Billy and Chuck were awesome, and the wedding is probably one of my favourite moments in the last ten years of wrestling. Honestly did not see that coming and it was a fantastic swerve.

The Stephanie/Rikishi follow up, however...

Just as I read that it was coming on on the DVD, wasn't gonna watch it but I'll give it a go.

Just had a bit of Taker-Jeff, great match

:wub: Jeff, the only reason I wasted two hours of my life watching this week's abysmal Impact, and he wasn't even bloody well on it.

Cracking opening match between Generation Me (Young Bucks from ROH) and Motor City Machine Guns, mind you. Total spotfest but loads of fun, I recommend it. The rest of the show was absolutely awful. nWo need to **** off and fast, and as for the Nasty Boys, don't even get me started.

People may say that WWE gets stale but at least it gets stale with genuine talent rather than washed up tag teams who weren't even much cop at their peak, which was nineteen years ago by the way. Seriously, if this is TNA's idea to bring around a new series of wrestling wars then it's no wonder Bischoff lost the last one, and badly.

On that note, read The Death of WCW this week, a cracking and hilarious read.

Watch a fair bit of wrestling and that was one of the best matches that I have had the privledge of watching. Generation Me seem to be a cracking tag team who pull off spots with efficiency and good timing.

Indeed. The only good way that I can see it panning out is if the Nasty Boys get owned by the Dudleys, comprehensively beaten and leave TNA, much to Hogan's shagrin and the NWO similarly faces a massive and successful backlash by the TNA roster and also leave TNA, undermining Hogan's position as dominant leader. However, Hogan booking himself as an unsuccessful heel general manager seems especially unlikely and so we have this dichotomy of his friends (who are heels) and him (the face) - something certainly needs to be cleared up there! The realistic best case scenario would be Hogan booking himself as heel against Jarrett, but I do not see that fued panning out that way, especially after this week's Impact.

Yeah, I could deal with all these wasters being brought in if they are going to be comprehensively beaten by the TNA roster, thus giving those guys a lot more credibility. But I doubt that will happen.

And then Jeff's sitting in the midcard. I mean don't get me wrong, unless you're Ric Flair in your peak then I don't think any wrestler should walk into a federation and get the top title, but at the same time there's no point hiding a guy who was THE most over face in pro-wrestling last year.

Singles feuds would be a good way to disperse the new talent. I want the Nasty Boys gone asap, but I'd like to see Hall feud with Wolfe, for example, and Syxx Pac or Kid Pac or whatever he is being called, put some of the young X Division talent over in singles competition. I just feel that tag team and group competition would be the worst way to use the NWO people - having them compete as a group (tag team, six man tag, interferance, etc) will be a disaster, imo. Having people like Val Venis feud with Daniels and a possible Jordan/Pope programme could also make interesting TV.

It is upsetting for me to see Jeff Hardy in TNA. WWE made him the star that he is and I do not think he can replicate half of that in TNA. For one, his high flying style which got him over in WWE won't work nearly as well in TNA, because there are far better and far more numerous exponents of such a style.

My friends and I were debating last night whether or not he was putting on being drunk or not.

I wouldn't rule it out, given how shoddily he has behaved in his previous stints with TNA. It's so painfully obvious that the only reason the company have any connections with him whatsoever is as a means to appease Hogan. Just awful.

The guy used to ooze talent, what a decline. Is out of shape and only worth watching just to laugh at how far he has fallen.

I haven't enjoyed watching him wrestle since the late 90s tbh, his WWE return with Nash and Hogan in 2002 was pretty bad as well to be honest, in my view anyway. Everyone just wanted to see Hogan, nobody gave a crap about Hall and Nash, and understandably so, they were past it even then. Give a video of the old Razor Ramon anyway, not this current bull****.

Yeah, late-90s is as far as I'd go as well. Basically he was good as Razor Ramon and then good when the nWo was fresh and exciting.

I'm also clueless as to how anyone will pay to see Sean Waltman on television a whole twelve years after he ceased to be relevant. I also thought him and Hogan despised one another.

Despite Waltman being a total idiot, I have always quite liked his ring work and character. I have no problem with him being around, because at least he can still wrestle, even if he is as credible as any random guy off the street. I imagine however, that he is only about because he is a friend of Hall, and as such Hall probably demanded he be given a slice of the pie so to speak as a condition of Hall himself joining up. What is clear though, is that as soon as Hall is on his way (which let's face it, probably won't be too far away) Waltman will be going straight out the door with him.....and then we'll be right back where we were before TNA made all these revolutionary changes, nice one Dixie Carter.
