IT'S MONDAY!!!!, I am soooooooo giddy for tonight, tna from 8-11, raw at 9,
latest rumours are there still may be a nwo reunion on tna(sorry Mark), Scott Hall and Sean Waltmen(not sure if I spelled that right) are suppose to be there and hogan seen dressed as "hollywood" hogan..
Randy Savage rumours of being on raw tonight will not go away(ohhhhhhh yeah!).
the rock turned down a offer of hosting next weeks raw, that fkn bastard, I am losing respect for him, come on 1 time FFS, wwe is still trying to get him to wrestle at wrestlemania, so next week we are stuck with Mike Tyson.
I can't wait!!!!:)

hahahaha, they just showed Jeff Hardy pulling up to tna in his what 300k car, like holy crap.
Wonder what Vince thinks of that???
philliivey
so Mark, BBC, thoughts on last night?
BBC Z
I only watched RAW but I was a little disappointed that Bret was barely used... and I assume the ending is some setup for a storyline or something?
DrTyore
I thought it was a good Raw...
I liked seeing Bret, and the moment with HBK at the beginning came off as somewhat of a work at times, but I think it was legit and I don't want to see anything come up between the two - especially considering Bret can't wrestle anymore.
I liked the few little jabs at TNA wrestling - vince in a "meeting", Y2J doing the hogan ear cup, etc.
The go home segment with Hart and Vinnie Mac, nothing spectacular, but I wasn't sure if they were going to just do the "feel good" thing, or push out for a multi-show angle with Bret coming back, which is what they clearly ended up going for. Now, I'm not sure what they're going to do with this, again, since Bret can't wrestle, but I expect a WM sharpshooter.

I agree, he was hardly used.
2.2 million viewers for tna which is a record for them.

Missed both as I was in class Monday night and cable just got hooked up ten minutes ago. Will be watching Impact tomorrow and I'm sure I can find a copy of Raw somewhere.
DrTyore
it's on the torrents man... ;)
I'm d/ling the impact, figure I'll enjoy shaking my head at the various 50 somethings trying to relive their past glory.

My Thoughts on Monday night:
Promos - Edge goes to Raw, Bret/Shawn in the ring together something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime, never mind a hug, it looked legit and honest.
Men's Matches - Edge goes to Impact, Angle/AJ, Pope/Wolfe, Joe/Abyss were way better than the typical slop the WWE puts in the ring (which is what we got this week). Kofi/Orton was good, the tag match had a midget attempt to interfere and get punted, so that tells you about that. The four way for Miz's title was good, but needed to be longer, same with Steel Asylym (though that was just a vehicle for Homicide/Jeff Hardy)
Women's Matches - Edge is HUGE for Impact, WWE should either work in FCW to perfect womens wrestling, hire the remaining SHIMMER talent or just stop putting on womens matches and have them be valets and eye candy. I don't even need to mention any details about the Impact matches, the WWE match was that bad by default.
Hype - Tie. Hogan biggest name in wrestling at one time vs. Bret Hart, a large scale legend in the business and one of my personal all time favs. Both big names came in and did what they were supposed to. Bret looked good (as did Hogan) and both were lucid in their comments
... See More
Surprises - Edge to TNA. Jeff Hardy/Ric Flair/old guys vs. ... nothing... It was cool to see Knobs and Sags and Hall and Waltman and Jordan again, I hope that this was a one time thing though.
Ability to build to next shows/PPV - Tie. WWE moved forward with Jericho off of Raw, Legacy implosion, Impact moved forward with trying to show they were really shaking the foundations of their company and Mick Foley, Sting, Jeff Jarrett trying to find their way in the 'new world order'.. <get it, puns are awesome>
Overall- Impact put on a smart strong show with a few spots of typical TNA logic (which isn't a good thing) , WWE basically provided the 'same-old/same-old' with some closure for Bret.
WINNER - Impact.

Just finished watching both shows. Enjoyed them both. Sadly, as much as I hate admiting it, laughed my ass off at the DX stuff in the back with Hornswaggle and Santino. What can I say, I like silly stuff. Impact was better in ring stuff, but I'm still having this bad feeling like it's the WCW reboot all over again. Really hope that TNA comes out strong next week. On a side note, hahahaha at Homicide for not being able to climb out of the cage!

since I am bored as f!@#............
Stone cold and the rock are still being talked about hosting raw, so hope that does happen, booker t (can you dig it SUCKAAAAAAAAA) IS Rumored to show at royal rumble(which I may order on ppv if it looks like it will be good).
TNA is working on moving to monday nights, another wrestling war, sounds good to me.

Philli, I don't know where you get your info but it's a bit off. Booker isn't doing anything with anyone, just enjoying some much needed off time with the occassional date in Puerto Rico and for his own indy group. TNA won't be moving any time soon; the rating was up but not to the point it would justify the money being spent on going live and going against the juggernaut. SC will host right around the time Damages, his new movie, comes out on dvd, so around mid to late march. Rock will be saved for the week or two before Wrestlemania.
DrTyore
I've heard both..
Booker's rumored to be in negotiations with WWE. TNA isn't committed to Monday nights, but Nash and a few others have hinted at Monday nights.
As for this week's run. I just watched the TNA show, and I will admit, I just watched it.. and it's pretty ........... mediocre. The opening "cage" match was a train wreck.. since when does a cage match end in a DQ? Stupid. Also, they were pumping Hogan's motorcade the whole 1st hour, and the first words out of his mouth was that he was in the back the whole day? Retarded.
BUT.. the wrestling was good... Nigel McGuinesses (AKA Desmond Wolff) was great, if under-utilized. Angle / Styles = money 100% of the time. But we'll see what the follow up with!

Stone cold will be the host of raw 2 weeks before wrestlemania!! sweeeeeeeeeeet, can't wait!
Booker T talks have broken off with WWE, so I wonder if there will be any surprise entrants for royal rumble, what do you guys think?

After careful review of last night's Raw
I'm 1000% in favor of stopping the guest GM thing. They don't get it, they're not doing it right, and it's hurting the program.

Yes I agree, I heard they were talking of stopping it and having a "big name" be the G.M., I hope they get stone cold and the rock in there before they stop doing it or having one of those as the permanent G.M.
Who in the blue hell is the 2 that are doing it next week?
