Michael Morgan Jr., the cousin of TNA star Matt Morgan, was shot and killed on Monday morning in New Jersey.

Michael Morgan, a 32-year old police detective, was killed outside a nightclub as he was walking a dancer to her car. Morgan and the dancer were held up at gunpoint. The attack, which happened just after 3 a.m., ended with Morgan suffering a fatal gunshot wound to the torso.

Matt Morgan acknowledged the death on his Twitter page on Tuesday.

“Mike Morgan was a highly decorated cop, who was in (the) anti-gang division and Monday was to start SVU. Still can’t believe he got killed. Too young with HUGE career in front of him still.”

“News said he’d gotten out of over 600 ‘guns drawn situations over his career in anti-gang without having to draw his own. That’s insanely impressive.”

According to New Jersey’s NJ.com, police are offering a $25,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the shooter.

As if this news isn’t bad enough, Matt Morgan also tweeted that his father is hospitalized because his brain cancer is “spreading rapidly.”

We wish our sincere condolences to the Morgan family during this very difficult time.

– TNA Wrestling’s official website, ImpactWrestling.com, has been restored after it was hacked twice Sunday evening. Visitors to the site were greeted with a black screen and a message reading “I LOVE YOU MINDY.” The statement was accompanied by a graphic of an eagle drapped in the flag of Algeria.

– Matt Morgan, who trained at Ohio Valley Wrestling while the promotion was affiliated with WWE, commented on TNA Wrestling’s partnership with the league. Morgan tweeted:

“Ecstatic that TNA has new deal in place for OVW to be used as our developmental system. That’s where I trained as a list of who’s who in wrestling today. We are very fortunate to have Danny Davis/OVW/trainers in helping our superstars of tomorrow.”

Company president Dixie Carter added:

“Excited about our new association with OVW. ‘Excellence is not a destination; it’s a continuous journey that never ends’ -Brian Tracy.”

On Twitter, Matt Morgan noted being asked by a fan if Sarita was legitimately stricken with facial paralysis after reading online that it may not be true. “The Blueprint” adamantly says her health issue was legitimate, but only temporary.

“Fan asks me if Sarita “really had partial facial paralysis”, I asked why would he ask this. Answer? He READ IT ONLINE it may be not true! RU serious? Let me clear THAT crap up,” Morgan wrote.

“Not only was Sarita’s face partially TEMPORARILY paralyzed, but fact she STILL didn’t miss a beat makes her one if, if not THE, toughest woman wrestler (or guy) that I’ve ever worked with! That took so much confidence and courage, yet idiots with apparently NO REAL wrestling headlines wanna just print up unfounded fodder? And at a talent who should be commended’s expense? Ugh…”

He continued, “Not a rant. More just defending what I first-hand watched w/MY OWN EYES, my co-worker work through. That’s all.”

The nine-year veteran has resumed appearing without the protective mask in Mexico, but not for TNA. She donned the mask at Sunday’s No Surrender pay-per-view.

“Dr. Lucha” Steve Sims, who has extensively covered lucha libre for several years, stated on recent episodes of the Figure Four Daily podcast that he was very skeptical over her claim of facial paralysis. Figure Four Weekly editor Bryan Alvarez believed her claim to be completely bogus as he went on a rant on the July 27 show questioning why she would continue to wrestle in spite of her apparent condition.

— Matt Morgan participated in a live Facebook Chat with CMT on Thursday following his appearance on the season premiere of Made the previous night. He was notably asked whether WWE has been in contact with him lately.

Morgan replied, “WWE gave me my start and gave me the tools to one day become the wrestler I am today and I am very thankful for my time there. I’d be lying if I said there’s been no contact however as long as TNA remains as loyal as they’ve been to me and continue that loyalty I am very happy where I am at right now.”

— Angelina Love is the featured guest on the latest episode of Pillow Talk with SoCal Val. The TNA Knockout is asked about her workout regime, with Val describing her body as ‘tip top perfect shape’.

“I pretty much only do cardio and legs, but I think one of my best parts that I didn’t pay for would be my abs,” Love replied. She then proceeds to show off her toned stomach to the camera.

To see the video interview, click here.

— Mr. Anderson is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Inside Wrestling.

— Angelina Love was asked today on Twitter who her dream opponent would be and revealed that it is a fellow Canuck.

“Canada vs Canada – Trish Stratus,” Love replied.

The seven-time WWE Women’s Champion has indicated numerous times in recent years that she keeps up with the TNA product, however, she has yet to state whether she would join the promotion. She attended her first TNA live event this past June as it took place near her residence in Toronto, Ontario. She later indicated on Twitter that Mickie James, Tara and Winter slept over at her house.

— Miss Tessmacher stated Tuesday on Twitter that she was shooting a pilot episode for her reality show. Further details were not disclosed.

— “The Blueprint” Matt Morgan guest stars on the premiere episode of CMT Made tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

— Kazarian took a shot at Sin Cara, who was suspended yesterday for 30 days due to a violation of WWE’s Talent Wellness Program.

“The Flux Capacitor is what makes time travel possible,” Kazarian wrote regarding the name of his finisher. “If you STEAL it, you violate the Wellness Policy and get suspended 30 days. Just sayin’.”

— Matt Morgan underwent MRIs on his lower back yesterday. The TNA star has been dealing with spasms of late that have been increasingly painful.

He is expected to receive the results within the next few days.

— Jeremy Borash celebrates his 37th birthday today.

— Abyss is advertised to appear for Pro Wrestling Destination on Saturday, August 20 in Reno, Nevada. Visit www.pwdwrestling.com for event information.

Impact began with Sting coming to the ring for a promo. He talks about how insane he is. He calls out Bischoff and Hogan to come out. Kurt Angle comes out in his clown attire from last week and enters the ring. Angle says that he means no disrespect and says that it was him who saved Sting last week because it was the right thing to do. At Hardcore Justice their paths will cross again. Sting says he respects Angle. Angle says he wants to beat Sting since he never has. It has to be Angle because he has no other choice. Sting says they have a dilemma.

Immortal’s music plays and out comes Ken Anderson and Bully Ray. Ray says it is Sting and Angle versus Anderson and Ray tonight.

In a Bound for Glory Series Match, Rob Van Dam defeated Scott Steiner with a rollup.

Mickie James came out for a promo and called out Velvet Sky. Mickie said she has watched Velvet get blamed for other wrestler’s problems. Mickie knows how it gets and its not good. Mickie wants to give Velvet her first knockouts championship shot tonight because Velvet has earned it and says that they are going to tear the roof off the Impact Zone.

Angelina Love and Winter come out. Angelina says she and Winter are competitors and that Mickie and Velvet just need to go get a hotel room. Angelina says that no matter who wins tonight it won’t be long before the title is back around her waist. Winter insults both Mickie and Velvet for a bit before they go to the back.

Backstage Sarita and Rosita are brawling with Tara and Miss Tessmacher. Madison Rayne brawls with Tara as well until referees have to break it up.

Miss Tessmacher and Tara defeat Rosita and Sarita to become the new Knockouts Tag Champions. Tara and Tessmacher jumped Rosita and Sarita when they came out. Sarita was wrestling this match wearing a mask due to her recent facial injury. Tara had Sarita in the Widow’s Peak and Madison ran out while the ref was distracted and Madison tackled Tara. Tara and Miss Tessmacher were able to hit stereo finishers (Stratusfaction by Tessmacher and fireman’s carry into side slam by Tara) for the three count.

In a Bound for Glory Series Match, Matt Morgan defeats AJ Styles, Gunner, and Samoa Joe to earn 10 points.

They show an Eric Young video package with him going into a gas station looking for an opponent to defend his TV title against. He finds D’Lo Brown. D’Lo tells Eric this is a road Eric doesn’t want to go down. Eric rolls up D’Lo and counts the 3 himself and runs from D’Lo. Young gets away and D’Lo says “he didn’t even recognize me.”

In an X Division title match, Brian Kendrick defeated Alex Shelley Shelley hit sliced bread on Kendrick on the apron. When Shelley put Kendrick back in the ring, Aries ran out and hit Shelley with the title and threw him back in the ring for the fall.

Mexican America comes out for a promo. Anarquia comes out and calls what Tara and Tessmacher did earlier garbage. He says they are pissed off and when they are pissed off they kick ass. They call out Beer Money who enter the building and come face to face with Mexican America. James Storm tells them to do everyone a favor and leave the ring, the company, and go cut grass. Storm threatens to kick Anarquia’s teeth down his throat. Since they have been competing in the Bound for Glory Series, they came out to reintroduce themselves to everyone.

Storm says they are the best, being four time tag team champions. Storm says they aren’t going to just beat them, they’re going to kick their asses for the people here, the people watching, and all the Mexcians that came before Mexican America that they are disgracing. At Hardcore Justice, Beer Money will beat them to retain the tag titles. Storm advises them to mark the day after the pay per view on their calendars because Mexican America is going to wake up with their Green Cards stuck straight up their asses. Roode tells then Sorry About your damn luck.

The Knockouts Title Match between Velvet Sky and Mickie James never got to happen. Angelina Love and Winter attacked Mickie as she entered. Velvet tried to make the save. ODB and Jackie came out and attacked Velvet as Angelina and Winter bailed. Traci Brooks then came out for the save. Referees and security had to separate Traci, Mickie, and Velvet from Jackie and ODB. Cops came out and put handcuffs on Jackie and ODB and took them out of the Impact Zone.

TNA World Champion Sting and Kurt Angle defeated Ken Anderson and Bully Ray when Angle pinned Anderson after an Angle Slam. Ray tried to stop Anderson from doing his usual intro because Ray wants to get in the ring and take care of business. Anderson did it anyway. At one point during the match Bischoff came out and said something on commentary.

After the match, Angle and Sting shook hands and Angle pulled Sting in close before leaving the ring.

Monday Night Mayhem with Scott Steiner
Hosts: The Big Mosh and “The Chairman of the Board” Todd Vincent
Airs every Monday at 6:00 P.M. (CT)
Show available at www.MondayNightMayhem.com.

His feelings on returning to TNA after an eleven-month absence: “Part of the reason was I don’t know why I left. That was not my decision, and obviously they brought me back to bring the ratings back. Now I’m here, and we can go out there and prove that I’m still the best.”

Why he believes Matt Morgan’s collegiate and basketball backgrounds will not help him when “Big Poppa Pump” and “The Blueprint” square off soon: “I tired to look up his (Matt’s) profile on the computer and saw Monmouth College somewhere in the cesspools of New Jersey. I never heard of that. And supposedly Chaminade, where they somehow made it to the NCAA Tournament, where he played a couple of minutes. Fans are going to be deeply disappointed when it comes down to athletic ability, because he says he’s trying to follow in my footsteps. You can’t follow in my footsteps. So he plays with little balls and puts them in the holes. That’s not going to help his ass when he gets in the ring.”

What fans can expect at CWI’s “Brawl at the Bush II” event in Brantford, Ontario, Canada (headlined by his CWI Title defense vs. Kevin Nash and a special appearance by Hulk Hogan): “It’s going to be a great event. There’s going to be a lot of stars there. Of course I have to go against Kevin Nash, which will be a hard-fought match. Hulk Hogan’s going to be there, so anybody who’s a wrestling fan should enjoy the show.

Hardy is expected to return at some point.

— TNA Wrestling’s original creative plans called for AJ Styles to turn babyface to replace the injured Mr. Anderson as Jeff Hardy’s opponent at Turning Point, but they instead went with Matt Morgan.

Some have questioned whether Morgan’s turn will culminate with a finish similar to Kevin Nash lying down for Hulk Hogan during match on a 1999 episode of WCW Monday Nitro, but the belief is that he will be a face going forward.

— TNA Wrestling has canceled live events scheduled for Nov. 19 in Evansville, Indiana and Nov. 20 in Indianapolis, reportedly due to lackluster ticket sales.
