Seems like all the vital parties will have an explanation for their absence... except for Booker. Hmmmmm.

TNA Remix 5: Middle School Shooters vs Impact

Wha? Sorry about that, it's been fixed, it was Khali. Didn't mean to make everybody think Fake Kane was coming back.

Some more detailed spoilers: The show starts with MVP in the ring in the VIP Lounge. He brings out his new Tag Team Championship partner, Matt Hardy. They showed the recap of MVP making the pin last week. He says he won the match on his own because he is better than Matt. Matt had them show another clip of MVP with both belts on the phone telling someone that he won the Tag titles on his own. Matt comes in to get his belt, sucker punches MVP and takes his belt. Back to the lounge and MVP tells Matt they have a rematch at Unforgiven with Deuce & Domino. He also tells Matt that he has a match tonight as a warm-up against Deuce. He calls for a ref and the guys to clear the ring. Matt Hardy over Deuce - MVP tripped Deuce and Matt got the pin for the win. Kenny Dykstra and Victoria come out for a match. Chuck Palumbo's music hits but he never comes out. It plays for several minutes and there's nothing. Victoria gets a make and says that Kenny is a future hall of famer. Kenny says that he has the brightest future on Smackdown and that he's so good that nobody in the back wants to face him. We announces himself the winner by forfeit. There may have been a problem though as a production guy flew over the barricade and ran to the back. (This segment was retaped - see below. Motorcycle problem?) Kane & Batista over Finlay & Khali. Jamie Noble set a leprechaun trap in the back for Hornswoggle using Lucky Charms as bait. Chuck Palumbo w/ Michelle McCool over Kenny Dykstra w/ Victoria. In the back, Hornswoggle takes the bait and gets under the trap, Noble pulls the rope but it breaks. He checks and the Cruiserweight belt is under it. He goes for the belt but it gets pulled out and the trap falls on Noble. Cruiserweight Championship: Hornswoggle over Jamie Noble via Countout. Noble didn't come out so the ref rang the bell and counted him out. Jamie hit the ring right at the count of 10 but not in time. I Quit Match: Rey Mysterio over Chavo Guerrero. Rey took out Chavo the same way by hitting his knee with a chair repeatedly while he was hung up in the corner.

No chance of that Holly/Eugene team now. WWE has come to terms on the release of WWE Smackdown talent Eugene as of September 1. We wish Eugene the best in all future endeavors. WWE.com

According to house who report from Terra Haute, indeed neither Kennedy nor Umaga were there. Booker wasn't either, but he's often not on these house shows and wasn't even advertised or was on a press release until Friday anyway.

Spoilers, I believe are complete.

According to WWE.com Hardy/Umaga for the IC title has been made for Raw, so not hard to predict the winner there.

If he eventully manages to recover, that may be the best timed injury in recent memory.

Just have Coach say (with some resentment) that Regal gave himself a month of paid vacation and that he's stuck with the dirty work, starting with Umaga suspended from Raw because too many wrestlers refuse to step in the ring with him. The other wrestlers refused to step in the ring with Umaga and are suspended as well for being pansies. Actually Haas is easy. Just have Shelton say that along with his new hair he's flying solo without Charlie to prove himself as a singles competitor again; then do a program with Jeff Hardy. Chavo gets suspended/forced to take a vacation by Vickie to prevent him from screwing with Mysterio before his title match at Unforgiven. Kennedy's tricky to get rid of.

I know Marella, Batista, Booker, and Masters were confirmed as customers, I don't believe (not yet anyway) that any of them have been said to have recieved drugs that violate the wellness policy.

According to Wikipedia his full name is Robert Booker Tio Huffman.

The next edition of TEW needs to include steroid related suspension and congressional hearings as features.

Curious if Booker is gone as well, as he's not mentioned in the SI article and this is the first time he's been mentioned in connection with something like this.

Is it anyway confirmed that all those are suspended or were simply clients of that particular pharmacy?

So long Raw heels. This Monday night is going to interesting. Get ready for your ECW fued of CM Punk vs. Big Daddy V.

Any chance of a remotely stable Iraq disappeared when the CPA pissed away every opportunity to successfully rebuild the infrastructure.

Morrison doesn't feel so much like a wrestler doing a promo as he does a guy from the street they asked to talk about some random people.

Hopefully Nick will resist his father's exaggerating ways when he appears in court. "Your honor was it was my $300,000 car. I drove it 200mph faster than anyone in Miami had ever gone in front of 80,000 people, in fact one passerby was blown away so much he died three days later."

I'm liking how different the three top heels on Raw are. Umaga's the monster, no motive except physically destroying people. Booker's the pompous ass, preferring to humiliate others so he looks good. And Orton? The disturbed sociopath, he'll hurt people in every way possible, their family included.

According to a list from PWInsider, New Years Revolution has been scrapped from the PPV schedule. With the rumors of Cyber Sunday turning into a 3 hour special the company might be back to 13 PPVs a year.

Kane pinned Finlay clean after a chokeslam. Umaga retained via samoan spike on Kennedy. Mysterio (looking like the silver surfer) pinned Chavo. Beth Phoenix won the battle royal. Morrison pinned Punk using the ropes, but that was botched. HHH pinned Booker via Pedigree after missed Houston Hangover. Khali was DQ'd for hitting Batista with a chair. Cena pinned Orton via FU.

Half of Unforgiven seems booked already. Orton/Cena II, Morrison/Punk IV, Batista/Khali II, and Booker/HHH II. For those who saw it, what were the star ratings for the various matches?

This PPV is a little too similar to last year's edition in regards to not much happening.
