I like that, but I think what I would do if I'm booker is I have Hardy/Christian at NWO, with it being like "you have to win Jeff or you don't get a title match for Mania" so he does. Then Christian gets added because Edge wants insurance, but they start planting that seed of tension because Christian would like to be champion, and Edge is mad that by losing Christian has put him into a matchup with Hardy. Then I think you have Hardy win it again so he can have that big moment at Mania. That also lets WWE get another drug test out of Jeff with enough time to make sure they wouldn't book him in a main event he wouldn't be available for.

Guess that feuding with a ME level star like Jeff Hardy is a good start for Christian. Hopefully, those two will bring on some good matches.

I don't doubt they would.

Whats up? I am here to join this club. However, before i join we all know wrestling is staged right?

Anyways my favorite wrestler is Rey Mysterio.

Why did Jeff paint his face. He looks super emo with the painting, no kidding.

He does it 'cause he is, indeed, some random drughead emo doing weird backflips 'n such and wearing armwarmers to hide his "marks."

Oh, yeah, the paint. He says it's a form of "self-expression." Pfft.

It has been many years since H won a WM match. It also have been many years since he won the RR match. Since H is the king of backstage who happens to have mega ego, I unfortunately see him winning both the RR match and the WWE title at WM. The reason? Steph loves to bounce on H's cock MAD. :\

I'm just looking forward to the eventual match between Edge and Christian vs. The Hardys. That was one of my favorite fueds in the attitude era, and I'm sure if given the chance they could do some amazing stuff again. TLC anyone?

Raw was eh. There were some good matches here and there but it wasn't the best Raw they have done. CM Punk vs Regal was good up until the finish but I'm glad that there will be a rematch with the stipulation of if Regal gets DQ'ed he will lose the IC title.

I did like the stip but Steph's comment was retarded. Because if you're not going to let the first title match of 09 end that way then uh...why don't you RESTART THE MATCH?! What? It's suddenly not in her power to do that? To go with what they did as the finish, Steph really should have chose her words better.

Lame. The creative team fail, that is the bottom line.
They could have push an uprising baby face by having him with a monster heel in Kane, instead they bring on this stupid nonsense.
Just get it over with already. >:(

ECW was pretty good last night. We now know that Swagger will get his title shot next week. I hope Hardy can beat him. Swagger's match with Finley was a good opening match and Henry vs. Hardy was well done too.

The worst is yet to come: the whole creative team are bound to kiss H's butt and having him ELIMINATE EVERYONE in the RR before destroying Edge at WM in 10 seconds. >:O

I think I'm gonna start calling you "Drama-of-Duke" soon. Is there a possibility H will win the Rumble? Yessir, there is, but I think Randy Orton for one has an equally good shot (I'm also wondering if No Way Out will feature two chambers with the Rumble winner facing the champion on that show again? Fuck I hope not. I think breaking out the Chamber gimmick just the once is fine). There is no earthly way he will eliminate everyone in the rumble or beat anyone in 10 seconds at Mania. It just won't happen so stop sounding so damn ridiculous. You don't like Triple H, we get it, stop acting stupid about it now already. God.

I'm still hearing Christian will be debuting shortly (if he hasn't already) on SD! as the Jeff Hardy attacker. Yet another guy I'm reading was unhappy with the TNA creative direction and took a walk, though he was pretty much guaranteed a main event level position if he stayed. That's not good TNA! Like I say, I think what is obvious is that Jeff Jarrett is the real power behind that company, and he really needs to decide if he wants to have a legitimately competitive wrestling entity, or just a boutique promotion for his buddies to keep making money from.

But yeah, I think it's a two man Rumble field right now to my mind, because I just don't see WWE prepping anyone beyond the obvious to head into the Mania title position right now. I would love for them to prove me wrong, but the storylines as stands 3 weeks out say it's probably a two man race at present.

I am a huge Orton mark and of course I want him to win the RR. But why are they having H feuding with Vickie? The only reasonable explanation is that they will have H do a John Cena (overcoming all the odds) and win the RR. In addition, do not forget that Orton attacked Cena a few weeks ago and he does not have to win the RR to feud with Cena. H, on the other hand, is feuding with Vickie. If he does not win the RR, there will be no way for him to feud with Edge at WM for the title because Vickie is the GM. As much as I want Orton to win, I somehow doubt it.

You're assuming Edge is getting the belt at RR, which I do not believe is in any way a real and true lock. Hardy has had problems, but like I say, a quick drug test of his ass prior to NWO and a clean pass would be more then enough I'd think for WWE to feel like if he is booked into Mania as the championship match there won't be an issue. H to me still has that unresolved issue with Kozlov they could go back to if they want. Personally I think if they did put the belt on H and move to Edge and H cutting Hardy out of the picture it's an oppurtunity missed as I think Edge screwing Hardy at RR, Hardy battling back into the Mania picture and prevailing would be a great story the fans would eat up.

In this current situation, with Christian very likely to return soon, I could easily him screwing over Hardy at the RR, and then Edge feuding with HHH leading into Mania, and Hardy/Christian feuding.
Though, I suppose it could be equally likely for Hardy to retain and feud with Christian and HHH/Edge just be a grudge over Vickie's abuse of power.

That is what I have been trying to tell avie.

You ignored that H wants to beat Flair's 16 major title reigns before he retires and he is obsessed with power right now. I am not a blind hater, I am just telling you the truth.

The Royal Rumble has always been one of my favorite events. That match always has a good mix of drama, comedy and excitment. Even if it's usually the top guys who win it, there is always the off chance that someone who is on their way up through the ranks will pull off a victory.

HHH may want to break Flairs record, but he isn't stupid. He's smart enough to know when not to dominate the title and when to let others have a shot. Sure he has more pull in these choices but in the end Vince has the final say.

And I hear you, but there's also my alternate story which you either disregard as a good possibility because you just want to believe H will stop at nothing to get the belt. Or you don't like it and don't want to tell me so.

No, you are a fairly blind hater. Where do you get this from seriously? H's track record over the last couple of years has been pretty good. He put Hardy over clean a time or two, yeah he had a long reign with the belt, but with Hardy on "probation" and Edge out of the picture who was there to put it on other then him? WWE has done a poor job overall of building new talent, but I haven't seen evidence of H outright burying guys lately like he has in the past. You also have to realize too that in a situation like this, where an active main eventer on the roster has power over creative as well that some guys are always going to run them down and blame that person for their failures vs. their own shortcomings. If you follow ROH at all, I'm sure pretty soon the same sort of stories will be coming out about Austin Aries soon because he's on their booking team.

My point is not to say H is a saint, or he's never done anything wrong. Of course he isn't, and of course he has. He isn't the nicest guy in the world apparently, and he has misused his power and position, but my point is let's keep it in perspective, and let's be fair to the guy too. You can't always run him down and never put over his positive qualities too. Plus, it's not like there aren't guys on the roster who are racking up quite a impressive list of world title reigns themselves. Edge could wind up clinching his 7th title win at the RR. That would put him if I'm not mistaken at 1 more title reign then even Hulk Hogan had in the WWE.

Also props to Edge on obtaining the no. 1 spot on the billboard charts for his new DVD (which I just finished yesterday and I must say it's pretty frickin sweet)

Only time will tell, you will have to admit that I am right after the RR.

No, you are a fairly blind hater.

If memory serves right, H had only been pinned ONCE during the entire 2008 and that was when he lost his title to Edge. The only reason why he got pinned was because the WWE had to keep Kozlov's unpinned streak alive. H is one of the biggest stars in the company, but getting pinned just once for the whole year pretty much tells you all you need to know about his ego.

Well, we'll see how many times H gets pinned tonight in his 3 matches.

Could be, but that could also be creative too. How many pinfall jobs have John Cena or Batista done lately? How about Shawn Michaels? Hmmm? WWE has shown that when a superstar reaches a certain "level" like the ones I mentioned, they apparently feel they should not be doing pinfall or submission jobs very often (unless maybe it's to each other). So again, one could make a case about this is an example of the stroke and the ego of H, and that well COULD be. But there's also some evidence that when we look at the top top babyfaces in the company that sort of situation is just a matter of policy, and not entirely exclusive to the H.

World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Raw Superstar D-Lo Brown and ECW Superstar Bam Neely as of Jan. 9, 2009. WWE wishes them the best in all future endeavors.

Their releases don't surprise me.

PWInsider.com is reporting that Sean Morley, aka Val Venis, has also been released from the WWE. Venis has been with the company for over a decade starting in 1998. He has been out of action for a few months due to an elbow injury.

Venis held the Intercontinental, European, and Tag Team Championships (w/ Lance Storm).

Referee Jimmy Korderas was released today by WWE. He joins Mike Posey and Keenan Quinn as referees WWE released this week. Korderas has been with WWE/WWF since 1987.

I finally beat Lord Kooler to the punch with the release information!!

Kinda sad about those two. They had been with the company for such a long time. Especially Korderas.

WWE has also released Kevin Thorn.

So is the WWE planning on making Christian responsable for the car accident? That is ummm, different. It is a shame D'Lo got released, he only had a few matches since coming back. I never saw Bam Neeley in the ring, so I don't know how big of a loss it was. Wow even Val? Who is next, Funaki?

Sescoops.com is reporting:
The idea of a Trish Stratus vs. Michelle McCool match at WrestleMania was discussed at a creative meeting last week. Many felt a Beth Phoenix vs. Stratus match would be good, but officials felt they've done it already with the mixed tag match a few weeks ago. After Stratus' performance in her match on Raw, the feeling is that she's still good enough to pull out a decent match with McCool that would be entertaining. There is also hope that the rub from Stratus would help McCool get over.

Cena got pinned by Batista cleanly and he also missed most of 2008 due to injuries.
Batista was also pinned for at least a few times, so was HBK.
Avie, stop defending H. He is a selfish son of a bitch, admit it.
Oh, did I mention that H just destroyed The Miz and Morrison?

Anyone see SmackDown this night? Triple H did well for his first two matchs but got his ass kicked by Big Show in the end.

Also Undertaker beat the shit out of Shelton Benjamin. Lol.

Also MVP got attacked by BoogieMan.

That just proves my point. It's fine to do pinfall jobs to other mega stars/

Batista was also pinned for at least a few times, so was HBK.

By low level or non-main event talent though?

Avie, stop defending H. He is a selfish son of a bitch, admit it.

I know he is, but he also isn't the great Satan you make him out to be either I think. There's believing a guy is selfishly motivated and can be harmful to business without all the wild accusations you throw around seemingly not caring that H has shown over the past few years a willingness to stay away from the title (last year excluded).

Oh, did I mention that H just destroyed The Miz and Morrison.

Looks to me like he beat them, not destroyed them. Destroying them would be them getting in no offense whatsoever.

Thats my feeling on it too. I'm thinking that Christian is the guy behind all these things going wrong for Jeff which will really help to set up their fued. I hope WWE lets Christian stay in the ME for a little while to see what he can do. If done right he could be one of the biggest heels on SD right next to Edge.

MVP's VIP lounge got repo'ed...A sad day indeed.

Avie, both of us have to admit that the Miz/Morrison are the best tag team right now and these two have great talent. I am a little bit peeled to say the least to see both of them jobbing to H.
