Nigel McGuinness has signed for TNA instead of WWE :D And it's thought Bryan Danielson
May also have sign as WWE was slow with the contracts.


Mean X Division just got a huge boost with McGuinness but if you can get Danielson that would be awesome.

Danielson a couple of years ago would have been huge. Not sure what's been up with him recently but at least he has genuine talent despite probably being on the small side. Hope they push him although it's a huge step up from the indies to the WWE, but he's young enough I guess.

That is surprising news. I thought Nigel McGuiness had signed with WWE but apparently he had only agreed but not signed anything. Nigel McGuiness is probably more suited to TNA but you can't help but think that WWE would be pretty angry at his decision. I hope he hasn't ruined any chances of a future career with the WWE.

I don't blame him though as it was probably on his WWE contract that he would have to spend 2 years in developmental where as on TNA he'd be able to debut on Impact immediately and be on television. Looking at the spoilers for Impact this week, it seems that he debuts by attacking Kurt Angle backstage. Not a bad way to debut on television.

Must watch episode of ECW tonight. Christian vs Chris Jericho!

Absolutely awesome. But this is match that should be on a major PPV and not on ECW. But either way, can't wait to watch the show.

I think he has actually made the right move here to be honest, he is a very credible worker who if handled correctly could really help TNA, and like you say, debuting by attacking Kurt Angle backstage is pretty big, really looking forward to seeing how they handle this.

I'm guessing that Booker T and Scott Steiner are done with TNA now, after losing the tag team titles the other night I assume they will now leave sometime soon.

Yeah, agreed on all counts. Some of the matches they had together back around 2004-5 were fantastic. The cage match on RAW where Christian got written off TV for a while after Jericho beat him to a pulp was one of the best TV matches I have ever seen, so will be looking forward to this.

Edit: And here that match is, love the way teh crowd goes crazy as soon as Trish tries to interefere.

Seems it's it's Angle VS McGuiness at Turning Point. Oh and Daniels,Joe and Styles for the title.

YouTube - Christian Vs. Chris Jericho Steel Cage Match RAW 2004 (2/2)
Anytime Christian and Chris Jericho are in a program whether it is as a tag team or opponents, it's always must see television. The both of them are two of the best all round performers in the world and always give it their best.

Their program back in 2004/2005 was fantastic and I'm hoping they can feud again some time down the line. What would be really good would be Edge and Christian vs Chris Jericho and The Big Show for the Undisputed Tag Team Championship.

That's simply awesome. TNA are finally starting to get their booking sorted. Turning Point seems like a must watch PPV now.
Yeah it really does, Daniels so should have been given a shot at the world title ages ago though, kind of feel like his time has been and gone, should still be a good match mind you.

Another match has been added to Turning Point and that's The Britsh Invasion vs The Motor City Machine Guns for the TNA World Tag Team Championship. Turning Point aleady is shaping up to be one of the best PPVs of the year. It's become a must watch PPV now.

Daniels v Joe v Styles? zomg, they had an amazing triple threat for the World title a few years ago, don't remember which PPV it was, but it was a pretty damn special match.

EDIT: Was for the X-Division title. Watch it if you haven't:

EDIT3: Found it! Much better quality too, and in one video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X64B7SK4-XQ

Haha yeah I remember this, didn't Dave Meltzer give it his maximum match rating which is only handed once in a blue moon?

Haha, kind of sad watching that video, because Daniels looks a shadow of his former self these days, so much thinner.

I posted this in the PS3 and 360 Discussion thread, but I think it's appropriate to post here as well.

Just bought Smackdown vs Raw 2010 for my Xbox 360 and I'm glad I did. This is the best wrestling game I've played since Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain on Playstation 2 back in 2003.

The amount of features and modes in this game is incredible. The gameplay is a lot better and more realistic than last years version and the graphics are incredible. The create a story mode is fantastic and it's pretty amazing at the different types of storylines you can create.

The create a wrestler mode has been boosted by create a finisher which now includes top rope diving finishers and you can also do heaps of other cool stuff like create alternate attires for the wrestlers, create your own entrance movies and create your own highlight reels.

The best thing about it is the realism. If you cause your opponent to bleed, the blood will smear all over the opponents face, down his chest and then onto your fingers and onto your chest. When focusing your attack on the back, the back will start to bruise up and turn red.

The production elements are really impressive too especially during Championship matches where the Championship Belt montage appears before the match and often it feels like you are actually watching the shows.

All in all, it's a real step up from last years game and if you like WWE games, this one is definitely one to get.

Haha, aw MB, you've really tempted me to get it...but I really know I shouldn't..... must say it does sound good, didn't realise that it was even out yet...perhaps if I can find some spare cash I will go for it...but I do have the last 3 versions...and dunno if another one would really be worth it...

Watching TNA : Bound For Glory atm. Could well be going round a mates for the WWE PPV tomorrow night, not sure.. Will depend on how I'm feeling after football in all honesty.

Raw is 10 days delayed in India and not 2.5 days. The raw which I watched today was the one they broadcast 2 weeks back. It has an excellent end of Dibiasi pinning Orton but was generally pretty boring.
