Thanks for the Fish

Petey and TNA couldn't come to terms on a new contract.

Showtime Eric Young might have been cut as well.

WWe's out in Cali - ECW aired live and SD! is taped after tonight.

It wouldn't be a long term gig, so my plan would be to bring in an old school ECWer for a quick run.

On second thought TJ Wilson was known as "The Stampede Kid" as well, so maybe his name comes from there. I guess this means Tomko has been released, or TJ might get a name change by next week. Matt Sydal became Evan Bourne from one week to the next and Atlas Ortiz became Rickie Ortiz.

Tyson Kidd looked very good to boot. you can tell the guys who have it versus the ones that don't. When Sydal was jobbing to Benjamin he still looked like he belonged. TJ Wilson/Tyson Kidd looked like he belonged. Striker really put him over as well - JBL used to do that well when he was SD! commentator. "Big Dog" should be Jamie Noble's permanent nickname as well. I wonder if Tommy Dreamer will get a tag team partner to team with to fight Miz/Morrison.

One thing I noticed about Swagger is that he needs to let his opponent kick out of his pin attempts, he seems to get off them before they even kick out. Best ECW in ages.

On second thought, the "Kidd" could be homage to the Dynamite Kid...

Not feeling the name really, but it's not brutally bad or anything. Striker really put him over as the last graduate of the Dungeon. What are they going to say about Harry Smith? Or will it not matter since Smith has the pedigree, or should I say "Legacy". Tyson Kidd vs Evan Bourne Tyson Kidd vs Jamie Noble Tyson Kidd vs Finlay Jamie Noble vs Evan Bourne Natalya vs Katie Lea in the future! Christian feud with Miz/Morrison Christian vs Finlay So many possibilities.

HOLEE SHIT!!!! TJ Wilson and Nattie Neidhart!! Facing Jamie Noble!!!

It's basically a stone cold stunner. The Reality Check was too busy. I like his corner clothesline through the ropes as a finisher.

Christian has the chance to run with the ball in ECW. I don't hate the decision. If he pops the ratings, it will go a helluva long way in legitimizing him in the eyes of the wwe braintrust. If he was paired with Edge, Edge would get the credit for the heat/pops.

WWE braintrust is pretty damn cruel - Having a guy with a pronounced lisp named Swagger and competing in ECW Swagger vs Christian tonight?!? At least Teddy Long should have said I let Hardy walk to use the money to sign Christian.

No because SD is only taping one show because of the PPV this weekend.

Christian on ECW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt Petey asked for his release unless he has work in ROH lined up or something (money is money afterall, and the economy is in the shitter). I doubt the wwe will come calling, I guess he could pay his own way into FCW if he was so inclined. I wonder who else gets the axe.

I agree(though not with the Hogan part). They would have just dropped the angle if Rourke was completely out.

Subliminal messaging.

The Sultan was a badass. So was Rikishi the Yokozuna rip-off for that matter. Make a Difference Fatu and Stinky Face Rikishi - not so much.

Chris Hero doesn't have "the look"

In a match which should surprise nobody Cena, Kofi and Mysterio vs Jericho, Knox and Kane had been announced for the show.

Or Lance Cade.

Undertaker vs Orton will end in a DQ when Dibiase and Rhodes interfere. This will cause Stephanie to say if Rhodes or Dibiase interfere in the Shane vs Orton match at No Way Out, they'll be suspended and Orton will lose his title shot at WM25. Enter the fourth member of The Legacy at NWO - Harry Smith.

Sounds like some tweaker trash in tapout gear were expecting him to come over to their group and take pictures and sign autographs and when he blew them off and went to his car to leave one ran and started banging on his car and walked in front so he couldn't drive away.
