Although predictable, I enjoyed Daniels vs Cage. I'm really hoping Daniels will move toward the main event in 2007. It seems like that's what they're doing.

At the time when I first saw the character I thought it was slightly amusing (namely due to taking a swipe at the WWE), but as I've gotten older and learned more Jim Ross, I have to agree with Jim Cornette it wasn't funny, it was disgraceful because of Ross' health problems and it shows that Ed Ferrara has no conscience.

I hated it when I was younger for that very reason. My friend and I were rewatching WCW ppv's and came across a couple that involved the feud. I don't know, I found it amusing. They weren't just making fun of his health condition, they were making fun of his over the top excitement for the little things.

I might just be biased because I'm a huge Vampiro fan, but I think it was funny.

I thought it "odd" that Hart's visit & Hulkster's arrival happened same night. God I pray TNA puts Hogan and Foley in a feud involving funny events outside ring antics than matches inside.

MO last 2 Raws have been atrocious. :evil:

Never been much a Hitman fan and Tyson...Why do I think it likely the latter(sp) will appear at this year's Wrestlemania; Hart too for that matter? By popular demand Vince calls the Hitman back but on the "condition" he he has a match with somebody--hopefully not HHH & HBK.

I'm hoping that SCSA takes over Raw sometime this year--I'd record it!

Say bye-bye to the 6 sided ring.

Sad but ture.
This is one of the STUPIDEST things TNA has done. Bischoff and Hogan have just taken away TNA's most iconic signatures.

It's probably because alot of the "new" (read "old wcw'ers") cant adapt to it like most have.

From what I read Hogan and Bischoff wanted a more "tradional" look for the company because most of the wrestlers have adapted well to it in the past. I mean Jeff Hardy, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, and Shannon Moore have all worked in the Six Sided Ring for TNA in the past with no problems. It took no time for guys like Sting, DDP, and Scott Steiner to get used for it.

I forgot some of them have been there before. I wonder if hogan tried running the ropes and he cant adapt so he wants it gone.

Hogan said in an interview somewhere (I think it was IGN) where he said that the chances of him wrestling in TNA are "slim to none".

He may not do an actual match but I bet you he has gotten in there and worked out so to speak.

Who knows, but as you said they lost something that defines them.

So what happens to the "Six Sides of Steel" or any of the other signature matches...

Six Sides of Steel becomes a normal cage match however Lethal Lockdown will need a new roof.
The King of the Mountain and the Ultimate X Matches will still be used (both were used before TNA got a six sided ring).
I can see matches like Full Metal Mayhem, Barbed Wire Massarce and Elevation X can probably be used in a four-sided ring.
The only match I can't see being used in a four sided ring is the Steel Asylem. TNA will have to either rebuild the thing (if it's ever used again after the debacle with it on the live 1/4/10 edition of Impact) or just get rid of it.

So in other words, it's pretty damned likely.

After the concept of Hogan and Bischoff in charge to begin with, I think they can't really get any lower than that. I mean, the brain trust who made that decision had to know they were giving control of their company to the same folks that all but killed WCW, right?

After 10 years of following WCW, TNA, ROH, and WWE, I've quite frankly burned out on pro-wrestling. While I love TNA, my interest in pro-wrestling is at an all time low while other passions and interests that I once had and cooled have been have been rekindled and new ones have been started are taking up my time and energy. Where once I was excited by a PPV and watching Impact I have to remind myself to watch, only to fight off sleepiness, all this combined with my limited income and a huge medical bill I'm currently trying to pay off as made it very hard for me to pay monthly PPVs (from anybody).

Maybe some time and distance will help me rekindle my love and passion for pro-wrestling.

Genesis last night was awesome. AJ and Kurt put on another great match. AJ's heel turn came out of nowhere and it was a welcome surprise. Beer Money vs Waltman/Nash was a pretty decent match. It was good seeing Waltman wrestle again. Dinero and Wolfe had another good match. Abyss vs Mr Anderson was fun, I've always been a huge Kennedy fan, so him in TNA is a welcome surprise. Kendrick vs Red was another good one.

Tara getting the clean sweep over ODB kinda shocked me, but I don't like ODB, so I didn't object. She's not a bad wrestler by any stretch of the imagination, but her gimmick actually disgusts me.

I went to a Smackdown/ECW house show on Sunday. It was actually a really fun show. Taker vs Jericho was supposed to be the main event, but Taker wasn't there so it ended up being Jericho vs Triple H.

Tyler Reks has actually improved quite a bit! I was extremely shocked. Plus, him being a heel breaks up his blandness too. His finisher appeared to be a modified burning hammer.

I haven't been able to catch Raw or iMPACT! (broke, no cable

) for about 4 months, though I did see parts of Bret Hart's return (which is the only thing interesting me about WWE) on YouTube. Could someone give me a quick update of what's happened since? Has he made any more appearances?

News Credits: 226 · Wed Feb 03, 2010 6:11 am

He returned on this week's Raw, went on about how when he made his return he did it with good intentions blah blah blah kick to the gut blah blah blah.

Called Vince out.

More blah blah blah about good intentions.

Vince then tore strips off him. Bret then took down Vince and proceeded to attempt to beat him up before Boretista hit the ring, beat up Vince, then held Bret so Vince could spit in his face.

Really. Oh well. There goes my miniscule support for Batista.

I see it too as well as due to a sequence of events Michael's having another go round with Taker.
Does anyone know who will be the guest on RAW next week?
