Angle charged with HGH possession<cite class="source">
</cite>
<!-- end mod-article-title --> <!-- begin story body --> MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. -- Pro wrestler and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle has been arrested on charges of possessing a human growth hormone and violating an order of protection in suburban Pittsburgh.

Angle was arrested about 7:50 a.m. Saturday in a Robinson Township strip mall parking lot. His girlfriend, who said she obtained a protection order about 1½ hours earlier after the two fought Friday night, alleged that he had circled the lot staring at her as she sat in a coffee shop, according to a police affidavit.

Police said they found the human growth hormone Hygetropin in Angle's car, and the wrestler told them he had a prescription for the drug. He also told officers he had not seen the woman and was looking for a hotel because he was barred from his home.

Angle, 40, was charged with violating the order of protection, harassment, possession of drugs and paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license. He posted bail and is scheduled to appear for a hearing Tuesday on the drug and harassment charges and Wednesday on the charge of violating the protection order, a court clerk said.

Angle, the current heavyweight champion of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, was scheduled to appear in a TNA Wrestling event Sunday night in Orlando, Fla. Steven Godfrey, spokesman for Nashville, Tenn.-based TNA Wrestling, declined comment on the arrest but said the main event between Angle, Sting and "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan would go on as scheduled.

Godfrey also said TNA has a drug policy in place for staff and performers, but he declined to release the details.

Angle's phone number is unlisted. Messages left for attorney Michael Santicola, who has represented him previously, were not immediately returned.

Angle is a two-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion at Clarion University in western Pennsylvania. He won the 220-pound championship at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, defeating Iran's Abbas Jadidi for the gold medal, and has been a professional wrestler since 1998.

In September, Angle was found not guilty of drunken driving in Moon Township outside Pittsburgh. A motorist told police Angle had cut her off while leaving a bar parking lot.

Oh myAnother ROH star close to signing WWE deal PDF Print E-mail

ROH has announced today that Nigel McGuinness will be leaving the promotion for World Wrestling Entertainment.

McGuinness, like Bryan Danielson, has agreed to finish up his scheduled bookings and will be on all the major shows this month, finishing up on 9/26 in New York.

McGuinness (real name Steve Haworth, 33) has not signed a WWE deal, but the sides are in strong negotiations and the deal is said to be close to being finalized. McGuinness was ROH champion from October 6, 2007 through April 3, 2009.

He looks to be following Bryan Danielson, who was considered ROH's top wrestler, who also recently signed with WWE. The moves were precipitated when HDNet moved the ROH television show from a Saturday night time slot to a Monday night slot.

Joe of several years ago would have been great, but WWE would never book a newly-signed talent on a monster winning streak like TNA gave him (and ultimately threw away).

I'm almost afraid to see what they're going to do with Danielson. He may be the best in the world, but not the WWE Universe™. I don't see them letting a 5'8, 180-pound guy get over clean on their 6'3, 240-pounders. I think his style would go over great in time, with the growth of MMA, but I don't expect them to let that happen, either. But Punk got over, so maybe anything can happen, and he'd obviously have Michaels behind him.

I acutally got the powerslam magazine this article was in, and I've found the text of it online, and thought some of it was worth posting. It's by Matthew Randazzo and it answers a lot of the criticism the creative gets and why you can't really blame them for the stale product.

Quote:
New writers learn that a creative team survivor is a writer who understands that the McMahon family's faith in their employees is fickle, and impossible to restore when lost. The key to survival is simple: caution, caution, caution. Always agree with the McMahon’s and their favourites, relentlessly curry their approval, never draw attention to yourself, never complain and never take a bold or risky step because a single stumble can be fatal.



Quote:
"Wrestlers are very paranoid by nature and feel like, if you haven't paid your dues in the ring then you're not a part of the family," said Hollywood writer/producer Chad Damiani, who worked as a WCW Magazine and website writer and backstage fix-it man for WCW in the last few years of its existence under Time Warner ownership.

"I just assumed that wrestling would be like any other business - but there's a cliquish high school social structure,".
The test starts on the first day at work, when wrestling's age old etiquette requires a new employee to personally approach and introduce himself to every wrestler in the company with a limp handshake. To newcomers, unaware that this is compulsory in every wrestling promotion, it feels like an exercise in humiliation, whereby a nervous tryout is compelled to approach clearly uninterested icons like The Undertaker and make small talk, or interrupt the eerily intense pre-match rituals of obsessive professionals, or endure the put-downs and snubs of the openly hostile John Bradshaw Layfield and Hardcore Holly. As he runs this unremitting gauntlet, an outsider with real world accomplishments must be careful at all times to appear meek, lest he be branded forever as a "snob" by wrestlers. Someone with actual wrestling knowledge, meanwhile, has toi surpress the career-killing reaction of "marking out" and "clamming up" when he meets his idols.



Quote:

Dr Ranjan Chhibber a life-long fan hired to the writing team in 2004 based on his award winning academic career, risked being tarnished with both stigma. Chhibber remembers Pat Patterson, cutting off his introduction the first time they met with a scowling "You ain't one of those Hollywood guys who want to ruin wrestling?". When Chhibber took a differnt tack and tried to offset his outsider status by informing flattered Senior Vince President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis that he was a fan of his All Japan matches, Stephanie McMahon reprimanded him for "acting like a mark",

Chhibber also said "Wrestlers feel like anyone who wishes to belong to their club is too lame to be accepted."



Quote:
"Vince is absolutely, incredibly intimidating, " said former WWE producer Domenic Cotter. "He's tremendously close to his on-screen character: he's just this big, tall guy with this big booming voice, with huge balls"



Quote:
Dominick Pagliaro, who worked as a WWE writer and Stephanie's assistant for more than a year in 2003-2004 said: "I remember I once asked (Vince) how he made it so big, and he just told me: "I've eaten s*** from everybody, every day of my life. That's all I do: I eat s***.". Flabbergasted, Paglairo had no idea how to respond.



Quote:
Madigan said he was with WWE on the European tour when his wife had a miscarriage and his father in law died so he had to come home. While at the funeral, he says, he got a call from WWE asking Stephanie asking him to come back to Europe for a meeting on Tough Enough. She was actually yelling at him over the phone while he was standing by his father in law's graveside.




Quote:
After the initial trial period, the writer's main interaction with Vince and Stephanie comes during the weekly Thursday/Friday writing team meetings in which the plans for the next week are thrashed out. According to more than one former WWE writer, these meetings added digestive discomfort to the usual brew of social and professional discomfort, since only the McMahon's were allowed to eat during the marathon sessions.
"It was just brutal. There was never any food provided in the writers' room - but it wasn't their place to feed us said one former WWE writer. "You did get hungry after three hours, especially when Vince and Stephanie would have their respective assistants bring them lunch and they would eat in front of us".
Vince always ate in the meetings. . . He had some sort of beef wrap with ketchup," added Domenic Cotter. "The meetings usually ran the entire day (without food)."
To this day, no refreshments are provided to WWE writing staff.

There's a lot of other things that are bad as well, if I remember correctly.

- Brian Gerwtiz and Michael Hayes are constantly trying to sabotage new writers, because they feel threatened by their spot.
- One of the initiations for new writers is to go on a limo ride with the McMahons...which is every bit as awkward as it sounds.
-one time Vince called the entire creative team down to Florida for a meeting. Once they got there, Vince decided he didn't want a meeting after all, and they'd spent all that time travelling there for nothing (this was in the observer)
-one writer recently brought up a John Cena heel turn,...and Vince called him an idiot in front of everyone (even if he didn't think it was a good idea...jeez, man)

Also, Stephanie is crazy. Like, really crazy. And it's worse than Vince because Stephanie kind of knows she's not as smart as him, so she does everything possible to compensate for it including trying to be a drill seargent. I remember in f4w one writer said he felt a bit sorry for her, because she was competely brainwashed, and there's nothing left of her that isn't artifice.

My favorite irrational Steph story from an ex-WWE Writer was Stephanie apparently screaming and crying out "Why?!!!" backstage, movie-style when HHH tore his quad the 2nd time. He said everyone was just standing there looking at her all awkward and everyone's impulse was to say "you know he's not dead, right?". Luckily, they kept their mouths shut.

Here's another writer's account from another issue of powerslam. This was from a CURRENT writer, so things must be bad if he's willing to risk spilling his/her guts to a magazine. This is from an issue in late 2008.

Quote:
“When I first started working as a writer in the WWE, this is the creative format that was used: we all pitched ideas to our respective show’s head writer and then they would e-mail a draft of the show to the full writing staff, Vince and Stephanie on Friday night. This would allow all of us to read the shows before the marathon Saturday conference calls that would begin at 9am and continue, on some days as late as 5am. But there was one additional person, who would receive the shows: HHH. His position as a member of WWE creative was never established, yet he had to get a copy of the show, lest we incur both his and Stephanie’s wrath. Curiously enough, HHH would never participate in any of the conference calls. His changes would be passed on to Stephanie. She would declare in a firm voice on the Saturday conference calls, ‘Hunter doesn’t like that idea, and this is what he wants to change it to.’ Then Vince would always say in a nice, soft tone, which was unusual for him: ‘Hmmmmm. What do you all think of that?” Brian Gewirtz, the notorious Stephanie and HHH lackey, would always be the first to reply, without a moment’s hesitation, ‘I think that’s a brilliant idea, Steph!’ in his Eddie Munster voice. Then every other writer, with the exception of one or two, would chime in saying variants of ‘I agree’ and ‘good idea’, etc. Then Vince would say, ‘Well, if there’s no disagreement, make the changes, Brian.’ Same routine, over and over, whenever it involved a change suggested by HHH. It seemed like a work to me: Stephanie firmly declares HHH’s idea, Vince acts neutral towards it and asks for our opinions, and then Gewirtz quickly kisses Stephanie’s ass, prompting everyone else to agree.



“This routine would never change, except those weeks when we had a triple-header work marathon (Sunday PPV, RAW on Monday, Tuesday taping of SmackDown): we would work on the RAW scripts during the day of the Sunday PPV. In those instances we wouldn’t e-mail the scripts to HHH --- we would hand-deliver them to him. Normally, the head writer of the show would give it to him, but occasionally that job fell to me. I remember being nervous the first time I delivered the script to the McMahon dressing room where HHH would dress (he would never use the locker rooms with the rest of the boys). When HHH answered I told him the RAW script was ready for his review. On the first occasion, he grabbed the script, flipped through it but did not read it, and asked me point-blank: ‘Am I f—king going over?’ This first time that I delivered the script to him, he did indeed win his match, so I said yes. Then he politely gave the script back to me without reading it and said, ‘That’s all I needed to know,’ and walked back into the McMahon locker room. A few months later when Gewirtz had another weekend off, I delivered another RAW script to him on a PPV Sunday. And it was the same routine. He nonchalantly flipped through it and said, ‘Am I f—king going over?’ This time, however, he was to lose his match via disqualification. He would keep his title. I said to him, ‘Well, sort of.’ Then HHH froze. He said, ‘What do you f—king mean, sort of?’ I said, ‘You lose the match via DQ, so you still keep the title.’, ‘What page?’ he growled. After I told HHH the page number this occurred on, he ripped that page out, threw the rest of the script to the floor in a rage, and slammed the door in my face. Needless to say, the next day during the agents’ meeting, the script had somehow changed and now HHH won his match – cleanly. This was hardly an isolated incident.

“Ultimately, it’s not HHH’s fault or even Stephanie’s fault, really. WWE is Vince’s company: no one challenges him or what he says must happen. I spent a lot of time with both HHH and Vince together --- in some cases, five hours a day, especially when we had to take Vince’s Challenger Jet from Connecticut to somewhere on the West Coast. And the fact is that Vince has no objectivity when it comes to HHH. When any of us writers come up with an idea, Vince would say things like: ‘That’s great! Why am I even paying these guys?’ and then laugh, while pointing at all of us strikers. In stark contrast, when Shane McMahon would sit in on some agent meetings, his ideas would be shot down by Vince. Vince was at his most human when interacting with Shame, in that he would yell at Shane like any dad yells at his son, but the yelling was always to try and make Shane better. With HHH, though, Vince would never publicly disagree with him. And with Stephanie by his side, he would accept whatever trash HHH spewed. After all, Vince would do anything for his baby girl. She would incessantly whine to him about putting HHH over, so Vince would do that for her . . .”

LOL yea that guys amusing but based on what former writers have said Id believe that stuff.

The problem is the former writers Randazzo uses, particularly Chibber and Madigan (especially Madigan) have been drawn and quartered in terms of their credibility. And Randazzo keeps quoting them because they are willing to tell him anything. So then Randazzo gets his credibility assaulted, like what happened with guys like Meltzer after his book came out.

The worst of the lot is Madigan, who has practically been painted as a psychopath. That dude is creepy. He is also the guy who wrote the See No Evil movie Kane was in, which probably explains a lot.

Did you hear the story of him pitching the idea of Heyman (who is Jewish, of course) managing a Nazi wrestler? He starts goosestepping all around the writers room pitching this idea, the writers are sitting there with their mouths open, and Stephanie was like umm OK. Then literally that day, insider guys got emails first from people who were there telling that story and laughing at Madigan over it, and then they got emails from Madigan himself (who most had never heard from before) talking about how Stephanie was a miserable **** (using those words) and he would go undercover and prove it if they wanted him to.

I think he has the story a bit convaluted, Madigan pitched the idea for Heidenreichs gimmick to be that he was a unfrozen Nazi.

The whole gimmick was that Heidenreich would be a cyborg nazi created by Hitlers scientists during WW2 and cryogenically frozen in a lab hidden deep inside a cave in the swiss alps.

But there isnt anything off about what I said. About a month before Randazzos book came out, he wrote about this very topic in the same magazine you quoted that other story from. He had to know that when the book came out and people saw Madigan was the source he used most often, stories like this would be told to discredit Madigan as a nutcase. So telling the story himself was like a preemptive strike at getting it out there first and letting Madigan try to defend it.

All the stuff I mentioned (Nazi, Heyman managing him, goose stepping around the meeting, etc.) was all confirmed by Randazzo and Madigan. He made this big pitch of his idea, Vince just looked at him and then got up and left, so it was left to Stephanie to end this totally awkward meeting.

The part that came out after Randazzo told the story, which Randazzo probably had no idea of, was how Madigan exposed himself as some psychopathic misogynist by contacting people afterward with this hatred towards Stephanie. Which he had no reason to have, it was Vince who walked out. But the guy is nuts.

They put them over?DX vs. Legacy is next

The "You Screwed Bret" chants were really loud, as they were doing their "For the thousands in attendance...." stuff. HHH was ready for it, and said something happened a long time ago here, and said it was all Shawn's fault. People didn't laugh, and actually booed Shawn louder. Still, Legacy was booed coming out.

They put Legacy over. Backstage Rhodes knocked out HHH with an ice chest and he was left laying. They fought for several minutes. Rhodes crotched Michaels on the post and put him in a really bad looking figure four around the post that may have made Bret Hart gag watching. DiBiase put the Million Dollar Dream on Michaels so it was a double submission. HHH was crawling from backstage and people expected him to make the save but Michaels instead tapped.

Crowd didn't boo Michaels after the first minute but they were less behind DX than you'd expect so in a 22:00 match, it dragged a lot. The submissions problem was real evident because nobody really had submissions over and they used moves like Rhodes doing an ankle lock, DX used guillotines and crowd wasn't buying. Finish was a surprise and there was a good spot that got over where HHH gave DiBiase a spinebuster on a food table, sending food everywhere, but not that good.

Josh Matthews asked Randy Orton about his reaction to the win. Orton said he had no reaction but knew Legacy would win. Orton played the role of whispering sick villain ala Jake Roberts in the promo.That means DX will kill them on Raw tomorrow.Of course.

The early match could also mean that Orton's going over Cena, although I don't see that happening. That would probably mean the Undertaker going over CM Punk, which wouldn't make much sense.

C.M. Punk vs. Undertaker for the World title ends the show.

Undertaker with the gogoplata and immediate tap in 8:00. They were running way late so that may have been why the match was so short. Match was good for the time it was out there, but end felt like it was out of nowhere. Teddy Long then informed us that the move was banned and the match must continue.

Punk grabbed the Anaconda Vise a few seconds left, and they reprised Montreal and Scott Armstrong called for the bell even though no tap. Punk and the ref ran away as Teddy stood there like he turned heel. Wait, what?

The long-term goal here has to be Punk going over undertaker. Although what's the next PPV, Hell in a Cell?

Has anyone been watching ROH since it moved to Mondays? I would recommend it, they have put on some great tv matches in the last few weeks, especially the main event. Last night's show had a main event of the Briscoes vs. Steen and Generico that was amazing and probably the best tv match I have seen all year, even though it did end in a schmozz with a no decision (which actually made sense given what's going on in their tag division right now).

With the company losing Danielson and McGuinness to the E, the landscape will be changing in ROH, hopefully it comes out ok.

And I can't wait to see Punk/Untertaker/Batista in a Cell. I hope that's not where they're going. Although I guess it would be a way to give Punk a banana peel win to retain the title, have taker and tista take each other out. God knows Punk's not getting a clean win.

What UFC has done to get themselves to boom, actually, is basically do everything that WWE did 10 years ago. MMA fans don't want to admit it, or even think about it, but Dana promotes UFC like WWE circa 1999 in a lot of ways.

I think eventually WWE can catch back up to UFC. I think UFC is oversaturating their audience (just like WWE is with a dozen PPVs) and ultimately WWE can control the outcome of their matches when UFC can't, which, although surprises are always good, is a huge advantage as far as promotion goes.

On the flip side, MMA is essentially stealing an entire generation of talent from pro wrestling, which could be a killer long term. Then again, training in MMA doesn't necessarily preclude one from training in pro wrestling down the line.

So according to Meltzer, Punk is being punished because of how he dressed on the recent European tour.

So the people in stamford took that as Punk being so arrogant that he thinks he's as big a star as Cena, and now he's being completely squashed, maybe permanently.

Oh shit.Shane McMahon announces resignation PDF Print E-mail

The resignation of Shane McMahon was announced this morning by World Wrestling Entertainment.

McMahon, 39, wrote, "It is with great sadness that I announce my resignation from the WWE, effective January 1, 2010. I have never even considered a future outside the walls of the WWE. However, sometimes life takes an unexpected turn and while it is the most difficult decision I have ever made, it is time for me to move on."

Aside from that he thanked his father, the wrestlers and the fans.

Rumors McMahon was leaving the company surfaced late last night catching almost everyone off guard.

The January 1 date was giving the company more than 60 days notice.

It is not known what projects he is doing next. McMahon was Executive Vice President of Global Media, and recently was involved in closing the deal to get WWE an expanded PPV presence in Mexico.

The ad states "Last month A.J. Styles cemented his legacy whe he defeated the icon Sting," and then hints at some sort of betrayal.

It is possible TNA could change the finish of the main event, but unlike WWE, TNA's storylines and direction are done months in advance and it would require throwing all out main event plans going forward several months.

My guess is somehow Michaels and Bret bury the hatchet tonight, and it's Bret/McMahon at WM. That whole bit about everything will be good last week just makes it sound like Michaels turning on Vince and Bret setting up the match.

This is either going to be really good, or really, really, biblically bad.

If done well, it could be very interesting if Hart and HBK aligned, either for good or for the eventual swerve at WM. With that said, the mongoloids in WWE will do their paint-by-numbers writing and make Bret the special guest ref at WM between Taker and HBK. Probably something stupid like Taker putting HBK in the sharpshooter and Hart calling for the bell right away.

If Bret is the guest ref then I hope he hits someone with a chair ala Summerslam '98 where HBK was the guest ref between Bret and Taker. HBK accidentally hit Taker with a chair shot and Bret beat Taker for the title that Bret would lose 3 months later to HBK in Monteal.

Wow that was a let down.

Brett got fat.

The angle between HBK and Brett at the beginning of RAW was more entertaining then what happened at the end between him and Mcmahon. The crowd didn't seem that into it.

I think 12 years was too long. A lot of the fan base is probably too young to even know who Brett Hart is.

I was a Hitman fan growing up and after that, I think they would have been better off not bringing him back to "bury the hatchet".

It began great, I really liked Bret and HBK out there, but the rest of the show sucked. The end would have been good if it wasn't Vince making himself the center of attention for 10 minutes. Just come out and kick him, for christ's sake. They have a lot of work to do to make this a worthwhile angle by mania.

I thought Impact, despite typical TNA retardation, was actually a much better show with several good matches.

I feel more than confident RVD will show up at some point or another. Various internet sites have reported [interpret that as you may] he signed a short term deal back in December that would allow him to test the waters on how he's going to be used. Although he's saying he won't be returning to either company, I'm more inclined to think he's working the net to maintain the "surprise" element for when he does come back.

Also, it's wonderful having Bischoff back on television. That man is brilliant to listen to.

Anyways, i watched TNA and i enjoyed it. I havent watched a full wrestling show since WcW so see'ing all the older guys again was pretty cool. I just dont think they will run the show like back when WCW was around. They will mix it up and then the older guys will fade after the younger guys get some wins over the legends.

At the very least two shows on Monday night should raise the game of WWE. I would have thought they would have put on a better show last night but it was the same old junk they have been putting out there for years now.

As for TNA. I watched it from time to time before tonight but I think I will make sure to check it out each week. Seeing some of the old WCW crew really got my blood pumping. Not that they are great wrestlers anymore but it was cool to see them. I think that these old guys mixed in with some of the young talent TNA has could put on some great matches. The X division guys are almost all great wrestlers and they have a few other guys as well that are very sound. Loved the heat between Hogan and the old NWO guys. Bishoff loved him. But as I said before AJ Styles vs. Angle was a showstopper. Anyone that did not see that match should catch the replay.Effin unreal.

Nice seeing Dragon on the big stage. I giggled when Dragon tried to shake Chavo's hand, guess he is bringing the code of honor to the E. I was shocked that he got the pin with just his running kick, he's got about 58 other finishers. I wanted to see some MMA elbows or cattle mutilation. I doubt they will let him use the triangle choke, which sucks.

I really hope (but not counting on) that Vince sees Dragon as more than just a little guy. He can have great matches with all shapes and sizes due to his groundbased offensive style (he can fly around a bit too). Just look at his matches with Morishima in ROH to see how he can work with a 300+ pounder.

Michaels has wanted to retire for two years but kept having to come back because people got hurt. Really, there's no reason to have him end the streak. It won't make him a bigger star in any way. So I'd argue that everything points to the Undertaker winning. But who knows with WWE. They probably won't make their minds up until the morning of the show.

As far as the streak goes, if they plan to end it, I'd say the smartest move would be to have a heel go over with a screw-job in 2011. I think people are more into the streak than they are the titles nowadays, and I think they could create a mega-star if they do it right. Just imagine the level of heat somebody could have...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Police say the wife of pro wrestler Ric Flair has been charged with assaulting him in their North Carolina home.

In a statement, Flair called the incident an unfortunate disagreement and said he did nothing wrong.

Authorities say officers were called to Flair's home in south Charlotte on Sunday night. Flair said his wife attacked him after they went out for dinner. He had minor injuries, but refused treatment from paramedics.

Police charged 41-year-old Jacqueline Beems with simple assault. She was released from jail a few hours after her arrest.

The 60-year-old platinum blond grappler nicknamed "The Nature Boy" is currently wrestling for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling after a long career with World Wrestling Entertainment.

I can't say I ever expected Danielson's television debut to be a competitive match against world heavyweight champion Chris Jericho. They're giving him a serious push right out the gates. That bump off the announce table looked brutal.

Unfortunately, he looked like the only guy on the show even remotely ready for Raw. Although the british dude with Jericho seemed to be a pretty good talker. And CM Punk cutting the promo about "why am I here?" and then walking out on his guy after he loses was pretty great. That has to be building to that guy getting his head shaved. Either way, I can see why they spent half the show focused on "Daniel Bryan". I didn't expect them to push the idea that he's had a storied indy career, though. Why not just keep his name if he's the first guy in years that you're going to acknowledge had a career outside of WWE? But, anyway, I thought he fit right in with Miz and Jericho, albeit a little nervous, and that match was pretty good.

Did you enjoy heel Cole going off about the IWC and dirt sheets?

I thought it was funny because well there's a lot of truth in how that company thinks about that stuff in what he said.

Also frankly calling Danielson a rookie and Miz the pro is comically bad.

I got a chuckle when Josh mentioned JRs blog too, rofl.I thought it was funny because well there's a lot of truth in how that company thinks about that stuff in what he said.Totally. I'd been reading a lot over the past few months about how popular Danielson was backstage, because of the way he carries himself, respectful to everybody, and I think that shows in the way they're pushing him. It looks like he's worked the politics the right way.

The only thing he really has working against him is his size. He was noticably smaller than everybody else (including the Miz). But putting him in there with Jericho was a great way to counteract that. Can't think of a better way to protect him.Also frankly calling Danielson a rookie and Miz the pro is comically bad.I think it's hilariously bad, on one hand, but on the other I think it's good booking. Gives him an established heel to work with, gives the audience a feud that's basically "sports entertainer versus wrestler" (something I never thought I'd see) and an entrance feud for Raw down the road that may well end up with Danielson getting the US title sometime later in the year. It wouldn't have worked a year ago. But I think Miz is one of the most improved guys in the company over the last 12 months. He's really come a long a way. I never expected him to be anything, but it's looking to me like he's the future star and Morrison is just another guy, and I never saw it that way when they were in ECW together.

The problem is it looks great to say us because we're in the know, to casual fans they really probably think Miz is a pro and Danielsons not.

I never really figured Danielson would get screwed because he's a Michaels guy and all that.

I will say some of Coles IWC shit was annoying because it sounded like nothing more than something that was fed to him that Vince or H would say backstage or some dipshit WWE mark would say to you.

He's come a long way since hosting the boring skank searches and is the most interesting up and coming heel. The promo he ran talking crap on JBL and Benoit banning him from the locker room for eating a piece of chicken was pure awesome.

Tna was pretty good last night i think it was way better then raw from what i've read about raw.Raw was boring last night. Unfortunately, however, TNA was just plain stupid. Some of the worst booking ideas I've seen in years. Not that it mattered, because nobody was watching. Raw pulled it's normal 3.4. TNA had a 1.0. That's worse rating than they've been pulling on Thursday.

And that was on a night where it was pretty clear that WWE didn't give a shit what TNA was doing. They obviously don't see them as any kind of a threat. And WWE is clearly right to think that. TNA has no chance.

Next Monday is going to be brutal. TNA is running a taped show against Stone Cold Steve Austin's return on a show featuring re-matches from past Wrestlemanias.

This "war" is over. There was no interest last night, certainly not anything approaching January 4th.

Russo's tried to make Sting a heel before. It's never, ever worked. Maybe it will this time. Either way, his 5-minute beatdown of RVD was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Next to not advertising that RVD was going to be on the show in the first place. Or Jeff Hardy. Or cutting the broadcast off right before the swanton on AJ. Or not having Samoa Joe on at all.


I really want TNA to work. They have a really talented roster and I think legitimate competition would be good for WWE. But TNA is doomed as long as the same guys (the writing staff, Russo and friends) are putting the shows together. They've shown over and over and over and over that they just don't have a clue. The thing I'm most worried about right now is that the move to Monday night will kill the company.

Russo wasnt never really good at storylines are even writing them its just like watching wcw in it's last year before vince bought them. Hogans gonna possibly gonna sign more over the hills to tna and its gonna prevent the great talent they already have on there rosters where they need to get like watching the f'n Nasty Boys again is also just unbelievable horrible to watch they are unbearable

Lol I called it raw predictable? Unfortunately I can't find the post, but I told u Brett wasn't hurt it was s ruse between cena and hart to get Vince in the ring. This is your big climax to end raw I called this almost a month agoo.


Now TNA is on a thin line they need to have hogan be the leader and type of CEO not wrestle or this will turn off fans. Kudos to bischoff, ruso and hogan on the sting heel turn hearing Sting actually get booed was awesome. Signing hardy and RVD was also a brilliant move. Now bring back Joe as a bad ass develop some of the younger guys and have a good swerve or two and you have something.

Personally I would have Nash and hall start off the match and look like they were gonna wrestle only to have the finger poke of doom two. Nash then get pinned and get up laughing and hugging x PAC and hall. When EY comes in asking what gives Nash powerbombs him. Saying blood is thicker than water EY the band is back together. Then we realize as bischoff comes down that it was all a ruse to get hall and x PAC contracts from hogan and Dixie . Hmm now that would be awesome. Just my two cents

I think what this newest Monday Night "War" has done is expose just how unbelievably clueless the people running TNA are. They had no real reason to move; they were running unopposed on a popular night for wrestling (I still think Smackdown needs to move back to Thursday, but that's an entirely different topic...). But, okay, they wanted to move, so toss the illogic of doing it to the side for the moment. Let's say you move to Monday, what's the smartest time to broadcast your show? 8-10 o'clock, so you have an hour unopposed? Or 9-11 o'clock, directly against a far more popular show? (hint: 8-10 so you have an hour unopposed). Hell, let's toss the illogic of that out the window, and go with what time of year to make your move to Monday's. Should you do it in March, where WWE will be doing their Wrestlemania push, traditionally their best shows of the year? Or should you do it, say, at, oh, I don't know, any other fucking time of the year?!

I mean, seriously. Move to Monday now? What the fuck kind of stupid plan is that?

We saw how well it worked out this week. Because they got abso-fucking-lutely destroyed in the ratings. 3.7 for WWE, 0.8 for TNA.

As far as quality goes (and I did watch both shows, I actually helped TNA achieve that amazing 0.8 rating), WWE has four feuds right now which are far-and-away better than anything going on in TNA right now. Michaels and Undertaker. Edge and Jericho. CM Punk and Misterio. And McMahon and Bret Hart. Which closing the show on Monday was I thought one of the best-done angles I've seen in years.

Hell, even Shaemus delivered a good promo Monday.

The only thing I'm not interested in right now is that Legacy garbage. They've done the worst possible job with Randy Orton, not to mention the other two. Orton would have been a monster babyface about a year ago, but I don't think anybody cares at all about him now.

And a month in, I still think NXT is the maybe the most interesting thing on the air.
