Search & Win

a new year, a new hope

Well as a faithful watcher of wrestling I have always noticed when something has gone to waste,

I talk about of course TNA. Over the past several months TNA has had potential to create something new, fresh and exciting. Instead we see the same TV every week that is simply wwe 2. Tna are obsessed with becoming like wwe. they don’t try to be an alternative, their characters are slight rip offs of the wwe versions(jay lethal randy savage) and every week we see guys lose but still be on top, and see guys win and be placed at the bottom! The crowd is underactive to the heels and faces, and with the unlimited amount of talent tna have no excuse not to be a top.

But it is simply, the recent frontline main event mafia storyline speaks for itself. World champions who refuse to give up the spotlight, the new generation of guys vying for that. (although one could point out that aj styles and Joe are not the future, rather the now) the point of the matter is tna relies so heavily on one main storyline the devoplment falls through the cracks, and when something good comes along they waste it!

Take example their broadcast in vages, a new ring which made the matches seem ppv like, and top it off with outstanding performances it looked like tna was (pun) bound for glory. However they returns to the standard ring again which sounds like crap, and their matches became self centered again.

And the main problem? The commentary

Their terrible, and every time we see a good match they ruin I by simply talking over the top of it, it’s like their reading of a script! (Well they are and so are the wwe guys but they made it seem like their not) not to mention they contuliys plug the main event in every match instead of calling the match that is going on right there.

Anyway the point of the matter is that tna does have hope, and hopefully they change for the better. They can start by firing Vince russle.

An Inside Look

NEWS: |HW| Stephanie McMahon testified in front of government officials regarding the probe into steroid use in wrestling. A full transcript has been made available and the interview does not exclusively focus on illegal drugs. Stephanie McMahon comments on the writing process, her past job as a WWF switch board operator, WCW, changing the image of ECW, Steve Austin, PPVs, and of course, steroid use and WWE’s drug policy.

You can read the entire transcript here. The file is in PDF format and thus requires a PDF viewer. I suggest FoxIt Reader because Adobe’s software is crap.


I’m gonna post my own comments once I finish reading this because it’s pretty damn interesting. But it’s also long so just be aware of that.

A Happy New Year Indeed

NEWS: |WWE| As part of a storyline between HHH & Vickie Guerrero on Smackdown, nude photos of the Smackdown GM were released on WWE.com. Of course, the photos have been censored.


Imagine my surprise when I visited WWE.com after being out of the wrestling scene for a few days due to the holidays.

Out of respect for Eddie Guerrero, I’m not going to make an underhanded remark about this. But I will say this, congrats go to Vickie Guerrero for actually putting all her effort into wrestling and these storylines just to “entertain” us fans.

But no one is stopping you guys from making the comments so comment away.

To see the censored photos, make the jump.

My First Prediction for 2009

NEWS: |PW| Smackdown has announced its main event for the Royal Rumble and it will be Jeff Hardy (c) defending the WWE Championship against Edge.


I’m calling it right now…as of December 31, 2008, 8:25 PM EST, Christian Cage will make his return to WWE and interfere in this world title match. Unfortunately I’m several hours late because everyone else is thinking the exact same thing. But, has anyone actually declared it in such strong fashion like me? …(that’s what I thought).

Two things come up if Christian returns: 1) If Christian interferes you would assume it would be to help Edge regain the title thus making Jeff Hardy a transitional champion. And considering the months of momentum behind Jeff, having him lose to Edge would kill all of that and it’s not very productive. 2) Christian returns to help Jeff beat Edge thus setting up an Edge vs Christian feud which has potential. If I had my choice, I would go with option 2 just because I want Hardy to remain champ for a while. How would you have it?

Buy the Rumble for the Rumble


Well your official Royal Rumble main event (or one of the main events) is John Cena vs JBL for the World Heavyweight Title. And if you’re like me, this is not a main event at all.

If the alcohol hasn’t killed your memory yet, John Cena vs JBL was one of the more impressive feuds on Smackdown years back. It was so impressive that I believe JBL was carrying Smackdown and made it a great show. You might be thinking I’m the one with memory problems right now, but JBL/Cena was a brutal feud on Smackdown. But years later these two guys are different places and a feud between the two just doesn’t sell anymore. Unless WWE throws in a weird stipulation to make the match interesting, you might as well write this match off as filler.

RAW (Dec 29 08)

NEWS: |WWE| Here’s what happened on the last RAW of 2008…

JBL beat Chris Jericho, Randy Orton and HBK in a Fatal Four Way to become the #1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Title thanks to help from his employee HBK

Matt Hardy beat Manu

Kelly Kelly confronted her secret romance and it was Randy Orton. Orton told Kelly that he didn’t need this trouble while he’s focusing on the title

Cena, Kofi Kingston & Cryme Tyme beat Kane, Mike Knox, Dolph Ziggler, Miz & Morrison

Sim Snuka beat Charlie Hasa

Melina won a battle royal to become #1 Contender for the Women’s title

Cody Rhodes beat CM Punk by count out thanks to an attack from Regal

The Beginning of a Feud

RUMOR: |PW| It looks more and more like Christian Cage will return to WWE very soon. Cage’s contract with TNA ran out and there have been no reports of him signing a new contract. If these rumors are true, Cage may be revealed as the mystery person who attacked Jeff Hardy at Survivor Series.


I’ve got no problem with Christian returning to WWE. And I think this time around WWE will give him a proper main event push considering Jeff Hardy is champion now.

A Christian vs Edge feud would be awesome by the way.

Orton Does a Number on Batista

NEWS: |WWE| Dave Batista underwent successful surgery to repair a torn hamstring this past Saturday. He also had a “jaw graft” because Orton’s punt to the head knocked out two of this teeth. Batista has started rehab yesterday and is expected to be out for months.

NEWS/RUMORS: |PWM WO LMV|

Beth Phoenix’s number one fan is Melina Rouka. Santino pointed her out in the crowd and gave an informal introduction. Her character will be known as Rosa Mendez.

WWE was going to introduce a new vampire-like faction featuring Kevin Thorn and two new developmental wrestlers, one of which was to be called Black Pain. Thorn recently returned to his vampire gimmick for this new faction, but WWE canceled this faction altogether. Now it is unknown what will become of these three.

Batista has a torn hamstring and will be out for at least 6 months.

Victoria addressed the rumors of her impending retirement and said they are untrue.

December 29th, 2008: Batista’s Surgery Successful


Disaster averted, Victoria is not retiring yet and there’s still time WWE will properly use her to lead the Women’s Division.

That new faction sounds bad ass. I wish WWE didn’t cancel it. I’m a big fan of Kevin Thorn, but I have my doubts about him being a star. Maybe it’s because I’m more into his gimmick rather than him. Alas, what could have been. Seriously, Black Pain….that name just screams bad ass.
