Canada has always been a cornerstone of professional wrestling, from its in-ring legends and new talent to its passionate fans. We expect ‘No Surrender’ to be unforgettable.”

The stars of “TNA iMPACT!” on Spike TV (Thursdays, 9 p.m. ET/PT) will headline “No Surrender 2008,” including TNA World Heavyweight Champion Samoa Joe, Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle, “The Icon” Sting, Booker T, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles, Kevin Nash, “The Instant Classic” Christian Cage, Tomko, Team 3D, Gail Kim, TNA Tag Team Champions The Latin American Xchange, the Motor City Machineguns, Robert Roode, “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal, Awesome Kong, ODB, Curryman, Shark Boy and Eric Young, among others.

Several TNA Wrestling superstars will be making a homecoming in Oshawa. Christian Cage, Gail Kim, Traci Brooks and Robert Roode are among those Ontario natives scheduled for action at “No Surrender.” Tickets for “No Surrender 2008” will go on sale July 25 at all Ticketmaster Canada outlets, online at http://www.ticketmaster.ca and at the General Motors Centre box office.

CBlog XXVIII- No Mercy, RAW and Cyber Sunday By Cassidy Haslett on 8 October 2008 I know it’s been a little while since I’ve done a blog, but I’m back to give my thoughts on No Mercy, RAW, and the upcoming Cyber Sunday pay-per-view on October 26 (which, coincidentally, is CM Punk’s birthday and he is also the featured star on the poster). Let’s start with this past Sunday’s No Mercy [...]   CBlog XXVII- RAW, SmackDown and No Mercy By Cassidy Haslett on 18 September 2008 I did not post a blog last week because I did not feel that RAW was really worth posting a blog about. It was okay, but nothing much to discuss. This week, there is a bit more to discuss and I also wanted to provide my thoughts on SmackDown and the current line-up for No [...]   CBlog XXVI- Thoughts on WWE Unforgiven 2008 By Cassidy Haslett on 9 September 2008 The 10′th WWE Unforgiven in Cleveland was just awesome and worth the $39.95 I paid. Sure, every match was not great, but I look at the overall when I judge a pay-per-view. Here are my thoughts on Unforgiven:   CBlog XXV- WWE RAW, Rey and Unforgiven By Cassidy Haslett on 2 September 2008 RAW was average to me this week. Granted, it may have been better had there not been spoilers on every single wrestling site or in every wrestling email I got after RAW was taped this past Sunday. It was nice to see Randy Orton make an appearance on RAW, even though it would have been [...]   CBlog XXIV- WWE RAW, Unforgiven & Cena?s Injury By Cassidy Haslett on 26 August 2008 Let me start off with the unfortunate news - John Cena has a severely herniated disc in his neck and will require surgery, leaving him out of action, indefinitely. The probability of him making another early return seems very unlikely. With Cena gone from television for who knows how long, I for one will certainly [...]
