They're talking about Crush on FOX News now...

There's only two of us in the chat right now. This "bar room brawl" is epic: -It's not in a bar, and instead they have a cheap ass bar outside the ring with different drinks on it. -There is a toilet sitting next to the bar. -In the ring, there's a tiny table with four normal steel chairs with a drink or two on it. -At the start of the match, Rhino was trying to toss one of the chairs to hit Storm who was standing on the entrance way, but it slipped or something and it went flying into the crowd hitting the fans instead. -The angle of this match right now is that the bar is there to tempt Rhino, and he's drinking all of the different drinks, and West and Tenay or putting it over like he "fell off the wagon", and "noooooooooo Rhino, noooooooooooo!!!" As the match goes on, they put over how drunk Rhino seems to be getting. EDIT: Wow, what stupid booking there. They have Rhino give in to the temptation, drink the entire match, and get drunker and drunker. In the end, because Rhino was so disoriented, Storm just beat the shit out of Rhino with trash cans, chairs to the head, did the superkick, then pinned him after a beer bottle to the back of Rhino's head.

That double stomp was awesome indeed.

If any of you have SopCast, it's working perfectly on there, the MMA-TV channel.

Yep, it looks just as awesome as I imagined way back. I've been tracking this film for almost two years now, have the screenplay and from what I've read it's fantastic. This is likely the #1 movie that I'm looking forward to next.

Is Batista actually smaller, or is it just an illusion because he's in there with Khali?

I can't* believe that they have MVP on TV right now using all of this as part of his angle with Matt Hardy. *ok...I can believe it.

If you ask me, this deal with Chavo right now is the best thing he's done in a while, even if it went about a minute too long.

Ok, I know that the response I get to the following question will be something like "because it's TNA", but I'm going to go ahead and toss out this question, if only rhetorically: Why in the world would they hype something this big, getting such major press and everything, before they even have it officially 100% cleared with all the right people? I can only assume they went ahead with it, knowing full well that it might not go through, only because they knew that they would still get a lot of press no matter if it went through or not, just because of the build. Still, that leaves them with the possibility that it could piss off a lot of potential new fans, but I guess they were willing to trade that for the press.

I think it's likely that he takes care of himself now, but who knows how much damage was done to him over the years.

I recently got the past month of OVW shows so I'm about to start watching again. I'm sure that some of you watch the episodes, but I don't see a thread here talking about it. So consider this something of an OVW discussion thread. If you watch, which guys and gals do you really see something special in right now?

Stevie...getting mic time (for about 8 seconds)? Nice.

Kelly and Balls?

Coming from Boogey, that big splash actually looked quite impressive.

I'm sure this was mentioned a month or two ago, but I just discovered it. Have any of you tried out that Pac-Man Championship Edition game on XBLA? I fucking love that little game.

NoCalMike, you're out of your mind if you think the 360 has already peaked. While the PS3 has exclusives, many that were going to be exclusive to the PS3 are coming to the 360, and of those many reviews give the nod more towards the 360 version. In my opinion, and for most everyone else, the online community is way better on the 360. Heck, if you're into the online thing then in my opinion the 360 is the way to go just for that reason. More people have 360 systems, so more people are online. Not just that though, the entire setup is way better on the 360 as well. One of the major exclusive PS3 games, a game that the PS3 had in all of their video packages in order to push the system, just came out and the reviews have been very, very poor for it - that game is Lair. Most reviews say that it's not a horrible game, but instead it's just...well, a huge letdown. What was supposed to be a huge game on PS3, is ending up more like mediocre title. Both systems will have great games, and do have great games, but it's leaning way in favor of the 360 right now and that doesn't look to be changing any time soon. The 360 has Bioshock coming out this month, a 360 exclusive (well, when it comes to home consoles that is...it's also going to PC), and it's supposed to be huge. I've only seen one review for it so far, but that one review gave it a 10 out of 10 score. There's just not enough on the PS3 right now, and not enough of stuff coming out leading into 2008, for me to recommend that system right now. Heck, the only game so far that's tempted me to try to get a PS3 is the new Ratchet & Clank game...and let me tell ya, I really, really want that game. I was totally more in favor of the PS2 over the Xbox last gen, but that's totally changed this time around so far. Then we have the Wii...

Well, no matter what they do, lets at least hope that they don't do the Vince/Steph incest angle.

When I think of this Vince storyline, I can't help but think of the episode of The Simpsons where Mr. Burns discovers that he has a son as well. I wonder if they'll play it up like that.

We have a winner.

It wasn't a TE kid, but at one point they were going to bring up Nikita Fink as half-sister or something to Stephanie. And a craptacular ending to one of the worst Raw's in a long time. Total dogshit. Yeah, I remember that also, but that isn't what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about wasn't actually a plan or anything, it was just some Tough Enough kid doing a promo on the show goofing around, saying that he's coming to WWE and that he's Vince's long lost son or something like that. I don't remember which one said all of that though. Surely someone else remembers this.

Oh for fuck's sake... Who was the Tough Enough kid who was going to be in this angle?

I would have marked out so hard had a Hummer rammed Vince's limo once he got inside of it.

Just for the hell of it, they should show Vince walk outside once again, only this time someone shoots him or something.

For a second there I actually thought Cena was hurt.

Cena and Umaga work so well together.
