Agreed. Watching Hogan and Flair try to wrestle was brutal.

Agree again.....wow. I flipped over to TNA at the end of RAW (I had been watching it intermittently before that), and all I see is a bloody Hogan, a bloody Flair, etc. It was almost sad to see. And I am kind of happy I didn't see Hall and Nash.....

I am getting so tired of Cena vs. Batista though....or Cena vs. anyone for that matter

Is Stephanie still writing for the WWE? That's been the problem for many years.

Yeah...she just needs to put down the pen and take off her clothes

I haven't seen her for a while. Didn't she have another kid?

I'd agree with you before she started smacking around Triple H.

Thought the same thing as I was typing....last time I saw her on TV was like a year or two ago, and she was pretty smoking.

Back in 2003, I went to a PBR event at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. No joke, just as I sit down, the entire McMahon family sits down in front of me. I actually told Vince, "Sorry to bother you, but just wanted to let you know that you have a great product and we are huge fans". He was actually quite cool...must have been in a good mood that day. Stephanie was smoking hot then.

Totally. The Jeff Hardy run-in does nothing for me either. We all know he's just lurking around in TNA until his legal issues are over and he decides he's ready to start traveling with WWE again. And seriously, what's the deal with him? Is he only going to show up for 30 seconds every time they have a 'big' show? I'm going to watch the whole show today and try to give it a fair review, but from what I saw I'm dreading even watching it. It looks like late 90's Nitro all over again.

Lets be honest...he's probably that way to all the fans. Without the fans, he is just some steroid **** with a weird walk.

haha when he walked down to the ring last night I just did a facepalm. He looks like Lou Ferrigno for God's sake

Yes. Horrible.

The Wrestlemania Card doesn't even interest me. Maybe the Money in the Bank card...I'd like to see Evan Bourne win it. They also need to make some faces into heels and vice versa. They are doing it with Orton which is the wrong guy to do it with. They need to make Jericho into a face, Edge back into a heel.

Cena, Batista, Triple H championship circle bores me. Whatever happened to Hogan vs. Warrior type of main events at WM?

The chef where I used to work once worked at the Igloo... he told me about a run-in a co-worker had with Mr. McMahon... He simply said "hello, Mr. MchMahon" or something like that and the response he got was "Who the *pizza* are you to talk to me?"

[shafnutz05]

I know....I feel like the last five years it has been any number of combinations of Cena/Batista/HHH

[SolidSnake]

Wrestlemania is going to be horrible.

Kind of a surprising statement to me. Top to bottom this looks to be one of the better WrestleMania's in a while, at least from an actual wrestling standpoint.

HBK/Taker II won't be as good as last year, but will still be great and has been fantastically built up as the main event.
Edge/Jericho and Punk/Mysterio will steal the show.
MITB will be entertaining as always.
McMahon/Hart will be short and entertaining and serve its purpose.
The tag team match should be decent with Miz and Morrison involved.
HHH/Sheamus I couldn't care less about.
As far as Cena/Batista.......I don't know. I've always been on the 'I'm sick of anything Cena/Orton/HHH/Batista' mindset lately, but for some reason I actually am somewhat interested in this match. The buildup has been decent.

Are they really going to go in with Kofi and McIntyre not having matches? Are they going to have those two face each other for the IC Title somehow? I don't see how you can't have either of those 2 not on the card. Also, what the heck are they doing with Orton and Legacy? They've given us every possible match combo in the last 3 weeks on Raw.

LOL, I almost think I'd be more happier if he reacted to me like that than if he was nice or something.

You'll probably see it on TNA in a few weeks.

Steve do you know of any places in the Philly area that show Wrestlemania? I thought the Fox and the Hound in King of Prussia showed it at one time

Not sure, I usually drive back to Pittsburgh to watch it with my buddies from home every year so I've never tried to find anywhere in the Philly area.

The card is the strongest it's been in years.

The only matches that seem thrown together at the last minute are HHH/Shemus and the tag team match. Hopefully the tag match will lead to a feud with Miz and Morrison.

They need to make Jericho into a face, Edge back into a heel.

I agree that Edge needs to be a heel but Jericho has gone on record saying he will never be a face again. He shouldn't either, he's perfect as a smarmy heel.

[steve784]

OK I watched TNA from last night, and I'm not watching it again. Sorry.

[Kovy27]

I agree that Edge needs to be a heel but Jericho has gone on record saying he will never be a face again. He shouldn't either, he's perfect as a smarmy heel.

They also need to merge both shows again. The Raw/Smackdown crap is annoying because you have a certain 4... HHH, Cena, Batista, and Orton who always seem to have the title on Raw. Smackdown seems to be UT, Edge, Jericho.

Mix it up. If you merge the shows again and get rid of one of the Championship Belts, it makes it competitive again. They also need to have more title changes on the Live shows. They also need to have more tag teams.

Agree on everything except changing the title more on the live shows.......I thought that was something they started doing way too much a few years ago, and am glad to see longer reigns starting to come back (well, generally speaking at least). That way when there is a title change on live TV it is HUGE. One of my favorites was CM Punk cashing in his first MITB briefcase a couple years ago......that came out of nowhere.

I actually like the different brands. If all the stars were on one show, there would be no mid-carders. It'd be all about the main event guys. The brand distinction allows for younger guys to make a name for themselves, like the Miz, Kofi, Legacy. Plus, it means RAW can be silly and do its guest host thing, while Smackdown can focus on good wrestling.

Should TNA actually threaten the WWE ratings, you'll likely see more title changes on live shows. Right now, the live shows are nothing more than commercials for PPVs. There's no reason to give away something for free if you can get people to pay 40 bucks to see it on PPV.

My point about Wrestlemania is that its gonna be so predictable. I think that Bret "faked" his broken leg and once the match starts with Vince he's gonna throw down his crutches and that will be like he "screwed" Vince. You know Bret will ride off into the sunset with a win. I figure HBK will win, no way he will retire. They been talking about ending the streak forever now anyways. Edge will beat Jericho to back up the "whoever wins the rumble, goes on to Wrestlemania and wins the title" stats.

I figure Sheamus will beat HHH, he was just world champ and they are good friends HHH will job for him. They won't have Sheamus pushed now to mid card status. I could see maybe Batista beating Cena in order to continue their feud but that's about it. I think this WM is very predictable compared to other's past.
