I'll give them credit if they write RVD out in this manner instead. Puts over Orton but doesn't act childish in burying RVD in the process. Allows a logical explanation for RVD to be off screen and if they can get back into talks, they have something to work with when he returns. However, I expect RVD to stumble out tomorrow and Snitsky mauls him for good measure.

Where's Sonya? What's funny about this is that Orton's the best concussion sell in the company and he's the guy whose gimmick is based around giving concussions.

?? same old boring promo he always does "i will overcome the odds blah blah blah" heard it a hundred times and he sounds as corny as he always does. Not close. That was a traditional go home money promo. Very effective. Yes, it wasn't Jimmy Jacobs greatness but it did the job as it was designed to do. Orton's promo was the very example of a generic promo.

So, are they going to go with the "fraud" route with Marella? Might as well.

That was a solid go home money promo there from Cena.

I want my cookie. I called that stip three weeks ago with these two.

The 2002 Memorial Day Bikini Beach Blast Battle Royal was so much better.

I keep waiting for someone to slip and break their ankle.

That was a horribly ugly situation right there with Freel and Hopper. It's not that Freel just landed on his neck but also the angle in which it happened.

The key difference is that for the past year and beyond, the NWA title wasn't presented as that but rather TNA's world title. Putting the title on someone like Danielson gives you the ability to present the title across the globe in the tradition of the NWA.

It's neither length nor amount. It's the quality of the reign. Many people have held a title for very long periods but due to the quality of the reign, it wasn't meaningful. On the flip side, a 2 month reign can be much more impressive. The # of reigns is also impressive in that it shows you can consistantly perform at that level and get the job done.

Keep this in mind next week when Edge wins via missed spear through the door.

I don't see how anyone can make the assumption that Shane would be a better choice as the creative leader. Of all the McMahons, Shane is booked to be the strongest and usually dominates his feuds over the talent and takes the spotlight with his bumping and stunts. Clearly, he's best served to follow his mother's footsteps and run the business and stay away from the on-screen stuff.

If Jericho ever had a real shot of a career in hollywood, he needed to cut his hair. Obviously, it didn't do enough for him.

The 10th inning of the Pirates-Reds game was a complete train wreck. Tie game turns into a eight run rout. Just horrible.

Not really a bad deal. I think more people would be interested knowing that McMahon was losing and would want to see him get his comeuppance rather then expect the same result as we've already seen previously.

Where were these people when Ruben won?

Yes. He's not a danielson or anyone like that but I do find him entertaining. He's a freak show. He's like that whore at a frat party that's drunk as hell and you watch to see what she will do next. Cena as a worker is better than :Mysterio, Punk, Joe, and most everybody. Worker means more than Workrate. Cena is one of the best people to get a match over with the crowd. Just watch his matches compared to Punk's. Of course this all has to do with booking but WWE is booking him right. Mysterio, Punk, and Joe are three guys. 1) Rey has been hurt for a long time now, 2) I admitted I haven't seen much of Punk, and 3) I didn't mention Joe. The point remains- is Cena honestly #1 in the company? Really? Not one person is better? I'm not talking about a string of 3 PPV matches or Raw main events. I'm talking about ability. I understand what you mean when you say that worker means more than workrate, but then you have to consider the following: Is Cena up against everybody in this debate or just the other main eventers? The way things are booked, Cena's match is always going to be the most important on the card. He's always going to get a lot of time. It's usually going to have heat. It's going to have the machine behind it. So are Batista, Umaga, Lashley, Khali, and the McMahons the only other competition in this debate? If so, yeah, Cena craps on them. Or is it just about how good of a wrestler he is? If this was the '80s and there were MSG shows and Coliseum tapes and 15 minute draws on TV every so often, and the midcard got any sort of time whatsoever, a lot more guys would have the chance to be in the conversation. I mean if things were booked the way they are now when Hogan was on top, would you think Hogan was the best because he'd be the only one that got time and was pushed? Because then Savage, Perfect, Bret, etc. aren't even eligible for the conversation. There are only a few guys more important than Cena right now. They are The Mcmahons, HHH(who's injured) and probably Lashley. Cena is more important than Khali and Umaga. Since Batista is on the C show, Cena is bigger than him. That doesn't mean cena is better but is more important in the wwe's mind. I'm not the biggest Cena fan in the world. I liked him better when he was on Smackdown doing the Thuganomics gimmick. But i'm not going to deny the truth. Besides Vince, Shane and HHH, Cena is number 1 in that company. Just watch Judgment day 07. That crowd was dead for almost anything but when Cena came out, that crowd went crazy. They were hot for the whole match. If that doesn't prove he's a good wrestler, I don't know what does. No. That just means he's over. Although some people still don't want to admit that.

How someone is booked holds very little meaning when analyzing someone's performence. Cena could phone it in as some others in his place have done but he doesn't. He performs his craft exceptionally well and continues to improve as most talent is apt to do. People forget how young Cena still is. He's shown a remarkable improvement over the years.

I can only wonder what happens first, Jerry Narron's firing or Bailey finally getting called up. That's pretty much the biggest source of excitement with Reds baseball right now.

Except, John Cena is having the best year right now. Does that make him the BEST? No but the fact remains, he is having the best year and deserves the credit for that. A great detail in the difference of quality between Cena and Undertaker/HBK in their matches with Khali is that the matches with Taker/HBK became about the bumps and the focus goes to the bumper. That's textbook Michaels stuff. Cena sells Khali authentic. The whiplash bumps, the tightness that he brings. Cena makes others look better. Matt Hardy is having a solid year but he's not close enough to honestly be considered the best worker. Edge can't be strongly considered since he hasn't had as stellar of a year as he did in 2006 at this point.

Just imagine a show with the GHC, ROH and NWA World Titles defended on the same show. It's very much possible if Danielson or even Albright takes the title.

Cena is the best worker on Raw and is easily having the best year thus far in the world with only contenders being Morishima, Joe and Jimmy Jacobs. Cena pulled a tremendous gem out of fuckin' Khali. His brawl with Umaga easily stands of the MOTY in WWE. How could anyone other then biased Cena haters (and there's some still out there amazingly) seriously argue for someone else on Raw or even as a whole in WWE?

It's like an awards show that crams 200 performers, pointless skits and other stuff when people only care who won the important things.
