nothing new there then

Only in that it turns them from a group of outsiders into lackies for an already established star and thus kills any momentum they had as a heel faction

are you surprised dude

They were dangerously over. Can't have that.

not at all. now all they need to do is turn up at the ppv sunday after cena retains the title, they attack him 7 on 1 and cena beats them all. thus the latest line of new stars in wwe is successfully buried before they have a chance to take anyones spots

think the mizz is a fine example on a break out star its taken him a good few years but now he is a top in ring star imo

thing is, he's worked hard on his ring work but he's god further on than say, morrison who has trod roughly a similar path on his mic and promo work, he's a very good talker.

Good on him though, there's not many left from the old tough enough series, i think it looks a bit bad that skip sheffield(ryan reeves) is still flirting with FCW considering he was in the tough enough back in 2004.

IIRC Tough Enough has produced:

Miz
Morrison
Skip Sheffield
Matt Morgan
Josh Matthews

ODB and The Boogeyman also had try outs for it.

Been watching some old vids on youtube. Some of the pops that Stone Cold and the rock used to get would have even drowned out the noise made by those horns at the world cup. You dont hear pops like that anymore. Damn PG era.

Been watching a lot of TNA recently and I have to say, yes its full of old timers, but the storylines are interesting. 1000 x more interesting than the WWE storylines and I use that term loosely for the WWE.

I hope Jay Lethal stays in TNA as he has all the tools required. I feel WWE would just ruin him and then bury him given they dont know how to use talent. I mean, look at Christian. Probably the best all round performer they have, one who is totally over with the fans and someone who everyone loves backstage, but they just bury him apart from the ECW title

=#8000FFThat has nothing to do with PG, that's to do with Wrestling isn't as popular and the Wrestlers themselves aren't as popular.





=#8000FFGo see a Doctor, quickly, TNA's storylines are washed up WCW stories from the bad days and are embarrassing to watch, the NXT angle now is better then ANYTHING TNA has ever done, TNA ruin their talent in no time....MCMG 2 years ago got the biggest pops in the company, then they started jobbing them, Judas Mesias had the makings of a top heel...they ruined him in 1 move.



=#8000FF"Don't know how to use talent"? Christian is putting over the younger talent...at HIS request, Sheamus, Swagger & the NXT rookies are getting good pushes, the Miz is getting a push just look at him a year ago and look at him now.

Christian is also not "totally over" there's at least 20 performers more over then him.

Anyone seen Raw last night?

Hart is no longer GM after he didn't show at Fatal Fourway

The "Former NXT guys", which is how they're being addressed until someone comes up with a better name, now have contracts

And a slight tease at a Shemus face turn

Oh, and the new GM is someone who emails his ideas in.
Which is only fair as the creative team at WWE have been phoning it in for the last few years

The Sheamus turn tease was great, had everyone in the stream i was watching willing him to do it

"I cant accept this title... *tease face turn* But I will anyway!

"



Some quite funny GM ideas popped up, including the Rock, SCSA, Regal, Mae Young, Marty Jannetty, Vince and Michael Jackson.

Jim Cornette would be my choice.

(no chance in hell of it happening though unfortunately!

).

HHH, telling you now.

Well he does already run the show backstage, so I guess him doing it on stage would kinda make sense.





In all seriousness, what about HBK?

Can't believe the bumps Vince took last night - clearly the NXT thing is a major angle that they're desperate to get over.

Yeah, but the story they're telling has more an air of "what will happen next?" rather than it being planned out.

for example; vince was behind the nxt guys running wild and demanding contracts. hmmmm, why didn't he just give them contracts from the off?

there's several other questionable holes in this plot. which is a shame cos i think this idea could be a great springboard to get over some new talent and freshen up wwe's product

G'wan, how many of you googled the Maryse thing after the PPV ?

Reason Bret wasn't on Raw was because he's getting married. Sounds like he will be back again though at somepoint.

didn't google it, but i thought i saw it at the time, and i've replayed it on sky+ a couple of times, the screen ca that lop linked to was a bit .

bit allround really.

Hey for anyone in the Hull area, All-Star Wrestling (the UK's biggest / longest-running promotion) are back at City Hall in October.

It was kind of forced in my face on pwpix. Still ended up thinking "all that fuss for a flap", must be my age.

Just been watching some of those videos Matt Hardy posts on youtube. Anyone who believes Brett is his his own biggest fan really should watch these, they're hilarious

Apparently Michelle McCool and the Undertaker are engaged.

Do you think he rolled his eyes to the back of his head when he got down on one knee?

=#8040FFThey got married at the weekend
