I'd be interested to see if TDK has legs. Does it have the chance to break TITANIC's record?

I can agree with this to a point. There are many times when a face chaser wins the title and then the crowd turns on them shortly after they win.

Edge vs. HHH for the WWE Championship HHH wins here. After the match Vickie comes out and announces that she has brought back a friend of Edge, and 'Taker comes out and beats down Edge to continue their fued, this time without the title on the line. (That either happens here, or on SmackDown when Edge is complaining about losing) Batista vs. CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship CM Punk gets the fluke win to continue his reign, but makes him look weak, causing Batista to snap and beat Punk down to cheers from the crowd, even though he is supposed to be the heel. Creative continues to play Batista as the heel, but the fans don't boo him. Tommy Dreamer vs. Mark Henry for the ECW Championship I would love to see Dreamer win, but that won't happen. Henry will retain with help from Atlas. Finlay & Hornswoggle vs. Jesse & Festus vs. Hawkins & Ryder vs. Miz & Morrison for the WWE Tag Team Championships This is really the one match that is truly hard to figure out. Usually in these matches, the Champs lose, but M&M are entertaining as Champs. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Finley and Hornswoggle will bring home the win. John Cena vs. JBL in a NYC Parking Lot Brawl JBL wins, with help from DiBiasi and Rhodes, to continue their feud until Summerslam when it will (finally?) end with a cage match. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho Michaels wins, but after the match Jericho and Cade beat down Michaels until London comes out and tries to save his mentor, but it will not work. Michaels gets the upper hand and runs the heels off. Shelton Benjamin vs. Matt Hardy for the US Championship Shelton wins here. Michelle McCool vs. Natalya for the Divas Championships Natalya (I hate that they call her that) gets the win with help from Victoria.

ESPN has been using the Hardy's music for their videos for a few years now.

Lance Storm comments on Braden "Chris Harris" Walker (taken from gerweck.net):

Actually, that might work.

The AMC theater in Manhattan is sold out for every show until Tuesday from what I was reading in the paper today.

In regards to the "too many women" argument, I think it would hold more water if they weren't constantly some of the highest rated segments on the show. Doesn't happen every week, but most of the time they are the highest, and if not highest, then 90% of the time they gain viewers. I don't disagree that some need to go, but if Jackie should stick around due her being with Beer Money, then Christy should stay as she is a good part of R&R as the annoying manager/valet, plus she can get beat up, and you can use a jobber Knockout. Khan, you have a point with as she's done nothing. Salinas the same thing. She's been useless thus far, and with Hector, I don't see her use now, unless LAX grows to a huge group.

I agree, Invader, about the feud with 3D/Angle and Styles/Christian/Rhino. It's not a great feud, and Sting being added doesn't do anything for me. It's too bad you didn't get to see the best of the Knockout Division, as Gauntlets/Battle Royales really are the best to show off skills. It's usually a cluster-fuck. Darknight, it seems like you are just coming in here to bash TNA, as this wasn't as bad a show as you are making it out to be. Was it the best show? No, but it was far from the worst. It did it's job to advance storylines. It even got people interested in a "new"/different wrestler in Creed. Invader I agre, he can be something special. Right now, the main event scene isn't that bad as Joe/Booker has some interest to it. The tag team scene is better than WWE with LAX, Beer Money, Inc., the Machineguns, Rock and Rave mixing it up. The X-divsion is interesting, as I am looking forward to seeing where this Kaz story is going, and for the first week ever, Dutt vs Lethal was interesting as well. I know it's not going to draw huge numbers, and some people find them as minor leagues, but I, for one, am interested to see where many of the stories go from here.

The only thing I didn't like was that now Val can go in the back and watch the replay and see that Dutt was lying, but then again this is wrestling and logic goes out the window.

And once again, at least they explained a wrestler's name change.

I know they wanted to push Morgan, but I'm wondering if he's getter the push that was going to be Tomko's before he decided to make money and wrestle in Japan against TNA's orders?

When the hell is Chris Meloni going to get a nod for his work? He was great as Keller on OZ, and he's been great on L&O:SVU for years.

Here is the trailer for RED based on the Jack Ketchum novel. It looks like it might be just as good, if not better than THE GIRL NEXT DOOR and THE LOST (two of the better direct to DVD films this year).

I'm not dismissing it, I just don't think it's very good, and I like their previous work a lot. Hype behind an album has a lot to do with what people think of them all the time, but I'm not basing my opinion of the album solely on the hype. I just don't feel it's very good, it's not the worst thing I have ever heard, but it's far from the best. I downloaded the "leaked" version from a couple of years ago, and this has a few better songs then that one, but overall it's just not worth the wait. I think if it ever comes out though, it's going to make huge bank based on the wait. People have been waiting for it and want it already, good or bad.

What the fuck. The choices there were stupid. Who cares about Ranjin Singh. The 2pac thing is tasteless. They have to shove Vince McMahon in for fun, and Captain america is just random. I say its either Taker or Bearer, but I'm not sure who. No, not really. Maybe when it happened, but it's been like a decade (I know I'm probably off with the date, but you get my point). This is the same company that continue to does "______ has died" angles, the Katie Vick story, and most recently Edge and Vickie getting married. They don't care about being tasteless, but 2Pac being in the poll is not tasteless.

There might be backstage segments that aren't mentioned that further those storylines. Or, as TNA has done in the past, have nothing on one show and then the next set of spoilers for the following week will have a match.

Or how fucked up someone can get if he misses it.

Jamie > Santino for comedy wrestler.

Wow, when was the last time he did the upright Walls of Jericho? It's so much better then the Boston Crab.

Why is he on my TV?

What a great reaction for the Tag Team Champs.

Enjoy yourself. Have you been to a live TNA show yet? I went when they came to Manhattan, and they put on a great show (I'm getting tickets once they go on sale for the Sept. 5 show). They seem to try harder when they are away from Orlando, hint hint TNA executives!

I don't remember Chris Harris being that bad in TNA. I don't now if it had anything to do with his opponent, but that match was not pleasant to watch at all.
