I was very impressed by how well Melina's mic skills have improved as of late. She can really talk like she means it now. And it was nice to see Mickie James back... that girl looks so fine. I'd love to see them two face off again which will most likely happen.

As for Lashley vs. Umaga... i'm not going to bother watching. Lashley will win cuz they love that guy.

They still make Cena and Michaels look like supermen... they faced all those tag teams.. and the only way they lost was cuz Michaels tossed Cena out of the ring. But at least now the Hardy boys have the titles which is nice. They deserve it.

As for Mcmahon.. it was so funny when he hid his head underneath Lillian Garcia's skirt. hahahaha

Hopefully they can find some decent opponents for the Hardyz to fight against, although the World Tag titles at this point are pretty useless.

Mania was a paint by numbers show, no surprises, decent stuff, but if you didn't buy it. Wait for the DVD.

I missed the first half of Raw. I tuned in just in time to see Vince run around bald. It's pretty cool to see the Hardyz tag team champions again. I guess that makes Matt a Raw guy now.

It would be ridiculous if that hadn't have happened though. You can't have the ECW Champion lose his title on Raw, that would suck for ECW.
Overall, I think Raw was pretty good, if not predictable. It showed to me that Wrestlemania isn't neccesarily the end to all storylines, and even though it was quite obvious that HBK was going to screw Cena, I still marked out when he did :P

Hah, I taped wrestlemania and I noticed during the Cena match somebody from the crowd got into the ring!!

LOL

But the WWE sercurity + camera crew did a great job concealing it from the crowd

it happens right after the Ref checks Cena before the match, that's why they focused the camera on the competitors for so long in the start to avoid the wide shot.

The WWE has signed a new wrestler.... And a great one at that.

Major ROH star headed to WWE...

Ring of Honor star Colt Cabana has signed a developmental deal with WWE and will report to OVW soon. Cabana was backstage at WrestleMania 23. He has also done jobber work for WWE in the past.

Cabana also recently worked for Wrestling Society X under the name of Matt Classic, which would seem to indicate that MTV has started releasing contracted WSX talent.

Cabana's final show with ROH will be on 4/28 at the Windy City Fieldhouse in Chicago Ridge. The show will in many ways be a tribute to Cabana and be called "Good Times, Great Memories."

About damn time!

Awesome! I hope he makes a debut soon. I keep hearing his name but I don't really know who he is. I'll have to search around a bit for some info.

Hey Avie, I know we can't post video links and whatnot, but what about something found at ytmnd.com? Most are just pictures, but I want to be sure. I found a couple that are very funny.

I think those are ok, that stuff is probably protected under fair use laws so it's fine.

I enjoyed the main event of ECW tonight (that's all I saw) but it sure didn't really break any ground on this storyline, and really shows that ECW needs definite work in terms of making guys seem more important. I think they have some talent on that show, but at this point it seems more and more to me that probably the best way to build ECW back up is to insert RAW and SD! guys on there and let the ECW guys get some victories over them so they seem more important. Because right now they seem to be enhancement guys. Wouldn't be hard either because with the exception of touring at this point, the brand extension is dead, so why not try to use that fact to try and make money off the guys on a struggling show.

Cool. But befor eI go and refind them here is a link with some interesting facts about this past WM: http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articl eid=177654398

Just as an example, this is the second year in a row tha Cena has won a WM with the STFU.

That extreme rules main event on ECW was absolutely amazing!

I hope the Hardys reform, since it will give each something to do, and give each some steam for a push. I'm hoping that at least one of them will be champ someday.

You really thought that Cena would lose to HBK at WM? Hell no, Vince loves his boy too much to let him lose. Back to the days before HHH got injured, HBK used to be the one who got his ass kicked against Rated RKO and other heel tag teams before making a hot tag to HHH. In other words, HHH has received a way better booking than HBK, yet even Hunter jobbed to Cena cleanly at WM22, so there was no way that HBK would not job. With the way how Cena is booked, I will not be surprise if he runs his WM undefeated streak to double digits.

I tried posting twice last night; my comp just does NOT like the Internet, period.

Anyway, as far as last Friday, it was nice to finally see Jeff Hardy & CM Punk wrestle. The 10-Diva Tag-Match was a happy moment, since 3 Playboy covergirls were on the same team. (Is it just me, or do you wish that Torrie Wilson did that to you too? ^_^ I didn't even know she was still with the WWE, so I'm glad she was there. I've had a crush on her LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG before Ashley. <3)

As far as WM, even though I didn't see it, VINCE GOT HIS HEAD SHAVED!!!!!!! I saw it in the paper, on the local news, and even a tiny clip on Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien. IT'S ALL OVER THE FRICKING PLACE!!! On the news, he was sobbing like a 2-year-old. It was great. :P Of course Taker won, just as we wanted. He's in today's local paper. And of course Cena won, even though to some's dismay (and that's not counting the botchjob). I'm even glad Kennedy won. And good for the ECW originals getting their win.

BUT WHY COULDN'T THEY LET KANE WIN, DAMMIT?

One guy who was really upset about being left off of Wrestlemania is Carlito. At the WWE THQ Superstar Challenge, Carlito won one of his matches and was reportedly overheard saying, and this is not a direct quote, "Great, I can win here and can't at Wrestlemania." He wasn't in the best of spirits. To add to that, his feelings have been confirmed in an article today in the Ottawa Sun.

"I'm out of Wrestlemania," he says. Carlito then takes a subtle shot at some of the people who will be wrestling at WrestleMania by saying, "Apparently, they had to make space for Kane vs. Khali and Melina vs. Ashley. How can I be at Wrestlemania? If I politic and kiss ass, I should make it."

Carlito also added, "I'm not going to cry or be bitter, there's always next year ... and I don't want to get fired. But they're showing disrespect by not having Ric Flair at Wrestlemania and even more disrespect by not having Carlito there."

Good for him having the balls to say that.

Of course not; he didn't want the Trump to have to wear a neck brace; he'd probably sue.

Rock on; they DO deserve it, especially Matt, since he hasn't even SPLIT a title in god knows how many years, and Jeff has only been back a few months.

As for Mcmahon.. it was so funny when he hid his head underneath Lillian Garcia's skirt. hahahaha

Rofl. I'm just loving this. :P

Cool (pardon the pun); maybe he can keep Carlito with the WWE for a while longer.

thats a really good one. Some of the funnier have moving footage so I'm not sure if it's cool for here.

haha, that was pretty cool. Edge didn't really change? Well I thought he was cooler when he was with the brood. Back then he didn't really talk but now he talks all the time and he's like one of those annoying flies that just won't go away.

Legit injury, Holly has had nerve damage in his arm for a little while now, and now that he's figured out he won't be a featured part of ECW, he's just scheduled surgery and is gonna have it taken care of. A lot of people don't like him (and with reason) but I still feel bad for the guy, he really tries to gut things out and he's gotten a lot of bad breaks in the business.

Having a day for it to gel a little more, I have to say that top to bottom I really enjoyed last night's ECW main, and I hope this is the direction the brand takes in the future. I also hope they're building towards CM Punk saying "no" to Elijah and the NB, I agree with the guys at PWInsider that a Burke/Punk feud could be a great main event storyline for ECW, and really help give the show it's own identity. As much as I've downed the crappy way the product has been going, there's some really talented folks on there I want to see succeed. Guys who busted it for the original ECW, and guys who I think can break out and remind me very much of certain ECW characters (I think Elijah Burke could become for that show exactly what Shane Douglas was for the original ECW, a solid athletic arrogant heel). Hopefully WWE can get that done.

WWE is auctioning off Vince McMahon’s hair. Bids have reached as high as $400.

Gross. People actually want that kind of crap?

Apparently ECW superstar Elijah Burke blew out his knee at the finish of his eight-man tag match last night. As of right now, we do not have an update but will post one as soon as we hear something.

Hope he is ok.

I've heard there's nothing wrong with Burke's knee, he was just doing a fantastic sell job. Dave Meltzer has like NO credibility anymore these days, take what he says with a pinch of salt guys.

This is what I've heard was Vince Mcmahon's reaction to the Tuesday ECW 8 Man Tag, and who put it together:

*Vince McMahon loved the ECW 8 Man Extreme Rules match and gave the competitors a standing ovation after the bout. Dean Malenko and Dusty Rhodes were heavily involved with the planning and execution of the match. It should be interesting to see, given the way the crowd reacted, whether the match will leave WWE more open to doing more "old school ECW" style direction and matches with the ECW brand or whether this was a rare occurrence, given those who politically have been against the ECW brand being anything but a third pure WWE sports-entertainment style company.

Let us pray Vince realizes he's on to something here and that anybody in the company who tries to tell him that's not the right direction is told to shut up. We can pray.

And you're not even mentioning the deal about HHH and Steph going after Meltzer's sources... Indeed, the man has lost a ton (if not all) of his credibilty... Oh well.

I still have hope in ECW, because of one man... Dusty FUCKIN Rhodes! I know his booking was odd on WCW (in the early 90's) but ever since he's been working on ECW the show has slowly but surely improved. I guess it helps to have a guy that...wait for it... actually knows about the wrestling business, and Dusty looks like the kind of guy who wold love Extreme Rules matches.

I think that Edge is an awesome heel. Do not forget that you've got be piss people off and trash talk as a heel. Edge is doing a great job as a crafty heel. I will be very surprised if he does not end up being in the ME of Blacklash.

Gotta agree, Dusty is tremendous for ideas and understanding the business and the psychology of things. But Dusty can sometimes have a problem executing his ideas correctly, or he overdoes it, and he can't book if he's involved on the show. I like the idea of him on a team where he is not the authority so if he pitches an idea and it's bad, somebody has the power to say "No Dream, that's not a good idea" or if it's great "yes, brother, that is the sweet stuff, from a man who has wined and dined with Kings and Queens! And slept in alleys and dined on pork and beans!"

Also, he knows ECW, from the few months in 2000 he worked there, and had a pretty damn great series of bouts that helped to make Steve Corino.

TNA and SpikeTV continue to discuss ways to expand their relationship. Negotiations are ongoing for a longer Impact timeslot. Interestingly enough, there is also talk now of adding a second weekly TNA show, likely either a talk show similar to the UFC talk show hosted by Joe Rogan or another type of show that would use TNA's library somewhat like UFC Unleashed.

SpikeTV is strongly behind TNA because it remains the only show they have introduced since the Ultimate Fighter that has delivered well in the ratings.

To make the story much more interesting, two other networks are apparently interested in TNA programming. One of those two is MyNetworkTV which currently airs the International Fight League. The other network is apparently one that has never aired pro-wrestling before.

Unless the other network is a major cable outlet or network television, I just don't see the benefit to TNA in leaving SpikeTV, a network that is solidly committed to expanding their programming, unless TNA thinks they can use this as a way to make Spike bow a bit more to them in the negotiation process.

Plus you have Malinko there, and thats a dude who knows whats going on. I just wish he didn't retire so early on, but given what WWE was doing with him when he was an active wrestler I can't blame him.

So I hear now there's going to be an XPW reunion show that will be put on by Big Vision entertainment (who now own all the footage and stuff) trying to piggyback off a lot of those guys appearing on WSX TV (which again, considering so few people watched it, is there really going to be a demand?).

I realize I'm risking crapping on a product that was possibly near and dear to some people but...come on, that company was a poor man's ECW and anything they couldn't steal from ECW was just utter dreck to my mind. It seems to me like Big Vision is trying to cash in on their purchase (and I don't blame them at all) but I wonder if there's really a market for XPW, as it was basically just mindless violence, crappy wrestling, and the only guys that I ever saw really worth a damn on their shows were former ECW guys.

DUDEZ Wrestlmania Waz F'n awesome, It was pretty sweet watchin Edge go trough the Ladder

Is this an animation collab, or just a crew? Either way I want to join! I LOVE WWE and wrestling!

Just a crew, and if you want to join please post again. We get a lot of people who come in here saying they want to join, then never come back. So just post again, maybe tell us who your favorite wrestler is, favorite finisher, or whatever and we'll make it offical.

I had to tape SD so I'll be watching it sometime today.

For that I would say that the neck thing is just an angle, but the knee issue is probably the real reason he is taking time off. From what I hear he has been working through that for quite some time so in my mind he deserves some time to heal.

I thought this was an interesting article:
from www.wrestlezone.com
Nowadays, WWE is trying to listen to the fans a bit more. They tried to bury these three individuals, but the fans refused to stop cheering for them.

Expect to see big pushes for CM Punk, Matt Hardy and Rob Van Dam. A lot has already been shown by Punk's role at WrestleMania and his good performance on the show. On Raw, you saw Matt Hardy become a champion again. And at WrestleMania, RVD gained a win because they want him to a part of WWE in the future. The company threw him a bone with the Mania win, basically letting him know that if he re-signed, they'd take care of him. No one knows what his plans are and the belief is that he's not 100 percent sure at this point.
