Maybe they put him on TV right away, just to piss off CMLL.That would fit Vinnie Mac's m.o. to a tee, wouldn't it?
-
They've already got the A level superstar in Dusty Rhodes. Neither Savage or Rhodes is going to play second fiddle to the other.True but if Vince McMahon really wants to give the middle finger to Hulk Hogan, inducting Randy Savage now would be a great way to do it.

ECW World Heavyweight Championship = WWE Intercontinental Championship.Oy.
Maybe not. The storyline could be read as Trump "trumping" McMahon (pun intended) by choosing a full brand champion instead of a now-secondary one. I doubt either title will be at stake in this anyway.
-
I didnt think he would be ready to wrestle either.D&D should be in the ladder match instead of Regal/Taylor...what the hell have Regal/Taylor done since Armageddon that they deserve to be in the Ladder match?
WWE is promoting a rematch of the Armageddon ladder match. D&D instead of Regal/Taylor means NOT a rematch.

Congrats to UNC Wilmington for scoring all of 10 points tonight by halftime against George Mason.
2 UNCW field goals including a 3-pointer, the remaining first half points on free throws.

I think the second article was an attempt to imitate (for some godawful reason) the sort of humor you'd see on VH1.If that's the new direction of WWE.com, I'd like the old direction back. My head still hurts from reading that nonsense.

Let the jokes fly.Not from this corner. I'm no fan of the political games but it has to be agonizing to go through that. Hope for the best.

how did the fans react to an 11 minute wrestling match?(or however long it was)There's no shame in Joe tapping after a long fought battle but after only 11-13 minutes or so? How is that possible?
-
I just got in, is the new BCS rankings announcement gonna be at halftime of Game 2, or is it going to be late at night like last week?Fox doesn't have a doubleheader today so it can't be that.

Welcome Maryland to the top 25, as they knock off Clemson on the road with a last-second field goal to get to a very, very surprising 7-2.And to think that Maryland struggled earlier this season to beat a pre-brawl Florida International. The Terps have really stepped it up from then to now.
-
--As things stand today, the decision has been made for no more ECW house shows after the end of November. The TV will continue and the ECW wrestlers and feuds would continue on the other house shows.WO.com
Vinnie Mac should just call it WWExtreme and get it over with. Let the ECW name rest back in the same graveyard with WCW already.
-
I'm guessing a good majority of the WWE fan has no clue who Monty is. Maybe if TNA was a bigger entity like WCW was that would happen but I don't think that right now till I see it. CM Punk and Jeff Hardy both worked in TNA, albeit Punk burried TNA after he left but neither of them have gotten jobbed out by WWE.
CM Punk got 'rebuilt' in OVW. And Jeff Hardy made his name in WWE.
The concern seems a valid one. CM Punk was primarily known as an indy guy, Jeff Hardy as WWE, Sabu as ECW and Shannon Moore as a waste of space. Monty Brown may be the first man associated primarily with TNA to jump to WWE.
This is an interesting test case to say the least. If WWE is smart, Monty Brown will be built up strong to encourage future defections. Or Vinnie Mac could just take the same petty attitude that he did to the ex-WCW wrestlers and bury Monty Brown in that Serengeti.

I don't know if it's possible for a more moronic segment than that to ever air on a wrestling show. Let's never find out!

How is it determined what games are what station? CBS is stuck with the lousy Alabama/Ole Miss game, and ESPN gets the Florida/Auburn game.Under the SEC contract, ESPN had the right to select three of the top ten 2006 games before the season even started. Florida/Auburn was such a selection. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel did a writeup on how SEC football gets allocated by the television nets.
-
Navy QB Brian Hampton suffered a season-ending leg injury early in that game against Rutgers, shades of the Theismann injury supposedly. The Mids have played lifelessly since then.
-
Someone tell the financial genius that double 619 is 1238, not 1228.
-
It's a mistake to do Lashley vs. Batista, they should save that for 'Mania.One could say the same about Booker vs. Finlay.

Impact will be a special two hours on November 16, one hour in subsequent weeks.
Full press release now in pdf on Kurt Angle's site.

A little off topic of Angle, but is Joe now the NWA champ since he won??Non-title match.
-
From PWInsider:It's interesting to note that at no point has any source close to TNA actually indicated that the creative team change was the "surprise" promoted on the TNA website by President Dixie Carter, as had been floated in reports online. It's conceivable that was the surprise, but it's also possible that the surprise is a completely separate issue altogether. If this is the planned surprise, TNA has done themselves a great diservice. My hope is that it's an entirely different situation. I guess this will be be made clear one way or another this Sunday.
A later PWInsider news item stated more definitively that Russo is coming in but is NOT the surprise, essentially the same as the PWTorch report.

kurt angle dying would be 10x worse for the wwe than any other death. it would show how a horrible business killed an olympic gold medal wrestler. a legit amateur wrestler with all of the talent in the wolrd crossing over to the professional ranks only to be sucked in & spit out dead. its true. thats gotta weigh on vince more than anything.Agreed. Angle dying in WWE under these circumstances would get Vince McMahon dragged before a congressional committee if not a grand jury.

It won't happen, but a man can dream.Let's hope for his sake it stays just a dream.
WWE Goin' All O'er the World!!

WWE should try to be WWE overseas. The Japanese WWE fans have tended to want the same sports entertainment experience that American fans get anyway with the same "superstars" like John Cena, Undertaker and so forth. Maybe the WWE can make new brands but there's no need to divide them up by ethnic boundries.
