For the first time ever, your belove Captain has brought you a double shot of the rewind!!! In one article!!! It's color coded to kill your confusion...in other words, TNA is Orange, and RAW is Red. Get it? Got it? Good! Let's get to it!!!

Tonight’s iMPACT goes live for the first time in over two months on Monday night!!! The crowd is crazy! The announcers are crazy!!! And TNA President Dixie Carter is in awe of what she sees above her. With that, her knight makes his way to the ring with his bouncer as Hulk Hogan and Abyss make their way to the ring!!

RAW goes live with the arrival of the Phenom, The Deadman…The Undertaker. The Deadman makes his way into the ring and surveys the crowd in Portland, Oregon. Undertaker starts off by pointing all his attention to his opponent at WrestleMania, Shawn Michaels. But it doesn’t take long for Shawn to come out and stop the Phenom in his tracks.

Shawn makes it clear that he had no choice but to cost Taker the gold in the Elimination Chamber. But then, he points the attention to Undertaker’s actions last week…and calls it fear!! The Deadman issues a stern warning to Shawn to choose his next words carefully. The duo continues their war of words with The Undertaker promising to open the Gates of Hell and unleash hell so severe to ensure that at WrestleMania, Shawn’s career is over.

But Shawn seems undaunted by Taker’s comments as he makes it clear that the only dark cloud that will be around will be Shawn ending his undefeated streak. With that, Shawn walks away but not before staring back at the man he promises to defeat at WrestleMania.

As Hogan and Abyss soak in the surrealness of the night, Hogan makes it clear that he was going to take TNA to sacred ground. But thanks to Ric Flair, Hogan is out for one thing and one thing only: TNA’s Reckoning Day. And with that, he says that it is time to put up or shut up!

Hulk Hogan & Abyss vs. Ric Flair and TNA Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles

Hogan takes the fight to Flair, but it doesn’t take long for Flair’s protégé to save his partner. But all of a sudden, the lights go out and when they come back on, Sting is standing in the middle of the ring with his trademark bat. But all of a sudden, Sting attacks both Hogan and Abyss. He then smiles at the carnage he has started.

AJ Styles grabs a chair, and after getting nailed with a bat, Styles drops Abyss. Sting then leaves the ring and lets Flair and Styles finish the job. As Brooke Hogan looks on, security sends Flair and Styles packing.

Winner: No Contest

Back on iMPACT, Sting is heading out when he is approached by Dixie Carter telling him that he owes her. But Sting shoves her against a wall and makes it clear that he owes her nothing before walking away from her. JB is talking to Flair and Styles, who are smiling about the carnage they caused. Flair says that Sting has finally come to his senses. They then promise that Abyss and Hogan will leave on a stretcher. Also, Abyss is asking simply, “WHY STING WHY?!”

Gail Kim, Eve Torres & Kelly Kelly vs. Alicia Fox, Maryse and Katie Lea Burchill

On RAW, the Divas are going at it like fiery cats!! Maryse comes in to pick up the pieces left by Fox. After taking the cheap shot at Kelly Kelly, Maryse gets caught, and Eve takes advantage. Eve delivers a trifecta of dropkicks before getting caught with a thumb to the eye. Eve then delivers the Mile High Salute before getting ambushed by Katie and Alicia. But after Kelly and Kim take them out, Eve applies a Bronco Bar to force the Divas Champion to tap out and pick up the win for her team.

Winners: Gail Kim, Eve Torres & Kelly Kelly

Back on iMPACT, Brooke is freaking out about what has happened to her father. In the ring, Kazarian is out to talk about the last two years of his life. He then makes it clear that here tonight, that doubt is gone! He came back for one reason: To reignite the flame known as The X-Division. And he says that if TNA is going to war, then let the X-Division lead them into battle.

But he is quickly interrupted by Christopher Daniels, who says that he should be the one that leads the X-Division into battle. He then claims that he and he alone will carry the X-Division to new heights. With that, the X-Division champion Doug Williams comes down to make it clear that the X-Division is alive and well…because he is X-Division Champion. Kaz chimes in and says that he is the champion…right now. He then asks where Williams was when they were putting the X-Division on the map.

As all three men prepare to slug it out, Eric Bischoff comes down and makes it known that it was because of the X-Division that made him come with Hogan to TNA. He then makes a match tonight: Kaz will face Daniels and Williams with the X-Division Championship on the line.

X-Division Championship

Daniels vs. Kazarian vs. X-Division Champion Doug Williams

All three men show why the X-Division is the adrenaline rush of TNA. Kaz almost gets the pin on both men in the beginning of the match. As Daniels and Williams battle outside, Kazarian flies over the top on them to raise the bar another notch. Daniels gets complete control of the match following a Death Valley Driver.

But Williams returns into the match to only get involved in a slugfest on the top rope. Both men get dropped again by Kazarian as all three men lay flat on the ground. All three get up at the same time with Kaz getting the advantage with a diving elbow followed by the huge leg drop. As Daniels goes for the Fallen Angel, Williams returns to go for the Chaos Theory. But Kaz nails the big boot and swinging neckbreaker, only to get a two count. Williams is eliminated as Daniels goes for the BME, but gets caught by Williams with the Chaos Theory to pick up the win and retain the X-Division Championship.

After the bell, Shannon Moore sprints down to send a message to Williams that the X-Division just got flown a little higher. With that, Bischoff comes down to inform Williams that he will face Moore at Destination X for the X-Division Championship.

Winner and Still Champion: Doug Williams

In the back, Dixie Carter informs the world that due to his actions earlier tonight, Sting will be in a match tonight. We also find out that the Hogan & Abyss-Styles & Flair match will happen tonight…much to the dismay of Brooke Hogan.

Following a video package about the history of Batista and John Cena, Cena comes out and admits that he can’t beat Batista. The only thing he can do is go out and beat him. He then says that he counts on Batista to get involved in his match against Vince tonight. We also find out the final two competitors for the Money in the Bank Qualifying Match: William Regal & Evan Bourne!

Back on iMPACT, it’s a free for all to determine the new TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships.

TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships

Sarita & Taylor vs. The Beautiful People vs. Tara & Angelina Love

All six women are slugging it out as Sarita and Taylor come in and get dropped by Lacey Von Erich. But Daffney drops Tara with the Knockouts title allowing Velvet Sky to pick up the win and get the vacated Knockouts Tag Team Championships!

Winners & New Knockouts Tag Champions: The Beautiful People

In the back, The Pope is all smiles as he talks about his opponent tonight, Desmond Wolfe when Wolfe comes in and attacks him, further injuring the ankle. Also, Sting is making his way down to the ring.

Handicap Match

Randy Orton vs. Legacy

Rhodes starts the physicality in the corner, but Orton bounces back with a high elbow that sends Rhodes to his corner. DiBiase comes in and beats Orton into a mild submission before getting dropped with a clothesline. Both men are flabbergasted at being dominated by their mentor. Rhodes comes in to try to get control back to Legacy, but Orton just picks up where he left off by beating Rhodes into a corner.

But it takes a vision impairment that allows the duo to finally mount some offense on their mentor. DiBiase continues to beat down Orton, but in the end, it is Legacy that gets the final word as they defeat their mentor. But after nailing Dream Street and Cross Rhodes, they obviously show no remorse for their actions.

Winners: Legacy

“The Icon” Sting vs. ROB VAN DAM

RVD starts off with a quick kick off the top rope followed by Rolling Thunder to get the quick victory in his arrival to TNA. But after the bell, Sting starts decimating Van Dam. He then drops him with baseball bat before walking away from the carnage. But Sting decides to return to finish the job as he continues the punishment. As Sting walks away, he manages to take out a set of referees as well. He then returns to the ring to finish the job until Hogan’s music hits and the Immortal one makes his way down to confront him.

As security and Bubba the Love Sponge try to hold him back, both men and the fans want the war between Hogan and Sting to happen. As Hogan is held back, Sting continues to punish Van Dam. But Hogan is heading to the ring regardless despite being held back by security. Sting gets a cheap shot in and nails Hogan in the midsection. As security helps Hogan out of the arena, Mike Tenay is venting about his frustrations over Sting’s actions tonight.

Winner: Rob Van Dam

While this is going on, Kevin Nash and Eric Young head to the ring to talk about the actions of Hall and Waltman. Nash comes out to inform the duo that for one night only, they will be allowed in the iMPACT Zone for a match with Nash and Young at Destination X. They then call out the duo, who we all know is somewhere in the building. After much waiting, Waltman and Hall finally make their way into the ring as security sprints into the ring. The boys agree to the match…only if they get contracts out of it. Bischoff chimes in and says that if they beat Nash and Young, they’ll get their big fat contracts. If they lose, they are gone…for good! With that, it’s Eric Young locking horns with Six-Pac.

Six-Pac vs. Eric Young

The two smaller guys lock up with Young getting all his aggression out on Pac. Pac aims to go in for the kill with the Bronco Buster before the party gets broken up.

Winner: Who cares? Still a good party!!!

Intermission: Triple H Confront Sheamus!

The Game wastes no time heading down to the ring, but still takes a moment to bask in the glow of the fans in Portland. He starts out by saying that he respects Sheamus for what he did last week. But before he could continue, the Celtic Warrior makes his way down to confront The King of Kings. Triple H tries to get through to Sheamus that he did the exact same thing when he started. And after getting crushed, he had to claw his way back to becoming the guy.

But Sheamus comes out to challenge The Game to a match at WrestleMania. With that, the two men slug it out before Triple H tosses him to the outside. The two continue battling on the outside with Triple H sending Sheamus over the barricade. As Sheamus tries to walk away, Triple H jumps him. Back in the ring, Triple H drops him with a Double A Spinebuster. With that, Sheamus limps off to fight another day. But it is official: At WrestleMania, it will be The Celtic Warrior Sheamus facing The King of Kings Triple H!!!

In the back, Criss Angel is performing a trick for Santino involving a knife. After smashing the cups one by one (which one has a knife under it BTW), Angel reveals that the knife is under the final cup.

Intermission: Kurt Angle confronts Mr. Anderson….Anderson!

Meanwhile on iMPACT, a slew of soldiers grace the walkway of the iMPACT Zone. With that, Kurt Angle comes down and enters the ring to demand the medal stolen from him by Mr. Anderson. After giving the best props in the world to the best men and women in the world: The soldiers who allow guys like me to do what I do everyday. Angle then announces that he will fight Anderson at Destination X. With that, Anderson pops on the screen and starts blasting the soldiers. But it doesn’t take long for Angle to find him and drop him. But as Anderson looks to leave, the soldiers block his escape, and Angle begins taking him down.

Angle tosses him to the outside on both sides, and the soldiers get their shots in before tossing him back into the ring. After the beatdowns from the soldiers, Angle drops him with the Soldier Slam™. Angle then grabs the American Flag, spits on Anderson and waves Ol’ Glory in the air.

Money in the Bank Qualifying Match

Evan Bourne vs. William Regal

With Christian watching on from the broadcast table, Bourne dodges the Skull Crusher/Knee Trembler and nails a knee of his own before flying high and dropping Airbourne on Regal to pick up the win and qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Yeah, the match was that quick. Sorry that you blinked and missed it. That’s why Bleacher Brothers™ is your source for all the wrestling anarchy!!

Winner: Evan Bourne

In the back, Bubba the Love Sponge is trying to talk Hulk into not fighting tonight. But they are quickly interrupted by Earl Hebner. Hebner is begging for a second chance. Hogan tells Hebner that if it gets out of control, he has to stop this fight. With that, Matt and Tazz deliver the rundown for Destination X. Jeff Jarrett is heading to the ring to face Beer Money when he decides to fight James Storm right now. Robert Roode jumps out and ambushes Jarrett.

Beer Money vs. Jeff Jarrett

BMI drags Jarrett into the ring, and the handicap match is officially on. The duo has complete control until Jarrett starts showing signs of life until Roode drops him with a spinebuster. Following a double team, Beer Money drops him with a set of slugs followed by the Eye of the Storm.

But Jarrett ducks a beer bath and goes on the offense as Roode gets sent packing. Both men are tossed outside, and Jarrett is quick in tow with a double noggin’ knocker. Storm is sent into the steel before Jarrett tries to get back inside. But on the outside, Foley hands Jarrett the barbed wire bat. As Foley chases Slick Johnson, Beer Money nails the DWI to pick up the victory.

Winners: Beer Money

In the back, Abyss and Hogan are working on their gameplan as a sobbing Brooke comes in and asks her father simply, “Are you sure you should be doing this?” After saying yes, he promises that this will be the last time he steps in the ring. After a final embrace, Hogan heads to the ring for his final match.

RAW Main Event

John Cena vs. Vince McMahon

Before the bell, Vince makes sure that Bret has his attention as he tells Cena that what happens in this match will be no illusion, and it will be a Handicap Gauntlet Match.

First Entrant: Vladimir Kozlov: Kozlov delivers a set of headbutts that drops him quickly. Following a spinebuster, Kozlov tags in McMahon. McMahon thinks it’s an easy pinfall, but not the case. With that, the second entrant comes in.

Second Entrant: Drew McIntyre: McIntyre drops him with the Future Shock, but again McMahon is unable to get the win. With that, contestant #3 comes in to take his turn.

Third Entrant: Jack Swagger: Swagger delivers the splash before exiting the ring. But again, McMahon comes up short of his goal to defeat Cena. He then calls in his next monster.

Fourth Entrant: Mark Henry: Henry is skeptical to face Cena, but McMahon threatens him into the World’s Strongest Slam. McMahon again tries to get the victory, but again, Cena kicks out! A fuming McMahon runs over to grab the ring bell and a mic. After making it a No-DQ match, McMahon takes aim at Cena. But Henry talks him out of it…and talks him into doing it. Henry drops the bell but gets dropped by Batista. Kingston sprints down and takes the fight to Batista. Kingston tries to fight hard, but gets dropped with a modified Batista Bomb.

Cena shakes off the cobwebs and takes the fight to Batista. As he aims for the Attitude Adjustment, Batista drops him with a Spear. After delivering the Batista Bomb, McMahon finally picks up the pinfall victory over the man who will face Batista for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.

After the bell, Batista stands over his fallen prey and celebrates the carnage he caused as RAW goes off the air.

Winner: Vincent “I’m still a douchebag and I lost tonight’s War” McMahon

TNA Featured Contest

TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles & Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan & Abyss

Hogan shows how tough he truly is as he absorbs the chops and punches of Flair. After Flair is sent to the outside, Hogan taunts Styles and then chases Flair. Now Flair joins the blood bank as Hogan bites his head before delivering more punches. Styles and Flair try to go in for the kill, but Hogan and Abyss begin to Hulk up and drop both men. Following the big boots, Abyss nails the Black Hole Slam on the TNA World Champion to get the pin and the victory over Flair and Styles.

After the bell, Desmond Wolfe drops both men with a chair. Pope comes down to help his fallen teammates, but he gets chop blocked in the knee. But all of a sudden, the lights dim once more and Jeff Hardy sprints down to the ring to join in the party. Hardy drops Wolfe with the Hardy Slam and delivers the Twist of Fate on AJ Styles followed by the Swanton Bomb as the show fades to black!!!

Winners: Hulk Hogan and Abyss

Right now it is believed that the Bears and Seahawks are the front runners for Julius Peppers.

The Chargers plan on keeping Sproles, but with the right offer, will they move him?

Will the Giants open their wallets to compete with other NFC teams and improve their D that disappeared in the second half of last season?

RAW hits the airwaves in Oklahoma City with the arrival of Shawn Michaels. If you missed last week, HBK finally got his wish for one more match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26. Michaels comes out to talk about the peers that have looked away since the match between HBK and The Deadman was made official. He then calls out his peers who have doubted him.

After a brief moment, it is Triple H, Shawn’s DX partner, comes down to have a chat with his DX running mate. The Game makes his way into the ring to confront his former partner. The Game openly admits that he doesn’t think Shawn can beat the Deadman…he knows that he can. He informs Shawn that he is the best that he’s ever been in the ring with. Triple H informs Shawn that they have invoked their rematch clause for the WWE Unified Tag Team Championships…tonight.

After a moment, Shawn is a little hesitant about the match, but after some serious motivation from his DX colleague, Shawn decides that it is time to get the gold back from ShoMiz. With that, the duo heads to the back to get ready for their match for the Tag Titles.

In the back, Cheech and Chong are in the back getting entertained by Bella Twins. As Cheech rolls with the Bellas, Chong gets a “special” present from Hornswoggle.

Following a quick WWE Rewind, Randy Orton heads to the ring for his match with Legacy.

Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase

DiBiase has all the control until Orton drops him with a huge clothesline. In the corner, DiBiase takes the fight to Orton as he staggers Orton with a dropkick before tossing him to the outside. On the outside, Orton starts to fight back by dropping DiBiase with an uppercut.

Back in the ring, DiBiase has complete dominance of his mentor. As Orton looks to bounce back, DiBiase drops him with another clothesline before slugging it out with The Viper. DiBiase wins the exchange before getting dropped with a power slam. Following the Methodical Dissection and a knee drop, Orton prepares to deliver the RKO. But as Orton prepares to unleash, Cody Rhodes comes in to cause the distraction.

After missing the roll up, Orton spears Rhodes but gets double teamed quickly. But Orton starts fighting back, and just as he looks to drop Rhodes again, DiBiase saves his partner’s hide once again. The Viper stands tall tonight…but how will he handle the duo next?

Winner: Randy Orton via DQ

In the back, a crutch carrying Bret Hart makes his way to the arena. Also, Tommy Chong is feeling the effects of the Lucky Charms as he strokes the hair of William Regal…who he thinks is Eve Torres. After much protest, Cheech finally tries the Charms and feels the same effects as his comedic partner.

Money in the Bank Qualifying Match

Jack Swagger vs. Santino

Santino tries to get control early, but Swagger manages to counter a hip toss into the Swagger Bomb to pick up the quick win and take his spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Winner: Jack Swagger

In the back, the WWE Champion Batista makes his way down…but the coward has security flanked behind him as well.

Intermission: The John Cena-Batista Confrontation

As the second hour begins, Cena comes out and addresses his situation with Dave Batista. He makes it clear that Batista’s actions at The Elimination Chamber were strictly business…but after Monday night, it was extremely personal. With that, Batista strolls down to the entranceway amid his security. Despite Cena calling him a 300-pound pansy, Batista still refuses to get in the ring and fight him face to face.

Batista goes on to say that he wants to face Cena at WrestleMania. Despite their similarities, Batista says that they are slightly different. Despite those similarities, Batista says that the company labeled Cena as “The Face of the WWE.” From magazines to movies, Batista feels that the torch was passed from Stone Cold to Cena…when it should have been him. He did what he did last for two reasons: First, he wants to prove that he is much better than him. The second reason is that he can’t stand him. But Cena makes it clear that he will take that title from The Animal at WrestleMania.

Cena continues saying that he gave everything in this business, and it makes him sick that Batista expects everything to be handed to him on a silver platter. Batista makes it clear that he doesn’t care what anyone thinks…he intends on decimating Cena at WrestleMania.

Money in the Bank Qualifying Match

Zack Ryder vs. MVP

Ryder delivers early punishment, but it doesn’t take long for MVP to drop the hammer as he hits the BALLIN’ Elbow Drop followed by The Playmaker to pick up the win and earn a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Winner: MVP

Diva Pajama Pillow Fight

Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim & Eve Torres vs. Maryse, Jillian Hall & Alicia Fox

In a shocking twist, the Divas decide to take out the Divas Champion, but it doesn’t take long for Jillian to grab the spotlight. But thanks to Kelly Kelly, the party gets back in full swing as Eve and Gail dish out a double shot on the Divas Champion. Alicia dishes out some sweet justice on Kim, but Gail gets things done with the Agony of Defeet! But it is Eve that gets the job done with the Mile High Splash to pick up the win in the Pillow Fight.

Winner: Eve Torres

After the bell, Hornswoggle joins Cheech and Chong in a Lucky Charms Rain Party!!! On top of that, Mad Dog Vachon is the newest inductee into this year’s Class of 2010.

Intermission: Bret Hart’s Final Curtain Call???

Just as Bret is about to take the ring, Vince steps in and hogs the spotlight once again. The Mongrel struts into the ring to continue stealing Bret’s Thunder. He then introduces The Hitman himself…on top of saying that he is the man he has the utmost respect for. With that, Bret limps down to the ring to make his final statements to the WWE Universe.

After seeing the accident that shattered Bret’s leg two weeks ago, we return live with Vince continuing his attempt to steal the thunder…by having Bret clear his name of the tragic accident. But Bret instead demands that he gets the hell out of the ring right now. Vince then shows his true colors: He lied about the farewell. He then admits that he screwed Bret once again.

After a tirade, Vince then challenges Bret to a match at WrestleMania. Despite the broken leg that Bret has suffered, Vince continues to goad Hart into a match. But Hart refuses because of the broken leg. But Vince goes below the belt by not only calling him a coward but also kicking the crutch away from Hart, sending him to the ground. This finally prompts Hart to accept the challenge of Vince McMahon! But after the acceptance, McMahon says that he will show his physical prowess when he faces possibly Hart’s biggest fan: John Cena!

So the stage is set: At WrestleMania 26, it will be Vince McMahon going one on one with the man he screwed over in Montreal 13 years ago, Bret “The Hitman” Hart.

Next week on RAW: Criss Angel will be the Guest Host as Randy Orton will face Legacy in a handicap match and Vince McMahon will collide one on one with the man he screwed at Elimination Chamber, John Cena!

WWE Unified Tag Team Championship Match

ShoMiz vs. DX

The Miz starts out by just straight up abusing Shawn Michaels as the match gets underway. Big Show comes in and picks up where Miz left off, but Michaels counters the chokeslam and tag in Triple H. Following a pair of spinebusters, Show drops The Game with a Chokeslam, but Shawn jumps in and delivers Sweet Chin Music to the World’s Largest Hemorrhoid.

Following a pair of tags, Shawn comes in and delivers the punishment, but as he prepares for Sweet Chin Music, The Undertaker pops up on the screen and stares straight into the eyes of his opponent at WrestleMania. Miz takes advantage of the distraction and gets the roll up to pick up the win and help ShoMiz retain the Tag Team Championships.

Winners: ShoMiz

After the bell, Sheamus comes in and attacks The Game. The Celtic Warrior shows his irateness at suffering his first loss at Elimination Chamber. After kicking Triple H in the skull twice, The Celtic Powder stands on the Announcers Table proud of his decimation of the 13-Time World Champion. It’s clear that it will be The Celtic Warrior and The King of Kings will battle at WrestleMania. If not before, it is now. See you next week from Portland, Oregon!

As Abyss marvels over the Hall of Fame Ring of Hulk Hogan, the fireworks fly all over the iMPACT Zone. But the duo of Tenay and Tazz are cut off by the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, AJ Styles and Ric Flair.

After the duo boasts about their ambush attack on The Pope, they make it clear that they are running things in TNA. But Ric Flair is irate because of Hogan’s gesture to Abyss…translation: Hogan gave Abyss his HOF Ring. Flair then calls out The Monster, who wastes no time in heading out to confront Flair. Flair tries to insult and intimidate The Monster, but Abyss fires back and challenges The Nature Boy. AJ takes his turn at trying to bully Abyss, but The Monster isn’t backing down from him either.

All of a sudden, Hulk Hogan comes down to take his shots at Naitch and Styles. Hogan calls Styles weak because he continues to bully people. Flair tries to bully Hogan, but Hulk isn’t budging. Flair then questions Hogan’s decision about the HOF ring, but instead they decide they want to fight. But instead of fighting, the duo decides to book it out of the ring. But they threaten that Hogan’s HOF ring will be on AJ’s finger before the end of the night.

Tag Team Tables Match

Nasty Boys vs. Team 3D

Team 3D comes out firing, but so do the Nasty Boys. All four men fight in and out of the ring. While Jimmy Hart is on the outside trying to talk his boys up, Brother Ray drops an injured Brian Knobs. Following a WASSUP to Jerry Saggs, the fans call for…and get…the tables! But as Team 3D get the table set up, Nasty Boys get the vibe back. But just when things look bad for Team 3D, Jesse Neal sprints to the ring and takes down Jimmy Hart before tossing the helmet into Brother Devon.

Following a clock from the helmet, Team 3D send Saggs through the table to pick up the win.

Winners: Team 3D

ODB vs. Daffney

As Tenay and Tazz talk about Lockdown (in my hometown of St. Louis in April), Daffney tries to get the early advantage, only to get dropped on her ass by ODB. But Daffney takes the fight to ODB when she starts working on the left leg of the former Knockouts Champion. She continues to wrap the knee on the steel post, but is quickly disqualified when she breaks out the weapons.

Winner: ODB via DQ

Following an interview with Super Blueprint, Waltman and Hall are looking for weapons in the parking lot, while Beer Money is heading to the ring.

As Beer Money makes it clear that they want to be off the sidelines and in the ring, Super Mex makes his way down to make it clear that Super Blueprint wants to be the best. He then decides that he is going to ask Hulk Hogan for a title shot…for Beer Money. In the back, Eric Young and Kevin Nash make it clear that they want revenge against Scott Hall and X-Pac Waltman. They both agree that they want to indeed bust them up good tonight!

Intermission: Jarrett-Bischoff Summit

After a montage of the history between Jeff Jarrett and Eric Bischoff, Bischoff heads down to the ring to “handle” the situation with Double J. Bischoff admits that he has made a mistake with Jarrett and wants to correct them…tonight. He calls out The King of The Mountain, who makes his way down to the ring.

Bischoff says that he asked Jarrett to use the barbed wire bat on Abyss last week, and that was a disgusting thing to do. He then demands that Jarrett goes and flips burgers for the TNA fans. He hands him a spatula and a hairnet.

Back on the program, Matt Morgan is questioning Super Mex’s decision to give Beer Money a shot at the TNA Tag Team Championships.

Brian Kendrick vs. Kazarian

Kendrick gets early control with an armlock, but Kaz gets control back with an armbar. Following a springboard leg drop, Kaz delivers a huge airlift dropkick. But Kendrick shows his tenacity with a kick to the back of the head. But as Kendrick goes up top, Kaz mounts even more offense before delivering the Flux Capacitor to pick up the win and earn a shot at Doug Williams and the TNA X-Division Championship.

Winner: Kazarian

TNA Global Championship

TNA Global Champion Rob Terry vs. Mr. Anderson…Anderson

As Anderson does his usual spot, Kurt Angle comes up and nails Mr. Anderson in the back with a steel chair. Following the attack, Angle ushers Terry that he’s all his. With that, Terry picks him up and tosses him over the ring, picks him up again and drops him with the British Bomb to pick up the win and retain the Global Championship. As Terry celebrates, Angle smiles at the finale he caused in this match.

Winner and still Global Champion: Rob Terry

Nash & Young vs. Hall & Waltman

In the back, Young and Nash are ambushed by the duo as Nash is laid out with a steel pipe. The two men celebrate the decimation of Eric and Kevin…but I seriously doubt this war is over.

Winners: Scott Hall and Sean Waltman

In the back, Mick Foley, decked out in Bischoff’s suit, is hearing the avalanche of BS coming from Eric’s mouth.

Desmond Wolfe vs. “The Monster” Abyss

Wolfe uses his mat mechanics to get early control over The Monster. But as Wolfe’s cockiness kicks in, The Monster nails him with a splash. As Wolfe guns for the finale, Abyss drops him with a Black Hole Slam to pick up the win. But after the bell, Flair and Styles look to take the ring off of Abyss. As Wolfe nails him with a chair, Abyss looks to end this.

All three men gang up on The Monster, but Hogan starts strutting his way down to the ring to even the odds. But the numbers game catches up once again as all three gang up on Hogan. After Styles nails Hogan with the belt, they continue to gang up on him. But all of a sudden, Abyss breaks the cuffs and chases the three men out of the ring. He then focuses his attention on a bloodied and partially unconscious Hulk.

Winner: Abyss

Back on the program, Hogan tells Flair that he’s coming out of retirement because he’s in one more match: Styles and Flair will face Abyss and a partner of his choosing…and he chooses…HULK HOGAN!!!! And the anarchy begins once again!!! See you March 8^th!!!

The Memphis Grizzlies are sending No. 2 overall pick Hasheem Thabeet down for a stint in the D-League, the team announced on Thursday.  This prooves once again that just because you are big doesn't mean that you will do well at the next level.  Yes I understand he is still a kid and he has years to proove that he was work that early selection...But didn't we hear this about Darko Mlicic a few years back and now he most likely will be playing overseas next year.

These two aren't the only guys who were drafted early and struggled.  Some other names that come to mind: Shawn Bradley, Michael Olokandi, Eddy Curry, Kwame Brown, Hilton Armstrong, Patrick O'Bryant, and  Desegana Diop to name a few

Although Thabeet was always known more for his defense in college, averaging just 2.5 points and 2.9 rebounds in 10.3 minutes per game for the Grizzlies isn't acceptable for the number 2 pick.

Do you think Grizz fans are wishing their team took Tyreke Evans?  Right now he and Steph Curry are front runners for ROY.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Tuesday that they will release running back Brian Westbrook.

"Brian is one of the greatest Eagles of all time and he is even a better person and leader," said head coach Andy Reid. "In my mind, there has not been a more versatile running back that the NFL has seen. I had a conversation with Brian this morning to let him know. This is by far the most difficult part of this job. We wanted to make this move now in order to maximize Brian's chances of landing with another NFL team."

Westbrook will finish his Eagles career as the franchise's all-time leader in yards from scrimmage (9,785) after being selected in the 3rd round of the 2002 draft from Division I-AA Villanova. He also ranks 2nd in rushing yards (5,995) behind Wilbert Montgomery and 3rd in receptions (426) behind Harold Carmichael and Pete Retzlaff. In addition, Westbrook's 68 total touchdowns ranked 3rd in team history behind Carmichael and Steve Van Buren. He holds the franchise's single season record for most scrimmage yards in a season (a league-leading 2,104 in 2007) and most receptions in a season (90 in 2007). He eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark 20 times (including playoffs) during his career, tying for 2nd most in club history.

"Brian Westbrook is one of the most electric players in the history of this franchise and is certainly also one of the most popular," said Eagles Chairman Jeffrey Lurie. "He was personally one of the my favorite players to watch each and every Sunday and his playmaking abilities, leadership and values will be missed."

Said team president Joe Banner, "We all know how valuable Brian was as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles and he will certainly go down as one of the greatest Eagles of all time. But what really showed me how special a person Brian is, was watching the way he interacted with my children. That said more to me about Brian than anything else he could have done on the playing field. We will miss him both as a person and as a player."

Following highlights from last night’s Elimination Chamber, tonight’s RAW opens up in Indianapolis with the arrival of the new World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho. A smiling Jericho comes out to boast about his victory over The Undertaker last night. As Jericho continues to boast, the music of Edge hits, and as Jericho looks towards the ramp, he becomes the victim of a huge spear from The Rated R Superstar.

As Jericho writhes in pain, Edge makes the huge announcement: “Hey Chris! You’re going to WrestleMania…against ME!!” As Jericho leaves the ring, John Cena’s music hits and The Chain Gang Commander comes down to raise hell of his own. After pacing around the ring and collecting his thoughts for a moment, the man who was screwed by Vince McMahon finally opens up.

Cena decides that he isn’t going to wait until WrestleMania…he wants his rematch right now. With that, Vince McMahon struts out to the ring. He comes out and explains that if Batista helps him get rid of Bret Hart, he can have a championship match of his own. He then goes on to say that Batista will not defend the title until WrestleMania…and that Cena is not the only one who has a rematch clause. He puts Cena in a match, and if Cena wins, he goes to WrestleMania…but if he loses, Sheamus will face Batista for the title at WrestleMania 26.

Following Cena’s acceptance, Vince informs him that he will face none other than…WWE Champion Batista.

WWE Divas Championship Finals

Maryse vs. Gail Kim

Maryse starts out with an elbow to the face, but Kim goes on the assault early and often. Maryse blocks the Rising Sun and kicks her in the face before Kim misses the Cross Body. Maryse takes her time in finishing Kim off, which costs her to a point. Both Divas stagger to their feet before Maryse delivers the French Kiss to pick up the win and regain the Divas Championship.

Winner and New Divas Champion: Maryse

In the back, the Guest Hosts Couple are talking about the Diva Bull Riding Contest, when Jillian and Alicia Fox come in to interrupt the festivities. After getting disrespected, Jewel delivers a slap to Hall that sends her away. Also, Randy Orton is trying to decipher through the garbage known as Legacy. But after hearing the spewing that comes out of Cody’s mouth, Orton lets him know that Legacy has come too far to fall apart now.

Before he leaves, he tells Cody to tell DiBiase that he’s sorry. With that, DiBiase arrives and asks him if he’s sticking with the plan…which Rhodes says, “Absolutely.”

Six Man Tag Team Match

Randy Orton & Legacy vs. Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne & Yoshi Tatsu

DiBiase and Tatsu start the match with Tatsu getting the early advantage following a double team with Bourne. DiBiase gets a little breathing room before bringing in Cody Rhodes. Both men go back and forth before Rhodes cuts off Airbourne and drops him with an Alabama Slam. With Orton looking on and showing approval, Rhodes continues the punishment on Bourne. DiBiase comes in off the tag and drops Bourne with a huge clothesline. But Bourne bounces back with the Gateway Drop before tagging in Kofi Kingston.

Kingston starts delivering the punishment with a flying forearm, but as he is going for the Boom Drop, Orton cuts him off and drops him to the ground. He then comes in off the tag and delivers a trifecta of body slams. Following a massive knee drop, Orton applies a reverse chinlock followed by a huge backbreaker. Orton looks over at his partners, and as Cody prepares to come into the ring, Orton drops him with a huge DDT before walking away from the ring.

As Orton delivers an RKO on the outside to DiBiase, Yoshi Tatsu drops Rhodes with a kick to the chest before Bourne nails him with Airbourne to help his team pick up the win for his team. While the trio celebrates, Orton looks on in pleasure at the carnage he caused.

Winners: Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne and Yoshi Tatsu

Interlude: Shawn Michaels-Undertaker Confrontation

Following a video snippet of the history between Taker and HBK, Shawn Michaels makes his way to the ring to explain his actions from last night’s Elimination Chamber. Shawn makes it clear that he did what he had to do in order to ensure that he faces The Undertaker at WrestleMania. As he hopes for a reaction, The Deadman makes his infamous appearance to the delight of the Indianapolis crowd.

The Deadman makes it clear that Shawn has his attention officially. Shawn tells him that his one mistake from last year’s WrestleMania cost him everything. He tells him the only way to get his revenge is to face him at WrestleMania…which The Deadman accepts. But he accepts it on one condition: If Shawn loses, his career…is over. After thinking for a moment, Shawn accepts the Deadman’s condition.

But a miscue allows Carlito to briefly have control. As Christian goes for the Killswitch, Carlito blocks it with a modified neckbreaker. Carlito goes for the Backstabber, but Christian rams him into the ring post before delivering the Killswitch and picking up the pinfall victory to earn a spot in the MITB Qualifying Match.

Diva Bull Riding Contest w/Jewel and Ty Murray

Eve Torres is the first competitor and survives the mighty Berserk. Following Eve, Kelly Kelly takes her turn on the bull. Kelly does pretty well on the bull and survives the battle as well. Now it’s the Bella Twins that take a shot on Berserk. The Twins decide to ride double, which makes every man in Indy rise to their…feet. The ladies manage to outlast the bull, but the fun goes South when the Unified Tag Team Champions come out to ruin the show. After they trash the Bull Riding Contest, Big Show gets challenged by Ty Murray to ride Berserk as well. Show tries to intimidate the bull, but the bull looks to intimidate Show. Worse part for the Tag Champs: Big Show gets tossed off in less than two seconds.

After getting embarrassed in front of a sell out crowd, Show gets taunted by Berserk, a taunt that costs him even more embarrassment. But as the champs look to leave, the power couple has one more surprise for them: They’re going to face The World’s Strongest Playas…tonight…for the Unified Tag Team Championships.

WrestleMania Main Event Match

WWE Champion Batista vs. John Cena (If Cena wins, he faces Batista at WrestleMania; if he loses, Sheamus faces The Animal at WrestleMania)

As Batista ducks the fight, the Animal delivers a low blow to cause the disqualification. This means that Cena will face Batista at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship. But after the bell, The Animal strikes and begins to assault a downed Cena. As Batista leaves the ring, Cena begins to stand up. The Animal returns to inflict more damage on Cena as he tosses him into the barricade.

He then grabs the steel steps and rams Cena’s back into the steel ring post. He again begins to walk away, smiling at the damage he inflicted on his WrestleMania opponent. But again, Cena begins to stand up. Batista returns, grabs a steel chair and slams it on the back of Cena before attempting to walk away again. Despite countless chair shots, Cena continues to try to get to his feet. As the medical team tries to tend to Cena, Batista celebrates his damage as RAW goes off the air.

It's official people: professional wrestling has gone off the deep end. With The Last Call heading to a new stomping ground in a few months, it's time for The Captain to return to what he knows. With that, here is what we have on tap for this week's pro wrestling.

WWE RAW

On RAW, we have a new WWE Champion...and it was John Cena...for about five minutes. After Cena defeated The Game to win the WWE Championship, it was Vince McMahon who would have the last laugh as he sent Batista down to decimate Cena once again. In the end, it was SmackDown's Animal that would hoist the prize above his head. Just like during Cena's first WWE Championship reign, McMahon proved to be the ultimate X-Factor. Now with Jewel and Ty Murray coming to guest host RAW tonight, how will Cena, Triple H and former champ Sheamus handle the invasion of the Animal?

Also tonight, the Rated R Superstar will finally reveal who he will face in the main event of WrestleMania. After two new champions were crowned at The Chamber, Edge now has the choice between former rival Batista or new World Heavyweight Champion and former tag team partner, Chris Jericho. With both men expected to be on RAW tonight, where will Edge decide to invade?

WWE NXT

Just as the ECW door closes with Ezekial Jackson as ECW Champion, the NXT door opens just as quickly. Eight rookies will collide with their eight mentors in a series of tests to make themselves the complete future of WWE. On Tuesday night on Syfy, But this will be no easy task as the eight rookies are paired with successful champions (Miz, Carlito, Matt Hardy), smashmouth bruisers (R-Truth, William Regal), and former/current World Champions (CM Punk, Christian, Chris Jericho). Check out this innovative new series premiering Tuesday night.

TNA iMPACT!

In case you didn't know, TNA is moving as well. iMPACT is having their final two Thursday night shows. That's right wrestling world! TNA will officially re-ignite the Monday Night Wars on March 8th, with its first Monday night show since the January 4th premiere. After the anarchy from this past Thursday's broadcast, what will the next broadcast have in store for the TNA FanNation?

The Pope is the new #1 Contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, but when he'll get that match is up in the air. But things are getting even more bizarre in the iMPACT Zone. Samoa Joe got kidnapped by a group of masked men, The British Invasion is beginning to implode and AJ Styles is still stylin' and profilin' as TNA World Champion. To top it all off, Kevin Nash has returned for one reason: To exact revenge against Hall and Waltman for their attack on him two weeks ago. As for The Pope, revenge is on his mind as well after getting jumped by AJ Styles and Ric Flair.

Oh, did I forget to mention that Hulk Hogan has taken Abyss under his wing to resurrect The Monster that is in him?

WWE Friday Night SmackDown

Controversy continues to swirl around the SmackDown Kingdom. After this past Sunday's Elimination Chamber, we have a new World Heavyweight Champion in Chris Jericho...which makes people think that the Rated R Superstar is next to challenge his former partner for the World Heavyweight Championship. But to make things even more interesting, Shawn Michaels is the reason why Jericho is the champion.

Obsessed with his quest to have one more match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania, HBK delivered Sweet Chin Music to The Deadman, and cost him the gold. Now what is next for the Deadman is simple: Invoke his rematch clause and face Jericho for the gold. But now, Shawn is determined to have his moment.

Speaking of obsessions, SmackDown consultant Vickie Guerrero once again abused her power at Elimination Chamber and is determined to return to her role as General Manager. What will Teddy Long do with Vince McMahon's personal poodle taking over the entire show? And how will Vickie react when she finally runs into Edge? Plus, Mickie James defends the Women's Championship against Michelle McCool...with Vickie Guerrero as special referee! Will McCool regain the gold she lost with the help of Guerrero? Or will the Ultimate Diva Underdog overcome the adversity of a disgruntled former champion and consultant?

Tiger Woods felt the need to apologize to the world.  Yes, he probably had someone else write the script for him, but honestly I feel he doesn't owe us anything.  All he owes apologies is to his wife and their kids.  All he did was show he is human and well humans make mistakes.   If they decide to get back together, well then great for them, but honestly most fans of golf only care about Tiger on the course.  The PGA needs Tiger back out there because without him it is like watching golf in the early nineties and who can tell me who won the Masters in 93 or the Open in 95?

As we have seen over the last few years, fans forgive when you succeed on the field.  From Ray Lewis involvement in a murder to Michale Vick's inexcuseable behavior with the dogfigting to AROD admitting he cheated.  Fans forgive!  By no means am I am comparing those things to this or to each other, I am just saying that these are examples of how easily we forget until the next athlete steals the spotlight of stupidity

Straighten yourself out Tiger...and get on the course
