I'm not really liking the pussyfied Jericho right now.

I remember when Savage was the WWF champ, defending it against Skinner on tv and that guy hadn't won a match in who knows how long. That was in a time when they used jobbers as fodder and stats for the champion. The same thing was done with HHH and Funaki (or was it Taka?). I'm also meaning more-so on the contenders part, not the Champions part. As a fighting champ, you go up against anyone, but as a contender, you earn your shot (or at least that's the way it used to be). Losing on a PPV shouldn't mean you get a title shot, IC or World.

So Bradshaw loses a match and he fights for a title (and possibly wins it), while Cena wins the match and he fights to become a #1 contender. Yeah, that's how it's done. I know one is the secondary title, but still. Back in the day if you lost you had to be built back up.

Wasn't it supposed to be DiBiasi Jr. going against the tag champs tonight?

So, Jericho loses tonight to set up his move to SmackDown! Also, I'm seeing some sort of DQ finish in the main event to set up a Three-Way at the PPV.

I love the Chaos Theory. The teams are pretty good, but I don't like Kaz in there. In my opinion, he should be feuding with Petey right now, and they should have someone like Creed in there instead.

I didn't even know they had a new album coming out until last week when a buddy of mine told me about it. It's a damn good album though. I've liked them since I first heard them. They were one of the better "nu-metal" bands from the early 2000's.

Holy shit, I wasn't expecting that one. I don't see how a chubby redneck like Mickie fits in with the After Midnight Express, maybe she's their paid servant and they mistreat her and stuff? Bizarrely, the last time I saw Roxxi was when I refereed a match with her and Mickie. WANT MICKIE KNUCKLES VS. AWESOME KONG. WANT NOW. (And please keep Daffney around and bring back Daizee Haze and let Cheerleader Melissa ditch the burkha and maybe consider hiring MsChif... god, how can I be so excited for a fucking TNA division?!) I love me some Mickie Knuckles. Hoyl crap, I didn't expect that. I remember reading a while back that SHIMMER and TNA had come to an agreement about using talent. That can only be a good thing!

I'm waiting until the more indepth spoilers come out, but I'm sure it really isn't a KOTM match. Actually, I wouldn't be upset if they one year had the X-Division title up for grabs in a KOTM match.

It's not bush league if they actually do it. However, they had their chance in 1997, and they failed on every level. Until someone actually gets a million, I have no reason to see this as a good move, a move to get ratings, or anything else. And wrestling is a work, so people are expecting a swerve to get someone heat. I don't know why pepole think they're giving away $1M a week. It's $1M in sum. From gerweck.net Plus McMahon said it's going to be a sum of $1 million per week. Doesn't mean it will be to one person a week, but it's the sum per week.

The one question I have for the people that said they liked the idea of Vince giving away $1,000,000 a week, if TNA did the same thing would you like it as well? Or would you bash it as bush league? I'm not asking that simply because I like TNA, but because many of the things TNA does gets bashed (rightfully so with some of the things they do), but WWE pulls stunts and it's excepted as being a good thing?! Either way, no matter who is doing it, I don't like it. It generates interest for a short time, but after a few weeks, if the show is not good, giving away money will not pull in viewers.

You have to hand it to TNA with The Beautiful People. When you normally see a team of women that look good, they are the faces and someone like Roxxi would be the heel. TNA has gotten the Beautiful People over as heels.

Vince has now sunk to trying to buy viewers. This can't end well.

0k, that was anti-climatic.

That's what I thought he was going to do, as he was looking into the ring at about 7 or 8.

-Double post-

Just saw a "Macho Man - Hall of Fame 2009" poster. I'm surprised they let that one in. I really hate Michaels' overselling.

That commercial with Show welcoming Mary McCormack to the USA Network was very funny. I got a kick out of it.

I can't wait until Burchill does the Curb Stomp to a black wrestler. The outrage is going to be huge. I'm loving his new gimmick (I haven't watched RAW for the past 2 years),and Katie Lea (I think that's her name) is HOT!

Not really important, but just something I was thinking about as they just came back form commercial. Do the commentators continue talking during the break so they don't miss a beat as they come back to the action, or are they told right before the commercial break ends that they are coming back?

Am I the only one that thinks that Piper is going to turn on Cousin Sal to be the manager of Santino and Carlito?

They should have Million Dollar Man be the mouthpiece of the group. So, any ideas who they will get to be his partner?

So, they are laying the groundwork for the young-guns stable.

From gerweck.net:

Either that, or the Draft or the new "GM."
