Wrestling Star Jeff Hardy Knocked Out Cold After Scary Fall From Cage

<iframe src="//cdnapisec.kaltura.com/p/591531/sp/59153100/embedIframeJs/uiconf_id/6740162/partner_id/591531?iframeembed=true&playerId=kaltura_player_1413478522&entry_id=0_4dimo1nz" width="664" height="421" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozAllowFullScreen frameborder="0" style="width: 664px; height: 421px;"></iframe>

Impact Wrestling star Jeff Hardy was KO'ed in frightening fashion Friday night in New York ... and TMZ has learned the very painful looking fall left him pretty banged up.

The famous wrestler climbed to the top of a cage during a match at the Manhattan Center ... but when he was knocked off by an opponent -- sources say the fall didn't go as planned.

We're told Jeff was supposed to land on the ground -- instead, he hit the steel steps and was knocked out cold. Hardy eventually regained consciousness ... but was left in a lot of pain.

After the match, Hardy got checked out by doctors for IMPACT -- which now airs on Destination America -- plus he's made an appointment this week to get his head scanned by a specialist.

Why is the ring-post outside of the cage to begin with?

Anyone see John Cena's tweet regarding HHH being inducted into a sports hall of fame? He congratulated him and all that.

My question is, why the hell would he do that on Twitter? Before I go on, I know it's "entertainment" and I use that word very loosely, but my god, it has completely disconnected me from the biggest story lines that they have. HHH just fired Cena's "friends" and 3 days later he congratulated him on Twitter?

Maybe I'm just being a little picky, however, I think it's a big no no.

According to Pro Wrestling Insider, the spot involving Jeff Hardy supposedly knocking himself out was a planned spot and not some botch or accident. TNA wanted to write him out because of their upcoming UK tour.

The spot was completely planned and is Hardy's storyline injury exit from the company as he cannot travel to the UK tour due to his 2009 drug conviction as it prevents him from entering that country. The "injury" is TNA's way to explain why he won't be on the multiple weeks of TV that will be taped next month in Great Britain.

If that was the intention, couldn't they have just done multiple chair shots to the knee to write him off? It would have accomplished the same thing and not be pants on head retarded.

i don't know why they need an injury angle anyway he does not have a belt, just tell the brits he can't come.

There's no money to be made like that. You have someone take him out, and you'll have a hot program (theoretically) when he returns.

Then again, knowing TNA, I'm kind of surprised they didn't go with your suggestion.

I was really hoping the time out of commission and the new branding and channel and reboot would go a long way toward letting them catch their breath and come out strong and much better put together than they were in the end of the Spike TV era, where I could understand them doing crazy shit in the hopes of trying to convince the to keep them on or hope something catches fire.

But from reading spoilers, it looks like it's just a different coat of paint on a shithouse.

Can blame Dixie and management for that. Several interviews she gave leading up to the new channel and the first set of tapings made it clear they didn't bother to change anything during the downtime.

Then again, this is the same group that decided keeping Vince Russo was worth more than a happy Spike TV, the extra weeks of tv Spike was still promising them, and Spike still willing to keep a new tv deal on the table.

Hey, it got them attention. But they really could have used The Revolution (the group led by James Storm) to put Hardy out. Have Matt Hardy call out James Storm in The UK, and have Storm win that match and then they put Matt out too. Build to The Hardys getting some revenge against James Storm & Abyss.

A lot of TNA doesn't sound too bad at the moment. Heel Eric Young actually sounds kind of intriguing. I'm not sure I like Samoa Joe and Low Ki turning however. I'd have just kicked off Impact on Destination with Low Ki beating Homicide or something. Have the loss get under Homicide's head, and he attacks Low Ki after Ki's next defense of the title, triggering a proper feud.

According to PWInsider.com, “fired” WWE stars Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan are all expected to be brought back to WWE TV in time for the Royal Rumble.

As of now, the three talents are not backstage at Raw tonight and will not be used on the show.

However, it is expected that something will happen with the three next week on Raw, potentially them “sitting in the crowd” for the show, or some type of invasion angle will take place, which will result in all three men being brought back to WWE.

I posted a picture of Dolph Ziggler on Instagram last night saying I hoped that 2015 was his year. Some guy got on and made a few comments, and pretty much called me a dickhead, because 'Don't I know he's fired?'. I didn't know where to go with it so didn't say much, in case he was joking, but thankfully a couple of other followers stepped in and called him out on it. I've deleted a lot of the comments now though, they were starting to get a bit personal.

:(

Former ECW talent Jason Knight has been diagnosed with advanced throat cancer. The 51-year old made the announcement on his Facebook page Monday afternoon.

Knight is best remembered as the manager of Justin Credible and the Impact Players in ECW, where he had multiple stints. He won the ECW World Television title in August 1994, a championship he would hold for almost three months.

In addition to working for ECW from 1993 through 1999, Knight also made appearances for WWE and TNA at different points in his career. He was a part of the ECW One Night Stand reunion events as well.

Knight posted "UGH!!! Looks like throat cancer, and advanced. The battle really starts now," on his Facebook page Monday and was immediately flooded with well wishers.

8 WCW. (7 if you don't count the official switch from NWA/WCW as a title victory)

That's 21 times the heavyweight champion of the World! Woooooooo! He also has a disputed NWA reign that can count as his 10th. There is no logical outcome where you can get 16. It's just 16 because they say it all the time. It's 17 not even including his two reigns in the WWE.

22 times the Heavyweight champion of the world!

Also if the WCW International Title doesn't count than none of Cena's reigns count when he was 1/2 of the WWE's two world champions. Which means he is only a one-time champion.

Dirtsheets:

The IZOD Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey is shutting down, according to a report at NorthJersey.com. The venue was scheduled to host SummerSlam 2015.

An official from Governor Christie’s administration said all events scheduled past March 31 would not take place at Izod Center, including WWE SummerSlam on August 23rd ...

WWE will likely look to Madison Square Garden in New York City and the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey as potential hosts for SummerSlam.

Daniel Bryan will be facing Kane this Monday night on Raw in Dallas, Texas. That is the Raw Reunion special. The stipulation is that if Bryan loses then he will be removed from the Royal Rumble. I noted a couple of days ago that Bryan was not on the new Royal Rumble poster that was released this week so there may be something to this.

WWE announced during Tuesday's Main Event Live that next week's show will be preempted on WWE Network for a Royal Rumble lottery special hosted by Santino Marella. Prowrestling.net has learned the reason for the preemption is that WWE is unable to air Main Event on WWE Network in the UK due to their current contract with Sky Sports.

SmackDown is moving to Wednesday at 8pm on SN360 starting January 14th. Don't miss any of the action!
Only affects Canada at the moment.

Some other sheet news include today being the launch for the WWE Immortals mobile game and RAW managed to go up slightly in terms of viewers compared to last week. Also the official reasons why the Elimination Chamber got moved was due to both traveling costs and new arena designs now limit where they can safely hang the cell in the air.

It was reported a while back that WWE officials were contemplating doing a John Cena vs. Rusev feud for WrestleMania 31. The idea at that time was to have Rusev cost Cena his chance at recapturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

As of right now, WWE is advertising a tag-team main event of John Cena and Randy Orton vs. Rusev and Seth Rollins for the live event in Madison Square Garden on February 27th. Some view this as a possible sign that WWE is going forward with their original plans for Cena vs. Rusev at WrestleMania.

Thus far, there has been no interaction between Cena and Rusev that would indicate that match being booked. Some are of the opinion that Cena and Rusev is simply a live event program for WrestleMania season, possibly because Brock Lesnar doesn't work non-televised events.
Could even have the possibility of a double run-in with Orton since Rollins-Orton has been teased as a Mania match.

WWE Tough Enough Officially Returning

http://17r1l63fshd52dy9yakdizhkog.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Tough-Enough-645x370.jpg

According to Pwinsider.com, a new season of Tough Enough will be coming to the USA Network. USA Network President President Chris McCumber just announced at The Critics Association Winter Press Tour event in Los Angeles today. Details are limited at this time, but the show will reportedly feature a new format as well as elements that would make the show live and interactive. There was talk last year of the series being revived for the WWE Network before those planned stalled.

Wrestlers such as Maven, Nidia, Matt Morgan, Ivelisse Velez, TNA star Kenny King, The Miz, Ryback, John Morrison, Chris Nowinski, TNA announcer Josh Mathews, Jackie Gayda-Haas, and current WWE Diva Cameron all appeared on the series.

Dirtsheets:

As noted, TNA and Lucha Underground have ran advertising on WWE RAW broadcasts in recent weeks. Destination America purchased the ads for Impact Wrestling this week. They bought on DirecTV and as many cable companies as they could. They could not buy national ads directly from the USA Network. Lucha Underground only bought ads on DirecTV.

Konnan recently mentioned on his podcast that WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has been in negotiations to announce for El Rey and AAA's Lucha Underground promotion. Konnan said he didn't know if Ross would do a three-man team with Matt Striker and Vampiro or if they would rotate the three. We noted at the first of the year how Lucha was interested in hiring JR for a full-time role and they begin filming the new series soon. AAA also wants Ross to announce their English language pay-per-view events.

While AJ Lee is scheduled to return to WWE live events during Royal Rumble weekend this month, there was a plan to bring her back on the first RAW of 2015. WWE wanted to bring her back with a surprise return on the January 5th RAW but it was nixed due to her neck injury.

The new WWE Network deal that Rogers has finalized with Bell Canada begins on January 15th and will definitely increase Network subscriptions as Bell customers have been heavily requesting it. The Rogers launch of the WWE Network was seen as a success and the Bell launch will likely be as successful.
Just to clarify, the new deal is for more of the current tv channel type and not them getting the US type version.

WrestleMania 31 in Santa Clara, California may see the doors to Levi's Stadium open as early as 1:30pm local time. Part of the reason for that is WWE looking to combat the other afternoon indie wrestling events in the year. WWE is really planning to lock down venues in the city of Dallas in 2016 for WrestleMania 32 as they've been trying to keep the indie promotions piggy-backing on WrestleMania away

It doesn't appear WWE Main Event will be back on the network for several months.

Sources close to the situation indicate the contract issue between WWE and Sky Sports doesn't at this time look like it will be resolved any time soon, so until the network has geoblocking put in, where Main Event could air in the rest of the world but not in the U.K. market, it contractually is not able to air on the WWE Network.

The current time frame appears to be late summer or early fall for geoblocking to be put into place and the expectation would be that Main Event would return to the WWE Network at that time.

The show will continue to be taped due to international broadcast commitments but it would have no television home in the United States, but will remain available on Hulu.
WWE really messed up with how they handled the Network in the UK and pissing off Sky Sports. The reason why Main Event was a Network only show was because nobody else was interested in carrying it once Ion TV dropped out.

USA Network President Chris McCumber announced eariler today that the USA Network will be bringing back Tough Enough.

The show will have live elements and interactive element.

The plan is to start filming after WrestleMania and the format will be wrestlers under contract to WWE, but not yet having appeared on television.

Some other sheet news include Dave Meltzer debunked almost all the stories Hogan told on the recent podcast with Jericho. Recomended to skip to the podcast unless you wanted a laugh at the BS Hogan was saying.

Dirtsheets:

There are rumors that Solomon Crowe will finally make his WWE NXT TV debut at next month's Takeover event. Crowe working dark matches has become a running joke among the NXT regulars at Full Sail University.

Now it seems that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is falling a bit out of love with the team. According to Daily Wrestling News, Vince told JBL to bury The Ascension on the announce desk when they messed up their campy promo a few weeks back. He has apparently been told to bury them a bit since. Many see this as a bad sign for the team’s future, but WWE is apparently not done with them yet.

It first came about when Sting’s job at WrestleMania 31 was the topic of discussion. Vince McMahon wants the Undertaker to wrestle Sting, but Triple H is in favor of himself wrestling Sting at WrestleMania. This was the first instance that the WWE fans heard of their disagreements.

Now, it’s starting to involve other members of the WWE creative staff. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Triple H and Vince McMahon are beginning to act like they are the only people who write the shows. “Word is that some of the WWE writers feel they are once again being left in the dark on certain parts of the booking. Triple H and Vince McMahon have been meeting a lot with just the two of them to discuss creative.”

This is becoming a trend lately, because the Observer also reports that McMahon wants to stop pushing the Ascension, but Triple H strongly disagrees. Simultaneously, Triple H is concerned about the long term, while McMahon is focused on the market and money at the current moment. WWE fans always complain about how the WWE doesn’t do long-term booking.

WWE has added Kevin Nash back to Monday's RAW Reunion special from Dallas. Nash was pulled from the event after WWE suspended his Legends deal following the domestic incident with his son in December. As noted, Nash's deal was reinstated this week when the charges were dropped.
Also X-Pac was recently announced to be among the Legends/Past Stars showing up.

Former WWE stars Vito Lograsso (Big Vito) and Evan Singleton (Adam Mercer in developmental) have filed a class-action “concussion lawsuit” against WWE in the state of Pennsylvania. They are being represented by the same lawyer as former WWE star Billy Jack Haynes, who also has a lawsuit out against WWE.

The complaints from Haynes and Lograsso/Singleton appear to be virtually identical except for short paragraphs about the complainants.

Singleton’s complaint mentions wrestling WWE Superstar Erick Rowan in developmental as Singleton claims, “After approximately 15 matches, during which he sustained multiple traumas, he suffered a serious head injury during a match with Eric Rowen [sic]. The WWE cleared him to continue wrestling after inadequate rest time and downplayed his injury.”

Singleton was apparently out of action for five months after a match against Rowan. He then worked one more match and was released from his developmental deal. Singleton has suffered from a number of severe neurological symptoms and later found out that he had bleeding in the left hemisphere of his brain.

Lograsso noted that he “suffers from serious neurological damage, including severe headaches, memory loss, depression and anxiety, as well as deafness.”

Right now the plan is for ROH to book only 2-3 wrestlers from New Japan Pro Wrestling for the Toronto ROH shows in May.

Originally, the plan was to bring in the 8 or more wrestlers like last year which was ROH booker Delirious (Hunter Johnston)'s intent but ROH COO Joe Koff is uneasy about spending that level of money in 2015 on New Japan talent. Last year the company barely broke even on the 2 shows. Johnston believes the partnership can be very lucrative in the long-term and has pitched airing the shows as pay-per-views to recoup the money of bringing in an elite crew like in 2014, but that would disrupt the plan to do the Best in the World June pay-per-view. Gilleland doesn't believe it's worth disrupting their PPV calendar which they are just now establishing and taking on more risk.

Other sheet news include rumors of the WWE considering doing another brand split with Bryan to be Smackdown's top star and Reigns/Cena as RAW's.

I'm not into The Ascension, really. Feel sorry for those guys, but I feel Konnor worked best as being surprisingly over in the NXT vacuum, and Viktor worked best as a singles guy. At this point in time, I'd rather see The Usos develop a rivalry with Kidd & Cesaro in time for WrestleMania. Then, after Mania, call up Sami Zayn & Adrian Neville as a tag team to work against Kidd & Cesaro, and have The Usos face a heel New Day.

If you want to keep The Ascension main roster, maybe have them become hired goons for someone like Barrett. Have them worship him bad-assery, and stand in his corner looking menacing. Put them over in squash matches on Superstars and Main Event. Maybe they can put over The New Day just in time for their heel turn?

I guess they felt they needed more PIZAZZ (read: pizza) and gave them the paint/spiked armor stuff. Personally, Victor should have just kept the contacts he wore, those were nifty. Had a pair similar to those years ago and they hurt like fook after about 30 minutes, probably why he doesn't continue with them I guess.

Either way, they seem fresh and should get some steam. Other than a weak finisher, they are pretty good. Their finisher is a leg sweep with a faux lariat :|

The best thing about The Ascension was always their glowing hand entrance back with Kenneth Cameron or whatever his name was.

I'm just not digging the Ascension's "gimmick". Like, I didn't follow NXT religiously or anything, but weren't they originally the typical dark, gothic, gloomy kinda team, with lots of theatrics 'n'stuff?

Coz I'm really not liking them being the generic "big man/face paint/gimmicky spikey costume" types, who keep comparing themselves to the Road Warriors, Demolition etc.

On the menu for tonight's dinner, Leftover Dirtsheets:

WWE's current plan is for Bo Dallas to make his return in the 30-man Royal Rumble main event later this month.

It was announced on November 3rd that Bo suffered a foot injury and would be out of action for 6-8 weeks.

On a related note, there's a rumor going around NXT that Kalisto may be getting called up to the main roster soon.
May or may not be related to the recent news about Rey Mysterio likely done with WWE after Mania.

International wrestler and former WWE champion, 'The Great Khali' has hinted at promoting the WWE style of wrestling in India.

A close associate of the wrestler said the Uttarakhand CM Harish Rawat asked him to hold a wrestling show at Dehradun for promoting the national games 2018.

Khali, who hails from this district, held a joint press conference with Rawat Monday evening. International shooter Jaispal rana also accompanied the duo.

Interacting with Hindustan Times, Khali said his wrestling academy would be functional at Jalandhar in Punjab soon in which a group of wrestlers would be prepared. He said trained wrestlers of India and even foreign countries may be a part of the first show.

Khali added that a WWE coach was arriving in India to impart training to probable wrestlers. "Other state governments should also introduce a sports policy like Uttarakhand" he added.

There's also been a heavy push within WWE for Diamond Dallas Page to be a surprise entrant in the Rumble this year and he's expected to be in the match.
Spoiler tag used since it covers a possible surprise Rumble entrant this year and is a big name.

Like I said before, if they're going to do the generic "big man/face paint/gimmicky spikey costume" types, they need names more menacing than Konnor and Viktor.

Also, they would do good to rip off the Decapitation Elbow. It looks better than the Fall of Man, and it's based on what they do, not how the guy takes it.

I don't even mind the names Connor and Viktor. It just seems like they're big, bad monsterous guys, with dark, gothic gimmicks, they growl and grunt and they're gonna kill whoever's in the ring, and then they get on the mic and they compare themselves to the Road Warriors. It makes them sound like high-school drama teens.

Vastardikai

01-20-2015, 11:44 AM

I put it like this. You're in the back of an office, doing whatever. A coworker comes in and says "Some dude named Konnor is here saying you owe his boss money." You'd come out expecting a guy who looks like, at worst, a bro.

Same situation, but a coworker comes in and says "Some dude named Ax is here saying you owe his boss money." You're not going to come out at all.

They shouldn't have mentioned the Road Warriors at all. Whoever told them to do that should be fired. However, if they absolutely HAD to mention them you could do it as a way of "Road Warriors were the toughest team of their time. But this is our time. And if you thought they were bad... you ain't seen nothing yet!"

SlickyTrickyDamon

01-20-2015, 11:46 AM

It all depends on how you say the name. Bryon Saxton was able to say KONNOR with it sounding bad ass. Shut up about his fucking name.

Rammsteinmad

01-20-2015, 12:56 PM

They also have fucking badass music! Their music is the kinda music that should randomly interrupt people like it did on Raw, and the instant reaction is that "holy shit, someone's gonna get fucked up".

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/AXZ6NyTNtS4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Instead their fucking awesomely badass theme hits, they come out looking like jacked up monsters ready to totally annihilate whoever's in the ring with absolutely no nonsense, and their attire is totally like some Egyptian-God-Worshipping cult who's gonna fucking rip you apart all in the name of Anubis or something crazy.

And then it's like "... we're the best team ever!!!".

Just another one of those examples where WWE completely and utterly baffles. Ascension were the most dominant team in NXT since the beginning, yet they appear on Raw and some genius in the back has totally decided to go a different direction with them than what got them over.

01-20-2015, 01:34 PM

They should change their names to Rip & Shred. That might make them more palatable to Vas.

Not sure if it counts as irony but WWE stocks came very close to closing out the day on the low, low price of 9.99.

The same price the WWE has been touting as an amazing valve for the WWE Network and ridiculing people who pay more for their own ppvs.

According to NeoGAF, today was a year-low for the stocks.

The feud was meant to make a star (and could have easily made two, but Vince was oblivious the crowd's reactions to Hardy the Lesser.).

And it worked. It actually did more for Edge than them putting him over Benoit, Kane, and Shawn Michaels did.

If anyone is interested, WWE recently gave the Bleacher Report an inside look at Creative with Bryan's Road to Mania storyline as the feature piece given.

Does have some usual WWE BS/fluff at certain points like how they were always completely behind Bryan or implying Bastista winning the Rumble was never really about pushing Batista. Even has a small dig at Punk implying he was the roadblock to Triple H vs Bryan at Mania.

Spanning more than eight months, Daniel Bryan's struggle to the top and ultimate triumph is one of the greatest storylines in WWE history. And it was one that almost didn't happen, rescued from the abyss by chance, circumstance and, most of all, the fans.

WWE granted Bleacher Report unprecedented access into its normally closed world, detailing how a story like this makes it from the writer's room to the board room and finally into the ring.
