And something surprising...

Impact Wrestling had 1.6 million viewers and scored a 0.5 rating share in adults 18-49, which represented an increase from last week's edition. Last week's show produced 1.3 million viewers and a 0.4 rating in adults 18-49.

Spike Dudley was there too. I laughed when Mike Tenay botched things up with him; Taz called him by his TNA name (Brother Runt), then Tenay immediately called him Spike. :p

Gotta say, bit of a shocker at the end of this week's show (Taz revealing himself as an Aces & Eights member, that is, not them crashing the party, which was too obvious); maybe we'll see the end of this section of Botchamania...

TNA has announced via Facebook that TNA Champion Jeff Hardy was pulled from the tour of the UK. The company claims it was an injury (and there will be an angle to explain it on the January 24 episode of Impact Wrestling) but it's actually because Hardy can't travel due to his legal problems.

Sting will replace Hardy on the tour. This means that unless Hardy is on the show through pre-taped vignettes or interviews, he will miss four weeks of Impact Wrestling TV. Hardy has been advertised for the tour since tickets went on sale eight months ago.

Here is the official announcement:

TNA IMPACT WRESTLING regrets to inform our fans in the UK and Ireland that Jeff Hardy will not be on the Road To Lockdown Tour, due to an injury sustained on the TNA IMPACT WRESTLING show on January 18.

However we are delighted to announce that ?The Icon' Sting will be replacing Jeff at the TNA live events in Dublin, Glasgow, Nottingham, Manchester and London.

Also appearing on all five shows will be global wrestling superstars including Kurt Angle, Bully Ray, Austin Aries, Bobby Roode, James Storm, Magnus, RVD, Tara and Velvet Sky.

The Immortal Hulk Hogan and Brooke Hogan were recently added to the roster for TNA's TV tapings in Manchester and London.

The stars of TNA Wrestling: British Boot Camp ? Marty Scurll, Rockstar Spud and The Blossom Twins ? will also be appearing in Glasgow, Nottingham, Manchester and London.

Naughty Jeff.

He looks pretty badass with that title. I wonder if he will ever get the push he deserves. He and Wade should be holding the raw / smackdown titles.

Why does Otunga 'deserve' a push?

I'll give you Barrett, he's talented.

Well, Otunga does have a fair bit going for him. He's good on the mic, and he seems to have the natural ability to draw heat from the crowd just by appearing on the camera (which I like to call the Vickie Guerrero gift). He's pretty highly regarded in PWI as well; he won three awards in 2010 (Feud of the Year, and Most Hated Wrestler of the Year, both with The Nexus, and Rookie of the Year), and last year, he was #84 in the PWI 500, so that's a pretty big accomplishment. Oh yeah, he's also a former 2-time Tag Team Champion, and a 2-time Slammy Award winner, but those aren't as important.

When they aren't pushing the stupid "weak lawyer that is used to lose fights" he's a good wrestler, he's good on the mic and would be a good heel. There's quite a few that deserve a push that get held back so people like Cena and Orton can be top dogs. Another one I would vote for would be Drew McIntyre and I don't know why but I wouldn't hate the idea of santino holding the title even if it was only for a month lol

How about a day? That's all I'd ask for; Santino as World Heavyweight Champion for just a day. Hell, even a minute would do! :p

Adrian Neville (PAC) vs. Drew McIntyre (Drew Galloway) with Sheamus in the crowd in Real Quality Wrestling (RQW), back in I'm guessing around 2007, as it says it was before Sheamus was signed by WWE, and he went to RQW then.

I never knew Sheamus and Drew McIntyre had a big rivalry across the UK before they both went to WWE. Would love to see that rivalry reignited...

Yeah sucks he got injured. Also, Yoshi Tatsu is awesome.

So, any takers on whether Punk retains at RR or Rock wins it? Since WWE is going back and forth on it, I'm gonna say Punk will retain in some heely fasion, then lose it at EC.

I don't think anyone is holding Otunga back except for Otunga. Obviously Vince likes him. He gets mainstream press. But in the ring, he is below average. Yes, he has mic skills. Yes, he has a good look. Yes, he smashes out Jennifer Hudson. But thats about it.

Sounds like you're going to be waiting quite a long time for anything to do with Santino. Unfortunately.

I know. It'll never happen. Would be a good idea for an April Fool's joke though, the next time a RAW or SmackDown falls on April 1st. Which is actually this year. :p

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
