Holy crap, I just realized that the entryway looks like kind of like a mini-Nitro (95-00 style) set. Toss in the fact that they're in Atlanta, not the Impact Zone, and I'm feelin' a little nostalgic.

Abyss with the Black Hole Slam on Raven into the glass/tacks. Another solid match, WTF.

I'm sure the 20K people who constitute the core TNA PPV audience are loving it.

I'm glad to hear it, though, they used to put on some good shows.

Even with the cluster****ery, that was a great capper. Multiple Nash run-ins, ref bumps, baseball bat action, and through it all, Sting pulls off the win.

Oh, and Kurt did some sort of ****ing crazy 450 onto Sting at one point.

Great PPV. Not "great for TNA," just great overall.

Let that sink in for a moment. :spock:

That's the sad part. They've whittled down their fanbase/potential fanbase so much over the past year that this outstanding show really does nothing for them, in the grand scheme of things. I'm sure this was another completely pathetic buyrate, which is honestly completely undeserved for once (well, deserved in the sense that the build for it was horrible, I suppose).

There was a long string of PPV in 2005-6 when they were putting on better shows than WWE. Their TV sucked (like it does now...) but they always had great PPV matches. Not sure what happened toward the end of last year and most of this year.

(Wait a second, yes I am).

If they'd shift the focus away from storylines and put the focus back on in-ring action they could pull the rug right out from a struggling WWE.

Giving Joe and Sting wins tonight was a good start. They need to turn Joe back into what he was 18 months ago.

Wow this making tna more exciting to me great matches.

Last night, I actually dreamed that I went back in time by about five years and was waiting to see someone at a bank.

While there, I constantly did MVP's entrance movements, up to the pyro pose, while singing his theme. I was eventually escorted from the building.

In retrospect, this was an awesome ****ing dream.

They did it. They finally did it.

They've killed off the best theme ever.

Just a little info on the Save US 222 promos...

This year's Cyber Sunday is exactly 2 years 2 months and 2 days since Y2J has been on WWE Telivision

He was on the Raw rebound on Smackdown! 10.13.05.

I can't wait!

In a huge surprise, Krissy Vaine and Ryan O'Reilly quit this week. WHO?, you may ask? Vaine was the blonde chick who attacked Torrie on Smackdown several weeks back and was never seen again. What happened was, seriously, O'Reilly and Vaine were dating, she was on Smackdown, he found out he was going to Raw, they couldn't handle being apart on the road, so they both quit. People in WWE were stunned at the stupidity, but also not surprised. Apparently, Vaine has been with the company in developmental for eighteen months and was constantly dating someone in the system. First she was dating Kevin Matthews and the two of them ended up being a real headache for the office, then he got fired (and one source said he had no idea how Matthews even got signed in the first place since he didn't have much in-ring talent and was a horrible promo, plus he had a bad attitude) and she dumped him and started dating O'Reilly. Vince liked O'Reilly because he heard he was an Irish ruffian (seriously) and they brought him up to work some ECW dark matches last fall. He didn't get good reports so he was sent back down to developmental. Krissy was scheduled for a huge push on Smackdown, meaning to the level where she would have gotten a tremendous amount of TV time and be pushed as the top in-ring women's heel.

They'd had plans for her of one sort or another for the past eight months, and Michael Hayes in particular was very high on her since she had a ton of indy experience before coming to the company and he felt she was above and beyond pretty much every other girl on the roster. So she finally got the big debut and then promptly quit. The great irony of this story is that O'Reilly was booked on some Raw house shows completely at random, merely as a way to get him back onto the radar. There were zero plans to send him to Raw or anywhere else for that matter, but when they saw the Raw bookings I guess the lost their minds. It's said the chances of either getting another look in the future are about zero.


It's rather unfortunate because Krissy is really hot but she's apparently every bit as stupid as she's good looking.

Nice, I just got Jericho's autobiography from Amazon.

Uh, Cyber Sunday ain't 2 years, 2 months, and 2 days from then. December 15th, 2007 would be.

The Harry Smith vs Carlito dark match is up on WWE.com:

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/vid...r15-21/5681918

You know, if the Sci-Fi deal breaks down and they have to move ECW to the web exclusively, they should can Heat, move ECW to touring with Raw, and create a WCW brand to tour with Smackdown.

It pisses me off that the best wrestling show on TV is close to dying due to low ratings.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

You can't say "ass" on TNA, but you CAN say "douchebaggery"...? WTF?!

The bleeping on that program is just so random. I halfway expect them to bleep "USA" at this point.

Hooooooooooooly shit, iMPACT! was so retarted i feorgud how spall

The MVP-Matt storyline alone makes Smackdown! worthwhile every week. Those two are amazing, and there's actually character development within this oh-so-trite "ho ho hoooo, tag team champs who hate each other" framework.

Also, I've only read about sixty pages of Jericho's book so far, but it's damn entertaining.

Edit: WHAT IN THE NAME OF HELL HAVE I DONE TO YOU WOMAN TARNATION WHY

They could make an entire episode of Botchamania on these last two matches.

That neckbreaker on Kennedy was laughable.

I gotta go now....1, 2, I hear the clock tickin'

What in the hell is goin' on in here???

You kids still watchin' that 'rasslin???

Brush yer teeth & get ta bed.

This Steve-O show on after Raw....is it just me or did Eric Young rip off Steve-O's voice?

Don't forget the abortion of a promo "hyping up" the Candice-Phoenix match. Awkward!

I'm not sure, but I do know that he ripped off Adam Sessler's look.

A 47 degree angle???

LMAO....ROFL ROFL

I'm only ~20 minutes into this week's ECW, but I have to post two awesome things:

1) THE BEST WRESTLING SHOW ON TELEVISION HAS BEEN RENEWED THROUGH 2008

and

2) "Hey, you forgot your little hat today, tool."

KC gave Burke some legit crowd reaction. I am pleased.

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/napoleonharris

Ah see now that is cool.......
Harris, chosen 23rd in the 2002 NFL Draft, is no fair-weather WWE fan. Citing references to WrestleMania and WrestleMania II during his sit-down conversation with WWE.com, he said one aspect that has captivated him and kept him watching for all these years is the in-ring abilities and athleticism of the Superstars. “It’s fascinating because you think those guys, with their size and ability, they could be the football or basketball players that play in this arena,” Harris said. “I bet with their talents, if they weren’t professional wrestlers they’d be professional athletes in some capacity. I just respect those guys a lot.” But don’t let Harris fool you; it’s not all about the Superstars. “I’m also looking forward to getting up-close and personal with the Divas, too,” he joked.

By the way for the Kennedy/HBK stuff....people were just ripping Kennedy and apparently HBK said that Kennedy sucks and has no idea how to work.

Kennedy seems to be taking a Carlito-esque career trajectory.

Aside from that, I have no idea what you're referring to. But the reports from last week of Vince trying to "put HBK in his place" were bizarre.

Oh, and, "Balls, that is disturbing."

Eh, what's a concussion/broken clavicle among friends?

Also, Sunny's become a feelgood story of "return from cupcakes/drugs burnout," and apparently did something pretty cool this weekend:

WrestleFanFest as a whole, of course, was an utter abortion. I bet it still wasn't as bad as watching iMPACT, though, especially since there was an ROH show at the Cow Palace (home of SuperBrawl 1997!!!!).

A blog post from an attendee (totally worth clicking, if only to see a photo of Ultimo Dragon in a suit):

http://sleepingwithstarbucks.blogspo...fest-2007.html

If you've seen Sunny lately she looks almost like she did as Sunny..

Awesome Kong reminds me of a late 80s Jerry Jarrett/Jerry Lawler creation. LMAO

The only reason I'm sad my Tivo recorded two other shows of a higher priority than iMPACT is because I didn't get my Kong fix.

It's such a shame TNA is so horrible, because they have some really cool people working for them:

http://www.gamespot.com/video/933907...ideoplayerpop?

Matt's crimson mask was horrifying. Jesus.

I would buy a DVD of Jamie Noble freaking out in response to Vickie putting him in matches with big men.

WHAT IN THE NAME OF HELL WOMAN

TARNATION

YOU'RE VIOLATIN' MAH BODY MY PERSON

BABABABABABABAW BAM BATISTA BOMB JAMIE NOBLE SPLATTERED

Well that's what happens when you catch your face on a guys knee brace...

And like I said....guess who's back..

That sunny well hell she does looked good good for her she suffered enough in her life time.

Good move: I slept through almost all of Cyber Sunday because I'd concluded that Jericho wasn't going to show up.

Bad move: I slept through an apparently solid pay-per-view with a great Batista-Undertaker match. Who knew?!

In other news, Elijah Burke still rules.

Mickie James as Poke-a-hot ass

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAW

ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

COSTUMES

Jericho SAVE US from this Diva BS.

Victoria is playing the role of Viscera in tonight's battle royal.

Wasn't it UP who said "When wrestling is great it's awesome, when it's bad it's even better."

This is Wrestlecrap HOF material.

Where is Jericho? Cmon WWE we want Jericho

How many times are they gonna make Orton a bitch to HBK/HHH??

The guy is the champ, and he should be booked as such.

They did this to Cena too during Raw but then he always would win at the PPV.

I don't quite understand it. To me they should make the WWE Champ a badass not someone who always gets their ass kicked.

Nah, dude. Cena was the one who was regularly winning handicap matches as the short man, not losing handicap matches with the help of Umaga.

I don't know everytime I turned on and watched Raw it seemed Cena was getting his ass kicked especially when he was up against Orton

Is it for certain Jericho's coming back tonight? I'd hate to waste my time having to actually watch. :(

The worst was the WM build, where they had Cena and HBK just bury every tag team on the entire roster...I could never understand that.

And how in the hell does Cody Rhodes have the same genetics as Duthhhty Rhosthe?

**** YOU HOLLY WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE CRASH INSTEAD OF YOU

X/29! X/29! YESSSSSS!

Wait, Cody beat someone?

Oh, it's just WGTT. Nevermind. :sulk:

I'm going to have nightmares about Murdoch's attempted stache.

BREAK THE CODE DOOOOOOOOOWN

Aw yeah, back breaking, everybody out their seats!

What, does Foley have another book coming out or something?

I cannot believe that Creative is actually building a storyline through subtlety (the Mickey-Murdoch-Cade thing).

I wonder if Cade will make like his mentor and superkick Murdoch, then chuck him through the window of the Barber Shop...

Hornswoggle for WWE Champion!

Foley's gotta be close to 330. He looks like shit.

WHAT THE **** DID YOU DO TO YOUR FACE LONDON




WHAT THE **** DID YOU DO TO YOUR FACE TREVOR

I'm Rory!! I'm Jobber!!

I'm the one with the hair, I'M JOBBIE

Harry!!!!!!!

Harry Smith looks like a really, really good worker for his age. He's already 10x the worker that Lashley is.

All wrestlers should be required to train in Calgary.

Santino needs to open up the Ass Whip....on SCSA...

Tom Hanks with the AIDS. :clap:

Until you just posted this, I wasn't sure if he actually said that.

UPON US

The WWE needs a Hasidic savage to team with Jamal...

Jew-Maga.

No Jericho?? Boooooo.

Damnit. WWE knows that we know about Jericho, so they're intentionally delaying it. God, I hate this company.

Harry Smith has been training/wrestling for something like 6-7 years so just because he's 22, he's been wrestling longer than several other guys on their roster.
