I kinda hope him and Deuce come back as a tag team. They both have completely different styles, but I think they'd compliment each other well. Deuce bringing the power game, London bringing the speed.

Speaking of tag teams, time for another random question. Who do you think is the greatest tag team of all time? I really can't narrow it down from these:

Hardy Boys
E&C
Road Warriors/Legion of Doom
Steiner Brothers
Harlem Heat
Dudley Boys

Who are your picks?

[Decatron]

My picks

-Edge and Christian
-L.O.D
-Deuce n' Domino
-Headbangers
-Steve Blackman and Al Snow...what was it? Headcheese?

[Venomous Prime]

I wish the Headbangers would come back. That gimmick would still get over I swear.

[Decatron]

DUDE! awkward...

[Venomous Prime]

I KNOW!! I read that earlier. I was like, well, now I feel like a dick

[Gutter Bunny]

Hardyz
E&C
LOD
The Rockers(nostalgia )

But if i had to pick one, i would probably go with the hardyz...i still mark out when they get a match together

Turning Point prediction time


-Sting vs. A.J. Styles for the TNA Title.
I think Sting will retain. The rest of the MEM will probably interfere.

-Samoa Joe vs. Kevin Nash.
This one could go either way, but I'm going with Nash winning due to outside interference.

-Booker T vs. Christian Cage for the TNA Legends Title.
I think Booker will win and the Instant Classics will be forced to join the MEM.

-Robert Roode and James Storm vs. Motor City Machine Guns for the TNA Tag Titles.
I think the Guns will take the belts. They became glorified jobbers for awhile, but I see them starting a new push.

-Kurt Angle vs. Abyss in a falls count anywhere match.
This one is a toss up. It seems like they are confused on whether to push Abyss or not. I hope Abyss wins, so I'll predict him winning

-Rhino vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir in a grudge match
Rhino, if Bashir wins, we riot!

-Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed vs. Taylor Wilde and Roxxi.
I hope Roxxi and Taylor win. Roxxi is underrated

-X Division Championship seeding match with Sonjay Dutt, Eric Young, Jay Letahal, Consequences Creed, Petey Williams, Jimmy Rave, Homicide, Doug Williams, Tanahashi, and Volador.
I hope Volador or Tanahashi wins, but I think Creed, Petey Williams, or Homicide will win.

Ooh, ooh, I saw an commercial for Redemption Song last Thursday. I don't think my basic cable doesn't include the channel; I will find out.

Gonna date myself in terms of best tag team
#1 New Age Outlaws
#2 The Dudley Boys
#3 The Hart foundation (Brett & Neidhart(sp))

Best Heel Vince McMahon when he was part of IMO greatest wwe feud ever!
Rapidly closing in Randy Orton -- arrogant big brute

Anyone other than me consider Miz & Morrison heels?

If only Booker would drop the accent. The MEM has some awesome entrance music too. Christian vs Booker at Turning Point is going to be amazing

When I first watched TNA couple weeks ago Booker's accent was the one thing I didn't like about it. It's ear bleeding horrible. But (MO) he's as still got his good wrestling style

[Venomous Prime]

Booker T is a legend, of course he's still gonna be good in the ring

Jake the Snake is too...when he's sober

[Gutter Bunny]

fear not my friend: redemption song

Anyone other than me consider Miz & Morrison heels?

of course i do...and yet i can't take Miz seriously.

Someone explain to me why the HELL Rhino is wrestling for the X-Division title.

[Burn]

He's not. It's a non-title match.

Secondly, if you think he shouldn't be wrestling because of his size, there's no size restrictions on the X-Division, you just need to be able to put on fast paced matches.

Ah, alright, I thought I saw it billed as a title match on another site. 411 i think.

But I still don't think he should have anything to do with the X Division. I've followed TNA from the start, since AJ was some preppy idiot with Plumtree as his manager and he and Amazing Red would literally try to kill each other every week to establish what the X Division was 'about'. I didn't even care for Sabin's original run or that abortion Waltman, so you can imagine to what standard I hold the action of the division.

I knew realistically they wouldn't be able to maintain the insane level of spot difficulty they displayed from the start up until the end of the S.E.X. era, and I think I came to terms with the toning down around the Siaki/Desire era, but there are some things that really don't belong in the X Division and huge guys are one of them.

[Venomous Prime]

Saying Rhino is huge is like saying an elephant is small

Rhino's a short guy.

Oh, I know this is pretty pointless. But I have a profile on that WWE Universe thing and I just got insanely excited because Kevin Thorn commented me

I really am a fanboy I guess

Rhino is Animated Lugnut. Exactly.

[Tough Scorponok]

Rhyno? Huge?. I mean the guy is strong, has ability to wrestle, but he would Come Out Short in Comparition to either Goldberg, Battista, Kane, Marcus cor Von, or Taker. Not to Mention Big Show or Khali.Even near Matt Morgan, he looks small.

[Venomous Prime]

Holy **** Turning Point was amazing.

Angle vs Abyss was the best match I've seen in maybe over a year.

The X-Division seeding match was top notch as well. I'm a little bummed Tanahashi or Volador didn't win, but man was that a fun match.

Stlyes vs Sting was, dare I say it? Phenomenal!

**EDIT**

I am so mad, the WWE released Elijah Burke, the man is more talented then 70% of the roster!

[Decatron]

I dug Burke. Well from what little I saw him on ECW anyway. I'll always remember him on Ghosthunters that Halloween night and he freaked.

Anyway is Christian really going back to WWE? Poor guy. I always admired him for leaving even when they wanted to keep him.

[Venomous Prime]

I almost think Christian leaving is a work to be honest.

Plus, Elijah had AMAZING music!

Here again another illustration of how big the gap between my dumping WWE as a whole and taking it up again now. Pardon but why did Christian leave?

FODPS notes from Raw:

Why there's not as much D-Lo brown?

Who else saw Regal was going to win the Intercontinental(sp) belt from a mile?

Dave oh Dave oh Dave...

Copied from Wiki

Departure from WWE

On October 31, 2005, Reso's contract with WWE expired. According to Dave Meltzer, he was asked on the spot to sign a new contract but declined to sign the contract. His last match occurred during the tapings for the November 4 edition of SmackDown!. Despite his quitting, Christian appeared on Raw and at Taboo Tuesday, fulfilling his obligations to the company, as he was one of five SmackDown! superstars eligible to be voted Edge and Chris Masters' opponents by the fans. As WWE had already announced his departure, there were notable chants of 'We want Christian' during the match, despite not being voted into the match.

Contrary to prior rumors, Reso later claimed during his Total Nonstop Action Wrestling debut speech at Genesis that WWE did not lowball him on their contract offer; in fact, supposedly, they offered him "a very hefty sum" to stay. He had made the decision to leave months before his contract expired and had agreed in principle to terms with TNA prior to his departure. In that promo, Reso made several criticisms of WWE, citing the disproportionate amount of screen time allocated to Triple H and the use of distasteful storylines, and claiming that WWE had become, like the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling before it, "old, boring, and lacking direction". In August 2006, WWE challenged Reso's attempts to trademark the name "Captain Charisma", saying that it will cause confusion in the marketplace because the persona was created while Reso was under contract to WWE. WWE feels that anything that Reso called himself in WWE belongs to WWE. As a result, TNA has stopped selling "Captain Charisma" merchandise until the issue was resolved.

From early 2007 onwards, Reso began calling himself the Instant Classic, suggesting that WWE has been ceded the rights to the "Captain Charisma" name. He does, however, continue to be referred to as "Captain Charisma" in off-screen appearances and sometimes wears his "Captain Charisma" entrance jumpsuits to the ring at house shows.

Why there's not as much D-Lo brown?

exactly. I've been down with the Brown since back when he was NOD, and teamed with Mark Henry. God when was that? Like 10 years ago huh.

[Venomous Prime]

Down with the Brown?

For some reason I really want D'Lo to work for UPS so it's extra awesome when they say "what can brown do for you?"

D'Lo is awesome though

[Decatron]

LOL. yeah, they've used that phrase on the shows at one time. I know I didn't come up with that

Anyway, how about that Kizarny? LOL

[Venomous Prime]

Sinn(Kizarny) is really talented!

you can see some of his matches from FCW on youtube and he was in TNA as part of the Disciples of the New Church.
