I'm crazy pumped about Daniel Bryan winning the MitB...I honestly didn't see it coming..I am a Cody Rhodes fan but love Bryan from RoH so I'm really happy he won, he deserves it

I agree with jhd, it works perfect for me and like he said you have to click on the icons but I do that anyway. Great job again Kam

Yeah that sucks BHK, the Boston shows were the only shows I could go to as well so it def sucks but like you said I understand it, It's kind of pointless to go to areas at this point when your trying to branch out to areas that your new TV show is going to be in.

I have to agree with everyone else Kam, the control screen is incredible

I agree with Zeel on SD. I enjoyed the show and have actually enjoyed SD more than Raw lately. Not to say RAW is bad by any means I enjoy R-Truth an awful lot right now. Not sure if he's just another stepping stone for Super Cena to go through until Mania with the Rock but I enjoy Truth's character right now. I just think SD is top notch right now. Sheamus, Christian and Orton are doing great right now. I really like Cody Rhodes a lot and what he's doing minus the paper bag routine. Not a huge fan of Sin Cara but it's early in his career so we'll see. I enjoy SD though and can't wait to see what happens after Capital Punishment and see who shoots up the card and what new feuds go to Summerslam

Lacey left a while back to pursue acting I believe, don't quote me on that but I believe that's why she left

Yes to answer your question Stennick

If Dixie doesn't tweet it I don't believe so..

I have pretty much given up on TNA. I just sold all my TNA DVD's I had on eBay this week. I bought 46 TNA DVD's pretty much all the PPV's from the beginning of TNA regular PPV's to now. I just can't watch it anymore. I have always hated Hogan and Bischoff even when they were in WCW. I just can't take TNA anymore. I usually could take the storylines that semi-made sense because at least the wrestling was really good but now it's a joke so I'm done. PWG and ROH for me now I guess.

HAHA...Stennick I remember seeing that tweet when she first posted it and all I could think to myself was '"oh god" Russo could come up with anything he wants as long as he sells it well and she's good with it. Sucks for TNA

Don't quote me on this but I believe WGTT has prior commitments on the day of final battle. I apologize I have no link but I read it somewhere, I could be wrong but I do believe they have prior commitments. I would love to see a rematch though with KoW or against the American Wolves.

I was debating on getting BFG but at the last minute I changed my mind because I didn't trust H&B and thank god I didn't. The reveal of 'They' was terrible. I caught the revealing on youtube this morning and it was terrible. Jeff Hardy as a heel could be ok but god damn he could be the most popular face of the company if they used him right. I also don't see Jarrett in the group it just seems weird but oh well. I had no confidence it would be any good anyway so I'm not really disappointed in the outcome as it was just as terrible as I thought it would be. I doubt I'll catch any TNA for a while I might catch Impact this thursday just to see how they explain it and I don't trust that H&B will make it any better. I'll pretty much stick to watching ROH every monday now and catch PWG when there DVD's come out. Damn, TNA I wish you didn't hype up something so big for it to be a huge disappointment. I want TNA to strive so WWE has competition but I just don't see it happening anytime soon and that's sucks because wrestling is so much better when companies are going head to head but TNA has blown chance after chance

After thinking about it I agree. I do tend to remember things he did when he managed Team Canada rather than stuff the wrestlers did. He def brought over some good talent even the women he brought over. I also agree with an earlier statement you made concerning finding an alternative to WWE and when you said just watch ROH. I couldn't agree with you more. I tend to watch ROH over both WWE and TNA. I don't DVR any WWE at all and I catch Impact if I'm home but I always DVR ROH on HDNET every monday. I def enjoy it over WWE and TNA.

Damn, thats what I meant to write I couldn't think of who it was. I had just been reading a blog of Dutch's so it was in my head. Your dead right though thanks for correcting me. I miss D'Amore. I liked him as a manager too

I agree with everything you've said BP. I also wanted to add that I feel like TNA during 2005-2006 really started finding there identity. It was when Joe and AJ and Daniels had a really really good feud that led to there 3 way at Unbreakable. I felt like most of the storylines were held together pretty well. I don't know if anyone had said this but I feel the booking was a little better when Dutch Mantell had the books. TNA seemed to be really pushing that the X Division was extremely innovative and it could headline PPV's and it would seperate TNA from WWE. And then TNA started signing people left and right instead of pushing people that were already there or at least pushing the people they just got right. They rushed into Joe vs. Angle way to fast. I also think maybe TNA should have stuck with the 6 sided ring. I didn't think it would be a big deal to be honest with you but now when I turn on TNA I feel like I am watching WWE light and I hate that. I also feel like TNA needs to stop having PPV's every month. I would like to see them either have 6 PPV's a year or maybe have just 4 big ones which would be Lockdown, Bound for Glory, Slammiversary and Destination X. Then they could have specials on Spike TV every once in a while to keep the interest up. That way they could properly build feuds instead of having one off feuds because most fans hate that and they like longer feuds. It's not like TNA is killing PPV buyrates. They seem to be incredibly low so maybe it will help get the buyrates up because they'll be able to build up those feuds. Obviously it won't happen but I think it would be a great thing for TNA if they tried to switch things up. H&B tried but they made it seem just like WCW back in the day. They need to go back to what put them on the map and that's the X division. When I stopped watching wrestling back after the terrible invasion angle I got the itch to watch wrestling again in late 04-early 05 but I wanted something different than what WWE was offering and I caught TNA and the X Division and it was fresh and innovative and I feel like they could go right back to that. Maybe people will agree maybe people won't but I feel like TNA needs to be more innovative and do things different.

I've been watching throughout the Hogan & Bischoff era, and much of that has been in the hopes that things will "get better". And when seem to star to, they slide right back. I have pretty much no expectation that "They" will play out to be anything near to living up to the hype. If it does turn out to be something repetitive, boring, and/or predictable, I think I'm done with TNA for now. <p> </p><p> I've been driven to the conclusion that H&B are pretty much incapable of being innovative, doing new things, or creating new stars. After nine full months, I don't see H&B having created any new stars at all. You could argue that The Pope is higher on the card in TNA than he was in the WWE, but Mr. Anderson isn't. Lethal looked to be getting elevated, but there was no real payoff to the Lethal-Flair stuff and Lethal just went right back to the X Division. The MCMGs winning the tag titles could be seen as an elevation, but I don't seem them being any more integral to TNA than they were in the past. I realize that some fans love the repetition of old storylines and reliance on old stars... I do not. If I want to see stuff from the 90s, I will watch stuff from the 90s. I really truly deeply want to see TNA succeed... but I have absolutely lost faith that Hogan and Bischoff wil manage that. And the only way I know to express that to TNA is to simply stop being a fan in any way, shape, or form.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> I absolutely agree with everything you just said. I am a huge fan but my worst fear was Hogan and Bischoff coming in. I had heard rumblings before it happened and did not want to see it at all. During the H&B era they really haven't built any stars. Before they came on board it looked like Matt Morgan, Hernandez, Beer Money and a few others were on there way to get huge pushes and it seemed to die immediately when H&B came on board. I stopped watching wrestling back in 2001 once WCW went under because I was a huge WCW fan and was a WWF fan too. The Invasion thing killed wrestling for me for a while and I caught TNA in late 2004 and watched them ever since. I enjoyed 2005-2006 so much and I feel it was getting better but it's really went downhill once H&B came in. They've had almost a year and the ratings really haven't went up much.</p><p> </p><p> I feel like H&B are trying to do a lot of old WCW stuff but feel like they are missing one thing from WCW that kind of put them on the map and that was the Cruiserweight division. It was the one thing WWE just couldn't compete with and WCW had a strong hold of cruiserweights US and International. And I think its terrible that TNA seems to forget that the X division was pretty much the thing to put TNA on the map. </p><p> </p><p> The 'They' storyline might be my last straw with TNA. If it ends up being just an old nWo rehash then I'm done with TNA for now and will stick to watching ROH, PWG and several Japanese promotions. I want to keep watching TNA but it's just a joke right now. </p><p> </p><p> I feel like TNA should follow what WCW used to do, people obviously watch for Main Eventers that's just how it is but why should I watch for the main eventers when you can't entertain me the first hour and a half of a show. The cruiserweights would start off the show and keep you entertained and you would continue watching until the Main Eventers and even though most WCW Main Eventers were a joke WCW kept them hooked with the good wrestling to start the show. TNA may not have the best wrestlers for the X division because I feel they need a little more international feel but they have better in-ring performers than WCW had in the Main Event. Maybe it's just me but I feel like TNA should take that page from early WCW and only that page from WCW haha. Hopefully they change but I just don't see it and that sucks.</p>

I really think if they would just get rid of all the old guys except Flair and Foley. Foley can still be entertaining in the Authority role because he has no problem putting over the other stars. Flair is perfect in the manager role. They need to get rid of EV2.0, Hogan, Bischoff, Jarrett, all of those guys.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> TNA def has potential with the young guys. They bring in a lot of established veteran guys but when has any veteran done much for any of those guys. Flair has done a damn good job with Fortune. Foley hasn't really been in a program to put anyone over. Nash did a damn good job when TNA did the whole Paparazzi thing it helped put Shelley, Dutt, Aries and shot Lethal up.</p><p> </p><p> Sting hasn't really helped anyone, Hogan hasn't done anything at all. Jarrett could be used to put someone over but he's stuck in that mess of a storyline with Nash and Sting.</p><p> </p><p> The only new guys that have really done good things are Kennedy, Pope, Flair and Angle has put a thousand people over. He put Lethal over a few years ago and lost clean. He wanted to lose clean to Kong in a program and he wanted to work a program with Red which would def boost his career but TNA nixed it.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Edit: Quick add to the angle thing. I don't know if it still is but Lockdown was the most watched TNA PPV I believe and it had Angle vs. Joe as the Main Event and guess what Angle did...Put Joe over even if it was too late and Joe had kind of lost steam.</p>

Was never a huge fan of Madden in WCW but he's dead right about RVD. If was def a funny read and I have enjoyed the last few columns he has done.

Yeah I just saw a reply of it. That looked terrible. It looked like his kneecap was in the back of his leg and not the front of his leg. He's def done for the year. It looked really really nasty. That sucks for him he played well last year. You know what was also terrible. My favorite team the Raiders playing like trash again. Looks like another long season this year. Oh well.

This is the first one I've ever gotten and it's kind of pissing me off. I've had to restart the stream a bunch of times and have missed a bunch of match time. I probably won't ever get another one after this but I'll still be watching ROH on HDNET

HAHA! Yeah Mark should probably never touch a mic. He just talks but it never really makes sense. Jay is def a better talker. I'm going to get the PPV tonight...Does anybody want me to keep everyone updated or do you guys just want me to write a review once the PPV is done?

Yeah he beat Danielson for the title at the end of 2006 I believe. December 2006 if I'm not mistaken and lost the title a few months later to Takeshi Morishima in Feb 07 Edit: Damn you beat me to it man!

Does anyone think someone other than Roderick will win though? I can't see ROH putting the World Title on someone who just came back like Homicide. If Tyler does lose I would like to see either Roderick win (even though not a huge fan) or either Davey Richards (1st choice) or Daniels facing Black to end the night.

I kind of agree with you smurphy. I just can't see Black leaving tonight with the ROH world title. If he doesn't lose clean to Roderick I def think he'll be facing one more person before the nights over. Anyone getting the iPPV tonight? I am thinking about it but I'm not sure yet. I really want to see the Cabana & Generico vs. Steen & Corino match and the KoW vs. WGTT. I'll probably end up deciding right at 8 PM.

I went to last years ROH show in Boston when Nigel and Danielson were leaving. I'm not that huge of a Danielson fan but love Nigel and plus Bret Hart had an autograph signing so I had to be there because he's my favorite wrestler of all time. The crowd went nuts for both guys when they came out and on there way out. It was a damn good show too. It was the night Eddie Edwards broke him arm in a match with Steen. I'm not a huge Tyler fan I think ROH fans turned on him because ROH waited so long to put the title on him. People wanted him to have the title back when Aries first had it and after a while they got tired of him not winning the title. It was kind of the same situation with Samoa Joe in TNA. They waited way too long to pull the trigger and people were just "eh" about the title run.
