Is it just a storyline or has he actually bought Raw?

[MrMichael]

Trump

TNA's Slammiversary owned, couple of great matches, the X-division one was a sick spotfest, Daffney took some mental bumps in the Monster's Ball, and there's a huge swerve at the end of KOTM. A Russo special, but not in a bad way really.

Best ppv in quite a while.

[Jayesh87]

I don't see whats so funny

Its possible he could have bought Raw, he is rich enough

Commercial free Raw tonight, plus THE DONALD!!! Not sure how long this will last, despite being really good mates, I can't see him hanging aound WWE too long. Although anytime he's on TV that barnet will raise a laugh. In his autobiography there's an entire chapter on it!

Not sure what's going on with Jeff Hardy, seems he's taking time out soon.

[Joe King]

Commercial free Raw won't last a huge time. I wouldn't be surprised if McMahon wants Raw back and they fight for it at some rubbish PPV with Cena - Big Show as the main event.

Think Raw's just ad free this week, I expect you're right though Joe, dodgy PPV match for control, prob Hair vs hair again

I think Jeff is off for a bit you know

Saw bits of TNA last night. Angle looks crazy with his new beard and 'hair' not sure on the swerve turn at the end. If that guy wasn't as loyal, he'd be in WWE now

[Joe King]

What's Russo done to him now?

Is Heyman in TNA?

[Joe King]

Hey Mr Milkman, watch my favouritest video on the interwebs!

Haha Russo's a clown! I don't get TNA at times, There's some amazing talent there, (Styles, Daniels, LAX, MCMG and Joe being the standouts) but they end up setting up confusing or dull matches and getting in ex WWE nobodies and pushing them like mega stars, grrr!

As for Heyman, he's doing, well, whatever he does. He has a website called Heyman Hustle and also, (and this is the sad part) writes a column for the rag that is the S*n. I won't link his website cos I went through it and found a piece about that crappy 'papers' website

On a sidenote, Trump, (well WWE) is refunding everyone's ticket at Raw tonight and there's a rumour that Vinny Mac is bringing Million Dollar Mania back

[MrMichael]

What on Earth WWE "creative" are doing I have no idea. Whole thing seems utterly ridiculous to me and makes Russo-booking look interesting. Raw is a joke at the moment.

Russo Is often pretty clownish, especially with his constant use of unexplained gimmick matches, but imo the Joe swerve the other night was fair enough.

Joe had to turn heel, the whole nation of violence thing wasn't over with the fans or crowd as a face, and although it seems a bit random with him having taken out the rest of the MEM in recent weeks it has been being teased slightly in his promos with AJ. Tbh the whole selfish, out for himself only thing could work well with Joe's gimmick. I can see a hell of a programme between him and AJ now. Tazz's 90-day no-appearance clause is up soon, I'd be surprised if he isn't worked into it somehow.

I'm not sure that's entirely fair about ex-WWE nobodies johnly; Angle, Nash, BookerT, Dudleys etc are a bit more than nobodies and really, have helped take the TNA brand places it wasn't going without them. I agree they have to make sure their young talent goes over, just as the Dudleys have done perfectly with BMI, and really, of those older stars, only Nash is an embarrassment.... and he could never wrestle anyway. Foley's reign was hilarious and brilliantly done, I love the gimmick being that he can't actually wrestle, because it was true. Brought to an end at the right time too. In the tag, x-division and knockout divisions there's some outstanding talent, which puts on far better matches than WWE does, and with Joe, AJ and Morgan around as "TNA talent" to go up against Sting, Angle and co, their main-event scene is pretty healthy at the moment.

I just hope they don't concentrate on picking up people like Kennedy and Umaga instead of the likes of Black and Danielson from ROH, those 2 would be great in TNA.

Ah Mr M. I was more thinking Matt Morgan when I say nobodies they pushed that geezer to the hilt at one point. Same with Kip James and BG James, the act was good and over, 10 years ago! As much as I enjoyed DX, I don't really want it now. Angle, despite being a f'n mess, is an awesome worker. So glad I got to see him live before he left WWE, and for free too, bonus! Tazz will rock up soon I expect, he's teased it for ages. I enjoy TNA at times, then at others I have to question why I'm bothering with it. I'd hope they cuold get Danielson, that guy is the ****! Although you know Kennedy and Umaga are both coming without a shadow of a doubt.

Now to WWE, I agree with you fella, what the cluck is going on?! The Trump storyline gone after 7 days, nonsensical booking, crazy decisions. The only things I'm interested in are Orton/Legacy, Punk and Jericho. The Jericho/Mysterio fued is nothing new, but they can work and put on an awesome match. Punk is one of their finest and is playing a really cool role right now, no-one really knows what he is. Face/Heel/inbetween, he's playing it so well. The match with Hardy should be a to the mazing. Orton has the star factor on Raw and besides Maryese is the only reason its worth watching. HHH better not win the title on Sunday

I think Miz should have won that, they need to create new stars and have just buried him so damn deep I'd be surprised if he ain't future endevoured soon! Watched The Bash with a few mates today. Jericho/Mysterio was great. The tag titles have got a bit fresher and the Orton/HHH match was just dire, stop the fued now and send HHH away for a bit, he's stinking the place up! MVP should step up.

Loving the work they're doing with Punk though

[johnly]

Can't sleep cos its too bloody hot, so I'm watching Raw. HHH can go **** himself, selfish prick!

[Joe King]

What's he done now, the overgrown goat.
