Today, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts looks healthy, coherent and happy. Just a few short years ago, that wasn’t the case and the man’s life was in pretty poor shape. The demons which have plagued Jake during his life have been well-documented, so it’s heartening to see the man getting his existence back in fine fettle.
Thanks to the help of Diamond Dallas Page and his closest friends, Roberts has turned the sinking ship into a more healthy vessel. The former WWF and WCW star also has pro wrestling fans to thank for getting things back together, but at the same time he can’t help but think back to a time when they pretty much cost him a lot of money.
In this week’s article, find out about Jake’s thoughts on the feud that never was against Hulk Hogan. Words spoken to him...

Vroom, vroom! We’re on the fastlane to WrestleMania! But first, we’re going to take a pit-stop at a pay-per-view called Fastlane with action you can’t get anywhere else! Well, except for that we’ve seen Chris Jericho vs. A.J. Styles a couple times, Kevin Owens vs. Dolph Ziggler six times since the beginning of December, and Kalisto vs. Alberto Del Rio in some form so many times that another round feels like a bad joke… but Besides That, um… Brock Lesnar vs. Roman vs. Dean could be fun!
The worst insult of the week goes to Velvet Sky for calling The Dollhouse “The Doghouse.” Woof. Well, elsewhere in the wrestling world, WWE announced an award called the Vincent J. McMahon award. Someday, there will be a Vincent K. McMahon award with the body of a 70-year-old Vince, and the face of Hornswoggle. It seems only fitting.

During this week’s broadcast of Bound for Glory 2015 on Challenge TV in the UK and Ireland, Tna President Dixie Carter announced that television cameras will be rolling during the Maximum Impact 8 tour of the UK this January. This means that all three stops on the tour will be double Impact Wrestlng TV tapings, giving Tna six weeks of television emanating from their most fervent fanbase, the United Kingdom.
This announcement also gives fans reassurance to a degree over Tna’s future. While its Us based television future is open to speculation, Impact Wrestling is also aired in 120 other countries around the world. Tna ‘s UK tour traditionally gets the biggest live audiences of the year for the company, and so they will no doubt be delighted that this will be seen by fans around the world.

Bully Ray is going to return to Tna Impact Wrestling at their tapings tonight according to PWInsider.
The former Tna World Champion has been at their Orlando tapings for the past two days working on his comeback. His return will be for a full time run after he made a cameo appearance as a special guest referee for a World Title match between Kurt Angle and Eric Young on May 8.
Ray left Tna last October when his contract, as well as the contract of his partner Brother Devon, expired and they felt like trying other things.

Hulk Hogan’s son, 24 year old Nick Hogan, has become the first male victim of the fappening.
The son of the WWE legend isn’t a major celebrity, but he does have some notoriety after appearing on the ‘Hogan Knows Best’ reality show in the mid 2000’s. He has even greater infamy after drink driving and drag racing in a 2007 incident that left friend John Graziano needing 24 hour care for the rest of his life. Nick ended up serving five months in jail for his criminal recklessness.
Now he has the infamy of having his nude photos hacked. The fappening tended to be the release of intimate photos of female celebrities, with the hacker using iCloud weaknesses to get the images. Now Nick’s entire photo library has been hacked and leaked. Photos include naked women, male genitalia (presumably his own) and most bizarrely pictures of his mother bent over in a thong.

With Tna Wrestling’s biggest pay-per-view of the year less than two weeks away, the company has officially released the entire card for this year’s Bound for Glory. This year’s 10th annual edition of the PPV event will take place at the legendary Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan on October 12th. The show will be jointly produced along with Keiji Mutoh’s Wrestle-1 promotion.
Many fans had wondered when Tna would announce the match-ups for Bound for Glory as the event grew closer. Now, the company has officially announced the entire card for the PPV. Interestingly, only one championship will be on the line, and it’s not the Tna World title. Also, the card will unsurprisingly feature a handful of Tna versus Wrestle-1 contests.
The recently debuted Knockout, Havok, will compete against former Knockout Champion, Velvet Sky. The masked Manik will take on Wrestle-1’s Minoru Tanaka,...

Aj Lee is the latest victim of the fappening internet leaks. The news was reported by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, and is currently trending all over twitter. The image will likely be removed from social media, with Twitter having a policy to delete all fappening related posts. However, as of Thursday morning, what purports to be the image is here and here.
Some fans are already questioning if this is actually Aj. The face looks a bit different, but then again, she is posing with a tilted angle. There’s also the hip tatoo, something which we haven’t seen on WWE television. However, the tattoo appears to be under the hipline, so that could be why we’ve never noticed it before.
Many of the actual fappening threads are being closed down, so finding the Aj photo via a conventional google search is difficult.

A major tag team match has been added, with tag team champions the Wolves taking on Team 3D and the Hardy Boyz, but no word as of yet if the tag titles will be on the line.
Samoa Joe vs. Low Ki has also been announced, as the two X-Division stars will lock horns for the first time in years in an X-Division title match. Tna previously announced that former Ecw and WWE star Tajiri will also be in action during the tapings.

Wrestling actually has a fair bit in common with pornography. In fact, there are more than a few things that both brands of entertainment have in common.
I’m talking about things like the bad acting, implausible scenarios, fake boobs, baby oil, grunting and groaning during complex manoeuvres, fake boobs, bad dye jobs, a plethora of nonsensical tattoos (placed in very odd locations), fake boobs, dudes on steroids, fake boobs and, of course, the presence of Hulk Hogan (ooh, I went there!)
Because of this, it should come as no surprise whatsoever to learn that A Lot of wrestlers throughout history have specifically chosen ring names for themselves that will help them cross over into the porn industry (probably).

After last week’s Full Metal Mayhem, I was interested to see the second dose of Impact from Corpus Christi. There was a lot more action and a lot less Hogan. Although, the hand we were dealt with the Aces and Eights might not have been the strongest no matter how many beat downs they do. But I’ll explain soon enough.
Impact Wrestling began with a video package detailing the events of last week and that Jeff Hardy would not be appearing on this weeks episode. Then we go backstage and see the Sergeant in arms for Aces and Eights Devon talking to be younger, Garrett Bischoff and Wes Brisco that they need to take their match with Kurt Angle very seriously because he’s dangerous.
Wes and Garrett make their way to the ring but before we see Angle they give us a video package detailing the whole...

In the home of Arkansas State University, Tna came into town and delivered a show that was odd to say the least. The matches and angles themselves were a little off but what puzzled me more was the fact that they basically came out and told you at the beginning of the show the next two weeks don’t matter as they set up to big title matches for the next April 11 in Corpus Christi, Texas. When you go ahead and say a title match is coming in two weeks the audience already checks out of what you’re saying because you’re basically telling them to tune out because the next few weeks really does not matter.
Now, I know with the new pay-per-view schedule that this was going to happen, but I didn’t think they would be so blatant in like a throwaway episode of Impact in the process.

Once again we make the return to the Impact Zone, and what do we have in store on the road towards Lockdown on March 10. It is the final night in the UK, and hopefully Tna will leave it in style with their own brand of quality wrestling and storytelling. Tonight will see more championship action for the lucky British fans, as Rob Van Dam defends his X Division Championship against the supremely confident Kenny King, and Tara has her back against the wall when she has to defend her Tna Knockouts’ Championship against three hungry challengers, namely Gail Kim, Brooke Tessmacher and Velvet Sky, in a four-way elimination match.
In addition to the championship action, we will see if Hulk Hogan finally gets the opportunity to name the Number One Contender for Jeff Hardy’s World Championship, or will he once again be interrupted by the force of Aces & Eights.

Another Thursday, another episode of Impact Wrestling passes us by, and tonight had all the makings of an excellent outing for the second largest wrestling organisation. Both the X-Division Championship and the World Tag Team Championships would be defended, there would be a tag team tables match featuring Bully Ray and Sting against members of Aces & Eights, and hopefully we will be treated to some explanations as to why Garrett Bischoff and Wes Brisco turned on their mentor Kurt Angle to join the nefarious biker gang.
Once again, the Impact Zone was emanating from Manchester in the United Kingdom, so expect some raucous crowd interaction and a great deal of low-key racism from the heel superstars tonight. The UK love it when either Tna or WWE come to their neck of the woods, and they will certainly try and make the most of the extended stay of the Impact wrestlers on their shores.

After Tazz’s shocking decision to join the Aces and Eights, the group gatecrashed the wedding and proceeded to take out every person in site, and forced Brooke Hogan to watch both her father and her fiancee Bully Ray get beaten down by the rebellious bandits. Also, there will be two championship matches, as Velvet Sky challenges Tara for the Knockouts Championship, and Jeff Hardy defends his World Heavyweight Championship against Christopher Daniels.

On Friday, WWE announced the release of former Divas Champion Kelly Kelly. There have been reports that Kelly had been rather disinterested with touring with the WWE, wanting to spend more time with her ice hockey boyfriend, and had been modelling under her real name, Barbie Blank. Kelly spent the last 6 years in the employment of the WWE, having started as a exhibitionist in the revamp Ecw. Much of her in-ring career was spent as a bit part player in a then much stronger women’s division. Despite this, she would become one of the more popular divas in during this time and would eventually become the face of the Diva division by 2011.
Kelly was by no means a brilliant in-ring worker, but Kelly had been the one of the few remaining ‘over’ divas in the WWE, and her release makes her the 5th female to be release from the...

Impact Wrestling – Feb 15th 2012
Bobby Roode retained successfully at Against All Odds so he rightfully was the main focus of the show this week. Although you have to question why he made Christy introduce him twice, he must be a glutton for punishment. He also rightfully pointed out that it’s Sting’s own fault he is still champion. The “Insane Icon” didn’t like this and so hit the ring and put him in a No Dq, No Time Limit match against Jeff Hardy in the first match. Is anyone still drug testing Jeff? Only someone on drugs could devise such terrible entrances and face paint every week. Either way, they had a decent opening match which even had a few spots around the stage and ramp. Hardy was all over Roode for the majority, and only lost when Kurt Angle made a return and threw Jeff into the steps.

Tna Impact Wrestling! 26th January 2011
As always, last week gets recapped. But you read that last week right? Right!?
We pick up backstage where Jeff Hardy is beating down Bully Ray in that are that they always seem to be taking photos. They brawl past that with some terribly unrealistic punches and out to another backstage area. Just in time, Roode pulls up in his beautiful white truck and jumps Hardy with Bully. Bully drops a piece of wood on Jeff’s leg that looks like it weighs less than a sponge. They throw him in the back of the truck, but then James Storm comes out of nowhere and gets involved. He throws Storm through a barricade then smacks Bully with a Plastic bottle. I should note there’s a lot of needless grunting going on. Then, Sting comes into the picture and takes a bat to Roode’s stomach.

First we recap Roode smashing a bottle over Storm to take his world title from him, with further emphasis on the spit and some epic music just to emphasise the heel turn. Then we are in Georgia for Impact Wrestling. And Robert Roode is first out with his new World Title and music that proclaims him to be off the chain. He says that each and every one of us would have done what he did. He tells us this is a generation of selfishness and he is the leader. Doing things the right way in society today gets you nowhere. In a picture in picture shot we see James Storm at the Gorilla position watching, then getting stopped by security when he tries to come out. That’S interesting, I like that. Finally wrestling addresses the question “Why do they only interrupt after letting them speak for ten minutes.

Impact Wrestling. October 27th 2011
Opening video this week is a recap of James Storm winning the world title. And in the arena we kick off with the new champion himself coming to the ring with brand new music and entrance video. Storm shouts out his dad because he did this for him. And he remembers them watching Wrestlemania 3 together. Can he say that? Guess so. He also says he couldn’t have done it without the fans. I don’t wanna go back and watch, but a face says that every week on Tna right? Storm brings out Fortune, because he has something to say to them. Aj, Kaz and Roode join him in the ring. Storm says the song says Fortune Four but they’re about to change things, like they’ve changed wrestling. Storm says he knows Roode got screwed at Bfg. And so he’s drunkenly come...

Hot off the heels of disappointing/predictable/weird Bound For Glory, we are back in Florida for Impact Wrestling this week. First we get a video to remind us that Hogan turned face and joined Sting, then in the arena Sting himself is on the way to the ring. Sting is happy that he got the company back to Dixie, and that he got the real Hulk Hogan back. The explanation for turning face should be a good one, right? Sting brings out Hogan and he’s all smiles and in classic red and yellow. Hogan says for the last year he’s been wrong. That was a very sudden realisation. Hogan explains that he had a few bad years, lost a bit of confidence and became a follower of Bischoff rather than a leader. There’s only one person to thank he says. And its Sting.

Tna Bound For Glory 2011
October 16th, Live from Philadelphia
Obligatory shot of the Liberty Bell and of course Rocky before we move into the Bound For Glory hype video. Then we are listening to Stain’d (for the first time since 2001 if you’re anything like me) as we go Live into the arena. You’d think for their biggest show of the year they’d have some pyro.
X Division Title
Brian Kendrick vs. Austin Aries
Lockup, the crowd strongly behind Austin Aries for some reason. We are in Philly tonight, the crowd could be interesting. Kendrick hip toss and a side head lock take over or three. Austin gets out of each one with an easy head scissors. Kendrick dropkicks him outside, where Aries decides he needs a time out. Of course Kendrick cant resist a vaulting cross body block. I can understand them cheering who they want.

It’s the go home show before Bound For Glory which means its their last time to sell the show! And in an interview this week Hulk Hogan completely buried Robert Roode as a credible main eventer by saying he doesn’t think hes the guy, and that Angle should “Carry” him to a good match nonetheless. Way to bury your own main event Hulk.
Speaking of the main event, Kurt Angle, the defending champion is first out tonight and calls out his challenger Robert Roode right away. “Next World Champ” chant. Kurt says he booked the matches the past few weeks to try and break him down. Angle congratulates him for winning them, but reminds him he’s the greatest wrestler ever and he’ll prove it at Bfg. Then he extends a hand. Roode decides not to shake though and takes a mic. Roode...

Impact Wrestling (6th October 2011)
We kick off with a Hulk Hogan video package because he claims that his run is finally over and tonight we allegedly have his retirement ceremony coming up. Imagine ending a long term career like that in Tna. He’s got to be depressed. Not that I’ll ever believe he’s finished for good. Hogan and Bischoff arrive in the parking lot.
Beer Money are on their way out together, despite having to face each other tonight. Storm says its about damn time Hulk Hogan took a back seat and gave the young guys a chance to entertain the fans. Agreed. Storm tells Hogan to have fun trying to follow their match tonight because they plan on tearing this son of a bitch down in Knoxville Tennessee. Roode takes the mic and plugs James as the Tennessee cowboy and welcomes him home. Roode says Fortune...
