Hello everyone! There’s plenty of news to get through, so let’s get to it!Retraction: TNA Knockout champion
Taylor is actually an Indy star named Shantelle Taylor.
Taylor hails from
Ontario, Canada, and has been honing her skills for a few years. She is NOT just some fan as previously stated, and I do apologize for the error. This information comes courtesy of Lance Storm’s official website, stormwrestling.com as well as en.wikipedia.org.

Sailormoon: Wikipedia has taken down the page that was up for Parallel Sailormoon, reducing much of the Sailormoon pages considerably. Whether or not this was maintenance related or not has yet to be seen, but mini-manga or not, Parallel Sailormoon is a vital part of the Sailormoon series, as it stars the daughters of the main characters. If you or anyone you know is affiliated with Wikipedia, please help get the Sailormoon pages full again and bring back Kousagi! Every Sailor Senshi drawn by Naoko Takeuchi counts! Remember, the future CAN change, at the end of StarS (manga) Usagi chooses to live “as she is” thus Kousagi’s manga CAN be considered cannon after all!

Get cracking everyone!

WWE: Hooooooooooo boy! Due to the PPV, SmackDown, Raw and ECW tapings since my last blog, I’m going to have to separate everything by show, in order of happenings:

SmackDown: Vicky did ONE thing smart last Friday, by having the wedding BEFORE the show, instead of in the ring. However, the curse of a wrestler’s wedding on television lingered on anyway. As the happy couple celebrated the night away on the titan tron, they ordered matches to anger fans and wrestlers alike. First was Big Show, who cutely danced with Vicky in jest, to the delight of the audience. He was then sent up against Khali, MVP, Vladmir Koslov and Mark Henry. Big Show fought bravely, until the match was thrown out, but was left at the mercy of the four individuals. Then after Vicky tossed the bouquet to the divas, she ordered Cherry to be decimated by Natalya, then she herself pinned Cherry. Then Edge ordered Matt and Jeff Hardy to face each other in a match. However, before their bout, the clever Hardy Boyz grabbed the wedding cake, and hurled it at the happy couple. The brothers’ match was cut short, when Edge’s brood joined in the fray. Brian “Spanky” Kendrick came out, unnervingly quiet and moody in a white coat, reminiscent of ROH’s Jimmy Jacobs. Spanky debuted a new bodyguard named Ezekiel~ a tall, muscular, dark skinned man who’s been training for his WWE debut for some time. Spanky scored a win over the returning Jimmy Wang Yang.Miz, Morrison, beat Jesse, Festus. More on this later.The explosive close of the show made fans believe it was Xmas in July, as HHH came out with a videotape. Apparently, Edge has been fooling around on the side with Vicky’s wedding planner, the cute and quiet Alicia Fox! Alicia, a former model, has been training in WWE developmental for some time, hoping to become a full fledged wrestler, instead of another pretty face. Alicia’s quiet and sincere demeanor temporarily gave was to Edge’s passionate side in the video HHH found.Needless to say, Vicky SCREAMED. Chavo began swearing in English and in Spanish, and Bam, Curt and Zach were left puzzled as to who to side with.Great American Bash: The annual flop continued to disappoint this year. Here’s a quick rundown of events: Mikey Whipwreck’s former students and Edge’s current boys Curt Hawkins and Zach Ryder, became the NEW tag team champions, after beating Miz, Morrison, Finlay, Hornswoggle, Jesse and Festus by a prayer.Shelton Benjamin became the NEW US Champion, after beating Matt Hardy for the belt.Colin Delaney went heel, costing Tommy Dreamer a win, thus Mark Henry is still your ECW champion.HBK and Y2J’s match ended in a win for
Jericho, due to ref stoppage. Shawn had said something to
Jericho during the fight, which must have been pretty personal, as
Jericho decided to toss the rules.
Jericho beat the daylights out of Shawn, and then began kicking Shawn in the eye, until he was pulled away. Shawn now has a detached retina, and may have suffered orbital damage, as his face was dark red with blood after the fight. Shawn also has a few cracked ribs and suffered from internal bleeding.Natalya Niedhart discovered that she has the family knees, as one was tweaked wrong by Michelle McCool during the fight for the new Diva’s belt. Natalya fought hard, but shockingly tapped out to Michelle, who is now holding the title.C.M. Punk and Batista’s match went to a double DQ, after Kane came out, and beat Punk and Batista like crazy. After the fight though, Batista was unaware that the match was over, as he speared Punk.JBL scored a victory over John Cena, after an UGLY fight that left Cena with glass imbedded in his back and both elbows, due to Cena being put through the windshield of a car.Edge spent so much time trying to tend to Vicky and Alicia on the outside, that he forgot all about HHH! Vicky clotheslined Alicia, the two women fought, Edge tried to hit Alicia for “ruining his life”, he speared Vicky, wasn’t sure how to take that, and then HHH layed him out, convinced that there’s something wrong with Edge. My advice? Wellness test Edge. TODAY.   Raw:Punk gave Batista a rematch, due to Kane’s interruptions at the PPV.Lance Cade KO’ed Paul
London.Beth Phoenix annihilated Kelly Kelly. Hacksaw Jim Duggan contemplated retirement, but Jerry “The King” Lawler and the fans got Jim to rethink that. Jim will stay. YAY! ^_^Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase JR came out and made fun of Jim and Jerry’s ages, remarking that neither of the two boys were even born yet when Jerry slapped the late Andy Kaufman. Jerry said “Oh really? It went something like this.” To wit, he slapped Cody so hard the boy spun and did a twirl. JBL then encouraged the boys to leave.John Cena and Cryme Time beat Cody, Ted JR and JBL. Cena’s dad was in the crowd.Paul Burchill and Katie Lea somehow scored a win over Mickie James and Kofi Kingston.D-LO BROWN IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!! Santino Marella foolishly announced a challenge to anyone in the back. D-lo, a native of
Chicago, came down to the ring, and quickly beat the hell out of Santino, much to the delight of the crowd. WELCOME BACK D-LO!!!After the beating, Beth came back out. At first, she and Santino traded loose holds, threatening to kill each other. But then, in a weird moment, Santino and Beth kissed!! O_o Beth and Santino then blushed, and walked away from each other.Former TNA guest Toby Keith and Jenny McCarthy will attend Saturday Night’s Main event this August, to help fight autism.Punk’s match with Batista almost didn’t happen, as Kane tried to KO Batista before the bell rang. However, after Kane left, Batista got up for the match. However, the match went to another double DQ, as JBL and Cena got involved. Cena had tried to take out JBL, but hit Batista by accident. Cena apologized, but Batista fought Cena anyways as the show came to an abrupt stop.ECW: Mark Henry was granted a brand new ECW title! The gorgeous new belt is platinum, with a shining ECW logo on the front. The straps are 2x the size of the average belt, providing a solid comfort for the champ. A clear shot can be seen here: http://impactwrestling.com/Content.aspx?ID=19136

Colin Delaney said that his choice to abandon Tommy Dreamer came out of frustration over constantly getting his butt beat, despite Tommy’s help. An irate Tommy Dreamer then came out, and decimated Colin in a sound beating. The match was a long time coming.

Matt “Evan Bourne” Sydal beat Indy star James Curtis in a swift match!

Matt Hardy beat Finlay, Miz and Morrison to become the #1 contender for Mark Henry’s title.

TNA: After a week of personal ups and downs with TNA, Kaz is reportedly quitting the company, at least for now. Kaz felt depressed after his hip and knee unexpectedly blew out on him at this year’s Victory Road PPV, and his sadness and guilt only grew stronger after Kaz lost a match to Petey Williams. Despite moral support from fans worldwide and from the TNA X Division, Kaz has decided to make one final appearance tonight on Karen Angle’s talk show, fulfill his legal obligations at the upcoming house shows, and then hang up his boots and leave TNA. Whether or not his soul searching will lead to a new job in the Indy market is uncertain, but Kaz certainly won’t be short on fan support if he does go Indy.

In other TNA news, last week’s iMPACT taping was high on drama. Sting’s odd behavior at

left TNA unable to answer the question of who the champion is. Samoa Joe was left with the decision, and Joe decided that although he is the champion by technicality, Booker T may hold the belt, for now. Joe has decided that he will face Booker T in a rematch at the next PPV, and kindly asked Booker T to keep the belt clean, until he can earn it back.

Joe had put on a brave face, but felt very unhappy over losing the belt the way he did. Even though Joe was knocked out by Sting hitting him from behind with a baseball bat, Joe felt ashamed of his loss. In a backstage segment, Kevin Nash told Joe not to doubt himself so much, and reassured him that the loss was not his fault. Fans at ringside agreed that Sting has lost his mind, and it was Sting’s fault for going nuts.

In two back to back matches, Matt Morgan beat Jimmy Rave and Lance Hoyt. Lance wants people to call him “Lance Rock” which may cause a stir with Viacom owned Nick JR, as their hit show “Yo Gabba Gabba” features a character also named DJ Lance Rock. Legal action has yet to be seen.

During the two hour taping, Team 3D and Kurt Angle jokes around, wearing Sting’s mask and coat, happy that tonight Sting is set to tag team with them. Also during the night, Bobby Roode and James Storm whipped several fans, TNA security, referees and even Hector Guerrero, in retaliation for the beating the duo suffered at the PPV.

By some freak twist, Velvet Sky won a battle royal against the entire Knockout division (sans Kong, Raisha and Taylor) and is now the #1 Contender to the title
Taylor has taken.

Sonjay Dutt won a three way match against Eric Young and Johnny Devine, but was then involved in an altercation with Jay Lethal. Jay and Sonjay went at it, but then So Cal Val demanded an end to the fight. As Jay went to talk to Val, Sonjay grabbed a nearby chair, hit the ring post, and then threw the chair to Jay, pretending that Jay had hit him. Somehow Val~ whom until this point wanted to hang Sonjay~ was disgusted by what she thought had happened, and stormed off, with Jay trying desperately to get her to come back.

Booker T defeated Consequences Creed in a stretcher match. Creed was happy to fight Booker T, and had buckets of charisma, much to the delight of the fans, but ultimately was no match for Booker T.

After the match, Booker T and Sharmell followed Creed’s carcass to the ambulance, where Samoa Joe played peek-a-boo from the ambulance, and commenced to whooping Booker T. Sharmell threatened to hit Joe with a nearby baseball bat, prompting Joe to ask her where the bat came from. She ran away, before Joe got an answer, however since the bat was black, one can only guess it belongs to crazy boy Sting. 

ROH: Erick Stevens is the new FIP champion, after beating Roderick Strong In Crystal River, FL in a brutal dog collar match! In other news, Claudio Castagnoli is threatening to quit if he doesn’t win his match this week for the ROH title! 

Mixed Media: Sandman got involved in a strange altercation in
Yonkers, New York, the hometown of Tommy Dreamer. It all started when Sandman went to the birthday party of Captain Lou Albano. (Happy belated B-day, Cap!!) Sandman gave a loving speech to
Albano, and then the party started. There were drinks and music, and Sandman accidentally knocked over a lamp, breaking it and the lavish restaurant the party was at. Immediately, the owner threw a tantrum over the lamp, and then screamed for help. The owner smacked Sandman, and then smacked him with a bottle! The two fought, until some of the other wrestlers pulled Sandman away, but just as they were, police arrived and opened fire!  No wrestlers were harmed, except for Sandman, and police quickly arrested Sandman. The other wrestlers have since tried explaining the situation to police, but police aren’t listening, as they are wrestlers. Police have even changed the story several times for the media, adding in extra fights that did NOT occur.

This moment on injustice is reminiscent of how blacks in the
United States are treated by the very same police, whom are sworn to protect them. This is NOT to say that all police are bad, but this is to say that there are some cranky uniforms out there, who need a lesson in “Shaddup and listen” before they begin jumping to conclusions. Just because a man is black, or a wrestler, does NOT mean he is a threat. This whole thing started with Sandman accidentally breaking one lamp.

In other news, WWE foolishly tried sending legal “cease and desist” letters to the Ultimate Warrior, trying to shut down an autograph signing of his. The incident began when Warrior set up a fan meet and greet, unaware that WWE’s PPV was being filmed live not that far from said signing. As a gesture of kindness, Warrior brought along the belt he won in the WWF, and allowed fans to take photos with it. WWE tried to stop the shoot, claiming that the WWF title is their intellectual property, but Warrior went ahead anyway, signing autographs for over 150 people! As a joke, he even posted the legal papers around his booth.

Well that’s it for now. PHEW what a lot! Keep your votes coming in for the Sailormoon poll! As always, stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!
