Looking at it, it's a decent show. The only downside being the carbon copy of RAW with the ending (even down to the tie choke).

Reading the spoilers taped last night it returns to normal next week. Aparently there is a fantastic couple of balls ups, one involving Rob Terry & the other involving Hogan being so slow to move these days he starts to creak to the floor before the lights go out.

Hey if you search 'CM Punk Hogan' on that popular video sharing website there's some good comments by Punk about Hogan (not exactly complimentary! ), then the washed-up get replies about headlining MSG whilst Punk was still in dypers (sp). FFS Hogan, many people in 1985 were fantastic stars at different sports & types of entertaiment but I don't reckon they still would be now.

If he sticks around for a few more years Punk will be able to main event at MSG when Hogan is back in diapers

Lol, comment of the day!

Personally I still think Hogan's weighing up a decider against the Ultimate Warrior.

Don't really see a problem with Hogan's role in TNA in all honesty. OK, its a bit cringeworthy when he does anything physical but you can't say he's not been doing his best to put over the young talent in his promos.

The whole FN show was indeed fantastic from top to bottom. The after show was cringworthy with some terrible acting but still compelling.

Former WWE Star Lance Cade passed away Friday, heart failure.

Have watched the Sheamus Sky Sports News interview, his new 'gimmick' in his fued with Cena sounds absolutely cringeworthy.

What gimmick is that then?
