Have also heard Khali is a nice guy backstage, too. Very puzzling.

I don't care what people say, Bob Barker on Raw was money. The guy got the biggest pop I've heard in years and was awesome. Hard to believe he's 86.
Haha had no idea he was that old tbh, not seen any of the show though, but gather there was some confusion regarding a segment involving Big Show and Santino? Apparently the thing had to be done again or somesuch, which left thr crowd a bit confused...not sure what actually happened, is a bit hard to piece together from just reading the reports.

Batista apparantly going to make a big announcement next week. Will the WWE dare do gloating heel interupts Brave Faces' retirement speech so soon after Jericho & HBK?

Actually got home in time to watch RAW this week. Quite a good show, problem being they didn't actually do anything to put their PPV over. Bob Barker is a dude. Trish back on TV next week is pretty awesome too. Might record that episode.

So soon? That was nearly a year ago, and yeah, imo they almost certainly will. Unless it's some stupid swerve, and Batista's big announcement will be "I'm back, and better than ever" or something equally dire. Ah well, he'll be back on the shelf one way or another however you look at it, can't say I'll be dissapointed by that either.

Though this kind of info should be taken with a pinch of salt, it's again interesting to note, that this week the showing of TNA Impact in the UK got more viewers than either showing of WWE RAW.

As I said last time, Bravo is a freeview channel....hell, in two weeks I'll probably be watching Impact but not Raw as the Sports channels are going, going, gooonnnne

Can't wait for Trish next week

You're right, but it comes free with SKy & Virgin, which means it has a much wider potential audience than Sky Sports

Yeah, that's true. still an interesting stat though, would be interested to see how it compared to the viewing figures for the WWE shows that go out on Sky 1 and Sky 2.
 

GIMH

Norwood's on Fire
Yeah it would indeed, but the only way to get a decent comparison would be to air Raw on Sky1 in a similar timeslot and see what happens
 

sledger

Spanish_Vicente
Yeah indeed, I imagine TNA would come out ahead of Afterburn, but then again, that's because nobody gives a ****e about the highlights shows, or at least, to a much lesser extent than they would about the real show. Should put Smackdown back on Sky 1 imo, like they did back in the day, used to love getting up on Saturday morn to watch it.

Jeff Hardy was arrested on drug charges. The amount of drugs found in his home was staggering. Police found 400 odd pills of painkillers, over 500 ml of steroids and residual amount of cocaine. How in the hell did he keep passing the wellness policy?

What a loser and what a terrible example for young children who look up to him. This just goes to show that the wellness policy is really easy to avoid or that it's not run properly and the big stars get a free ride.

Oh dear, very sad times. Very dissapointed with this news, but not particularly surprising, sad as that is to say. It still staggers me that guys try and take this path, after what happened to Eddie and Benoit, they really ought to know better, Shocking example to set for young children though, really poor, considering Jeff is pretty much the one all the kids adore. Probably just as well he is done with the WWE at this point really.

Breaking Point predictions anyone? Anyway, here's mine for tomorrow's show.

World Heavyweight Championship Match: CM Punk vs The Undertaker
A difficult match to predict, but it should be a great match. I love the idea of a long CM Punk vs Undertaker feud and I think both their styles should work together really well. I'd hate to see CM Punk lose the title so soon but I doubt Undertaker will be tapping out on PPV. There might be a case of Undertaker losing by being knocked out from the pain but I think it's more likely that Undertaker will win the belt here.

WWE Championship Match: Randy Orton vs John Cena
I think WWE have done as much as they could with Randy Orton's title reign so I think John Cena is winning it here. I hope WWE go in the direction of fresh match ups following this PPV. Randy Orton vs MVP or Mark Henry would work well as would John Cena vs Jack Swagger. I think Cena's winning the belt though.

DX vs Legacy
It wouldn't hurt to have Legacy win this match, but they won't.

ECW Championship Match: Christian vs William Regal
If they give these two more than 10 minutes, this could be one of the best matches of the night. I think William Regal needs to win the title here as that would really help with establishing his new group. Plus Christian needs a run as a motivated challenger before he grows stale as the ECW Champion.

Undisputed Tag Team Championship Match: Chris Jericho and The Big Show vs MVP and Mark Henry
Chris Jericho and Big Show are doing such a great job as Tag Team Champions, I see no need to take the belts off of them. MVP and Henry will look like stars out there though and it will be a competitive match but it's very likely that Jericho and Big Show will retain their titles.

United States Championship Match: Kofi Kingston vs The Miz
Kofi and The Miz have both been great lately so it doesn't bother me who wins. For the sake of a prediction, I'll say it's the right time for The Miz to become the new United States Champion.

Kane vs The Great Khali
This match won't be great but hopefully it'll be decent enough. Kane won the last time, I'm going with a Khali victory this time.

The show seems decent enough with some potentially good matches. I'm looking forward to CM Punk vs The Undertaker and I hope it'll be a great match.

It's very strange. I think there is more to be revealed on this one yet.

Jericho has said on twitter:

Don't think of judging Jeff Hardy until you've walked a mile in his shoes. I will always have Jeff's back

Not surprised if he had a tonne of painkillers. Reminds me of the "behind the laughter - a retrospective" episode of the Simpsons where they revealed that Homer's "brand of slapstick comedy" led him to become addicted to pain killers. Jeff has always taken some insane punishment.

Residual amount of cocaine as well, though.

Some rumours going round have suggested that the reason he left was so he was free to take drugs. Bit far-fetched, perhaps!

Jericho has said on twitter:
This is very true, however, as the Police has charged Hardy with intent to supply as well as just the general possession of the Cocaine, he must have a lot of it, and that does not look good in any way whatsoever. I'll eat my words if things turn out differently, but at the moment this does not look good at all.
