Steve Corino would be a VERY odd choice. Has no-one even thought of Colt Cabana, because everyone is thinking of someone else. ROH might be laughing their asses off at all of the speculation. OK. Probably not, but it's an idea.

Anyways, I commented on the wrong fued there. I would pay for ANYONE to go over HBK other than HHH and Nash. Jericho holds two pins over Nash. No-one will remember whatelse happened apart from the cynics. The facts are simple. Jericho pinned Nash. OK. Only to be squashed by Goldberg I suppose but the thought is there.

It'll be Tommy Dreamer. As for Terry Funk, I don't exactly think that the Funk v Punk will be good at all.

The fans were DYING to see Goldberg defeat Triple H as soon as he came out of his chamber. People wanna see Goldberg beat HHH. They think he can do it. They think that Goldberg is the man to FINALLY defeat Triple H. That's why it'll make them money. As for buckets of money, put the greatest over guys ever in the ring these days and they won't draw much.

Maybe this couldve been the one out of 10 for A-Train As for what webmasterofwrestlegame said, the difference between WM and Summerslam was Wrestlemania was an amazin show and Summerslam was average. And there were NO signs of improvement after Wrestlemania, only bad signs of how long Triple H reign would last and how many new stars would job to HBK. Now, we have Jericho CONSTANTLY going over Nash, Orton probably going over HBK soon and a new champion on the way on RAW. As for Smackdown, Eddie Guererro is being made into a star, John Cena is improving, and McMahons were lacking on last nights Smackdown. Things didn't look great for Smackdown after Wrestlemania, with the man that won the belt would be remembered for botching a SSP that night, and the top star was injured. Now, we have had two average and one very good show from the PPVs and even though TNA are better just now IMO, WWE seem to be realising some faults, and are building for the better future.

WWE haters take note of this. Stop complaining. If you stop watching what is the point of telling everyone unless you actually WANT to be flamed. OK. WWE have become a bit hard to watch, but there have been SIGNS of improvement. Of course, all of the TNA fans and the WWE critics are gonna go all 'WHAT IMPROVEMENTS ?!?!?!' so I guess I might as well explain them now. The RAW matches that we expected to see at Summerslam were obviously being kept for Unforgiven, which is a good idea, because they are as well keeping bigger money matches for the exclusive to RAW PPV. We may not want to see Shane v Kane, but the build for it has actually been quite good. They are building heat for it quite well. No point bitching about the fued now, because we KNOW it's happening. La Resistance going over The Dudleyz was good since Dudleyz are a past it tag team and La Resistance are only bad because they are green. On Smackdown, I didn't care about Brock Lesnar as a face, but I cared about him as a heel. He's a heel again. Good move. Basically, even though WWE is getting bad, it IS getting better, and so many people hate it just because it's cool to hate it. Give it a chance in the next few weeks and you MAY be surprised.

Raven is EASILY the most over guy in the company and the fans wanna see him win the belt, but he seems to go even MORE over with every time he fails ! TNA sees this and keep the title from him. Don't be surprised if he beats Styles cleanly in the centre of the ring soon.

Well, after 10 years of the best bands in the world coming to Scotland for T in the Park, we had the big 10th anniversary show this year. It was the first time I went to the festival, and here are my thoughts on the bands and sets they produced. SATURDAY Martin Grech A favourite of Kerrang. They are an emo band of the worst order. To be fair the music was pretty nice, but the voice of the guy was pretty poor. I didn't get into the guy and his band a lot and they will get a small rating. Rating : ** Skin The lead singer of Skunk Anansie has quite a voice and she put on a top class show to send the fans crazy. Skin had the crowd dancing and jumping and clapping and she also had about 500x more people than Grech had watching her. 'Faithfulness' is the new single and it sounded good here. Rating : ***3/4 Biffy Clyro One of the bands I was looking forward to. They opened with some new stuff including the first single from their latest album. The song is called 'The Ideal Height'. They played two songs from their debut album. '57' got the biggest reception of the two. They played mostly newer stuff though. It wasn't as good as I've seen em but it was good. Rating : ***1/2 Proclaimers And then we get to the first real festival band of the weekend. They had the fans in the palms of their hands. 'I'm On My Way' and 'Letter From America' had the fans jumping and absolutely LOVING it. 'I Would Walk 500 Miles' was just amazing. Most of the fans left after that but it didn't matter, Proclaimers had left their mark on T in the Park. Rating : ****1/2 The Jeevas Well, I'm not completely familiar with this band, but they were amazing anyways. They played a couple of Kula Shaker songs and basically had the look and the feel of a festival band. Rating : **** Idlewild The homecoming of a very talented Scottish band. They were the first band I actually WANTED to see. They certainly weren't as good as The Proclaimers, but with songs like 'American English' and 'When I Argue I See Shapes', they still have what it takes to get the fans pumping. Again, it wasn't the best performance I have seen from them. Rating : **** The Flaming Lips WOW ! OK, this was the show that stole the weekend. Lips were taking the place of The White Stripes who pulled out, but by the end of the set, people were asking 'The White Who ?'. They started by coming out with red shirts and played 'Seven Nation Army' as a tribute to White Stripes before playing 'Race For The Prize'. They cracked through hits like 'Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots' and 'She Don't Use Jelly' before finishing with 'Do You Realise'. Legendary set. Rating : *****+++ REM This was SUPPOSED to be set of the weekend, but two bands decided to ruin that and you'll find out whoelse later. Opening with classic 'Finest Worksong' and going through 'Daysleeper', 'Imitation Of Life', 'The Great Beyond' and the classic 'Losing My Religion'. They played 'Man on the Moon' before the encore, which included 'Country Feedback' and 'Everybody Hurts' and 'It's The End Of The World'. Quite the set, and every bit as good as people say it was. Rating : ***** SUNDAY The Darkness OK, they weren't QUITE as good as REM, but they played a rip roaring set. Imagine Queen in the year 2003 and you can grasp what was on stage at this point. 'Gimme a D ! Gimme An Arkness' was the line of the weekend. Without a doubt, The Darkness will be headlining the festivals which they have been opening within the next 3 years. Rating : ****3/4 Hell Is For Heroes Highly energetic set from the supposed 'Saviours of Brit Rock' even though that IS just an NME blowjob. They played a great 40 minute set filled with some b-sides as well as some great songs from the 'Neon Handshake' album. Good enough to keep me entertained untill the next band. Rating : **** The Thrills Stick them in a tent with 4,000 people and they will rock like a mutha fucka ! Tremendous set. 'Big Sur' and 'One Horse Town' were obvious highlights of the set. Other songs that really good a lot of reaction were 'Your Love Is Like Las Vegas', 'Don't Steal Our Sun' and 'Say It Aint So'. They closed with new single 'Santa Cruz ( You're Not That Far )'. So far, The Thrills can do no wrong. Rating : ***** The Coral Currently trying to break America, The Coral were rather uninspiring today. They had high expectations and could NOT get to the levels. 'Dreaming of You' and 'Pass It On' were missing something while 'I Remember When' and 'Goodbye' rocked more than any other song on the set. Not a BAD set, but it wasn't GREAT either. Rating : *** Supergrass Another band with high expectations, and unlike The Coral, this band lived up to them. 'Sun Hits The Sky' was the opener and made everyone happy right from the start. 'Seen The Light', 'Richard III', 'Pumping On Your Stereo' and 'Moving' were great festival songs. The last two songs were 'Alright' and 'Caught By The Fuzz'. Good set. Rating : ****1/2 Feeder They would have been better if their set hadnt been riddled with sound problems. They were cut 15 minutes short which was a damn shame. They still got 'Buck Rogers' and 'Just a Day' in there though. I'll rate it for what it was, and that is an energetic sing a long. Rating : **** The Charlatans Well, when you put songs like 'One To Another', 'The Only One I Know' and 'North Country Boy' at the start, you're either going to put on a dull set for the rest of the time or you have faith in your back catalogue, unfortunately, the first was the case. New songs lacked power but the finishing 'How High' was amazing. The set was a disappointment though. Rating : *** Coldplay They are currently making waves in the US and they just finished their 18 week tour. Pretty impressive. Great song after great song followed each other. They showed why America have taken to them so easily. What do we call this set. AWESOME ! Rating : *****+ Band of the Weekend : The Flaming Lips Biggest Disappointment : The Coral Song of the Weekend : REM - Losing My Religion Well, you don't get much better than T in the Park. If your in Scotland next year, GO ! Oasis, Stone Roses and Manic Street Preachers are rumoured while Madonna SEEMS to be confirmed as a headliner ! OK, not GREAT news, but there WILL be better. Overall : *****+++

Vince Russo must have had a stick shoved up his ass by Jerry Jarrett. I think that the whole Russo/Jarrett booking thing works well. Vince Russo is doing wonders with TNA. I think he has seen the error of his ways. He still actually does include FAR too much screwjob stuff but the wrestling is amazing so far. I never thought I would say it ... but well done Russo, you may well be providing the top competition untill Ring of Honor gets a TV deal.

Wait no longer, Wargames is next week and it would be CRIMINAL not to end the fued in there.

Raven v Styles was nuts and I loved it. I went for Styles v Raven and I'll say again that THIS was the show that made TNA my no. 1 fed.

Well, all of you WWE defenders should watch a tape of RAW and then TNA from this week and then shut up. I've been watching and sitting looking and saying that TNA is a bush league effort for too long now. TNA is better and people should face up to that. WWE are lucky to put on a great show a month. TNA seem to do it every week now. So, shut up about Vengeance and realise that TNA is THE no. 1 fed in US today.
