Mike wanna be

QFE. When West isn't rambling or trying to shill something, he's very entertaining; comes across as a guy who loves his job and is just having a lot of fun. Tenay just rambles on and on, calls every single move (going so far as to call moves that happened 10+ seconds ago if DW happened to be talking and he chose not to interrupt) and is about as entertaining as reading the dictionary. Announce teams are supposed to gel together and tell a story to improve the quality of every on-air segment the show has. Tenay's too busy hollering about "AJ Styles walking to the ring, left foot first, NOW THE RIGHT, Oooooooooooh the left one comes back and here comes the right!"

Finally, heels go over on TV. Good to see.

I can't believe I just discovered the dragging UCMs (especially the crotch-to-ring-post one). I do them every match now, just to be a dick.

As soon as he's gone, he's got a job in TNA for (I'm assuming) similar money with less work dates. Considering he's been screwed since July, I can't say I blame him for dogging it. Hey, I'd rather have him dog it by no-showing a photo shoot and napping backstage as opposed to just being a lazy fuck in the ring and risking somebody else's career. As far as: I don't think it's so much a "We're never pushing Shelton" as it is "Compare the push Lashley has now to the push MVP is getting, to the complete LACK of push Shelton Benjamin is getting. All things considered, RAW is the only show that doesn't have a black guy getting a push, so Monty's probably going to go there."

Cena's salute is always three fingers, pinky down. It's just how he does it; I don't think he's doing it to stick it to the fans...

I just signed up at mygamercard.net (click on it and it'll send you there). Once you're there, set one up and it should give you the code for it.

Shit, they screwed up the Rumble dynamic as well. You come in the ring, you get 5 guys going to toss you, and if you've got 2 guys on you, shit, may as well re-start. I don't need a two-hour rumble, but for a 30-man Rumble to be done in 15 minutes is just ridiculous. The bar speed doesn't take into account your damage, so a guy that just came in and was Irish whipped over is as easy to dump as the #1 entry that's all orange (any red part = instant elimination if you go over the ropes).

They didn't really do anything other than enter the match, hit a move, get a pinfall, get hit by a move and get eliminated. Not very good booking, considering that's 1/3 of the main event for NEXT WEEK'S PPV getting eliminated within 45 seconds of one another.

People only give a shit when big-over face cheats to win super-evil heel. Nobody gave much of a shit about Booker, so nobody really cared that he cheated. Sad, really.

Air Batista? Wow.

Maybe spoilers for Road to WrestleMania plans:

And the PPV saving stipulation is....TNA title rules, DQ or CO costs Booker the title. Great.

I like how they've altered the promo for the Chamber so it's not apparent that it's Bischoff ranting about "2 miles of chain, designed to PUNISH...the human body." EDIT: They expect $35 for this PPV that's not going to go 3 hours...and they'll probably want something similar for D2D next week, and then $35 again in three weeks for Armageddon.....2-3 weeks later $35 more for NYR...2 weeks after that is the Rumble...3-4 weeks after that is No Way Out. Holy shit, that's an assload of PPVs.

Still, 20 minutes for a Batista match is really pushing it.

Show/Finlay v. Cena/Lashley the final four, after numerous rapid-fire eliminations. I don't know what the fuck they've got planned, but there's an hour left and not a lot of wrestling to go, unless I'm forgetting about 2-3 matches...

Speaking of Piper, he and DiBiase are the "Modern Era" inductees to the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame this year. http://www.pwhf.org/2007inductees/pressrelease.asp

Yeah, 3v3 elimination tag. And 6 is the max in the Rumble at any one time.

And Sabu should turn things around...why? ECW's going down the shitter and I'm assuming he's one of the highest-paid Extremists they have.

I heard that some motions can have it, and some can't...so it's apparently possible to have the belt at certain stages of your entrance but not others (have it as you walk down the ramp, but not in the ring or at the entrance, for example)

Yeah. My CAW had Hassan's entrance and he wore the belt all the way through from ramp to ring.

You mean like, in an entrance?

Gee, I wonder if it's going to turn out to be Vince's fault the AWA went out of business

I know Nitro and Hardy are booked in a match at SurSer, but how they can give away a ladder match six days before the biggest remaining PPV is just non-sensical to me.

I was on the fence. Regretably Dish made my decision for me.
