To those who have wondered why Dreamer no longers posts on the ECW site.... Well this is the appaent reason.

Tommy Dreamer got a ton of real heat over his website comments concerning ECW, and how he was fed up about it and would get in trouble if he said what he was really thinking. He claimed it was pure storyline but nobody believed him on that. He's now not allowed to write anything else on the site.

Normally I don't post imterviews... But since its Paul Heyman I'll let it slide this was an interview with the SUN in the UK and this is pretty muh a summary.

The following are highlights from a Paul Heyman interview with The Sun in the UK:

The Return of ECW: "ECW wasn't meant to be as big as it is right now. This was going to come back as an Internet-only show. It was going to be this tiny little spin-off, almost like a boutique promotion to satisfy the niche. Then as we started going down that path, the enormous response to the rumours that ECW was coming back opened the floodgates. All of a sudden we heard there was network television interest and worldwide syndicated television interest in this. People in Japan, Italy, Germany, Australia, South Africa and the UK were saying they wanted it on their TVs. We realized it was a lot bigger than we thought and instead of this Internet-only show, ECW was going to be a prime time cable network television program."

Responding to Old ECW Fans Who Don't Like the New ECW Product: "The bottom line is ECW is going to move forward with this audience or without, with Paul Heyman or without and with Rob Van Dam or without. If the audience likes certain things it's in their best interest to let everybody know. And if the audience don't like something they should also be very vocal about it. But being vocal sitting on your couch doesn't help! You have to be there and say: "Hey, I don't like this direction. It sucks. I want it to change." You have to be in the game to win the game. And if the audience wants ECW to go in a certain direction you can't just sit at home and bitch about it. You've got to step up and let your feelings be known. Because it's going to move forward with us or without us."

WWE Stars Headlining in ECW: "Yes, Big Show vs. Undertaker could have been a match on Raw or Smackdown - but again this is a different concept. A lot of people forget some of the main events we had in ECW. One of our most popular matches was Terry Funk & Arn Anderson against Sabu & Bobby Eaton. Arn and Bobby were wrestling in WCW and you could say the same thing about Terry Funk as you could about The Undertaker or Ric Flair, he had wrestled all over the world. The only newcomer in that match was Sabu."

The ECW Creative Process: "In this company the buck stops with Vince McMahon. You could have one person pitching to Vince or 100 people pitching to Vince? it all stops with him. So it's not how many people are pitching - it all depends on what is the best pitch. I don't mind if I'm putting my ideas up against 50 other people, because I understand the audience better than anybody else so my pitches should be better than all of theirs. And if they're not then we'll go in that other direction. The way things work with ECW is that I have a staff, but I am the person responsible for presenting the ideas - whether they're mine or not - in a concise form to Vince McMahon. Then we discuss the show and take it from there."

The SciFi Channel Debut Episode: "We were all disappointed with how the first TV show went. But that was to be expected going in. We were taking a concept that revolutionized the entire industry in the 1990s and had achieved the status of urban myth. Now you're bringing ECW fast-forward into 2006, with only two shows since its collapse at the beginning of 2001 and the rebirth in June 2006. So that's five and a half years with only two shows and not enough time for anyone to adjust to the new concepts and direction of ECW. This is beyond the old expressions of "growing pains" or "a work in progress", this was a dramatically different concept. Of course coming out of the gate we were going to stumble on that first night, because even those with a clear vision of it had so much baggage attached it makes things very difficult. Any other television show would take a year just to put a pilot on the air. And we went from being an Internet concept to a big television show in under two months. So we lacked that time to adjust."

Credibility of the ECW Title: "If you look at the history of the original ECW and all the people who came in to challenge for the ECW world title, it's a very impressive list. It includes people like Steve Austin and Rey Mysterio. And now you have guys like Ric Flair and The Undertaker vying to be the ECW world champion - and coming up short. When was the last time The Undertaker got laid out by a champion, came back for a match and didn't win the title? When was the last time Ric Flair got his punk card pulled by a champion and then came up short chasing the belt. That puts enormous credibility on Big Show as our champion and the title itself. Because you've not only got superstars like CM Punk, Rob Van Dam, Kurt Angle, Sabu, The Sandman, Tommy Dreamer and Shannon Moore trying to become the ECW champion - but also legends with multiple world title reigns behind them."

Future PPV Plans: "The four big interpromotional PPVs each year - Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series - will include ECW matches and we are scheduling ECW-standalone PPVs as we speak."

As far as the actual ECW show tonight.... It was pretty good and we learned that CM Punk will debut next week (Finally!!!!!) Also Kurt Angle will make his return next week.... Punk is "addicted " to wrestling and Angle is a wrestling machine put 2 and 2 together and you have to potential for one of the best matches ever.... I'm not exaggerating.

Knox and Test beating up on Sandman its a good idea... Have the two new guys team up and go against Dreamer and Sandman two ECW originals.

Vampire Dude made his debut and they did a good job of hiding his lack of in-ring talent by putting him in with a banged up Little Guido.

And the main event... Pretty much what I expected, Kane in ECW makes sense it just does and it was a pretty good match, while letting allowing Show to retain the title and hopefully (as soon as next week) have him wrestle Sabu for the ECW title, after RVD should come back and have Show and Van Dam start (or is it continue a feud?)

So all in all a good show and before I forget that Tarot-Card lady has some nice chesticles.

I wanna know what exactly can be insinuated about liver problems that would keep these guys off the road? Thats 1/3rd of the usual CrapDown'ers that are gone. Also, Matt Hardy had a trace amount of stuff from his bout there with Hep C, and after Taker went apeshit over Orton, Sr. on that Hep scare, guess Vince isn't screwin around with actual infections that could kill or seriously hurt his talent.

Again, Vince protects his assests more than your Grandma protects her fine china. Someone has something wrong with them that could hurt them long term, or hurt someone else, it's a Grade 5 emergency to Vinnie, no matter what it is.

Here's next week's ECW on Sci Fi preview:

The Wrestling Machine will be in the house when ECW on Sci Fi returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City Tuesday night.

Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle will be in action, although his opponent is still unknown. Last time Angle stepped foot in Hammerstein Ballroom, he was victorious over RAW's Randy Orton at ECW One Night Stand. Who will step up to challenge the Wrestling Machine this time?

Last week, Paul Heyman denied Sabu's request for an ECW World Championship match and ordered him to leave. Instead, Sabu came to the ring after Big Show's victory over Kane to bash the ECW Champion over the head with a chair. Will Paul Heyman have anything to say about the Death-Defying Maniac's actions?

Also, CM Punk will finally make his ECW on Sci Fi debut. Will the straight-edge Extremist walk out of NYC with his first victory?

Find out all this and more Tuesday night at 10/9 CT on Sci Fi.

Sabu vs. Big Show with a new ECW champion crowned sounds like a perfect response to me. I'll have my report card for tonight's show up tommorow night hopefully, as it's getting a bit too late for me to really analyze it now. RVD should be off suspension in time for the 8/8 edition of ECW on Sci-Fi, which will mean the complete ECW roster will be back on active duty real soon.

Here are my reviews for the Sabu vs 2 Cold Scorpio, Mikey Whipreck vs Sandman, Rey Mysterio vs Psicosis, The Pitbulls vs Raven & Stevie Richards matches on the Rise & Fall of ECW dvd.

1.The Pitbulls vs Raven & Stevie Richards in a Two out of Three falls Dog Collar match for the ECW Tag Team Championship.
A great match to start off the selection of matches on Disk 2. Most of the sick spots in this match involved tables. My favourite parts from the match include Raven piledriving Pitbull #2 through a table and The Pitbulls Superbombing Steven Richards through a table. The original Dudley Boys (Sign Guy Dudley, Dudley Dudley, Dances With Dudley, and Big Dick Dudley) were involved in this match. Tommy Dreamer pinned Raven in this match. But after that, Bill Alfonso got involved and Tod Gordon came out to restart the match. The Pitbulls won to become the new ECW Tag Team Champions. After the match, 911 chokeslammed Bill Alfonso.
2.Rey Mysterio vs Psicosis in a Two out of Three falls match
Extreme Lucha Libre at it's best. This was an excellent high flying match. This and the Mexican Death Match are the greatest matches between Rey & Psicosis in ECW. Psicosis won at the end.
3.Mikey Whipreck vs The Sandman in a Ladder match for the ECW Heavyweight Championship
The Sandman came out with Woman (Chris Benoit's wife). And then Mikey Whipreck came out. But before the match could start, Steve Austin came out and talked trash to Sandman, Whipreck, and Woman. Steve Austin's ECW promos were funny. My favourites were the ones were Steve dresses up like Hulk Hogan and the one where Steve Austin makes fun of WCW Monday Nitro by calling it Monday Nyquil. During the match there was this one part where Sandman used the Ladder like a tetter totter on Whipreck. Whipreck won at the end to become the new ECW Heavyweight Champion and everybody from the locker room comes out to congradulate him. This match was good but it would'ive been better is it lasted longer.
4.2 Cold Scorpio vs Sabu
2 Cold Scorpio is one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time. He was never used to his full potential in WCW & WWE. His biggest success was in ECW where he held the Television Championship 4 times and the Tag Team Championship 2 times. In my opinion, Scorpio should'ive been ECW Heavyweight Champion. This was a great techinical match with good high flying spots. I liked the part where Sabu put Scorpio through a table. The match ended in a draw.

Well, ECW was good. But, I didn't really like the main event. Although it was a good match wrestling wise, it just didn't get me because I knew who was gonna win in the end anyways. Hell, everyone should've knew the outcome of the match before it began. But, moving on...

Nice to see Balls Mahoney in action this week. Big change from the same old, same old we've recently been seeing.

On a final note, it's good to hear that CM Punk will be debuting next week. I can't wait to see this man wrestle. I've overheard how good this guy is, and I wanna see how good he is for myself.

PS: Speaking of debuts, when's Shannon Moore supposed to debut? Anyone know?

And now for something different (at least from me):

Outlaw88 Reviews Barely Legal!

As some of you probably have noticed I rarely do a review, mainly because I'm not very good at it. But since this is my first time watching this PPV I figured I would give it a shot. Sorry if it sucks but hey I gave you fair warning.
On to the PPV with Styles opening it up only to be interupted by the Dudleys.

ECW Tag Title match
The Dudleys (c) vs. The Eliminators

Holy Crap what an opening match! Both teams did a fantastic job. I am a bit unfamiliar with the Eliminators, though I knew who Perry Saturn was I didn't know the other guy Kronus (?). They pulled a ton oh high flying stuff and impressed the hell out of me. Shame Saturn's run in WCW and WWE were so horrid.

Winners and new champs : The Eliminators
after the match that annoying announcer dude with the bow tie got beat up. yay!
wow with an opener like that I can't wait to see whats next

Chris Candio(R.I.P.) promo: he basicly says he's pissed that he is hurt and wants to be a part of the first ever ECW PPV.

RVD vs. Lance Storm
LOL at Storms haircut!!!!!!! I've seen this match on the RVD DVD I have and it's a damn good one. Lots of great spots and back and forth action. A very very fun match to watch, these guys are flying all over the ring hitting some kickass moves.

Winner: RVD
After the match RVD cuts a promo saying ho pissed he was that he was not originally on the PPV to begin with. He hints that he is worth more elsewhere.

International Six-Man Tag Match
Great Sasuke, Gran Hamada, & Masato Yakushiji vs. Terry Boy, Dick Togo, & Taka Michinoku
Hey isn't the team with Taka on it most of Keienti? This team all come out with Bwo shirts. I'm not familiar with the other team. Wow this match is fast paced as hell. I've always been a fan of Japanese wrestling and this is just further proff as to why. Tons of sweet moves and counters. Taka hit Sasuke in the face with a roundhouse kick. Chuck Norris would be proud. I can't do this match justice, damn. They were doing moves so fast at time sit was hard to keep up. Japanese wrestling at it's best. Was this before or after Taka was in WWE? I noticed that they didn't actually tag guys in all the time so it was a bit hard to figure out who was the legal man at some points. But I figured that whoever was in the ring was the guy.

Winners: Sasuke, Hamada and Yakushiji

Stevie Richards promo: Kinda hard to hear but was effective none the less. And people wonder why I keep saying how wwe is not using Stevie to his fullest potential. On a side note I have a question for Avie if he can answer it. What happened to Stevie's voice? He has a very clear voice on this dvd and in past footage, but today his voice is raspy as hell. Is this a result from when his neck almost got broken?

ECW TV Title Match
Shane Douglas (c) w/ Francine vs. Pitbull # 2
Quite a difference of pace. Lots of brawling and some weapon use. Pitbull#2 was taking a lot of punishment for a lot of this match. Candido gets involved as does Francine. A good match from a story point, but since the matches before it were so fast paced with lots of spots and counters this one seemed to drag in places. I'm not the only one who had this thought as the crowd chanted "boring" at times. Shane pulled out some nice moves here as did Pitbull #2.

Winner and still champ: Shane Douglas
After the match Shane gets beat up by Rick Rude(!) and Brian Lee. I never knew Rick Rude was in ECW,

Raven promo: I'm a big fan of Raven's work. Again the sound was not the best in the world but it was still damn good. He talked on how he didn't care who won because he would still be teh champ when all was through. Quote the Raven: Nevermore!

Taz w/ Bill Alfonso vs. Sabu
This should be good. And indeed it is. Some great mat work by Taz to start, followed up by insane leaps and moves from Sabu, that got them brawling amung the crowd. Holy crap this match rules. Both these guys worked their asses off. Neither guy was in control for long, this match was back and forth for most of it with Taz showing off his technical skills while Sabu showed off his insane arsenal. A few Tazplexes and a Tazmission later and this one is done.

Winner: Taz

After the match Taz and Sabu shake hands but then RVD comes out and he and Sabu beat up Taz. Bill Alfonso then turns on Taz and joins Sabu and RVD.

3-Way Dance # 1 contender match
Stevie Richards (Big Stevie Cool) vs. Sandman vs. Terry Funk
I've seen this match from the Bloodsport DVD. One hell of a match. These guys did a fantastic job in there as all three men took loads of punishment. This is elimination style so the match does not stop with the first pin-fall. Both Funk and Sandman double-teamed Stevie a lot and as a result he was the first man out, followed by Sandman. However the first pin took place well into it so they had plenty of time to do their thing. If you have not seen this match you really should. This is again further proof that WWE is underutalizing Richards.

Winner: Terry Funk

ECW World Title Match
Raven (c) vs. Terry Funk
The stipulation for this match was that the winner would immidiatly face Raven for the ECW title. And Raven made little time in getting on Funk. The match seemed all but lost for Terry until Dreamer (who was doing commentary for both these matches) couldn't take anymore and helped his idol out.

Winner and new ECW World Champion: Terry Funk

My overall thoughts and reactions: Since I had only seen two...er.. two and 1/2 of these matches this was new to me. The audio could have been better at times but that was only a small detail. Despite the fact that this is an older ppv it still beats the crapout of what we have been getting as of late from wwe. From what I remember from the Rise and Fall DVD was that the power went out not olng after the ppv was done.

As far as my favorite match... Really hard to pick honestly. Top to bottom this show's card was excellent. The only one that sticks out as one I didn't like as much had to be teh Douglas match. Not that it was bad, but because all the other matches before it had a much faster and different pace this one seemed far too slow.

Letter Grade for Barely Legal: A+++
No question here. Now if they could have a ECW PPV like that in the near future they will have it made!

I'll try and answer Outlaw's question before we do the report card schtick: I'm really not sure. It's possible, but I think this may be a situation where Stevie is being told to use a certain voice, and/or deliver his promos a certain way here. Tod Gordon has said publicly he felt Stevie was the next Shawn Michaels. I believe the Michinoku pro-match was BEFORE Taka joined the WWE, as this PPV bowed before WWE decided to counter WCW's Cruiser division.

Good review Outlaw. You want to know why Kaientai D-X (that's what they were called in Michinoku Pro when TAKA & Funaki joined) came out wearing bWo shirts? They were wrestling as bWo Japan. A parody of New Japan Pro Wrestling's nWo Japan. That Kaientai D-X match happened before they went to WWE. It's a shame that WWE stereotyped them and used them as comedy jobbers. Shiryu (Kaz Hayashi) was the only Kaientai D-X member that didn't go to WWE. He went to WCW. And like what WWE did to Kaientai D-X, WCW stereotyped him and that was one of the main reasons why WCW got sued for racial discrimination. I haven't seen it but many people consider Barely Legal as one of the greatest ppvs of all time. What Kaientai D-X match do you like better? The Michinoku Pro 10-man tag that I posted on Page 474? Or the Six-man tag from Barely Legal?

"Hardcore Report Card" By Professor of the Extreme, avie.

Welcome once again to another edition of the Professor's "Hardcore report card". This week we cover the ECW on Sci-Fi television program, which scored a 2.4 by the way, saw the Bashams working as Paul E.'s security force (yep, that's whose under those helmets), and a couple of storylines advance. Sit down, pay attention, you just might learn something.

Mike Knox promo: Missed this segment as it was part of the five minutes of show that didn't tape for me, I'm sure it was probably an F- effort, but hey, at least Kelly's Expose is over. Grade: incomplete

Mike Knox vs. Sandman: Even with the bad fucking music, Sandman still has a great entrance, and the fans love it. That was about the best thing I could say about this "match". The work going in was absolutely godawful again, and I was wondering why in the fuck they wouldn't put extreme rules on this bad boy...then Test came out and my question was answered. Grade: D-, it avoids F status because the match must be viewed in context of what it was trying to accomplish.

Test and Knox in the back: Test tells Knox they're going to be dominant, they're going to be unstoppable, they're going to shoot steroids into each other's asses like nobody's business! (I'm making that part up, but I want to get the Test and steroid jokes in now). Tommy Dreamer comes by and beats the shit out of both of them, saving an otherwise crappy segment for me, also appearing to set up a Dreamer/Sandman vs. Test/Knox feud. That's probably the best way to use all four of these guys right now, especially considering ECW will probably get no more then two matches at SS I figure. Grade: B, Test and Knox were good with what they needed to say, and I'm a mark for a Dreamer beatdown.

Paul Heyman segment: I have a friend who's a fellow hardcore ECW follower that isn't liking "crazy Paul E." but I am. I love Paul E. promos, and I kind of like the unpredictable, almost tweener character he's got going now, as it seems to be opening the door to new story possibilities for the brand. I also must applaud WWE for having Paul E. expertly get what Sabu was asking him about across without making Sabu speak. That showed tremendous respect for his character. I also like how Paul E. played paranoid against Guido, it served to give off a bit of a "no face is safe from Paul E.". Plus it helped protect Guido for his next match. Grade: A

CM Punk promo: Not one of the better one's, just informing us he's going to debut next week. Not really even worth giving a grade to. Grade: Pass

Fertig (With Ariel) vs. Guido:

Ariel is dirty hot. ECW probably has some of the hottest broads right now. As for Fertig, I thought he looked good in this squash. Of course, he was fighting a guy who was supposed to be practically unconcious before he got out there, so hard for him NOT to look good. I kind of like the vampire gimmick, but I'm begging them to as quickly as possible make it clear he's not a real vampire to keep it from entering the land of hokey. They wanted to establish Fertig this week, and I think they got the job done, he did some nice spots, and came off well to me. Guido was also protected because it was established he was beaten before the match began. Grade: A-

Kane video package: You know...this whole thing backfired on WWE I think...at least from where this fan is sitting. I'm not saying the video package was bad, it was excellent, WWE production is some of the slickest around. No, where it backfired for me is I think they made Kane, the challenger, look like he belonged in ECW MORE then the champion, Big Show. I wonder if after he drops the belt we can trade with RAW? Grade: A

Shannon Moore: These goddamn things are getting old quick...talk or get the fuck in the ring and work. Grade: F

Balls vs. Justin: I'm glad they're pushing Balls, he deserves it...you know who else deserves a push? Justin Credible! These two had a very solid little wrestling match, but the fans obviously want Balls to be allowed to be a "hardcore chair swinging freak". Hopefully WWE will listen and make sure that guys like Balls who are identifiable by weapon use are given more ability to incorporate that into their act on the TV shows. I like that they managed to give the fans what they wanted (Balls using a chair) to lay Justin out, but then didn't have Justin eat a loss with the DQ finish. I know people think that that sort of thing is blasphemy or bad booking, but I think it's smart since a lot of the ECW guys are still being established, and you don't want anyone identified as a "loser" or jobber. Good match, and I think the booking made sense here. Hitting the ref was also good, because I certainly wanted to see that after the call. Grade: B+

Big Show and Paul E. segment: Ok, I know Show is a heel...but a monster champ shouldn't be whining and bitching. He shouldn't have been practically crying Sunday either. Just my opinion. Grade: B

Big Show vs. Kane, ECW title: Thank God we're back to the belt being defended under extreme rules this week. It should ALWAYS be defended this way, because it is the EXTREME world title. It should be different from the other belts. That being said, Show and Kane tore it the hell up, and had a great bout with a lot of good use of plunder, and some pretty wicked spots. My only gripe with the match is that once again, I think Kane came off as being more "ECW" then Big Show did. Whether that's by design or just an accident, I don't know. It looked like Kane was being somewhat protected here, perhaps he's in line for a sizeable push? Anyway, really good match, not wild about the finish, but they made up for that by having Sabu attack Show and setting up a storyline there. Overall, this was a beautiful piece of work from where I sit. Grade: A+

Show Grade: A-

Brand Grades:

Storyline development: We seem to have a main event program now between two ECW guys...yay!!! Hopefully that can carry us to Summerslam at least. Also got two storylines which would have produced two rotten singles matches combined into a tag team feud, which if Dreamer and Sandman are allowed to brawl and use weapons, could be saved from the fact that they're working with stiffs. Grade: A-

Character and talent development: Fertig looked good, as did everybody else, even in a loss. Grade: A

Belt development: Will give a pass for now.

As it turned out (if you all haven't already found out), Super Crazy could not compete in his scheduled Cruiserweight match with Gregory Helms because, guess what, he too has health issues with his liver. That's 3 so far (Lashley, Khali, and Crazy), how many more will develop liver issues.

Mmm...I am starting to think that those who have "liver issues" were protected at GAB. I strongly doubt that they were all sick at GAB since they looked fine on SD! which was 2 days before the PPV. I think that Lashley is on the way of being pushed to ME level, the reason why the company did not want him to lose in the triple threat match since it would have damaged some of his monster gimmick. As for Khali, of course he did not want to lose in his own game. More importantly, Taker refused to job to him twice in a row cleanly, that was why Khali was protected.

But it isn't right that some of them had been advertised to be on the show and ended up getting pulled. Even if they plan on doing something else with Lashly if he was fine they should have let him work.

LK- I think I enjoyed the match from Barely Legal more but the one you posted was fun to watch as well.

Can you believe what happened on ECW two days ago? OMFG I HATE PAUL HEYMAN NOW. What's his problem anyways? Seriously. Kane had it won. DEFINITELY. But that fucker Paul Heyman pulled the referee out i mean OMG. I'd rather have Kane as champion than the Big Show. He may defend his title. But when he was against the Undertaker he had help from The Great Khali. And two days ago when he faced Kane. Paul Heyman stopped the referee. It may have been Extreme Rules but the Paul Heyman thing was uncalled for.

Good; TWO heels makes it harder for the face to win. Sorry, but I'm just not too big on heels.

Awwwwwww. Congrats.

As for the diva search... I honestly don't care about it. Not to say the women aren't hot (really hot) but it irks me that they will spent this much money on a diva whom will have no in-ring expreience and will be put into some kind of match anyway (just wait it always happens) when they could spend that money on actual women wrestlers who could do something. Way to prioritize wwe!

Becaue it's all about the hottness.

Maybe he is being extra paranoid since Eddies Death?

Well, if he is, he's got a very good reason, then. I'd be paranoid, too.

Your profile says that ECW sucks..... And WWE rules.

Now from what i've heard, correct me if im wrong, but the WWE owns ECW. So... That would make ECW a WWE show. So ECW rules..

Maybe he doesn't quite know that, yet.

Ah, the twins return. I remember the last time I saw them was when they told JBL to shove it as his "Secretaries of Defense", getting tired of taking the fall constantly.


You can be in Paris. You can be in a Hilton. Just don't be in Paris Hilton.

One of the best threads ever.

post again and we will talk. at least tell us who your favorite wrestler is.

I'm so sick of Double j being the TNA champ. This is why people in charge shouldn't always be wrestlers on the show.

My favorite wrestler now would probably have to be.....
Rey Mysterio.

Of all time it would be The Undertaker.
Again about that Chavo-Rey thing. What the hell was that about anyways?

It reminds of the days when HHH held the belt for 7 straight months... I'm still hoping that Samoa Joe gets the belt eventually he's probably the most talented and popular wrestler in the TNA roster and everyone knows he deserves it.


My name is pepeatumi... But you already knew that!

I don't really watch TNA so I have no comment.
