^ I heard WCW had to refund PPV viewers for the mishap of DDP/Goldberg because of the incident.

Wrestling Observer: I wonder how much.

Really, lol. I bet he works for TNA and wants wrestling to return to the days of Andre and Ultimate Warrior.

More Backstage happenings-- Hulk Hogan was said to be very stressed backstage at iMPACT on Monday, and feels the company has organizational issues. TNA was still filming pre-tapes late in the day, and it was said to be a very chaotic atmosphere for Hulk compared to the treatment he was used to in WCW and WWE. Hogan held a meeting with the TNA roster prior to the show, which was described as a basic pep talk meeting. Hulk told the wrestlers that he’s looking forward to getting to know them all. He told them his door is always open, and gave the impression that he and Bischoff are running the show, although Vince Russo is still handling his usual backstage duties. Some backstage sources say Russo came across as withdrawn, and after the show was telling people he had no idea what the storyline direction will be going forward.

Some more spoilers...highlight. A source described last night's Impact tapings in Orlando, FL as "disorganized." - An Observer said there were "boring" chants. Segments had to be re-taped, and fans chanted "we want wresting." - The attendance was said to be less than capacity. - TNA was handling out Twizzlers at the show - Scott Hall is apparently under the impression he won't be around after the Genesis PPV. - Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff arrived to the show together. Bischoff's business partner Jason Hervey was also backstage. - Prior to the taping, Hogan spent much time in is office. (Yes, he does have his own office). Bischoff and Vince Russo were seen running around engaging talent backstage and putting plans into motion. - Team 3-D arrived at Universal Studios around 5:30PM following a flight back to the States after working the 1/4 Tokyo Dome show. - Orlando Jordan was backstage last night. - The young girls seen in the Jeff Hardy-Shannon Moore outdoor segment Monday night are apparently related to Tomko. They girls were also at last night's taping.

That's because i have nothing negative to say about the WWE. Status Quo Yo. /nod

It's easier to watch without your smark lenses on.

It started a few weeks ago. And during that time, he won the breakthrough battle royal...he put John Cena through the table. He put Mark Cuban through the table. And he beat Chena at TLC. Like Sheamus had said for the last three weeks, "I'm going to beat Cena because i can. I'm going to win the championship because i can." He accomplished that in a short time on Raw....because he can.

Wait, you said you only watch the first 10 minutes of Raw because it is repetitive and awful. Now you know the kind of reaction he gets?!??!?!?!?? I don't watch TNA, but i don't say AJ Styles gets little heat. Plus i have watch the last month, he got reaction. I guess you need to clean ears to find out. But we can all talk like we know more than the WWE. This is the same company that has been around for 25+ years. The same company that took Hulk Hogan and made him into a wrestling legend. The same company that took The Rock and made him a mainstream superstar. The same company that took Brock and made him into a MMA superstar (well not really but he got his name known where?). Where did their stardom start? WWE. We act like "yeah, they did this then, look at now." But the same guy running the show is the same guy who ran it before. They are soo boring yet they make money. WCW didn't make money..the merger of AOL-Time Warner and their canceling of WCW proved that. But what do y'all know...it's easy to stand here and say this and that...but history shown...it begins where? You wouldn't be talking about Ken Anderson if it wasn't for the WWE recognizing his ability. This is amazing. A guy wins the belt and the same rhetoric comes back.

Anyone can be made to draw? So you telling me that Jamie Noble was pushed the way they pushed Cena (03-05), he'll draw fans? How the hell did Cena draw if he isn't actually good? I'm totally confused. Guess what i find online about the WWE. **** comScore Media Metrix April 2009 – June 2009 United States Demographics * 61% are male * 15% are ages 12-17 * 67% are ages 18-49 * 41% are males 18-34 * 33% are non-white * 29% have a HHI of 75K or higher * 15% have a HHI of 100K or higher Why aren't any wrestling promotions taking advantage of the fans leaving the WWE.

Will Hogan pay us to watch TNA or give us discounts to view pay per views?

People will find something boring especially when it is coming from a company that they are already disinterested to begin with.

The era of Sheamus begins. If they could make Umaga relevant as the Samoan Bulldozer, they won't have any problem with the Celtic Warrior. If you follow the WWE through the eyes of the smarks, there are no doubts you'll hate the product just as much as they do. Imagine if the IWC was around during the time UnderTaker debuted, i bet they would say the same things about him that they say about any big guy today. Sheamus -vs- Cena won't be the final match at TLC....i bet DX -vs- JeriShow TLC for the Unified tag titles will be headlining. Then there is Taker -vs- Batista. IWC trying to say "Sheamus-vs-Cena, who's going to buy that...geeSus.?

He won a battle royal. He's a heel. Cena-vs-Sheamus isn't the main event of the card. He's new. And no matter what, smarks will find something negative about scenario. Despite that, he got a decent reaction from the crowd. But smarks don't understand that.

Sheamus next week needs to go to Cena father's house and send the WWE champ a message...Sheamus ->"I just Chuck Norris your father, Cena...at TLC, i'm going to Chuck Norris you."

I hope Vern Troyer doesn't give Hornswoggle a title shot.
