I dont think he'd bluff... I think he would just not say anything, if he was going to be on the show. This seems to be a little pre crowd control, letting people know he's not going to be there so that he doesnt feel the heat. Sucks... I know...

What are some non wrestler related stuff you guys have heard? We know the logos changed, I heard they may be going back to the "squared circle", and a time slot change (length, day, etc) I think they HAVE to get out of the iMPACT zone... I dont care if it looks like ECW shows used to, ie small venues. What other changes would you guys make?

JEFFHARDYBRAND Hell yeah Gonna roll with my boy @TheShannonBrand to FLA to put in a good word & check out tha show. Jeff Hardy's twitter.... things that make you go hmmm..... Maybe Jeff is going to be on the show, and Shannon Moore is riding with him... Or maybe the other way around.... or Maybe... they just like to drive long distances to watch wrestling?

Yeah, the roster is getting crowded... Need another show, more time, or something.

Who are all the rumored people, everyone has heard? I've heard Hall, Syxx, Angelina, Anderson, RVD, Flair, Jeff Hardy, anyone else?

Gerweck.net is reporting Angelina is coming back. Can she mean girl, bully herself back into the beautiful people... Send Von Erich packing... http://www.gerweck.net/news/1262490060.shtml

I got a question... This Jan 4th iMPACT is a one off special right? Because they keep talking about the start of the monday night wars....

No mention, that's what I meant by there could be more details. It mainly focuses on the early on history of the title. It doesn't break down title change by title change. I THINK there may have been a glimpse of it in part of a highlight package.

Got it. I haven't watched anything but the documentry part but it's good. It could have been better. But then it would have been 3 hours long. Which would be fine with me. Just so much history of that title that could be covered.

They picked a good place to announce this though... Smart. Maybe they can get Hulkster on monday night football or something, on the sidelines? Get the word out there... then they gotta get Sting, Kurt Angle, and maybe a Ric Flair on the show... Have the old guys bring in some viewers, let them put over the youngsters.

Any idea what name Mick said when Steiner asked him who the smartest person he knows was? The name they bleeped twice.

Who does Bret Hart mark for? - From Peter Marin: This is an interview Bret Hart did and it mentions his thoughts of WWE's Melina would be REALLY appreciated if you posted this. When asked about Melina Bret said the following ''I think Melina is... creative and imaginative, an innovator and she comes up with some great matches I love watching her wrestle... in a lot of ways I think she's the best wrestler in the world." Here's the Interview link: http://www.ministryofslam.com/BretHart.mp3 He says it a little over halfway through the interview.

Bigger Jilikers to this John Cena promo... I got goose bumps.... and I'm not really even a fan of his... but he's forcing me to turn to the darkside...

* Cena v. HBK v. HHH * Undertaker v. Big Show v. Y2J * Batista v. Mysterio * Team Orton v. Team Kofi * Team Miz v. Team Morrison * Team McCool v. Team James lol, yeah... They wanted Rey destroyed...

No one watching Survivor Series?

Didnt really want to start a whole thread for this... But here are some results from the Hulkamania Tour (not mine, stolen from a site): The night started with my mate and I making our way into Rod Laver Arena. It was raining bucket loads and we just wanted to get inside the damn place! I went to the box office and the lady gave us 150 dollar seats (considering we paid 120 for the pair it was a great saving). The show had a very WCW feel to it, just second rate, nostalgic and well...everything Hulk Hogan. The ring ropes were yellow and red, the graphics on the titantron were yellow and red (flames) and the merchandise stand was all Hogan merchandise. Now I know Hogan is the biggest draw in wrestling, but it felt as if the show was way too much about him. His opponent is a very massive star too, but the poster to the show had a giant picture of Hogan, with Ric's name written somewhere down the bottom. I would have enjoyed seeing HOGAN VS. FLAIR (or something to that effect). The crowd was at about 6,500 - 7,500. It was half full, the floor was full, the platinum seats (think WWE tour) were about 80% full, and the gold seats (think WWE tour) were about 40% full. An entire section of the gold seats (which held around 2,500 - 3,500) was curtained off. Also behind the titantron, the 'bronze' seats at WWE tours, it looked as if it never existed. Overall the attendance relieved me, I didn't want the show to fail, I wanted people to turn up and in all honestly they did. The first match featured 'Rock Of Love' Vs. Eugene and the PIMPfather (with a few of his hoes). It lasted about 3-4 minutes, very boring, crap, forgettable match. The highlight was when one of the members of Rock Of Love took his shirt off after the entrance and the crowd chanted 'put your shirt on!!' Pimpfather and Eugene won 1.5/10 Then the second match featured Shannon Moore against Spartan 3000. It was a pretty slow paced cruiserweight match up (if thats what it was meant to be). Spartan won after a pretty sweet shooting star press. 4/10 (for the finish) The third match was the biggest embarrassment to wrestling. Dear lord this was shocking. The Nasty Pensioners W/Jimmy Hart Vs. Gangrel and some Samoan Undertaker dude called Black Pearl. This match was just so terrible, it gets me thinking how easy it is to manipulate a wrestling crowd. Knobs was an absolute dud out there, hitting someone with a baking tray AND STILL lost his breath, the guy started chanted and most people chanted with him. Anyway it was so bad, the 'shots' were very poorly done, the timing was amateurish and the actual entertainment value was pitiful, it was like a fake pub fight between the town drunk and the town fatty with the winner being NOBODY. 0/10 (Nasty Boys won) Brutus Beefcake Vs. Heidenriech (however its spelt) was the next match, BAD, full stop, get rid of Hogan's posse. Beefcake won, but ultimately we were all the losers after seeing those horrendous tights he was wearing, blehh!! 1/10 (Nostalgic factor, since I like Beefcake) ...Beefcake won also! I'm sure there was an intermission next, they came back with a Divas bikini contest, Lacey won I think?? (I didn't know the girls, but they were hot). I really liked the titantron being used for the match ups, you could see the wrestling on the screen and it helped heaps, the backstage interviews were FANTASTIC too, it really got the crowd involved and it wouldn't hurt the WWE to pretape a few promos like that in America and just play them here for us and pretend its live. It was great. By this point the ring announcer asked if we are excited for the main event!! Because Hulk Hogan is lacing up those boots as we speak! We get a backstage interview with Flair and what can I say? The ENTIRE crowd was standing, looking at the titantron, this man has presence and brought prestige into this event. My mate said it best, without Hogan and Flair this show would have been at Pipeworks. Mr. Anderson Vs. Sean Morley was the next match, it was okay, it was way too slow, felt a little second rate, I've seen the guys do better. But it was first CLASS compared to the rest of the crap we saw. Kennedy won with a botched Mic Check! 5/10 Next up was Rikishi & Grandmaster Sexay (nice Thriller dance on the way to the ring too!) Vs. Umaga & Orlando Jordan. I'll tell you right now, Jordan will be a WWE employee in the next 12 months. He is much better then how he was back in 2004. He seems to be building a persona, its good. The match was alright, Too Cool won and started dancing with the referee (who tried the worm). It was an okay match, after the intermission things got better, that's for sure. 5.5/10 The ring announcer (who I thought was great) was pumping us up for the main event! He told us Hogan is lacing those boots back there and will be out any minute. So by the looks of it, Hogan was lacing up his shoes for 45 minutes? LOL! Hogan was interviewed backstage and was awesome Hogan! The entrances occurred, they also showed a promo on the screen from the press conference. It was great, the entrances of both those superstars was worth the ticket. The match was okay, lots of blood, no legdrop, it was better than what all the kids could do too. Hogan is an amazing crowd manipulator, everyone was sleeping and he got them off their feet. We just loved being their for Hogan! Hogan won after a shot with the brass knuckles, he looks very rusty at the start, understandable though. I'll give that match a 10/10. It was everything I expected and more to be honest. Overall the show gets a 6/10 from me. Before the intermission, I believe I saw the worst form of entertainment in the history of my life. After the intermission we got some solid acts, Kennedy, Umaga, Venis, Hogan, Flair...they saved the show and really helped it not rot into the ground.

oh you know he will.... Hornswoggle vs the new champ, and recently heel turned at Survivor Series... Shawn Michaels

Vern Troyer is going to host also... Should be intresting to see the interaction with him, big show and hornswoggle.

Where ya hear that?

could we get the WWE and TNA threads stickied? So that if they do happen to fall off the first page, then people wont make new threads...
