Hopefully its that he's retiring. The Ultimate Warrior was more entertaining then he is

Come on now. That's low. I agree that he lacks charisma, but Warrior? He was just...ugh. I think WWE is trying to make it look like he's saying he's retiring, but I don't think so. He may move to SmackDown! or come out to challege for the title or something. Raw needs a few fresh faces in the main event. MVP should be one, I think, but we'll see.

[Rodimus Prime]

BreakingPoint was below average. I was just surprised DX did the job especially in Montreal. I was waiting for HBK to put the Sharpshooter on one of Legacy as a way of them and Vince giving the finger to Canada considering what had happened. And the finish of the main event was just pure stupidity. I knew there was no way Taker would submit. And *this* happens. I was disappointed in the outcome of Orton and Cena, even though I kinda saw it coming. Cena is nothing without the belt.

[Hotrod]

Wow Batista's big announcement is he is going to Smackdown for more competition, really, big deal.

[Rodimus Prime]

Yeah. I figured he would. But i was really disappointed with Trish Stratus. She didn't even look attractive. She was too skinny, and I liked her better blonde, though I usually go for brunettes...

[shortround]

The reason dx lost to legacy is to keep the feud going untill survivor series in november when dx will team with three other superstars to meet legacy and two other superstars in survivor series match. The reason Batista went to smackdown is because there really low on what vince consider main-event talent at moment, and as far as Trish Stratus goes I thought she looked pretty good for someone who is not wrestling anymore since she is most likely not lifting weights everyday and I can take or leave the brunette hair but then alot of blondes are going brunette these days just look at some of the ex-disney stars.

I know its a pipe dream, but I'd love for WWE to rehire Sean Waltman, Road Dogg, and Billy Gunn and have a real DX reunion. DX as a stable is wayyy better then DX as a tag team.

Well BG James (aka the Road Dogg) is now a free agent I don't know if he's interested in returning to WWE though. I think he probably would if Vince throws a pile of money his way.

[Rodimus Prime]

Well I think he should be happy if Vince wanted to rehire him at all. I mean, he shouldn't go to work for nickels and dimes, but he can't expect main event money. And yes, DX as a group instead of a tag team would be much more fun. Just think of the shenanigans!

[Venomous Prime]

*Road Dogg walks up to an Asian woman*
Road Dogg: Have you seen Godzilla?!?!

[Rodimus Prime]

Anpparently HHH and Dogg don't get along, an since HHH is basically second in command after Vince, Dogg probably won't get hired by WWE. But whatever happened to Sean Waltman(X-Pac)?

TNA: No Surrender thoughts and predictions:


TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Sting vs. AJ Styles vs. Matt Morgan vs. Kurt Angle (c)

I'm going out on a limb and say Styles or Sting for the win this would set a Sting vs. Styles match for BFG.

"THE BOSS" MAKES HIS PAY-PER-VIEW DEBUT
"The Boss" Bobby Lashley vs. "The War Machine" Rhino

Lashley for the win.

TNA X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Daniels vs. Samoa Joe (c)

Daniels for the win (yeah I know it's a longshot but a guy can hope)

TNA LETHAL LOCKDOWN
Beer Money vs. Team 3D vs. Scott Steiner & Booker T vs. British Invasion

My hope is Beer Money for the win.

TNA KNOCKOUTS CHAMPIONSHIP
ODB vs. Cody Deaner

ODB should...no NEEDS to win this match or all the work all the Knockouts and TNA has put into making the Knockout Division will be wasted. Also get rid Deaner his 15 minutes of fame are up.

FINALS OF THE KNOCKOUTS TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT
The Beautiful People vs. Taylor Wilde & Sarita

Taylor Wilde & Sarlita will win because I don't see Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky as a real great team.

$50,000 BOUNTY VS. THE LEGENDS CHAMPIONSHIP
Abyss vs. Kevin Nash (c)

I predict that Nash will win via DQ when Foley comes down to screw...uh I mean help Abyss (just like Abyss did on Impact) this will probably be used to set up Nash vs. Foley vs. Richards vs. Abyss in a Monster's Ball at BFG.

GRUDGE MATCH
Hernandez vs. Eric Young

EY has really impressed the hell out of me with his recent heel turn, this isn't the "Don't Fire Eric" goofball this Eric Young is a ruthless cold hearted evil bastard.
Hernandez has also come into own as a single compettor and is showing a lot potentional. I think this one can go either way with EY getting the win from World Elite or Hernandez overcoming all the odds.

[Rodimus Prime]

Yeah, I think Morgan and Angle will get into it and they will have a lengthy program. If they do it right.

[Venomous Prime]

Anpparently HHH and Dogg don't get along, an since HHH is basically second in command after Vince, Dogg probably won't get hired by WWE. But whatever happened to Sean Waltman(X-Pac)?

He started a pretty cool stable down in Mexico called Degeneration Mex. I am not joking. I think the members are Rocky Romero, Alex Kozlov, and Waltman.

Anything involving Alex or Waltman(except One Night in Chyna...ew) is almost solid gold anyway.

Sting vs AJ at BFG would be great. I think I'm going to buy that Sting BFG shirt actually.

Never saw it.

And Sting FTW.

[Venomous Prime]

I haven't seen it either, but anything involving Chyna is bound to be disgusting

[Venomous Prime]

No Surrender was freaking awesome!

Velvet and Madison made a better team then I imagined. Its just a shame they didn't win. Taylor and Sarita just look so forced together. They have no chemistry as a tag team.

Hernandez vs Eric Young- Waste of a few minutes really. I would have rather seen an actual match...but whatever I guess...

Joe vs Daniels- Once again proving that Joe and Daniels are two of the best in the world at what they do. Pardon the Jericho line. Was a little bummed that Daniels didn't win, but it was still a great match. I think Tenay needs to get a refresher course in Finishers though, he tried calling the Angel's Wings the Last Rites...big difference in moves really.


D'Angelo Dinero vs Suicide- I don't think awesome or amazing truly describe how good this was. The Pope is extremely underrated and I love Suicide(see sig for further proof ). Was an extremely entertaining match.

ODB vs Cody Deaner-...this one went on to long. ODB should have just obliterated Cody. He is almost like TNA's Santino, except less funny.

Kevin Nash vs Abyss- Pretty good match. I liked it. Nash looked good, Abyss looked good. They clicked pretty well. I am really hoping for a bloody confrontation between Mick and Abyss. I have been praying for it since Mick signed with TNA.

Beer Money & Team 3D vs Booker T, Scott Steiner and The British Invasion- I am a huge fan of most of the men in the match(excluding Team 3D...), so I was pretty excited for this one. It had a lot of great moments and some painful looking ones. That double suplex to Brutus on top of the cage was so brutal. His leg landed on the cage badly. Great match though. Seeing Scott do the Frankensteiner was pretty cool too

Bobby Lashley vs Rhino- Eh, was decent. I wish Rhino would have won though. I like Rhino as a heel. Far more entertaining.

AJ Styles vs Kurt vs Sting vs Matt Morgan vs Hernandez- I am so glad Hernandez cashed it in and DIDN'T win the title. Maybe its just me but he is far from Main Event caliber. Great match though. Kurt and Sting are still two of the best there is. Was a little bummed Sting didn't win, but was ecstatic that AJ won the title.

Now I cannot wait for iMPACT!.

I'm gonna give Raw a shot tonight, but might end up watching the Colts/Dolphins game instead.


**EDIT**
Forgot to add this.
Taz and Tenay are a great team. They are having so much fun with it and we are along for the ride. Its great.

Still holding out for a Matt Striker/Mike Tenay team up one day. The world might implode due to so much wrestling nerdiness in one place

[Hotrod]

I like the fact AJ is champion. I feel they need to have Styles v. Sting for the belt to truely put AJ over. AJ has come a long way and it is good to see TNA back him again. AJ is to TNA what Sting was to WCW.

I would also like to see Daniels get the big belt at least one time in his career he has been another great work horse for TNA.

[Cyberstrike]

TNA No Surrender 2009 was a surprising good PPV. Now while I wouldn't go as far as too call it the best PPV of the year it would easily fit into the top five.

There were a lot a solid and fun matches namely KO Tag Team title match, Pope/Suicide, Lethal Lockdown, Joe/Daniels, and the Main Event, even matches that shouldn't have been good like Nash/Abyss, ODB/Deaner, and Rhino/Lashley were all fun and decent matches to watch, other than the Eric Young/Hernandez which is the weakest match because EY refused to fight so it turned into a waste of time IMHO. The show was a very decent surpise.

My problem with No Surrender 2009 was technical problems when I was watching the show there was a lot of green flashes and sound problems that made Tenay and Taz sound like cartoon characters, by the main event it seemed that TNA just stopped trying to correct the problem and so Tenay, Taz, Broash, and Hernandez (both during the introductions) all sounded like the Chipmunks.

TNA No Surrender 2009 was a damn good show if you can survive the technical problems it's well worth the price of $30 replay and is worth getting the DVD.

I give it a 4 out of 5.

[Venomous Prime]

I don't know how you watched it, but I didn't have any of those technical issues at all...

[Cyberstrike]

I don't know how you watched it, but I didn't have any of those technical issues at all...

I watched it on DirecTV as I have every other TNA PPV in the past 6 years. I never had these problems before.

I know this aint the section for selling things but its the only spot of the forum I know of that wrestling fans post so I thought I'd let you guys know. I have a Replica Undisputed belt that I put up on ebay. I dont know if you guys collect this type of stuff but here is the link if you are interested.

TNA: Bound For Glory 2009 predictions:

TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
"The Icon" Sting vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles (c)

AJ Styles

Kurt Angle vs. "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan

Matt Morgan

SUBMISSION MATCH
"The Boss" Bobby Lashley vs. Samoa Joe

I like Lashley, but I'd rather Joe win. I think Lashley will tohugh

MONSTER'S BALL MATCH
Mick Foley vs. "The Monster" Abyss w/Dr. Stevie as the special guest referee

I think the real winner is going to be the fans. Brutality

ULTIMATE X MATCH FOR THE X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
Suicide vs. D'Angelo Dinero vs. Daniels vs. Homicide vs. The Amazing Red (c)

This is another one where the fans will win. Any of these guys would make a great X Champ, except Homicide. Since the LAX split, I have really turned against both members.

FULL METAL MAYHEM FOR THE TNA AND IWGP WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Team 3D vs. Beer Money vs. British Invasion (IWGP Tag Champs) vs. Scott Steiner & Booker (TNA Tag Champs)

Not going to lie, but I want Brits to retain and Book & Steiner to retain. That, or the Brits win TNA gold and Beer Money gets IWGP

TNA LEGENDS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Hernandez vs. Eric Young vs. Kevin Nash (c)

I can see EY winning this one. If its not EY, then its going to be Nash.

TNA KNOCKOUTS CHAMPIONSHIP
Awesome Kong vs. Tara vs. ODB (c)

Tara

TNA KNOCKOUTS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
The Beautiful People vs. Taylor Wilde & Sarita (c)

The Beautiful People will win and the world will rejoice. I still say Taylor Wilde and Sarita's tag team work is so forced looking. Their double team finisher is pretty sweet though. Sarita always looks like she drop kicks the person's head off

Pre-Show Match
The Motor City Machineguns vs. Lethal Consequences

Guns. Though, I'd rather this be on the show. That's been my only real issue with TNA lately, no Guns.

I have a good feeling this might be one of the best PPVs of the year. There's no way it can be worse then Hell in a Cell or Bragging Rights.

Which brings me to another thing...SERIOUSLY?! Orton and Cena for an HOUR? Are they trying to bore their audience to death??? Are they trying to show how little either man can do? I'm glad the feud is coming to an end, but did it really have to be in an Iron Man match?

Iron Man matches have yielded some of the greatest matches in professional wrestling history. Like Michaels and Bret, like Daniels and Styles(twice), like Angle and Joe, like Angle and Michaels...

Cena and Orton don't have half the talent of one man involved in any of those matches...

[Cyberstrike]

FULL METAL MAYHEM FOR THE TNA AND IWGP WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

Most rumors are saying that Booker T is planning on leaving TNA after BFG to return to WWE, and Steiner is rumored to be retiring soon do to health issues.

TNA KNOCKOUTS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
The Beautiful People vs. Taylor Wilde & Sarita (c)

The Beautiful People will win and the world will rejoice. I still say Taylor Wilde and Sarita's tag team work is so forced looking. Their double team finisher is pretty sweet though. Sarita always looks like she drop kicks the person's head off

While I'm no big fan of Taylor Wilde, I have to disagree with you on the teaming of Sarita and Wilde IMHO the best new team in the Knockouts division. The new Beautiful People of Lacy Von Erich, Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky are the team that feels forced have zero chemistry together while Taylor and Sarita come off to me a very natural team and seem to have a natural chemistry.

Personally while I think TNA did do the right thing by adding the TNA Knockout Tag Team titles, I do think they should have experimented with teaming the various Knockouts together before creating the titles, because other than Awesome Kong & Sareed and The Beautiful People the rest of the teams were often short lived deals for a few shows before the team went their separate ways.

[Venomous Prime]

I think Madison & Velvet are a lot better together then I was originally thinking they'd be. I'm hoping Lacey grows on me though. I loved her dad
