When was the last time anyone cut from WWE's midcard became a big deal in TNA? I can understand an argument for Christian, but he was already on the cusp of being a big star for WWE, had they not aborted his push in the summer of 2005.

Interesting. I really hope WWE doesn't drop the ball with the new Morrison push like they've done with so many others in the past.

I attended a Big Time Wrestling show last night and missed this. Is Edge/Morrison really that good or is it being overhyped?

- Nobody backstage was surprised at Sim Snuka being released. WWE largely blamed Snuka for the scary bump the Undertaker ended up taking at WrestleMania XXV when he dove out of the ring. Snuka was the "cameraman" who was supposed to catch him. While feelings are mixed as to whether Snuka saved 'Taker or was to blame for the bump, WWE has mostly blamed him and didn't use him again. - Candice Michelle's release also wasn't a big surprise backstage. Some in WWE were upset that she was working on other projects while convalescing from her recent ankle injuries and most feel that she was never the same after returning from her collarbone injuries. Michelle was apparently a bit surprised at the release as she had just been given clearance to return to the ring. Credit: PWInsider

I'm tired of Batista, but he's gone often enough that he usually isn't a problem to me.

Perhaps, I'd never stopped to consider that it was anything but a joke (especially considering he was playing a smart-ass DX member in the midst of the Attitude Era) but you may be on to something.

Lots of fun stuff on that undercard, especially the London/Kidman outing. Angle/Show and Cena/Booker are both dull and by the numbers, and that Taker/JBL match only manages to be okay.

I always took that to be a joke.

The Danielson/Black main event this week was AWESOME. They really pulled out all the stops and wrestling for a complete (commercial free) 20 minute streak. It easily put anything I've seen on WWE/TNA programming as of late to shame.

I heard a fun rumor once that Danny Doring and Steve Corino tag teamed her and finished with a golden shower. No source, but I'm not making this up, pretty sure this was a part of that uber-fun DVDVR urban legend thread from back in the day.

Yeah, but how much (if any) was papered? I seem to remember hearing that there were still unsold tickets up to pretty close to the event.

Yeah, me too. Katy Perry in general has been my guilty pleasure since last summer.

That's what an (un)healthy diet of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh will do for your imagination.

I just got around to ECW tonight, and that Bourne/Morrison match was very impressive. I'm really hoping that WWE continues to groom them both as stars of the future, because they stole the show. Easily the best WWE television match I've seen in a long time.

I'm sure this episode will surface on megavideo before too long.

The hilarity continues. Would any of us really miss Texas? One less red state, amirite?

Josh Matthews, obviously. Remember the time he interferred in the JBL/Booker T match at Survivor Series and knocked Orlando Jordan off the apron? That was pure gold, folks.

Yeah, and the funny thing is that all of their cds have done really well. Side note: Chinese Democracy is on iTunes now. I might download "Better" but I don't really like anything else on the album.

the brothers hardy was good. jericho/steamboat was surprisingly good MITB was good minus the ending the divas battle royale was crap minus santino and JBL/Rey was 21 seconds.. its been good so far... cena/edge/show turned out better than I imagined it would That sounds pretty decent. I know some will laugh at me for asking, but what kind of snowflakes are you thinking for ratings?

From what I'm gathering from this thread, Wrestlemania has turned out to be a huge disappointment, save for Taker/Shawn?

Nickelback are, for the most part, horrible. And the vast majority of the people who come into my store asking for their CDs, come across as being complete idiots. What pisses me off the most about Nickelback is that they have become the blueprint for every other "modern radio rock" band and have an army of clones (I'm looking at Three Days Grace, Theory of a Deadman, Saving Abel, etc).

Exactly, and there's no way that those two are going to let their big Wrestlemania match be anything less than a classic.

If Koko B. Ware is HOF-worthy, than so is a majority of any semi-popular midcarder from the last ten years. Seriously, I can't wait to see The Godfather, Goldust, Eugene, Val Venis, Rikishi, and others get inducted.

Putting those last three matches together like that is going to be a mistake. They should save that divas battle royal until late in the show, stick it in between HBK/Taker and Orton/HHH.
