As far as Zbysko aligning with Jarrett, I think it was supposed to go like this: Zbysko was being ousted and decided to align with Jarrett to 'over-power' Cornette/management. But Cornette was brought in as a side-guy, not the main guy so it really didn't make sense

Don't get too excited, yes this is good news, but Spike TV has changed their minds on decisions like this. I.E. moving to primetime

A couple notes, wwe.com has an article with Edge being upset about his spot on Power25. He thinks since he is the champ he is supposed to be in the top spot, instead of No. 3. I'm betting he drops this week since he didn't even wrestle On wweshop.com there is a t shirt that says 'Vince loves' and shows a rooster/cock. On the back it says DX. When you click on the link it says the item has been removed

Well you didn't win $250K, but here's a ticket, cheap seats of course, to tomorrow night's ECW Show. I probably would have done a reverse booking and had Dreamer/Sandman match as the main event, because at least the crowd would have been more into it, instead of booing Batista and Show. But I was switching between this and the Contender, so I didn't see the majority of the show.

from PWInsider.com The open the show announcing WWE World champ King Booker vs. Undertaker and Batista vs. Ken Kennedy for later on. *William Regal beat WWE United States champ Finlay by DQ when Finlay got the shillelagh from Regal and nailed him. Lashley hit the ring and Finlay nailed him too. Regal and Finlay teased attacking Lashley but Finlay shoved Regal into Lashley and walked out. Lashley hit the Dominator on Regal. *Elijah Burke (with Sylvester Turkay) defeated Scott Wright via submission, hitting the Stroke followed by a choke. Turkay beat on Wright after the match and cinched on the finisher he beat Matt Hardy with. *Kristal Marshall pinned Ashley Massaro after rolling her up and hooking the tights. *Tatanka pinned Sylvan with a sideslam. *Batista pinned Ken Kennedy after the Batista Bomb. *Michael Cole interviewed Batista at ringside congratulating him on his win. Batista said to congratulate him when he wins back his World title. *Vito defeated The Brooklyn Brawler via submission with the dress over the face hammerlock. *In his office, Teddy Long was talking to the debuting Montel Vontavious Porter (from Deep South Wrestling) who told him he needed to be signed if Long wanted the "MVP" (his initials) for 2006. Long said he was excited to sign him. Montel told Long to talk to his agent on the cell phone and walked out. Long was shocked at the financial demands mentioned over the phone and said to the agent that they needed to get together soon. The MVP character seemed to be based on Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire. *KC James and Aaron The Idol Stevens debuted, managed by Michelle McCool, defeating Funaki and Scotty 2 Hotty. Fans began chanting "We want Raw" during the match, which no doubt will be edited off. *Backstage. Sharmell got King Booker ready for the match with the Undertaker. *In the building, they aired a music video on the WWE visiting troops overseas. *Chavo Guerrero came to the ring and said everyone wants to know why he turned on Rey Mysterio. He claimed that Rey stole the Guerrero family name and their blood. Chavo said he grew up with Eddie Guerrero and they were like brothers together. Chavo said that Smackdown Magazine did an article on Latinos in wrestling and it was Rey on the cover in a Lowrider Los Guerreros used to come to the ring in with Eddie instead of Chavo. He said Rey wasn't a Guerrero and stole Chavo's spotlight. Chavo said Rey did everything to tie himself to Eddie to steal the spotlight, whether it was wrestling him or teaming with Eddie. He said when Eddie died, everyone felt horrible and Chavo retired. He said Rey didn't do the same and instead used Eddie's name to help himself. Chavo said that every 5 minutes, Rey was mentioning Eddie's name and dedicating all the matches to him. Chavo said when Rey won the World title, he still couldn't stand on his own. Chavo said Rey had to use another Guerrero, him, to save his title but keep the glory. He claimed Rey used Eddie's name until Chavo couldn't take it anymore at the Great American Bash and attacked him. Chavo claimed that Rey stole the memory of Eddie from the fans and his family and is a leech living off the Guerrero name. Mysterio hit the ring and they brawled in the ring and around ringside. He slammed Chavo into the ring steps. Eddie Guerrero's wife Vickie hopped the railing to separate them. The crowd chanted Eddie's name. Chavo backed up the aisle and went backstage Vickie walked off without saying a word but glanced at Mysterio as she left. *They replayed the clip of Batista wanting to go after the World title. *Undertaker beat WWE World champ King Booker via DQ. Taker chokeslammed Booker. Khali hit the ring and hit him with the over the head chop. Taker sat up and clotheslined Khali over the top to the floor. Taker challenged Khali to a Last Man Standing match at Summerslam. Smackdown goes off the air with Taker doing his pose under the purple light and Khali glaring at him from the entrance.

Impact #1 - Jeremy Borash announced backstage that Sting will have Christian Cage in his corner for the match against Jeff Jarrett at the PPV. This brought out Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett, who complained about collusion between Christian and Jim Cornette. Jarrett complained that he wanted to talk to either Christian or Cornette. Slick Johnson came out and told them that there would be a "mandatory meeting" for them to attend with Cornette. Steiner punched out Johnson. - LAX defeated Jerrelle Clark & Chasyn Rance after a double pin. Christopher Daniels & AJ Styles appeared on the screens.

If you missed it last night, Tina Fey was on Leno and announced she would not be returning this season because her new show, 30 Rock will take up most of her time. NBC announced their primetime schedule for the fall, I took this article from tv.com Network pres says peacock will be a potent contender this fall; hints at SNL revamp. LOS ANGELES--Check the rearview mirror, eye. Get crazy, Fox. Spell relief, alphabet. The peacock is mounting an attack. Studio 60 at the TCA. NBC president Kevin Reilly, speaking today at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Pasadena, California, said his network won't end next season bringing up the rear. "We've been sweating like pigs trying to get out of a stiff headwind," Reilly said. "But I gotta tell you: I feel a shift in the winds coming, and I think our ill-fated three-hour tour is about to come to an end." NBC, once the home of "must-see TV" and perennial number one network, has suffered a severe downturn in its fortunes since the 2003-2004 season, when Friends went off the air. Since then, the net has fallen to fourth place and has seen its ad revenue, which stood at $2.9 billion, dip to $1.9 billion in each of the past two years. Reilly says that's going to change. "Our fall is going to look pretty potent. We have six new shows that all could break out. Our ratings will definitely be better," he predicted. "We will not be mired in fourth week after week. We will be a challenger in many time periods." Reilly hinted that stalwart sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, which saw ratings slump this season, might get some revamping. "You'll see a tightening of the cast," he suggested. "[it will] a be new show for a new generation." NBC has two new shows parodying SNL--Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, from West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin, and 30 Rock, from SNL writer Tina Fey. Sorkin, speaking separately at the TCA, said his show would differ from Fey's. "I'm going to take Tina's idea and add twice as many words to it," he said to laughter. Sorkin, who in 2001 pled guilty to possession of crack cocaine and other drugs, cracked wise about his feelings on TV's unhealthy influence in society. "I think it's [like] bad crack in the school yard," he quipped. "Why did I use that line?" Full TV.com article While I hate Tina Fey will be gone from SNL, I am interested in her new show. As for SNL being 'revamped' Guess I'll give my opinion in October

I know this has been reported in the Movies forum, but The Marine is scheduled to release October 13th

WWE.Com reports Lashley has been medically cleared to return to action

If you replace the prison match with the diva search, Dean and Grenier's matches, this is Sunday night's show

So I didn't get the entire prediction correct, and it isn't official since the GAB match wasn't for #1 contendership after Henry's injury, but it goes to show the thing was most likely a work

Wow 4 pages, and nothing since Hardy-Helms match? So fat the show has been decent in my book.

Three new t shirts. One is a direct parody of DX.

WWE might use Khali's removal as part of a storyline. Thus they didn't mention anything. Or maybe they see it as bad publicity to announce three people have been pulled from the show

What's next? Booker won't be able to make it to the show?

Tv.com has an article on Lost, it gives out rumors that Abrams might be leaving after this season to do more movies. http://www.tv.com/story/story.html&sto...adlines;title;0

You're missing the big news...The Highlanders will be RAW's tag champs

When Booker wins on Sunday, will the name plate actually say 'King Booker'?

WWE have postponed their tour in Israel due to the bombings.

Put Batista in the title match by default. Have him win, have a rematch with Rey on Smackdown, Have Chavo cost Rey the match, setting up Batista vs. Booker for the belt, and Chavo/Rey at Summerslam

It's probably leading to Kennedy vs. Hardy rematch at GAB

I didn't like Kristen, I thought Rebecca was cute but didn't get the whole 'stomp and kick around in my cowboy boots' thing, Ty probably knew he was staying before he even did his set. Phyllis Diller (don't remember her last name) has the worst laugh..well it's really a honk. And how about that surprise cameo by Jim Norton!

It was cool when the DX music started, then just died. They were setting up a net to land on them? C'mon that' was stupid in '98 in WCW, it's sort of funny on cartoons, but it's really lame now

Todd Grisham is a goof. Why is he trying his deep announcer voice?

That chairshot from behind was so bad it was funny.
