Dude Christy is hot, really hot, she just can't wrestle for her life. What about Gail Kim, ever seen her wrestle? She is really good, also one of the best.

Yea, I seen Gail on RAW for her first match ever live in my hometown, I had floor seats too. She won the womens championship that night too lol. First match and a belt already, she was good.

LordKooler's TNA iMPACT! review
1.Wild brawl on iMPACT!
iMPACT starts off with LAX attacking Styles & Daniels. Jeff Jarrett's championship celebration was supposed to happen but the brawl ruined it. Then Monty Brown, Rhino, Samoa Joe, Abyss, and Brother Runt get involved in the brawl. Then Jeff Jarret comes out but then the lights go out and Sting appears in the ring! Sting challenges Jeff Jarrett to a match at Bound for Glory. Styles & Daniels will face LAX in a Border Brawl for the NWA Tag Team Championship next week.
2.Petey Williams & The Paparazzi vs Chris Sabin & Sonjay Dutt & Jay Lethal
During the match, Earl Hebner attacked Slick Johnson while security tried to seperate them. Remember when Earl Hebner wrestled Nick Patrick at WWE Invasion 2001? That was a crap match. If Hebner & Johnson were to wrestle each other at No Surrender or Bound for Glory, It would be one of the worst matches of all time. This was a good fast paced X Division match. Sabin, Lethal, and Dutt won at the end.
3.Chris Harris vs Kazarian vs BG James vs Chase Stevens
In my opinion, TNA should'ive cancelled the Gail Kim/Sirelda match instead of the Fatal Four way tag team match at Hard Justice. The good news is that Gail Kim defeated Sirelda at Hard Justice in Sirelda's last match in TNA. I'm happy that the Chyna/Nicole Bass lovechild is gone from TNA. But there are rumors that she might return. You want to know why Benzarian are being buried? Kazarian is getting buried because he left TNA for WWE last year, And Bentley is getting buried because he no-showed some TNA-UWF house shows. Chase Stevens won at the end. The Naturals are the No.1 contenders to the tag team titles. Who will they face at Bound for Glory? LAX? or AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels? I have a feeling that America's Most Wanted might break up because Harris & Storm haven't been getting along recently.
4.Samoa Joe vs Ron Killings
In my opinion TNA should create a mid-card title. WWE has the Intercontinental Championship and the United States Championship but i think that if TNA were to get a mid-card belt, They should call it the TNA Television Championship. When Samoa Joe came out, People were holding up signs saying that Samoa Joe doesn't need face paint and Samoa Joe doesn't need imitators. Those are obvious references to Uuuuuuuumaaaaga. If Samoa Joe went to WWE instead of TNA, He would'ive been renamed Samoa Joemaga and he would'ive gotten Umaga's gimmick. I like to see fans chant "Joe's Gonna Kill You!" towards Umaga. This was a good match to end iMPACT! Ron Killings was a tough opponent for Joe and Killings nearly defeated him. But Samoa Joe won at the end. Samoa Joe is still undefeated. After the match, Jeff Jarrett said that if he defeats Sting at Bound for Glory, Sting will have to leave TNA forever.

Samoa Joe would probably have kept his name, but he'd have been put in face paint, and turned into Umaga's tag partner I'm sure, and called "The New Wild Samoans" or something equally as stupid. But it's not like TNA is doing Joe huge favors right now anyway by pushing him to the cusp of main event status and then just dropping him back down to the middle of the card again...maybe Joe should give the new ECW a try when his TNA contract expires : )

Hey aviewaskewed, Have you checked out Death Valley Driver's Top 20 ECW matches of the 1990's yet? I sent you a private message with that link in it. Have you read it yet?

Haha, here in Australia we've already seen SmakDown!® and ¬­he Great Khali v Taker match is sure as hell a good match IMO. Watch it!

damn I forgot all about TNA. I'll have to catch it on Saturday.

Thanks fo the link LK , I'll have to check it out.

I don't think Joe would have gotten the same push had he wound up in WWE. But hey now that he is more established and decided to go maybe WWE could make the most of it.. I doubt it though.

Oh, I will. ;) Don't spoil it!

SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE!
lol my lips...wait...my fingers are shut ;)

if umaga is so good y doesn't he fight KANE and get his ass kicked? seriously? Umaga's ass would get kicked!

Did Saint_sileighty say that the Khali-Taker match was good? I'll have to see that before I believe it.

Samoa Joe in the WWE would probably keep his name TNA has made money off of Joe with that name so I doubt it would change.... If he were to go to the WWE he should go to ECW maybe he could have a longer match with Sabu than he had in TNA, we could see Joe take on Punk (again) and we could see the match that I want to see... Samoa Joe vs Kurt Angle... in a submission match.

as for the top 20 ECW matches... I would switch number 2 with number 4 because IMO I liked the 2 out out 3 falls match between Eddie and Malenko and well... I haven't seen Al Snow vs Benoit, other than that I had no problems with the list.

Pfffff! Umaga would open a can of whoop-ass on Samoa Joke! trust me...

It sucks that Layla won. All poeple wanna se today is a woman in a bikini. I think Milena was the only one that was really athletic and stuff. I hope she ends up like krystal, like she didn't win but she is still a diva. How could Milena be Eliminated. That totally sucks. I hope she returns and kicks layla's ass.

First an update on Chris Masters....

-- Chris Masters has been off WWE TV for several weeks as a result of a failed "Wellness" drug test. It was reported that Masters tested positive for muscle-enhancing drugs, rumored to be anabolic steroids. Last night, Masters made his return to the ring at a TV taping for OVW. After sitting out his suspension and getting off the performance enhancing drugs, Masters' appearance has changed drastically - to the point where it would be impossible to keep his "Masterpiece" gimmick...

So he was juicing... Can't say I'm really surprised. I don't know where it was but I saw a pic of Masters and like the report says I don't he can be the masterpiece any longer.

Also news on a bizarre angle that Vince (he's a weird dude) had planned.

Credit: PWInsider.com

The new McMahons DVD features commentary from Stephanie McMahon where she says that she had to nix potential incest angles. According to her, Vince wanted himself to be revealed as the father of her baby and when she said no, he pushed for Shane to be revealed as the father. She turned that idea down also. She also said no to Vince's idea that her wedding to Triple H be aired on PPV.

I find this dumb for one reason... Stephanie came up with the Katie Vick storyline... the necrophilia one I believe she also came up with the angle where Kurt Angle wanted to have "beast like sex" with Sharmell,,, but she turned down an incest angle... Screw Vince his whole family is weird.

Man Vince is wierd. She probably turned it down because it involved her. She probably would have OK"d it, if the story involved one of the Divas.

Hmm I wonder what Master's new gimmick is. I wonder if he will still do the Master Lock.

YEAH!!! I'm sooooooo happy Layla won! She is so athletic, so energetic... I voted for her like 7 times...yay

That's true Umaga would lose, but would stand a chance. He actually is an amazing wrestler.

Worst vote ever. I though JT should have won, or Melina. Those 2 were the ones that were winning until the top 4, you knew Layla was going to win then :(. Layla sucks.

You forgot to include this dream match. If Samoa Joe were to go to SmackDown, I'd like to see him wrestle Chris Benoit in a Ultimate Submission match. That would be the Match of the Year if it actually happened.

I would make the Malenko/Guerrero 2 out of 3 falls match number one because it had lots of emotion because both men were leaving for WCW after that match. I think that it is the best match of both Eddie Guerrero & Dean Malenko. I would also put the Rey Mysterio/Psicosis 2 out of 3 falls match in the top 5.

I could care less about the Diva Search but this picture is priceless.

Didn' there used to be a Tag Team Called 'The Samoans'?

I'd Like To Joe and Umaga revive that Team. Umaga is awesome, and Joe (Though I'd hate to admit it) Has Chops too. They Be Fantastic as a Team.

If it happens on a Wrestlemania it would be one of the best matches of all time... forget the submission I would just enjoy seeing those two guys counter pretty every submission move.

I'm not sure if I would put it number 1... I would leave it at number 2... As for Mysterio/Psycosis it definitely should have been in the top 5 I have that match on my computer and I just have to watch it every day its Mysterio as his best and Psychosis doesn't do so bad himself.

Crap, Being at school now means i miss all the wrestling shows now... DAMN...

I'm watching summerslam in two days, just for the Randy orton vs Hulk hogan match (if that is still a-go)

Sorry for the long absence; school started for me and I've been fucking tired after everyday. Anyways, good to be back...

Hey Fragment. Nice list there. Well, it's time for me to be honest. I've been comtemplating on cheering for Cena. BUT, only if he starts doing more cooler moves in his matches. But, I do think his movie "The Marine" looks interesting...

Btw, if he wins the WWE Championship this Sunday, I'm taking that back. Minus the movie; you can never deny what looks to be a good action movie...

You got issues. Umaga is a dumbass hack that can't work a lick. Samoa Joe is the most talented individual for his size. He can do an ENZUGURI FOR FUCKS SAKE! Do you see other 280+ pounders doing that? ...that's what I thought...

At 8/18/06 07:33 PM, Pineapple_Sock wrote: YEAH!!! I'm sooooooo happy Layla won! She is so athletic, so energetic... I voted for her like 7 times...yay

I'm not. I wanted either JT or Jen to win. I'm pissed. In my opinion, the WWE has hired a female Carlito (not that that's bad,...unless she can't wrestle, then that's not cool)

At 8/18/06 08:24 PM, redface wrote: Didn' there used to be a Tag Team Called 'The Samoans'?

No, they were back in the old days of the WWF. It was a team known as the Headshrinkers, billed from the Islands of Samoa. I have a match of them in Survivor Series 1992. Bad news is, it's on VHS and it's very, very old. Watched it too many times and it's not what it used to be.

I'd Like To Joe and Umaga revive that Team. Umaga is awesome, and Joe (Though I'd hate to admit it) Has Chops too. They Be Fantastic as a Team.

Bullshit. Umaga is a worthless hack being billed at main event status. I don't like the fuck. And, if Samoa Joe was to ever go to Vince, he'd better be in ECW. I wanna see another Joe vs. Dreamer match. Or Joe vs. Punk; hell, the possibilities are endless.

As for my wrestling (VHS and DVD) collection, I'd like to include the VHS and update the DVD collection (note: VHS means I recorded it off the PPV on that day)

Tombstone: The History of The Undertaker
The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior
Blood Sport: ECW: The Most Violent Matches
ECW One Night Stand 2005 (VHS)
SummerSlam 2005 (VHS)
Survivor Series 1992 (VHS)
ECW One Night Stand 2006
ECW Barely Legal

Ok, as for this year's SummerSlam predictions, I'll probably put them up tomorrow.

At 8/18/06 08:24 PM, redface wrote: Didn' there used to be a Tag Team Called 'The Samoans'?

The Wild Samoans was the team of Afa and Seka, a gimmick revisited many times with teams like The Headshrinkers.

I'm going to check out that list soon and see what I think, maybe even have a rebuttal for it. But if Eddie/Malenko isn't number 1, the fan is insane I think. You have to remember that match happened at the tail end of 1995, when the ECW crowd was at it's most rabid and vicious, for them to go the entire match and instead of chanting "You Sold Out!" to instead chant "Please Don't Go!" shows you just how much these performers meant to the company at that time. I remember watching this match when it first aired, and it instantly made Malenko and Guerrero stars in my eyes.

Then call that fan insane... because Eddie vs Malenko isn't number one.. I haven't seen the match that's at number one so I can't really say if it deserved to be there or not... Rey vs Psycosis is there but personally I prefer Rey vs Juventud which was also 2 out of 3 falls but that's just because I've always been a fan of Juventud.

it doesn't surprise me at all that Masters was using steroids. If you can find a pic of what he looks like now. Without his look WWE may now pay attention to how lacking he is in the ring.

What a surprise... I saw the pic on PWinsider and I went to find it just now and... the link seems ot have been taken down... I guess the WWE doesn't want people to see how Masters looks now.

The match that's number one on Death Valley Driver's top 20 ECW matches of the 1990's list is the Raven/Stevie Richards vs Pitbulls 2 out of 3 falls dog collar match. It's on disk 2 of the Rise & Fall of ECW DVD.

1.Batista vs Sylvan

6.Finlay vs Lashley
Good match. Lashley won by DQ when William Regal got involved.
