So is that stick figure with tits Ashley Massaro. She's out hurt too. I'm wondering if those two are just a case of two girls that are too fragile to be bumping, or two girls that just have never really had the time to practice properly. It's no secret that WWE seems to like to rush divas onto TV.

Raw was decent last night. I'd love to see a fued between Punk and Carlito as they put on a great match. Flair and Vinve had the worst street fight ever. But it was more for story than it was in ring work, and the finish was fun.

JBL destroying Colin was ok too. That kid sure can take a beating.

I thought the main event was fun to watch. That elevated RKO that Cena and Orton did was cool. The RKO is such a cool move too since it can happen so fast and out of no where.

Sucks that Candice is hurt again. I think Avie is right on that they push these girls on tv too fast for them to properly train. It takes a a decent amount of time to train your body to take falls like that, so by not giving the that time, they are more injury prone.. That and WWE frowns upont them if they have any meat on their bones so they have less "padding" to work with.

Bad luck to Candice, I guess she joins Ashley and Torrie on the sidelines.
This could be a good thing if it gets us someone like, I dunno, Mickie James in the bunny match?

Because they were doing so much as tag champions...honestly? Good team, but they've gone nowhere, and at least now we know they won't get fired any time soon.

Is that just me feeling that Santino is playing his comic heel role pretty well? Seriously...this guy is pretty damn good and entertaining as a comic heel.

Actually, Orton connected quite a few RKO's and pinned at least three guys. I like the fact that Umaga and JBL left the ring courtesy of a misfired chairshot. It is a very mgood way to protect the upper card wrestlers, especially Umaga. Had he got pinned by Cena, it is going to completely kill Bastista vs Umaga match up.

Yeah, he's really taken that role and run with it.

ECW was ok last night. Kofi continues to get better and the 6 man tag was a fun match too. It always seems to be Miz who gets pinned though.

Was it just me or did Burke seem to not stand a chance against Kane?

Colin did not pull off the upset win like I thought he might, but it was a good way to make Chavo look good.

There has been something we have all overlooked when we talked about Matt Hardy's return. Sure he should go right after MVP, but he has someone else to take up buisness with. Randy Orton kicked him in the head last time we saw Matt on tv, so it would be nice to see some payback for that too, though it has probably been forgotten by WWE at this point.

They probably would have done something like that if Jeff didn't blow it. I think someone in here had the idea of Jeff winning MITB and Orton winning the main event but Matt gets revenge right after the match, then Jeff cashes in and wins the title.

At this point, it is already too late to pull MVP out of the MITB ladder match. Here is how I will book it. At WM, MVP is on the verge of grabbing the case and then Matt suddenly pops out under the ring and pushes down the ladder. MVP loses the match the two can feud for the U.S title all the way to Summer Slam. I know that many people have MVP winning the MITB match, I still think that he is one year too green to be the main event guy. Let Kennedy win the match and the creative team can get what they left off.

WWE has that card if they want to play it, but the only way they would is if Orton drops down, not Hardy going up. I believe they only did that to add heat to Jeff/Orton. Don't see WWE using it.

True, but like we all can guess, Hardy will most likely go after MVP which is just fine.

There is talk of extending the use of Floyd to after WM. But I guess that depends on how well the actual match goes over.

I'm looking forward to SD, right now it has some of the better storylines going.

Don't be.
It was just squash match after squash match.
Didn't really enjoy it. Although there was some news of a match happening next week. Champion vs Champion. That should be good.

Konnan is suing TNA.

Source: Gerweck.net

Total Non Stop Action Wrestling has been served with a lawsuit by former TNA star Konnan. Konnan, real name Carlos Ashenoff, is suing TNA due to the treatment he received following his departure while dealing with health issues, including hip replacement surgery and a kidney transplant. Konnan left TNA last year, and is now working full-time with AAA.

Konnan looks so bad here, because TNA paid for his hip replacement and what not. This sounds like a guy who's pissed that he got fired when he probably thinks he should have had a job for life based on "I'm Konnan, I'm huge in Mexico!". This is one where I think TNA did as right by him as they could, and they got bit for it.

Jeff got pinned by Orton CLEANLY when he had all the momentum going his way. Now with him being suspended and depushed, there is no way that he will get the better out of Orton when he returns.
P.S: Why the hell is McCool still in SD!? I am tired of those stupid "Diva contest". Move her to RAW and feud with Beth, NOW!!!!!

I meant Matt, not Jeff. Jeff is in no way getting pushed when and if he comes back, unless that company is nuts, and if they're smart, I'd have him tested every month.

Because they need divas on SD!, and because Taker would probably use his stroke to block that move. Yes, that means exactly what it sounds like it means.

My hands down favorite part of SD tonight was the segment between Jericho and MVP. Jericho was his usual funny, entertaining self, and MVP came off great in his role as well. I am looking forward to their match next week, and to what they will do in the MITB match.

I also think that once WM is over Jericho and Carlito should have a fued over the IC title. Carlito and Santino aren't really doing much as a team since we rarely see those belts on Raw anymore. I seriously had to think for a few minutes to remember who had the belts on Raw. Holly and Rhodes aren't exactly making headway huh?

The best match has to go to Miz/Morrison vs. Jessie and Festus. They put on a very solid match that was fun to watch.

Here's an update on Konnan's lawsuit against TNA.

Source: Gerweck.net

As previously reported, Konnan has filed a lawsuit against TNA Wrestling claiming among other things racial discrimination, drug usage among top people and failure to pay for surgery. He underwent a hip replacement in 2007 and was loaned the money where as the company paid for Scott Steiner's throat surgery which he suffered during a show in Puerto Rico. After surgery, he still appeared on
TNA television on a wheelchair. In July of the same year, he underwent kidney transplant after a fan decided to help out and donate his own kidney. The lawsuit says that TNA has 30 days to respond or reach settlement out of court.

That lawsuit seems like it may have some legs afterall. I don't know if TNA has the kind of money to throw around to handle a big claim like this, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

too bad Hulk Hogan is no longer in the scene today, miss his action a lot

You do know that there is no women's title on SD!, right? McCool is one of very a few who can wrestle a little bit. I say sent those divas who cannot wrestle to SD!/ECW and send McCool to RAW. Now Beth is the champ, and we have had plenty of Mickie vs Beth already. Moving McCool to RAW will solve that problem nicely. As for Maria, if she is going to be the next challenger, (she probably will) it is going to be a major laugh stone. SERIOUSLY...

Divas aren't there to wrestle, divas are there to look hot...and date the wrestlers apparently. Plus, Taker will block her moving, because he's dating her, subtlety is lost on j00 apparently my man. I just can't see Taker willingly letting his girlie head to the opposite locker room.

I think the Konnan suit actually seems to have LESS merit to me because of the allegations of drug use by top TNA performers. If it's true he's alleging it, if Meltzer or the PWInsider guys aren't reporting it, I get suspicious. Anyway, back to point, I have to ask this question if Konnan is alleging this:

What does this have to do with Konnan's case, or TNA's liability or obligation to him? Unless Konnan is saying that TNA is PAYING for the drug habits of their wrestlers, and that's why they were not honoring any obligation they had to him, I fail to see how this matters towards his case. This whole thing sounds like typical Konnan, the guy thinks he's bigger then he really was, and I heard stuff where he honestly thinks he made LAX work. If I'm TNA though, I have to fight him if he's accusing my roster of taking drugs, I can't settle because it will send the message of "they paid him to shut up about the drug abuse and go away".

Speaking of drug abuse, Afa Jr. got suspended for a wellness violation. In speaking with a source who knew Jr. from his WXW days, there was absolutely no surprise that he got busted, as it was stated to me, qoute: "Everyone in that federation is on drugs". Ouch.

Well...Undertaker is just too Undertaker to date any diva, not even in storylines. It is time for Vince to give a damn about the women's title again. If not, why bother having the title?

He won't do it in the storylines, to protect his character yes. But he IS only human, and the road can get lonely...

Like I say, the Women's Title in that company will probably never be treated seriously, like I said, for right or wrong, the divas are there as eye candy. To excite young and old male fans, not to be viewed as serious athletes like they tend to be in TNA (and how fucking bizarre is that?)

I rarely see TNA but last time i checked it out there was a woman that looked like she could Gorilla press slam The Big Show if she wanted too. Have WWE ever had a diva over 150 pounds?

It's really a shame too. I remember when the women's division was actually good. Like when Trish, Molly Holly, Victoria, and Lita would all fued over the belt and have some really great matches.

What do you think will go down on Raw tonight with WM so close?

i think it will be a killer raw tonight. it will be all about injuring people before wm. can't wait!!!
