COMPLETE PAY-PER-VIEW RESULTS:
- In the most insane and daredevil Steel Asylum match thus far in TNA history, Daniels came out the winner to earn a shot at the X Division Championship. The match was highlighted by the debut of "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero (who kept Suicide from winning the bout), as well as Daniels hanging upside down from the top of the cage! After Dinero took out Suicide, Daniels recovered and escaped to win it.

- Jethro Holliday took on Abyss in an attempt to claim Dr. Stevie's 50,000 bounty on Abyss. Dr. Stevie attempted to interfere on Holliday's behalf, but it only backfired. In the end, Dr. Stevie handed brass knuckles to Holliday, but Abyss instead hit his Black Hole Slam finisher to get the win. After the match, Dr. Stevie was irate with Holliday and got in his face. In turn, Holliday knocked out Dr. Stevie!

- Hernandez gained a quick win over Big Rob of The British Invasion, using a shoulder block at the start of the match to surprise the UK muscleman! When Hernandez came out, he got on the microphone and told all of the British Invasion that they could hand him the briefcase, or he would take it by force. The Invasion attacked, but Hernandez fought them off. After getting the pin on Big Rob, Hernandez grabbed his World Title shot briefcase and exited the ring, while Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams held back an irate Big Rob!

- With World Elite leader Eric Young on commentary, The British Invasion defeated Beer Money, Inc. to retain the New Japan IWGP Tag Team Title. During the bout, Eric Young tossed one of the IWGP titles into the ring, which caught the attention of Robert Roode. Roode went after Young, but Eric spit on him. As the referee was removing the title from the ring, the Invasion hit Roode with a low blow and rolled him up for the pin!

- ODB and Cody Deaner got the win over Angelina Love and Velvet Sky to become the new Knockout Women's Champion! Madison Rayne accidentally cost Angelina the match (and the gold) when she went to hairspray Deaner but blinded her Beautiful People leader instead. Deaner scored the pin and ODB was awarded the title, but Deaner took it and left the ring while ODB gave chase! After the bout, The Beautiful People argued in the ring, with Love leaving in a fit of rage!

- Samoa Joe (with Taz) defeated Homicide to become the NEW TNA X Division Champion! Homicide hit Joe with everything he had, but in the end Joe forced Homicide to tap out to the rear naked chokehold! Samoa Joe has certainly re-focused on his submission skills, and now he once again dominates the TNA X Division as the reigning champion!

- In an all-out brawl for the TNA World Tag Team Title, Scott Steiner and Booker T retained the gold against Team 3D. The conclusion of the match was controversial, with two TNA referees (Earl Hebner and Slick Johnson) both registering pins for each team. After Hebner and Johnson reviewed the videotape, it was announced that Booker T and Scott Steiner were still the tag team champions, which the crowd didn't agree with!

- In a bloody and chaotic battle, Kevin Nash defeated Mick Foley to win the TNA Legends Championship! After a brawl between Nash and Foley, Mick brought a barbed wire bat into play, which brought out Traci Brooks to stop him. As Foley dealt with Brooks, Nash took his opportunity to deliver a big boot to Foley to get the win. After the bout, Abyss came out to save Foley from further damage by the new champ.

- In the main event for the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Kurt Angle successfully retained the gold by beating Sting and Matt Morgan. Late in the bout, Sting had it won, but there was no referee. Morgan took his opportunity to capitalize - hitting his "Carbon Footprint" on Sting. However, Kurt Angle smashed Morgan with a steel chair, and covered him to get the pin and the win. Once again, Kurt Angle outsmarted Sting and Morgan to remain World Champion.

Former WWE Diva Kristal Marshall (Bobby Lashley's girlfriend) wrote on her Twitter account on Tuesday that she's going to "make a debut soon".

Earlier, she also wrote: "Just got some super duper news today! Let's just say it's a page turner!"

Marshall appears to have wrestling on her mind as we reported earlier that Vince McMahon has been incredibly frustrated as of late with WWE's inability to create new Superstars. Marshall apparently read the report as she wrote the following on her Twitter account: "Sorry Vince stars are born not created...."

TNA World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle has posted bail and has been released from jail following his arraignment this afternoon. From all accounts he will be allowed to travel to Orlando, Florida for tomorrow night's TNA Hard Justice pay-per-view.

Previously, according to a criminal report filed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Kurt Angle has been arrested and was currently in the Allegheny County Jail. There was an altercation at the home of Kurt Angle involving Angle and his girlfriend Trenesha Biggers, also known as TNA's Rhaka Khan. Biggers went to police and filed a protection from abuse order against Angle, and police came and removed Angle from the home this morning.

At around 8 AM, Biggers called police again, stating that Angle was stalking her. She had gone to a Starbucks to use the internet, and told police that Angle had her phone and had been circling the parking lot. She claimed Angle was deleting photos from the phone, which were described as "pictures of abuse".

Angle was questioned by police, under suspicion of driving under the influence, and when they searched the vehicle, they found used syringes and two vials of human growth hormone. Angle claimed that he had a prescription for the medication, and could provide that to police.

Angle is currently awaiting arraignment on the following charges:
- Driving while operating privileges suspended
- Prohibited acts
- Possession
- Harassment

Angle is scheduled to defend his TNA World Heavyweight Title tomorrow night at the Hard Justice pay-per-view in Orlando.

TNA Wins UK Ratings War With WWE

Posted by Donny | Thursday, August 13, 2009

The WWE/TNA ratings battle in the UK is much closer than in the US, with TNA often coming out on top. They beat Raw and Smackdown in the last week of July.

July 27 WWE Raw drew 57,000
July 30 TNA iMPACT! drew 70,000
July 31 WWE SmackDown drew 45,000

It must be noted that Raw does air in the early hours of the morning.

In WWE announcer Jim Ross' latest blog, the wrestling veteran puts Jeff Hardy over as the hottest wrestler in the company.

"If you are wondering who the hottest WWE Superstar presently is in WWE, it's Jeff Hardy. As my late, domino playing friend, Ernie Ladd would say, case closed," wrote Ross.

While many will undoubtedly connect Ross' comments to reports that WWE is working hard to keep Hardy beyond his expected exit date of WWE SummerSlam, his words do speak to the consensus within the company. Several months ago, a Wrestling Observer report confirmed that WWE internally views Hardy as the most popular wrestler.

Ross was also complimentary of the Divas, putting over Layla's improvement, Melina's consistently solid performances and Gail Kim's potential to be "Stratus-like".
