If they really had wanted to choose Kennedy for the McMahon son thing, they would have waited a few more weeks for his suspension to be done. So that push was never to be.

It's good to hear he's doing well. He's an inspiration for Bobby Lashleys all over the world.

So I take it no one knows the real reason for Sabu and Sandman getting fired?

As I remember, Sabu just stopped caring, and started turning up late among other things. I don't really remember Sandman's exit. I think it was along the lines you mentioned.

What a stupid way to get fired.
I lost a little respect for Jeff Hardy. He's a great competitor, but I read that he stopped showing up to TNA events when he was supposed to be fighting for the title or whatever. I thought it was wrong of him to do that. They gave him respect and he gave none in return.

im in. did anybody see edge & batista beat the undertaker the other month.

my best mate said that he saw a guy called big dickk jonson. im not sure if i believe him though

He's that fat stripper who makes cock jokes with DX.

Also, Kennedys match quality has IMPROVED lately with Shawn Michaels. His wrestling has been AWESOME.

And Brocks striking was good, but technique sloppy.
I like his fights, he'll win some sooner or later, eventually get a title shot.
Probably won't be a big fan of his UFC stuff. Only wrestler I like in UFC is Ken Shamrock.
Frank Mir is awesome, really need to catch up on UFC more now.

I have read spoilers everywhere saying that it is going to be Captain Invincible vs HHH II at WM for the WWE championship.
RIP, WWE...I will not watch/order another PPV until Captain Invincible quits maineventing WM.

Sabu and Sandman were brought in being promised they would be major parts of a revived ECW that would be like the old. Despite being two of the most over guys, they were treated like mid-carders, jobbed out, and never pushed. The WWE grind also got to them, it got to a point where both of them just didn't care and allowed themselves to be released.

It was definitely a dick move by Hardy, but TNA was stupid to take a guy that had been just released from WWE because he was telling people he was more interested in his band then wrestling, and had a drug problem as well at the time. I don't blame TNA fans for being mad that Hardy screwed them, but I think you have to lay a lot of that blame on TNA management for letting in somebody who was really screwed up, and doing basically nothing to get him to address those issues.

Jeff was burnt out in that point of his career. TNA should have left him alone, and Jeff should have tunred down the offer so there is really no one party to blame. I'm juat glad he has made teh strides to be what he is today.

Wow, I guess you'll never see another WWE PPV again then.

Or TNA.

Maybe ROH though.

Honestly, I don't think even Attitude era PPV's would be worth 40 bucks. But that's especially true when you consider if they still did Attitude era numbers, the shows wouldn't be 40 bucks to begin with.

People who complain about a lack of wrestling, or an over-abundance of crappy storylines SHOULD buy the ROH PPV's. For about 10 or 15 bucks, you'll get more wrestling in those 2 hours than you usually get in about a month of WWE or TNA programming.

The only PPV that I think should cost 40 bucks is Wrestlemania because its usually 4 hours and you can expect WWE and its performers to go all out. Other than that, I agree with your statement... If you're going to tell your fans to buy more PPV's nowadays, the least you could do is lower the price for the shows. Or you know, get rid of some of the more meaningless PPV's.

That probably will not happen until Captain Invincible dies. (or will he ever die?)

Hey, I am willing to pay 40 dollars to see Captain Invincible getting pinned clean. Until then, fuck Vince and his stupid company.

I know I was supposed to post yesterday, but my neighbor was unavailable. As for tonight, my comp time's almost up, so I've had tonight's RAW taped - after just getting done watching last week's RAW. There's definitely more I want to comment on, but it'll have to wait a while.

You know, I'll give Cena credit; he's even starting to like the 'YOU SUCK!' chants he gets from the other half of the audience. :P

Also, my neighbor didn't get to taping ECW, but I did get to see Punk's cracking Chavo over the noggin with a mariachi guitar during the recap, though. You know, even though that whole 'wrestler in disguise ambushes other wrestler' thing has been done to death, that was still funny. :P

Good for him; it sorta' explains why we haven't heard from him in a while. However, I think it might also have to do with his wearing a Paul Heyman costume at the Halloween match; I bet Stephanie forced him out for a while.

Sad part is that in a couple of years another roided-up dude with an amateur background will show up and get the same push.

At least it sounds like he didn't do too bad.

I just finished watching Raw and, I wanna make notes of a couple things.

Like how friggin awesome the Jeff Hardy promo/angle at the end was. The is a person who is creatively responsible for this, and they should be damned proud of it. Hardy delivered in a big way too, as what he was saying really felt like it was coming from him and not from a script. Going out into the crowd and shaking the fans hands instead of Ortons was genius.

Ah, so that's what happened; nice way to do it, not to mention fresh rather than the usual 'shake -then-beat-senseless' thing that often happens. This was a more disrespectful (to Orton) way of doing it.

The deal is that in return for protecting Horny, Finlay gets a surgery which makes him 7"6' so he can defeat Khali.

That sounds like a good thing either way; The American Dream can't do any worse than the previous.

Going back to one show a month is a good idea, hell, I think even bi-monthly could be good from a buildup perspective, but you'll never see them do less then one a month, like you'll probably never see the shows decrease in price again. WWE needs to stop with the gimmicks to inflate numbers and improve show quality, bars dropping them has hit their buyrates hard, and without a product being produced people want to see, they won't get that audience back anytime soon.

I liked it, but I couldn't help but snicker when he said "last night's Friday night Smackdown."

Raw was decent last night, but to be perfectly honest I was so damn tired that nothing really held my attention for too long. I did like the 6 man tag match, another good outing by most involved... Cept Snitski since he sucks.

Cena lifting Mark Henry was worth me not turning off Raw to see an arm wrestling match. I don't care who you are, lifting a guy that big, holding him, then flipping him is an impressive sight.

Vince needs to keep his pants on.

Did Mickie James get injured by that landing or was she just selling that shit? I couldnt tell.

She was just selling far as I know, I haven't read anything saying that she's injured.

Truthfully, this was the first time I was disappointed with RAW. Nothing was interesting. I was close to mad at the arm wrestling thing.

Come on. Mark Henry's arms are way bigger than Cena's. Cena was gonna win?? (BULLSHIT!!!!!!)

But yes, Cena picking up Mark Henry WAS impressive.

ECW was good last night. Dreamer and Morrison had a good bout as did Punk and Chavo. Even though the match itself was silly, (Throw the guy in the water) they still did a good job.

Great interview segment with Stevie. I'm looking forward to seeing his return.

That Kofi guy has some good moves, but they really need to lay off on the slow stuff next time. The crowd was very near to chanting "boring." Other than that... damn he's agile.

lol for fuckin real. She landed SO NASTY on one foot and it looked like her knee broke when she landed from the top of the turnbuckle. Then she mustve saw how bad it look cus she IMMEDIATELY grabbed that knee and milked the fuck out of it. I marked so hard. I thought her knee was fucked.

Also, that match had a sick ass DDT at the end of it.
