Botchamania 206 out earlier this week, featuring Brock Lesnar.

"You gave Fozzy a bad name! He's the best muppet"

wonder when the show will be back?

Heyman's bloody good. On his 2nd night back he's streets ahead of anyone else on the mic.

Heyman for Raw and Smackdown GM

Yes please. Laryngitis is boring me immensely. No matter how hard he tries, he will never be able to be "McMahon-esque".

No doubt he will beat Cena at the PPV after Lesnar interferes.

Thing is, Laurinitis worked on RAW this week. His feud with Cena has got Cena so over with the crowd it's untrue. He actually cut a decent promo did Cena too!

I thought Cenas promo was awful. He went back to the goofy persona that is so annoying.

This was 2 weeks after Laurinitis attacked him from behind and hit him with a steel chair, yet Cena sold no emotion. He should have been fuming and angry to sell that he can't wait to get his hands on Johnny boy.

laurinitis is so 'wooden' on the mic, (couldnt think of a better figure of speech before anyone comments). can only do the one expression.

heyman as GM with a team of goons such as lesnar would be awesome.

the teddy long storyline atm is just so stupid as well

It has to be said that WWE has found someone so dislike-able who won't be cheered when he's up against Cena. That's an achievement.

Heyman is from a different time, a time before there were script writers and guys actually had to come up with their own promos.

Replace Lesnar with Big Show and I think you are right.

I think one of them, if not both, will have some kind of impact. After all, they are not "technically" working for the company at the moment. It seemed to click when there was a big deal made of "any WWE wrestler cannot interfere".

Raw is getting a permanent 3rd hour starting from July 23rd

They struggle to fill 2 hours at the minute.....

30 minutes of the new hour will be Laryngitis f****** up on the mic some more and the other 30 minutes will be Brodus Clay's "extended intro".

I'd like the 3rd hour to be Michael Cole trying to decide whether he is actually a heel or a face. Either way, he annoys the s*** out of me.

On a strange note, in his new shoot Val Venis is wearing a Rhinos shirt.

TNA sign Brooke Hogan who will help wrestlers to develop their characters, help with backstage promos and act as a musical consultant.

The only reason I can't see it being Lesnar is because they only have 30 live dates for him too work and they want him at WM they have already blasted through 5 so I doubt they will waste 1 on a run in!
Well at least if they had any brains they wouldn't.

It's big show, why xdo you think he's been fired.


You know, ideally, if you wanted to get best use out of lesmar, I'd have him come back every big ppv and destroy all the top faces, generally wreck the place and end up having punk face off with him at wrestlemania, therefore really REALLY making punk a full on superstar.


Well, as much as you can be without a win over triple h

From May 31st Impact Wrestling is starting 1 hour earlier and is going live.

The shows seem to have improved since Russo went, and switching to live instead of taping 2/3 shows over a couple of days takes out spoilers, plus there will be more energy in the shows as that is the nature of live TV. Now they just need to get out of the Impact Zone more often.

I thought Brooke Hogan denied being signed by TNA?

RAW moving to three hours is interesting - could it signal the beginning of the end for Smackdown! and the era of supershows? And dare I say one champion!

Jim Cornette made referrence to nepotism in a shoot interview about how it destroys the wrestling business and boy would he be right here.

What an utter joke. I never thought I should say this about someone I respected and almost idolised as a child, but Hulk Hogan needs to just f**k off from the wrestling business - you're not a big draw anymore and you don't know how to run a company, so TNA really doesn't need you IMO. Ric Flair I would still keep though just for comedy value and blood.




Oh and the 'sick' smilie wasn't a reference to Brooke Hogan personally (as obviously she is physically pretty lovely

), but I'm sickened at the thought of her telling talented wrestlers with potential how to develop their characters. Let the wrestlers do that themselves with input and unscripted promos I say.

And the end of the Cena bling belt?!

Have you got tickets for the next tour mate?

Doing Manchester again myself, had nothing but an enjoyable and fun time at each of the 4 TNA live events I've seen there, so although I admittedly often forget to tune in to Challenge it was still a no-brainer when tickets went on sale.

Yeah I'm going Manchester in the same row (lower tier row G) again, received my ticket already.

The viewing figures on Challenge are going well, across the Sunday 9pm and Tuesday 10pm showings well over 300,000 are watching on average.
