When did Edge get injured? Cos I'm watching raw right now and he seems fine!

[rossmac1987]

raw was taped last sunday, because wwe are on tour in oz right now.

smackdown might seriously suffer without edge as there is a serious lack of main event heels on their roster.

realistically there is - Y2J and CM Punk (not even fully turned yet),

i bet they wish they hadn't drafted shelton to ecw now

Not just main even heels.... the faces too.

Jeff hardy is effectively leaving the company within a matter of weeks once his contract expires. Plus Matt Hardy has gone into surgery on his arm and will be out for a month or two.

That basically leaves SD with Jericho, Punk, Rey, Kane(~!), Morrison, Kahli, Fit and Ziggler (who is getting somewhat of a push). Not what you would call stella.

Shelton has had an untold amount of push time, and has done sod all with it over and over again. I fear this is the beginning of the end for him. One run as ECW champion for a while, and then that'll be it. He's got not an ounce of charisma in him.

[Leprekorn]

I've always rated Shelton and think that they dropped the ball with him. I wonder if Brock had stayed whether they would have played on their history a little more and Shelton may have broke the top teir.

[luckysalt]

Shelton was f**ked when they gave him that stupid mother, that ruined him and he's never picked it up since

Hulk Hogan Gives Detailed Thoughts On TNA vs. WWE

"I watch both products. (TNA's) like the little engine that could. Everybody thought they wouldn't be around for long, and they've been chugging along for seven years. They gain momentum every week. They seem to be real fresh. When a lot of guys go over to that side of the fence, they seem to get a spring in their step," Hogan said. He added that he also watched the WWE product saying, " Vince is the constant. He's the standard of excellence. I just love watching his show because you never know what he is going to do. Plus, the production -- you can't even touch his production. It's so dialed-in. It's amazing just to see how they put the pieces together."

"If you look at history, everyone says, 'History repeats itself.' With all of the choices in the universe of entertainment, I look at the big package and look at the big picture from 40,000 feet. I see history repeating itself. I see TNA getting strong. I see Vince McMahon being impeccable except for a few little holes in the boat."

Hogan continued, "TNA is lacking that one momentum-shifting move, that one big name that would even the playing field, the brand (that is) just as powerful as the WWE brand. (TNA's) lacking the big piece of the puzzle. It wouldn't matter who did what in the past. It will be a totally even playing field. You never know."

It certainly sounds to me that Hogan is sounding out a payday in TNA

Theres not a chance it would have anywhere near the impact the nWo had in WCW in 1996

A bit from a recent John Cena interview

On if he would like to turn heel: That's the thing, I'm one of those guys who on any given day can be booed out of any building. I'm the only guy who is neither a good guy or a bad guy. That's because I'm genuinely myself. Certainly, guys in our industry try to sway the audience one way or the other, but like I said, I go out there and I'm me. I have certain things that I stand for, certain things that I believe in, and if you don't like it and you tell me to go to hell, I think that's your God-given right as a fan. It's one of those deals where I'm that one guy who is outside of that realm of good guy, bad guy. I'm just me, and it elicits a response both positive and negative.

Who he sees as the stars of the future: Now is a really good time because since the inception of WWE, there has always been that one, this is the guy. But now, you have a lot of possibilities, guys like Ted DiBiase Jr., The Miz, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston and even a guy like MVP. These are guys who are all on the cusp. For the first time, we have all these guys who are ready to charge the gates and make a run to try and be the No. 1 guy on Raw.

Number one - Er no Cena you twat, you're a face, that's why you only fued with heels, and you cut babyface promo's and act like a babayface

Number two - None of those guys are anywhere near ready to be a world champion with the exception on MVP and he is nowhere near ready to carry the whole company on his back, the future for WWE is shit

Jeff Hardy is f**king off, Cena is overexposed, Morrison has been wasted and is in great danger of floundering, Carlito was wasted, Shelton was wasted, Christian is coming to the end of his career and will never get the push, Jericho and Edge are the best they have, and only CM Punk and Orton are the young stars in the company

I worry about the future of the WWE, its so stale already, they need new stars, back in 2002 is seemed so much brighter when Brock Lesnar was here, they need a guy like that again, I do respect the hell out of Cena though but heres so dull, he needs a makeover and fast

[metallimuse]

Why is Jeff leaving?I gather that his contract is nearly out but why is he not staying with the company?

[luckysalt]

He wants some time out,. he says hes 31 now and wants to wrestle until hes 40 but doesn't want to do it constantly

Fair play to him, Im pretty shocked though as his house has just burnt down and it wasn't insured so he'll have lost a lot of money, must have saved well to be able to take time off just like that, and his new house he's having built from stratch too.

[metallimuse]

It seems stupid to me now that he's a top tier performer and finally been given the strap to take time out.

Lashley has announced he's finally sorted things out with TNA and has signed his contract and will start this weekend at their Victory Road PPV

Don't forget Taz will also debut at the PPV as well

Im looking forward to this PPV a lot!

Samoa Joe v Sting, Kurt Angle v Mick Foley, those two matches alone should be outstanding

Well... it seems like Victory Road last night was a utter disaster.

First ever negative 5 star match~!

[Uncle Liam]

[Halcyon]

So many awesome things about the show.

Kevin Nash beating... no HUMBLING AJ Styles clean.

The two top faces both tapping out.

Kurt Angle givig the results of matches away.

Joe's advisor making his debut, with jow declaring he was ready for WAR and then proceeding to do absolutely nothing.

Joe getting cheered more than at anytime in the last year, despite being a heel.

And of course, the classic womens action. I truly have never seen anything like it.

[luckysalt]

Angle and Foley was the best that could have been hoped for, especailly as Angle had a groin injury

Joe v Sting was disappointing, no intensity, they walked through it, the ending and Taz's debut was shockingly poor, can't believe Taz never even got on the mike, but they have announced Taz and Joe interview will be the first thing on Impact this week

Sharmell v Jenna was AWFUL, but Jenna looked pretty niiiice

Womens title was decent

3D v British was dull

Beer Money v Steiner & Booker was dull

AJ got the best he could out of Nash who is just AWFUL, the Legends title is just such a stupid idea anyway

Morgan v Daniels was pretty good, both can work

Be interesting to see what fueds start up now between the roster

[luckysalt]

OH!

And the huge news is surely about Jarrett being kicked out the company that he started it appears!

Wordis Angle wants him gone and to be booker and he won't sign a new contract until it happens

And you know what, I can see it happening, poor Jarrett, apparently he's banging Kurts wife as well

What a situation they have going on behind the scenes there!
