Silence

EA and AKI probably wouldn't be good replacements now since I've read about their Ultimate Muscle wrestling games not being as great as the wrestling games that AKI used to produce. On the other hand, their Def Jam games were said to be OK, so I'm not sure who else WWE could find as their new publisher and developer. Since Yukes isn't being sued, though, maybe another publisher will work with them.

My mistake. Scalping might work instead of Kurt Angle pulling a Mortal Kombat on Eddie by severing his head.

The World Heavyweight title division in TNA doesn't have a lot of good wrestlers in it right now, although as much as Raven has deteriorated in the ring, I'd say that Jeff Hardy is a lot worse due to his spotty and sloppy nature and it'll be terrible if he's the one winning the belt from Jarrett at Victory Road. Damn, the only wrestler I can think of that might be a decent TNA World Heavyweight Champion that could easily be put back into the division would be Ron "The Truth" Killings. Abyss isn't bad, but he wouldn't seem like a marketable Champion right now, and Monty Brown still needs some improvement. As for Raven, it doesn't seem like TNA's ever going to give him the belt, so he might as well retire if Raven can't revive himself in some form/his next feud sucks.

Well, that pissed me off, too. It's only because there weren't enough tag teams (face and heel) paired up on either Smackdown or Raw, though.

Hopefully it is just a rumor, since the Tag belts on both Smackdown and Raw are still active.

Ugh. Just when I thought the news about this game couldn't get worse...

The only way that'll happen is if anyone Kurt feuds with gets their head decapitated, but then they might die from that.

Well, he's got the beard, and he uses a gruff voice in his promos. Aside from that, he's more of a poor man's Hogan, since HHH also had an appreciation night not too long ago on Raw after winning the World Heavyweight title from Randy Orton at Unforgiven (when Orton popped out of the cake), and the politics, of course. Certainly not the charisma, though. Hogan's appreciation night was when he was still in the NWO in WCW. It consisted of Bischoff kissing his ass verbally, as usual, like Flair does to HHH all the time on TV. *covers mouth* Believe me, I am NOT Randy Orton, I'm just pointing something out.

We don't even know about that yet, with the roster for SD vs. Raw being smaller (and with pointless wrestlers like Hardcore Holly, Chuck Palumbo, Garrison Cade, Scotty 2 Hotty, etc.) and more unnecessary features added (chop battles, blur filter effect during submissions, voiceovers ala Attitude and Warzone, possibly horrendous and repetitive commentary again, etc.). I hope the CAW mode hasn't deteriorated because if IGN's Eugene is the best ANYONE will be able to do, then I don't think anyone's going to even use that mode anymore, and then the sales of the next game will drop dramatically because of that.

Has there been any good video game series that HASN'T deteriorated within the last few years?

South Carolina Tennessee West Virginia (don't laugh, my parents, my nephew, and I had to go on a one-night trip to a factory to give Christmas gifts to underprivileged children in 2000) Florida (when I was somewhere around 3 or 4 years old, and it was at Disney World. I know how shitty that place is now, though) Maryland (Washington D.C. trip with my 5th grade class in 1997) Alabama (at the Space Center in 1998) Georgia (on the way to Alabama) Sadly enough, I've only mostly been to southern states since they're closer to North Carolina.

Hulk Hogan and Michael Jackson were two of the names......*sigh*.

It's not just him, though, it's some of the other faces over the years, too (Noble's moveset decreased a lot last year as a face, and Nunzio's better as a heel who dicates the pace in a match with technical wrestling also instead of his depleted underdog moveset he uses now).

But that's why some of us liked / like him. He never seemed to be as delusional and somewhat gibberish when he was younger like he is now, though. As for what he said, he said something about interviewing an overlooked wrestler at Victory Road to help them become a star in TNA, I think. How he's going to do that, I don't know.

WWE missed that opportunity a long time ago with someone suggesting Benoit vs. Jericho for the World Heavyweight title in Winnipeg, I think. Maybe we will still see a truly great match in WWE before the end of this year, though.

HHH:"Jericho-uhhhh, you must cut your hair-uhhhhh and stop copying me-uhhhhh!!" Does Jericho's hair look even worse than it has on recent Raws?

WWE did another one of their shitty controversial PPV endings, though. I can deal without Taker being on TV for a while, though.

You know TNA has a terrible product when D'Lo and Spanky suddenly decide not to be in TNA after getting vignettes filmed for them earlier. Three suggestions would be to take the belt off Jarrett, change Impact's format to an A-show instead of the jobber-squash B-show that TNA has right now, and start improving the overall product by featuring better matches that lead up to the PPV's. Of course, Jarrett runs TNA, and no one's going to go against what Mantel and Jarrett say in their booking, so it'll definitely be hard for any legit World Heavyweight title contender to beat him cleanly without him winning the belt right back.

That shouldn't be surprising at all, considering just one or two years ago that he was EXTREMELY annoying on several Raws during that time. Lawler to Molly at commentary:"Molly, are you a virgin?" *Molly gets a disgusted look on her face* Lawler:"Are you a virgin, Molly?" JR:"Will you stop?!" ------------------------- Lawler going on about Kane doing necrophilia during a match of his:"I've heard of a Hulkamaniac, but a NECROPHILIAC?!?!"

That "bark" he does needs to go, though. It just sounds moronic.

What about Big Show's coffin ride back in 1999 (although at least that was hilarious in a bad way, thanks to the late Bossman), Al Wilson/Dawn Marie (anything involving the entire angle), or Eddie Guerrero's mother having a "heart attack"?

I think she cried a lot, too. A columnist on onlineonslaught.com does a rib on her about it sometimes.

"The Redneck Messiah" nickname was used for Jamie Noble a couple of times by Josh Matthews on Velocity, I think.

I thought Alex Shelley vs. AJ Styles was the best match of the show, and possibly Shelley's best match in TNA so far.

God damn it, the U.S. is definitely going straight to hell now, unfortunately. Edit: Wait, does this only apply to high-speed internet? I don't have that yet.
