Comment on TNA Impact: The Senior Citizens Are Loose! by Drew Koscelek

I found myself flipping back and forth between Raw and Impact, praying for something on Impact to keep my attention. I was grossly disappointed.

I did tune in for the main event and let’s just say it was a train wreck of the worst kind. Neither Hogan nor Flair belong in the ring any more at this point. Perhaps with regular training, Flair could pull off a run similar to his last run with WWE. Hogan, on the other hand, can’t even walk.

It was atrocious. “It’s on, brother?” Don’t make me laugh.

Raw wasn’t all that great last night, but it was a hell of a lot better than this garbage.

Wow…just..wow. This was to be their biggest night, and they laid THAT egg? Oh boy.

Comment on Monday Night Raw Recap for March 8: Confrontations Abound on the Road to ‘Mania by Bill Wentz

It was average, but going by what you posted for TNA, WWE dominated the landscape last night. Bourne getting into MITB can be fun and should be interesting. I expected clearer direction from Legacy vs. Orton, but I think they want to keep us guessing as to who will do what.

I thought the show was so so myself. I was happy to see Bourne get a big win for a change lol. The Legacy match was decent, but I expected a little more from it.

Comment on HBK Will Indeed Lose at Wrestlemania, But Is This The Right Way To Have Him Leave? by Drew Koscelek

Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having him face The Undertaker again. They’ve done a great job of protecting the original match by having them stay pretty far away from each other since last Wrestlemania. Also, I have no doubt in my mind the two veterans are capable of delivering a different match that is just as good, if not better, than last year’s.

As far as giving the rub to a younger, up-and-coming wrestler, that never works out. Ever. And rarely, the retirement angle has anything to do with anything after a couple of weeks. I think it took less than a month for them to stop talking about HBK retiring Ric Flair. Same goes for Zack Ryder and Tommy Dreamer (2 weeks, by my count, but then again, Tommy Dreamer isn’t at Flair’s level).

I do agree this will be the last match of HBK’s career, until he comes back out of retirement, anyhow.

Comment on Awesome Kong Possibly Released from TNA Wrestling? by Lynn Angela Pisco

Since Awesome Kong is no longer with TNA company, there’s going to be enough changes to take place during tomorrow night’s Raw show . I think both Beth Phoenix and Micki James and perhaps maybe Michelle McCool themselves have to start thinking about what they are up against ! By the time Sunday March 28, 2010 for W.W.E. Wrestlemania 26 live on pay per view, each one of these ladies will have to make sure they should be fully prepared for their own matches or else when Awesome Kong makes her national wrestling debut during that particular moment, it will become their last ride to enter this very ring and there will be a brand new W.W.E. Woman’s Champion once again and yes she will also become the next future Diva Superstar to sign a contract with this company as well . I truly believe deep down in my heart regardless on how well these ladies are about to witness their own nightmares being totally crushed by non other than Awesome Kong herself, I think the women’s division should have a match to determine wheither or not they must settle matters by risking everything else including their own lives at stake . Like how about a Hell N Cell Battle Royal Toture Chambor I quit match instead for the W.W.E. Woman’s Championship title belt against Michelle McCool and each one has to either submit or pinfall or better yet climb over the top and touch both feet and declare the winner of the entire match . Or if they don’t their career and lives will be totally shatter and will no longer show up the next day for Monday or Friday night’s Raw and Smack Down as well on live television .

Glad you liked the program, Bill. :)

I’m really skeptical that Bret’s revenge is going to come even close to what McMahon has done to him thus far. If this was a young kid, up and coming, he’d have a hell of a time recovering from this squash, because just like you said – Vince has made Bret look like a chump.

I have a hard time imagining what they can do to recover this storyline. A simple pin in the middle of the ring won’t do the trick. It’s gotta be big.

Good program guys. Just trying to do some catching up tonight on news and notes since I had been out of town.

I have to agree – and it’s a point I didn’t touch on in my Raw recap (sorry for the confusion again…) was the payoff of Vince vs. Brett Hart. It better be absolutely huge. I think they work the segments well, but right now Brett looks like a total chump.

TNA really laid an egg last week (Feb 25). You guys quoted 25 minutes of wrestling, I figured it to be more like 15 in the 2 hour broadcast. Either way, it was a total JOKE. And for Bubba the Loser Stooge to claim HE will bring ratings – please?! It makes me glad I’m traveling and in a hotel where I can’t see it.

I think the Orton/Legacy thing is going to be interesting to watch unfold myself, and I agree that Cena and Batista are actually building a feud worth watching – or at least more so than normal for those two.
