Madusa, the WWE Hall of Famer who was inducted under her WWE name of Alundra Blayze, did her own “pipe bomb” on her Facebook page talking about the current WWE Divas.
“Well let’s just call it like I see it…. Most of you are over rated! Half of you cannot wrestle, some just sound illiterate as soon as you open your pie hole, all so disrespectful,” Madusa wrote, adding that she threw up in her mouth when Nikki Bella threw up her hand when someone from the audience mentioned Alundra Blayze’s name during the Divas segment.
She said she was the real revolutionary that started this women’s revolution and also dissed Paige for calling the NXT women’s title as “the” title. Madusa knocked Paige for her own “pipe bomb” saying she’s not AJ, who followed her husband’s footsteps by doing her own “shoot” interview in the middle of the ring.
“Oh and where in the hell is #teambad #tobusywithglowsticks and things that #glowinthedark?” she questioned. She added that as far as she is concerned, Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Natalya are the ones to look out for.
“But what the hell do I know…… I am 50, past my time and have been reported as an ugly bitch! I have three words you can call me #Bossassbitch!”
The trailer for the WWE Studios movie starring Randy Orton titled The Condemned 2 was released this week.
The movie is about a failed mission to capture the leader of a deadly gambling ring played by Wes Studi. Bounty hunter Will Tanner, played by Randy Orton, becomes the hunted — a human target in a game in which contestants must kill or be killed. As high rollers bet on who will survive, Will, his dad, played by Eric Roberts, and members of Will’s team wage an all-out war against the game’s mastermind, played by Steven Michael Quezada.
The Condemned 2 is a co-production with Lionsgate and will be available in select theaters and on-demand November 6. It’s rated R.
The movie is a follow up to the 2007 film with the same name starring Steve Austin. It was the third WWE Studios movie at the time and to this day is the least grossing WWE Studios which had a full theatrical release getting only $7.3 million in domestic receipts.
Alarm bells must be ringing at WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut as Raw ratings continue its decline with this week’s show drawing 3,330,000 million viewers on average, down from last week’s 3,349,000.
Hour one started with 3,476,000 viewers, followed by 3,326,000 viewers in the second hour, and then went further down to 3,188,000 viewers in the third and final hour.
Last week’s show was the worst non-holiday number since the early days of 1997 so this week’s show now has that record. (Ratings credit: TV By The Numbers)
The Associated Press is now reporting that the decision the judge took in the motion to unseal the Hulk Hogan case documents last week was not actually a decision of the motion they filed a couple of days before with other media companies, but rather for a request the media did earlier in the Summer.
The AP issued a correction to their original story saying a hearing by Judge Pamela A. Campbell is scheduled for this Thursday that will tackle this new motion.
Currently the FBI records into the investigation including the video can only be seen by the attorneys for Hulk Hogan and Gawker.
Wade Barrett made his return to Monday Night Raw last night after being out of action since after SummerSlam.
Barrett returned home to England after the pay-per-view to film a WWE Studios-Richwater Films action-thriller film titled Eliminators. The movie follows a former U.S. federal agent who must abandon the witness protection program and come out of hiding after his London home is mistakenly invaded, leading to him finding himself on the run from Europe’s most dangerous assassin to get his daughter to safety.
This will be Barrett’s second time in a movie, having previously performed a small role in the 2013 film Dead Man Down.
The season 4 finale of Total Divas airs tonight on E! with episode 13 titled Return of the Ex.
The finale will focus on Nikki Bella, who gets approached once again by ex-boyfriend Dolph Ziggler who says he wants her back. Meanwhile, Nattie faces career-ending news for both her and her husband TJ, and Paige debates telling her fiance her true feelings on their engagement.
“Superfly” Jimmy Snuka will be back in court on October 7 as a judge Maria Dantos set a hearing to decide if the case will go straight to trial.
Snuka was originally set to have a preliminary hearing on September 21 however the Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office filed a motion to request a bill of information is approved by the court.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Charles Gallagher argued that “a preliminary hearing in this case would squander judicial resources,” and another lengthy, complex testimony from an investigating grand jury “could be considered not only a waste of scarce grand jury and judicial time, but also a repetitious, costly, and superfluous layer of delay before trial.”
The former WWE Superstar, who is suffering from cancer, is being charged with a third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter for the death of his mistress Nancy Argentino back in 1983. The case went cold however thanks to the investigative work of The Morning Call newspaper the DA office agreed to re-open the case and even find enough evidence to charge Snuka.
Kurt Angle’s first match back in 4 months will be against former TNA champion Eric Young and it will happen at the Bound For Glory pay-per-view.
“I’ll be able to face the most talented wrestler on the TNA Roster, @TheEricYoung – looking forward to it,” Angle wrote on his Twitter. With all Impact shows taped for months, the Bound For Glory build-up has mostly been online.
Angle’s time in TNA is coming to an end as he already announced that he will not be signing a new deal once his contract is up in January.

Match #1: Single for the United States Championship – John Cena (Champion) VS. ??? (Challenger)
After Cena cuts a quick promo declaring the Open Challenge, the mystery opponent(s) are the trombone-playing, Tag-Team Champions The New Day! Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston, and Big E. walk down the ramp and proclaim they will beat The Dudleys at Madison Square Garden this Saturday, available on WWE Network; they then predict to be the new U..S. Champs and “swimming in all the gold!” (minus the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.) Cena orders them to stop goofing around and instead just wrestle. New Day reveal Xavier to be Cena’s challenger.
Following formal introductions by Lillian Garcia, the bell rings and John clotheslines Xavier hard! The Tag-Team Champion tumbles to the outside and yells “I wasn’t ready!” All New Day members hop the apron, but Kofi and Big back off. Cena plants Xavier with the spin-out backdrop, but is grabbed on the ankle by Kofi as he ran off the ropes. The referee sends E and Kingston to the back!

Cena is still in control, but Xavier reverses and starts to gain momentum. He dives off the turnbuckle with a DDT, then brings him down with a reverse-suplex a short time later. Cena begins a comeback, attempting an Attitude Adjustment, but Woods reverses into a foot and armbreaker. He climbs the turnbuckle and soars again, but Cena moves and Xavier hits the mat.

They poke fun at Miz’s attire and call him a “sexist, chauvinistic, jackass!” He stir the pot about them, insinuating that Team PCB has split. Charlotte insists that Paige join them and talk it out, or “throw it down.” Miz doesn’t take well to Charlotte overtaking MizTV, but Becky chucks his mike to the ramp.
Instead of Paige, Team Bella walk out. All three mock PCB’s state, and say they (Bella) are “more united and stronger than ever.” Charlotte pressures Nikki that she will tap-out again. Nikki goes on to take credit for setting off the “Divas Revolution.” Charlotte disagrees, saying that all the Divas equally created it.
Paige now appears and procures ownership of “The Revolution.” She says that since she was the first NXT Women’s Champion, that’s what brought Charlotte and Becky up. Nikki wonders why Lynch and Charlotte are not fighting back; “if you have friends like these, why do you even need enemies?” Paige wittily replies, “yeah, and if you have two boyfriends like yours, who really needs ambition!” (referring to The Bellas dating/being married to John Cena and Daniel Bryan, respectively.)
This embarks a fight, with Team Bella being shoved out of the ring by all of PCB

Kane and Ashley walk to the ring; she starts to give her findings but is promptly interjected by WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. He has put together a highlight package of Kane’s faults over the last while, but Kane retaliates with one of his own on Rollins. Ashley concludes that Kane is completely OK to help run Raw as The Director Of Operations, but it may be Rollins that really needs the help, which now infuriates Seth.
He yells at both of them, then gives an awkward-looking Pedigree to Kane. He continues the punishment by whacking a chair repeatedly over Kane’s left knee. He screams at Kane that “he’s the man!” Doctors and paramedics rush to help Kane, and carry him away on stretcher and in ambulance.
In the garage, as Seth is still watching on the ‘Titantron from the ring, the ambulance suddenly stops. It goes back to Rollins then back to the garage, where the emergency vehicle is now filled with red lighting and smoke. Out bursts Kane, in “Big Red Machine/Demon” gear. He limps at first, then stomps his left foot on the ground and walks normally. He marches to the ring with a purpose, where he Chokeslams Rollins and goes for the Tombstone, but Seth slides out and scurries to the back. Kane holds up the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and signals his pyro to blow.

End Of Raw.
Reporter’s Rumblings
This was another great Raw overall; I enjoyed the storytelling and line-up of the matches; most were well-wrestled, but a lot of them had bad finishes. Onto the particulars:
Excellence: All of Kane/Rollins; loving this new/old feud, especially with the new angle Kane has. He is truly playing it perfectly, and I can almost see him winning the belt from Rollins for “one-last run” before retirement; I think he deserves it for the long career he’s had in WWE and all that he’s put up with!
Paige’s new attitude; as with Kane, she is playing it very well too and this is the “bad girl” Paige I really like. The promo by the other Divas was pretty great too, as was the match.
Also liked Woods/Cena, (and all The New Day does) and New Day/Dudleyz/Cena Six-Man, and Bray/Reigns.
As always, Paul Heyman and Bray was awesome on the mike/video promos. Loved the passion/”fire” from The Big Show too; again like Paige, this is the attitude I like to see out of Show and how he should be built again until he also retires.
Bogus: Too many DQs. One or two is OK, but not as many as they had tonight. Henry/Show was a waste of time;
I knew right away that Henry was going to lose when he was on screen and didn’t even get an entrance. With Big, we don’t need to see how strong he is; those who have been watching a long while know what he can do in the ring when he really wants to. Thankfully, this does seem like a time he really wants to and thus didn’t need the match. I also think Lesnar should’ve been included here and had at least a stare down with Show prior to Madison Square Garden, especially since they’re using them in the title on Saturday night; would’ve added a little more effect.
Was disappointed in the return of Barrett; at first I was a little excited because he seemed serious and no-nonsense/dropped the “king” gimmick, but unfortunately, he’s still referring himself to that. I want him to go back to the “Bare Knuckle Brawler” character he had a long while ago; that suits him best and can be taken way more importance.
All-in-all, again a really good show. Until Smackdown!, Be Excellent Wrestling-Online Readers and Fans!

The WWE YouTube channel topped the charts for August in terms of views according to TubeFilter.com and analytics company OpenSlate.
WWE videos ranked number one worldwide with a whopping 456.4 million views for last month, with the LittleBabyBum channel following closely at 448.4 million.
WWE’s rise to the top of YouTube’s ranks last month was largely thanks to SummerSlam, which is WWE’s second biggest pay-per-view of the year behind WrestleMania.
WWE makes money off its YouTube videos which is why the company uploads several content, including original stuff, to the world’s biggest video sharing website.
WWE today announced that in accordance with its Talent Wellness Program, WWE has suspended Dylan Postl, better known to fans as Hornswoggle for 30 days, effective immediately, for his first violation of the company’s policy.
It’s been quite a while since WWE published a name of someone who for some reason failed the Wellness Program test. The statement on WWE.COM did not specify what drug test Postl failed.
Brooklyn has locked down SummerSlam for the next two years as WWE today announced that the 2016 and 2017 pay-per-view shows will be taking place at the Barclays Center, the site of this year’s event.
Following this year’s massive success in the area, WWE opted to leave the West Coast again where SummerSlam has been a recurring event in Los Angeles.
In 2016, WWE will host NXT on August 20, SummerSlam on August 21, and Raw on August 22, while in 2017, NXT takes place on August 19, SummerSlam on August 20, and Raw on August 21.
“We are thrilled to build on the success of the 2015 SummerSlam and welcome WWE back to Brooklyn in 2016 and 2017. Big events like SummerSlam help cement New York City’s appeal as a dynamic, high-energy destination,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. “We’re thankful for WWE’s commitment to Brooklyn, and look forward to a long partnership that benefits the City.”
Brett Yormark, CEO of Barclays Center, added, “We’re excited to be hosting WWE SummerSlam for the next two years. We had an incredible experience this past August and are looking forward to continuing our partnership with WWE and NYC & Company.”
WWE described the Barclays Center, NYC & Company and the City of New York as “incredible partners” to them and judging from the wonderful reception WWE got during those three nights it was not a surprise that they have decided to bring back SummerSlam week back in NYC.
Barbie Blank, the former WWE Diva better known to fans as Kelly Kelly, told British-based DigitalSpy that she would return to WWE if asked.
“If WWE approached me about it I definitely would consider it – I wouldn’t say no,” Blank said. She last wrestled for the WWE in August 2012 and was released a month later. She has not appeared on WWE television ever since.
Blank said that if given the chance she would love to wrestle Paige and noted the girls she used to wrestle against back when she was there – including the Bella Twins, Alicia Fox, Natalya, and Rosa Mendes – are still with the company.
Kelly Kelly is a one time WWE Divas champion and she was speaking with DigitalSpy to promote E!’s WAGS where she is part of the cast.
The 2016 Fastlane pay-per-view will be taking place in Cleveland, Ohio, at the Quicken Loans Arena on February 21.

Jason Jordan and Chad Gable defeated The Hype Bros. to advance to the semis and will now be facing Baron Corbin and Rhyno. The winners of that match will meet the winners of the other semi final match featuring Finn Balor and Samoa Joe vs The Mechanics.
Both the semi finals and the finals will be held at the NXT Takeover: Respect live WWE Network event on October 7 with Cody and Dustin Rhodes presenting the trophy to the winners.
Hulk Hogan’s court records will remain sealed after a Florida judge today rejected the motion brought forward by a group of media outlets to make them public.
The Associated Press and a group of other media companies filed a motion yesterday requesting all records in the current Hulk Hogan sex tape lawsuit become public. One of the tapes sealed was leaked to The National Enquirer who outed Hulk Hogan as a racist after publishing a tape of Hogan saying a lot of racial remarks when he was being secretly taped having sex with Heather Clem, the ex-wife of one of his biggest friends Bubba “The Love Sponge.”
The attorney representing the media companies said in a statement that it’s highly unusual for this much secrecy to surround a civil proceeding.
After suffering several setbacks, Hogan finally won a round in court. He’s suing Gawker for $100 million for the leaked sex tape and the case will go to trial in the first quarter of 2016.
Presiding judge Joseph J. Matika slapped a $2,000 bail on Tammy “Sunny” Sytch during yesterday’s hearing after she was arrested for not showing up at three different court hearings.
TMZ reported that the WWE Hall of Famer was still in jail yesterday afternoon as no one has bailed her out yet however she posted the $2,000 bail in the evening.
“Skyping tomorrow night! email me at Synnyskype8@gmail.com for info and to reserve your spot,” she wrote on Twitter today, continuing her one on one video sessions with fans that sometimes also include full nudity, depending on how much you pay.
The trial, stemming from her DUI arrest in May of this year, is expected to start on December 7 although she has other court dates in between for cases unrelated to this particular one.
Stone Cold Steve Austin has come out to slam the reports that he is one of the people being considered to wrestle Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 32 next year.
“You can take my name off the rumor mill as a Brock Lesnar opponent at WM32,” Austin wrote on his Twitter before calling those who wrote the rumors as, “Bullshit reporting.”
The WWE Hall of Famer was put on the spot by Paul Heyman a couple of months ago during the Stone Cold Podcast on the WWE Network and the addition of Lesnar as his next guest this month fueled these rumors.
Austin, in no way, shape, or form, has ever said that he wants to take on Lesnar at WrestleMania. He last got in the ring at WrestleMania XIX in Seattle, Washington, losing to The Rock in what ended up being his last ever WWE match.
Smackdown TV Report for September 24th, 2015 – “Side A or Side B?”
Introduction Segment: Video Promo and Arena Promo
Night Of Champions and Raw is recapped with a video montage, then we go live to the arena in Corpus Christi, Texas. Eden Stiles asks us to welcome the Director Of Operations, Kane. The (former) “Big Red Machine” is thrilled to be back, and books a couple of bouts for the night. Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens will partner with Rusev to face Dolph Ziggler and Ryback; Roman Reigns will take on Luke Harper; and Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, and Braun Strowman are banned from ringside.
He is about to announce another match when WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins comes out on stage. Kane is happy to see him too, but Rollins can’t figure out what’s going on with him. He accuses Kane of still being “the demon” despite wearing corporate attire now. The 7-footer almost turns to that side, but backs down. Seth alludes that Kane needs professional help, psychologically, but Kane will just “take that under advisement.” The WWE World Heavyweight Champion can’t believe it, and Kane puts him in a match against Dean Ambrose, later!
Rich Brennan, Jerry “The King” Lawler, and Booker T. address us from the announce table. Booker speculates that Kane now has Split-Personality Disorder, but Lawler thinks that Kane is just playing it up to …. Rollins.
Roman Reigns makes his entrance to meet Luke Harper!

End Of Smackdown!
Reporter’s Rumblings – By Moe Tapp
This the first time ever in all of my reports that I liked absolutely everything promo and match-wise on this show! Smackdown! was excellent this week, with a good mix of promos and action, and all was well put together/spoken. I don’t even have to go into my usual breakdown, as the whole show would go into my “excellence” category. Way to go, Smackdown!
Until Raw, Be Excellent Wrestling-Online Readers and Fans!
