The WB has a 5 hour block of programming on Sunday that's all reruns (5-10), and UPN is showing 2 hours of the "African American" comedies 2x, so only 3-4 hours of programming needs to be cut from both networks. The big question is if Smackdown stays on Fridays or moves to Sunday.

There's a difference between a canned UFC show with highlights of fights from years ago and a live TNA special.

Sting looked real good for being 46... not much ring rust, still quick and in great shape.

Holy fuck, that was awesome.

That was a creative finish... ref kinda fucked it up though.

AJ/Tanashi was pretty good, even though Tanashi botched a couple spots but they covered okay. He's charismatic as fuck.

That was a great go-home show... good main event that got about 12 min. Lots of great promo packages and interviews. Best pre-PPV Impact TNA has done. Seriously, they outdid themselves in cramming stuff into this show.

Huh? Of course they can afford Lesnar. He'd probably sign for less than what Sting took.

The fans popped for the title change, but they didn't care after the shock of that wore off. Props to Edge as he deserved a title run, but I doubt this lasts past the Royal Rumble.

CROWD IS RABIDLY BOOING CENA. LOUD cena sucks chants... they just turned the crowd way down.

This is seriously a Worst PPV Ever Candidate going into the last match.

Full schedule.

I thought the Flair/HHH cage match was incredibly good and would deserve to be on the DVD.

He already burnt his bridge with TNA. He was part of "Team Mexico" in the Super X Cup.

I'm sorry, they're not going to show growth in the crappy timeslots they're in and with them constantly changing timeslots.

Best... host...ever!

Great minds think alike.

Weren't a lot of the same people bitching about them not doing anything with Strong/Shelley/Aries? Somebody's gotta job to put those guys over!

Better spoilers from Popups Insider, including the backstage segments

This looks like a real good couple shows besides the crowd's antics and the Sting skit. Putting together Generation Next is the best thing they could have done. Here's the last match, BTW: Christian & Rhino b Chris Harris & James Storm in a non-title match when Christian pinned Harris. Crowd was dead for everything after the Sting segment. No Sting on television apparently.

One of them was hurt fairly badly in Sid's car wreck, which killed all their momentum. It was Sid, Scorpio, and Furnas/Lafon in the car. Of course Sid escaped without a scratch and Scorpio got banged up but was fine enough to wrestle after a week or so.

I can see it now...remember the Machines back in the 80s? You could have Huge Mofo, Super Mofo, and Giant Mofo. Seriously...Vince sees big guy, probably the workrate of a bottle of Pepsi...and he sees instant ratings. Then again...he needs to quit sniffing glue. This guy is a double whammy because he's tall, huge, and roided to hell. Vince probably blew his load the first time he saw him.

I'd mark for him as Daivari's version of 911 hard, but you know they'll have him trying to wrestle 10 minute + matches with Taker.

Here's my best shot: Christian and Sting vs. Jarrett and Monty Brown X title: Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels NWA Tag Titles: AMW vs. Team 3D Abyss vs. Rhino Raven vs. ? AJ Styles vs. NJPW's Tanahashi Old Age Outlaws v.s. Apollo/Homicide Truth/Naturals v.s. Team Canada X Division #1 contender's Battle Royal/Elimination Match with Sabin, Williams, Bentley, Strong, Aries, Shelley, Dutt, Jay Lethal, Shannon Moore, Shark Boy, whoever else. (They need to build someone up to face Joe, even though they do have a guy under contract who would be a credible challenger than everyone has forgotten about).

WWE overall was better, but late 2000 WCW was probably better than late 2005 WWE. And the few months of 2001 that WCW survived were pretty fun, especially since AJ Styles came in and they finally signed Christopher Daniels. Essentially they finally started building up new talent in that last Russo run and some of the Power Plant guys were finally starting to get good by the time the company folded.
