WWE

So I've seen the Rise and Fall of WCW.

Apart from Goldbergs interview, its an unsurprising letdown. The second half of the DVD is basically just the Monday night wars DVD. No mention of things like Benoit et all leaving, Ric Flair getting sacked in 91 as champion etc. Such a shame. But we all knew it would be like this.

Buy the book instead...

Summerslam was awesome. Ziggler vs. Mysterio and DX vs. Legacy were both very good and the TLC match was incredible. The WWE Championship match was strangely enjoying. Sure it was an overbooked mess but it was entertaining. Of course Undertakers return was amazing, had me marking out even though I predicted it before the show started.

Where you watch it Liam? online stream?

[luckysalt]

Watched the first 50minutes, its a bit dull to be honest, it seems if you were an american viewer in the 80's you would like the start of the documentary a lot more, as its a lot about the regions and the tv deals, Dusty goes on for ages, they show very little of the talent, like you said Liam they don't mention Flair leaving or any of the talent switching between shows up until Hogan, which is where Ive just gotten to

Im gunna watch it all though, Im also downloading the rise and fall of ECW cus Ive never seen that, but right now im watching Arsenal v Celtic! [and then Shooting Stars]

Right, I'm sat up again watching Raw and having a beer.

Its Hornswoggle and Chavo AGAIN. I am finishing this beer, going to bed, and NOT watching Raw ever again until this feud ends.

[Uncle Liam]

I shit you not, Michael Cole just said "coming up next. The fun is over." Its Big Show v Mark Henry. But I was unaware of when the fun even started.

Raw= NO BUYS.

[rossmac1987]

Liam got to say you missed the best segment on raw ive maybe ever seen.

Dx and Dusty discussing the shockmaster indecent.

Truly brilliant.

the four way was good, (the miz is awesome)

they put legacy over

beth vs mickie was shite

you didnt miss much but better than usual imo

[When Jokers Attack]

The Shockmaster!!!

The original segment is the funniest thing ever

[luckysalt]

I watched the segment on Raw about DX and Shockmaster

It sucked, big style, wasn't funny whatsoever

[fabulae]

The Shockmaster segment was pretty funny, especially with Arn Anderson in the corner scuttling away.

How many times did Gail Kim botch a move in that battle royal?! Good to see Jillian's back.

I'm totally off Raw at the moment though. I just read the results and anything that sounds half decent I watch on YouTube.

Ive set Smackdown as a serieslink now, so I'll check it out everyweek in fast forwards and watch the matches segments that interest me, I still would totally pick TNA over WWE right now though

[Lithium05]

How good is Smackdown at the moment?!

Mysterio Vs Morrison for the IC title. Awesome match (albeit obvious winner for anyone who's been paying attention)

Also there was a GDYC sign* in the crowd afterwards

*for anyone unaware "GDYC" is an expression used by IGN's wrestling correspondant to express his disdain for Michael Cole in his very readable weekly round up of the wrestling results - it stands for God Damn You Cole.

[Lithium05]

My brother just wandered in from the pub (I got in an hour before... must be getting old) while I'm watching Smackdown and commented on how fat Matt Hardy looks nowadays... he's not wrong

[Uncle Liam]

Smackdown was great last night. CM Punk is the man. Dont quite know how he's going to beat The Undertaker in a submission match though...

[luckysalt]

I agree it was a good match, Morrison is a great wrestler

But TNA! Angelina Love has been released! I can't believe it! Her work visa from Canada ran out and she hasn't got a new one, how has that happened? theres tons of Canadian wrestlers, I cannot even begin to image how this came to pass, and Angelina Love is a HUGE TNA draw, Im shocked that this has happened, if TNA don't get this sorted and get her back on board id be gobsmacked

tna been a lot better last couple of weeks, seem to have cut down on pointless promos finally

[Uncle Liam]

Apparently this weeks show was rather good, so I'll check that out later.

Smackdown was a great show this week. Again. CM Punk is the heel of the year. His promo last week was immense.

I was thinking that WWF have booked themselves into a hole with the IC title. I'm sure Dolph was set up to beat Rey Rey and Breaking Point, and now he's facing John Morrison, who should be in a big a big push now Jeff has gone, but he's going to job to Dolph? Or are they going to bury Dolph?
