Looks like I'll be saving some money this december.

MJF inteview with Katie Couric Poor Marty. He's like this while some fat heartless fuck that can go and make fun of him on the radio is healthy. Life isn't fair.

It's a smart move, marketing/brand-awareness wise. These guys are "comodities" and the easier it is for fans to recognize them, the better. When fans do recognize them, all it makes them think is that TNA is a watered down version of WWE/WCW with has been stars from those two companies. They should do like ECW did and have them run down their old WWF/WCW gimmicks, and then have them become more realistic characters. You sure as hell don't want people to go "Hey, remember when these guys were at their peak in the WWF?" every time they come out. Anything they do differently with them is better. Imagine if when Hall and Nash jumped to WCW, they had came out with crappy versions of their WWF music, instead of being the NWO. People would have been reminded of the WWF every time they came out, and not in a positive way for WCW. Rather than that happening, it became "Man, these guys used to be cartoon characters in the WWF, and now they're like real people".

Way to go, Donald.

If ECW could do it, why can't TNA?

All someone had to do was watch the show, look at the matches, and listen to the crowd reactions to see that Guerrero, Benoit, and Jericho should have been on a much higher level than they were. They stood out head and shoulders over a majority of those 300 wrestlers in both talent and response from the crowds. I mean, there were very loud "Eddy sucks" chants every week. Did Bischoff not watch his own show? After Benoit, Guerrero, Malenko, and Saturn left, there was seriously like no reason to watch WCW. (Not to mention there was the little problem of Benoit being the world champion) It drove the nail into WCW's coffin. The ratings back me up on that. March 2000 was the first month WCW didn't get at least a 3.0 since the beginning of 1996. At the same time, the radicals helped the WWF reach it's best year in terms of profits. How did he flounder? He received a push. He had a ton of mic time. He won the intercontinental title. And he was involved in one of the most memorable storylines of the year. The Chyna/Eddie storyline was pure gold. If you don't remember how incredible he was as a heel in 2000, I'll be happy to upload something. You would make Buff Bagwell, Billy Kidman, Norman Smiley, and Kanyon a priority for handing out pushes? If you were Eric Bischoff, would you be trying to put WCW out of business before Russo gets there or something?

Apparently Umaga hasn't seen this video. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgil7_ecw...open-challenges

I don't think that's what he expected. I think he just wanted to be treated like he mattered. And you can't tell me he shouldn't have been on a higher level than he was. He was an excellent heel and the crowds all hated him. He definitely deserved to be at least at the TV title or US title level. He was a lot more over than most of the guys feuding over those belts. Here's another interesting page from his book.

I'm sure Eddie was thrilled to be wasted and held back for years. Have you read Eddie's book?

Good, I'm tired of being able to read wrestling books in one day. Bischoff's book was interesting, but I picked it up on my way to school yesterday and finished it before Raw came on. Also I know Bret won't hold anything back. I don't seriously believe for a moment that Eric never had a bad word to say about anyone in WWE as long as he's been there, but he didn't criticize anyone.

Jericho's 1004 holds promo, Jericho at Slamboree, and Jericho's Raw debut can be found here http://www.theamazingbirdshow.com/ I've got much much more Jericho in WCW if anyone is interested.

There's a taping tonight?

That was either a total coincidence or the best foreshadowing WWE writers have ever done. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...deoID=792764728 the Rock in Concert Also, myspace, vidilife, and daily motion are much better places to look for and upload wrestling videos than youtube. Full matches and no deleting.

Note to all the ladies on TSM: Cena on Stern said he is not going to say no to sex. (Even if you're 280 pounds) Cena: It's not like I'm going out there to seek these chicks, but opportunities will arise. I'm just not going to say no. Stern: Look at you, you are not going to say no. Girls, he's not going to say no. Cena: Everybody out there listening, girls, I'm not going to say no. Stern: Artie, who's having the good life? Stern: Uh, outside is a 300 pound chick who is dying to meet you. She's storming the Sirius building right now. Cena: You know what, I've got some time today, I'll see what I can do. Stern: Yeah, you don't mind banging her. Cena: Absolutely not. Why can't female celebrities be like that?

I wonder when they'll tell Marty about it. He still seems excited and set on coming back.

She looks better in the bottom picture than she does in the top right.

I like how there was a much hotter woman on the left side of the screen when Candice was stripping.

This is actually a damn good Edge promo.

Letdown of the century.

Calling Marty Jannetty as the special guest.

Why is there only two ECW guys when there's 10 Smackdown people? What's up with that?

Lance Storm is going to be giving his thoughts on each wrestling show every week on his website. Here's his thoughts on this week, if anyone is interested. http://www.stormwrestling.com/tvthoughts.html

The top rope angleslam came after the kip up.

Angle didn't give him a normal angle slam, Shawn countered it. Better watch it again. That was hardly a superhuman comeback. It wasn't even a comeback. Before the kip up, Shawn had done two dives off the top rope and a low blow and some other moves. He was already on the offensive. Yes, adrenaline makes up for the momentary no selling.

Is Kurt Angle not an olympic gold medalist anymore? Why do they keep saying Former?
