Hunter's Torn Quad

Zero chance.

- Batista & Bobby Lashley beat King Booker and Finlay in the main event after Batista pinned Booker following a spinebuster. Show's over now.

- While the cameras weren’t rolling, fans were treated to seeing Big Dick Johnson in the ring, rubbing himself up against Tony Chimmel.

Let's assume that Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle are the two best workers on the planet and they will have a match at Genesis so great that it will require a sixth star added to the ***** rating system. Who cares? Almost nobody outside the internet wrestling fanbase knows it's taking place. Until this past week, TNA did almost nothing to let people know that the match was taking place, or even that TNA existed. When TNA were in Detroit for their so-called biggest PPV of the year, they were at the World Series game, and a bunch of the wrestlers got recognized but only for what they did in WCW. Nobody knew they were in TNA, nobody knew about TNA, and nobody knew there was a PPV going on in Detroit the next day. Whether the match will be great or not isn't the point. The point is if TNA can get people outside their current fanbase excited enough about the match to pay to see it. It doesn't matter if the current fanbase have multiple orgasms over the match. They were going to watch anyway. It's the people who are not currently intending to watch it, but could if they knew about it, that TNA really need to care about.

- Backstage, Teddy Long announced that next week on Smackdown, MVP would again face Kane, this time in a Cage match.

- Matt Hardy beat Gregory Helms via pinfall in a non-title match after a Twist of Fate.

--The DX-Cryme Tyme segment on Raw last night was actually shot after the show was over. They had tried to do it live but Michaels couldn't keep a straight face and started cracking up in the middle of the segment. The live crowd in the building saw that segment but the version that aired on TV was done later.

Victoria has been working with a torn ACL for three years.

- MVP beat Kane via pinfall in a Street Fight after interference from Ken Kennedy. The Undertaker made the save and the heels bailed out. Kennedy then threw MVP into the ring where he was met with a double chokeslam.

He's in terrible shape. If he was in pretty good shape he wouldn't be openly talking about leaving when his contract expires and turning down a five-year contract extension worth $1m per year. His health is the main reason he's walking away from that money.

He's still being 'trained' in OVW. Still, it couldn't have hurt to have him work a dark match.

He'll be a small, intense guy.

- Michael Cole brought some fans from ringside into the ring and got them to start up some football chants. Two of the fans supported Manchester United, a third a Liverpool fan.

- William Regal came out to a huge pop and went on to beat Paul London via pinfall after a running kneelift.

- Mr Kennedy cut a promo on the TitanTron. He said he’s the future of the business and that he had surpassed The Undertaker.

Go Shiosaki NOAH, Katsuhiko Nakajima Kensuke Office & Takuya Sugawara beat Ryouji Sai Zero-One Max, HARASHIMA DDT & KAZMA (22:37) when Shiosaki pinned KAZMA with a Moonsault press. - This was the first official event of the GPWA. - Official attendance hasn't been released at the moment, other than the papers saying it was "almost no-vacancy". Misawa was interviewed about the concept of the GPWA, and said that one of its key meanings is to properly elevate the younger wrestlers, and reiterated that official GPWA dojos would be opened in the future. - Sugawara appearently hurt his left knee in the match. Although I don't know if it's legit or not. Shiosaki hit KAZMA with a Lariat, followed by the Moonsault press for the win. Kikutaro thanked the fans for their attendance, and appealed to outside wrestlers to join the GPWA.

There are arguments that can be made in favor of Joe vs. Angle happening now or holding it off. The best argument I've heard for doing it now is that to leave it any longer only gives TNA a chance to fuck it up, and make no mistake about it, TNA would fuck up Joe vs. Angle if they held the match off for any real length of time.

- Chris Benoit beat Tatanka after Tatanka (who looked awful) tapped out to the Sharpshooter. Post-match, Chavo Guerrero laid Benoit out with a chair.

Wrestlemag

He was under contract to K-1. He still might be, but that's another legal matter.

If TNA, or WWE for that matter, had smart people booking Sapp would be the next Hulk Hogan.

Bob Sapp has charisma coming out the wazoo. If Sapp was trained to work smartly, you could easily build a promotion around him.

- Jeff Hardy vs Johnny Nitro in a Ladder Match for the IC Title was announced for next Monday’s show. - Edge and Randy Orton beat Ric Flair and Roddy Piper to win the Tag Team titles. Piper was taken out early on, leaving Flair alone. Edge and Orton pretty much destroyed him, winning the tag belts after a spear by Edge. After the match DX hit the ring and brawled with Edge and Orton, RAW coming to a close with DX left in the ring as Orton and Edge stood by the top of the ramp.

- Mickie James beat Lita in a non-title match. The pre-match stipulation put in place was that Mickie had to wrestle with both of her legs tied together, but DX distracted Lita, allowing Mickie to hit her with a DDT and get the win.

- Backstage, Carlito is shown reading the Daily Star newspaper and makes reference to Celtic vs Manchester Utd match that is happening in a week or so. Torrie Wilson and two girls from the Daily Star invite him out after the show. - Graphics are shown on the Tron running through the Survivor Series card, then DX are shown coming into the building through the crowd and sitting at ringside.
