On Monday’s post-Battleground edition of WWE RAW, the main event for the October 27th WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view from Miami, Florida was announced.

In a move that should come as a surprise to absolutely nobody, it was announced that a rematch between Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan would be held in a Hell In A Cell match, where a new WWE Champion was guaranteed to be determined on the night.

Additionally, it was announced that the match would feature a special guest referee.

-Monday’s WWE RAW, the post-Battleground edition of the show, opened with Stephanie McMahon calling out Big Show to explain his actions in ruining the WWE Championship main event between Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton at Sunday’s pay-per-view. Big Show acted nonchalant about his actions and refused orders to beg the WWE Universe for forgiveness. Additionally, Big Show revealed that he knocked out Bryan per orders of Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, and knocked out Orton and the returning senior official, Scott Armstrong, because he had enough. As a result, Stephanie McMahon slapped Big Show in the face multiple times and then “fired” him from the company.

-Also on Monday’s RAW, WWE Hall Of Famer Bob Backlund made an appearance. As noted recently, Backlund appeared at some of the recent WWE non-televised live events, including Friday’s show in Syracuse, New York. Backlund appeared as one of three WWE Hall Of Famers who the WWE Universe could vote for as the special referee for the WWE Hell In A Cell main event between Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan.

Hulk Hogan Does Promotional Interview For This Week’s Impact Wrestling Taping

Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, who “quit” TNA on last week’s taped edition of Impact Wrestling on Spike TV, recently did a promotional interview for this week’s TNA television taping in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

While Hogan mentioned that he may not be at the taping this week, it is a bit curious when stepping outside of the storylines and analyzing the real-life contract situation with Hogan and TNA, considering the fact that Hogan’s contract reportedly expired on October 1st, and he is still promoting future TNA events.

Hogan, who played up his television feud with company president Dixie Carter, told the Tulsa World recently, “I think Dixie has flipped the switch or something, she’s off on a tangent here.”

Additionally, Hogan spoke as if he is still part of the behind-the-scenes effort to build the current TNA television product by saying, “It’s an artform and a lot of the artform has been lost because the TV demands that things happen fast and get out of the ring. So we’re trying to make wrestling how it should be.”

WWE RAW Results (10/7): Big Show Fired, HBK Returns, Cena’s Return Announced

Staff

Tonight’s WWE RAW opens up with a recap of the Battleground main event and the Big Show causing the match to end in a no contest.

Inside the arena, Justin Roberts introduces Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie says last night’s match between Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton was ruined. Both men are livid and it’s all because of the actions of one selfish man – and tonight, he’ll have to answer to everybody. She calls out the Big Show.

Big Show comes out and starts to explain himself before Stephanie screams at him to shut up. She says she understands he makes bad decisions when he’s under pressure and asks him what he has to say for himself. Big Show apologizes. She mocks him and says he’s a sorry pathetic excuse of life. Triple H has bailed him out countless times and they even bought off his mortgage when he got into financial trouble. It’s time for him to man up and take responsibility for his actions.

Big Show asks if he can leave. Stephanie says no and pokes him in the chest. She says they don’t just own his home – they own him. He doesn’t have the right to free will. They have to personally approve everything he does – and now, it’s time for him to beg for forgiveness. She demands he gets down on his knees and beg. He won’t do it. She calls him worthless and says he’s got no soul. Big Show says he knocked out Randy Orton because he couldn’t take it anymore. He knocked out Daniel Bryan because she told him to. Stephanie denies it and slaps him in the face. Several times. She then fires him and makes him leave the ring.

Later tonight – it will be Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes & Goldust vs. The Shield in a 6-man tag match.

Dolph Ziggler’s music hits and the Show Off is out for the opening match of the night. He’ll be facing Damien Sandow in a rematch of last night’s match at Battleground.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Damien Sandow

Sandow gets the upper hand early, using his size to dominate Ziggler for several minutes. Sandow is totally dominating, with power moves and submission holds. Ziggler finally gets some offense in by poking Sandow in the eye -but it doesn’t last long. Sandow throws him outside of the ring.

Back from commercial, Sandow is in control inside the ring. Ziggler has barely gotten any offense in, with Sandow showing some serious aggression. Michael Cole says that Big Show has been escorted out of the arena by security. Ziggler tries fighting back but it’s a futile effort, as Sandow throws him out of the ring again. Sandow works him over on the outside and slams his head into the ringside post. Back inside, Sandow remains in control. Ziggler moves out of the way as Sandow was running at him in the corner and finally unloads on the Money in the Bank briefcase holder. Zigglers some offensin and is now in control as both men brawl on the outside. In the ring, Ziggler punches Sandow in the corner 10 times and hits a neck breaker and dropkick. 2 count for Ziggler. Dolph goes for the Zig Zag but Sandow shakes him off. Ziggler goes up top but Sandow runs to the ropes and knocks Ziggler down. 2 count for Sandow. Ziggler hits a Fame Asser and gets the 3 count out of nowhere.

Winner: Dolph Ziggler

WWE.com is reporting that Divas Champion AJ Lee left Raw due to concussion-like symptoms.

WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann says:

“We spoke with AJ and she informed us that … she struck her head against the turnbuckle and was having headaches and some difficulty remembering her match.”

“We examined her and noted that she had some problems with balance and memory recall. She was, therefore, diagnosed with a concussion, instructed to rest and not do anything either physically or psychologically strenuous.”

The article notes that AJ underwent testing on Monday and will eventually undergo impact testing.

Mick Foley Blogs On Goldust’s WWE Comeback, Says He Has One More Run Left

The following is a new blog written by Mick Foley on Goldust’s recent WWE comeback:

“Just yesterday, I posted on Facebook about my 10 year old son’s prediction that the Goldust/Cody vs Shield match was going to steal the show at Battleground. He even prefaced it by saying “I know Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton are going to have a great match, but…”.

Last night, Goldust proved to me that his match with Randy Orton was much more than just a flirtation with greatness. As a guy who knows a little something about making comebacks, I thought, following that amazing effort against Randy Orton that Goldust may have had just enough passion and commitment to have that last great match of his career. But last night’s match at Battleground proved to me that Goldust has something even more important than the passion and commitment needed to have that one last great match. What he has is gas in the tank!

As much as i loved the match with Orton, Dustin seemed to be running on fumes those last few minutes. He clearly had worked himself into the best physical condition I’d seen him in for many years, but being in “gym shape” and “ring shape” are two entirely different animals. But what a joyride the Rhodes family took us on last night! From that pre-match promo that had proud Poppa Dusty unable to contain his composure, to the crisp execution of every move, to the finish that had the Foley family literally jumping for joy in the living room, (I didn’t get much air, but I DID momentarily leave my feet) the victory over The Shield reminded me of everything I love about wrestling. It was an emotional roller-coaster ride of epic proportions!

With the Orton match and last night’s triumph to his credit, Goldust has proven to me that he has what it takes for one more run in WWE.”

Former WWE Ref Holding Seminar, Foley Comedy Review, WWE 2K14 Trends Worldwide

Matt Boone

-The Dallas Observer website recently published a review of the recent comedy performance by WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley in their city. Fans interested in checking out that article can do so online at DallasObserver.com.

-The term “#WWE2K14” trended number one overall on Twitter for a decent amount of time on Monday afternoon.

SESCOOPS.COM reader Joe Dombrowski sent along the following:

REFEREE SEMINAR SCHEDULED WITH FORMER WWE OFFICIAL JIMMY KORDERAS!

The professional wrestling referee is sometimes a lost or overlooked art in our industry. With the attention and spotlight firmly on the athletes performing in-ring, oftentimes its easy to dismiss the importance of an announcer, manager, or especially a referee in regards to the overall puzzle being put together. However, a bad referee can make a good match stink and make an ok match great just by knowing what to do, when, why, and how.

Now, in a very rare opportunity, legendary WWE referee Jimmy Korderas will open up about the ins and outs, rights and wrongs, subtleties and nuances of being a professional wrestling referee in a special seminar on Saturday afternoon, October 19 at 2pm at the IWC’s Iron City Wrestling Acadamy, just south of Pittsburgh, PA. Cost for the seminar is only $20 and is open to both current independent wrestling referees and referees in training.

Jimmy Korderas’ WWE career spans 22 years and thousands of marquee matches viewed by millions of people. Starting on the bottom in the 1980s, officiating WWF Live Events in the Ontario region, through hard work and perseverance, Jimmy worked his way up to the main event of WrestleMania, and was even specifically requested by both The Undertaker and Edge to officiate their main event World Championship match at WrestleMania 24. Whether it was being nearly set on fire by Kane, or “crossing the picket lines” during the infamous WWF referees strike angle of 1999, Korderas has seen, experienced, and taken part in nearly every wild and memorable scenario possible during his lengthy WWE tenure, and performed his job with dignity and honor through all the chaos.

During this seminar, you’ll be able to work out in-ring with, as well as speak to Jimmy, as he will stress referee psychology, what to do, and more importantly what not to do. You’ll learn proper conduct, what your role actually is in the course of a match, the correct way to interact with the in-ring talent (both in the ring and in the locker room), proper ring positioning, relaying information to the talent, how to recognize serious and legitimate injuries, what WWE looks for when scouting potential referee hirees, a Q&A session to address any specific concerns or queries and much more! There are so few opportunites for independent wrestling referees to learn from someone who has done it in any of the top companies, but now you can learn how to do things like the best of the best do! This is the first time Jimmy has done anything like this in the United States, and who knows when you’ll get this opportunity again!

Furthermore, this seminar will be your opportunity to appear on an upcoming DVD being produced starring Jimmy, as this session will be filmed for future use!

To reserve your spot, please e-mail [email protected] to reserve your place and also to arrange payment of $20 fee and receive further information. Take your officiating to the next level by learning from Jimmy Korderas on October 19!

TNA star Austin Aries was recently interviewed by Mike Mooneyham of The Post and Courier and spoke about never getting the opportunity to work for WWE:

“I don’t worry about that. They’ve had opportunities to sign me, and for whatever reason or measuring stick they were using, they didn’t see fit to give me an opportunity. I don’t know all the ins and outs of those decisions, and I don’t really dwell on it.”

He also commented on Hulk Hogan’s departure from TNA:

“Hogan is doing whatever’s good for Hogan … just like he’s done his whole career and just like he should continue to do. And if that means staying with TNA, great. If that means going to some other venture, then I wish him all the luck.”

Jim Ross Blog: The Finish To Orton vs. Bryan, Rhodes Family vs. The Shield

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog at JRsBarBQ.com with his thoughts on last night’s WWE Battleground pay-per-view. Here are some highlights of what JR wrote about

The Main Event Finish: Controversy abounds following the WWE PPV Battle Ground Sunday night in Buffalo. Many fans hitting me on Twitter @JRsBBQ with ample venom regarding the finish of the show. Obviously, it was a way to continue a storyline between Bryan and Orton. Pro wrestling creative is more subjective today that ever in my lifetime. Like most theatrical productions that I watch, I enjoyed some aspects of the PPV and wasn’t as enthralled with some of the other content.

The Rhodes Family vs. The Shield The payoff on the personal issue involving the Rhodes clan and the Shield, representing the establishment, was spot on in my view. The spotlight was on Cody Rhodes as it should have been. Now, let’s see where it goes from here and if Cody evolves into the main event level superstar that many feel he is capable of doing.

Loved the post match nuance of the stars, both old and new, congratulating the Rhodes family. Plus, I got the one, Bionic Elbow that I was hoping for from the Dream. There is no doubt that Goldust can still contribute in today’s WWE at least for the short term IE through WM30.

-Former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson has officially signed a new endorsement deal with Phenix Salon Products. The following is the official press release with more details on the deal:

Phenix Salon Products Signs Celebrity Spokesperson, Model and Entertainer, Torrie Wilson

Phenix Salon Products is pleased to announce a new endorsement deal with former WWE Wrestling Diva, fitness model and spokesperson, Torrie Wilson. Phenix Salon Suites is the fastest growing “Salon Suite” company in the beauty industry, with over 1500 Salon Professionals nationwide. The company works in 43 existing locations now, with an additional 65 locations that are planned to open in 2014. The founders of Phenix Salon Suites, Jason and Gina Rivera, are releasing their new Phenix Salon products in early 2014.

According to the CEO of Phenix Salon Products, Jason Rivera, Wilson’s background in modeling, fitness and the entertainment industry provides the perfect blend for promoting the company’s product line and culture. Wilson, who began her career as a Miss Galaxy winner and model, went on to become one of the most well-known wrestling divas in the history of the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). For nine years, Wilson appeared regularly on shows such as Smackdown, Monday Night Raw and Wrestlemania. Her name and image have graced thousands of posters, shirts and promotional items created by the WWE.

Wilson has also appeared on multiple magazine covers including Maxim, FHM, Raw, Muscle & Fitness, Curves, Ironman, Divas, Pump and Muscle Planet. In 2007 Wilson was listed on FHM’s “100 Sexiest Women in the World” list.

“I am so excited to be teaming up with Phenix! As the ultimate beauty junkie, joining forces with a company who represents the hair and beauty industry with such class and cutting-edge sophistication is quite an honor,” said Wilson. “I am also honored to be representing this fantastic new line of products that is going to blow people away!”

Wilson was featured in music videos including Timbaland’s video, “Throw It On Me,” and Lilian Garcia’s music video, “U Drive Me Loca.” Beyond the WWE, she appeared on Project Runway, and in the NBC reality show, I’m a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here!, where she won second place.

“We are honored to have Torrie Wilson as part of the Phenix Family! Torrie embodies the Phenix Culture and what our company is about,” said Rivera. “Her enthusiasm for beauty and style parallels the strong family tradition of the Phenix brand that has spanned over 84 years.”

“We are excited to release our signature product, “Ash by Phenix,” in the next few months, and Torrie will be a great spokesperson for this product!”

Phenix Salon Products was founded by a family with more than two dozen hair stylists in the immediate family tree. Since 1929, Phenix has created salons that are home for thousands of salon professionals across the country.

On every Phenix Salon Product, there is a small ribbon with the caption “Love You Mom.” A portion of the proceeds from each product sold goes to cancer research in honor of the mother of co-founder Gina Rivera, who passed away of pancreatic cancer.

The much anticipated release of “Ash by Phenix is scheduled for January, 2014. The Vintage Volume Lifter is a specifically formulated, dry volume lifter that is pumped into the hair shaft by an atomizer for complete distribution. The scientific formula creates a tremendous amount of volume in the hair. This product has been years in the making and will be the first of its kind in the United States. “We have tested Ash by Phenix in some of our salons across the US and the buzz and excitement is out. We have customers who can’t wait for this product, which is currently in production,” said Rivera.

Phenix Salon Products has set up a temporary site at Shoplocket to take pre-orders of “Ash by Phenix.” For more information, please visit https://www.shoplocket.com/products/AevBH-phenix-salon-products

Mickie James Speaks On Her TNA Status, Pay Issues In TNA, Total Divas & More

Matt Boone

The following are highlights from a recent RVA Magazine interview with former TNA Knockout and WWE Diva Mickie James:

On her TNA Impact Wrestling status: “I can’t really speak on my status right now. Honestly though, I’m not technically under contract with them right now. As far as TNA itself, I wasn’t at the last TV so I can’t speak on that. The company is in the midst of change obviously and that process of changing over.”

On recent changes and pay issues in TNA: “They’ve gone live on the road and they just brought in this new head of talent [John Gaburick] who was with WWE for twenty years or so. I feel like there’s good energy around it, but in the midst of change, people get scared and there’s a bit of that as well. It’s hard to really say. There were rumors and speculation about late paychecks, but my paycheck was never late. It’s not untrue though; I do know that was an issue with some of the people.”

On how the WWE Divas division has changed over the years: “Honestly, when I came in, there was still that Golden Era of Women’s wrestling for WWE. There was Trish [Stratus] and Lita there to legitimately pass that torch of credibility. They were genuine wrestling athletes. They weren’t just characters or beautiful women. They could go in there, wrestle like the men, kick serious ass, and hold that spot. I was very fortunate to have that coming in and be in that transitional phase. As they were leaving, it was myself, Melina, Beth Phoenix; all the girls that kind of grew up on the Indy scene. We all kind of came in that same way, that grass roots kind of way. We fought and clawed our way up the Indy scene to try and make a name for ourselves and build credibility just so WWE would take a look at us in the first place.”

On the WWE Total Divas reality show: “I don’t think that there’s anyone there who legitimately has had that torch passed to them in a way so that’s the main difference to me. There are obviously legit wrestlers like Nattie and I think Alicia Fox is great. I think it’d be great for someone to come in and take that division to a whole new level. I’m not sitting here burying those girls though because obviously they’re on TV, doing a great job, and they have the Divas reality show. I think that show is awesome because it’s giving depth to those characters that you wouldn’t necessarily know anything about other than they are great wrestlers. You don’t know anything about their personal lives and it’s kind of opening that door to get people more emotional invested into them. But yeah, I think having someone pass the torch would be great for those girls.”
