That's cold dude. :P

Offering something to their fans is a good move on TNA's part. With Jeff going back to trial soon they should just cut their losses and let him go. Jeff is more than likely going to face some jail time and the fact that he showed up to work under the influence isn't going to help his case.

Thing is, they should never have let him go out there. Had he even attempted a real match someone could have been seriously hurt. Whoever gave the ok to even show such a thing on their show should be held responsible.

Sorry, can't hear you over the immense amount of talent DBD has and the uproarious chant that is "YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR FUCKING HEAD KICKED IN!"

I like what they are doing with Cody, it's a good build up. I was expecting him to show up during the DiBiase match but not every dream can come true.

Afew good matches yesterday, I like how they are putting Brodus Clay in action.

I also love how "The Corre" showed abit of their old aggression yesterday.

I was on vacation for a week so I had to catch up on stuff. Saw SD last night and it was good all around. Besides the Divas match, which I skipped, I can hardly say a bad thing about it.

I actually like what they're doing by repackaging Sheamus with the US title. Even though it happened before I started watching again, his quick shot to the main title was not the right way to go. This will let him have competitive matches and remain a dominating heel. I especially like that he's won his last two matches clean. Sheamus may be a dick, but he's big enough that he can beat the shit out of you without the cowardly heel act. The match with Kofi was solid, and both had a good outing.

I also thought that both men in Dibiase vs. Mysterio looked good as well. We expect the usual performance from Mysterio, but Dibiase has either been holding back or Mysterio made him look good, because he wrestled his ass off in that match from the looks of it. I also think that they should have Ted go to Smackdown and maybe have a reuniting with Rhodes because it seems like his talent is going to waste on Raw.

Poor Trent Baretta. I kind of want him to start competing on the show more often. Seems to have potential.

Not that it was hard, but I predicted that the Corre would retain the Tag Team titles through DQ in some way. Not really surprising, but I'm wondering what they're all going to be doing for Wrestlemania. Maybe a handicap match of Big Show and Kane vs. The Corre.

The cage match with Del Rio and Christian was fantastic. It also showed that Christian could run with a main title contender. Maybe they'll give him a title push after Wrestlemania depending on how it goes. Also Edge looked hilarious in Del Rio's car.

Oh and I guess Drew got the night off.

I really need to catch up on this weeks episode and I'm sure I'll have some thoughts when I do. But I'm not shocked SD! was a good show this week, even if it's not eye poppingly great, SD! is almost always good. Sometimes instead of reinventing the goddamn wheel, you should just stick to the formula that's worked for oh...a hundred fucking years or so now.

Sheamus may be a dick, but he's big enough that he can beat the shit out of you without the cowardly heel act. The match with Kofi was solid, and both had a good outing.

I also like that Sheamus is going back to being the character we knew before the whole "King" gimmick which resulted in an idiotic costume and I think a loss of direction for him. It didn't fit, glad they realized that and pushed on. I disagree wholeheartedly however with the idea that he should not have gotten the belt. Sheamus was given a golden opportunity, he handled it like a trooper and he broke the fuck out. To me it was similar (though obviously nowhere near the same) as when WWE put that faith and did the same thing with The Undertaker in '91. There's nothing wrong with a push to the moon on a guy who deserves it, the problem is that WWE likes to push the guy to the moon, then crash him back down and fuck with him to "test him" but the problem is the audience at large doesn't understand that kind of messed up thinking so you just wind up potentially ruining an asset in the process.

I also thought that both men in Dibiase vs. Mysterio looked good as well. We expect the usual performance from Mysterio, but Dibiase has either been holding back or Mysterio made him look good, because he wrestled his ass off in that match from the looks of it.

Ted is wrestling for his job at this point really. He went from a position where it looked like he was going to be a break out babyface, to working a match at last years Mania with one of the top guys in the company, to really no way he's getting on the show this year. Even if they do a US title multi-man I have to wonder if they'd even put him in it.

I also think that they should have Ted go to Smackdown and maybe have a reuniting with Rhodes because it seems like his talent is going to waste on Raw.

I think Ted has to get a change of scenery. But reuniting with Rhodes I think just hurts Rhodes at this point. Cody has risen in proportion to how far Ted has fallen, something that looked totally impossible a year ago. I think to team with Ted again is a major step back for Cody and there's no benefit to him in doing it until Ted has been built back up. I think it might be better if you're going to do any sort of team or alliance to maybe have Ted do it with McIntyre based on this idea of putting people on notice and trying to take respect.

Poor Trent Baretta. I kind of want him to start competing on the show more often. Seems to have potential.

Who? Rent don't buy...and see if you can get that rent dropped before the end of April buddy...

It is an idea I've heard floated around.

I see Christian continuing to put Del Rio over after Mania, and kind of falling into that role for his career. In the end, Christian is just not a guy that either company thinks can carry the ball long term, and I tend to agree, he's a great worker, a good character, but he's not on the level of his pal Edge. In the end though, he's still in a spot a lot of guys would kill for and it's a position of "the unsung hero".

Oh and I guess Drew got the night off.

Which is scary to think about if you're Mr. McIntyre. I've always been behind this kid and I really hope WWE commits to rebuilding him after Mania, enough is enough, he married an idiot but she's gone now. Stop punishing the guy over one bad decision.

If anyone remembers the end of RAW this week, the main event WAS supposed to be E&C vs. Gabriel & Slater for the Tag Titles; I'm actually glad they changed that. There wouldn't have been any previous buildup for it, more or less a reason. Instead, we got a better main event, and a match that made The Corre look threatening again. In other words, it all worked out for the better.

Here's hoping Masters shows up at Cole vs. Lawler & sticks the Master Lock on Cole. C'mon, let Masters have something memorable in his career.

I think DiBiase's already been moved to SD, hence the SD logo next to his name instead of the RAW one. He put on a great match, too; so, if they're looking to repackage him, it's a nice start.

Kofi vs. Sheamus was THE match of the night.

Cody's new music REALLY fits the mood, don't it?

Didn't realize the lack of D-Mac until just now. Hope this doesn't mean anything.......

Monday night RAW was awful, seriously. Hope they blow us away next week.

Threatening? Did we watch the same show? WWE killed off all their heat when Kane and Big Show decimated them and ran them off. I'm hoping they regroup on SD! Friday and then put these guys over at Mania. WWE really has to remember you can't just SAY a group is dominant, they have to actually SHOW us they're dominant.

Here's hoping Masters shows up at Cole vs. Lawler & sticks the Master Lock on Cole. C'mon, let Masters have something memorable in his career.

Why? Masters is pretty useless and I imagine he's gone after Mania if there's any justice.

If they did, they didn't update it on the site yet. I think it's a good idea since he's been scorched earth on RAW and there was no reason to once again have him get destroyed like that. None. We know what Triple H can do, there's 13 years of footage that can be used to show us what he can do. He doesn't need to be killing off future assets for the WM match.

Kofi vs. Sheamus was THE match of the night.

Cody's new music REALLY fits the mood, don't it?

Orton's wife should never be on TV again. As much as I enjoyed Punk getting some heat, her "performance" was like nails on a chalkboard. It was painful to watch and listen to.

I don't think he is but DiBiase seems like an obvious draft pick this year.. expect him to be on SD before this year is over..

People keep talking about a draft. Is there one after Wrestlemania every year?

And I started reading Chris Jericho's new book Undisputed. I'm really enjoying it so far and I want to know what his "Nitro Dance" looks like.

He's on dancing with the stars right now so maybe we will. From what I've heard, his new book is a really great read. I'd like to have a look as well, but I feel like I should read his first book before that. I really need to hunt those two books down.

I sure hope they make up for the lousy Raw on SD this Friday. I know they are still trying to put some things into motion for WM, but it was just not done well. I am glad we will be getting a U.S. Title match this year. Should be a good bout.

Doubt he'll bust it out for DWTS, but it'd be great if he did. You can find his first book too for very cheap, and as someone who's read it, it's very much worth the read.

It hasn't always been after Mania, but usually it is. It's a smart idea by WWE as it allows them to freshen up the rosters and it always gives at least a handful of talents a new chance to shine. Successful recipients of a draft include: Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, John Morrison (when he was on SD! more then RAW), Cody Rhodes. It consists usually of one of three hour RAW shows and then there is a "supplemental draft" on WWE.com where they move more undercard guys around.

Somebody said this week they thought they'd peaked the Mania hype early this year, I kind of agree. I think they've exhausted pretty much anything they can do at this point to sell you on the show, so when they got to Monday they phoned it in. There's really no excuse for that though when it's the biggest show of the year and gets the most buys BY FAR and really sets the tone for you. I too hope SD! will recover, but again, probably the best you can hope for is some good wrestling and decent storyline development, doubt it'll be earth shattering stuff.

I think next week should be interesting. Far as the US title bout, it's like anything else, how good it is is going to be all about how much time they're willing to give it.

Alright, lemme' think here a second as not to get anything wrong like last time (which has been addressed in the quoted section).....

People seem to think RAW sucked this week. It admittedly wasn't as good as previous weeks, but it wasn't horrible by any means.

Cole interrupted another Divas match, and Eve finally slapped him OVER THE COLE MINE. Add yet another pissed-off Superstar to the list of people most likely to help Lawler in the WM match by some means.

And, then, of course, he screwed up during the Intergender Match. Granted, there haven't been many of those in quite a while, but for shit's sake, SHOW UP FOR REHEARSAL - unless he was to do that on purpose....

Uh, what the shit did Riley say he was, now? Vice President of Shitty Jokes? Meh, whatever, Cena made him his bitch for roughly 10-15 minutes straight.

Punk reminds us he's actually more deserving of the title "Motherfucking" than Orton is. :P

Glad Bryan's now slated for WM, despite the fact that Sheamus WILL retain.

Regardless of this week's, next week's promises to be much better, by the looks of it.

Saw Miz on Conan earlier; laughed my ass off.

I DID watch some of Dancing With The Stars to see Jericho, but I guess he was booked to have his dance during RAW, unfortunately. (That first girl contestant was hot, though, so it wasn't a waste......)

As far as rules go, the basic BBS stuff applies. Try not to be a jerk and everything will be fine. The only additional rule I can think of is to not post video of stuff WWE or TNA owns unless its from either their own site or one they are a part of, like hulu. WWE in particular is protective of the the stuff they own and we don't want to ruin a good thing by making them mad at the NG guys.

I am a HUGE fan of the WWE, and I have been since I was a kick. I'm 21 right now, so I actually grew up with the Attitude Era, which in my opnion, was the best.

I did too. I started watching around 97 or 98. The Attitude Era was indeed awesome.

Moving on, my favorite WWE superstars are quite basic, The Rock, The Miz, Sheamus, Kane. Many others, but just listing a few.

Good taste thus far.

With all of that being said.....I AM FUCKING PUMPED FOR WRESTLEMANIA XXVII!!!

As am I. I'm sure the rest of the club is tired of me saying it, but I'm actually going to the PPV this year. I'm really excited about it!

There is no excuse then. Calling out for help really isn't that complicated of an emotion to portray. I guess I'm a little picky here, since it is only wrestling, but if an a wrestler is a poor actor, he makes up for it by actually wrestling. If you are just going to be screaming for help for five seconds, you should at least be decent at it.

I've preferred Smackdown much more over Raw for the past couple of weeks. Mostly because there's been more actual wrestling and less WM hype. I understand it's the season for it, but still, I've seen HHH-Undertaker hyped like 5 times now.

Unfortunately, I started watching it right around when it was just ending....

Smackdown! is a better pure WRESTLING show then RAW. The "sports entertainment" variety show ga ga elements are toned down and we get more logical stories and characters for the most part. Take Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio for instance, look at how simple the story for that feud is:

Rey screwed up Cody's face and Cody believes Rey has ruined his life. Cody is a horrible person to begin with so he'll do anything he has to to get back at Rey.

Contrast that with a lot of the over the top shit you see on RAW, or some of the outright goofy stuff they do (like guest hosts) and it's pretty easy to see why I prefer the blue brand to the red most times. That said though, RAW has some fantastic characters and workers as well. The problem is they are sometimes overshadowed by other bad ideas on the show, or things that don't really belong or enhance the product.

Yeah, but the fact that Cody looks exactly the same as before his "broken nose" is what makes it crazy and entertaining.

DON'T LOOK AT HIM! His nose is a fraction of a centimeter off!

Seems someone else with TNA has been caught under the influence...Kurt has hit the bottle

I went and saw the movie "Paul" last night so I missed SD. Read the results and saw that Wade Barrett is now the IC champion. Think they'll have a rematch at Mania? I'm glad they finally gave him a title. I think he can handle himself well in that role.

From the looks of it there were a few matches I would have liked to have seen, like Rey vs. CM Punk as well as Christian vs. ADR. How was the actual show?

............Okay, so I WASN'T confused on which SD was which last week.............so I've made myself an even bigger idiot than I previously thought........

Fuck it; let's just focus on THIS WEEK:

Wade finally has a title, leaving Big Zeke as the only one w/o gold among them. Foreshadowing a future World Heavyweight Champion, maybe? Having all 4 of them with titles would be a great way to kick off things post-Mania.

The Rhodes/Mysterio feud gets more interesting, as Cody busts out a knee brace - and Rey's nose with it.

Drew gets buried again. By Edge again. I hope to hell this isn't what his future holds......

Show & Kane are MIA for some reason.

Let's see.........Master Lock, Lie Detector, probably a kick to the nuts by Eve, possibly a Spear, a Stunner...........Cole's gonna end up in a body cast after the Mania match is over, even BEFORE Lawler even starts taking shots at him.

The end was great, with Christian stopping Edge from blowing his Mania match, and Edge being his deranged self.
