He's been on for 5 mins and done a better job than 90% of the previous hosts already

This DX set is so goofy, it's unbelievably cringeworthy watching 40-somethings acting like childrens tv presenters.

[johnly]

Aye.

I think being out out the Impact Zone is a factor, there were quite a few missed camera shots last night (they need a new friggin director) and general mishaps. Took them too long to take the ultimate X structure down too, though I think getting Daniels out of the ring probably took its time. However, the crowd was seriously hot, not big but they were well into some of it, far better than the crowd @ the zone.

Ultimate X was a big highlight I thought, spotty but in a good way, as good as they've done in a long time... I was marking like a girl when they were ontop of the steel at the crowd chanting "please don't die". Having seen that drop again I can't believe Daniels survived. And Amazing Red with the belt is a great sign of the division coming back.

I enjoyed the tag mayhem fight too, spotty again but Steiner was just great and it was extremely well booked for such a crazy match. Sting-AJ and Angle-Morgan were fine, not great but good enough. And the Monsters Ball was, as you say, just mental. Stupid tazer aside, and very random big spot at the start, but it ended well. Daffney is a proper legend.

Booker might be gone, good ridance I say. I hope Nash follows him, his matches are just awful. Steiner might too, apparently his body's not doing so well, although he went up a long way in my estimation last night and isn't a problem staying around. I think TNA is slowly going in the right direction, despite the hiccups.

They really need to hire a director who knows wrestling. They miss all the err money shots. Daffney is awesome, fair play to her for taking that bump. Yeah I hear Bookers off, possibly back to WWE. Nash can go and retire, God he's awful.

How Daniels is alive is beyond me

[Joe King]

**** me, Team Smackdown is made up of a whose who of total ****e.

At times they're great yet at other times its exactly as you said.

Yep Triple H and HBK just kill Drew McIntyre and Eric Escobar. Way to market the PPV and push these guys

At least Shawn almost tried to recover the burial. Oh dear, not good is it. Now here they go 'approving' their team

[Joe King]

Either Rhodes or Big Show has to screw team RAW on Bragging Rights. It could elongate whatever ****e program they have for Survivor Series.

[Joe King]

When did Kofi Kingston lose his accent?

probably Show so his tag team with Jericho will carry on.

WHOA hold up, Kofi speaks?!>! Since when did he do owt but grin?!

[Joe King]

Seems like Triple H spotted that as well

He probably told Steph to make him lose it. I'd swap Henry out for Bourne or MVP if they could.

[Joe King]

I'd get rid of Henry permanently since he does **** all. I'm off to bed. RAW started well with Snoop and now it looks like it's heading for a nosedive with DX making matches as well

Can't argue with that mate, spot on there. I'm gonna give it a bit of time to improve then hit the sack myself.

[johnly]

Snoop did a damn fine job last night. They even did a weed joke. Apparently we'll be seeing the Bella's on Raw every week now (something I approve of, giggedy!) Vince is said to have "fallen in love with them". Smooth

HHH/Cena was good, it got 18 mins to run too. Jericho/HBK went nowhere as a brawl started and props to the surprise appearance of Marty Janetty! Rockers were awesome
