That segment with Piper and Vince was certainly something.

The brawl between Orton and Kofi was phenomenal. Kofi has been tearing it up the past month. I hope they strap the rocket on his back and let him go.
I liked the main event too. It had a really fun pace. The random tombstone on Cena made me laugh.

If they cut what they do now in half, and give their guys more time in the ring and such, it'd be a great alternative to WWE...it is improving at least, that is how I feel. The younger guys are getting their chance...McGuinness in a high profile match with Angle, the TNA Title match between Joe/Daniels/AJ, this is what TNA should be doing...
I just went over their roster for the hell of it, only 8 of their wrestlers didn't appear on last nights show. 8 out of 60 wrestlers/personalities. So they fit 52+ wrestlers/personalities into two hours. Absurd when you think about it. Do 52 guys even show up on Raw, ECW, and SD combined?
I guess it's better than 5 DX segments and 4 Cena segments on Raw though...

Definitely too many old folks in TNA. I love Raven, but... it's over. Neidhart... go away, please. Franchise... you too. Actually, I think Shane Douglas has gone. Having anyone job to Neidhart is embarrassing. He doesn't... still got it. And neither does Hogan. His segment had the lowest rating of the show. They don't need him. Otoh... Rob Van Dam said he's considering signing with TNA because of Hogan's presence. If he "still has it", that's a big thing for TNA. Even with all their mistakes, TNA has outstanding talent and puts on entertaining shows. If they replaced Russo and Ferarro (sp?) with Jim Cornette, they'd be that much better.

Kofi is getting a big push. I hope they drift away from teh Jamacian thing more. My biggest issue with the guy was/is his gimmick. But it was def the highlight I think of RAW last night. Well besides hearing Shiek scream about Hogan. That is always good for a laugh.  |

I read about it but have yet to see him. Heard he won by a devistating body slam. Someone tell him those days are over?
Im waiting next week for Brutus the Barber or is it the Disciple haha to win a match using an Inverted Atomic Drop. |

fake football teams? there is no discussion of football in this particular forum. if there was, it would be about the UFL, which is an actual sport, wheras wrestling is a live soap opera with greased men beating eachother.
anyway, by fake wrestling, i mean non-greco/roman wrestling.
Wrestling is a scripted adventure, whose developments are planned months ahead of time in order to maximize marketing on major 'plots'. They air a couple shows a week as a tease in order to push their $40/month Pay Per View specials.
It is NOT a "pro sport", which is why I asked why it was in this forum. |

Pro wrestling is in this forum because we want it to be.
And thats the bottom line, cause Stone Cold said so. |

Maybe he can tag up with Hornswaggle and take on DX in the main event.
Now that would be entertaining  |

They should have Ray Lewis to host the show not Mini Me, I would love to see Ray Lewis get into the ring with John Cena. |

I loved Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies. Hosting Raw, not so much. And gag me with the inevitable Hornswaggle/Mini-Me segment.

Holy Crap Kofi just beat Punk and Orton in 6 seconds to win the Survivor Series match. I am SO GLAD to see him getting a major push.
