basham Brothers beating Chris Benoit & APA in 4:48. Finally, Chavo calls out Big Show. Show comes out in a suit, saying he's dressed to kill, and he's not wrestling. Chavo calls Show a chicken. Show wins by countout in 44 seconds, as Chavo walked out of the ring. Suddenly, Eddie comes out.....in a septic truck. After a couple minutes, Eddie sprays Show with poop, coming from the hose of the truck. The show ends with Show laying in a puddle of poop. All in all, a really "crappy" show. The other crappy thing was the attendence. The 200's were 80% blocked off, the 300's were closed off entirely, and even a couple sections in the 100's were blocked off. The crowd was probably about 5,000 or so. Awful crowd, and not a very good show either. Report sent by Keith Lagasse; New Britain, CT
