Hunter's Torn Quad

- John Cena beat Umaga via DQ after Big Show interfered. Fun match which the crowd were totally into, with 50/50 split on who was behind Cena and who was booing him. After the match, Umaga and Big Show both laid Cena out.

- A highlight video of WWE’s most recent trip to Iraq played for the live crowd, before Todd Grisham interviewed Lita backstage. - Still backstage, Chris Masters tried, and failed, to claim the bounty on DX, ending up hugging a toilet instead.

- After quickly changing the ring, RAW started with DX coming to the ring to an incredible reaction. They cut a promo and footage aired from last week’s show. The Coach interrupted and said he had issued a bounty on DX for £10,000, to which Triple H called him a cheap bastard. - A four on two handicap match was made, with DX taking on Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, Charlie Haas and Viscera. DX won in a fairly long match rather than the squash you might expect, with Triple H giving Charlie Haas the pedigree and picking up the win. - Backstage, The Spirit Squad did a promo with DX that saw all members of the Squad in the background doing the Shawn Stasiak thing by running into a wall while DX were oblivious to what was going on. - Johnny and Kenny from the Spirit Squad beat The Highlanders after Kenny rolled up Robbie for the win. - Chris Masters beat Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler in a Masterlock challenge. - Backstage, Eugene tried to get the bounty on DX, but he ended up running into a wall also.

- In the main event of the ECW taping, Bobby Lashley vs Hardcore Holly ended in a no contest after Big Show, Test, Paul Heyman and Heyman’s security interfered, only to be chased off by Sabu, Rob Van Dam and CM Punk. RAW tapings will start shortly.

- Tommy Dreamer beat Daivari via DQ in a short match after The Great Khali interfered and gave Dreamer the low blow into the ringpost. After the match, Khali continued to attack Dreamer.

- Matt Striker cut a promo talking history and hyping up the Elimination Chamber match, which led to a video package to further hype up the match. Our history teacher also incorrectly pronounced Gorbachev. - Backstage, CM Punk cut a great promo putting over the importance of the Elimination Chamber match.

- Backstage, Holly, Big Show and Heyman argue over who to blame for what just happened, with Big Show putting the blame on Heyman. Heyman announces Lashley vs Hardcore Holly for later tonight. - CM Punk beat Mike Knox with the Anaconda Vice in a match that went a little longer than Punk’s previous outings.

No, and it's unlikely he was going to leave in the first place.

I enjoyed the Blood Generation vs. Do Fixer six-man a lot. I thought it was tremendous stuff. Sure, from a selling and more traditional standpoint it didn't have the meat that some people want, but it wasn't meant to. It was meant to be a fast-paced, spot-spot-spot style that drove the crowd crazy. And it succeeded in doing that to such a degree that the fans were chanting "please don't stop" as the match was heading to the finish. If the goal of a match is to get over with the crowd, have them popping big for what happens in the ring and popping big for the finish, then the match worked. It did its job. If you like that style, then you're going to love the match more than someone who doesn't like that style. I showed the match to a non-fan friend of mine, who doesn't like wrestling and really can't get into it. They not only loved it and were going crazy for it but wanted to see more of the same.

Silly angles, bad booking and devaluing a title may be fun to watch if presented in an entertaining manner, but it's still silly angles, bad booking and devaluing a title. But you got to win an argument on the internet, so go you.

Yes, but they obviously changed their mind, probably because they need all the help they can get in speading the word about TNA.

The Kurt Angle appearance on WOL now as its own thread.

Despite his inflated ego, Kurt has been a great guest.

What was funny was they were playing the music to signal a commercial break for about five minutes before Dave wrapped the segment up. Kurt sounds like he's been up for weeks. Which might be true.

As it's about TNA, or suposed to be, it's best to talk about it in the Comments That... thread in the TNA forum. I'm listening to it and posting ongoing updates on what Kurt says.

Two things make that picture even funnier. When TNA pulled their talent from ROH, they claimed it was because of Feinstein and that they couldn't risk being associated with a company that Feinstein could return to. And when that photo got out, Jarrett claimed to have no idea it was Feinstein.

The headache involved in working out a finish to that match would make me not want to do it.

Unless something drastic happens, it isn't taking place.

A problem with doing Hogan vs. Show is that people are going to want to see Hogan slam Show, and even with Show helping out I don't see Hogan in condition to do it. If he tried to slam Show, all his artificial body parts will break off. Ashley has already posed for Playboy, so it's not like they can even get the buzz of it being the first chance to see her naked.

He owned WCW and still felt the need to bury it six-feet under when he could have made tons of money with a properly run Invasion angle. A lot of what Vince does makes no sense.

Raw is his favorite son and Smackdown is the bastard child.
