Blast from the Past - Booker T vs. Buff Bagwell

The long awaited "debut" of the new WCW on Raw from Tacoma, Washington was a flop. Given the final half hour of the 7/2 Raw, Buff Bagwell and Booker T had what many fans felt was the worst main event in the history of the program. Bagwell, who had his first match in months the day before on a house show, blew up quickly, and was using long restholds in a match that should have been non-stop action to put over the quality of the WCW performers. Booker T tried, but was still shaking off the ringrust himself, and was not in a position to carry Bagwell. The match was embarrassing, and chants of "Boring" and "This Match Sucks" were clearly heard throughout. A WWF(E) source said Vince McMahon "absolutely hated" the whole WCW segment. That same night, Billy Kidman defeated Shane Helms for the WCW Cruiserweight Title. This was the first time a "WCW title" would change hands on a WWF(E) show.

WWE Superstars Results: Eye Give Up

There are not many Superstars that are as explosive in the ring as John Morrison, and he displayed his incredible athleticism and innovative offense in defeating Charlie Haas. Whatever Haas did, The Friday Night Delight seemed to have an answer for, being one step ahead for most of the match. In the end, The Shaman of Sexy took the Seton Hall alum for a Moonlight Drive and followed up with the Starship Pain to ensure the pin and the win. The sky seems to be the limit for Morrison and his ever-growing arsenal of impressive moves will continue to lead him to the top. Full results.

Homicide Still Craves the Independents

If you ask almost any TNA wrestler what the benefits of working for the promotion is, for many the top one is the opportunity to continue to work for independent wrestling companies. Such is the case with LAX’s Homicide.

The Latino superstar is no stranger to the independent scene, having worked his way up on shows in the Northeastern U.S., including a brief reign as Ring of Honor Champion, before becoming one of the hottest acts in TNA.

Rumor Mill - Stephanie McMahon Coaching the Announcers

With Vince McMahon taking on a greater on-air presence in recent weeks, he has been less involved in the production process. Stephanie has been handling much of his production duties, including communication with the announcers, which is considered a much calmer scenario for such on-air talent. Vince McMahon is known for his aggressive approach when instructing the announcers during WWE's broadcasts.
