I've just given up on raw completely, I find the whole thing excruciating now.

Meanwhile..... TNA look like they're replaced Angelina Love with...... Lacey Von Erich!

She certainly looks the part, and the Von Erich name gives her some real pedigree.... however, last thing I heard she really wasn't very good in the ring at all (like wwe diva sort of bad), and the idea of a woman using the iron claw as a finisher, which apparently she does, is just a bit silly imo (only convincing when the wrestler has rather large hands, which, well, she doesn't).

Not sure about this one at all, I'd much rather have seen them break up TBP until they get Angelina's visa sorted; there's many many more talented women out there (Sarah Del Rey or Daizee Haze for example).

Knockouts wrestling? Call me a traditionalist but I couldn't care.

When's Ken Anderson joining?

Me too, the celebrity guests remind me of WCW and the Robocop and Chucky segments. Although if Bret Hart comes back I will watch as he is my all time favorite wrestler, I even have a signed copy of his autobiography.

Good God it was bad back in the day

I've lost faith in Raw too, its lost its way completely. Vince has final say on everything and if he's approving that ****e he must be high 24/7!

Was watching the 10th anniversary of Smackdown DVD last night. So many good bits from the past, especially the attitude era. Some crap in there too like, (Big Boss Man invading Big Shows dad's funeral ) but lots of Eddie Guerrero which was cool

No idea about Ken Anderson, I thought he'd be in TNA now, no compete clause is up. I know he's doing Hogan's Australia tour though.

Lacey Van Erich will stink the place up she's not great

Cheers for the vid, I've been looking for that one of Chucky for ages.

To be fair Boss Man invading the funeral was very funny, however not in the way they intended it.

no worries pal, had to look for em after they were mentioned

That's pretty much what they said on the DVD to be honest. Unintentially funny, remember when Boss Man got hung by Taker at Wrestlemania? haha

Yeah, that was another epic. Especially when he turned up the next day and everything was business as usual, they just acted as if nothing had ever happened.

[MrMichael]

That was very VERY silly

I never used to, but when they're actually good it adds something to the TNA shows where the same segments on the 'E are like enforced piss breaks. Some of their girls are excellent workers and very talented for the right reasons, its a step forward for modern tv wrestling imo.

I reckon he'll turn up at BFG.

[Joe King]

I watched Impact last night - it was fairly average. What on earth is Matt Morgan doing in the title frame?

As is standard in the WWE, classic moment. I remember another situation recently where Cena was practically destroyed at a PPV, yet the night after was putting up a convincing fight. Joke!

God only knows. Vince Russo is ****ing that **** up! At least they have a quality champ in AJ

You only have to look at Breaking Point where he was beaten from pillar to post for a good ten - fifteen minutes only to go on the offence for a minimum four minutes and win the title with a submission.

SuperCena! I've got a feeling they're going to hot potato the title again and Orton will regain it at Hell in a Cell, don't know why, just a thought

That's not a bad shout which makes the change at Breaking Point seem meaningless.

I thought there were some pretty good segments in it, and some not so great ones too. Alissa Flash v Hamada is going to own



As for Morgan, since Jarrett was sidelined they've been trying to do a "passing of the torch" thing. AJ, Morgan, Hernandez and Eric Young have all been getting big pushes with the likes of Sting and Angle putting them over. Morgan's not really in the title frame, he's had one shot in a 4-way at the last ppv after a storyline build between him and Angle. He's not that bad you know, his promos have got better and he can move much better than most of the "monsters" in wwe. Not a big fan of his but its good to see them looking forward a bit.

It is but this is the company that has the Rev Al Sharpton hosting Raw tonight so I wouldn't put anything past them
