Hulk Hogan bumps into Shaq backstage (I guess he just happened to be back there), and Shaq said he’ll be watching Hogan’s back tonight if Aces & Eights decides to get rowdy.

Original post found at: Illegal Foreign Object. Don’t look now, but it appears we’ve messed around and found ourselves dead in the middle of some of one of the greatest heel crops in the history of the business. From the bombast of Dolph Ziggler to the old school, smash mouth approach of Bully Ray, there’s truly something for everyone with today’s top heels. I’m never less than completely impressed when I watch Dolph Ziggler work. His in-ring work is stellar, his promo is continually… [Continue Reading]

WWE NXT 08/29/12 Mike Dalton and Jason Jordan take on Hunico and Camacho. Hunico pins Dalton after an angle slam. ^Dalton is very versatile and looks good in the ring. Jordan bores me. Hunico is great at helping other talent improve, but the guy is too good to just be used on the B shows. Good tag team action here. The Ascension attack the Usos before they can have a match. ^I like this booking. Increasing a tag team rivalry on the B show… [Continue Reading]

Bully Ray starts us off by coming out to the ring with his Twittah Machine to proclaim himself the leader of the Bully Nation. Bubba says he learned something from Joseph Park, and that’s that if there’s enough evidence, it means someone’s guilty, and all the evidence is pointing right at James Storm. He’s going to prove that Storm is behind Aces & Eights, but first he’s going to beat him and then go on to Hardcore Justice and win there too and get… [Continue Reading]

After a recap of what happened in the last week, Sting made his way to the ring.

He said that… [Continue Reading]

Original article found at: IllegalForeignObject.com I’m still recovering. Sleep was an impossibility, my throat is torn to shreds, and I’m still having a hard time getting my head around everything I saw. I know this: It was an honor and a privilege to have been a part of the live viewing public for TNA’s 10th anniversary show, Slammiversary. It was an honor to have been a part of the largest crowd to ever see a TNA live event. It was an honor to see… [Continue Reading]

Original post found at www.illegalforeignobject.com There is no doubt the WWE panders to a younger demographic. I respect the hell out of John Cena, but he’s the biggest star in the business, not only because of his tireless work ethic and positive attitude, but because WWE can market him as a safe option for kids. There’s certainly nothing at all wrong with that, as they did the very same thing with Hulk Hogan in the 80’s, becoming a global juggernaut in the process. It… [Continue Reading]

From there we open the show proper as Kurt Angle comes out with cuecards that list the many reasons he attacked Jeff Hardy, why he hates Hardy, and why fans love him.

We kick the show off with a recap of the events leading into last week when Sting announced Roode vs Storm in the main event of Lockdown, followed by Roode’s heartless destruction of Sting’s groin and ribs.
