[T-RICH49]

I have not been keeping up with TNA has Sting done any thing besides being shown up in the rafters since coming back?

he has'nt been on tv sice appearing in the rafters

[comahan]

I am pretty anxious on what Jerry does tonight as host. I wonder if he brings Big John(I think that's his name).

Same as every host, with a Springer segment including Santino?

[T-RICH49]

Is Orton a tweener now?he got a massive pop for RKO'ing Rhodes

[T-RICH49]

wanna bet Vince hired the driver?

[T-RICH49]

this Springer segment is AWESOME

[Brodeur]

this Springer segment is AWESOME

I'm glad someone likes it.

[dabears10]

-scGHwJO0IY

She called you a puta. How long has he been calling you a puta?

[MaxV]

Ok, I can't watch this.

[LTgiants]

lol they did the one thing more stupid then the segment they brought out mae young.

[WMD]

Someone please kill me.

[T-RICH49]

ok it lost me at Mea Young...ugghhhh

[NIN1984]

i was hoping for a TNA chant during that Springer segment

[E-Man]

The Jerry segment was pretty predictable outside of Mae Young. Hornswoggle needs to go away really bad. Almost nothing involving him is funny.

[Brodeur]

Inoki!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[comahan]

Worst night in Bret's life!

I DO agree though, I mean, Owens death and a stroke cant compare to a crushed leg.

[MaxV]

My prediction for EC:

HHH wins it for the 5th time.

[T-RICH49]

so assuming the car angle can we assume it's Cena (w/Bret) vs Batista(w.Vince)

[WMD]

Wrestlezone is reporting that the Bret Hart car accident is legit and was not planned.

[Splat]

Wrestlezone is reporting that the Bret Hart car accident is legit and was not planned.

What ever...

[T-RICH49]

even I don't believe that and I used to think wrestling was real(til I was 10).

btw....are they making Orton into a tweener?last night he got a major pop after his RKO's on Rhodes and Sheamus

[T-RICH49]

My prediction for EC:

HHH wins it for the 5th time.



my hope is anyone but Sheamus

[Splat]

even I don't believe that and I used to think wrestling was real(til I was 10).

I don't think WWE is making Orton a tweener the fans are.

Like when HHH was the biggest heel and when his music would hit and there would be a loud cheer and then people would boo.

[Hines]

I hope Sheamus loses the title. He is dominate and it's good he got a push, but the man is boring as all hell. Get someone with character for the title IMO.

http://www.wrestlingnewsworld.com/wwe-news/reported-talent-list-for-wwe-nxt.php

The following names are slated for WWE NXT which debuts next week on SyFy.

* Justin Angel

* Daniel Bryan

* Kaval

* Joe Hennig

* Skip Sheffield

* Brett DiBiase

* Darren Young

* Heath Slater

* Michael Tarver

"The above rookies will be paired with a WWE veteran where they will compete to advance as a full-time member to either Raw or Smackdown. They will also be available to make crossover appearances on the main shows while competing. The original concept was to have eight teams but in this report there are nine listed."

[bearsfan_51]

That's a pretty interesting concept, but I'm skeptical it will work in actuality. There's such a fine line there with kayfabe I think it could get too convoluted.

[Splat]

It's kinda what they were all ready doing with ECW so will see.

[MaxV]

If HHH wins the title, how many is that going to be for him?

[Brodeur]

If HHH wins the title, how many is that going to be for him?

950 billion.

[WMD]

950 billion.
HHH Blows. 5.

[Splat]

Old school Hunter.

HHH Blows. 5.

What a creative name for someone.

[HeavyLeggedWaistBender]

You know its actually Hunter Hearst Helmsley, right?

[NIN1984]

Old school Hunter.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2cf7fb4.jpg

that belt is awesome. WWE needs to bring back all those Reggie Parks titles, they are so classic.

[E-Man]

If HHH wins the title, how many is that going to be for him?

Over 9,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nitschke-Hawk]

I love how 95% of the time Champions don't wear the belt around their waist. Instead, they carry it on their shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

[bearsfan_51]

Actually it would make much more sense physiologically to carry a sack of potatoes around your waste area.

Boom. Roasted.

[Splat]

Major spoiler from TNA's iMPACT tapings tonight. I don't know if people will get mad if I post it (even with the Spoiler tags) so if you want to know, either look it up (It's out there Scully) or PM me and I'll let you know about it.

I think I know what you're talking about.pm me to see if I'm right

[comahan]

I dont really know what youd have pegged as major enough to think itd piss people off even if you threw spoiler tags on it. The March 8 match?

[the_legend_killer]

Yeah. (10 char)

[comahan]

K, just wondering. Cause when I saw what you said, I thought id overlooked a new horsemen being formed or something :(

[bearsfan_51]

Note to TNA: The concept of a hierarchy only works if it is actually logical.

Case in point: Samoa Joe gets a PPV title shot against AJ Styles, despite losing to Desmond Wolfe in his only meaningful match that month and not being on the last PPV at all. Now, after losing to to Styles, you have him back fighting meaningless mid-card fights.

[T-RICH49]

Abraham Washington...time to change the channel

[Brodeur]

Kozlov/Shelton= future tag champs.

[the_legend_killer]

Kozlov/Shelton= future tag champs.

That's one of those random pairings that I think could work.

[T-RICH49]

Kozlov/Shelton= future tag champs.

Kozlov makes Shelyon's mic skills look like Flair's

They can get a woman that can speak and have them form a stable.

[the_legend_killer]

Miz and Danielson, nice combo. I'm anxious to see who they pair with Kaval (Low-Ki). My guess is Finlay.

[WMD]

They can get a woman that can speak and have them form a stable.
Women aren't allowed to speak in WWE. Not for a man, anyways.

Joe had a Feast or Fired title shot that he could cash in whenever he wanted. He chose to take the shot on PPV against AJ. They didnt just give him a title shot out of no where.

Zeke is awesome.

[LTgiants]

What are they going to do with the title now?

[the_legend_killer]

Wow, the lack of Joe Hennig and Kaval in NXT is disappointing. Luckily they got Danielson....errr...Daniel Bryan.

[comahan]

Perhaps Kaval will be doing that long rumored angle with Mysterio now. (Post Mania, id assume, since theres no way Mysterio vs. Kaval would get a singles match at Mania)

[bearsfan_51]

Joe had a Feast or Fired title shot that he could cash in whenever he wanted. He chose to take the shot on PPV against AJ. They didnt just give him a title shot out of no where.
So they should build him up or not do it. Wrestling is fake, you can do whatever you want. They changed lots of angles when Hogan/Bischoff took over.

[Splat]

The best part about ECW being over is no more Abraham Washington Show!!!

I was kinda let down Christian lost he was pretty much the only reason I kept watching ECW, glad to see him make the move to one of the big two.

I also really like that he kept the belt so long I wish WWE would do that with the World titles it makes it so much better and meaningful when some one drops it.

[T-RICH49]

Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair will be making their in-ring debuts in TNA at the March 8th tapings.

Hulk Hogan and Abyss vs Aj Styles and RIc Flair

I also really like that he kept the belt so long I wish WWE would do that with the World titles it makes it so much better and meaningful when some one drops it.

I like long title reigns too, but I don't think that the WWE would book the feuds right. You gotta have some good feuds during a long title reign, or else the title is just a piece of metal that they don't know how to use properly.

I remember when Shelton Benjamin was the IC champ for about 8 months. On paper it sounds like a really good reign, but they really didn't have him in anything memorable. They could have had something big with Randy Orton feuding with him, but they pushed him too hard too fast when he was with Evolution at the time. If they would have had him and Shelton fighting over the IC title longer, it would have been a better build up to his main event status. Instead it was just like Shelton was holding a belt just to hold one.

They missed out on some good feuds back then. I really miss the days to where dudes would go through all kinds of hell to get or keep the IC title.

[Splat]

The Miz will be a world champ one day book it he is really starting to remind me of a young Chris Jericho.

[the_legend_killer]

The Miz will be a world champ one day book it he is really starting to remind me of a young Chris Jericho.

He's shown he's willing to put the work in to improve his wrestling, combine that with his already great personality and yeah, I agree with you. 2010 will be the Year of The Miz.

[Splat]

I forgot to say his new theme song is awesome as well my second fav after Christian's right now.

[comahan]

That opening segment was awesome

[T-RICH49]

great to see Kaz back as himself.I hope this means no more Suicide

[T-RICH49]

what a promo right now by Kurt

[the_legend_killer]

Good and Bad from this iMPACT. Count the opening segment, the Angle/Anderson segment and Kazarian being back as good. Count the Abyss/Hogan/Ring Segment as bad, because it was pretty brutal. But if it gets Abyss back to being a monster and not a *****, then it'll be worth it.

[WMD]

I thought the Ring segment was awesome.

[T-RICH49]

btw was'nt it obvious to everyone else it was Bischoff's henchmen(Wolfe, Rhino, Tomko, Homicide etc) that "abducted" Joe

and yeah I also thought the ring segment was cool

[the_legend_killer]

It put over Abyss in a big way, but maybe it was Abyss's mentally challenged child state that didn't do it for me, but if it does get him back to being an unstoppable monster, then it will be worth it.

[comahan]

That segment was HILARIOUS

Hogan's speech was damn good, too

[E-Man]

I loved the opening and ending segments. TNA has some real good main event talent if they use it right. My big problem is how they're using Samoa Joe and Daniels. These dudes should be at the top of the ladder, but they're jobbing like they shouldn't. Nothing wrong with losing to Kurt Angle, but losing within three minutes is pretty bad for a guy that could have had a really solid 10 minute match. Samoa Joe shouldn't be losing clean to Orlando Jordan at all. I understand that they're trying to push Orlando. Maybe he had something that WWE didn't realize when he was there, but Samoa Joe should be one of TNA's top five guys. He needs to be a monster, and not a guy who loses in the middle of the broadcast to a relative no-name.



And please get rid of Hall and Waltman. Hell Nash can go too. I really don't give a **** about them anymore. They're taking too much time from people that need it. It's not the 90s anymore!

[the_legend_killer]

Joe is getting pushed...............he got kidnapped by ninja's last night!

[Splat]

[MaxV]

What do you guys think will be the Kliq's legacy?

These guys have been involved both in some of the greatest Wrestling moments and some of the worst moments also.

[T-RICH49]

hey Nash is fine.I do however agree with Hall and Waltman

[E-Man]

What do you guys think will be the Kliq's legacy?

These guys have been involved both in some of the greatest Wrestling moments and some of the worst moments also.

They'll go down as one of the most influential groups in wrestling history. Shawn ran WWF back in the day, and Trips gets his way now. Hall and Nash did the same with WCW back then, and they're still around getting perks that no one else could with their legacies. They could be the most powerful backstage stable there has been. At least in my wrestling lifetime they have been.

Individually I think HBK is the best wrestler of all time. That's a personal opinion, but he does get some love as one of the greatest from most wrestling fans. HHH is the same. He' done plenty of things I don't agree with in terms of booking, but the man is very talented. I think Hall is the better talent than Nash, but Nash has been more consistent. Waltman will always be remembered as the guy who never got to the top, but had good talent. For some reason he never really stuck out beyond being a guy with a lot of potential.

[comahan]

Last night seemed to be building back to Joe as a monster. I mean, Bisch was talking about the samoan savage in him, etc. Then he pretty much murdered Orlando Jordan for the entire match until Jordan got lucky with the lung blower. Plus, he was abducted! So hes getting a storyline. Its not like hes being pushed down the card or anything, he just lost a match. Pope lost to Jordan last month and hes more than fine.

[T-RICH49]

this Edge/Jericho fued is gonna be awesome

[islandboy843]

Morrison/Truth seems like a nice duo...Morrison is such a beast though

[WMD]

The Kliq is the closest thing to a union in wrestling we'll ever see..

[Jerry's World]

Im going to MNR next week. Cannot wait.

Any advise for those who have been to a Raw or Smackdown? Like how loud does it get? and can we get autographs?

[T-RICH49]

Jericho and HHH are my EC picks

[bearsfan_51]

Pretty good swerve with Batista. I didn't think they would make Batista-Cena a title match.

[T-RICH49]

Sheamus as Champ > Batista as Champ.stupid swerve IMO Batista/Cena barely deserves to be at WM let alone for the title

[bearsfan_51]

Get real. They are two of the biggest names in the sport and the Hart-McMahon feud is the biggest one in the company.

I know internet smarks don't like either guy, but they constitute about 5% of the people that will buy Wrestlemania.

[Brodeur]

Sheamus as Champ > Batista as Champ.stupid swerve IMO Batista/Cena barely deserves to be at WM let alone for the title

Heel Batista as champ is way better than Sheamus.

[P-L]

Yeah, heel Batista is pretty good.

[comahan]

Heel Batista is money. Seriously, dude is awesome in the role hes in.

This PPV has been kinda... terrible... since the chamber match.

[T-RICH49]

so both chamber matches ended in controversy.yet the last one I totally saw coming

[Brodeur]

There is no such thing as controversy when Jericho wins.

[bearsfan_51]

I heart Jericho.

[P-L]

At least they didn't end that match exactly like everyone in the world predicted they would.

[OSUGiants17]

Edge and Jericho will be the highlight of Wrestlemania. I'm a huge HBK mark, but we saw the matchup with Undertaker last year. It was great, but I don't look forward to it that much. I'm excited, but not on my heels anticipating it. Edge and Jericho though is pretty damn awesome.

[T-RICH49]

just read on Wrestlezone the Undertaker's pyro malfuntioned and set his trench coat on fire.bad night to be Taker

[WMD]

Edge vs Jericho could be a classic.

[T-RICH49]

could?will be a classic is more like it.both guys in terms of in ring and mic skill wiser are at or near the top

[P-L]

I'm not really excited for this rumored WM card. I have high hopes for the Jericho/Edge match, but it's a little disappointing when you already know the result. Undertaker/HBK is going to be a huge let down in my opinion. WWE is going to try too hard to top last year and they are going to go overboard.

Video Of The Undertaker/Pyro Accident.

The Undertaker Livid Over Pyrotechnic Accident (http://www.wrestlingnewsworld.com/wwe-news/the-undertaker-livid-over-pyrotechnic-accident.php)

[bearsfan_51]

I like making lists (it's the A.D.D.)

BF51's top 10 wrestlers under 35

1) Randy Orton
2) CM Punk
3) AJ Styles
4) D'Angelo Dinero
5) Mr. Anderson
6) The Miz
7) John Cena
8) John Morrison
9) Jack Swagger
10) Samoa Joe

[Brodeur]

Mr. Anderson belongs nowhere near a top 10 list, let alone being above the guys you have him above.

[bearsfan_51]

I go back and forth on him, I'm currently pro Mr. Anderson because he made fun of the troops, and anyone that has the stones to do that in front of an audience full of rednecks gets my love.

Seriously, when Kurt was blathering on about how he represents the troops with his fake wrestling I was all like:

http://static.flickr.com/53/109082194_32de7d9bb9.jpg

But then when Mr. Anderson came out and made him look like an ass I was all like:

http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2009/02/LilWayne.jpg


Also, I've made no bones about the fact that I think TNA is a vastly inferior product, so I was trying to be fair by having 4 TNA guys on there.

[T-RICH49]

Joe should be in the top 5 not at 10

[the_legend_killer]

Kudos for the list attempt BF51 and I agree on a lot of it, but Anderson above Joe is chuckleworthy.

[bearsfan_51]

I only put Joe on there because he's popular with TNA fans. His ring psychology sucks. He's fat. And his mic work is mediocre. He's like a fat version of John Morrison come to think of it.

Honestly, other than taking spots, what does Joe do particularly well?

[the_legend_killer]

Who cares if he's fat? He moves better than guys lighter than him. Anderson's kind of the opposite, great on the mic, but average in the ring. (And this is coming from a big Anderson fan)

[bearsfan_51]

I don't consider Joe great in the ring though. He's great at taking spots, and for a fat guy, he can move. Those are positive qualities, but his in-ring psychology and ability to develop a match pales in comparison to a guy like Randy Orton, or even A.J. Styles (who himself is a bit of a "spot guy")

As for why it matters that he's fat, wrestling is based on perception, and Joe looks like a guy who could barely run up a flight of stairs. Sure, I would take that over a guy who looks like Chris Masters but can't move for ****, but ideally you should be both.

[MaxV]

I'd like to see a good Heel faction being added. They haven't had one in awhile. Maybe something with Vince in charge.

[bearsfan_51]

He's over with the limited # of people at the TNA arena. I'm always skeptical of how much that would translate to a 20k seat arena audience. Maybe there are merchandise #'s available.

There was a recent poll on TNA's website (also unscientific, but a bigger sample) for the most popular wrestler in TNA. The top guys outside of AJ Styles were all old WWE guys.

[the_legend_killer]

Where was this poll at? I visit the site fairly often, but have never come across it. Joe was voted Mr. TNA in 2006 and 2007, but they haven't done that in a few years, so who know who they've vote for now.

[bearsfan_51]

It was on the front page, maybe a few weeks ago.

[T-RICH49]

rumor is WWE is considering using the pyro mishap to further the HBK/Taker angle claiming HBK was responsible.also rumor is Taker MAY be at RAW tonight

[P-L]

Chris Jericho is the only wrestler to hold the WWE, World Heavyweight, World Tag Team, WWE Tag Team, Intercontinental, European, and Hardcore championships at some point in his career.

[T-RICH49]

also appearantly there will be MITB qualifying matches beggining tonight

[comahan]

My attempt at a list. My favorite wrestlers atm.

1. The Pope
2. Randy Orton
3. CM Punk
4. Kurt Angle
5. Desmond Wolfe
6. Chris Jericho
7. Mr Anderson
8. The Miz
9. Edge
10. AJ Styles

The Greatest Man That Ever Lived, A Double, Austin Aries... comes in at #11.

Christian comes in at #12, taking a huge fall from his former spot at easily #1 on my list 2-3 years ago. He was AWESOME as the leader of Christian's Coalition. My favorite heel since DX HBK ('97) and NWA Flair (80's). He doesnt get interview time in WWE, and when he does, its the typical stuff that everyone else gets that does nothing to add to character, its just there for story purposes.

[T-RICH49]

my list

1. Edge
2. AJ
3. The Pope
4. Jericho
5. Angle
6. Joe (me and bearsfan will have to disagree on Joe)
7. Mr Anderson
8. Kaz (although techinally he just returned to TNA)
9. Generation Me
10. MCMG

[MaxV]

Chris Jericho is the only wrestler to hold the WWE, World Heavyweight, World Tag Team, WWE Tag Team, Intercontinental, European, and Hardcore championships at some point in his career.

I met him when I went to a TNA Live show last October and I was sold. Next to AJ, he was the most over guy at the show, was the first guy out to sign autographs and the last to leave (At least I assume so, he was the only guy out still signing when I left). Guy is cool ****, talking with all the fans and looking like he was enjoying it. Plus, I think he wrestles a good style, he's big and athletic and recently he's started learning how to work a big man style.

Another honorable mention for me (Even though he's retired), Super Dragon. Epitome of Badass.

[Splat]

Kelly Kelly my goodness.

[Splat]

I'm looking forword to NXT.

[Hines]

Who is the host tonight? I don't get it for another 2 hours.

[LTgiants]

is the Undertaker bringing back his old look cause of what happened to his coat?

[comahan]

Hes used the Lord of Darkness attire several times in the last two years, but yea, probably

I really don't remember seeing him wear it since the Ministry.

[T-RICH49]

streak vs HBK's career at WM...now that raises the stakes a bit

[MaxV]

I doubt Shawn is retiring.

Looks like they finally decided to end the streak.

[comahan]

I really don't remember seeing him wear it since the Ministry.

Wrestlemania 24, a lot of Smackdown appearances, a few PPVs last year, etc

[LTgiants]

I will take your word for it just was shocking to me I haven't seen it in a while.

[T-RICH49]

hooray Christian is on RAW!!!!!!!

[Brodeur]

The guest host segments are ******* terrible the last two weeks.

[Bob Sanders Dreadlock]

Haven't watched Raw in months, turn it on to see a bull riding competition. May be the worst show on TV. I'd rather watch reruns of sex in the city with my mom.

[MaxV]

Cheech and Chong might change that.

RAW starts in a half hour for me. Is it worth it to stay up and watch the whole thing?

not really

[T-RICH49]

so who else is calling a Legacy beatdown on Orton next week?

[the_legend_killer]

I'm not a fan of them doing Taker/HBK again because they won't be able to top last year's epic match. Also, either HBK retires (which I guess is coming sooner or later) or Taker loses his streak, to someone who doesn't need any more legacy buffing. If Taker would lose, it should be to someone who could use it to springboard to superstardom.

[Splat]

Christian Is Raw.

[MaxV]

Shawn won't job to the same opponent twice in a row.

Plus I HIGHLY doubt that Shawn will end his career on his back.

All signs point to the end of Taker's streak.

[Bob Sanders Dreadlock]

All signs point to the end of Taker's streak.

What type of match is it between Taker and Michaels? Not saying Taker's streak is a great sport accomplishment..but com on he s the deadman/american badass. He hasn't been the biggest face of the WWE but he has been up there forever. They can't do that to him.

[MaxV]

Streak has to end someday.

And who better to end it then "Mr. Wrestlemania?"

BTW, I've never saw last year's HBK-Taker match. Something Shawn mentioned yesterday about it being "Greatest Wrestlemania Match ever."

Better then Bret-Shawn Iron-Man Match? Really?

[Splat]

I would rather it not end my self Taker deserves that.

[T-RICH49]

WWE is kinda in a tough spot by now making it career vs streak.if HK is taking time off after WM then you'd think maybe Taker wins but then how do you explain SHawn's return after time off.gut feeling says the streak is over

[T-RICH49]

HBK/Taker 2 and Edge/Y2J are the WM matches I am already looking forward to.

plus NXT tonight anyone else intrigued?

[Splat]

To tell you the truth I would not be shocked if both Taker and HBK were done for good after WM.

[T-RICH49]

To tell you the truth I would not be shocked if both Taker and HBK were done for good after WM.

I think HBK has another year left but you could be right about Taker would not surprise me with all his injuries he's dealing with

[Splat]

Did you guys know Batista is 41?

I had no idea he was that old.

[T-RICH49]

I knew he was old did'nt know he was in his 40's.

so who will watch NXT tonight?I'm gonna check it out to see if it's worth watching

[Splat]

I'm for sure going to give NXT a chance.

[E-Man]

I think the HBK/Taker match could end both ways. If Shawn ends the streak, maybe Taker retires in the ring since he really doesn't have much left. If Taker wins, maybe they do an angle to where Shawn has to come back for some reason by Summerslam. I really wouldn't be surprised to see HBK come back if he loses, because wrestling retirements don't last long.The only reason I see Undertaker retiring for good is because he's got serious knee problems at his age. I could see Shawn stick around for another year or two.

[bearsfan_51]

Has anyone else noticed that Shawn has developed a lazy eye? That wasn't always like that was it?

[comahan]

Has anyone else noticed that Shawn has developed a lazy eye? That wasn't always like that was it?

Its been like that for a few years now. Apparently its something his dad had, and Shawn's eye has become more ****** year by year as of late

[Splat]

It really sticks out in HD.

[comahan]

There was one Raw during the Jericho feud last year that started out with a close up of Shawn's face, and it was baaaaaaaaad

[T-RICH49]

"Prowrestling.net is reporting that TNA is in the process of changing the Abyss character on TV.It's being said that during the course of his program with Hulk Hogan, Abyss' character will lose alot of the neurotic aspects of his character and emerge as an invincible force in TNA."


FINALLY

[OSUGiants17]

Gonna watch NXT just for Daniel Bryan formerly Bryan Danielson. Me and my Buddy where talking and his name should be Dan Bryant not Daniel Bryan

[comahan]

"Prowrestling.net is reporting that TNA is in the process of changing the Abyss character on TV.It's being said that during the course of his program with Hulk Hogan, Abyss' character will lose alot of the neurotic aspects of his character and emerge as an invincible force in TNA."


FINALLY

How is that news? Thats just following exactly what was said on TV on Thursday, and what you can assume will happen now. I hate wrestling news sites :P

[P-L]

Remember when the Undertaker had to retire when he lost to Edge? Even if Shawn loses, he isn't going to be gone for good. WWE will find some way to bring him back. That said, I think the streak is going to end.

[comahan]

Im not a fan of them doing a rematch, really. Theres little to no way they top last year. I just hate it when a great match is capitalized on by a company, resulting in a letdown when they try to top it.

[comahan]

NXT spoilers are out. If youre an American Dragon fan, I recommend you watch.

[comahan]

Angle is NOT amused at Danielson's 'catchphrase'.

[Brodeur]

Punk staring blankly is awesome.

[comahan]

Punk staring blankly is awesome.

Haha, that was TREMENDOUS

[T-RICH49]

don't know about anyone else but so far so good for NXT IMO

[Brodeur]

Haha, that was TREMENDOUS

Black Cena scares him.

[T-RICH49]

haha Jericho just gave his rookie a WTH are you doing look

[comahan]

haha Jericho just gave his rookie a WTH are you doing look

He was staring at the ramp, wasnt he?

[T-RICH49]

looked like he was staring at his rookie.may have been wrong

[T-RICH49]

haha Bryan just intentionally bumped into the Miz

[Brodeur]

Shut the **** up Cole.

[T-RICH49]

Shut the **** up Cole.

quoted for truth.this is why I loathe Cole

[comahan]

It seems like they put Cole on the show simply because they know the internet hates him, so hes playing the heel when talking about internet sensation Daniel Bryan :D

Decent match I suppose, although both are capable of doing 100000x better. Bryan still looked good though.

[Brodeur]

I'm not sure which is the highlight: Danielson in general or CM Punk's entire presence.

[comahan]

I love Danielson, but Punk. Easily.

[NIN1984]

i thought Danielson did a good job tonight. i can't wait until he destroys the Miz.

[T-RICH49]

[Splat]

I enjoyed NXT for the most part I will for sure be giving it a chance.

Daniel Bryan flying in to the announcers table had to hurt big time.

David Otunga's interview was really good I thought he really played the cocky role well.

And as always The Miz is Awesome....

William Regal Moved To Raw (http://www.wrestlingnewsworld.com/wwe-news/william-regal-moved-to-raw.php)

I personally think he shouold have stayed as Zeke's manager.not sure if Jackson has the mic skills to be on his own

[E-Man]

I would prefer Regal on SD. He seems more of a fit there. Same thing with Christian. I really liked the feud they had.

[Splat]

I think Yoshi Tatsu should have went to SD no way he makes it on Raw heck he would have a hard time making it on SD.

http://www.wrestlingnewsworld.com/wwe-news/new-british-wwe-developmental-diva-joey-styles-comments-on-michael-cole-s-war-on-the-internet.php

"Joey Styles wrote the following on Twitter today regarding Michael Cole's war on the Internet (http://www.wrestlingnewsworld.com/wwe-news/michael-cole-no-longer-wants-to-associate-with-online-fans.php): "I'm an Internet fan and I can assure you that the exchange between Josh Mathews and Michael Cole was very real. Cole lives in the WWE bubble."

[bearsfan_51]

Psh...Joey Styles is one to talk. If it didn't happen in the original ECW he could care less.

[Splat]

Joey Styles > Michael Cole

[HeavyLeggedWaistBender]

It sure sounded real with Cole going overboard with opinion (which I dont remember him doing very often) and Mathews kinda taken aback by it.

[WMD]

i thought Danielson did a good job tonight. i can't wait until he destroys the Miz.
I don't think Daniel Bryan will stay a face. I have a feeling he'll eventually give in to the Miz' heel antics.

I liked NXT a lot.. aside from the Darren Young/David Otunga match, which just kinda confused me.

Heath Slater annoyed me a little.. and I love Michael Tarver's presence... he just looks like he already belongs.

[bearsfan_51]

Heath Slater is going to get so much heat for being an annoying ginger. He reminds me of the The Rock when he was Rocky Maivia.

[Brodeur]

Punk's facial expressions were worth it.

[Splat]

Heath Slater annoyed me a little.

The fact that his pro is Christian and when they tag team they can be called Christian Slater is pretty epic.

[Splat]

The series premiere edition of WWE NXT did a 1.4 cable rating on SyFy last night with 1,704,000 viewers. That number is up from what ECW was doing which should be considered a success

The NXT interview: Daniel Bryan.

Pretty good read.

[bearsfan_51]

Probably either could catch on in TNA, Helms as part of the X Division, and Burchill as part of the British Invasion.

[comahan]

Helms is in the Hardy/Moore clique too, and is apparently real good friends with Daniels, so I could definitely see him there. Maybe for nothing else than to try to guarantee that Hardy does indeed sign (if he hasnt already) once his court tuff is over with

Maria got released also.

John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan in 2003.

Also, The Cat.

[comahan]

Yea, im totally sad about the Maria release. I pretty much love her.

She even won the Diva of the year in 09 (which was voted on by fans), shows that it really doesnt matter if youre over or not. And i mean, she was a bad wrestler, but theyre loaded with talentless women. I suppose she must have been making a lot of money or something? Who knows.

[bearsfan_51]

She's made comments in the past few months about wanting to have kids and not knowing what the future held for her. Could have been mutual.

But if not, the WWE is ******* stupid. You have Jillian Hall's dog face on contract still...cut her.

The pre-Wrestlemania cuts continue out of WWE as referee Scott Armstrong has been released.

Theres an interview online where she says she didnt ask for her release, and that she didnt have any idea about possibly being released at all until about an hour before it was on wwe.com

[the_legend_killer]

As far as TNA goes with picking up Helms, Burchill and Maria, they should worry about the food they have on their plates before they ask for snacks.

[Splat]

As far as TNA goes with picking up Helms, Burchill and Maria, they should worry about the food they have on their plates before they ask for snacks.

Agreed.

They are going to end up like WCW and signing every one instead of developing the talent they all ready have.

[T-RICH49]

so should we add Mysterio v Punk to the WM card given SD the past 2-3 weeks?

[bearsfan_51]

Punk-Mysterio and some variation of Orton-Legacy both seem very likely.

[E-Man]

They need to move SD back to Thursday nights. I really keep forgetting about it. Even when I'm home on Friday, I still tend to watch other things before forgetting about Smackdown a hour and a half into the broadcast. I hate missing my boy Punk.

[Splat]

I can't wait for week two of NXT I really enjoyed it last week.

[Splat]

"WWE just announced (http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/haasreleased) that they have released SmackDown Superstar Charlie Haas as of today, February 28th. This is the fourth WWE release this weekend, as Maria, referee Scott Armstrong, Shane Helms, and Paul Burchill were released on Friday."

[T-RICH49]

huh I had thought Haas was released before now

[comahan]

so should we add Mysterio v Punk to the WM card given SD the past 2-3 weeks?

Hopefully not in a mask v hair match, I hate mysterio mask matches because the result is never in doubt

[comahan]

Agreed.

They are going to end up like WCW and signing every one instead of developing the talent they all ready have.

Bad comparison. WCW had all of their non-used guys on guaranteed contracts where they were getting paid to do nothing just so they couldnt jump to WWF. TNA has a lot of their talent on a pay-per-appearance deal, where they dont have to pay them if they dont use them

http://www.wrestlingnewsworld.com/wwe-news/sheamus-headed-to-smackdown.php

Sheamus is being advertised as a member of the Smackdown roster in ads for shows after the 2010 WWE Draft on April 26th. As always plans are subject to change but this could be the current direction.
