So am I the only one who thinks the WWE is (most likely purposely) missing the boat by not putting him on Smackdown???

[Thing]

Oh shit The Black Limo is in the house! All we need is Thing, bobbystoney and Frank Barone and shit will be on and poppin'!

Has anyone seen JJ? He needs to get in on the festivities.

Thumb up

*still flipping channels on the remote, trying to find GWE Smackdown on the freaking TV*

I think he'll be on there eventually. They pretty much have the ECW guys wrestling on the bigger shows anyways. I'm just happy he's back!

[Sabu]

The timing was definitely weird. Would have gotten a little more buzz if he showed up on RAW. Just have Teddy long come out and introduce the newest member of ECW.

Still... it's a good fit for him on ECW. Re-establishes him with the WWE fans who remember him and introduces him to the newer fans who started watching after he left or vaguely remember him as just another midcard guy.

Gives the ECW brand a more than suitable name to replace Matt Hardy, and he can be involved on both RAW and SmackDown as part of the whole talent exchange thing.

[ozzyrulz777]

I am happy he is back.

[ozzyrulz777]

They need to fire Swagger.

[slash4pres]

Yes, they need to fire him just because a few internet smarks don't like him. How dare they push a guy that actually has wrestling ability!

I look for him to make a few appearences in the next couple of months and then, WHAT A SHOCK! CHRISTIAN DRAFTED TO SMACKDOWN!!! It'll be interesting to see where his character is written in. Will him and Edge pick up again, will he join up with one of the Hardys... lots of angles to be worked there.

They need to fire Swagger.

No, they just need to get him a manager and keep him atleast 5 feet from a mic at all times.

[YYC]

Sticking Christian on ECW is asinine. They missed a golden oppurtunity to involve him in the Edge/Hardy angle. People have been buzzing about that for months and instead...he's on the third-tier show feuding with Jack Swagger for no other reason than Swagger has a lisp and Christian doesn't like it.

[Drunken_Little_Elf]

Swagger has a lisp and Christian doesn't like it.

Smell the buyrates!!!

As reported last week, World Wrestling Entertainment has plans to release a three-disc DVD set on "Macho Man" Randy Savage on Tuesday, June 9, 2009 entitled Macho Madness: The Ultimate Randy Savage Collection. As expected, some within the company are skeptical of WWE releasing a DVD on Savage considering Vince McMahon pulled the plug on the project once before, but the company is legitimately going through with the release this time.

Internally, the feeling is with the state of the economy that this isn't the time to kill projects they believe will make significant money, especially for petty reasons such as McMahon's personal feelings towards Savage.

Another sign indicating the company's change of heart towards Savage, he is featured on the cover of the Best of Saturday Night's Main Event DVD released this week.




ooOOOH YEAH!!

[Subhuman Yeti]

he's on the third-tier show

Christian left TNA for ECW? What a dumbass.

feuding with Jack Swagger for no other reason than Swagger has a lisp and Christian doesn't like it.

...that's just so cleverly booked.

[ozzyrulz777]

I swear to god if TNA sucks tonight I am going to scream.

Get ready to scream then.

Stevie Richards is on TNA as ..... ABYSS's psychatrist. I like it. Not a bad TNA so far.

[nakedmadman]

I was wondering who'd catch that. "Dr. Stevie" being Abyss's theropist. As if between that voice and the pony tail it could be anyone else. It'll be interesting to see how they work him in.

Yes it will and I cannot wait. All and all a decent episode of Impact.

[Subhuman Yeti]

I'd enjoy TNA if the booking didn't suck, if it wasn't ANGLE FUCKING TV every week, if the announcers didn't somehow suck even worse than Lawler & Cole and if the 'knockouts' actually learned to wrestle in Japan instead of that weak American shit they sorta try and sell....



So much of IMPACT was rehashed Russo WCW bullshit...

I was glad when it was over.

As bad as the Knockouts are (and that gauntlet match was just silly)the Divas over on WWE are worse. The TNA women can actually sell a few moves every now and again.

[Sting]

Whats with TNA repeating what happens as soon as its finished? I mean last night for example. The whole Sting/Angle thing. They left the ring and then the idiot announcer replayed the entire thing. Do they think their audience is that stupid they need telling the same thing twice before they understand?

[Drunken_Little_Elf]

Well, the creative team sure is, so I wouldn't doubt it. And if a certain poster who sometimes posts here is any indication, I think the answer is pretty clear.

[BootyDaddy69]

well it definitely boggles the mind as to why WWE would fuck up a golden opportunity to have Christian involved in the Jeff/Matt/Edge saga

Hmmmm, I think Paul London has a chip on his shoulder!!!

Source: Rajah.com

Paul London gave False Count Radio his first post-WWE interview and he wasn't afraid to let loose. Here are some of the highlights of this near two hour interview:

When asked if he was shocked about his WWE release, London immediately said "no", but was shocked that they were still paying him. Also felt it was an "opportune time to part ways."

London strongly disliked his theme music. "I tried to get that s--- changed so many times to some good music," he said. "They kept low-balling my buddy's music." London said he wanted some real music, but WWE officials kept put off talking to his friends about composing a new theme.

London said that he never liked Billy Kidman as a person, but admired his work in WCW "when he was 100 pounds lighter." On how they were put together, London said it was because they have both have dark hair, well-tanned, and like to go on the top rope. "Hey, let's make a tag team out of these guys," London said. London also said he lost respect for Kidman, claiming that he "threw me under the bus to keep himself over with the boys."

"The Albert Einstein of Pro Wrestling" Alex asked London how it was working with the Dudleyz, in which London stated that D-Von was great to work with, but Bubba was cool "maybe five percent of the time." He added: "I'm not saying anything new that he's an a-----."

A caller asks what the reasoning was for him smiling on the day Mr. McMahon "died." London discusses how hard it was not to laugh at the whole thing. "I had no clue what was going on. I had no idea this guy was going to his 'destruction' or 'demise'," London said. London adds they were told just to react to Vince when he came walking down the hallway to the parking lot. "Everyone trying to put on their best acting face, which was a joke," he said. London believes McMahon held a personal vendetta against him from that day forward, even giving Evan Bourne the Shooting Star Press as a result.

A caller asks him what he thinks of Evan Bourne using the shooting star press, to which London replies that "it's ridiculous and it's pretty funny." London also quips, "So I guess he (McMahon) wanted a lackluster Shooting Star." He also joked that someone in creative probably watched the "Bourne" movie trilogy and decided it would be a good idea to give Matt Sydal the Evan Bourne name. London says he's half his weight and looks like "Circus of gay." London adds Bourne means "carried" if you look it up in the dictionary.

London says that Rob Van Dam would be his dream opponent, as he not only idolizes the wrestler, but also the person.

London starts ranting on Matt Hardy during a discussion of the 2006 Armageddon featuring London & Kendrick vs. William Regal & Dave Taylor vs. MNM vs. the Hardy Boys in a ladder match. "All I remember was that I hate Matt Hardy," London said on the False Count radio show. "I think he's a piece of s---. And I was trying to go into that (match) with as much of a professional mindset as possible without trying to murder this person. I think he's a coward."

London then recalls a story regarding his perspective on Hardy as he once told him on him in catering, as if the situation were from a high school cafeteria. "I said a cuss word in catering and he actually raised his hand and told on me," London said.

London rants on Hardy more: "The thing with Matt is no respect. Just a rotten person. He tries to pull the wool over people's eyes and put himself over online, but he's the definition of a mark for himself. I just don't like the guy. He's done some things to try to sabotage my career, without going into detail, but (he is) the definition of a coward."

On the other hand, London's favorite match of his career was against his brother Jeff at a house show in Mexico "that was never seen." "Jeff and I went out there on the last day (of the tour) and stole the show," London said. "Jeff's the cool one and Matt's the fat, ugly one who carries a chip on his shoulder because his brother is more popular than him," London claimed.

London is asked if he plans on training wrestlers, to which London said he would like to in the future.

Paul London commented on Brian Kendrick and their tag team work on Smackdown. He said said he understands why they were split up because Kendrick didn't want to be associated with his out-spoken nature and be dragged down by it. He's happy for him on SmackDown, but sadly sees Kendrick's singles push as a vehicle for getting over Ezekiel Jackson. "Haven't always seen eye-to-eye, but that's what made us a dynamic unit," London said. "I wish him success. I'm sorry to see his push has been replaced by Casper, but I'm sure he's not surprised. It really seemed like a vehicle to get over (Ezekiel) Jackson." London has trouble remembering Jackson's first name.

London addressed online rumors of going to TNA as the Suicide video game character, saying they're "not true." London said he didn't even know about the character, and that he has not been in contact with TNA. London jokingly says he wants to come into TNA as "Life", so Suicide will have a feud.

London is then asked about his relationship with former WWE Diva Ashley Massaro. He said "relationships end" and they were "under such a strangehold schedule that is the wrestling business."

London continued: "Relationships are very difficult. She's an extremely nice girl, good head on her shoulders, and has massive amount of potential, but life can be schedule. I have no ill-feelings whatsoever. People grow and do what they have to do."

They then go into word association on the likes of John Cena, Randy Orton and Triple H. Regarding John Cena, London called him the "hardest-working person in the business." He starts laughing hard after recalling watching the the trailer for "12 Rounds" where Cena plays a cop.

On Randy Orton, he said he's a "super cool guy" and "probably the most talented guy they have by far."

On the other hand, London isn't too fond of Triple H as he calls him the complete opposite of what he said about Orton. "If I had to guess, I would guess that he's not the most honest guy, a bit of a coward, and when I say coward, I mean someone who might secretly set something up, and then blame it someone else," London said.

When it comes to Vince McMahon, London slowly said: "Darkness. Black. All things negative. Not really in tune with the audience. Someone who has cemented himself in his own ways regardless of whether they're beneficial for business. Fascist."

JT Evans asks London what the fans can expect in his PWG debut, which London replies "an uncensored, unrestrained spirit...the fans can look forward to honesty".
