I agree with Barkely, the Jazz will win the West.

Orton won't lose sunday. Their giving him a long run like they did Cena. The WWE title isn't getting hotshot around anymore, and I love it.

The Bill guy ruled.

Its obvious WWE is a Republican-led company. They wrote the promos, and McCain got the big one with the best material. And as a McCain supporter, thats cool.

Regal must win. God that would be awesome.

I like fantasy booking and all but.. The WWE is doing great right now, there's really no need for this. What do you want, 1999 WWE? I'll take 2008 anyday. Storyline coherence, the most creative match finishes they've done in a while(Shoddily put together matches? of all the things you could've criticized them for? thats been a strong point) not a bunch of BS heel/face turns or Shock TV crap. Their marketing is as good as its been as well, and as a fan of good business, that makes me happy. You've been a fan 8 years, so you were brought up on shock TV stuff. Watch the garbage TNA puts on TV every week for that.

There are a lot of other things on the show besides the tournament.

This is the most fucking surreal thing. Wow.

Present day Taker is better worker than present day Michaels. Period.

Steve McNair was as big a credit to the National Football League as your gonna find. One of the most admirable men your gonna find to. Hopefully he'll eventually get a spot in the Hall because he damn sure deserves it. Happy retirement Mr. McNair.

Adamle did fine. Commentary isn't about "calling the moves" like Styles and guys like Tenay like to do. It's relaying strategy, character, and what role the match plays in the overall story to the fans, who couldn't care less what a "magistral cradle" is. That's why Ross is still the best in the biz, even if he does sometimes confuse a "twist of fate" and a "whisper in the wind".

Taker. Better worker, bigger aura, more left to give. Michaels body is broken and Taker could go a few more years if he wants. He's in phenominal shape.

Adamle hasn't done that bad, IMO. It's taped, i know, but still.

Main event was okay, mainly because of the MMA stuff that eventually disintigrated into standard Angle reversal formula stuff that killed it for me, but the right guy went over. Trigg needs to take West's place. Period.

This HBK/Tista feud is like, some of the best stuff in years, promo-wise.

ECW is what it should be. A place for young up-and-comers to hone their skills on national TV. The last thing WWE needs is the Sandman, Sabu, Balls Mahoney, etc. dragging their old asses around the ring in oversaturated hardcore matches for nostalgia purposes. The Benoit thing only presented another reason why that type of television show(original ECW) should not be attempted every week in 2007/8.

Agree with HTQ's sentiments.

They were in Green Bay, it was not Canada.

How can that be possible? He's had the most good-great matches of any pro wrestler on the planet the last three years. Royal Rumble 07 vs. Umaga is one of the top 10 matches I've ever seen. Period. Not to mention vs. Lashley(which I adored), vs. HBK for an hour on Raw, vs. Orton at SS and NWO, vs. Edge at SS and Unforgiven, vs. HHH at WM22 If you haven't seen any of these, check them out. He doesn't do as well on TV because he doesn't have time to play to his strengths(long term selling, storytelling, comeback spots,etc.).

Good to see Cena sticking around for Backlash.

Cole is better than Tenay. Announcers don't get payed to recite moves as their performed. Elaborate. Get in the wrestlers mind. Tenay is a mark for himself. "The Professor", huh? Get a fucking clue.

Kansas had better rape Memphis, I swear to God.

Make Michael Cole the PBP guy for TNA, move tenay to the 3rd guy spot he had in WCW. You would have potentially the three biggest tools on planet earth calling your weekly Impact.

I don't mean to begrudge people their opinions, but who do you guys like better at PBP than JR? Cole? Schiavone? Monsoon? I think Ross is clearly tops in conveying emotion/storytelling.

Nobody is going to retire Austin because he has been retired 5 years. Rock is retired as well. It seems as though wrestling fans have been disillusioned as to what retirement actually is. If Austin WAS stupid enough to do another match, just make it against Vince or something.
