:It's cheap, and it gives me the wrong kind of heat, it's not "oh I want to see him get his" heat it's "jesus christ stop this fucking stupidity!" heat. The ratings in the quarter hours were slightly down again, so it looks like I'm not the only one.

For serious. Its so bad for Regals character. It makes him look like an asshole rather than an evil bastard. I just hope the majority of marks dont hold a grudge against him thinking "I hate Regal because he has the power to shut off the show and does it at his discretion." I hope people realize his power over raw is utter kayfabe, otherwise Regal is going to pay for Vinces utterly shitty booking decisions.I was so happy to see Regal come up at first, and psyched as hell for a program with him against Punk, now Im at the point where Im like "If hes going to do it this way, Im starting to wish that they never put him over". Because Id rather my favorite wrestler not come up like THIS. Its making him look cheap and sad.

UGH CREATIVE GET OFF YER ASS AND WRITE SOMETHING BETTER. They could let him improvise on the mic and get WAAAY better heel heat than he is right now.

So WWE has announced that because they defeated that extraordinary team of Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely this week, Kane and CM Punk have earned a WWE Tag Title shot at JD.

Yes, a one night, non-team, where one of them is supposed to be a world champion singles wrestler, gets a shot by beating a cruiserweight and his bodyguard...of course they deserve a title shot! Makes perfect sense! I'm just going to sit in this corner now and quietly mumble to myself.

At least Punk is going to have a match for this PPV, my fear though is they'll put the titles on him and Kane so one of them ultimately turns and Punk uses his title match for revenge or something.

Because they had a stare down to close the show?

Well...it is the WWE so the creative team does not have to make sense. Plus, the WWE fails to make sense more than it does.

Yep, that is a strong possibility. P.S: Do you really think that he can win the WWE title or the WHC title when he cashes in with the way he has been booked?

I don't think Kane and Punk should get the tag titles. Thats just bad for all involved. Kane obviously doesn't need it, and it would tarnish what Miz and and Morrison have accomplished as dominent champions. And if what you guys are saying is true, how Punk and Kane would be made to fued, do we really want to see Punk turn in his briefcase for the ECW title? No, we want him to go elsewhere. Had Punk been with somebody else I might have thought otherwise, like if they paired him with Stevie again, but this is not the way it should go.

It's weird, I heard that she was gonna do PR work for WWE. I guess she doesn't have the marketability of Flair.

I thought that they would keep her since she has been around for so long.

Oh, he can win it, anybody can win it. Can he be credible though? No, I think not. But again, WWE has until Wrestlemania next year to have him cash it in, so I don't understand why they keep missing all these opportunities on pulling the trigger on really pushing him. Like I say, why do you give the guy the MITB if there's no real effort to elevate him with it? I don't get that, I'll never get that. I'll never understand why they keep bringing him to the cusp of doing good and interesting stuff with him, and then just backing off and dropping it. It's fucked up, just plain fucked up and frustrating!

Well...remember that Jeff was supposed to be the man who won the MITB briefcase before he fucked up? Afterwards, they had to find someone else because Jeff was a moron to fail the drug test. From the way that Punk has been booked since WM, I doubt that the creative team has come up with a plan to push him yet. It is pretty fucked up, but hey, it is the WWE we are dealing with.

No, see, that isn't a fucking excuse. It just isn't. If they didn't want to push the guy to the top, then they should have given the shot to somebody else, there were other guys in that match they've been more behind, and with 12 months, they could easily build them up. That's not me knocking the choice they made, giving it to Punk was a great choice, the problem here is that if they gave it to him with no plans to elevate him, it's a waste of everyone's time. MITB is a great tool for making new main event level players, and even if they have no intention of Punk winning a major title off of it, big wins beforehand, going the distance with the champion he meets before he meets the champion and then loses after a great, tough bout, could make him into a real bonafide player. But right now? He's RVD, he's the guy that the fans love, but the company just won't quite get behind. I have to ask how long they can keep doing that though before people just lose interest? That's my fear, that they'll wait too long, and burn out only but the hardest of the hardcore Punk marks when and if they ever finally decide to pull the trigger on him.

I'm suprised they let Morrison be as dominant as he was last night. It was really great to see him be able to get some impressive offense in. Edge being the ultimate opportunist strikes again!

I thought SD was well done last night. Each tournament match felt like it meant what they were fighting for. Each match was well worth seeing. The outcome of teh battle royal will just make people hate Edge and Vicky even more than they already do.

I hated the idea of rendering the tournament, and therefore all the work on the show worthless. Enjoyable stuff? Sure, but still pointless filler for the most part.

I'm suprised this didn't happen sooner. Though to be honest I think they could have at least given her a non wrestling job, like media promotions or something. I just hope she has enough saved up from her time in the buisness to live on and to try and heal her injuries. From what I have heard, she has been suffering from a back injury so thats not something to take lightly.

I hear she asked for her release. She has a clothing store and all starting up, and she'd done pretty much everything she could, she had a great run for a primarily non-wrestling female. Best of luck to her.

Holy shit guys!!! I just got front row tickets to The Great American Bash! I'm near the aisle, so I can high-5 some of the wrestlers!

That's very awesome man! Make sure to take lots of pictures, and for your sake, hope the card and show doesn't suck. GAB is one that usually does for some strange reason. Though with all PPV's being multi brand the chance of that isn't as bad as it used to be. Though the drawback of that is the fact that the guys on the lower part of the card on each brand has less of a chance of getting on the PPV. That was one thing I always liked about the separate brands, there was more opportunity for the wrestlers on the lower end of the card to get some air time and possible PPV time. It also made the matches featuring wrestlers from separate brands feel like it meant more than it does now.

I am very disppointed that Taker vs Edge at JD is not a gimmick match yet.
HIAC, HIAC...

Ah, but Trips and Orton are having a cage match aren't they?
Meaning it would be difficult (if not impossible) to have a cage and a cell hanging up there.

Thanks dude, yeah I agree the Great American Bash usually does suck. But hey, it's better a PPV than a normal show, right? I will take tons of pictures, and i'll make sure that i'll make cool chants...lol.

Either you do double cage, or they save that. I think the gimmick here would probably be that they vacated the World Title, and what I'd do here is I'd put it back on Edge, then do HIAC for Summerslam, and probably have Taker win it back, then I'd break those two apart from each other for awhile, maybe come back to it around the end of the year or do something with them at Survivor Series.

Wow, I hate to say this, because they're both so talented, but this Jericho/Michaels feud is really boring the shit out of me.

Also, Jeff Hardy is so fucking EMBARRASSING the way he comes out with that retarded beard and humping the floor and air on his way to the ring. I'm literally embarrassed for the both of us when I see him do that.

This is what happens when you create a situation where somebody needs to turn heel, BUT THEN YOU DON'T TURN ANYBODY FUCKING HEEL!!! I mean, either Michaels really was injured, and Jericho is the scumbag heel who didn't believe it, and beat the shit out of him to prove it, gets proven wrong, then just nails him because he's looking to gratify his own career and ego. If Michaels is faking, then he turns heel for being a coward and a pussy for trying to fool everybody. But neither thing happened, it was just dumb and confusing. I did lol at Michaels saying "For the first time in my career, I faked an injury" I just know that was something to screw with the internet there, had to be.

Jeff got a big pop, but to me, I don't sacrifice poor Umaga for this, unless there's some big thank you push coming, and there are rumblings he could move to SD! and become a big deal over there, what was the point? Umaga has had his own run in with the wellness policy, but not the way Hardy has. This should have been what Snitsky wound up doing tonight, instead of losing to Mr. Kennedy.

That pisses off so much. Its like a "Who gives a fuck?" feud between Michaels and Jericho. What are they both gonna be faces? For fucks sake, somebody turn heel already! I might actually give a shit if they do that.

Im at the point with Umaga that I want to grab every WWF booker by the face and scream at the top of my lungs "you had an AWESOME MONSTER HEEL! If you let him fucking win one of his matches instead of making him the bizzaro version of goldberg, he might actually be menacing and people would see him as a threat! STOP FUCKING HIM OVER! Stop making him the go to guy for squash matches and have him win AT LEAST as many matches as the fucking brooklyn brawler!"

God damn, I am so sick of watching Umanga get his ass kicked on a weekly basis. He just lost to a drug addict with 2 strikes whos claim to fame is jumping off shit, having the worlds gayest chin strap and humping the floor and air on his way to the ring to make all the 12 year old girls in the audience cooze themselves. There should be absolutely no fucking WAY Hardy should EVER beat Umaga. Now when that fucking moron gets caught smoking a glass dick again next week and gets his mid-card ass kicked out of the WWF permanently, Umaga is STILL gonna be the guy who fucking lost to him. If they put the strap on him now the crowd would laugh themselves to death because theyve fucked Umaga over harder harder than male pattern baldness has fucked over Hogan.

Umagas one more loss away from changing the word "Bulldozer" in his nickname to "the somoan brawler"

I dont mean to go on a psychotic rant but Jesus Christ, throw the poor guy a BONE already. When yer jobbing to a guy whos blood type is barbituates and meth theyve basically fucked yer wrestling career PERMANENTLY.

Fantasy match of the day, Kane vs. Kofi kingston, I really do hope this happens soon, Kane can end his "undefeated" streak.

Raw wasn't that bad. Didn't think that Jeff would go over Umaga like that, it looked like he kicked out in time to me. Cade turned on Murdoch, it has been a while since Raw has had an undercard feud that I remember. Cody Rhodes is starting to show some more personality, he just needs a better finisher. The actual main event was good, not the best.

Did Orton get a new song?

Well, he did.

The WWE is just so laughable these days anyway, it's amazing anybody even gives a shit about it anymore.

While I was glad to see Jeff again, I am in agreement that Umaga should not have been the guy doing the job. Jeff has more than likely learned his lesson this time (fingers crossed) and even though he messed up before he is still hugely over. WWE knows this, so they could have chosen anyone to lose to Jeff, but Umaga was the unlucky one.

Other than that Raw was ok. Cade and Murdock split, Santino and Carlito lost due to Santino being an idiot, and HBK kicks Jericho's lights out. I'm not sure why they are going this route, why are they making Jericho look stupid? It makes me want Jericho to put Shawn in the Walls for a long time.

What the hell was the point of this? They were an ok(ish) tag team, not great, but there going to be even worse as singles competitors. No one's gonna give a shit about either of them.

Glad to see Hardy return, shame about Umaga jobbing to him. Still, it was a suprise pin rather than a clear cut win. Umaga making progress on SD!? That would be excellent. Was suprised at how much of a positive reaction Jeff got. His new music sucks :( I know he'll never be there top guy now, but still, I hope they do something worthwile with him. He's always been one of my favorite wrestlers, going back to my single digit age days.

Me too, but I think that was more of a miscue then something that could actually become a storyline point or a way to ease the loss for Umaga. There's a simple idea that WWE could use more of, the idea of a pin that maybe wasn't a pin, or submissions where guys pass out rather then tap. I'm not saying do it all the time, because then it loses it's effectiveness, but it's just a tool in the box they don't seem to use very much.
