Apparently its owned by USA network or the people that run USA. Makes sense in my opinion, WWE wouldnt want to put another "wrestling promotion" on the network they are on. Im glad they got a tv time slot, I could care less what channel it is. Hell put ECW on C-SPAN and I'd watch it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

regardless of sabu or rvd getting busted...this is still funny..yet true



I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I can see it being more towards Jericho than HBK. I cant really see HBK coming back using some "savior" promo, especially considering how much they promoted his "retired from being kicked in the head too hard by Orton".

I dont think theres any evidence supporting that its not Chris Jericho, aside from the obscure new number sequence. Oh well, either way its win-win.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I hate to say it, but that Santino Maralla guy is pretty entertaining as a heel. His promo's are hilarious with the way he speaks. I never thought that guy could cut it when I first saw him in that Umaga IC title match...but im impressed now. Of course, he will be made to look like an idiot when they let Austin stun him and pour a beer on his head or something retarded like that.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well I ordered Cyber Sunday and I have to say I was moderatly pleased that I did. The matches were actually entertaining to watch even though storyline wise ...nothing was advanced. However isn't this a primary complaint about WWE? People bitch WWE focus's too much on the storylines and not the actual wrestling product yet when WWE holds a pay per view with very good matches, people then counter-bitch that nothing "Exciting storyline wise" happens. Wrestling fans are so funny.

I didn't expect Chris Jericho to show up last night mainly because WWE or any other wrestling company wouldnt be stupid enough to have such a big return unannounced like that on a pay per view. Seriously, when was the last time on a pay per view that a big return or major debut happened that people didnt expect? For PPV returns, WWE ALWAYS announces it in some form. If its on RAW, it doesnt matter that much because its free for most people and true fans will watch and see it. Can you imagine the buyrate of Cyber Sunday if that cryptic messege about Jericho (supposedly about him, nothing has been 100% confirmed really) said something along the lines of "Second Coming this Sunday" or whatever?

FELIPE NO

Yeah Hornswoggle in doing what he is doing now is so much better than his Smackdown! gimmick.

Looks like no Jericho tonight, they aired a new Save_Us promo...with a new "break the code" embedded in it. They need to be careful though, making people anxious is good up to a certain point, after that it just gets annoying.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Oh man, I love Santino more and more each week. His mic skills really are amazing (when compared to other people WWE lets talk on the mic). I think what I first liked was when he was first starting to turn heel, and he'd be talking and someone would interupt him. Ex: Sandman music plays while Santino is talking and while Sandman is walking to the ring, Santino keeps talking like "Who is this guy, why is the music playing...why is he still walking to the ring, i dont even know this guy".

I wouldn't say he is the next Rock, but he really has potential to be entertaining. In WWE, having great mic skills can make you a star. Look at the Rock, he wasnt that great of a wrestler but was loved because of how well he talked.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well how many have aired so far? They have only really mentioned it twice, the first being JR and King mentioning how they have seen it before but that was the first time it interupted them (a few weeks ago) and the second, when it interupted Santino...he alluded to it being Stone Cold. I believe King also said a joke "I hope second coming doesnt mean Man-Tarr".

Im surprised they havent made mention of it, I figure when Jericho does show up its going to be some lame angle where hes "not supposed to be there" due to how he left originally. Knowing the WWE team they will make it so announcers cannot talk about him on air (ala Matt Hardy a couple years ago). Hopefully I am wrong. I really cannot see an angle to bring Jericho in on though, my guess the best way to do it would be to interupt someone like he did on his debut....Santino would of been perfect for this however that would interfere with his Stone Cold thing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

God, if they pull a Vince screwing HBK at Surivivor Series..that will be so lame. I mean, how predictable is that? Didnt Vince also try this before Wrestlemania last year...with Shane McMahon? The only way this would work would be to have it done in a completly different way. We all know that wont happen though, since the writers for WWE suck and will most likely have Orton put HBK in some sad looking attempt at a Sharpshooter while Vince calls for the bell.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I totally marked out for Jericho even though I knew it was going to be him. The promo was great Jericho stuff which we will hopefully get each week. Its going to be interesting to see what direction WWE pushes Jericho in, hes incredibly over right now...I think having him win the WWE championship down the road sometime would be a good move for WWE.

A rivalry between Kennedy and HBK sounds interesting as well, I am glad at least they didnt do what they normally do after HBK loses a big ppv match...having him get injured and put off TV for months.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I hadnt heard of Jericho's reduced schedule, I did hear that if he were to come back he wanted to do it right and on his terms. I dont necessarily see him winning the title from Orton instantly but I also wouldnt rule out a Royal Rumble win for him either. Sure they could do Triple H/Orton....but I think WWE and Triple H is finally coming to the realization that Triple H is golden without the WWE title. Whether it is as a heel or face, Triple H without the title works much better than him with it. I think Triple H is alot like HBK in that light, where he doesnt need a championship to be over.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I loved Kennedy this week, he brought out the fake Razor Ramon and said a quick "Hey glad you could make it" line. The wins for the subtle joke of the week.

Sorry, but there's no real way you can celebrate 15 years in the WWE anymore. The most memorable are either dead, no longer care about wrestling, are too injured to do anything decent, or are employed in a company where they can continue to be memorable to a degree.

The show was basically once again the McMahon show. I expected to hear that this show was like watching a Wrestlemania on free TV, and instead it was just a huge gathering of jobbers and retired wrestlers. Thanks, but no thanks WWE.

Well if what WWE offers doesnt tickle your fancy, you could always watch TNA this Thursday on Spike TV. TNA does a really good job at attempting to recycle old WWE angles involving old WWE talent. Heck, why do we even call it TNA? Lets call it what it is, WCW lite. I would take the "Vince McMahon Show" any day over the "Kurt Angle Show"

FELIPE NO

Well then we both like professional wrestling for different reasons I guess. While I do enjoy the wrestling aspect of it , at the same time I watch it to be entertainined so I enjoy the promo's and the fun stuff they do. I happen to like Vince McMahon and a good portion of the product he puts out. Granted the business isnt as entertaining as it once was, I still find it entertaining.

I dont dislike TNA but I am not really a big fan of it anymore. They were going in the right direction but now its a poor mans version of World Championship Wrestling. Playing the role of on tv heel who is basically booking his own matches...is Kurt Angle and Kurt Angle lacks the charisma, mic skills and rapport with the crowd that Hulk Hogan had. The company tries to make people believe they are at "war" with WWE just as WCW once was but they aren't even close. The on tv insults towards WWE by various wrestlers and their god awful announce team come off as pathetic if anything. I recall Road Dog and Billy Gunn doing some lame TNA promo that they tried to come off as a shoot...where they talked about Shawn Michaels and Triple H...it didnt come off as believable, it just came off as TNA trying to make themselves standout.

I don't think WWE does a horrible job at letting new talent come into their own. Think back 5 or 6 years ago to who was main eventing. Look at WWE's 3 World Champions...you have Randy Orton, Batista and CM Punk...6 years ago did anyone even know who they were? Granted they might not be the most incredible risk taking wrestlers that you would find in ROH or on Japanese promotions...but they come off as entertaining. Thats what WWE is trying to sell. While yeah if WWE revamped and focused mainly on showcasing wrestling ability in the ring and had no storylines...im sure it would appeal to the purist wrestling fans who enjoy that...however the majority of the fans enjoy the entertainment aspect of it just as much....so it all comes down to whats going to bring in more money. WWE to me is fine, it could use some writing tweaks but otherwise I still enjoy it.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah watching those Kurt Angle promo's takes me back. You just dont see that kind of entertainment anymore. Also, I just was watching some of my old ppv dvd's. Backlash 2000 really took me back. I miss when WWE pay per views were entertaining to watch all the way through.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, I think its been pretty much admitted that Jericho hit the girl but honestly she deserved it. From the reports I read, her and her boyfriend were heckling Jericho as fans normally do, considering it was in Canada the jokes/insults probably had the IQ level of 10. Jericho responded with a race joke back, unsure if he was serious or just playing along. He got in his car and they started beating on his car. I think this is where the video comes in.

First of all, idiot fans like this deserve to be beat down by the wrestler. Secondly, some people are making a big deal that Jericho hit a woman. What the fuck. I hate the fact that women think that they can run around getting in peoples faces, even hit someone themselves but if they are struck back...its an outrage. If he would of punched her for just verbal harassment, that would be one thing but thats not the case here.

Go Jericho.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Holy crap.

Spoiler:

RAW and TNA actually have taken me back to a time where I was channel swapping between the two to see whats going on. While the majority of the people on right now are way beyond the age of performing...it still is entertainment. Its ashame this won't last beyond tonight but it is nice to capture that feeling again.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nah not really.

Spoiler:

Vince isn't the one who needs to prove himself, TNA is pretty far behind. Hardy and Val Venis aren't exactly huge names either.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Spoiler:

TNA is still pretty bad. Years ago when it was WCW/WWE feuding, WCW was tolerable during its matches but TNA is just god awful. WWE isn't much better but it brings the entertainment factor. TNA will always appeal to those who enjoy the wrestling classic stuff and those that hate the guys in the lead, but it really needs to pick it up if they hope to compete. I don't think TNA will have a recurring Monday show, will they? If not, than they will get hype for this and then it will dwindle back to mediocrity all over again.

I also like how they didn't really score anyone that is worth a damn. They got a mildly entertaining faux porn star wrestler, alot of guys who are washed up and way too old and Jeff Hardy who has pretty much been in every rehab clinic in the country. AJ Styles is still the only reason worth watching the show...which is fine but its been that way for 5 years now.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Spoiler:

Not really hating on him, but I don't see him being a huge star as he couldn't even do that in WWE. I actually liked him for a while, he was over in the beginning due to his gimmick and how racey it was but he could never really take off as a performer. Once the Attitude era settled in more he seemed lost in the shuffle. Of the countless times he came back, he ended up just being someone to get beat down to give other guys a push.

I hope at the very least TNA does well enough to light a fire under WWE's ass. As I said, its ashame there is not a recurring Monday Night show to go head to head with RAW. Wrestling is at its best when there is competition like that...but most networks want to be douchebags now and not have that kind of competition.

It could end up being similiar to WCW all over again, I don't mean the bad part but the good part. WCW took in alot of WWE rejects and old timers and used them to push their product. I can see TNA doing that but they need something else to be a better hook than guys like Hogan, Scott Hall or Kevin Nash. WCW used the nWO to get people to watch their show and then fans recognized certain talent as being entertaining. For the most part, most wrestling fans do not want just an amazing wrestler...they want that but they also need an entertainment factor in it as well. Look back at some of the Atlanta-bred hot tickets that weren't former WWE. Guys like Disco Inferno and Ernest Miller might not of been the best performers but they had either good entertainment or comedy attached to them. TNA needs to get that going but dont push it too far. WWE is staggering right now as every week their product comes off as weak but is still prefered by most wrestling fans. If something even slightly better was around, it could be profitable for that company.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

TNA is trying, have to give them that much at least.

Spoiler:

Basically its like they are trying to repeat what WCW did, bring in former WWE stars that WWE didn't want anymore and hope it will attract people. The only problem is that back in the day, guys like Kevin Nash and Scott Hall were well liked among fans so it was compelling, but with TNA...they are trying that same thing with guys like Val Venis and Mr. Kenn...Anderson. Nobody cares about them. If they want it to work they need to do something interesting with them. WCW had the whole nWo thing going and it worked. The guys at TNA are just on cue to look hot for a couple weeks and then fade away into midcard status.
