Downhome

That was a horrible finish to the Christian/Rhino match. Going by the crowd, I don't think the fans even expected that to be the finish.

I'm shocked that Senshi would even go along with the Jackass angle having anything to do with him after some of the stuff I've heard about the guy and how picky he is.

I've enjoyed this match so far, some really cool spots and eliminations.

Another random question: What sort of tag team is Truth/Hoyt?

Why do they have someone as over as a face like Eric Young, helping JJ?

I'd like to know how Spike has survived all of these years. Abyss pins Raven for the win.

I'd like to know how Spike has survived all of these years.

Holy shit, Spike just about killed himself, and pretty much totally missed Abyss on the table.

I love seeing Spike being promoted in TNA. WWE really f'd up when they let him go.

From PWInsider:

That was, without a doubt, one of the stupidest ideas for a match that I've ever seen in my entire life.

Bloody hell, why would they add something like this to this match? They have Williams shitting his tights, and trying to go through with the match.

Nevermind. A "Jackass" gimmick? Wow.

Ok, someone catch me up. What in the world are those guys doing now?

That was a great start to the show. Keep in mind that my comments are from someone who hasn't watched hardly any TNA at all this year.

I just started watching this PPV just like I did the last WWE PPV, woohoo!

I'd laugh if this was all about Lex Luger.

Wasn't it said he never got around to signing an extension and had a verbal agreement with WWE? PWInsider recently said that if he has a contract, then it was just recently signed. They said, contract or not, he's set to return to WWE TV very soon. The Vince Russo interview that I listened to sure didn't sound like it was in "character" to me.

Nope, I never bothered to listen to his interviews before, but I'll search them out online now. If you have links for those, post away.

You have to pay to listen to it. It was actually a really good interview.

Whoa, talk about a game taking its time! I'm an hour and twenty minutes or so into the game so far, and while it's been great so far, there's been a ton of dialogue. I've heard that's the case for the first hour or two, so I'm not totally shocked by it. I'm also told that it really picks up after the second hour and then the game really starts to flow. Anyway, I'm in it now, and I'm loving it.

The "speach" in the game reminds me of Banjo-Kazooie. UPDATE: I still haven't played the game yet.

I'm listening to a two hour interview with Vince Russo that PWInsider posted on their site recently, a "classic" interview from January of 2006, and some of the stuff he says makes me look forward to having him in TNA, and some of the stuff he says just pisses me off and really makes me feel like a total fool for looking forward to him coming in at all. Here are just a couple of pros and cons from the interview: PROs: -He wants to give all of the guys on TV storylines, instead of just putting them on TV to wrestle. -He thinks that guys like AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, and all of those guys can really be major players, but they all need storylines. They all need major character development and time to grow. CONS: -Like we've all heard before, he looks at all title belts as nothing but props. To him title wins are pointless and they don't mean anything, and never have and never will. He says that he's never seen anyone ever win a title, since all wrestling is fake. That is how he takes up for putting the WCW CW title on Madusa and Ed Ferarra and the WCW World Title on David Arquette. -He doesn't like foreign talent who can't speak English at all. He doesn't believe that they can ever get over because even if they are the best in the world in the ring, they are missing that "other half", being able to speak English, and to connect with the fans on that level. And from all of that, we go back to other obvious facts. He might believe everyone needs an angle, but we've seen what he did with AJ in the past, etc. I'm willing to give him a shot, and I'm sure we'll all know what has "Russo" all over it. Eh, if nothing else, at least we know it'll mix things up. I don't think he's booked anywhere other than Ring of Glory since he got saved, so who knows what type of material he'll write now? If nothing else, to me that'll be one of the most interesting things to look forward to seeing at this point.

I picked it up at Blockbuster tonight, but I haven't played it yet. I'll dive in it here pretty soon.

Back when the Monday night wars were going on, I believe WWE would force fans who had WCW type shirts on who would be on camera to turn it inside out, or put on a WWE shirt istead. I heard about and saw that a lot back then. I'm not sure if WCW did the same or not.
