We're nearly halfway through the year and TNA's most recent ppv, Sacrifice, is done and dusted. How did it shape up?
We also look at TNA's main event scene, currently led by Bobby Roode. Who else should be in the top tier?
Paul Heyman returned to RAW last week, to announce that Brock Lesnar had quit. We bring you our thoughts on the return of one of wrestling's best mouthpieces.
All this and more in this week's edition of Gimme Five. Write Comment (0 comments) |

WWE Superstar John Cena guest stars in an episode of Psych airing next month on the BOX.
The comedy-drama series stars James Roday as Shawn Spencer, a man with highly-trained powers
of observation who poses as a psychic to help solve crimes for the Santa
Barbara Police Department.
Cena plays Ewan O’Hara, brother of show-regular Detective
Juliet O’Hara and a former soldier with Department of Defence security
clearance.
The synopsis for Cena’s episode, entitled “You Can’t Handle
This Episode”, reads:
When Shawn deduces that a US Army Private who was found
hanged was the victim of foul play, Juliet calls in her brother Ewan to help
them get on the Army base. Unfortunately, Shawn comes into conflict with Juliet
over his hunch that Ewan is somehow more deeply involved with the murder. |

Good day or good night, whenever you are reading from. My name is Blake
Leitch and it is your honour to be receiving my pearls of wisdom in this
edition of 'Superstar to Watch'! Every month, I will be discussing and
dissecting a wrestler of WWE to give you the wrestling world's best opinion for
the top athlete to watch in the coming months. If you have not endeavoured in
this explanation, I would excuse you for excusing yourself to easier exertions;
like entertaining eggs. I won't bother holding the suspense; it's a waste of my precious time. The
'Superstar to Watch' for May 2012 is in fact not one, but two stars in Darren
Young and Titus O’Neil! A spectacular pick for this edition of StW if I do say
so myself, and I do. So why are these incredible performers the pick of the month?
Delve further and let me educate you. Write Comment (0 comments) |

After being without his title for much of the night, Bobby
Roode was reunited with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship when he sent Rob
Van Dam crashing from the top of a ladder to retain his title in the main event
of TNA Sacrifice yesterday.
Van Dam provided perhaps the toughest test for Bobby Roode
since the leader of the selfish generation became world champion, taking the
fight to Roode from the opening bell of their match.
Within minutes Van Dam had Roode positioned over a
guard-rail outside the ring, and leapt off the apron with a modified legdrop.
RVD kept in control of the match even when Bobby Roode picked up a ladder –
kicking the steel back at Roode’s face with a baseball slide that prevented
Roode from getting back in the ring.
Roode eventually managed to set the ladder up in the corner
though, after giving RVD a taste of the steel, and tried to suplex Van Dam onto
the steel rungs RVD was the man who would suplex Roode onto the ladder though,
and followed up with a springboard moonsault to Roode. |

This week on Impact Wrestling everyone was gearing up for Sacrifice and the match card for the upcoming pay-per-view was on the line in the main event.
The show began, like so many sadly do, with Bobby Roode's music blaring as the champ entered the ring to let everyone in the Impact Zone know he didn't feel any need to prove himself after last week's demolition of Mr Anderson, Jeffy Hardy and Rob van Dam. And in 14 days' time, he will become the longest-reigning world heavyweight champion in the history of the company.
Well, his most recent victims heard their names and in turn RVD, Mr Anderson and Jeffy Hardy stormed the ring to get some revenge against him – and each other. Once officials had calmed things down, the Hulkster arrived with a very interesting proposal: a four-corners main event in which everyone had something to win, and something to lose. |

Following on from John Laurinaitis’ announcement on Raw that both Chris Jericho and Randy
Orton had been added to the World Heavyweight Championship match at Over the Limit, SmackDown began with a Raw rematch, pitting Orton and Sheamus against Del Rio and Jericho.
The match didn’t last for long though, when all four men
began to brawl in the ring, forcing the referee to rule the bout a “no contest”.
Randy Orton went after Alberto Del Rio, clotheslining the
Mexican aristocrat over the security barrier and into the crowd. Sheamus,
meanwhile, sent Chris Jericho over the top rope and out of the ring with a
clothesline of his own while referees flooded the ringside area to try and calm
all four men down. |

The backstage attacks continued on NXT, and at Regal’s request John Laurinaitis hired extra security to keep order on the show. But, much to Regals’ chagrin, the security was revealed to be the troublesome twosome he’d fired only weeks before, Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks. |
