X-Pac was at TNA’s Slammiversary…

Also he is still under contract with MTV and why would the WWE take him back. His a ****, has a poor attitude has not wrestled a decent match in more than a decade though he was the bag man for the Clique and Triple HHH is practically running RAW nowadays but it would be a surprise if he does comeback especially considering the fans hate him legitimately.

i remember at one point he was a face in the jericho mould of a few years back, but it never really materialised further than that.

*BIG Kurt Angle News: Kurt is going to be taking some time off. It is NOT injury related, it could be something personal. It could be (this is speculation, not fact, that Angle may not be as happy in ECW as he thought he would be--he arrived at the ECW show in Philly at the last minute and has been far less social backstage than he has been in the past on other brands. Angle will be gone likely for several months after he takes his leave of absence.

*Paul Heyman is officially off the main booking of ECW. Heyman had a little bit of say in the first match and last match of this week's show, but that was it. Vince & Kevin Dunn booked the middle portion of the show, and informed Heyman prior to the show Dunn would head the booking team for ECW now, Heyman will now be the head writer.

*Gunner Scott is being sent back to OVW. Management doesn't feel he has gotten over enough with the fans. Look for his last appearance in a while to happen this week on Smackdown.

*WWE has decided to move away from making ECW an "alternative" product and more of third WWE brand. In other words, expect more backstage segments and RAW-esque storylines.

*Sabu's push won't be affected by any of this. WWE management is very high on Sabu based on his performance since joining the company.

*People Heyman were interested in bringing (CM Punk) *may* not be brought in with quite the push they were going to have originally.

*Heyman will continue to come up with ideas for new characters, as longs as fit more of a WWE style mold.

*Tommy Dreamer does not have any booking/creative control at the moment over the product.

*All the ECW originals you saw on the show last night were the only ones brought to the show. London/Kendrick were not brought up yesterday either. WWE had nothing for these people to do and have a different budget to juggle with the combined ECW/Smackdown rosters on the same show.

Tell me what fued it was, I only have dialup.

EDIT: Never mind, I saw it was Austin and The Rock.

Incidently, my favourite fued of recent years was Lesnar v. Taker. Thought the buildup to the Hell in a Cell at No Mercy 2002 was top notch.

Anyway moving to a different story...

Just curious if Undertaker is going to be in Smackdown anytime soon, and does anyone think he will be able to beat Great Khali!!

Who really cares?

Smackdown is down the hole, and the Great Khali is just some massive guy, with the story being the same as usual. Big guy bashes up heaps of little guys. whoopie

- Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn told everyone (including Paul Heyman) at the TV taping on Tuesday that he isn't happy with the direction of ECW and that it will become more of a WWE-style brand in the coming weeks. McMahon will be taking over creatively. Whatever minor hope people had that Paul Heyman would be able to run this brand is now gone. Many others backstage, including those who work for RAW and/or Smackdown, are upset about this because they were hoping a different ECW product would provide a spark to the business as a whole.

-Behind the scenes, Vince McMahon has been less predictable and more erratic than ever before. Everyone is catering to him in fear - in fear of him possibly snapping on them. McMahon isn't running WWE with much input either - probably less than at any point in WWE history. The only two people who have enough clout and respect to disagree with his decisions are Kevin Dunn and Stephanie McMahon.

The creativity in WWE currently is at an all-time low, the whole three shows are nothing more than walking contradictions. Everything is old hat, storylines from a decade previous, Fake Kane=Fake Undertake. D-X = Nothing more than middle age tools who give the most juvenile and gay promo's known to man. They might be funny to my WWE mark brother but anyone with a ounce of intelligence knows it the same old ****, trying to evoke the same sort of response as the attitude era.

I know it’s ‘Sports Entertainment’ now but can we at least have some wrestling on show not Khali squash matches. I do not watch wrestling shows for ‘funny’ segments featuring D-X and Vince McMahon trying his best to be Al Pacino, I watch it because I enjoy seeing good wrestling and if WWE are more than happy to have more talking and less wrestling why not do what Nitro did and at least have some credits after the show, so we can see who wrote this ****. It’s a TV show, kayfabe is dead.

As for ECW, it gives Smackdown a run as the most pointless and mind boggling boring show on TV, WCW Thunder was better than this and that is saying something. You have some **** Vampire outside the arena in BROAD DAYLIGHT and if that was not real contempt for it’s audience, you have a crowd full of kids who do not have clue who most of these wrestlers are, it's embarrassing.

It is no surprise that TNA’s ratings are on the increase, what started out as an alternative to WWE could forcibly become a competitor which can only be good for both parties - and at least TNA does what it says on the tin show wrestling and if they don’t they have killer promo's like this occurring… :laugh: Classic, I now mark for the Big Bad Booty Daddy.

I wish I could see more of TNA, the few shows I've seen have been quality.
Click to expand...
I like it, we get it a week late in the UK but the TWC (The Wrestling Channel) is pretty good in the fact that we get the PPV’s free, which are usually very good.

Must admit since I got digital at the start of the year I have lost interest in the WWE, only occasionally catching the odd show because of Sky Sports promise to show wrestling seemingly every single day and hour of the week.

Though TNA still have the air of a rejected love child of WCW (in some of it’s storylines), it’s use of wrestlers however has been very good (though it’s treatment of one Austin Aries has been pretty bad). Scott Steiner has been great as a monster heel and has put over Samoan Joe, Kevin Nash has put people over and is actually quite amusing with the excellent Alex Shelley and the X-Division matches are usually top draw. Still a long way to go but if they can expand and get out of Florida (for it’s PPV’s) it could be the making of them though they have to be careful, TNA’s initial appeal was with it’s cruiserweights and regardless of Sting, Nash, Steiner, Jarrett it should still be the cruiserweights that matter.
