Raw was sensationally dogturd this week.

Watched the first hour and couldn't be bothered with the rest so turned it off ZZ Top guest hosting was terrible. Raw is the same every week, tons of commercials and pointless backstage promos with a few 3 minute matches and a 10 minute main event.

I don't know why I keep watching, more in hope of it being good again I guess. Should probably give it a miss for a while and just stick to SD and ECW.

Apparently the godfather is hosting in a few weeks when it's in Las Vegas. I bet the audience have no idea who he is

Being a million miles away from that dogshit PPV was the best thing Jarrett could have done. That was embarrasing by WCW standards.

It was the worst PPV I've seen from TNA for a long time, lots of talent left off the card and no X Division, also some terrible finishes to matches. Some matches were very short as well. The heels got too many wins on the show too, but hopefully this leads to the faces getting wins in the long run at the big Bound For Glory PPV.

Kurt Angle was effected by a groin injury that he got while filming his latest movie, so was a bit limited as well, and of course Foley is limited.

Now with the X Division they said they didn't want to have a title match so shortly after Homicide winning the title, but they could still have had a match with some X Division wrestlers. Last year at Victory Road there was the finals of the X Cup, including a Four Team Triple Elimination match and an Ultimate X match, and then this year absolutely nothing.

Bad Match Finishes

Tara vs Love - the foot on ropes not seen finish

Matt Morgan vs. Daniels - Daniels needing to sell a knee injury so didn't hit the BME and then got hit by the Carbon Footprint and followed up with the Hellevator

Dr. Stevie vs. Abyss - A tazer

Jenna vs Sharmell - Jenna put her crotch over Sharmell's face and pinned her

Beer Money vs Scott Steiner and Booker T - Ref can't count Beer Money's pin due to beer in his eyes, then Roode gets beat with the axe kick.

Samoa Joe vs. Sting - Joe went for the muscle buster but Sting struggled too much so it was botched, Joe needed to save the finish by locking in the Kokina Clutch

They can do a lot better than that PPV, I've seen them put on better quality at live events.

Thankfully iMPACT! for the next few weeks looks to be good.

I don't know how to weight up TNA; it's rapidly becoming everything they promised it wouldn't be five years ago.
The top guys from 1996 are on top now, Kevin Nash burying anyone and everyone that has the misfortune to have to try to have a match with him (I thought AJ made him look a million dollars, by the way; that boy is class, reminds me of Jericho in so many ways), Big Poppa Botch Steiner is still stinking the place up and now they have Taz and Joe is fueding with Sting!

Duh, hello Mr Russo, Mr Nash; the big nasty old guys are supposed to be the heels not the faces.

I don't want to watch it anymore, as I'm scarred for life from the million nWo groups and the New Blood/Millionare's Club dross and this just brings back painful memories of big egos with big paycheques burying young talent at the detriment of the business.

What's hot and what's not in WWE at the moment? I've not seen anything lately.

Smackdown - Jericho, Ziggler, Punk, the Hart kids, Rey - is hot.

RAW - HHH-Orton-Cena, Legacy, desperate celebrity hosts - is not.

ECW is a bit turd since the trade, though that may be my biased opinion. Like the look of the Japanese kid, though.

Is night of champions even gonna be worth watching? WWE has been a little bit rubbish to say the least as of late. I've been fast forwarding it EVERY week on Sky + it's been that bad.

Anyone gonna watch it? I was hoping it'll be a good ppv for a change.

TNA and Playboy have apparently signed a deal to feature a number of their women in up coming issues. The first will be Traci Brooks. No idea who she is, a bit iffy upon checking google images. Theres some pictures where she looks smoking hot.... others not so much.

Maybe Roofs will get his dream?

Probably won't be worth watching. There doesn't seem to be any striking matches on the card as far as I remember it.

can't work out whether the end of the orton/cena/hhh match was great, or really really bad.





scratch that, it was bad.

Shitt. Looks like yet another triple threat at SummerSlam now. Possibly a gimmick match; HIAC, perhaps?

WWE are to run a HIAC ppv to replace one of the autumn ppv shows (No Mercy, I think). Probably like TNA Lockdown. So I doubt there'll be any HIAC matches until then.
