Two matches ending with the same exact finisher? Rhino with the GORE and LASHLEY with the spear. That's got to be a first, right? I don't remember it happening in the WWE when Rhino had the Gore and Edge had his running hug.

Yes there are people that would buy them the big problem is daddy Carter wont sell without Dixie going along with the deal and NO ONE WANTS THAT. Yeah its like anyone who buys the Family Network (currently ABC Family). Because of some deal Pat Robertson made when the channel started, no matter who owns the channel the 700 Club gets I think at least 3 hours a day and they can never be cancelled. Honestly the best option would be for Spike to buy the majority share and if they have to keep Dixie around so be it. I want Jon Taffer to go over those books.

I'm going to the Thursday one. Is it going to be the last taping for a while? If TNA were smart (we know they aren't) if they're still running house shows, just further angles and tape matches at them. Might give it an even grittier feel. Though turn the lights off cause no one wants to see a good match with say Joe vs. Aries with only 10 people in a 1000 seat building. And just turn the lights off during Wolves matches because no one wants to see those matches period. I'm tempted to bring a giant WORKRATE!!! sign for them.

See, thats what should be on the network. Dean Ambrose's 30 minute hobo meals.

I chose to do something more interesting with my time and took a nap. I woke up to see Rollins vs. Slater. Ambrose's trolling was so amazing. I loved how JBL was like "he's stealing from the crowd". The Lesnar/Cena promo was awesome. Cena and his humility. Brock is gonna kill him and put his head on a pike and carry it around as a trophy where ever he goes. Who cares if Brock's only gonna be there once a month as champion. I'll take the fear of Brock over Super Cena any day of the week. As for that segment at the end. This is what we get for not recomending people to subscribe to the network. This is our punishment. Two straight weeks of Stephanie vs. Brie. ITS ONLY $9.99 PEOPLE.

My walking thing continues to get better as I finally broke the ten mile mark in a week. According to map my walk, I did 11.7 miles over 4 days of walking. (3 straight/1 off/1Back on). Considering I started this thing at the end of June with no miles in total (occasionally I'd do a maybe a mile unintentionally), I have to say this whole walking thing feels good mentally at least. Physically my knees and feet are killing me, but its nothing I can't live with. Just saw more good news. I've done 48.45 miles so far this summer. I might just break 100 before the fall yet.

Yeah if NXT is any indication, when Triple H gets control of RAW, dare I say most of it might be watchable.

Robbie E was on Friday's edition of TMZ towards the end. They got him at LAX and asked him about naked yoga and he talked about how women fart during it. The amusing part was he was introduced by the guy who always pitches wrestling stuff as TNA Wrestler Robbie E and Harvey had this look of "yeah ok". That's TNA's problem in a nutshell. No one has a clue that TNA is even a thing.

Harley will forever be a man's man. But you're telling me someone couldn't pay for him to take a commuter flight so he didn't have to make probably a 12 hour drive each way?

Did Angle break a shark's freakin' neck? I was sad that Kurt Angle wasn't in a fireman's uniform with at leas the white chief's helmet. But I guess they couldn't afford costumes in the budget. I love though that it was clearly shot in the winter (there was even snow on the ground) but they said ehh and didn't even bother to digitally erase it or the steam when someone was taking a deep breath. I thought the funniest part though was when they were on the 7 train and when they got on at New Shea. I just liked how there was MTA guys casually walking around in the background. I also thought it was hilarious they found the old set for Super Mario Bros when the two subway guys went to shut off the valvue.

It was every bit as horrible as I hoped it would be. I loved the sheer insanity and absurdity of it.

Gail is awesome. I still contend one of the best Knockouts matches ever was Gail/ODB vs. Kong/Saeed (Melissa) at Lockdown. I was sad when she went back to the WWE cause I knew there was no way she would ever have any awesome matches like the ones with Kong. It would be awesome to see her in a mentor type role on NXT. But, isn't her bridge still burned after she did the whole roll out of the ring spot in that battle royal on live television?

Oh come on. With all the back surgeries Hogan's had in the last few years, Abyss should tower over him. Hogan was probably like "LISTEN BROTHER, HULK HOGAN'S ALWAYS GONNA BE 6 FOOT EIGHT BROTHER"

When my mother was going to high school here in Brooklyn in the late 60's, she told me some of the "bad" girls did that so you would never want to fight them cause if you grabbed their heads you'd get all cut up. Now that I'm thinking about it, Stephanie needs to do some Mean Streets of Greenwich promo's about how Brie don't want none of this. Great, now I'm picturing Soccer Mom Stephanie rolling up in her mini van with Power 105 blasting.

Man this RAW was book ended by two really good matches and about two and a half hours of stuff that was boring as hell in between. I love when John Cena trys to be SRS BUSINESS CENA. Man, Cesaro calling him a walking K-Mart ad was just so great. Look at Cena, you can tell that legit got to him. See, if they had Cesaro and Heyman doing this sort of stuff oooh I don't know FROM THE START, it would have worked out a lot better for Cesaro. The match between them was great in your usual "can John Cena overcome the odds and defeat a real wrestler" format. I agree with the comment mentioned somewhere above that Cena looks slow trying to do his "wrestling" stuff. Skipping forward, I loved the AJ/Paige segment. I think they're gonna have a real fun match if they are allowed to at Summerslam. Paige really does have the mean girl act down pat. Bo losing pissed me the hell off. They seriously threw away a huge money making moment for someone. I probably wouldn't have even cared if it wasn't R-Truth. talk about an act that just needs to go away all ready. But the post match beat down was great though. Still pissed he lost though. Orton vs. Reigns has all ready made my do not care list. Anything Orton is involved in lately is a channel changer and Reigns is closely following him. Jericho vs. Rollins was a good match. I'm sad by the lack of Ambrose though. But hey at least hes on Main Event. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE. I can't believe Stephanie/Brie got the main event. Between her and Nikki, Brie is by far the hotter and better skilled Bella. But its amazing to think of all the things that could have gotten this build its gone to Brie and Stephanie McMahon. I guess the Nikki heel turn is coming at Summerslam. Ah well I hope Stephanie still has some of her old fake leather wrestling outfits. Those always made her matches tollerable.

So if Spike thinks Dixie is completely inept, could Daddy Carter throw her under the bus and fire her and put someone new in charge as a sign of good faith to maybe get the show resigned or are we well past that point. I know I was asking for way too much there.

Russo can't soley be blamed for this. Years of piss poor management and a brand that has ZERO market recgnition is what will have ultimately killed TNA. Russo was a paper cut on a giant bleeder.

And a much better one then his old man to boot. Then again he did learn from Keith Moon. I don't mind older guys being brought in as long as they can still go. I'm guessing Tajiri will be feuding with Senada as part of that Wrestle 1 deal since Senada just turned his back on Muta. I'm going to the show on the 7th. BEER SAKE vs. Muta/Tajiri needs to happen.

I like the rich heel gimmick. But not the way the WWE does it which is "well we hit pay dirt with the Million Dollar Man 25 years ago...so lets just keep doing that". Cesaro as an elite European snob would be so awesome. Basically have him be the Swiss Tully Blanchard. He could absolutely pull off Tully's snark and swagger. Hell, when they bring Charlotte up have her be his Babydoll. If he's "King", he needs a Queen. It's a shame none of this will happen because the WWE would rather have him just be bland than do anything interesting.

Basically what TNA should have been from the start before they decided to hold the NWA World and World Tag titles hostage.

How has a recording of the feed of Vince screaming at the announcers not made its way to the Internet yet? Well when someone gets ahold of Smackdown, its usually because they find the sattelite feed the WWE is using to send it back to Stamford. Of all those shows found, you hear Cole and who ever's with him talking to Vince but never Vince himself. From what I remember in taking television production, the channel to that headset is just direct from the truck so its not being broadcast. Sad cause I would absolutley love to see an episode of RAW with like a directors commentary of Vince screaming instructions.

Hansen's Bubble Witch Saga 2 addiction is out of fuckin' control! James I'm just picturing Hansen playing Candy Crush and getting pissed because he's stuck on a level and then lariating the first person he sees.

Man this show was so horrible except for the Stephanie/Brie confrontation. When the two cops came out and started reading miranda I could not stop laughing. I can't believe they really are giving this kind of build to a Stephanie/Brie match, but man it was fun to watch. Triple H realzing "hey, she's gotta get processed and stuff" was the best part. As for the Brock promo. My God that Heyman promo was something else. I await Brock conquering Cena and then sitting on his throne of skulls with Cena's head on a pike as his latest victory. Brock defending the WWE Title when HE feels like it could work. If Ambrose somehow gets a title shot, he would be crazy enough to go to Texas Chainsaw Minnesota (Heyman called Brock's compound that once) to get his match.
