Hogan uses a leg drop as a finisher. How innovative is that?

Rey, for example, one of the most innovated wrestlers of the time, will be remembered for just that. Innovation. More so in his WCW days. But that's it.

Does Triple H have a lot of power that maybe wouldn't have gotten him where he is? May be so. But to say his HIAC matches with Undertaker and Foley were just "good"......Come on.

The match everyone most remembers is when he got screwed. That's it. The rest were all sharpshooters (not saying that's a bad thing)

There is also the submission match with Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13, but yeah, that's pretty much it.

...Speaking of HHH, he and John Cena are both being advertised to appear on TV at the first Smackdown after WrestleMania, in Boston. The word is that will be after a match with Brock Lesnar at Mania.

Austin made that match memorable, not Bret.

[red.]

What about the famous matches with Bulldog and Owen? He also had really great matches with Mr Perfect too. He was also the one who suggested the ladder match to Vince.

I'm not saying what he said about Triple H is exactly right but i don't think he should be dismissed as someone who had a couple of memorable matches.

[MightyJordan]

Just ordered myself one of those. :p You can get one here, but only until Monday. And for the Americans...

Tonight, TNA President Dixie Carter appeared on Bellator Fighting on SpikeTV, and made the following special announcements:

-Carter revealed that TNA just re-signed Jeff Hardy to a new, long-term deal.

-Carter revealed the following dates and locations for Impact road tapings:

March 14th in Chicago, Illinois at Sears Centre Arena

March 28th in Jonesboro, Arkansas at ASU Convocation Center

April 11th in Corpus Christi, Texas at American Bank Center

June 6th in Atlanta, Georgia at Gwinnett Center

Aww, crap. :pinch: I read yesterday WWE.com put up his alumni profile, so I was hoping he was on the way out of TNA.

Dixie Carter's been teasing the signing of another WWE superstar to TNA with a couple of hints...

"The surprise in June will be involving a new talent with the company. His WWE contract expires after Wrestlemania, and we just happened to pick him up," Carter said.

"One last hint. The newest member to the TNA roster, debuting in June, is a guy who will "slither and strike" when the time is right."

So yeah, a lot of people are thinking it's Randy Orton. I bet she's trolling though, and it's Santino Marella. :p

[episode]

I can't see either of those two going to TNA. Definitely not Orton.

Also, in what world is two years 'a long term deal'?

[MightyJordan]

Also, in what world is two years 'a long term deal'?

To my knowledge, the world of F1, and that's only if your name is either "Mark Webber" or "Felipe Massa". :p

Your European reference is lost on this American.

[MightyJordan]

Your European reference is lost on this American.

My apologies. The two drivers I mentioned have been on one-year contracts for the past few years, so to them, anything more would be long-term.

OK, back to wrestling...

I'm now kicking myself for not watching The JBL & Cole Show until this episode. Seriously, any Damien Sandow fans in here need to watch the above episode! :rofl:

DAMMIT MIZ!

At Saturday?s WWE house show in Springfield, Missouri it was said by people in the audience that CM Punk was shaken up during his match against The Miz. Apparently The Miz botched a stalling suplex on Punk, causing him to land awkwardly on his head. Officials checked Punk for several minutes but eventually Punk went on to continue the match.

A fan's posted pictures of The Miz's botch on CM Punk...

Apparently, CM Punk is ok, which is a relief.

That's Undertaker with Gnash, the official mascot of the Nashville Predators NHL team at last night's game against the Chicago Blackhawks. And RAW is live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville tonight, so most fans are putting two and two together and expecting him to return tonight.

[MightyJordan]

[LOC Veteran]

God he looks old like that. I mean, he's getting up there in years, and I still think his shaved head looks WEIRD on him. I just wonder if he can truly still go for a match (or two etc) or not...guess we'll find out soon enough.

Fandango?...LOL...LOL...OMG...Epic Fail.

That promo Dutch Mantel cut at WWE RAW last night was not of good taste. Talking about how he is American and how he wants the illegals to stay away from the U.S.A. That was very racist and something WWE should not have allowed, considering they have a campaign against bullying and they are a so-called "Family" show. Not a very good example to show children.

Agreed; some of Vince and Linda's Republican tendencies seem to be seeping through into the show again. Part of me is thinking it's meant to be a parody of the average Republican, especially with the name: Zeb Coulter. Personally, I'm more inclined to brand it xenophobic instead of racist, but that's just as bad, anyway. Saying that though, they were in Tennessee, a Republican state, and the crowd were booing that promo. Oh, does anyone see the irony in having a heel that's pro-American (Jack Swagger) and a heel that's anti-American (Antonio Cesaro) at the same time?

I get the feeling it's gonna end up like Muhammad Hassan: pulled off TV due to pressure from the network or from sponsors.

And now for something completely different...
