A few things to report today...

In one of the new promotional posters for Wrestlemania XXIV in Orlando it has HBK and Batista fighting in a postcardesk promotional shot with 'Wish You Were Here'...possibly a preview of a match for Mania? We'll just have to wait and see...

And I think were all getting tired (or at least I am) with the Hornswaggle/McMahon angle they've got going...thankfully it should resolve itself by Mania, early indications are of a possible match between Foley and Vince or Foley and Hornswaggle vs Shane and Vince. Still early though...could change.

And Paul London should be back in action in a few weeks, he's nursing a foot injury...that's why Kendrick has been wrestling singles matches so much on RAW.

remember the Rumble guys...thanks- Link

I hope the following does not offend anyone...


As some of you know TNA Wrestling doesn't show over here, but I have downloaded some episodes awhile ago off the Internet. Anyway... I just finish downloading & watching a recent episode of TNA Impact, I think the main event was Tyson Tomko Vs. Kurt Angle(Special referee AJ - Styles) and I can say is damn TNA has still got a hell of a VERY VERY long way to catch up to WWE. A couple things I noticed.


- That Shark-Boy skit they did was awful, ripping off Stone Cold Steve Austin like that.

- The Abyss Vs. Judas rivalry also a rip off the Undertaker & Kane rivalry, James Mitchell taking the roll of Paul Barer being father of Kane and Judas Mesias being the step brother, I could be wrong on this one though, I only watch that one episode.



Overall I was not impressed with the overall product of TNA. I mean they all those great wrestlers going to the dogs, just because the writer are not going a good job.

"No offense TNA fans" but the ring **** me off damn it, and I think that in wrestling rules the ring shouldn't be like that and there's a certain size for it, right?

Ive seen TNA its so dam boring

Not a big fan of it myself, I only watch it every now and again or if a friend tells me, that's about it...everything you said in there is pretty valid. The last good storyline I saw on the show was Angles wife heel turn, even then...eh

It's got a long way to go for sure to even compete with WWE, one thing they have to start doing if they want to have a solid run as a company is start developing their own superstars and stop 'borrowing' guys from WWE, mainly jaded guys who left WWE

A few things I like though are the run guys like Christian, Jeff Jarett, Rhyno, Billy Gunn, Ron Killings, etc... have had. WWE never really gave them a chance at the main event and their all better off in TNA because of this... Rhyno especially, he is freakin amazing in TNA, much better off. That and they do have interesting ppv's every now and again with unlikely events and matches.

And yeah, while it's creative I don't care for the Octagon ring either...never have. The core of TNA is fast paced, action packed, wrestling with smaller guys (like Petty Williams) competing...the wrestling is different, but in a good way. The fans I find appreciate the wrestling more too, the basis of TNA is hardcore wrestling fans that (even if the entertainment part of the show sucks) still cheer and support the brand...something that doesn't always happen in WWE. In a lot of ways if it wasn't for these fans, they'd of gone under long ago, their extremely loyal.

But you can't really base the entire TNA company on one show you've seen, you have to keep watching weekly or at least several more shows to form a solid opinion. In anycase we'll see where their show goes from here

I actually don't mind TNA, i rarely watch it though. I'd prefer the WWE.

On a different note Brock Lesnar fihts in the UFC today anyone reckon he can win. Also I found this clip on youtube which suggests Kurt Angle might follow him Lesnar vs Angle in UFc that would be awesome!

They actually had a back stage MMA fight back in WWE and according to Brock Lesnar he beat Kurt Angle in 30 secs. This wasn't a professional fight just a spar between the two.
