[Joe King]

A preview and review show of the Rumble sounds good. Mr M, you in?

[MrMichael]

lol, why not?

Genesis tonight. Angle v AJ and Wolfe v The Pope could both be classics. Easy E's promised a "huge" debut tonight too, smart money's on RVD or Anderson, although I've a feeling it might be Sid......

[Joe King]

I watched Impact and wow. Could the booking make any less sense? I loved Generation Me, Jeremy looks brilliant and the ebb and flow in that match was awesome. But it was a clean win against the best tag team in the X division. Likewise, Wolfe winning clean over Joe (one of the more fierce wrestlers at the mo). Morley - Daniels feud is something that is a total waste of time. Why on earth should I care about Val Venis?

The Nasty Boys and The Band are two washed groups fighting two current great tag teams. Again, I don't care about either feud because it hasn't had a built up.

I don't have high expectations about this PPV.

I'm a bit worried about TNA. As you said, the booking is getting silly and if Sid is their big surprise then Houston we have a problem. Bringing back these fossils will do nothing. As you said, why should we care about Morley, Nasty Boys etc etc. Rumours say that the 6 sided ring is no more.

As for the pre/post Rumble ramble shows. Bring it on!

[MrMichael]

Not just rumours - http://www.tnawrestlingnews.com/imag...g/slideshow.pl

Sounds like the debut is Kennedy/Anderson. And possibly Brian Kendrick too. Their roster is getting silly big if so.

[MrMichael]

Red goes over Kendrick with a Code Red. Decent opener, not too spotty. Can't decide about the ring, but the camera work seems like its improved.

Set has an ecw style ramp right up to ring level.

[MrMichael]

Morley beat Daniels with a frog splash. Match was dull as dishwater.

Tara - ODB was pretty forgettable, at least it didn't go to 3 falls.

Brooke Hogan in the crowd is getting far roo much camera time

It was very.... "meh". Crowd was utterly terrible which didn't help, and the longer it went on the more I was missing the 6-sided ring. That and a total lack of gimmick matches. Never thought I'd say that about tna but it left the ppv without any real identity, just a bunch of average singles and tag matches,

Kennedy's debut was funny, "overrated" chants, and his match with Abyss was just bad,

Pope v Wolfe was good, some really innovative offense in that one. Angle - AJ was just ok, and everything else seemed slowed down a bit. It was a wrestling show, but that wrestling just wasn't very inspired.

Is Rocky skill gonna guest host RAW?

The Kennedy thing does not surprise me. I've got it downloaded gonna watch it after 24.

Is Rocky skill gonna guest host RAW?

Rocky says he's going to be back without a doubt. Whenever it happens it will happen. He says him and Vince spoke recently about doing something together.

"The plan was for me to be the host (on Jan. 11)," Johnson said. "But then I had to go to Mexico. The idea of me going back to WWE is intriguing and exciting. I grew up in the business."


Damn Mexico...!
