So Daniels returns to ROH and starts the TNA invasion by ROH?
TNA is rehashing everything else from the 90's... why not redo the ECW invasion..

I don't think it was the physical limitations of Bret and Vince that ruined the match, I think it was the fact that the Lloyds of London dictated what can and can not take place in the match. Bret wasn't allowed to be put on a hold or do anything overly physical, or else he would have been sued for millions and millions of dollars. So the match was what it was. I'd be interested to know where you got this information. I'm not questioning you, and wouldn't be the least bit surprised by any of it. I'm just interested in reading it. Bret got a settlement from Lloyds after he retired. Those things don't exactly say "Here's 10 million dollars... but if you want to go wrestle again, feel free."

I wish the Abyss/Jarrett segment was the go home segment to the PPV. Hardy's music had an awesome atmosphere to the promo.
I missed the first 30 minutes cuz my DVR needs some cleaning, but the rest was pretty solid.

Bret and Shawn possibly having their last match at Mania is creating an odd inversed effect in terms of retirement. You had Hogan/Flair in the 80s, Hart/Michaels as the new generation, and Rock/Austin in the attitude era. Rock/Austin basically finished at the same time in 03/04 Hart/Michaels may be done with their in ring careers. And Hogan/Flair are still going at it in matches. Crazy business. Hmm...great observation.

I'm a huge fan of this ending promo with Abyss and Jarrett....
Hell, Hardy's music playing in the background reminds me of Bill and Ted traveling to the society of the future... That had one awesome feeling to it at the end there.

The thing I like about it is it's not nu-metal or nu-metal's evolved form.
I don't specifically like the song, but I think it works well for Hardy who obviously enjoys coming out to his own music. The same with Van Dam.. don't like the song, but it works well for the character and it's completely different from the palm muted guitar driven chugs of of most WWE themes..

I don't remember the West Hollywood Blondes being that homophobic or anything, just that the network didn't like it. Anyway, I'm watching Raw, so I checked out his entrance and I like it. He reminds me of Goldust when he started out in 1996. Sex will always be a controversial subject in society, and I think OJ's gimmick is intriquing, especially since a bi-sexual gimmick has never been done before. I've been listening to Bill Behrens talk about the gimmick and how it maybe negative for OJ's career and there may not be too many places to go. However, I think the way the gimmick has been presented so far is a good take off of the many Adrian Street/Goldust type characters in the past. The only reason the West Hollywood Blondes failed was because of the chants of the British word for a cigarette and TNT not wanting those chants on the air during the time when TNT was going extremely family friendly.

I find it incredibly weird that Bret and Shawn's final match comes on the same night yet it was not against each other. 13 years ago, I would've put all my money on that.

As long as none of the wrestlers do it... I'm fine with it. Only trained pro's.
If they put a wrestler up there to do it.. really not cool.

If Bret takes Vince with a huge beating, with Vince tapping to the Sharp Shooter like a little girl...
Yes, the angle will provide some sort of closure...

I think the word was they get some cut or something. Not sure, though. They get to use a ridiculously expensive soundstage and have exposure at one of the most traveled amusement parks... If anything, they're paying Universal.

Like someone said, it sounds like crap but it works well for the live crowds 'cuz they get quite into it. And that's really what matters most. True, like a fair amount of stuff, it works better live than on it's own. Imagine that new RVD music at lockdown, a whole arena singing 'Rob Van Dam!' to the music as he comes out. Agreed but imagine how when crowd start going the "WHOLE f***ING SHOW" versus the "Whole F'N Show"... the censorship will get extremely annoying on Spike.

Probably, but the guy was still a dopehead. He made the right decision not coming back until he was clean and Jesusfied.

Yeah the crowd singing along to it seems to be the whole point of it.
Not a big fan, but it creates that so it's fine with me.

Yeah.. while it's somewhat athletically impressive, as soon as they start taking bumps on the upper back and doing flips, you just have to wonder where the f*** their parents are.

Ive missed RVD matches. I know a LOT of people have a beef with his style, but dammit if that guy isnt exciting to me. I'm with you on that.

Well, that certainly blew Raw's "main event" out of the water. Doubt the ratings will reflect it though. Eventually they will when people start hearing about missing out on matches like that as the main event. That show was just all around solid.
