Iran Angered Over Films 'The Wrestler' and '300'
The film "300," portrays the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C., in which a force of 300 Spartans held off a massive Persian army at a mountain pass in Greece for three days. It angered many Iranians for the way Persians are depicted as decadent, sexually flamboyant and evil in contrast to the noble Greeks.
Iranians also criticized "The Wrestler" starring Mickey Rourke as a rundown professional wrestler who is preparing for a rematch with his old nemesis, "The Ayatollah." During a fight scene, "The Ayatollah" tries to choke Rourke with an Iranian flag before Rourke pulls the flagpole away, breaks it and throws it into the cheering crowd.
Neither movie was shown in Iran...More?

Brett Hart Comments on the Current WWE Creative Direction
“I do try and watch it. I think Randy Orton is pretty good. The little thing they’re doing with Shane and Stephanie and everything, I’m kind of liking it so far. It seems interesting enough...Theres a few guys out there that are wrestling pretty good. I think they can do a better job with their storylines, but they seem to be getting a little better lately then they were a few months back.”

Raw/ECW House Show Results - Long Island, NY
Our two main events were supposed to be Shawn Michaels vs. Koslov and Cena/Triple H vs. Orton/Jericho, but the show seemed to be running late so they decided to combine the two.
Cena comes out to a big pop. Triple H's music hits but he doesn't come out. Orton gets on the mic and says the rest of Legacy couldn't be here tonight because they were taking care of some business. That business being Triple H, who would not be there tonight. He offered HBK and Cena the chance to run off to the back and give up, but instead they charged the ring and the match began.
John Cena & Shawn Michaels beat Chris Jericho & Randy Orton & Kozlov. Pretty standard stuff with all the guys running through their moves. fter a ref bump, all hell breaks out for a second and it all ends with Orton RKO'ing HBK and lining up for the punt. Triple H's music hits right before Orton goes in for the punt. He comes out and tackles Orton and starts punching him. He throws Orton around a little and then goes to the outside to get his sledgehammer. Crowd is now going nuts.
He gets in the ring and Orton backs into the corner pleading with Triple H not to him. Koslov comes in and interferes, taking Triple H to the outside. Orton runs off. Inside the ring, HBK is recovering from the RKO and in comes Jericho with a chair, slamming it against the mat waiting for Michaels to get up.
Behind him, Triple H has returned to the ring with the sledgehammer. He just stands behind Jericho staring him down. Michaels gets up but Jericho has realized what's going on behind him. Turns around to Hunter, then when he turns back to HBK, he's met with Sweet Chin Music. Cena comes back in and gives him the "Attitude Adjuster" as the ref wakes up for the three count. The three of them pose for a while and shake hands to send the crowd home happy.
