It just saddened me last week when Jericho was put in that match because we all knew in NO way was Jericho going to be gone from RAW. He's the best heel they've got.

To be honest I'm surprised actually - I'd read he was going to fued with Edge when Edge returns (as a babyface), so figured this was been done to get him back on SmackDown for when the fued starts.

Finally seen both of the head-to-head shows from last week - TNA definitely edged it IMO.

Raw with Hart was great (though without him it would have just been a run-of-the-mill show for me), but everyone with TNA clearly threw all they had into the show, e.g. the Style v Angle match, which was better then any WWE match I've seen since Taker v HBK at Mania.
Big up to TNA, a lot of drama and intrigue I've not felt with WWE for a long time!!

styles vs angle was a great match fully enjoyed it best i have seen in tna for some time match of the year so far for them

they pulled out everything into last week and it payed off big time

The WWE Championship match for the Rumble will be Shamus vs Orton.

It's just a shame that WWE's idea of doing something different for number 1 contender match involves Cena Vs Orton MMMXVIII with Kofi Kingston thrown in as a random 3rd guy, simply so neither Cena or Orton has to get pinned

How utterly shambolic was TNA's big show with Hogan? Xpac, a 26 stone scott hall and a 68 year old Kevin Nash. Compare that to the RAW show with Bret Hart and you can see why TNA is a nothing wrestling federation

None of whom contested the main event.



Also that 'nothing federation' had it's highest ever ratings, and is doing another UK arena tour in a few weeks.

But this particular show had nothing to do with the main event in the same way Raw never. Interesting to note that TNAs highest ever rating was only for the 15 minute Hogan segment. After that the ratings plummeted

No they didn't, they levelled out at 2million which is still very good.



Oh, and as TNA has Tara I really don't see how you have an arguement.

ODB

Nash has been in TNA for years now and he works well for them, he's not above putting over other guys and he's done a lot of out of ring sutff as well. His commisioner for the night spot a few weeks ago was good IMO.

Damn straight!

Hey for any long-time fans of the WWF, Ludvig Borga passed away yesterday.

so I heard, shame he cant have been that old

47 according to The Sun's website.

Remember his WWF days (1993-94 approx), they presented him in the 'foreign monster heel' role (e.g. similar to Koslov), did a pretty good job from what I remember.

shame it didnt last

Fit!!!

My only problem with Kelly Kelly is her eyes don't seem to be open

TNA is launching an internet service to show the PPV's live to the UK, unfortunately this looks like the PPV's won't be shown for free on Wednesdays on Bravo 2 anymore. The price is said to be £10.50 per PPV or there will be a season pass, or free the next day on BT Vision (but who has that). £10.50 is too much in my opinion for an internet stream in the early hours, if they had made it £5 I would have been tempted to pay to legally watch.

Generation Me (formerly The Young Bucks) vs MCMG on iMPACT! just now was great, 2 very talented (and bloody fast) teams.

This week I received my ticket for the TNA show at Manchester Evening News Arena on Friday 29th January, should be a great show.

TNA house show attendance is up since Hogan's appearance, as are merchandise sales at live events. iMPACT! in America this week received a 1.3 cable rating.

Lost all respect for her now she has had a Carlise shirt on. I would have to say no now

Looking forward to it too mate.



Hey what's the score with Lashley though?!

I.e. I got the impression on the 4th January Impact that he'd quit with immediate effect?

The whole Lashley wanting out of TNA thing is a storyline. They're using it as a base for a heel turn.

It had been rumoured and it's now true that TNA have decided to stop using the 6 sided ring. A 4 sided ring is set up for Genesis tonight. TNA did use a 4 sided ring when they first started in 2002, but switched to 6 sides when iMPACT! made it's debut in 2004.
