Watched Raw and Impact and I gotta say the top 5 highlights between the shows...

1) Bret beating Vince
2) Stu getting inducted per SCSA
3) The X division tussle
4) Bischoff getting a trim
5) Hmmm.... Legacy going off on their own, although I'd still like to have seen DiBiase go off on his own as a face with his dad getting inducted (well deserved btw).

Other than that TNA was WCW digitally unmastered. Although AJ Styles as a heel is looking like it could actually WORK.

I second that. I think its just crazy now that both are on the same day and time frame. I kinda miss being able to watch both a few days apart, spreads out wrestling you know. And Stone Cold looks healthy for once. He hasn't been in the ring for some time, and I'm not sure how old he is, but if someone were to say he's like 45 or whatever, I'd say he was more like late 30's. Just goes to show you how doing that for a living, how much strain it puts on you. He needs to be the special guest host more often, if they don't do the HBK GM thing.

So apparently Pete Rose is the Guest Host for next week's Raw.

How much you wanna bet Kane shows up and tombstone's him?

HAHA, yeah I thought that too. Or...... maybe Kane shows up, but Rose has body gaurds that beat up on Kane, and then Taker comes out to help out his brother, and then clears out the ring, but Michaels comes from the audience, and sweet chins Taker.

How about Kane meets Rose in the old red black with mask attire?

Yep I taped RAW; got all of it except first minute of Triple H's bout. The action was better than I expected to the point of hating Legacy interrupting to attack Orton. Legacy v. Orton is good angle but I'm praying (as I've posted earlier) that Orton is not turned into a face!

RAW guest GMs I liked on pa with SCSA: Ventura, Shatner and the Osbornes. Back to SC; Right now my #1 favorit SCSA GM moment the "presiding" over the Hart v. McMahon(sp) contract signing--Reminded me the Austin v. McMahon days. Close behind it is Austin standing on the ropes ask for beer.

I was surprised that he didn't get the beer while he was doing his in ring entrance. It only took like 5 minutes after the entrance for him to get his Steveweisers. And how weird is it that they bleept almost everything out, when it's live. I guess they memorize their lyrics.

[slyder]

Rest In Peace to the career of the Heartbreak Kid. I know it eventually had to happen but still sad to see one of the greats on the mic retire. How much longer you think before the Undertaker leaves for good?

Raw should be interesting, hopefully they give HBK the same time Flair got for his goodbyes.

[DecepticonKing86]

Probably. Taker, probably when he hits 20-0.

[Cyber Bishop]

Probably. Taker, probably when he hits 20-0.

That is what I was thinking as well.

[Darth Bombshell]

I think that the WWE brain trust made a huge mistake in releasing that Shawn Michaels carrer retrosepctive DVD set ahead of Wrestlemaina. If they hadn't, I might have believed that he actually had a chance of beating Taker.

[DecepticonKing86]

Shawn was indeed wrestling week after week. He's now 44, it's time. Taker on the other hand probably wrestles 5-10 times a year? He's got less wear and tear. The Attitude era wrestlers are almost all gone.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

I have a feeling Taker will go 20-0. There's not many left with the cred to be able to challenge him for the Streak.

[Friend of Da Panda Symbol]

I think they're going to do what I dread—Orton face— If WWE's creative writing hierarchy find this angle worth pursuing I hope it stops at six months at most nd ends with the viper biting Triple H and I wish somehow Kofi K. gets incorporated in the storyline.
To the very end I thought something would happen to stop Michaels leaving but...What really surprised me his thanking Jesus...at which I start clapping and batting back tears.

I wish Raw & TNA weren't on at the same time, kinda intrigued with the RAW guest GM thing. By the way anyone know who's the next guest GM?

[Venomous Prime]

David Otunga from NXT is the next host. He won some battle royal or something.

I haven't watched WWE since the first time Bret came back. I kept trying to watch but it kept getting worse and worse and boring and more boring.

After this Swagger bullshit, I'm not tuning in again for a long time. The guy is a poor man's Kurt Angle with a tenth of Kurt's in ring ability and ZERO of his entertainment value.

Freaking Jimmy Wang Yang deserves it more than Swagger.

[Cyber Bishop]

He has been a Christian for years. I heard that he was one of the ones that mentored to individuals who had troubles in the locker room.

LMAO!

[Burn]

I kept trying to watch but it kept getting worse and worse and boring and more boring.

That was my reaction when TNA went live on a Monday night
(even though it still got delayed until 10pm Saturday night here)

I don't think they're TRYING to turn Orton face, I think it's just how the fans are reacting to him. He's still his heel self and will turn on someone in a second, but it was Orton -vs- Rhodes/DiBiase which made him the underdog and everyone loves the underdog.

But they do need to get back to the Orton/Kingston feud, that was shaping up quite well and Kofi's character was really starting to stand out but it died way too quickly.

Swagger ... didn't want him to win MITB, expected him to be the first MITB to NOT win the title, so it was a suprise to see him win the title. I've never liked him, and he very much is a Kurt Angle wannabe, but i'm going to give him a chance. Who knows, putting the title on him might actually bring out another more talented side.

Or he could just be the next Khali.

What absoloutely shitted me off this week with WWE was, once again, they screwed over the tag team division. There's lots of teams out there that could make the division stand out, but no, they just had to go and bust up my favourite tag team Cryme Time. They could have kept them together and really pushed the tag team division but no, once again creative decides "oh look, a tag team we have NOTHING to do with, let's break 'em up and push them as single competitors!"

IT NEVER WORKS!

With all the hours of programming they have each week I find it hard to believe they can't spare a few extra minutes to push the tag team division even more. Hey here's an idea, piss NXT and Superstars off and use those hours to push the tag team and women's (I say women's, screw that Diva garbage. Hell "LeCool" is just a pair of "Beautiful People" wannabe's) divisions.

There are? I figured considering they decided to unify the belts (when did that do that, BTW? I don't remember), then give them to ShoMiz (who've had them for...how long, exactly?), the Tag Team scene must have been pretty decimated.

[DecepticonKing86]

I wish Raw & TNA weren't on at the same time, kinda intrigued with the RAW guest GM thing. By the way anyone know who's the next guest GM?

I haven't watched TNA since they switched; well just the first episode. It's completely boring now and they are just like WCW. They have so many old people there now, and it's like there are no TNA originals other than AJ Styles getting a push. Who wants to see a 50yr old nWo team? Who wants to see Ric Flair? Sickens me.

Wah wah wah wah.

WCW Jr this, WCW Jr that. Anderson vs Kurt Angle is a better feud than anything WWE has done in a long time.

The only entertaining thing WWE has done in recent memory is CM Punk's Straight Edge Savior gimmick. I wish I could only watch his segments, but no. I have to put up with the shitstorm WWE calls Smackdown if I want to see it. Raw? Don't even get me started on that borefest.

Oh, and who wants to see a no talent joke like Swagger holding the World Heavyweight Championship? I think I hear crickets while waiting for someone answer me!

Of the entire roster, they really couldn't think of someone to give the belt too? I think they forgot about CM Punk, MVP(seriously, this guy was MEGAover and they dropped the ball with him big time), and hell, The Miz has more star quality than Thwagger.

TNA is an alternative. They offer fast paced matches(like the Kurt Angle vs Anderson ladder match from this week's iMPACT!). Yes, The Wolfpac is there, but you know what? Scott Hall is in pretty good shape and still great on the mic. They are putting over younger people aren't they?

Chapter 13 of DILLIGAF says, there is no room in wrestling for a boring ass wrestler like Jack Swagger.

Yes, I just stole Shannon's line

[Darth Bombshell]

They are putting over younger people aren't they?

Not going by what Nash said tonight, they aren't. But then again, with Hogan and Bischoff in charge, that was pretty much a given, wasn't it?

[DecepticonKing86]

Watched parts of Raw tonight, and yeah Swag has no swag. Randy Orton doesn't know whether to be a heel or face. Diva action is horrible. Sheamus, ha! I just feel the WWW is more polished S. As TNA is just S.

First off, you're taking what a character on TV says as what's going on?

Second off, last time I checked, Eric Young pinned Scott Hall(or Syxx) in the six man cage match and Beer Money beat Nash and Syxx back at Genesis. The only match they have won is the one at Destination X.

REALLY sounds like they aren't doing the job

Yeah, I must be jaded. I mean, we are talking about the same crew that killed WCW, after all.

[Cyberstrike]

TNA has released Christopher Daniels. Good news he's in now in ROH.

[shortround]

The I know the WWE was interested in Christopher Daniels so maybe that is were he will go now, or if were really lucky he won't we can only hope he has more sense than to sign with WWE.

Putting young ones over or not, no ones watching so it's not doing or gonna do much good.

It's pretty sad that a replay of RAW at midnight on a saturday is able to do better ratings than impact.


Some of Tna's stuff is just bad and hard to watch.


With some of the financial things they are starting to face I dont think they will make it to the ten year anniversary.
