Whoa, wait to go out on a limb there.
Next thing you know you'll be saying that the sun is going to rise tomorrow and you'll make a post first thing Wednesday saying "ECW was alright, now I'll go back to playing my X-Box cause I really have no fucking life."

I thought that was lame too. But every preview would have made people tune out if they spread them out throughout the show.
That card for Sunday still just doesn't excite me. I got offers for $9 tickets, which means I could probably find free ones at the venue, but I'm still not interested.

Shane McMahon posted the following statement on WWE.com:
It is with great sadness that I announce my resignation from the WWE, effective January 1, 2010.
I have never even considered a future outside the walls of the WWE. However, sometimes life takes an unexpected turn and while it is the most difficult decision I have ever made, it is time for me to move on.
First and foremost, I would like to thank my father for the incredible education working with him has provided and for giving me the opportunity to play a role in building WWE into the global phenomenon that it is today. I am extremely proud to have been the 4th generation in this business, and I am grateful for everyday I was able to work along side not only my own, but the entire WWE family.
Thank you to all of the WWE Superstars both past and present for your passion, pride and dedication. You are truly the engine of the organization and it has been a pleasure to work with, learn from and get to know all of you. Thank you for the privilege of sharing the stage with you and for allowing me to become but a momentary member of your elite brotherhood. I have so much appreciation for the many sacrifices you endure, both physically and personally, to make this business the success that it is. The respect I have for each of you is immeasurable.
Finally, there are no words to express my gratitude to WWE fans the world over for supporting this company through good times and bad and for your unbridled passion that fuels the Superstars’ performances. I am profoundly grateful to have been able to entertain you both in front of the camera and from behind the scenes. You are the greatest fans in the world.
I will always love this business and will remain a fan forever.

Shane
You just know he has be setting up an MMA organisation. This is great news. With WWE level money, production, and promotion, and having bargaining power with the networks, we could be seeing great MMA for free. The UFC needs the competition in the US, and a McMahon is perfect. Also, they have close ties to Donald Trump who has also had his eye on funding/creating an MMA org. If this happens, this is win win for everyone.
Good fpr Shane.
I fucking HATE seeing him on camera, in angles and working matches.
His workrate is a fucking joke, he's shitty on the mic and even his spotfests suck balls.
That said, too fucking bad he's leaving the WWE and not Steph.
She fucking sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Afraid that the people might ask for a little more than the shit they get..."
HHH, Show, Shawn left vs Y2J...Big Show turns on one them causing Y2J to get the win...then a feud with DX vs Y2Jand Big Show...in the end the NWO squashes another team
Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"
I read TNA only sold 850 tix for Bound For Glory.WTF?

Results by TNAWrestlingNews.com
TNA Bound For Glory Opener:
We get a nice video package highlighting the big matches heading into Bound For Glory. We also get a couple of interviews from some of the big players in some of the bigger matches from tonight.
Zakk Wylde is ringside, he shreds on his guitar for a bit before breaking out into a riff-y version of the National Anthem.
Ultimate X Match for the X Division Championship
The Motor City Machine Guns are out first, they are there to replace the Pope D'Angelo Dinero who had to pull out of the event due to a family emergency. Suicide is out next, and this crowd is really hot right out of the gate.
Homicide is out next, to a ton of love from the crowd. Daniels is the fifth man to enter the ring, and this crowd loves all of these X division guys. Amazing Red is the last man out to the ring, with Don West in tow.
This one is on as soon as the bell rings, and since it will be difficult to cover, please, as always, bear with me. Red and Daniels have a nice exchange where Red sends Daniels to the floor with a headscissors. Homicide follows out soon after with a dive through the ropes. Suicide hits Red with a Finlay roll before jumping outside on top of Homicide. Sabin, not to be outdone, dives through the middle of the ropes onto the men outside. Red tries but Daniels catches him, Red instead hits a top rope hurricarana to the outside that sends Daniels into all the other competitors.
Red tries for the title, but the Guns catch him and use a giant swing/dropkick combo to take Red out. Homicide tries to the title while Daniels gets wrapped up with the Guns. Homicide gets almost the entire way to the title before Suicide does a springboard jump to get up to pull Homicide down to the mat.
The Guns continue to use their double team advantage, hitting Daniels with a doomsday missile dropkick. Red tries for the title, but he too falls victim to the Guns when they try for their sliced bread/powerbomb combo. Red is able to fight his way out with a hurricarana, and the Guns teamwork breaks down a little bit. Suicide dives into the ring out of nowhere and now everyone but the Guns are in the ring.
Homicide again gets up to the rope structure, but Daniels pulls him down by the foot, straight into a Death Valley Driver. Red is next to go for the title, but he changes his mind when he sees Suicide coming closer. Red tries again for the title but Suicide connects with a springboard dropkick to take him down.
Daniels makes his way toward the title, as does Sabin. Both men kick it out while holding onto the ropes before falling onto their feet. Sabin connects with a DDT on Daniels. Shelley runs right into a lariat from Homicide. Homicide tries for the Gringo killer, but Daniels fights out.
Red goes up for the title again but Suicide catches him. Red and Sabin hit some sort of top rope double team maneuver on Suicide, who gets launched into Daniels. Shelley comes off the top rope toward Homicide, but Homicide catches him in a big suplex. Red hits a standing shooting star on Homicide. Suicide and Sabin fight up to the top rope where Suicide hits a big time suplex that sets Daniels up to hit the BME.
Daniels, Suicide and Red climb up the metal structure out to the middle of the X where they tease a suplex on top of the structure. Daniels slips himself through the scaffolding on top of the title belt, but so does Suicide. Suicide pulls Daniels down from the ropes and it ends in a nasty fall. The Guns go for the title and Sabin is close when Red drops down from the metal scaffolding and grabs the title.
Winner and STILL X Division Champion: The Amazing Red

TNA Knockout Tag Team Title Match
Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky vs. Sarita and Taylor Wilde
Lacey kisses the referee so that she'll be allowed to stay at ringside, but Hebner is quick to come out. Von Erich kisses Hebner, but Hebner still throws her out, which causes TBP to throw a fit.

Sarita and Wilde utilize quick tags and some good double team work to isolate Sky from her corner, until Sky connects with a big lariat and makes the tag to Rayne. Sky goes for a monkey flip, but she gets thrown away and hit with a DDT instead and both women are down.
Both women make the tag at the same time and Wilde comes in and cleans house on Rayne. Sarita hits Sky with a nasty missile dropkick to the face. Wilde and Sarita hit their German suplex/superkick combo on Rayne and they get the pin.

Sounds about right. I said a month ago I kept getting offers for tickets under 10 bucks and just wasn't interested. They ran the show in about the smallest place they could pass off as an "arena" on TV in the L.A./OC area.

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only person that thinks Orton is BORING..
I have argued with VA_Rocker over that very fact..
He's one of the top stars and a main event player for the next ten years. I don't get how he is boring? His gimmick is a viper,what would you like him to do when he cuts his promos? Jump up and down? He is a top heel and will eventually have a huge face turn if done correctly. RKO has come a long way since those RNN updates a few years back. Vince loves this kid and unless he fucks up with wellness,expect his push to continue. Is he even 30 yet?

OMG come on Queen!!!! Just because he don't hide behind a mask, or collect social security, you don't like him. There is nothing any more boring than that old guy whose big move is rolling his eyes back in his head. What a great promo that is!!!
Orton is definately the face of the future! He plays his character just about perfect. He is very good on the mike, and his in ring skills are incredible. I will admit he over plays some of the facial expressions from time to time. I hope they leave him as a heel and don't try to make him the next Stone Cold. There are alot of other guys in that dressing room that should be taking notes from Orton.
Personally I think he makes a great champion!!!!
Seriously?
John Morrison does not wear a mask, and certainly doesn't collect SSI.. yet..
Orton hasn't even mastered the 5 basic ring skills..
he's as exciting as watching grass grow out of shit and as skilled as the bull that plopped it there!
Facial Expressions?
Ya mean THIS ONE?
or THIS one..
Or maybe you meant THIS
