Edge - Show - Cena gets a massive meh from me. Cena's promos have been quite funny but the storyline is pants, Vicky gets so much of her own heat I'm not sure how the dynamic is now supposed to work with Edge's massive amount of heat. Cena will win, I'm sure of it.

You should post more often MrM

The HHH - Orton thing reminded me of Stone Cold - Pillman a few years ago, only even more ****. Love the way "the police" arrived in like, 2 minutes, must be a station right next door

Guess he'll be "in custody" for a couple of weeks then, save them having to do a lot else with the storyline before 'mania.

Michaels - Taker should be a classic. Great build-up promos too, even if taker does fluff the odd line.

25 dive battle royal? YAWN, that'll be utterly rubbish. What happened to Gail Kim's return, at least she's not an embarassment in the ring.

Oh, and JBL intercontinental champ?

Stone Cold - Pillman, good memory

Triple H - Orton has to be the most boring idea Triple H ever came out with and he has come with some right stinkers.

Edge - Show - Cena: We have seen Cena and Edge before, it would be a weird swerve if Show won it but my general rule is anyone but John Weiner. (sorry Jay) Teasing storylines are a no-no for the writers now who could have prolonged this 'love' storyline a little bit better.

25 Diva Battle Royal - you know whoever the winner is, is going to take her top off and King will lap it up. Its not much of a Diva Battle Royal without Sable to name one of few. Santino might come out for this one He's just comical.

Christian is the other addition for the MITB, supposedly.

Taker's promo with Michaels, I'm sure he fluffled twice or thrice. Was funny to see.

I've heard that there are going to be some Divas from the past involved in the battle royal, which could be interesting. I'll bet that Lita, Trish, Sunny and Molly Holly will make appearances. I've heard Wendy Richter (Women's Champion at Wrestlemania 1) will be involved too. It might be interesting just for the spectacle.

Undertaker/HBK is going to steal the show...can't believe it's 11 years since they had a match against each other.

[Jayesh87]

Hardy v Hardy will be a ace match up =]

Don't know about that one. She hasn't talked to Vince in ages.

Was Taker - Michaels last match the HITC match?

No it was the Casket Match at the Royal Rumble before WMXIV where Michaels messed his back up.

Oh yeah

JBL to retire at Mania, is the latest rumour.

[Leyton388]

I've been watching TNA over the past couple of weeks and it is a lot better than WWE

[spud_gun]

Former WWE wrestler Test found dead today. Cause of death unknown at the moment.

He was apparently only 33 years old.

Wow, thats a shocker. Must be heart failure from drugs.

Storylines tend to be utterly bizarre, but the actual wrestling is much better to watch

Destination X tonight, could be good.

Wow. Really only 33?

I did see something about Jesse Ventura wanting WWE investigated over all these deaths, and the fact that Vince treats them like **** in terms of benefits, contractual rights etc.

Whats the card? I can't be arsed going on TNA's site.

Storylines are beyond bizarre - far too quick the way stables break up, feuds end. Matches being better - debatable. Besides the X Division, what does TNA offer more in wrestling style than WWE? Not to say WWE is better but its pretty much the same between the top guys.

From memory.....

Awesome Kong v Sojurnour Bolt - women's title

Probably another women's match, Beautiful people v Wilde/Roxxy/Governor I expect

AJ Styles v Booker T - legends title

Samoa Joe & his "Nation of violence" v Big Poppa Roids. (Joe's been wielding a big knife the last few weeks since he returned )

Ultimate X - Sabin v Shelley v Creed v Consequences v Suicide (Kaz) - X division title

Dudleys v Beer Money - Tag title/Off wagon challenge (Dudleys lose person pinned is sacked, prob end in a dq)

Abyss v Matt Morgan - Match of a million tacks (or something like that. Hardcore anyway)

Sting v Angle - TNA Title (Jarret ref, Foley special enforcer)

Not a bad card for TNA.


Dunno mate, the X-division is a big difference for me, matches with real athleticism and lots of spots are something WWE really lacks these days. Other than that the main difference for me is that they tend not to oversell **** stuff as much, at their best the matches tend to be faster with more intensity and less tossing off. I find myself hideously bored with WWE's stable of monsters lumbering about the ring, TNA does some really bizarre stuff too that just sucks, but most of that tends to be out of the ring.
