TNA Hard Justice Card ( Updated)
Following this week's TNA iMPACT!, the following is the updated card for this month's TNA Hard Justice pay-per-view event:

TNA World Championship Six Sides Of Steel Weapons Match
Samoa Joe vs. Booker T

Last Man Standing Match
AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle

TNA Tag Team Championship Match
The Latin American Xchange vs. Beer Money

New Jersey Street Fight
Christian Cage/Rhino vs. Team 3D

TNA X-Division Championship Match
Petey Williams vs. Consequences Creed

Black Tie Brawl N' Chain Match
Jay Lethal vs. Sonjay Dutt

Comments: Well to say the least this card is pretty damn good. All the matches have been superbly put together and I aplaud the TNA managment for this. Everything but the tag team championship match is great, the reason I say this is because LAX hasn't had many matches or done anything to continue their feud, so LAX... sorry but you get a DUD rating.

Overall Card Rating: ****

Other News
WWE has lost the number one spot that they usually dominate in this week's Billboard Recreational Sports DVD chart. The newly released NBA Champions 2007-2008: Boston Celtics DVD has topped Ric Flairs Definitive Collection DVD to take the number one spot. Here is this weeks chart:

1) NBA Champions 2007-2008: Boston Celtics
2) WWE: Nature Boy Ric Flair: The Definitive Collection
3) WWE: The Rock: The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment
4) NHL: Detroit Red Wings: Stanley Cup 2007-2008 Champions
5) MLB: Yankee Stadium: Baseball's Cathedral

Comments: NBA must have really been special to knock WWE from the top spot, but in my opinion WWE will reclaim the top spot soon enough. Bravo to Flair and TheRock for keeping their spots high up in the table.

WWE Raw House Show results, August 1st
The show gets started by Howard Finkel addressing and working the crowd, reminding them to buy SummerSlam on August 17th. He then lets the crowd know they will be involved in tonight's show. Up in the crowd, Jillian Hall (who was hostess for the evening) asks a young fan where WrestleMania was held this year and the fan and his father for answering correctly get ringside seats for the show.

Kofi Kingston d. Paul Burchill (w/Katie Lea) Intercontinental Title Match

Snitsky d. Hacksaw Jim Duggan
(Rather boring match, pretty predictable)

Lance Cade d. Paul London
(Cade did some mic work doing his talk about Chris Jericho)

Mickie James d. Beth Phoenix (Women's Title Match)
(Mickie was accompanied to the ring with another young fan who Jillian had selected from the crowd earlier to be guest manager.)

After this match Santino came down and did some mic work, about how he and Beth could get past the disruption of the kisses the last few weeks on Raw. Something about each of them touching their fists together. Beth remained ringside for Santino's match.

D'Lo Brown d. Santino

(Beth Phoenix carried Santino over her shoulder away from ringside in one the funniest spots of the whole evening)

Jillian once again is in the crowd and selects a young fan to be Guest bell ringer. Jillian then gets in the ring to and as her way to thank the fans for a great evening, she sings for us, which only last a few seconds as Kane's music begins)

Batista d. Kane

(The Fink informs the crowd before the match, by orders of new RAW GM Mike Adamle this will be a Handicap Match)
John Cena d. DiBiase/Rhodes (Handicap Match)

After the match Cryme Tyme hit the ring and Cena hit STFU on DiBiase Jr.

CM Punk d. Chris Jericho (World Heavyweight Title match-No DQ as voted by fans via text vote)

(Before the match, Lance Cade who had accompanied Y2J to the ring, once again works the mic and then gives it to Jericho who works the crowd for a good 5 minutes about HBK and how he (Jericho) has brainwashed the fans.)

Overall a very good show.
