Ehh, Foley and a bunch of other guys really don't seem that intresting.

I still wanna see Farooq in that match.

Oh, and by the way...

My dad is watching the Pacquiao vs Morales fight, and at some point, Rey Mysterio was seen with Morales. He was in his crutches, and in his mask. accompanying him to the ring.

So, I'm a mysterio fan, but I'm a proud Pacman Filipino boy. Ehhh...Damn.

yay batisita!!!!!!!!!!!!

They also still employ the gemini guys, but since we can't see Velocity anymore they are pretty much forgotten.

So Genesis is tonight and its time for my picks.

The Naturals vs Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal.. I'm taking The Naturals. They took care of the Dudleyz on thursday so I don't see them losing to the team of Dutt and Letahl (although I'm a fan of both Sonjay and Lethal).

Robert Roode open challenge. If its anyone Roode will win, if its someone like Rhyno, then Rhyno wins. But I think it will be some jobber (Smiley or Sharboy) in order to keep hyping up Roode as the next big thing.

The James Gang vs Kazarian-Bentley and Devine... Who else thinks the emo gimmick sucks? I know Raven will eventually show up and lead his new flock and I hope its tonight. But since Russo is at the helm, I'm taking the James Gang follwed by another promo taking shots at the WWE.

Austin Aries-Alex Shelley vs Lance Hoyt and Ron Killings... I'm taking Hoyt and Killings as Aries and Shelley continue to have problems wiht each other.

AJ Styles vs Christian Cage.. I don't know who to pick because I like them both. I'll take Styles (just barely) because he seems to be on hos way to another push, either way this will be a great match.

Christopher Daniels vs Chris Sabin... The title's changed hands so much lately that its losing its prestige, but I'm hoping the belt doesn't change hands (again!) so I'll take Daniels.

Lax vs AMW... I'm taking LAX with help from Low-Ki (who's supposed to join LAX). I also expect Petey Williams to interfeere and he and Low-Ki could have a feud, which would also make for a lot of great matches. I'm predicting a couple of run-ins in this match, but again its Russo so this is to be expected.

Sting vs Abyss... I'm taking Sting. Sting is nothing more than a transitional champion, but he's not dropping the title to Abyss. Besides, we all know that this isn't the match that'll make genesis a great PPV.

Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe... This is it, the match we've all been waiting for, Angle-Joe.. And I'm taking Angle. He's TNA's biggest acquisition and I don't see him losing in his second match, I believe Angle will put an end to Joe's unbeaten streak. Although, if it were me I would let this match be a no-contest and have them wrestle at least two more times with each time Angle and Joe putting on better performances. This will be a great match, but I don't think it'll be the best one we see between the two.

We might not have to wait until SS to see the Jeff and Matt reunite.

WWE.com has been informed that ECW representative Paul Heyman has issued an open invitation to Matt and Jeff Hardy to compete this Tuesday on ECW on Sci Fi. Formerly known as Team Xtreme, Jeff and Matt Hardy have never appeared on ECW, but have long been proponents of the “extreme style.” Team Xtreme has not competed as a team in nearly five years, making the possibility of a reformation on Tuesday night as appealing as ever.

As a unit, the Hardys won multiple tag team championships, captivating audiences with their innovative and breathtaking maneuvers while providing some of the most memorable moments in sports-entertainment history. A dramatic split in 2002 tore the brothers apart, leaving WWE fans distraught at the possibility of the end of a dynasty. At Survivor Series, the Hardys will reunite as partners on Team DX, when they take on Team RKO in a Traditional Survivor Series Match.

Paul Heyman, apparently looking to trump both RAW and SmackDown is always looking for opportunities to boost ECW’s profile. In accordance, he has extended the invitation in hopes of capitalizing on the highly anticipated Hardy reunion. In an exclusive interview with ECW.com, Heyman shed more light on the developing situation.

“The Hardys have a great reputation as one of the most extreme tag teams of all time,” exclaimed Heyman. “They are unquestionably one of the most popular teams in WWE history. Much like ECW’s resurrection by popular demand in 2005, people have been clamoring for a Hardy Boyz reunion for five years. It’s time for the Hardy Boyz to not only team up again, but to do it in the biggest way possible… a reunion of Team Xtreme and their ECW debut, all rolled up into one.”

As of press time, the Hardys were yet to respond to Heyman’s offer. WWE.com however, is attempting to contact the brothers to get their answer. Check back to WWE and ECW.com throughout the weekend for more on this breaking news.

The Hardy Boyz on ECW... It just makes sense.

Sting had better retain, I put over 2000000 e-dollars on him on a betting website. If I lose, I will be so poor... Commomn sense tells me that Sting will not drop the title until Jeff Jarrett comes back.

Pepi, James Gang Broke up. VOODOO KIN MAFIA ALL DAY.

This is just a heads-up, the First ever TNA Music album, "3rd degree burns" drops tuesday. I may just buy Aj Styles' and Lance Hoyt's Themes online.

I know they're no longer the James Gang... But I'm against their name and the whole lame-ass storyline. Besides there are certain wrestlers whose name I won't change.

Low-Ki, Austin Aries, James Gang and The Dudley Boyz (Not team 3d). And by the way, CKM? Look, Mcmahon has better things to do than worry about two former employess, who are trying to salvage what little is left of their careers.

Undertaker has suffered an injury. Read below to find out more.

The Undertaker suffered a severe rib injury during WWE's recent European tour. He worked through the injury on the European tour and will work Survivor Series but will be limited in what he can do.

I don't plan on buying the album, just downloading the few theme songs I like... Most notably Samoa Joe's and Aj's.

Actually, I believe Velocity was totally cancelled when ECW was started, as they shipped the ECW tapes around internationally in place of Velocity.

I've been hearing the Gemini are slated to be brought back at some point soon here as well.

Taker really is a soldier for WWE, there's no doubt about that. I hope he dosen't get hurt any further.

The Hardyz on ECW? This is certainly an intriguing idea, I would hope they are doing this in an attempt to potentially build up a tag team that could be seen as the mainline guys for the ECW brand's tag team endeavors and would become the first new champions...yeah, but I don't see that happening either, it's fucking pathetic how quickly they've killed my faith in anything they do.

This is pretty much the closest thing I could find to a track list for 3rd Degree Burns.

It's stupid, there's only music for like 15 stars + the iMPACT Theme song.

I'll post the full results later but.... Abyss is your new TNA champion. He won via DQ and TNA rules say that the title can change via DQ. This rule hasn't been enforce in a while... BUt leave it to Russo to oull a swerve.

And probably devalue the belt in the process, because does anybody honestly think Abyss is hanging onto it for long? They'll probably have him dropping it to Joe or Angle by Thursday, honestly, Joe/Angle dosen't need the belt, Sting vs. Christian could have been good for that, but Joe and Angle going after it could probably also help the belts prestige. Time will tell, but since I don't believe this reign will be long at all, I just don't understand why they switched it.

Getting the title via DQ? I don't ever remwmbr TNA having that rule as standard for their title. Russo is an idiot.

Hardyz in ECW would rock. It's been far too long since they have teamed together.

JBL is looking to return to the ring in 2007 and work a "Foley-like" scheduel.

I can see Abyss dropping the title to K-FED after his fued with Cena.

I think it shows that WWE is trying to show their confidence in ECW. They're taking a Smackdown superstar, and a Raw superstar, and putting them together for the first time in years. It should give ECW a good ratings boost for that week.

JBL is looking to return to the ring in 2007 and work a "Foley-like" scheduel.

I can't honestly see that working. Foley's sporadic appearances rely on his cult like popularity with the fans, who'll cheer him no matter how long he's been away.
JBL? Fans just won't care from what I can see. He needs to be alot more regular than Foley to stay popular.

And is it just me, or is an APA Reunion being teased? JBL constantly makes references to him and Farooq, saying they were a great team, and Farooq has been making appearances every so often for the past few months.

Kurt Angle still fights? I thought he had retired, last time I saw him was on 2001, seriously EVERYONE hated him because he was gay with his gold medal, so arrogant.

He still wears the gold medal?

I didn't want to do this but.... One of Samoa JOe's best friends in the wrestling business is... John Cena. So how can you hate Joe when he's pals with your boys,

And speaking of one of your boys, Styles loos like he could be turning heel.... And Vince Russo will be the DEATH of TNA, plain and simple. Now, on to RAW.

The following is from WWE.com:

Just hours before Raw goes live, reports are that all members from all Survivor Series teams will be present in Baltimore tonight. This includes competitors from both ECW and SmackDown. If the rumors are true, it could be a very volatile situation just six days before Survivor Series.

Suspicions were amplified as WWE.com witnessed CM Punk • a member of Team DX • step into a taxi at a downtown Baltimore hotel, and the spotting of the Extreme Giant Big Show at a local restaurant earlier.

Could the ECW World Champion and Survivor Series team captain be in town for tonight’s edition of Raw? What does this mean for the Raw roster on hand at the First Mariner Arena in Baltimore?

You'll become a bigger Styles fan if he turns heel. The cocky persona just suits him and he's better as a hee; than a face, its the same with Chris Sabin.

wtf, they jobbed Sabu like he was nobody. I don't care if it is Umaga, Sabu isn't anyone's bitch.

Looks like Ron Simmons is Ric Flairs partner.. "WHOOOOOOO....DAMN!"

The ladder match looks to be a good one. It's on next so we'll see huh?

LordKooler's Friday Night SmackDown! review
1.The Boogeyman vs. The Miz & Kristal
I fast forwarded through the majority of this match. The Boogeyman spit worms on Kristal during the match. I think the match ended in a no contest. Fuck Miz, He doesn't deserve to be undefeated. I hope Boogeyman ends his undefeated streak.
2.Chris Benoit vs. Tatanka
Damn, Tatanka looks horrible. Why isn't he wearing the Sting facepaint that he wore on the November 3rd episode of Smackdown? Benoit made him tap to the Crossface to win the match. Even as a heel Tatanka STILL can't get a win. After the match, Chavo Guerrero comes out and attacks Benoit.
3.Mr. Kennedy promo
Mistahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kennedayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy............. .......... Kennedayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cuts another awesome promo on Smackdown by saying that a new star emerged and sports entertainment has a savior and a future in him. He has defeated five former world champions and has broken new ground. Then Kennedy ends the promo by saying that Undertaker's 15 years of destruction will end at Survivor Series.
4.William Regal vs. Paul London (w/Ashley)
Cole made an idiot out of himself during the match when he said that Regal & Dave Taylor are the No.1 Contenders to the Tag Team Titles. First of all, Dave Taylor is injured, And Regal needs to find a replacement if he wants to challenge Londrick for the titles. aviewaskewed suggested Harry Smith. It sounds like a good idea because Harry Smith can finally get tv time if that were to happen. But i'd rather see Harry Smith team with T.J. Wilson and reunite the Stampede Bulldogs. I know that Harry Smith is working RAW house shows and Dark matches but they would be a great addition to Smackdown's Tag Team division and could have great matches against Londrick. I'd like to see Regal team with someone like either Paul Burchill or Doug Williams & Nigel McGuinness if WWE were to sign both Williams & McGuinness to contracts. Regal won at the end.
5.Street Fight: Kane vs. MVP
Fast Forwarded through most of this match. Kane won at the end. Then after the match, Undertaker comes out and him & Kane give MVP the Double Chokeslam while Mr. Kennedy looks on.
6.Matt Hardy vs. Gregory Helms
Match #465687566546654 of the never-ending Helms/Hardy feud. With guys like Jimmy Wang Yang feuding with Sylvan, Scotty 2 Hotty, Funaki, and Jamie Noble being used as jobbers, Paul London & Brian Kendrick as WWE Tag Team Champions, Super Crazy on RAW, And Little Guido, Tony Mamaluke, and Shannon Moore on ECW, I officially declare the Cruiserweight division DEAD. Matt Hardy won at the end.
7.King Booker (w/Queen Sharmell) & Finlay vs. Batista & Lashley
A decent match to end Smackdown. Batista & Lashley won at the end.

Damn, that would be really awesome. Farooq is there, Bradshaw is there, so that would basically give SmackDown! The boost it needs.

The reason I say Smackdown is because Simmons isn't a RAW exclusive superstar, then again, they could move them to RAW. But they already have DX, so hey, why not.

That was a nice match, Johnny Nitro was amazing, and so was that dropkick from on top of the ladder. Jeff's power bomb was great too. All together Raw was good tonight, except for Umaga's match.

In speaking of Jeff and Ladder Matches, I found the Jeff/Undertaker match from a few years back. This match brings promise of Jeff being a main eventer in the future.

I think it's official now, if it wasn't before: Wrestling completely sucks and I have no faith in it getting any better anytime soon.
