Alex Shelley (with Chris Sabin) def. Eric Young in an X Division Title tournament match
Early in the match, Sabin reached up and pulled Eric off the ring apron when the referee was not looking. Eric hit a top rope elbow drop for a good nearfall. Moments later, the Machine Guns collided on the ring apron when Sabin tried to interfere. Eric decided to stick his head through the ropes for no reason, so Sabin took advantage of the situation and interfered. Shelley hit Sliced Bread No. 2 and scored the clean pin.

After the match, Sheik Abdul Bashir came out and roughed up Shawn Sewell. Bashir attacked Sewell and threw him back inside the ring. Sewell came back with an flying forearm. Sewell ripped off his shirt and got the better of Bashir. He eventually cleared Bashir from the ring.

Jim Cornette ran out and told Sewell to stay put. Cornette told Sewell he's a referee, not a wrestler. Cornette fired Sewell as Bashir celebrated in the background. Cornette turned his attention to Bashir. Cornette turned the tables by saying that Sewell was fired for three days. He announced that Sewell would be back on the TNA payroll as a wrestler on Sunday when he faces Bashir at Genesis.

The Main Event Mafia stood in the ring for a promo. Kurt Angle talked first and said the faction was formed so that they could run the company the way they want to. Shots aired of Jeremy Borash standing in Jeff Jarrett's locker room with Mick Foley. Angle questioned why Jarrett would put BG James in the ring with him.

Sting took the mic and said the Mafia is still all about respect. He predicted that the war would end at Genesis. Kevin Nash stepped up and said he didn't think the feud would end there. Scott Steiner delivered a brief line and then turned over the mic to Booker T, who said they were coming for Jarrett and Foley.

Backstage, Borash asked Jarrett and Foley how they would survive with the Mafia after them. Brother Devon and AJ Styles entered the room. Devon said they would survive by sticking close to them. He handed Foley the Brother Ray's flannel shirt. "Testify," Foley said.

The latest Sarah Palin impersonator and Beautiful People skit aired. She took them to a farm to do charity work as "training" for their White House appearance. For some reason, Lauren was there with them holding the microphone. Angelina Love and Velvet Sky flipped because she wanted them to shovel horse manure.

Awesome Kong (with Raisha Saeed, Rhaka Khan and Sojourner Bolt) def. Madison Rayne
Kong hit the Awesome Bomb for the pin and win in just two minutes.

Backstage, Lauren interviewed Abyss, who said Matt Morgan doesn't want to talk to him. He said Beer Money took advantage of him by getting him drunk; Beer Money shouldn't mistake his kindness for weakness. He said his therapist told him the key to any good relationship is communication. He laughed as he said the old Abyss might come out at Genesis. He asked if Lauren was mad at him. She said no.

Backstage, Lauren interviewed the Latin American Xchange about winning the briefcases. Homicide said he will be the TNA X Division Champion, and Homicide will be the next TNA Heavyweight Champion. Lauren asked whether this will be the end of LAX. Homicide said that LAX will never die.

Backstage, Borash asked Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin whether their X Division Title match would create problems in their friendship. Sabin basically mocked the belt by sarcastically saying: "Gosh, Jeremy, what an interesting, intriguing, insightful question. Is the X Division Championship belt more important than the bond that we hold? Gosh, I don't know, that's a tough one."

Shelley joked around about how best things come in pairs, such as Mick Foley and poor hygiene. Shelley said their bond is more important than the X Division belt. Foley entered the scene and said they have the ability to steal the show or take it to a "level of sucktitude not seen since (Bill) Kazmaier and Oz in 1992". He said they would go all out on Sunday or he would ship them back to Detroit with a one way ticket.

The latest edition of Rough Cuts aired with Beer Money. They both said the TNA Title is at the top of their list of goals. Storm said his daughter is the most important thing in the world to him. Roode said his legacy will be that he was one of the best wrestlers to ever get in the ring. Storm said he hopes people remember that he entertained them.

Matt Morgan (with Abyss) def. Robert Roode (with James Storm and Jacqueline) by referee stoppage
Abyss came out after Morgan, who told him to back off. Morgan sent Roode over the top rope and Roode came up holding his left knee in pain. The trainer came out to examine Roode's knee. The referee called for the bell and named Morgan the winner of the match. A shot aired of "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed walking onto the stage with the Feast or Fired briefcase that Lethal won.

Lethal said everyone knows the rules of Feast or Fired. He said they could cash in their briefcases anytime they wanted, so he was cashing in his on the spot.

Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed def. Beer Money (with Jacqueline) to win the TNA Tag Team Titles
Storm worked the match in street clothes, while Roode nursed his bad knee at ringside. After the break, the babyfaces continued to work over Storm, who survived some nearfalls. Storm not only survived, he scored a nearfall of his own on Lethal when he hit the Eye of the Storm. Roode remained at ringside and played cheerleader with Jackie. Lethal hit the top rope elbow, but the referee was distracted. Roode crawled in with the briefcase, but Lethal saw him and kicked his knee. Lethal grabbed the briefcase and struck Storm with it. Lethal covered Storm for the 1-2-3.

Lethal and Creed celebrated their victory over the Beer Money. Lauren asked Devon what was going through his mind. Devon said the important thing was to let Machismo and Creed enjoy the moment.

Mike Tenay and Don West announced Lethal and Creed vs. Beer Money vs. Matt Morgan and Abyss in a three-way for the tag titles at the PPV. They ran through the rest of the lineup again. Tenay said the match we've all been waiting for is Jarrett vs. Angle.

Backstage, Borash stood by while a tearful BG James told Jarrett that he had to go after Angle for everything he said about his late wife and children. He said Jarrett has always taken care of him and he had to do this for him.

Angelina Love and Velvet Sky shoved shit while "Palin" stood by. Lauren continued to hold the microphone while Palin said they would sign official documents next week to make them official members of her "cabinet". Then they're heading to the White House.

Kurt Angle def. BG James in a No Disqualification match
James came out and hid on the side of the stage, then attacked Angle when he made his entrance. James controlled the early action, but Angle whipped him into the ring post. James bladed. Angle pounded away on his head at ringside. James made a comeback and hit the Pumphandle Slam for a nearfall. Angle came back with the ankle lock, but James kicked him off. However, Angle hit the Angle Slam a short time later for a nearfall. In the end, Angle applied the Ankle Lock. James held on forever and reached the ropes, but Tenay pointed out that the referee couldn't force Angle to break the hold in a No DQ match. James eventually tapped out.

After the match, Booker T, Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash walked to the ring. Angle worked over James with punches. Then, he placed the chair around James' ankle and stomped it repeatedly. Jarrett and Foley ran out and the Mafia fled even though they had them outnumbered.

BG James was carted off on a stretcher. Jarrett was seated in a chair inside the ring while Foley, Devon, Styles, and Rhino stood by. Jarrett looked at the ground while cutting a promo. He said BG had nothing to do with it. "I have prided myself on setting an example of doing things the right way everytime," Jarrett said. "Kurt, that's character. But this Sunday, Kurt, all I can think about is beating the shit out of you." Jarrett stood up and looked into the camera. "Kurt, I'm talking to you, you son of a bitch!"

Foley patted him on the back to calm him down and then took the mic. Foley said he couldn't help but feel ashamed. He recalled telling the Mafia that Foley is crossing the line. He said he couldn't help but think he looked bad on the HD screen. He pointed out that one of his bottom teeth is gray. He said he's looking rough. He said the tooth is gray because that same tooth was jammed up his nose 10 years ago. He said they put it back and that's okay.

"All these things represent who I am," Foley said. "Yeah, I walk a little slower, and I stumble when I talk, and I am not a handsome man, but I am the hardcore legend." He said the hardcore legend is coming home at Genesis. Foley said he knew Jarrett had his hands full and Rhino will be challenging for the TNA Title, so he will draw strength from Devon and Styles. He referred to Styles as the gutsiest performer of this generation.

"I may not be as good as I once was, but for one night I will be as good as I ever was," Foley said. Jarrett stood up and hugged Foley. "Damn, I can't wait until this Sunday," Don West said.

TNA Wrestling's "Genesis" pay-per-view show could mark a new beginning for "Brother" Devon Hughes.

Paired with Mick Foley and A.J. Styles against Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner and Booker T in Sunday night's main event, Hughes won't be teaming with longtime partner Brother Ray (real name Mark "Bubba Ray" LoMonaco). That separation may be a harbinger of things to come.

Not that there's personal trouble between Brother Devon and Brother Ray in Dudleyville (the mythical New York City borough where the duo was long billed as originating). Performing as Team 3D, Hughes and LoMonaco captured their 22nd major tag-team title last weekend by winning a New Japan Pro Wrestling tournament in Tokyo.

But Hughes is admittedly uncertain how frequently LoMonaco will be wrestling in the future. Hughes said LoMonaco has taken an indefinite break from TNA matches after recently suffering a story-line injury.

Hughes said LoMonaco, 37, is feeling the effects of a rough-and-tumble grappling style dating to their days as the Dudley Boyz in Extreme Championship Wrestling from 1996 to 1999. Those injuries never healed properly as the Dudleys spent the next six years performing almost nonstop in World Wrestling Entertainment.

"Bodywise, he's pretty messed up," Hughes said Tuesday during a telephone interview. "I saw this coming two or three years ago. There were times where even getting on a plane was hard for him.

"Back in the Hulk Hogan days (in the 1980s), those guys knew how to last a lot longer. For our generation, the (aging) process is sped up because of everything more we do in the ring. You can't do all that flying and flipping and not pay a price."

Uncertain if or when Brother Ray will resume a full-time schedule, Hughes said he is approaching LoMonaco's hiatus as a chance to prove he can excel as a singles performer. The heavily muscled Hughes recently began slimming down while upping his cardiovascular training to better prepare for the demands of solo action.

"Bubba and I are definitely two different people," Hughes said. "That's how we balance each other out. What he lacks in wrestling ability, I pick up. What I lack in talking, he picks up. But I still think when I'm given the mike, I've always held my own."

Hughes is drawing motivation from a failed 2002 singles run when WWE split the Dudleys. While LoMonaco had a modicum of success as a hard-core performer, Hughes flopped when re-cast as the villainous Reverend Devon. The only memorable aspect of the gimmick was Hughes' helping to launch the WWE career of Dave "Deacon" Bautista as his protege. Reunited by year's end, the Dudleys continued working as a WWE tag team until leaving in 2005 for TNA.

Hughes believes he wasn't given enough time to prove he could excel as Reverend Devon. Hughes said WWE owner Vince McMahon yanked the creative freedom he was originally given and the promotion 's scriptwriters soured on the character.

"If I fail as a singles wrestler now, I fail," said Hughes, who wrestled solo on the Northeastern independent circuit before becoming a Dudley. "But at least I'll go out knowing I did my best."

In an industry where tag teams rarely last more than a few years, Hughes and LoMonaco have stood together through thick and thin. The duo spurned a chance to rejoin WWE last fall by signing three-year contracts with TNA, which Hughes praises for its family atmosphere, young talent base and more modest touring schedule.

Team 3D also has done an A-plus job preparing for life after wrestling. A recently engaged father of four, Hughes owns his own smoothie store (3D Powerblendz) in Melbourne, Fla. LoMonaco and his family run an Orlando-area spa and salon. Plus Hughes and LoMonaco are business partners in an Orlando-area wrestling school (Team 3D Academy).

As it stands now, Team 3D will be remembered as one of the industry's greatest tandems. Hughes, though, said he isn't close to writing the finale on his grappling career.

"If Bubba decided to retire before me, he's going to be the only one retiring," said Hughes, 36. "I'm going to still be going strong."

Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett and Sting vs. Rhino are the other top matches at "Genesis," which emanates from Charlotte, N.C. For more information, visit www.tnawrestling.com.

NEW ORLEANS – ECW Champion Matt Hardy was put to the test tonight against the World's Strongest Man Mark Henry. But next week, the champion must face the undefeated Jack Swagger for the ECW Championship.

ECW Champion Matt Hardy def. Mark Henry (Non-title match)
Mark Henry came into the match with revenge on his mind after failing to get a win over the ECW Champion last week, due to interference from Jack Swagger. The intense rivalry between Hardy and the World's Strongest Man showed no signs of slowing in 2009. In the end, Hardy got the better of Henry once again, defeating the nearly 400-pounder with a Twist of Fate.

Jack Swagger def. Finlay
In a grueling contest, No. 1 contender Jack Swagger took on the veteran Finlay, in their first one-on-one encounter ever. Using his power, agility and aggressiveness, the 256-pound Swagger was able to wear Finlay down. In the end, the young Superstar made a bold statement by finishing off the Belfast Brawler with a gutwrench powerbomb to pick up the pinfall.

ECW Champion Matt Hardy vs. Jack Swagger announced
Shortly after Swagger's win over Finlay, he reminded ECW General Manager Theodore Long of his series of impressive wins over recent weeks. After Swagger rattled off his accomplishments, Long announced the youngster would finally have his big opportunity. Next week, it will be Jack Swagger vs. ECW Champion Matt Hardy for the ECW Title. The cocky Swagger then predicted that he would be the new champion, as well as the new face of the ECW franchise.

Katie Lea Burchill def. Alicia Fox
In her first-ever singles match in WWE, Alicia took on Katie Lea, who made her first in-ring appearance on ECW. Fox had DJ Gabriel in her corner, while Burchill had her brother, Paul, in her corner for support. Both Divas looked sharp, and it could have been anyone's night to claim a victory. However, in the end, it was Katie Lea who was able to overpower Fox, and slam her lower back into a waiting knee to pick up the pinfall.

Last week in her blog on WWE Universe, Katie Lea said one of her goals for 2009 was to "beat up Little Miss Saturday Night Fever." Although Katie Lea succeeded on this night, Fox will surely be looking for an opportunity to display her ring prowess again.

Boogeyman def. local competitor
In a macabre mauling, Boogeyman crushed a local athlete who probably wished he never set foot in the ring against the ghoulish Superstar. After the match, the hapless challenger received Boogeyman's signature humiliating finisher – a slimy mouthful of worms.

NEW ORLEANS – Storming into Louisiana, the first Raw of 2009 brought with it all the explosive action that the WWE Universe has come to expect. What our fans didn't see coming however, was the shocking announcement that after more than six months away, Mr. McMahon himself will be returning to Raw in just two short weeks. This revelation came just prior to the night's main event, which saw World Heavyweight Champion John Cena & Shawn Michaels team up to defeat Randy Orton & Chris Jericho.

World Heavyweight Champion John Cena & Shawn Michaels def. Randy Orton & Chris Jericho; John Cena to face Shawn Michaels the following week
As his employer, JBL looked on silently, Shawn Michaels teamed up with the self-proclaimed "wrestling god's" Royal Rumble opponent, World Heavyweight Champion John Cena, to take on the vicious team of Randy Orton & Chris Jericho. Earlier in the night, HBK had been encouraged by his boss to turn on The Champ, in an attempt to increase JBL's chances of winning the World Heavyweight Title at Royal Rumble. Throughout the match, Shawn Michaels appeared conflicted, but in the end, it was his Sweet Chin Music that dropped both his opponents, allowing HBK to pin Jericho for the win.

As Cena & Michaels celebrated in the ring, HBK's employer revealed in the locker room area that the two Superstars would be facing one another on the next Raw, with JBL installed in Shawn Michaels' corner.

Mr. McMahon to return to Raw in two weeks; Women's Champion Beth Phoenix's No. 1 fan banned from Raw
One of the biggest announcements of the night came courtesy of the nefarious Chris Jericho. Accosting Stephanie McMahon in her office, Jericho revealed that not only did he petition the Executive Vice President protesting the prior week's Fatal Four Way Match, but he also sent it to the Chairman, Mr. McMahon. Stephanie was shocked to learn that not only did her father's office respond to Jericho, but they announced his return to Raw in just two short weeks. This huge revelation came after Women's Champion Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella had been speaking with the Executive Vice President about Rosa Mendes, the crazed fan that attacked Melina earlier in the night. Stephanie told "Glamarella" that Mendes was as of that moment banned from Raw.

Cody Rhodes & Sim Snuka def. Cryme Tyme; Snuka taken out of the running for Randy Orton's group
Phase two of gaining membership in Randy Orton's new group consisted of Cody Rhodes & Sim Snuka facing Cryme Tyme in a tag team match. The two second-generation Superstars attempted to show exactly why they should be chosen, with Rhodes scoring the pinfall victory for the team. Though technically Snuka won the match as well, it was not a good enough showing for Orton, who promptly removed him from the running, declaring him "the weak link."

Kelly Kelly def. Jillian; Kane to face Randy Orton the following week
Continuing to display her rapid in-ring improvement, Kelly Kelly took out Jillian in singles competition. Raw's tone-deaf songstress was unable to take her loss in stride, however, and attacked the blond bombshell after the match, leaving Kelly in a vulnerable position when the imposing Kane entered the ring. The Big Red Monster was angry about Kelly attempting to protect her one-time lover, Randy Orton, and announced that he would be facing the Legend Killer on the next Raw.

World Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison def. Rey Mysterio & Kofi Kingston; Mysterio and Kingston named as Royal Rumble participants
The current World Tag Team Champions made an appearance on Raw to compete against Rey Mysterio & Kofi Kingston in a non-title match. The Miz & John Morrison talked glowingly of their many accomplishments before meeting their quick-moving, athletic opponents in the ring. Mysterio & Kingston's innovative offense wasn't enough to defeat the self-proclaimed greatest tag team of the 21st century however, as Morrison pinned the Master of the 619 for the win.

Following the match, things got even worse for Mysterio, as Mike Knox stormed out and brutalized the Ultimate Underdog, gaining some measure of revenge for his first-ever defeat on Raw at the hands of Mysterio the week prior in a 10-Man Tag Team Match. Though they were defeated on Raw, both Mysterio and Kingston will have the opportunity of a lifetime as they compete in the Royal Rumble Match as announced during their bout on Raw.

JBL encouraged Shawn Michaels to turn on World Heavyweight Champion John Cena; Randy Orton set another challenge for Cody Rhodes and Sim Snuka
The earlier news of a match between World Heavyweight Champion John Cena & Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton & Chris Jericho immediately set JBL's mind spinning. In the locker room area, the Longhorn Loudmouth cornered his employee Shawn Michaels, urging him to turn on his tag team partner and possibly even render The Champ unable to defend his title at Royal Rumble.

Elsewhere, Randy Orton addressed the potential members of his new group, Cody Rhodes and Sim Snuka, declaring that if they wanted to join, they would have to win their match later in the night. Orton was then approached by Manu, who was ousted from the running the week before. The Samoan Superstar requested another chance to prove himself, but was denied by the third-generation Superstar Orton.

CM Punk def. Intercontinental Champion William Regal by disqualification; Regal retains the Intercontinental Title
Reaping the rewards of winning the heavily contested Intercontinental Title Tournament, CM Punk met William Regal in the squared circle with the Intercontinental Title on the line. As always, Regal was accompanied to the ring by his fellow Brit, Layla. Victory appeared to be within Punk's grasp as he prepared to hit the Intercontinental Champion with the Go To Sleep, but Regal reached out and grabbed the referee, disqualifying himself.

Unfortunately for the Straightedge Superstar, however, a title may not change hands on a disqualification. But Punk's luck quickly turned around, as Stephanie McMahon emerged and immediately set a future rematch, where if Regal is again disqualified, he will lose the Intercontinental Title.

Melina & Goldust def. Women's Champion Beth Phoenix & Santino Marella
Just weeks before Melina will face off against Women's Champion Beth Phoenix at Royal Rumble, the paparazzi-hounded Diva partnered with the bizarre Goldust to face the team of Glamarella in an Intergender Tag Team Match. Perhaps giving The Glamazon of taste of what she can expect at Royal Rumble, Melina pinned Phoenix for the win. Following the match, for the second week in a row Melina was attacked by the Women's Champion's crazed No. 1 fan, who was subsequently restrained by security and escorted out of the arena.

Randy Orton and Chris Jericho entered in the Royal Rumble Match, but not Shawn Michaels; World Heavyweight Champion John Cena & HBK to face Orton & Jericho later in the night
Randy Orton and Chris Jericho kicked off Monday Night Raw by contesting JBL's No. 1 contendership to the World Heavyweight Championship. Though Stephanie McMahon denied their request to face one another for the honor, she did officially enter both of the Superstars in the Royal Rumble Match. The Executive Vice President neglected to enter Shawn Michaels, however, at the request of his employer, JBL, who wanted HBK to focus on assisting him in his Royal Rumble title match. McMahon then set the night's main event as a tag team bout pitting the team of Orton & Jericho against Shawn Michaels & World Heavyweight Champion John Cena, the Superstar HBK's boss JBL will face at Royal Rumble.

Report Reveals 43% Of TNA Roster On Drugs Last Year

Posted by Donny | Monday, January 05, 2009

On Friday, Henry Waxman of the US House of Representatives from California's 30th district issued a report on the steroid problem in professional wrestling. In Waxman's report, it was revealed that fifteen of the sixty TNA wrestlers who were tested for drugs in January 2008 tested positive for steroids. Additionally, eleven other TNA wrestlers tested positive for various other drugs, so 43% of TNA roster were on drugs this time last year. Six wrestlers tested positive for marijuana, two wrestlers tested positive for benzodiazepines (such as xanax and valium), one wrestler tested positive for amphetamines, one wrestler tested positive for opiates and one wrestler tested positive for propoxyphene.

It should be noted that the TNA performers were warned in advance that they would be tested, and twenty-six still failed anyway. However, they were told that they would not be punished for this baseline round of testing.

Saying 43% of the TNA roster were on drugs this time last year is actually being kind. The drug testing was not just limited to the males as the females were tested as well. This time last year, there were fifteen active female performers on the roster including Angelina Love, Awesome Kong, Christy Hemme, Crystal Louthan, Gail Kim, Jackie Moore, Karen Angle, Payton Banks, ODB, Raisha Saeed, Roxxi Laveaux, Salinas, SoCal Val, Traci Brooks and Velvet Sky. Presumably, Sharmell was not tested as she was written out of television at the first TV broadcast of the year, which was a pay-per-view event, and the drug testing occurred prior to an iMPACT! taping later that month.

We have never heard of a female wrestling performer failing and/or getting suspended for drugs, so presumably all of the TNA Knockouts passed their respective drug tests. If you deduct the fifteen women from the sixty tested, that leaves forty-five male wrestlers. That would mean 33% of the male TNA performers were on steroids this time last year, with 58% of the male TNA roster being on any kind of drug.

Waxman concluded his report on TNA by saying "there are significant weaknesses in the TNA testing program".

Waxman issued a summary of TNA's drug testing results from January 2008.
