The Wrestling Thread

Anyone watching Extreme Rules?

Saw the majority of it. Edge/Jericho, Rey/Punk both stood out as the better matches of the night. The crowd booing Cena was another sign that they should turn him. He'd make such a better heel. Allegedly Batista is done with WWE for now. He's hanging around for a bit but wants out at the end of his contract.

Raw with the draft was ok. The tag title match was good and the crowd flipped for the switch.

Edge to Raw will be cool, Christian going to SD gives Swagger a new credible opponent. Rest of the other moves are all cool.

Can't believe they're still jobbing out Daniel Bryan

[MrShawnMichaels]

Batista is staying until the next PPV so Cena will retain AGAIN. By the way, what a ****ty ending to their Last Man Standing. ****TY! I guess the Divas will be upset at Big Dave leaving.

JR's contract runs out on Friday. It's looking less likely to be renewed and he's interested in MMA but TNA are snooping for him.

Tara is looking to leave TNA - she has used the WWE threat for some time.

AJ Styles was reportedly pissed at dropping the title last week and acting like a baby. Didn't speak to anyone and walked off pronto.

Raw did 3.1, Impact 0.5 (things couldn't get worse). Raw was a good show albeit with some things which were mindbogglingly resemblant of what happens on TNA but still didn't manage a good number which makes it all that more baffling how Impact didn't get a good rating. MOVE TO THURSDAY YOU ASS GEEKS!

TNA have given up the Monday night ghost. They're heading back to Thursdays in a few weeks. To be fair they were getting crucified in the ratings. The product and the company aren't ready for the Monday night war. Good on em for trying though.

Raw wasn't great. I hate what they're doing with Daniel Bryan. Ok they gave him a chance to look competitive, but it's almost too late now.

What days do they show new shows of TNA on Bravo ?

[MrShawnMichaels]

The greatest Monday night wars ever.

Think they're on Saturday nights fella, not 100% though.

It was more of a skirmish than a war I think

Saw Impact on Bravo tonight, repeat from a few weeks ago. They have no continuity with the broadcast of that show!

[MrShawnMichaels]

Bender, seriously, why on earth do you want to watch that show? It sucks. Really badly sucks. If you don't believe me, watch Orlando Jordan's segment - you could extrapolate that to the whole show regards to silliness and non commonsensical booking and writing.

No, really, don't watch that segment.

Impact has been godawful the last couple of weeks. Its so odd, that show after the ppv was immense, then it all just falls apart again.

[MrShawnMichaels]

I like Sheamus - average worker but does a hell of a promo. Second to Big Dave in heel workers, shame Big Dave's gonna leave.

I think it was at Extreme Rules some kid at ringside shouted at him when he was making his way up the ring 'I hate you', Big Dave just turned round and shouted 'I hate you too!'

i watched it last night it was ok .......but tbh wwe is pretty average ....so it's always good to have an alternative

[MrShawnMichaels]

OK? TNA is far from OK. MrMichael who is TNA fan boi #1 will agree it's pretty poor. When a show in 2010 is built around Hogan meeting Sting and Nash and Waltman being tag team champions, it shows how committed TNA are to the future. They're moving back to Thursdays in the States now, about bloody time. It's a matter of time they fold IMO, it's WCW Mk II.
