P.S Speaking of ECW, Go Over to WWE.com and cast your vote as to who will face Lashley for the belt tonight. Your Choices are RVD, Test or Sabu.

I voted for Sabu, but I have to make a correction... The title will not be on the line tonight. This vote determines who will face Lashley on January 2nd. That match will be for the ECW title.

As for tonight, we'll have a triple threat match between Van Dam, Sabu and Test.

They're definitely on my list, Jack dosen't really have as extensive a feuds list as you might think, Douglas is a good subject. But he's only the first ever EXTREME Championship Wrestling Champion, the first guy to hold the ECW title was Jimmy Snuka.

P.S Speaking of ECW, Go Over to WWE.com and cast your vote as to who will face Lashley for the belt tonight. Your Choices are RVD, Test or Sabu.

I think it'll be RVD, I like that they're sort of building the show up with a title match that way.

Obviously RVD won. There was no way that the WWE could have rigged it so that Test won, because no one really believed that Test had a chance at winning.

Is anyone looking forward to the eventual Khali-Dreamer Extreme rules Match?

I;m not, to be honest.... Dreamer deserves better than this.

LordKooler's SmackDown! review
1.John Cena promo
John Cena starts off SmackDown to promote his tag team match with Batista against King Booker & Finlay at Armageddon which Batista & Cena won. They show Cena's dad. And Cena mentions the secret santa program. Then Cena starts to make homosexual jokes towards Michael Cole. Then King Booker & Finlay come out to attack Cena but Batista comes out and prevents that.
2.Jimmy Wang Yang & Paul London & Brian Kendrick (w/Ashley) vs. Gregory Helms & William Regal & Dave Taylor
Yang, Kendrick, and London won at the end when Jimmy Wang Yang used the Yang Time 2K6 (Moonsault onto standing opponent) on Gregory Helms. How come Yang doesn't use the original Yang Time (Which was a Corkscrew 450 Splash) anymore? Is it because of the fact that WWE banned the 450 Splash and the Shooting Star Press?
3.Matt Hardy vs. Joey Mercury
Matt Hardy won with the side effect.
4.Undertaker & Kane vs. Mr. Kennedy & MVP
Fast forwarded through this match, It was used to set up Kane's Inferno match against MVP & Undertaker's Last Ride match against Mr. Kennedy at Armageddon. Both Kayfabe brothers won their specialty matches at Armageddon.
5.Chavo Guerrero (w/Vickie) vs. Funaki
Chavo won in a squash. Fast forwarded through most of this.
6.Vito vs. Sylvan
Fast forwarded through most of this.
7.Miz segment
Fast forwarded through most of this.
8.John Cena vs. Finlay
A good main event to end SmackDown. I hated the fact that Supercena (Don't flame me for this Redface) won the match. Ever since he won the WWE Championship from JBL at Wrestlemania 21, He turned it into a Spinner Belt (Which people call the bling bling belt or the John Cena championship) and WWE gave him the Superman push which is still going on today. Because of the fact that Cena overcomes the odds in nearly every match he's in, Many Smarks started hating him and he's currently the IWC's whipping boy. After the match, King Booker & Finlay attack Cena but Batista comes out to fend them off.

I think Cena will retain teh belt, but via DQ. It would not make sense to have Umaga beaten by Cena, that should go to someone who needs the momentum to go on to bigger things.

You think it'll be Extreme Rules? They don't really do Extreme Rules anymore because Vince hates those matches because there just plunderfests and people can get hurt. But falls onto the stairs won't do that though. How bad did those fans not give a shit? This show is fucking pitiful...

There were people chanting for Umaga. If people are chanting for Umaga, you know people don't give a damn about that angle. And I do believe it will be Extreme Rules because of the wrestlers involved. There's no way that Khali and Dreamer can have a "normal" match without lulling the crowd to sleep.

That's true, but WWE dosen't care about that in the least, if Dreamer dosen't just get squashed by Khali when they face off, I'll be shocked, I will be really and seriously shocked.

I have some wrestling news to report.

- Dr. Death Steve Williams and Robert Gibson (Ricky Morton's tag team partner in the Rock 'n' Roll Express) have been hired on as Producers/Agents with WWE. They will be at TV tapings and on their days off will travel to Louisville to work with the guys in Ohio Valley. Steve Williams already had his first day in OVW and was reportedly "aghast" at the state of things.

- Torrie Wilson will be in the upcoming FHM 2007 calendar.

- Antonio Inoki was not at Titan Towers last week, his son-in-law Simon was. Simon is actually the president of New Japan. Antonio was on the speaker phone during the meeting.

- The Condemned, starring Steve Austin, will be released April 27th and is said to be the best production by WWE films thus far.

- The latest edition of WWE Magazine takes a shot at Kurt Angle by giving him the "Good Riddance Award" and writing "What's the best way to re-invent yourself? Walk out at the peak of your career! Worked wonders for Lex Luger and Randy Savage."

- David Eckstein and AJ Pierzynski will be appearing on ESPN2's Cold Pizza tomorrow morning to continue their TNA angle. As of now, the plan is for the two of them to be involved in a match for the promotion next year.

Thier is no doubt about it that dreamer will get squashed if it was regualr match but more less so if it is exstreme rules then he may actaully put up a little bit of a fight but in the end dreamer will lose then t he fued will drag on forever making it boring and at that time i will just stip watching...

And so the clock begins ticking...most guys can't handle the outright idiocy of the agent system these days. OVW has definitely been a problem area for WWE, but it is seen as the #1 developmental territory, they'd probably be smart to put Paul Heyman back there where he can probably start developing some new talents for them, Mr. Kennedy is a ringing endorsement of Paul's ability to still make stars.

- Torrie Wilson will be in the upcoming FHM 2007 calendar.

Or you can just look at her for free in your old Playboys.

- Antonio Inoki was not at Titan Towers last week, his son-in-law Simon was. Simon is actually the president of New Japan. Antonio was on the speaker phone during the meeting.

I really think this was just a PR thing for both sides to be able to say "we met, what could happen?" that's all.

- The Condemned, starring Steve Austin, will be released April 27th and is said to be the best production by WWE films thus far.

Well, considering that it sounds a lot like Stephen King's the Running Man, which I thought was a great book, I'm not surprised. Plus, Austin has natural acting abilities, he just dosen't have the look that Rock does to not be typecast.

- The latest edition of WWE Magazine takes a shot at Kurt Angle by giving him the "Good Riddance Award" and writing "What's the best way to re-invent yourself? Walk out at the peak of your career! Worked wonders for Lex Luger and Randy Savage."

They took Savage out of the ring and wanted him to be a commentator, so Savage walking away was smart for him in the short term because he got a few more years to be a top guy, but screwed him in the long-term because WWE didn't want him back. Luger is Luger. This whole thing is just sour grapes and I think trepidation that Angle might actually be able to hang in there and help TNA be a threat to them, so it's a pre-emptive tearing down of the guy.

- David Eckstein and AJ Pierzynski will be appearing on ESPN2's Cold Pizza tomorrow morning to continue their TNA angle. As of now, the plan is for the two of them to be involved in a match for the promotion next year.

If you're a fan of TNA, you have to like this stuff if for no other reason then it's getting TNA mainstream press and coverage. That is exactly what TNA needs right now as they continue to increase their ratings and endear themselves to SpikeTV, the more fans they get to sample the product, the better chance they've got of growing the audience. Now they just need to make sure the booking is as good as it can be.

Hopefully they make Batista a higher up then Cena soon. Batista was the main man for like 9 months till he hurt himself. For proof watch Royal Rumble 2005 when Batista and Cena were kinda equal, but after all Batista won with out a doubt.

I've got another question for you all: Aj Style's TNA Contract is expected to expire in 2009 (about two more years), and which he's planning to go to WWE. Since I love Aj, and I reckon you all do as well, my question is: What brand should he go to, and who should he fued with?

P.S. I wouldn't toy with me if I were you, Lordkooler. ROH is coming to Connecticut friday but I don't have money to go, so I'm really tesy about it.

Plant him on Smackdown and let him wrestle his old ROH nemesis... Paul London. No restrictions, ni bullshit, let then go all out.

Although Styles is so versatile as a wrestler, that he coyld be used in a number of different ways, on any brand.

If ( and its a big if) ECW is around in two years, let him go there. And let's make ECW the place for high-flying action, you wouldn't need weapons all the time to make a good match, and it would bmake the interested in the product.

And before you say it Avie, I know this won't happen, but this is just what I would do, and what I would like to see.

Why would he want to go to WWE? They'll just screw him like CM Punk and anybody else who works better then the main eventers with all the stroke.

You know, you could have just said HHH and HBK and you would have finished your sentence faster.

I still believe that Punk being the first one out in the Elimination Chamber and being stuck in a "feud" with Holly has to do with the fact that he got a bigger pop than the MIGHTY DX at Survivor Series.

And this makes no sense to me, why don't the WWE used Punk (maybe even with DX) to get more people interested in the product, sell more merchandise... hell, make more money, instead of focusing on wheter someone's ego gets hurt.

I swea, the WWE should change their slogan to this... WWE, we hate money.

True, but it's not just HBK and H with stroke and bad friggin attitudes about young talent, whether they actively hold them down, or just passively hold them down by being dicks or trying to get paydays for themselves rather then leaving spots open for the guys who need it to continue keeping the company going.

I still believe that Punk being the first one out in the Elimination Chamber and being stuck in a "feud" with Holly has to do with the fact that he got a bigger pop than the MIGHTY DX at Survivor Series.

Oh, I absolutely know it is. Triple H's inner monologue there was something like "enjoy it now kid, cause next week I bury you and destroy any shot you had at being a player in this company".

And this makes no sense to me, why don't the WWE used Punk (maybe even with DX) to get more people interested in the product, sell more merchandise... hell, make more money, instead of focusing on wheter someone's ego gets hurt.

Yeah but, ya know, that might actually make some sense, besides, Vince is a genius who knows better then we do what we want. I don't think he gives a shit what the internet thinks, so long as he has his little marks that chant for John Cena and Batista even though neither one of them is as great as their billed as being, let him can milk them for every penny he can get, what does he care what the people who like good wrestling think? That's why I keep saying that if you really hate what's happening right now, hard as it is, you gotta change the channel and not buy the PPV's. If enough people don't support the product then WWE has no choice but to accept that what their doing isn't working, and change the formula. It's how we got Attitude to rise up from the cartoon era. Sometimes you just have to force these bastards to use their brains.

I swea, the WWE should change their slogan to this... WWE, we hate money.

They don't hate money, they're just too busy sucking each other's pricks and Vince has completely insulated himself from any sort of real critique and criticism of how he handles his product. He'd rather have people like Kevin Dunn around who reinforce his vision then someone like a Paul Heyman who will offer an alternative.

uh... Bobby Lashley is absolutely horrible on the mic.... worser than rob van dam. Both of their voice have such a high pitch and they weigh well over 200 pounds... just doesn't make sense. My voice is way deeper than theirs and I only weigh a buck thirty.

Lashley is very soft spoken and bad at promos, that's why they protected him on SD! and didn't let him talk much. Lashley really is like Burgess Meredith's character from that Twighlight Zone episode about the man who can never find enough time to read, then is like the last man on earth after a nuclear holocaust but his glasses break. Here's somebody who went to ECW so he could have Paul Heyman book him, and now Paul Heyman is gone and he's in a position he isn't really ready for.

RVD has never come off as high pitched, it's just that he really isn't very good at conveying his character on the stick, which is why his ECW promos (when he cut them) would be fairly short and to the point, and he'd just be allowed to have fun with them. He does terrible with this scripted crap.

LordKooler's TNA iMPACT! review
1.Sting vs. Kazarian (w/ Matt Bentley & Johnny Devine)
Sting won at the end. Then Sting cuts a promo on Abyss. After the match, Raven came out and caned Kazarian.
2.Tables Match: The Dudley Boyz vs. The Naturals (w/Shane Douglas)
The Dudleyz recently came back from a tour of Japan's HUSTLE promotion where they're the current HUSTLE Super Tag Team Champions. I'm not kidding, The Dudleyz are now 19 time tag team champions. The Dudleyz won when both Bubba & Dvon put Andy Douglas through a table with a second rope powerbomb. After the match, Shane Douglas says that the Naturals failed and says that the experiment is over.
3.Christmas segment
The segment starts off with Ron Killings doing a Christmas Rap with Lance Hoyt dancing and the X Division guys giving out gifts. Then after the commercial, Santa Claus (Played by Spike Dudley) is in the ring with more presents but then LAX (The best heel tag team in wrestling today) come out and Konnan says that while the gringos go on vacation, the Latinos work and starve. Then Konnan yells at Santa Spike because Konnan never got his Miami Dolphins jersey. Then LAX give Santa Spike a beatdown until Killings, Hoyt & The X Division guys make the save.
4.Sting/Abyss segment
Sting says he has something that Abyss wants. Then Sting says that Abyss is a great champion but he has to make better choices. Sting tells Abyss to stop worrying about his past because he can't change it and Sting says that he can change Abyss' future. Then Christian appears on the video screen standing near a prison and says that Abyss' bond with Sting is none of his business. Christian says that he is at the prison to gather facts before he lets out Abyss' secret. Then Christian points to a room and asks Abyss if that was his window. Then Sting tells Abyss not to listen to Christian but when Abyss was about to shake Sting's hand, Abyss goozles him instead! Then when security attempted to break up the fight, Christian (disguised as a security guard) attacks both Abyss & Sting with a night stick. At the end, Abyss gave Sting back his bat.
5.Samoa Joe & AJ Styles vs. Rhino & Kurt Angle
Samoa Joe & AJ Styles won at the end.

wow. 19 time tag team champs? In the words of Ron Simmons....DAMN! Wonder how come TNA never gave them the belts?

I get the feeling that they'll be the ones to take away the tag titles from LAX, even though I believe LAX should remain tag champs for a while longer.

Not only that, but I see The Dudleyz beating LAx and then getting into a feud with... wait for it.... The Voodoo Kin Mafia.

The Dudleys should have been tag champs at least once already. I don't get why TNA is splitting Douglas from The Naturals it seems, TNA is getting as bad as WWE about starting to push people, and then taking that push away. Yeah, they should do more with the Duds, but why destroy the Naturals to do it? Oh man...How little do Raven and his cronies matter right now? That shit is fucking WWE level pitiful. I'd really love to be able to support TNA, but when they do shit like this, they turn me right off to their product. Fire Russo, Hire Heyman, that's my new slogan, jump on the bandwagon now if you wish.

Actually, to keep it alliterative, my slogan is: Remove Russo, Hire Heyman. If anyone goes to the Impact Zone anytime soon, we can try and work that into a chant.

wwe? fuck that shit. iam old school. its all about the wwf back in the 90s and 80s and shit. with wrestlers like macho man randy savage, the ultimate warrior, hulk hogan(the original), andre the giant, you kno.

>> Ahhhh old wrestling. Hey remember when Undertake first debuted? at a Royal Rumble, and he kicked everyone's ass? (they were too busy tring to get Earthquake out, and when they did, after 8 guys tried to lift him), then out limbers the Undead Undertaker), who kicked everyone's ass)? I think Ted Debiase who rolled a one, lasted a very very long time in it.

And he kept on doing that Hangman's noose move, where he tight walked on one of ropes, then jumped onto his oppoent's head. And he retired Jimmy Snuka?

.. Ahhh Ultimate Warrior, what a nut.
>> Remember the old Hogan vs Sargent Slaughter story lines? when Sgt Slaughter was an Iraqi symphasizer.

I liked Macho King.

Then there was the 4 Managers fude: Henan, Slick, Jimmy Heart, and Mr Fuji.

I got shotgun... Not just Raven, anyone remember all the hype Robert Roode got after Team Canada disbanded? He was supposedly the hottest free-agent in wrestling, and we went week in and week out watching promos for his new manager, and after all this... He starts getting jobbed to Eric Young. There goes Roode's push right out the window.

And like you mentoned there's The Serotonin, (Raven's group) with such a cool name and Raven at the helm you expect something great, and we get... A bunch of very talented jobbers who apparently decided to raid Shanonn Moore's closet.

Anyone here know how many matches anyone from Serotonin has won since they were created? Here's a hint.... Its the same amount of matches I've won in TNA, here's a second hint.. Its less than one win.

So again.... I got Shotgun on the Heyman to TNA bandwagon.
