The only match that I would pay money for is Hogan vs. Flair in a Wheelchair match. If TNA could book this than they'll get my money.

One I haven't seen was the Pat Patterson vs. Sgt Slaughter Street Fight apparently it was a really bloody match. Also i heard alot people say that it was forefather to the more extreme wrestling in say ECW and later in WWE.

The only that looks good to me is the World title match. I hope The Pope wins and continues a feud with Desmond Wolfe for the World Title.

A taped Raw will still beat Impact honestly it's like comparing the attendance of a New York Yankees game to the attendance of a Staten Island Yankees game.

It's amazing to me how that punt can put some people out for weeks, months even, in....I wanna say Batista's case, but for a guy like John Cena, it's just a momentary setback before the finish. Actually, the punt put Cena down before. The only person who has no-sold it is Triple H. Took on at 'Mania 25 and showed up the night after like nothing happened. Well if you remeber SCSA blew up the McMahon-Helmsley Regime trailer and next week on Raw HHH showed up only with a bandaid on his head. HHH=android Also explains why he's so boring. |

{Spoiler}Jack Swagger vs. Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Title was confirmed for the PPV on RAW, as was Triple H vs. Sheamus in a Street Fight. God this almost feels like TNA booked this it's just so stupid! |

Spoiler Randy Orton becomes the WWE WHC at Extreme Rules Nice Jack Swagger push! Which was why it was a stupid move in the first place, if this is how it turns out then i called it from the get go he would be a transitional champion. Honestly even though I hate Jack Swagger I feel after his year of jobbing he was unworthy of being World Champ and is looking to become a transitional champion than will probably be put on Superstars for life or future endevoured. I don't want that I'd just like WWE to make him interesting since he isn't awful in the ring and has had some decent matches and has some promise if they wouldn't book him like crap! Make him a goofy confident heel who thinks he's so great. Hell get him a manager so i don't have to hear that damn lisp all the time! Hell have HBK turn heel and be his manager! But there is no way Orton is losing since he now is over like a second coming of Stone Cold Steve Austin. |

From looking at this Impact all I could do is grunt in displeasure.

I don't see the Goldberg/Terry comparison mostly because Goldberg was being built to defeat Hogan and be the new face of WCW. While Terry is wasting TV time beating Scrubs and holding a belt that could be better used for either Pope or Wolfe to get them over with crowd like the IC Title feud between Rock and Austin. I mean does anyone really see Rob Terry being the face of TNA?

Basically from 1990-1997 WWE was treading water and apart from Diesel, HBK, Hart, Austin and Goldust they had tons of crap and relied on alot of nostalgia (which didn't last long when Savage, Flair, Hogan and Warrior left) and alot of crap gimmicks where their wrestlers all had a second job. I don't know it's kind of hard to take a company seriously if half of their wrestlers had to take up second jobs to make ends meat looking at you IRS (tax agent), Duke Drosse(garbage man, Papa Sango (witch doctor), Jeff jarrett (country singer), The Godwinns (pig/hog farmers) and Issac Yankem (dentist). So if you want to make a list of most pointless wrestlers you can basically put the undercard of WWE circa 1995-1997 and you'd have a huge list. Then explain The Undertaker as a (at first) mortician? Lesser examples are Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake and The Big Bossman(as a correctional officer). Well I did include Jarrett and IRS who I did like and while I do not think they were pointless it didn't make sense that they had second jobs, especially IRS who was tax agent who probably could make more money working for the IRS and not wrestling. and honestly Brutus didn't debut as a hairdresser that happened because of the Piper-Adonis match, honestly Bossman on the surface was dumb why would a correctional officer also be a wrestler? But it worked same with the Undertaker but honestly no one else could have made that work. More I was mocking the overuse of having wrestler having second jobs especially in 1995 it just was bizarre and that made the whole product of that era look cheap. So the moral of the story is if a wrestler is given a pointless gimmick it can work but 95 % of the time it fails and if done to much it will look really bad. |

Stop making WWE booking make sense! Sorry! I won't do it again! Honestly though, half the s*** WWE books DOESN'T make sense, but this is one time that i truly feel that everything was deliberately done to make Swagger's win a shock. And it worked a lot - when you've got internet smarks shocked by the way the booking played out, you know you've done a good job. But if you look back at much of 2009, the signs were all there that they saw something in Swagger and were going to give him a huge push at some point. Just because it's shocking dosn't make it good! To me I was shocked in the sense it made me annoyed and not care about Smackdown. Thats not good especially with the age and health of most of the main event they should push exciting new talent like Kofi, Christian, MVP, Bourne, Miz, Morrison or Punk but they give a dude who has a lateral lisp, who went on an epic losing streak and the only thing that made him cool was his Angle like goofy confidence for a lame serious heel wrestler gimmick? BOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I mean if you want a serious wrestler as champ than they should have just kept the belt on Jericho. Actually if anyone from WWE is reading give the belt back to Jericho! |

How about Iron Sheik as Colonel Mustafa? Especially when he captained that tag team at the 1991 Survivor Series? When a past-his-prime Iron Sheik is the MOST credible person on your team, you have problems. Basically from 1990-1997 WWE was treading water and apart from Diesel, HBK, Hart, Austin and Goldust they had tons of crap and relied on alot of nostalgia (which didn't last long when Savage, Flair, Hogan and Warrior left) and alot of crap gimmicks where their wrestlers all had a second job.

I don't get this push, apart from Bischoff and Hogan geing in love with big dudes. I mean he moves like he's been encased in cement and his moves look awful and technically is the midcard/low-midcard champ. Seriously I'd rather them bring back Ken Patera or that WCW world's strongest man guy than this piece of crap. Can someone tell me what does anyone see in this guy? And whats the odds that he gets inducted to the site eventually?

Honestly it would be funny if Edward Norton hosted Raw than gets attacked in the opening and is replaced by Brad Pitt in Tyler Durden character.

Right now there is almost no one to cheer for who's actually a face. I mean name someone that actually can have a fun compelling match anymore. The only people I care about now is Punk, MVP, Jericho, and maybe Orton but I don't think any of them will came close to be as important as HBK.

Jack Swagger
Seamus
Sgt Slaughter
JBL
I was thinking since Jack Swagger's world championship reign came totally out of left field and wasn't even being pushed and somehow won the MITB match in Botchmania greatness and pinned Jericho after being Speared and is now our World Champion.
JBL breaks up with Faaroq and feuds with Guerrero and after a PPV main event match wins the WWE World Heavyweight Title which seemed like a fluke and goes on to have the longest Title reign a world champion's had in 15 years.
Seamus run the gautlet that was ECW and feuded with mostly jobbers and was made to look like a Snitsky like heel and than gets moved to RAW gets put on Team Miz at Survivor Series and than gets a world Title match and beats John Cena in a Tables match where John Cena slipped and landed through a table to win his first title
Sgt Slaughter comes back to WWF after stints in AWA as a mid-carder and the cartoon shoe GI Joe than turns heel as Iraqi sympathizer and joins with the Iron Shiek in a gimmick that appears like he should have been a Jobber to the stars. But he gets a shot at than World Champion Ultimate Warrior and wins when Randy Savage interferes and than fed to Hogan at Wrestlemania.
So which one seems more random?
