Backstage Segment - Matt Hardy/MVP

Michael Cole says that there is a possibility that Matt Hardy will not be able to compete tonight due to an injury suffered in his match on SmackDown. They show images of Hardy's injury and backstage photos of him getting medical attention.

We go backstage to Matt Hardy and MVP. MVP says he knows Hardy is disappointed and that he is disappointed too. MVP says he agrees with the medical professionals not clearing him to compete tonight. MVP says that Hardy is his tag team partner and his friend and he doesn't want him to have any complications from his injury.

MVP says he is ready to go. Matt says well apparently that is what Vickie Guerrero thought too. He says that he heard MVP is still going to be competing tonight. Hardy says that MVP will be competing tonight for the United States Championship against Mark Henry, The Great Khali, or Kane. MVP looks stunned and says he has to go talk to Vickie.

We go to Michael Cole and JBL talking about how much fun Cyber Sunday is. They put over tonight's newly added match between MVP and the choice of either Mark Henry, The Great Khali, or Kane. Cole votes on the air for Kane.

The forthcoming match is for the WWE United States Championship. MVP is out first as he awaits his opponent.

We go back to Todd Grisham who is accompanied by SmackDown's General Manager Vickie Guerrero. We go to a shot of Mark Henry, The Great Khali, and Kane backstage. Kane is announced as MVP's opponent for the United States Championship.

From WWE.COM - SmackDown’s Kane and Mark Henry faced off last Friday, in Henry’s first action since his loss to Undertaker four weeks ago. The Big Red Monster, meanwhile, was coming off his second appearance on ECW on Sci Fi, when the World’s Strongest Man and The Great Khali interrupted his match with Big Daddy V.

Kane defeated the self-proclaimed Silverback with a chokeslam, and the fiery Superstar hopes to carry that momentum when he again invades the Land of the Extreme this Tuesday night. The four behemoths are set to meet in a Monster Mash Battle Royal with each hoping to be named the true monster of sports-entertainment on the eve of Halloween.  [ more]  [photos]

CLASH OF THE TITANS

From WWE.COM - The Big Red Machine made his second straight ECW on Sci Fi appearance Tuesday night when he took on one of the participants in the race for an ECW Title opportunity against CM Punk – Big Daddy V.

The two monsters met in the ring last week when Kane and Punk faced Daddy, The Miz & John Morrison in a 3-on-2 Handicap Match. Kane and Big Daddy V’s altercation certainly foreshadowed a contest of colossal proportions for this week; however, no one was able to see the climax of their clash. During the match, Mark Henry marched out to the squared circle in an attempt to shake the Land of the Extreme even more than his fellow fiery SmackDown Superstar has. The crowd of three in the ring quickly became a party of four when The Great Khali joined the other giants. Kane was the man left standing, but this was only the beginning. [video][photos][more]

From WWE.COM -
After invading the Land of the Extreme earlier in the week, Kane returned to Friday Night SmackDown to face The Great Khali. Wasting little time, The Punjab Giant gave the Big Red Monster a not-so-warm welcome back, getting disqualified for using a cable to try and decimate Kane. As Kane recovered from the attack by Khali, ECW’s Big Daddy V made his way to the ring, looking for retribution against the Big Red Monster for his involvement as CM Punk’s partner on ECW on Sci Fi. The Dominating Force in WWE laid waste to Kane, and made it known that the working partnership between SmackDown’s Acting GM Vickie Guerrero and ECW’s man in charge, Armando Estrada, has opened the gates for his personal path of destruction. [ vid]  [photos]

From WWE.COM - The Land of the Extreme was stunned when Kane appeared last Tuesday as the tag team partner of ECW Champion CM Punk.  Earlier in the day, WWE.com announced Vickie Guerrero and Armando Estrada were negotiating a deal enabling Superstars from both brands to appear on both shows. The Big Red Monster’s presence as CM Punk’s handpicked partner against the ECW Title Cyber Sunday candidates, Big Daddy V, The Miz and John Morrison, could have been a sign that this deal is sealed.

SmackDown’s monster ignited the evening, turning Morrison and The Miz against each other, sealing the victory for his team with a devastating chokeslam on the self-proclaimed "chick magnet."   [vid]   [photos]

From WWE.COM - WWE Tag Team Champions Matt Hardy & MVP shook hands and agreed to get on the same page before they stepped into the ring with the Brothers of Destruction, The Undertaker & Kane. But once they faced the fires of hell in their non-title match, both Hardy and MVP had very different ideas about what being on the same page meant.

Despite the fact the brothers haven't worked together in over a year, Kane & Undertaker didn't miss a beat, handily defeating Matt Hardy & MVP.  [Read the full story . . .]

From WWE.COM - Kane was also on the winning track this week, dominating the self-proclaimed “Future Hall of Famer” Kenny Dykstra. Even the presence of his girlfriend, Victoria, outside the ring couldn’t help poor Dykstra, whose recent hard luck continued when he succumbed to a vicious chokeslam.

Moments after the match ended, our fans saw Vickie Guerrero make a blockbuster tag team match for next week, pitting MVP & Matt Hardy against Kane & The Undertaker.

The WWE also had a Mobile-on AT&T exclusive interview with the Brother's of Destruction   [mobileatt]

FOR LOVE OF KANE

02OCT2007: From The Fairborn Daily Herald - Jacobs was available at the signing Monday beginning at 5 p.m. at the University Shoppes Cricket Wireless Store. When 5 p.m. hit, the fans, who had lined up around the building piled into the small shop and swamped the little desk with photos, magazines and even steel chairs for the wrestler to sign with his mark."  [more]

9/11 - 9/13 SummerSlam Tour in Spain
Madrid, Valencia & Barcelona
KANE took on Mark Henry in Madrid and Valencia, taking a win via DQ:

Mark Henry is impressive to see live. Crowd booed him big time. Kane’s out next. He was born in Madrid, so he was way over. The match had Kane try and slam Mark Henry several times, but he could never get it done. In the end, The Big Red Machine hits the Turnbuckle Clothesline and a huge Bodyslam, but before he could put Henry away with the Chokeslam, The World’s Strongest Man hit a Low Blow and the referee DQ’ed him. Kane then stopper Henry from nailing him with a steel chair and finally hit the Chokeslam.

WINNER: Kane (DQ)

I hated the finish but the crowd didn’t really complain. Kane posed around for a while and left.

9/30 Hammond, IN
Hammond Civic Center
Kane pinned Finlay. Finlay spent the majority of the first 5 minutes jawing at practically every fan sitting at ringside, while Kane meandered around the ring. (Finlay carried his shillelagh, but nobody had the heart to tell him Purdue owns that thing after whooping up on the Irish Saturday afternoon.) The fans were riled up when the Irishman picked a fight with a huge fan that could rival Mark Henry size-wise.

After a while, the match finally hit the ring with Kane getting off a quick offense of punching. They spilled outside the ring where Kane slammed Finlay into the ring apron and guard railing. Finlay reversed a Kane whip into the ring post that sent the Big Red Machine flailing into the ring steps, injuring Kane's left knee. The match got back into the ring, where the man 'who loves to fight', worked over Kane's knee the majority of the match. A lot of 'you suck' chants came from all corners of the hallowed building (smattered with some 'Go Kane Go! chants), which eventually built Kane up to hit a couple of clotheslines in the corner. After a side slam, Kane scaled the ropes and hit his flying clothesline, knocking out Finlay to the delight of the fans.

Hornswaggle puttered to the ring to try and attack Kane from behind, but the big guy turned around and saw the former Cruiserweight champion. Hornswaggle begged off in a way to make the 'Nature Boy' proud, then Kane dropped to his knees to make the fight a little fair. He still towered over McMahon's bastard son by a head. Hornswoggle McMahon trys and fails to chokeslam Kane. Hornswaggle tried to make peace by putting his green derby on Kane's head. Kane stood up and kicked Hornswaggle away, then Finlay miraculously recovered and hit Kane with his shillelagh in the bad knee. After a quick two count, Kane popped up (still wearing the derby, mind you) and got mad. Between Hornswaggle and Finlay, each would try to distract the referee, but Kane eventually hit Finlay with a chokeslam for the win. Kane teased tossing the hat to the fans, then just kept it on, limping back to the curtain. Finlay stuck around to kick Hornswaggle in the boiler. The little guy popped Finlay in the 'lower abdominal area' (as Gorilla Monsoon would say), and scurried off.

Note: Some of the wrestlers were there pretty early. Ricky the Dragon Steamboat signed a lot of autographs for us as did Kane. (credit: wrestlingobserver)
