Goldust is now playing the Black Reign Character in TNA. He is a psychotic monster, who took over the personality of Dustin Rhodes.

Black Reign is by far Dustin's greatest character. His look is sick and he has the best theme in TNA. He reminds me of an evil Goldust gimmick in the mid 1990's.

Bob Orton Returning To WWE?, Lashley's Return, More
09/30/2007 by Ryan Clark
WWE Hall of Famer "Cowboy" Bob Orton has come up as being asked for a cameo in the Cena vs. Orton feud. If he does come back, he probably won't be doing anything physical due to concerns about his blood. He has Hepatitis in his background. He was let go in early 2006 due to it. Bob Orton bladed during the Taker vs. Orton Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon 2005 and bled on both Randy and Undertaker. However, he didn't tell officials about his Hepatitis problem beforehand, and was subsequently let go as a result.
Bobby Lashley should be returning to action in December. He is currently out after having shoulder surgery in August.
BoxOfficeMojo.com has reported that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's latest motion picture release opened at Number 1 for it's first night and will likely be #1 for entire the opening weekend. "The Game Plan" was shown on 3,103 theaters and earned $6,250,000 in its opening night. The Rock's movie outdrew Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx's new film "The Kingdom". Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has received very good reviews for his role in The Game Plan
The Actual Debut of Edge (WCW 1996)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=bJoxLtgO8SU
Edge debuted before 1998. In 1996, Adam Copeland was hired as a jobber for a match against Meng and went by the name Damon Striker. WCW considered hiring him but he quickly left because he thought it was the worst gimmick ever
Edge Wrestling match in WCW circa 1995-96

A match between The Taskmasker (with The Giant and Jimmy Hart in his corner) against the rookie Damon Striker (a young Edge when he was still a jobber in WCW)

Gotta watch this to believe it...Edge, the former World Heavyweight Champion jobbing in WCW.

Black Reign(Dustin Rhodes) Vs Sharkboy
Dustin is one of the most of underated wrestlers out there. The guy can act the character if it is described the right way. I mean look at his track record:
Goldust, Artist formely known as Goldust, Seven, "The American Nightmare", Black Reign, and himself.
Runnels has done different gimmicks and his mic skills, like his dad, has that rawness that not one new wrestler can ever do.
Terrible decision by WCW then...Edge is great at playing the superheel!But again...it took the WWE several years 2 discover that.Originally Posted by Lebron23

Spoiler Plans For Randy Orton & RAW Tonight
10/01/2007 by Ryan Clark
The following is from WWE.com:
Inside sources have informed WWE.com that Randy Orton will not be at Raw for the second week in a row. Rumor has it that the Legend Killer has fled to Chicago, the site of Sunday’s No Mercy pay-per-view, and has contacted a local TV station to conduct an interview that will air live on tonight’s show.
One source at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland said when the news broke that Orton wouldn’t be there, people immediately came to one conclusion • the Legend Killer is running scared.
“Randy Orton isn’t stupid; he knows that Cena is willing to do whatever it takes to get back at him for what he’s done,” said one source. “Staying out of Cena’s reach means Orton will avoid a fight before Sunday • which is basically a guarantee if the two are in the same vicinity.”
With Orton refusing to return any phone calls from WWE.com, his interview tonight will hopefully shed some light on what has become the hot topic before tonight’s Raw.
ALSO ON RAW TONIGHT:
- WWE Champion John Cena vs. Mr. Kennedy.
- Triple H vs. Vince McMahon.

(2) Cody Rhodes vs. Hardcore Holly
solid match. Holly sneaks in an Alabama Slam for the victory, Holly stares at Cody for a while before shaking his head and walking away.
- Beth Phoenix makes her way to the ring, Lilian goes to leave but Beth stops and asks her to have a practice at announcing Beth as the new Women’s Champion, Lilian does but adds “assuming you can beat Candice” on the end of it.

(3) Mr. McMahon vs. Triple H
Before Triple H comes out, McMahon shows the video of Triple H taking out Umaga with the sledgehammer last month. McMahon cuts H’s entrance short and yells to get on with fighting, McMahon realizes there is no referee so he yells for one, out comes Carlito with a referee shirt on, he will be the official. McMahon slaps H before the bell rings. The match officially starts and Vince keeps running from the ring, H eventually catches Vince and pummels him on the outside, Carlito gets in H’s face and shoves him, H shoves him back and puts McMahon in the ring, he goes for the Pedigree but Carlito hits the Backstabber on HHH, he puts Vince on top and tries to fast count H down but he manages to kick out. Triple H then low blows Vince and attacks Carlito, Carlito disqualifies HHH giving Vince the win for the 2nd week in a row. Umaga makes his way to the ring and he and HHH go at it, Umaga eventually gets the advantage hitting HHH with his running turnbuckle move, Umaga seta up H for the Samoan Spike but Carlito decides to knock H from the ring, Umaga is angry with Carlito and yells at him, Carlito backs up the ramp allowing H time to recover, he has his sledgehammer in hand, Umaga looks to not be backing down but Vince persuades him to leave it until No Mercy. Triple H is stood in the ring yelling at Vince and Umaga.
- “Marella at the Movies” is a new segment in the ring, the set is a red carpet with 2 directors chairs. Santino and Maria make their way to the ring, Santino says this week he is going to review The Condemned. Santino bashes the movie, Maria says she actually likes Stone Cold and enjoyed the movie. Santino shows a video package with himself in it saying that is how the movie should have ended. Val Venis cuts Santino off and makes his way to the ring. Val says he has experience in the movie business, he then asks Maria if she would like to star in his new movie, the sequel to “Mr. Woodcock!” Marella tries to take Maria away, Val says she could always star in a movie about Santino’s love making skills, “Superbag!”. Santino attacks Val targeting his knee, he leaves Val lying on the mat.

At No Mercy he will not stay down, no matter what Orton hits him with he will keep getting up and at No Mercy he will give them something “they” won’t forget.
(4) Melina vs. Mickie James
Melina has the advantage, she sets up Mickie for a reverse-DDT but starts screaming, we then see it’s because Hornswoggle has popped his head up through the ring skirt, this distraction allows Mickie to roll up Melina for the win. After the match Melina chases Hornswoggle under the ring, they are under there for a few seconds until Hornswoggle comes out the other side with Melina’s top in his hands! He then goes back under and Melina can be heard screaming from under the ring, he then comes back out with Melina’s wrestling tights! Melina is no *!&, hot pics below! Hornswoggle skips away up the ramp as Melina has her head popped out the side of the ring skirt screaming at Hornswoggle to give her her clothes back!
- In Regal’s office he is yelling at Hornswoggle to give Melina her clothes back. He starts kicking himself in the head and Regal asks where he got that from, Hornswoggle points behind Regal and Steve-O is stood there, he says he is going to find a wuss to turn into a man.
- J.R. and King run down the No Mercy card
- Steve-O approaches Ron Simmons backstage and claims he can make Simmons more manly, Simmons throws Steve-O through the exit and yells “Damn”
(5) WWE Champion John Cena vs. Mr. Kennedy
Good match, fans are split . Cena wins with the STFU. After the match Randy Orton appears behind Cena and RKO’s him, he then takes Cena to the outside and hits him with the steel steps. He then puts Cena on the announce table and RKO’s him on it, Cena rolls onto the floor, Orton gets in Cena’s face and yells 1 to 10, Cena fails to respond. Orton gets in the ring and stares down at Cena with a sadistic look.
- Before Raw goes off air, Steve-O comes back in the door and gets in Simmons face. Simmons asks if Steve-O has somewhere he needs to be. He says yeah, his show starts now, so Simmons throws him out the door again
Bret Hart Returning To WWE, Umaga/HHH/RAW Tonight
10/01/2007 by Ryan Clark
Look for Umaga to return tonight on RAW and get involved in the Vince McMahon vs. Triple H match. It'll set up Triple H vs. Umaga for No Mercy.
Edge has been telling people that he'll be back in about a month.
Believe it or not, Bret Hart is said to be open to doing something with the new Hart Foundation. It may have something to do with him introducing the group. This wouldn't be a full-time return obviously. No word on if he would appear live but it's not out of the question.
He is the excellent of execution and one of the most respectable wrestler of all time. Bret Hart has buried the Montreal Screw Job and he wants to make sure his nephew and niece will have a well rounded reception in WWE
WWF is Bret Hart, He is their main man from (1993-1997)
Breaking News: John Cena Out 6-8 Months
10/02/2007 by Ryan Clark
The following is from WWE.com.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. • WWE Champion John Cena has suffered a complete tear of his right pectoral tendon and is heading into surgery, according to noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Because of the seriousness of the injury, WWE officials will not allow Cena to compete this Sunday at No Mercy, and he will have no choice but to surrender the title.
Dr. Andrews said Cena could miss between six and eight months of action. Cena was injured during his match Monday night on Raw with Mr. Kennedy. Before visiting Dr. Andrews, Cena had said, “No matter how serious, the injury, one way or another I’ll be ready to compete on Sunday.”
But despite Cena’s vow, WWE officials will not allow him to compete at No Mercy. Therefore, he must surrender the WWE Championship.
WWE officials vow that there will be a WWE Championship Match this Sunday at No Mercy and a new WWE Champion will be crowned.
Stay with WWE.com for further updates on Cena’s condition and on No Mercy as they become available.
John Cena To Miss WrestleMania, Stripped Of The Title
10/02/2007 by Ryan Clark
As noted earlier, WWE Champion John Cena suffered a complete right pectoral tendon tear Monday night on Raw. Surgery is required. As a result, Cena will be out of action 6-8 months. This is such a huge blow to WWE at a time where many stars are out with injuries and others aren't on the road full-time. Cena was the top draw for RAW and the house shows as well.
Cena could be back at the earliest in April (meaning he will miss Wrestlemania) and at the worst, June 2008.
John Cena will be stripped of the WWE championship with a new champion slated to be crowned this Sunday at the No Mercy PPV in Chicago.

I know Triple H is slated to face Umaga at No Mercy, but I could almost see them dropping that and putting the Game in a match against Orton for the title. It makes sense. It was against RKO when Triple H tore his quad. It was also Orton who took out Triple H's good buddy Shawn Michaels. This has been building for a long time.
Maybe they could put Umaga in that match too.Although I would prefer the title 2 go 2 MISTERRRRR KENNEDY...Kennedy!Originally Posted by BBallfanJ

Looks like they're planning a 24 man battle royal for the vacant title. Just like when Edge had to relinquish the World title and Khali won the battle royal, or when Batista had to relinquish and Kurt Angle won the battle royal. Triple H, Orton and Umaga are all in it. Interestingly enough, no Chris Jericho. I wonder if they're planning for him to be a surprise participant or if he'll show up and challenge the winner at the end.
24 man BR???Where r they gonna find 24 wrestlers in Raw?I don't think after so many injuries there r 20 left!Can I participate too in order 2 fill the number?Originally Posted by BBallfanJ

I don't know. WWE.com has a poll on who will win the title, with 24 names on it. So I assumed they're planning a battle royal, but I might be wrong. Like battle royals in the past, the list includes a bunch of longshots, tag team wrestlers, etc.
I think that I've seen that poll.I don't know how that could affect the outcome.No4 in votes was Val Venis!!!Originally Posted by BBallfanJ
I wouldn't like a BR though.Replacing the main event(Cena vs Orton) with a Battle Royal is not a good choice.

What I would do is go for the elimination chamber with six wrestlers. Maybe:
Triple H
Randy Orton
Umaga
Jeff Hardy
Mr. Kennedy
surprise participant: Chris Jericho
With so many injuries and recent suspensions, the choices aren't great, but this might be better than a battle royal.
Umaga Headed To SD?, Mark Henry Headed To RAW?
10/04/2007 by Ryan Clark
Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
There WAS talk of doing a trade that would send Mark Henry to Raw and Umaga to SmackDown. This is basically a way to provide fresh opponents for each brand's top babyfaces.
McMahon is very interested in doing an Undertaker vs. Umaga feud. Mark Henry would have likely feuded with John Cena before he got injured since Raw is so low on fresh heels.
Henry's program with Undertaker appears to be through after he was soundly defeated by him yet again at last Tuesday's SmackDown taping. That match was probably Henry's write-off from SmackDown. Umaga's program with Triple H will likely end soon as well.
This could have all changed now that Cena is injured and out for months.
