--TNA No Surrender final lineup for tonight

*ODB vs. Awesome Kong falls count anywhere

*Curry Man & Shark Boy & Super Eric vs. Lance Rock & Jimmy Rave & Christy Hemme

*Jay Lethal vs. Sonjay Dutt engagement ring ladder match

*Matt Morgan & Abyss vs. Team 3-D

*Taylor Wilde vs. Angelina Love in a Knockouts title match

*Petey Williams vs. Consequences Creed vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir in an X Division title match

*A.J. Styles vs. Frank Trigg in a three round match that can only end via submission or knockout, billed as an MMA match

*Robert Roode & James Storm vs. Homicide & Hernandez for the tag titles

*Samoa Joe vs. Christian Cage vs. Booker T vs. Kurt Angle for the TNA title

        Booker T was unable to get to the show due to Hurricane Ike closing the Houston airport and the main event will be a three-way.  Both Hernandez and Sheik Abdul Bashir, who also live in the area, came into Canada early and were at last night's house show. 

 

        On paper, this doesn't look like anything special as a lineup, but the crowd in Oshawa, ONT figures to be hotter than most.  James Storm is now believed to have not suffered a concussion, but a windpipe injury.  He was hospitalized, but is expected to work the show as he was in the ring in the afternoon.  Jackie Moore had four teeth knocked out at the house show last night and was not in good spirits.  Trigg is making his pro wrestling debut tonight.  He was said to be a very good student but he's still had minimal training and this is a big stage to be starting out on. 

 

        We'll have live coverage of the show on the site starting at 8 p.m.  

       

        AAA's second biggest show of the year, Verano de Escandalo (SummerSlam) takes place in Guadalajara today headlined by Cibernetico vs. Chessman for the AAA title and Vampiro vs. Mesias in a street fight, as well as a four-way ladder match for the AAA tag titles with Crazy Boy & Ultimo Gladiador vs. Teddy Hart & Jack Evans vs. Joe Lider & Nicho vs. Extreme Tiger & Halloween 

 

        Raw is live from Memphis on Monday night with Chris Jericho vs. C.M. Punk for the World title in a cage match and Rey Mysterio vs. Kane.  There is also a Smackdown house show in Montgomery, AL on Monday night and the Smackdown/ECW tapings are Tuesday in Nashville.  We're looking for reports on all of these shows.

 

          The life and times of Evan Tanner, the most details look at what happened to Ric Flair this past week, early business indicators on the Championship Scramble and UFC 88, a look at the most expensive punch in MMA history, Hulk Hogan's finances, the movie "The Wrestler," the final negotiations of Randy Couture and UFC and the demolition of what was at one point the No. 1 pro wrestling arena in the world are some of the stories in this coming Monday's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.  The issue is available to premium subscribers of the web site today and you can sign up on the site and get one of the bigger news issues of the week.

 

        We look at the life and death of Evan Tanner in a detailed biography, starting from when he was growing up, the strange circumstances of his death, the funny story of how he got into fighting, as well as a look at his life over the past ten years.  We look at his career from the USWF days to the UFC, his title struggle with Rich Franklin and just how close he came to the brass ring of superstardom.  We look at his drifting, drinking, fighting and unique philosophy with a lot of comments he made on all of them in retrospective.

 

        We also look at a television deal that may change the very landscape of pro wrestling.  It got little publicity, and the ramifications got almost none, but it may lead to major changes in the industry as we know it.

        We've got a look at Kurt Angle's DUI case being ended, and Hulk Hogan and his wife's divorce case continuing, with a look at the family financials from court documents.

 

        We look at the reaction from Venice to Toronto to the movie, "The Wrestler," starring Mickey Rourke, including a review, its planned release and its realism and inspirations.

 

        We also have a blow-by-blow of botched spots edited off Raw last week due to it being on tape, WWE developmental news, WWE signing a former WCW star, WWE going to Japan, plus house show reports from the past week.

 

        We also have a look at the NOAH show from Budokan Hall from the weekend with business notes and the finals of the biggest action tournament of the year.
