She had a cut in the top of her head at her hairline which I guess happened during the finishing move.

Tara hit her in the head with that toolbox.

After the travesty that was Bret/Vince I am glad he is staying on for a month or two to push the Dynasty.
 
fucking Comcast. Jacked up my TV and my internet. What did I miss? Last thing I saw was the Hart Dynasty coming out.

Mail Comcast a check for $10 and a thank you note.

It seems stupid that Cena would choose Orton. He's really going to trust the guy he feuded with for months? Of course, this being WWE, I know not to expect continuity.
 
King making fun of Cole. I don't think Orton is a face but he definitely doesn't have the full heel heat he had been carrying for so long.
 
[quote name='strongpimphand']RKO = Stunner 2.0[/QUOTE]
I agree, but unlike the stunner, it's easier to pull that move off in just about any position where Stone Cold using the stunner was a set movement.
 
[quote name='vlv723']John Cena= 21st Century Hulk Hogan[/QUOTE]
Which is infinitely more annoying than Stunner 2.0. I actually like the RKO and like seeing how they change up him using it every once in a while. totally didn't expect to see Taker come out. Shit.
 
Ok, I honestly gotta give Cena props for this:

I've been waiting for that to show up on this thread. I knew someone would make it. He was enjoying that so much.
 
Raw thoughts -

This wasn't a night full of classic matches or anything, but I marked out for the Legends Lumberjack match, marked huge for Bret giving a rub to the Hart Dynasty, and seeing him in the ring with the Miz. They also built towards the future relatively well by having Sheamus KO HHH and getting Swagger into the main event mix. Jobbing him may not have been the smartest move, but he was the guy in the match who had to lose, and Orton came off like a megastar with the ending. For the first time since his face turn, everything he did really clicked and he needed something like that to keep him in the main event scene without losing too much.

HBK's farewell speech was awesome, and while the whole celebration wasn't as elaborate as Flair's, it was still incredible. I hope WWE inducts HBK into the HoF next year, or next week, Hell. Anything that gets more HBK DVDs on the market, I'm all for. He's truly one of the best of all-time, and possibly the best ever at having matches with opponents of any caliber. HHH coming out at the end kinda hurt the injury angle they did with Sheamus earlier, but I'll give them a pass on it since it was HBK's farewell.

World's Strongest Speedos



Quotes -
Lawler - SHAWN MICHAELS BIDS FAREWELL TO THE WWE UNIVERSE, TONIGHT!
Cole - Last night, John Cena beat his self-doubt and became WWE Champion!
Batista - I know that all of…you… PEOPLE are expecting me to throw a fit, complain, moan, and groan about what happened last night - AND I’M NOT GONNA GIVE YOU THE SATISFACTION! Last night was a blip on the radar, IT WAS A FLUKE. NEXT MONTH, NONE OF YOU WILL EVEN REMEMBER WRESTLEMANIA! I’M ENTITLED TO A REMATCH - I’M GONNA REGAIN MY WWE CHAMPIONSHIP! I DON’T CARE WHAT HAPPENED AT MANIA, JOHN CENA CAN’T BEAT ME! (Cena comes out)
Cole - HERE’S CENA, A HAPPY CHAMPION!
Cena - There’s still a lot of WM energy left in the building - that’s for sure. Going into ‘Mania, there was a guy usually dressed in a vest saying that Cena couldn’t beat him. I guess that person missed ‘Mania, because John Cena did beat Batista. And after all the talk about how badly you wanted this match at WM, after you said you wanted to take my spot and call yourself the face of the company. The face of the company looked like this - BEFORE I MADE HIM TAP OUT! Tonight, we write the final chapter on the career of Shawn Michaels. Let’s write a new chapter in the story of Batista! For once, let’s give the WWE Universe what they want. LET’S HAVE THE REMATCH!
Batista - Not tonight.
(as Ted Jr. walks to the ring)Ted Sr. - THERE’S MY BOY!
HHH - It’s kind of a surreal night. End of an era, know what I mean? I never thought it would end this way for Shawn. I knew man, I knew he could beat him…I didn’t think it would happen this way. It’s the end of an era, and you know, it seems like yesterday for me, I was walking into WWE and I saw Shawn with overalls with no shirt on and his bad mullet haircut. Man. But we took on the world, didn’t we bud? A lot of times, all we had was each other! BUT WE FOUGHT SIDE BY SIDE, BACK TO BACK, SOMETIMES FACE TO FACE, BUT WE’VE ALWAYS FOUGHT FOR EACH OTHER AND WITH EACH OTHER! There’s always this (does Wolfpac sign), then it was me and Shawn, and there was nothing tighter. I just wanted to come out here and pour everything…before everything else happened, and say that there’s something I always wanted to say to Shawn…(Sheamus attacks with a pipe)
Fan - SO WHAT’D YA WANNA TELL HIM!
Bret - Right off the bat, I just wanna thank Shawn Michaels on an epic storybook career. Nobody knows better than I do that Shawn’s one of the greatest of all-time. Coming from the Hitman, I just wanna wish you all the best in the future. When I came back to WWE, it was Shawn who said that good things would happen, and he was right. I finally found closure. It felt great to finally beat the Holy Hell out of Vince! HECK, THE WHOLE ENTIRE HART FAMILY BEAT VINCE! I know upstairs in heaven, I can feel my Mom, Dad, Owen, the Bulldog, sending waves of high-fives that are heaven-sent. (Owen chant breaks out) It’s been a great time for the Hart family. It wasn’t long ago that I thought I’d be leaving WWE with a bad taste, but now, all I have is a taste of joy and satisfaction. On behalf of myself and the Hart family, I just wanna thank you all. All the best. Thank you! (ShoMiz comes out)
Miz - Really Bret? Really? Yo come back and beat Vince in a 25-on-1 handicap match and you’re proud? KUDOS TO YOU, YOU’RE SUCH A HE-RO! Except there’s one problem - YOU’RE A THEIF. You coming back and getting closure ROBBED ME OF MY TIME. FOR MONTHS, I HAD TO HEAR BRET SCREWED BRET, VINCE SCREWED BRET, VINCE SCREWED VINCE, I’M SICK OF IT! LOOK AT ME, I’M THE MOST GLORIFIEC CHAMPION IN WWE! Last night, in my first ‘Mania match, I won. I’m 1-0 - 17 WINS AWAY FROM TYING THE UNDERTAKER! Don’t laugh - I AM AWESOME! You’re another word - overrated! Know what? Your entire family is overrated! As a matter of fact, you’re the most overrated there is, was, and ever will be! Why don’t you get out of my ring before my fist gives your face closure!?
Bret - If you want me to leave, MAKE ME! (Hart Dynasty comes out) Why don’t you two clowns face the Hart Dynasty tonight and they’ll embarrass you like they did Vince last night!?
(as Miz is in the Sharpshooter)Show - YOU GONNA LISTEN TO ME!?
Miz - YES! (Show saves him)
Swagger - SMELL THAT!? IT SMELLS LIKE MONEY IN THE BANK! I TOLD ALL OF YOU LAST WEEK THAT I WAS GONNA WIN MITB AT ‘MANIA, WHEN I WANT SOMETHING, I AM THE ODDS-ON FAVORITE TO GET IT! Earlier tonight, I was just messing with Cena! Because when I really cash thisth in, the All American American American is the odds-on favorite to walk away with the WWE Championship!
King - EXTREME RULES IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY KFC!
Cole - KFC AND HOT TUBS!
King - WHAT!?
Cole - I like to eat in a hot tub!
King - YOU CAN’T DO THAT!
King - Come on, say it - IT’S VINTAGE!
Cole - Okay, it is VINTAGE ORTON with the stomps!
HBK - I don’t know what I’m gonna say tonight…
Crowd - PLEASE DON’T GO!
HBK - I was 19 when I started doing this, and at 23, I started coming into each and everyone of your homes every week and the idea of now being 44 and I don’t know, not coming into your homes every week is gonna be tough to get used to.
Crowd - THANK YOU, SHAWN! THANK YOU, SHAWN!
HBK - I appreciate you saying thank you, but I have to thank you because this ring and all of you was the only thing I had in my life. It was the only place that I ever felt good about me. And night in and night out, you guys are the only ones that ever made me like me and… I would like to thank…there’s so many I’d like to thank, but I think I’d forget somebody. But there’s one guy, Hunter, I gotta thank Hunter for being my friend when no one else wanted to touch me. There are a lot of people who didn’t like me many years ago - I wasn’t easy to be around, and Hunter, buddy, you never once left my side! In this line of work, and it’s tough to have real friendships, but Hunter, I thank you for the real friendship I’ve shared with you for 16 years! And another one, and this is gonns sound strange, but there’s a whole lot of people in those trucks, and those holding the camera, Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and the greatest ever, Jim Ross. I wanna thank all you guys, you always make me look better than I ever was and I appreciate that. There’s a crazy redhead in Stamford that I have to thank - his name is Adam, and he puts together so many of the videos you’ve seen of me, and he’s the most talented boy I’ve ever met. Thanks for making me look like a superstar! And then there’s…
Crowd - ONE MORE MATCH! ONE MORE MATCH! ONE MORE MATCH!
HBK - Can I tell ya something? I know how a lot of people feel about career-ending matches.
Crowd - WOO!
HBK - There are a lot of people who are gonna be skeptical of my decision, but I don’t wanna go back on my word to you or the Undertaker. I’m an open book - it’s easier for me to be who I am. I wanna honor my word. I appreciate that, but I’m gonna do everything I can to make sure that doesn’t happen. I also gotta thank Bret Hart. I cannot tell you how much back in the ‘90s I drove that poor guy crazy, and everything he’s said about me, he had every right to say it. I wanna thank you for giving me, understanding, accepting, and believing that I made mistakes and that I’ve changed. I thank him for giving me the \chance to be his friend again, and I thank him for giving me that opportunity. And then there’s Vincent Kennedy McMahon. I might get in trouble, but it’s my farewell speech, but there’s no way I could work for anyone else. After you’ve worked for that crazy son of a gun, I can never do a regular gig ever again. I gotta thank him for my patience, cuz the only guy I drove crazier than Bret was Vince. He gave the opportunity to do what I love to do, but I’ve gotta thank him for allowing me to make bigger mistakes. I was on a crash course, and it was ugly, but if he hadn’t kept me on course, I would not be here today. Thanks for putting up with me. And then there’s each and every one of you.
Crowd - THANK YOU SHAWN!
HBK - I have got to travel all over the world, to meet millions of people, to listen to each and every one of you, and I’ve spent more of my adult life with you than my own family, and I don’t say that with regrets. I thank you all so much for giving me the honor of letting me show off every night of my life. And of course, my lord and savior - I THANK YOU MY KING FOR SAVING ME! And to Rebecca, Cayane, and Cameron, babies, daddy’s coming home. This is how we started, and this is how we’re gonna end - THE HEART BREAK KID SHAWN MICHAELS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!

Impact thoughts -
I thought this was a pretty good show. Jay Lethal in full Macho Man gear but with a tie cracked me up. Jeff Hardy's promo was completely absurd - when RVD is the lucid one in a team, yikes. Their tagging in and out of the promo though ruled. Jarrett-AJ was excellent - about on par with some of the PPV matches, and given way more time than any other Impact match in recent memory. It's a shame they didn't bother building it up before tonight given how great it wound up being. Flair breaking up pins with his cane ruled. I demand that he stay in this wheelchair and be crazy Ric at least until the week before the PPV, when they should probably try and be serious.

Well, as serious as they can be for a promotion with a Macho Man impersonator, a Kane knock-off wearing red and yellow paint splotches on his gear, a world champ with a Flair starter kit, and a guy lowering from the ceiling in caution tape. My favorite part of the OJ deal aside from the sheer WTFness of it was Tenay shilling the company-customized caution tape like it was something you just couldn't be without. Pope's promo was excellent, his match with Desmond was really good but man should Pope have gone over. Desmond's probably just going to be a part of Team Flair at the PPV, so while he needs a win, he could get that win over anyone - it didn't need to be over the main number 1 contender to the world title.

Tara-Daffney was terrible. Tara was once quite great - unfortunately that was like 7 years ago. Daffney's not much in the ring, but would be a fine crazy manager for some goofball on the roster like Moore. Their spiky tribute to Magnum-Tully's cage match just reminded me of how great that much is, and made me want to watch it instead of their match. Joe's wacky captor video was...something. Thank God the people who kidnapped him had the resources to afford an HD camera. The cage match main event was fine, and I liked that Jeff and RVD hit their finishes to give EY an opening to hit a flying elbow off the top of the cage that at least finished the match, although the elbow itself looked worse than every single terrible one that Lethal has ever hit. The new cage looks incredibly short - like maybe 10-12 feet tall. The six-sided cage looked bigger, possibly due to the shorter sides making its height seem greater by comparison.

Nice homage to a far better match



Quotes -
Lethal - How about I fill in for you? ONE HALF OF THE MEGA POWERS FILLING IN FOR THE OTHER, HOW BOUT IT!?
Hogan - You seem a little confused, and I don’t know if you need to do the whirly twirly or drop the elbow on him, but if I’m gone, I CAN’T THINK OF ANYONE I’D RATHER HAVE TAKE MY PLACE THAN THE MADNESS HIMSELF! YEAH!
Taz - HERE COMES THA POPE!
Taz - I like that sports jacket - I wonder if they sell that thing in orange.
Pope - Lockdown, LOCKDOWN, LOCKDOWN! April 18th, Pope - AJ, Cage match, TNA World Heavyweight Championship! A moment that Pope has dreamed about his entire life, a moment Pope has worked for his entire career, only to have it jeopardized by AJ Styles and Nature Boy…nah, HE WAS A BOY 50 YEARS AGO, IT’S TIME TO GROW UP! And AJ Styles, AJ has been walking on-edge, holding down his head, hoping and praying that Pope doesn’t know he’s alive cuz he’s a shadow in the street lights and Pope is the guiding light of TNA! AJ, DAYBREAK IS SOON TO COME, AND NOT ONLY THAT, POPE IS KNOWN TO BE PROPHETIC, IF HE CAN GIVE HIS PROPHETIC ADVICE, GIVE HIM A HAMEN! AJ, HEAD DOWN TO CAPE CANAVERAL, STEAL THE MOST EXPENSIVE ASTRONAUT SUIT, BECAUSE AT LOCKDOWN, POPE’S GONNA TAKE YOU TO THE OUTER LIMITS! AND FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE, YOU ARE THE TNA CHAMP, AND PHENOMENAL WHEN YOU WANNA BE, BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE THE CHARISMATIC, PIMP-TACULAR, PIMP-SLAPPIN POPE THAT IS D’ANGELO DINERO!
Crowd - POPE IS PIMPIN!
Pope - AND WHEN THE SMOKE IS CLEARED, POPE WILL BE STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH THE TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE WORLD AND THE CONGREGATION IS GONNA DECLARE THAT NOT ONLY HAS POPE ARRIVED, BUT THAT POPE…
CROWD - IS PIMPIN!
Pope - Aha! Now that’s a dime piece right there daddy. Look here, little Chelsea, how can I help ya?
Chelsea - Well, there’s one thing you can do for me you big sexy hunk of chocolate. I’ve always had everything I wanted - money, cars, yachts, but there’s one dream I’ve had that you could help me with. I’ve wanted to be a ho!
Crowd - WE’VE GOT MONEY! (CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP)
Pope - Look here, Pope is gonna have to lay his hands on ya real soon, but before we get there, let me ask you - you know how to drive a stick?
Chelsea - Well, I can’t say that I know exactly, but I’m a real quick learner. Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Pope - CALM DOWN, well, I’m happy to see ya!
Taz - Subtle!
Pope - Hold this for a second.
Tenay - Is that Orlando Jordan? IS HE WEARING TNA CROSS THE LINE CAUTION TAPE!?
RVD - SYXX-PAC IS AROUND SPRAY PAINTING GUYS LIKE THEY OWN THE BUSINESS! THEY’VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR TOO LONG. Got some words, Jeff?
Jeff Hardy - TAG! It’s guys like that that keep their boots on top of my head when I’m climbing to the top of success! WHY!? CUZ THEY KNOW THEY CAN’T SHINE MY BOOTS!
RVD - Get your shinebox, BOYS!

myke, words cannot do justice how hard i laughed at that
 
Nice sendoff for Michaels. Undertaker tipping the hat was great. Kinda disappointed that they didnt have the other wrestlers come out for him like they did with Flair.

yeah but i dont think thats what they were aiming for. I think they just wanted it to be just Shawn and all the attention on Shawn 100%. The other wrestlers would have taken that away.

I wonder what was TNA's rating during the farewell speech.
 
[quote name='Sporadic']Tara hit her in the head with that toolbox.[/QUOTE]

My bad I had Impact on in the background so I didn't see the toolbox part.
 
Love the Hart Dynasty - ShowMiz thing, but I hope it doesn't flop now that Bret is supposedly on the way out?

Weird as hell to think Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels BOTH did their farewell speeches on the same show. In 2010.

Shawn not mentioning Marty was criminal, but other than that, very well done final segment.

[quote name='slidecage']LOL that chic with the hat.. i first thought he was kissing Triple H[/QUOTE]

Slidecage is a prophet. Yikes.

Yeah, that was pretty good. That was the same group of guys that was holding up the signs spelling out "CENA SUCKS." I think he sought them out after winning to pose with them.

that was definitely bizzare
 
[quote name='TheRock88']Can someone please explain what the fuck I just saw on Impact with Orlando Jordan?[/QUOTE]

I don't know but I was fucking dying. I mean... damn. I cannot assemble to words to explain how crazy that was. Aside from the Shawn Michaels farewell, Orlando Jordan "homoing it up" was far and away the highlight of my night.

What was I supposed to laugh at most? The music? The fact that he was wrapped in police tape? The face he made when he took his glasses off? The 2 male, one female symbol on the wall behind his love nest?

I could not breathe for laughing so hard.
 
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...-to-join-TNA-but-the-ECW-legend-declined.html

The Sun posts bits from Vince Russo's upcoming book, 'Rope Opera: How WCW Killed Vince Russo.'

Seriously.

PAUL HEYMAN turned down the chance to get back into the wrestling business.

That is the claim of TNA's head writer Vince Russo, who reveals he personally called the ECW legend and former SunSport columnist last year and asked him to join the company.

Russo makes the revelation in his new book — Rope Opera: How WCW Killed Vince Russo — which is released in the UK on April 8 by ECW Press and Turnaround UK.

In the final chapter Russo tells fans: "Oh, and one last thing, for the record: I called Paul E personally to ask him to join TNA. He declined."

Russo also pays glowing tribute to his wife Amy and three children Will, VJ and Annie.

He writes: "I cry when I think of all the sacrifices the family have made for a business that will never give a damn about any of us. A business that will never know any of you personally, but wanted to take you all down at my expense.

"I apologise for the time I took from each of you, while handing it to a locker room full of ungrateful wrestlers who only cared about themselves — with the exception of few.

"I can't get that time back and I know that it was a mistake.

"To those fans who supported me over the years: thank you. I'm just grateful that at least some of you 'got it'.

"To the critics: the negativity hurt . . . and it still does. If that was your intent, bravo. you win: I lose. I hope no other person has to endure the kind of criticism I've had to.

"What hurt the most of all is that those taking the cheap shot never knew me, never knew what I was about.

"At the end of the day, I was a man just trying to support his family. Nothing more, nothing less."


What a load of bullshit. Vince Russo lives 15 minutes away. I sorta want to find his house and egg it. :whistle2:k
 
Oh, I believe Heyman turned down an opportunity to work with Russo. Wouldn't you?

The selections from his book carry such a self-pitying tone it's fucking sick. Guy gets paid loads of money for close to two decades to do what most of us would sell our souls for - and he does a terrible job of it and doesn't get shitcanned - yet he has the GALL to have a pity party about it? If he wants to spend time with his family, I can't think of a reasonable minded person on the planet who wouldn't be supportive of his efforts.

Why does Orlando Jordan get sort of cool theme music while half of TNA uses "Entrance Music 04" from WCW Backstage Assault?
