Mitsuharu Misawa memorial wrestling topic (1962-2009)

Even Mark Henry seemed shocked that the crowd was that into him. I do have a bad feeling that we're heading towards a Mark Henry/Big Show feud over the US title.
 
[quote name='KaneRobot']I'm not a big fan of him but Seth did a good job. Crowd was way into him, and that punch looked great.[/QUOTE]

Seth was alright.

I don't know about ZZ Top next week though. You would think they could get The Rock or someone better.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']2003. Just googled it. My bad. Does that make it less funny or more funny?

I don't care. Gimmie a Break![/QUOTE]

I could believe it, it's not like the WWE haven't used a dead woman in a story before.
 
Apparently Vince just found out what SNL is now that he's having guest hosts GM's every week. Vince's time warp pop culture connection strikes again!
 
[quote name='benjamouth']I could believe it, it's not like the WWE haven't used a dead woman in a story before.[/QUOTE]

Katie Vick to host RAW in three weeks!!!!!
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Wait.

ZZ fuckING TOP?

NEXT WEEK?[/QUOTE]

You missed Michael Cole going "A-HAWRR HAWRR HAWRR." Cringe-worthy.

Looks like they are just running through their celebrity fan rolodex, so I imagine Kid Rock and Rob Schneider will be up before long.
 
I honestly wouldn't have a problem with DiBiase being GM of Raw if he wanted the job. His personality is perfect for it and his gimmick would have made him better than Donald Trump as the person who bought RAW.

They are going to have to step up the host candidates after next week though.
 
GMs as a concept need to die. Suspension of disbelief is impossible when a person who is in charge of running/planning a show decides, live in front of a crowd, at 10:15PM what the main event at 10:45 will be.
 
I like to think that the GM has this well planned show ready every week, and then because the wrestlers can't get along and interrupt the show with their disputes that the GM has to throw those plans out the window in the hopes that they'll learn their lesson. Of course, they never do.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Wait.

ZZ fuckING TOP?

NEXT WEEK?

[/QUOTE]

I'm curious as to why Frank Beard isn't going to be there. That means no performance, which would be all ZZ Top would really be good for. I know they're fans who have attended shows before, but this move puzzles me.

[quote name='Demolition Man']Speaking of time warp.... the WWE apparently has re-signed Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore.[/QUOTE]

Supposedly, he's only going to trains developmental talent.

Apparently, WWE added Fan Axxess to SummerSlam, or is planning to. Yay, more money for me to spend in the next month or so! But in some unsettling news, the rumor is that WWE is considering jacking up the price of the PPV to keep it in line with WrestleMania.

As for Raw last night, it had more wrestling and fewer comedy skits than I expected. Seth Green, who I love, was awesome in his role.
 
Seth Green did a good job. I like the concept of a guest host, it's cool to see someone new on Raw for a change.

I'll flip the fuck out if they get Arn Anderson to host it one night
 
Scorch, thanks for the TIV, but your inbox was full when I tried to reply. I'm posting here because you have no "wall" on which to leave comments.

I think it is just a case of WWE letting him show his personality after all these years. After the crap they have put him through he deserves the nice reaction.
 
Saw one of the first details about Smackdown vs Raw 2010 this morning..

- The WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2010 game will feature an online Royal Rumble where players can compete against other. The game will also feature a new Road to WrestleMania mode.

That might be kinda cool.. it'd be better if it was five or six guys competing instead of thirty guys with one superstar
 
I doubt even WWE-only fans know who Scotty Goldman is. That character had less TV time than Braden "I'm gonna knock your brains in" Walker.
 
An excerpt from Chris Jericho's book.
The first time I ever got an inkling that wrestling might not be completely legit was when I saw Sika, half of the Wild Samoans, at the hotel. On television, he spoke no English and had a manager who did the talking for the team. I wanted to get his autograph but he was alone, so I approached him gingerly with pen and paper in hand and spoke slowly and simply. “Mr. Sika,” I said, pointing at the paper with my pen. “Autograph. Please. You sign. Here,” I explained while pantomiming signing motions with my pen.
He looked at the pen and paper in my hand and then looked straight in my eyes and said in perfect English…

“fuck off, kid.”

I was shocked! I was agog! And not because he told me to fuck off. Oh no dear readers, I was shocked because I had discovered that Sika could actually speak English! “Oh my gosh! He speaks English! Did anybody else hear that?” I shouted to no one in particular. But alas, it was like seeing the head of the monster rising from the depths of Loch Ness with nobody else on the boat. I alone had discovered the savage Samoan’s secret.

The dissing continued when I saw the Dynamite Kid sitting in the bar, pecs bursting out of an open dress shirt, drinking beer. When he saw me approaching with my pen, he glared at me and said in his thick Cockney accent, “Don’t even fookin’ try it.” I turned on my heels and walked straight out of the bar without missing a beat.

My mission to be assaulted by a wrestler continued when Wallass and I decided to follow the Four Horsemen’s limousine in my mom’s car after we saw them buying beer at a vendor. After a thirty-​minute cat-​and-​mouse session, they simply put the limo into reverse at a red light and began to chase us backward on and off the curb. We were desperately trying to es$cape, all the while envisioning the horrible fate that awaited should they catch us. Satisfied that their message had been delivered, they drove away laughing and taunting us all the way down the street. Tully Blanchard stuck his head out of the window and yelled, “You little fuckheads need to get girlfriends.” Girlfriends? I had no time for girlfriends...I was too busy obsessing about wrestling.

Some wrestlers can be assholes. I'm not sure if those guys were all heels, though. Oddly enough, the nicest wrestler he ever met at that point was Hogan.

The opening segment was fantastic. It wasn't a classic back-and-forth promo, but it was effective at making me want to see Angle face Foley at the PPV, which I didn't care about before tonight. I liked that Mick acknowledged that he doubts he can hang iwth Angle, and loved how well he built up Kurt as possibly the best in the world. Very smart stuff. If he wins, who did he beat? Possibly the best ever. Not "a guy who only won the belt because a guy handed him the belt", but the best in the world. Similarly, Angle, didn't point out that Foley's over the hill - he treated him with respect. Excellent booking, and I hope they stay true to the "no MEM/Foley Security interference" rule.

I'm not so sure if I liked the announcement of Sting-Angle IN A CAGE being the main event of the show right before the PPV. For one thing, it's more appealing than most of the matches on the card, and for another, it came off like a complete afterthought given all the other stuff on this show. However, I did like Angle accepting the challenge and not doing the typical heel schtick of not wanting a match - he embraced it and demanded it. I loved that.

Suicide-Sabin was good, nothing memorable, but perfectly fine work, and I liked the suplex>top-rope swinging neckbreaker dealie spot from Sabin. DW was great on commentary in this. Homicide coming out was...something. TNA really hasn't come up with any way to do the MITB deal anywhere near as well as WWE has, and this was no exception. I loved that the show-long bit about the Mafia wanting ALL THE GOLD, not including the X division title, even when it was mentioned IN THE X DIVISION MATCH. God, what a worthless belt this is. Homicide's post-match promo was the best thing about this whole deal.

The women's match ruled - Alyssa and Sarita blended really well together, and I hope they keep Melissa as both characters since she's so damn good at each of them. The action in the match was fast and had the crowd rocking - a rarity for a knockouts match nowadays, and wheelbarrow suplex into the buckle was sick. The ending definitely paled in comparison to it, but that still worked at setting up the post-match attack. The Jenna-Sharmell segment was amusing thanks to DW demanding that things be kept professional and Jenna's "cheetah cleavage!" line. She had a few great lines her - I'd much rather hear her talk than wrestle, so hopefully they keep her match short at the PPV.

TBP with the beekeeper's suit on Angelina ruled. Like JBL before her, Angelina made this kind of wacky suit work perfectly, and I loved all the feminine stuff added to it - like hearts and pink ribbons. Good to know that she hasn't lost her fashion sense amidst the terror of that damned BIG FREAKIN SPIDER! Them threatening to sic "some guy named PETA" on Tara ruled too. This segment was pure win.

AJ's promo about THE LOVE OF THE GAME~! was amusing. The elimination tag was pretty good - not a classic, but I liked having Beer Money mix it up with main event-level guys instead of mid-carders. They definitely fit in pretty well in-ring, and Roode losing 2-on-1 set things up nicely for he and Storm to win at the PPV.

The main event was below the standards of the usual Sting-Angle match, but worked as a setup for the PPV, even if there was way too much going on in the final three minutes with an "FTW" video playing, orange lights covering the ring, Joe choking Sting out, Foley being attacked, and Jarrett being attacked, and the announcers yelling. There war too much chaos for this to be effective, and I didn't like Tenay AGAIN doing the OH WE KNOW WHO THIS IS-ish thing with Taz.

God, how stupid was it to do that on the show BEFORE THE PPV?! Why not do it on the show itself since it's supposed to be a surprise FOR THE PPV. Now, there's no surprise and the clusterfuck ending further took away from what could have been a really good match. And it didn't couldn't even sink in and mean anything because a million other things happened after it - even though it happened just a few minutes before the show ended.

Speaking of stupidity, Joe seemed pretty stupid for rushing down to the ring to prevent the tapout only to take forever with the lock while Angle was still in the scorpion death lock. Yeah, I know it was done so he could prevent any faces from saving him and so they could do their Horsemen beatdown, but doing it at that exact point in the match and in that manner seemed stupid to me.

Except for that shit though, I dug the show a lot. Just about everything else was either really good or at least enjoyable - including Abyss' promo, which like his other ones, made me want to see him beat the everloving shit out of Stevie.

Quotes -
DW - Last week, Mick learned two lessons. One, don’t trust Jeff Jarrett, and two, if you mess with the Main Event Mafia, you’ll end up wrapped in barb wire.
Foley - I feel naked without the TNA Title, and I know that none of you want to see me naked, so this Sunday, I’m gonna do my best to get the TNA Title around this shoulder! But there is so much at stake than just a piece of hardware to be worn around - where the TNA Title goes, the power goes. If I’m able to regain the title I never really lost, the power in TNA goes another way.
Tenay - On Sunday, the history of TNA will be decided as the Main Event Mafia goes for the gold. Angle tries to retain the World title. Nash will try to win the Legends title, and Steiner and Booker T will try to win the TNA Tag Titles against Beer Money Inc. Kurt, look at me. You know I may not have much - I’m not much to look at and I have my limitations as a person. IT’S BEEN 18 YEARS SINCE 91 WHEN I TAPPED OUT AGAINST DORY FUNK JR AND I VOWED I’D NEVER FEEL THAT WAY AGAIN. If you can beat me, go ahead, because I’m not going to just look into the eyes of the greatest wrestler today, but possibly the greatest of all-time. To beat you, I’m gonna have to be better than I ever been - and to be honest, I’m not sure. Sometimes, I’m like the little engine that could, I think I can, but I don’t. If you’re thinking about me tappin’, it just won’t happen! You had the respect tonight to not have the Mafia out here tonight, and in three days, I ask that you extend that same courtesy. No Mafia - no Mick Foley security.
Angle - Mick, I run with the Mafia because of what we believe in. Ironically, you believe in the same things, except that we show no compassion. THIS IS A MAN’S GAME, NOT A BOY’S GAME! Mick, you have to do what you have to do to survive in this business - why do you think we’re so mad at the young punks!? THEY’RE OVERPAID, THEY CAN’T WORK BECAUSE THEY’VE GOT BLISTERS! YOU’VE WORKED THROUGH PAIN, THEY’RE CHANGING OUR WORLD! THAT’S WHAT THE MAIN EVENT MAFIA IS ABOUT. IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT MONEY! WE’RE TRYING TO HELP YOU AND JARRETT, AS WELL AS OURSELVES!
Sting - Did I just hear this right? You’re doing this for Mick and Jeff? WHAT A BUNCH OF BULL, KURT! IT’S THE SAME BUNCH OF BULL YOU FED ME! It wasn’t long before it was all about money and back stabbing! Mick, you’re right, there’s gonna be a lot that resolved at Victory Road - we’ll find out who runs TNA, but unfortunately Kurt, I have my own agenda as I take Joe and his handler up one side and down another here in the Impact Zone. But Sunday is Sunday! Mick, I need a huge favor! I’ve got some unfinished business, so tonight here in the Impact Zone, one last time, I want Kurt Angle.
DW - IS STING NUTS!? WHY WOULD HE WANT KURT?!
Foley - You know, Sting…I think…
Angle - WOAH! STING, MICK FOLEY SAYS YES! NOT ONLY THAT, THERE’S GONNA BE ONE SMALL TWEAK! IT’S GONNA BE IN THE SIX SIDES OF STEEL! YOU GOT IT, STING! YOU GOT YOUR FIGHT! AND IT WILL BE AGAINST THE GREATEST WRESTLER OF ALL-TIME AND THE THIRTEEN-TIME WORLD CHAMPION, KURT ANGLE!
DW - JOE’S BEATING THE HECK OUT OF RED, OBVIOUSLY HE DID SOMETHING TO MAKE JOE MAD BECAUSE WE KNOW HE WOULDN’T DO THIS UNPROVOKED!
Tenay - WHAT!? JOE’S NATION OF VIOLENCE CONTINUES!
DW - Red’s always been a smart-ass. I think Joe’s just teaching him a lesson.
Tenay - HE HASN’T SAID TWO WORDS HERE IN TNA!
DW - Sometimes it’s not what you say, it’s how you look when you’re not saying it. That’s what ticked Joe off!
DW - Sharmell, what caused this problem?
Sharmell - Isn’t it obvious? SHE’S A BONY WHITE CHICK!
DW - Let’s be professional…
DW - Sharmell, you’ve been around for a few years, you know your way around the ring…
Jenna - SHE KNOWS HER WAY AROUND A LOT MORE THAN THAT!
DW - PROFESSIONAL!
(as Sojo advances)Jenna - PUT YOUR CHEETAH CLEAVAGE DOWN!
DW - PROFESSIONAL!
Tenay - We found out a lot about Suicide last week when we dissected his entrance music.
DW - YOU JUST GOTTA GET PAST YOUR INFATUATION WITH THE WHOLE “WHO IS SUICIDE” THING, MIKE! Go see my therapist - he’ll straighten you out!
Tenay - IF ANYONE’S BEEN INFATUATED WITH HIM, IT’S BEEN YOU AND YOUR BUDDIES, THE GUNS!
DW - That may be how it appears to the untrained eye, but in reality, things are very different.
(after a kick from Shelley on the outside)Tenay - BLATANT INTERFERENCE FROM SHELLEY!
DW - That’ll loosen the mask. Obviously we didn’t here it, but Suicide said something to Shelley. He’s like Red - he just doesn’t know when to shut up!
Tenay - HERE COMES HOMICIDE WITH HIS RECENTLY-REAQUIRED FEAST OR FIRED CASE!
(after Homicide cashes in his case and wins the X Title)Tenay - WAS THIS FAIR!? MAYBE NOT, BUT IT WAS WITHIN THE RULES!
Homicide - Lemme tell ya something snowflake, da rules said that I could cash the feast case anytime. BI.G. WE DID IT! VIVA PUERTO RICO!
Tenay - Is that a beekeeper’s suit?
DW - Velvet and I were Tweeting last night about this.
Tenay - I didn’t know you had a Twitter account!?
DW - Who said anything about Twitter?!
Tenay - Oh lord…
Love - Just for the record, I have filed a formal complaint with Peter. That’a P-E-T-E-A, whoever he is. I don’t know, against a certain new knockout trying to endanger me with a BIG FRIGGIN’ SPIDER!
DW - I hope this PETA guy gets to the bottom of this.
Tenay - P-E-T-A…
DW - I knew that.
Love - THERE’S NO ROOM FOR TARA IN TNA! THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT RECOGNIZE YOU WINNING AGAINST ME LAST WEEK. NO! NOPE! AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT WAS FLUKE! (fans chant you suck)
DW - YOU CUTHROAT FANS!
Love - IT WAS NEVER OFFICIAL, SO I’M STILL THE TNA KNOCKOUT CHAMPION! THERE WAS NO CONTRACT SIGNED! IT WAS NEVER OFFICIAL! BUT I WILL ONCE AGAIN MAKE IT OFFICIAL THIS SUNDAY AT VICTORY ROAD!
Tara - First of all, princess, this belt says I’m officially the new knockouts champion! Still can’t believe it? I’ll confirm it this Sunday in our rematch! As for Poison, don’t you worry your pretty little head - he likes dark places. Warm places… Got here early today…snuck in your dressing room, saw your cute outfit, and said…hey, great place for Poison to take a nap… I wouldn’t move to much. I bark…he bites!
DW - THAT HAIRY BEAST IS CRAWLING ALL OVER THAT PRECIOUS BODY INSIDE!
(after Alyssa spits her gum at Sarita)DW - Alyssa Flash isn’t interested in this girl from Canada, Mexico, Madagascar, or wherever else she’s from.
DW - I’ve always found that the best way to beat a high-flyer is to ground ‘em!
DW - In my neighborhood, we call that a curb stomp!
AJ - Kevin, last week, you said that you changed companies. You did - FOR THE WORSE! IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY! I’D WRESTLE FOR FREE! AT VICTORY ROAD, YOU’VE CASHED YOUR LAST PAYCHECK!
Tenay - Joining us at the main event will be JEFF JARRETT!
DW - WHAT!? I mean great! I can’t wait to see the king of the mountain!
Tenay - Yeah…hummana, hummana, hummana! I can hear ya backtracking!
DW - I was talking with Booker and Steiner about how great the old days were when they were tag champs and how excited they are about a new era beginning for them!
(after a back stabber)DW - STORM STABS STEINER RIGHT IN THE BACK!
(after Steiner gets a 2 with a finger-point cover)DW - I THOUGHT HE HAD IT!
Tenay - ROODE LEAVES HIS FEET!
(after a Hart Attack with a spin wheel kick from Booker and Steiner)DW - SEE YA, WOULDN’T WANNA BE YA!
JB - On Sunday, you will face the team you invited into the Team 3D Invitational.
Devon - I guess that’s how those bitches roll across the pond! We thought they had it all - size, great bodies, but they lacked respect. We had the same problem with Beer Money until we took them to school. On Sunday, they will learn to abide by Team 3D’s rules!
Ray - You’d think after 22 World Tag titles and like the shirt says, a legacy, we’d have earned a little respect. We’re no longer the TNA Tag Team Champions because of the British Invasion - at Victory Road, we got one thing on our minds - REVENGE!
Brutus - Actually, we have something in common for once. We want it as well - we just got back from Foley’s office and signed the contracts.
Williams - However, we added some tweaks. The IWGP Tag Titles are on the line.
Tenay - IT ALL GETS SETTLED ONCE AND FOR ALL AT VICTORY ROAD!
Abyss - Lauren..I am so sorry for everything that’s happened. I promise you I’ll never let anyone hurt you again. Dr. Stevie, you tased me, kidnapped my bestest girl ever, and drugged me. THEY TREAT ANIMALS LIKE THAT! I KNOW CUZ I SAW A DOCUMENTARY. I AM NOT AN ANAIMAL, BUT I AM A PISSED OFF 350 POUND MONSTER. YOU KNOW, DR. STEVIE, FOR YEARS, YOU TAUGHT ME TO CONTROL MY LIFE THROUGH PAIN, SUFFERING, AND CARNAGE. WELL, DR. STEVIE, YOU FAILED MISERABLY. BECAUSE YOU SEE! I LIKE PAIN! (he rakes tacks across his arm) I LIKE SUFFERING! I LIKE CARNAGE! I LIKE TO INFLICT AS MUCH DAMAGE AS HUMALY POSSIBLE! THAT FEELS GOOD! DR. STEVIE! I DON’T’ NEED YOU ANYMORE! NO MORE THERAPY SESSIONS! I DON’T NEED THESE WHITES ANYMORE! I’VE WRITTEN A PRESCRITPION FOR YOU - IT’S FOR ONE MAJOR ASS-BEATING! WITH NO REFILLS! HEHEHEHEHEHE! AND DR. STEVIE! THIS SUNDAY NIGHT…HEHEHEHE WE’RE GONNA HAVE ONE LAST THERAPY SESSION TOGETHER! DON’T WORRY, DR. STEVIE…HEHEHEHEHE CUZ THIS ONE’S ON ME!
Penzer - LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOUNDER OF TNA! JEFF JARRETT! (Jarrett then brings a guitar down with him to do commentary)
DW - What an honor it is to have you down here. YOU’RE THE FOUNDER OF TNA! I CAN SEE YOU STILL HAVE THE SCAR… Ii THINK THE BIG QUESTION IS THAT EVERYONE’S CONCERNED ABOUT - HOW’S THE HIDDEN HAMSTRING INJURY!?
Jarrett - You been treading on thin ice for months - you betta be careful or you’ll fall through.
Jarrett - This Sunday, the Mafia can win all the titles.
DW - You’re saying it and I’m thinking it.
Jarrett - SHUT UP, WEST. I’m sick of your smart ass.
Jarrett - The Legends title…Booker brought it with him to TNA, and AJ’s trying to bring prestige to it.
Jarrett - Beer Money, two homegrown guys. Roode from Team Canada and Storm from America’s Most Wanted have come together recently, but Booker and Steiner have the experience.
Jarrett - Angle knows one thing - how to get it done in the ring.
Jarrett - DAMN WEST! I DON’T NEED ANYMORE OF YOUR BUTT-KISSING!
DW - Right on!
Jarrett - Eric Young was a cornerstone of the Front Line - just like Joe was, and look what happened at Slammiversary.
(after a giant FTW video shows up on the screen and orange lights cover the ring)Tenay - I THINK IT’S OBVIOUS WHO THIS SYMBOLIZES BUT WE’LL FIND OUT FOR SURE ON SUNDAY!

Here's Bob Holly's shoot -

I haven't been to a house show but I've been to multiple TV tapings/PPV's in Nashville, Orlando and Atlanta. I've always enjoyed the shows. You'd most likely have a good time.

Bobby Lashley has signed with TNA.

http://www.tnawrestling.com/content/view/1597/84/

FORMER WRESTLING WORLD CHAMPION BOBBY LASHLEY JOINS TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION (TNA) WRESTLING.

HISTORIC SIGNING MAKES LASHLEY THE FIRST EVER ACTIVE MMA FIGHTER TO CONCURRENTLY COMPETE IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING.

Bobby Lashley has signed a contract with Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling, making him the first-ever active pro wrestler in the western world to simultaneously compete as an active MMA fighter. He made the announcement on various ESPN interviews in New York.

“I want to do both because I can. TNA is giving me the opportunity to compete in both sports which I have a passion for,” said Lashley. “I will bring MMA fans to wrestling and wrestling fans to MMA”.

“This is a great opportunity for Bobby to do something that has never been done before. He is the perfect ambassador for both sports. We are excited to have him join TNA, he is a true star that brings so much to the table as a member of our roster,” stated TNA President Dixie Carter.

Prior to signing with TNA and fighting in MMA, Lashley was a two time ECW World Champion while in the WWE. During this time, he headlined many world wide pay-per-views and quickly became one of the most exciting stars in professional wrestling. As a collegiate wrestler, Lashley made a name for himself winning three national amateur wrestling championships. Since his MMA debut last December, Lashley has dominated each of his four fights and is currently undefeated with a record of 4-0. His most recent victory over Bob Sapp on June 27, 2009 ended via submission in round one.

Lashley first appeared for TNA in Philadelphia at the “Lockdown” pay-per-view event in April 2009 to the surprise of many TNA fans, followed only by a brief appearance on TNA iMPACT! Since then, fans have been left wondering when and if he would return to TNA as a full time member of the roster. “It’s our intention to make history and we’re looking forward to having Bobby make an immediate impact in TNA,” stated Carter.

Lashley appeared on New York 1050 (ESPN) shows "Brandon Tierney" and "Lundberg Doin' Work" to discuss the news of his TNA signing. You can listen to the audio from both broadcasts below:

Thanks Jay for confirming what I thought when I saw Alyssia Flash. They should have let her do that months ago since they don't have that many knockouts right now.

That Alissa Flash/Serita match was pretty cool.

Yeah. That was idiotic.
 
[quote name='HovaEscobar']by the way, you're welcome for the pirated copy smartass[/QUOTE]
I'll like to thank you though for the pirated copy....and please, contact me PM or whatever if you have any more pirated copies of wrestling books

My local bookstores somehow just don't carry 'em...
 
Punk/Hardy is the feud of the year. I think it's actually even better than the HBK/Jericho feud from last year. Just fantastic, fantastic, fantastic booking.

And I'd like to add that on ROH tonight, it's the much heralded Bryan Danielson/Tyler Black blow-off. It's supposed to be one of the best matches of the year. Can't wait to check it out!
 
Did anyone hear about some guy who supposedly works for TNA office saying that Karen Angle and her kids are living with Jeff Jarrett in Hendersonville, Tn at his house? Oh man, that would be so fucked up. I would think Double J is smarter than that. This is coming from a guy who called into Bubba the love sponge on sirius. Dixie Carter is reportedly on fire and threating to fire JJ.
