Oh Rappy, I thought it was some unseen footage Taz posted but still, great stuff. I'll never forget seeing that for the first time (already knowing it was gonna happen, thx internetz) but seeing Mike Awesome back in ECW as a WCW guy and then hearing Taz's music (WWF music lol) hit and man that crowd went nuts. And thank god for Paul Heyman letting Taz TALK afterwards. He was gold on the mic, even if he did curse alot :D

I still say having Dreamer come out was genius to give Awesome the DDT, but Taz should have given him the title right away. :)

Yeah I miss those days!

Jeremy Borash of TNA noted on his Twitter account that he ran into Robert Englund at the San Diego Comic-Con. Englund, best known for playing Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, told Borash that he had been offered a spot by WWE as one of the Guest Hosts of Raw.

TNA has signed a deal with Playboy to have their Knockouts pose for the magazine. WWE used to have the same deal until they decided to move in a PG-rated direction. Traci Brooks has already done a photo shoot, which is why she has been brought back onto TV in such a prominent position in the Main Event Mafia. Christy Hemme, who returned to action at the same tapings after a recent injury, did of course pose for Playboy when she was with WWE and is believed to be willing to do a second shoot for them. So Cal Val has also acknowledged offers from the magazine in the past.

oh wow wwe you pushed the boat out here....Jericho's partner...the big show :rolleyes:

[Rappy Veteran]

CM Punk now 100% heel it seems!, not sure I like it!

[Rappy Veteran]

oh joy Orton wins again...this PPV is sucky :(

[Mazhar]

How the hell orton won again? Damn it! Damn rhodes and ted!

[LOC Veteran]

So, Hardy is the new champ. Guess he resigned eh? Or is this an incentive for him to resign? lol All that talk that Hardy has heat must be bologna if he's champion again no?

[Mazhar]

May be he has given a last push before he takes some time off.

[Unrealistic]

Wrestling news sites rarely get anything correct now a days. It's all gossip. I am however extremely happy that he is now a three time world champion.

[Gio Takahashi]

The way Orton won is bull****. He tapped out when both Cena and HHH did a submission on him (Cena with STF and HHH with Sharpshooter), the Referee, confused, couldn't make a call. That's when Rode and Dibiase came in and interfered. Somehow, just somehow Orton won.

VERY content with Jeff Hardy winning though.

Yeah wtf was up with that ref :|, honest mistake? or just a work?

all that cm punk build up to being a heel for him to lose lolz

[SolidSapphire]

I can't believe this Randy Orton - Triple H - John Cena train wreck. It's really old and i wish they could come up with something new. It's getting quite boring. Where's Austin when you need him, Give Kane the title, Hell if your gonna push a title on a newcomer it mine as well be Bourne, everybody knows he is sick!

[Yorak]

Oh my gosh, WWE Creative Team - you guys rock! You were like so totally creative this PPV. Like for realz, I would never have guessed half of the **** that happened in it, you dig?

In all honesty, the ONLY thing that I did not guess properly was Jericho's partner. And the one thing that WWE surprises me on, turns out to be a horrid surprise. I'm losing all faith in pro-wrestling.

[Mazhar]

Yeah WWE is more anticipating these days.

[Rappy Veteran]

This is a reason why I don't really care much for it now, for the last year or so I have been getting into UFC and MMA more just love it more now the current wrestling product (that includes TNA as well)

[LOC Veteran]

The thing is, Punk should have retained more than anyone on the card. He's now a full fledged heel, AND drawing major heat (finally). You don't take the title away the same night lol Maybe they'll do something tomorrow night on RAW or Smackdown (since it's SD's title, but you never know) and Punk will get it back quickly. Doubt it though.

I'm honestly shocked Mickie James won the title. Very happy though. Because nowwwwww we can have Mickie James vsssssss Gail Kim. Two women who can ACTUALLY wrestle. Shame Trish isn't around still, omg could you imagine those matches, and throw in Lita while your at it. Or any of the TNA Knockouts lol (they are ALL good wrestlers, which poops all over WWE's women's division more or less, cept for Victoria...er Tara?).

Oh my god if they have Jericho and Show as champs for more than a few more weeks, I'll vomit. I don't want to see Show ruining Jericho's awesome run (he's the best heel in the wrestling biz, period). But you can already see them setting up for Edge's return, tee hee. Edge will surely be a face (finally!) when he comes back. And the fued with Jericho and/or anyone else will be sure to please.

Sucks that Dreamer had to lose the title, but he held for quite awhile longer than I ever thought he would. And it's about time WWE gives some props to Christian as well. He's main event material, and doesn't deserve to be stuck on ECW (no offense to any ECW guys, they are the C brand after all).

[Mazhar]

Big Show and Y2J's team is unique! But let's see how long they will settle along.

[Unrealistic]

I agree with everything you said LOC but the CM Punk loss. If anything, this is going to create a long feud, which WWE desperately needs right now. Out of all the current feuds, this is not only the younger of them, but the best one currently.

Yeah but that's IF, again I say IF they are going to turn this into a long running fued. You know as a wrestling fan Vince only goes for short term shock value omg what happened stuff. And it's a known quantity and fact, that a face chasing the title is more interesting than a heel chasing the title. Once the face has the title, then what? New fued usually. We'll see if they continue things. Plus, we don't know if Hardy has resigned or not. This could just be Vince's way of making Hardy resign, or hell make Hardy look bad - imagine on Smackdown Hardy gets stripped of the title for "failing a drug test" (which wouldn't be true...hopefully lol) and then Punk can say he was right all along about Hardy. Thus making Hardy look weak and bad and then poof he's gone.

Who knows though.

[Mazhar]

I was just checking out upcoming SummerSlam site here and surprised that they have changed the SummerSlam logo to a completely new one!

I don't think the latter will happen honestly. Jeff Hardy isn't going to get suspended (opinion). You are right about a heel chasing the title though, but I still think something can be done. CM Punk will complain, blah blah blah. Guess we will find out in a weeks time.

[Gio Takahashi]

Oh Gawd, what a horribly ugly logo. Seriously.

Yeah wtf was up with that ref noexpression.gif, honest mistake? or just a work?

More than likely planned out.

Mickie James, Gail Kim, Beth Phoenix, and Melina are all amazing female wrestlers. TNA pushes for women wrestling FAR more than WWE does. However, Melina vs Michelle McCool was such an amazing match to watch tonight, Damn Melina can move alright. I have a lot of respect for women that can actually wrestle (the four names I mentioned above) rather than prancing around and for show show.

From what I heard, Jeff's contract ends on Friday.

Oh my god if they have Jericho and Show as champs for more than a few more weeks, I'll vomit. I don't want to see Show ruining Jericho's awesome run (he's the best heel in the wrestling biz, period).

Yes, but it'll be a loooooooooooooooooooong time until Edge comes back, at LEAST winter 2010. He had a very serious injury, but this is no surprise. Edge has been one hell of a heel and wrestler. He wrestled more times than any other super stars in the business. He got a lot of prop for that. I'm not happy about Big Show being Jericho's partner, but I am very glad that he was taken out of the US Title match anyway. He doesn't belong there.

[red.]

Now that Christian has been mentioned, i think it will be a disappointment if it was anyone else.

Let down :(

And WTF was up with the ordering of the card? IC match after the WWE title match?

[Rappy Veteran]
