Yeah, injuries/wellness violations can't be avoided and I don't cry foul over stuff like that. We all know that Orton was likely headed to a match with Barrett at Mania until he got injured but I feel they could have come up with something more compelling than a fued with Kane.

Also, I feel like they bring too many guys up and have nothing for them in the long term. Hunico had a great start as the imposter Sin Cara but then the real Cara got injured and Hunico ended up in a pointless little fued with DiBiase and then on Superstars duty. Jinder Mahal had something fairly interesting setup with Khali but that ended and, well, nothing. Brodus Clay, Lord Tensai and now Ryback have been/are on the right end of Squash Matches right now but I fear that they won't have much/anything planned longterm.

I've mixed emotions about Damien Sandow, he as an interesting character but I'm not convinced they have anything of substance for him to do when he finally debuts.

I'd rather they went back to the 'old school' booking, work out how the angle starts and how/when you want it to end and go from there, at least theres a plan you can work with if something unexpected happens. The stop/start booking doesnt help either really.

The Kane feud could have been fine had they based it around Kane's last match without the mask. Cole mentioned during Kane's entrance at WrestleMania that the Orton match and the ensuing handshake on that Smackdown before Kane left was the match that made Kane realize how "normal" he had become. All I could think was "You're mentioning this NOW!? This feud has been completely pointless and that was just sitting in your back pocket to mention during his entrance!? lol"

And yeah, I'm kinda worried Sandow is gonna fizzle out too.

The fact that they've done the whole "I became too human"/"I'm a monster" schtick with Kane so many times before (aka every time he turns heel) doesn't help.

Kade Callous?

It seems like Lembit will do anything though. He's now booked to be in a Tag Match on 2nd June.

Damien Sandow : "Tonight I make my debut, in a sea of mediocre one line, one dimensional people, cheered by a throng of ignorant fans, but I shall prove why I am"

*Cena's music hits*

Cena : Damien Sandow? More like Damien Blowshard! Here at the WWE Universe we dont take that kind of talk!

Damien Sandow : I will hurt you jonathan, come to the ring!

Cena comes to the ring.

*ding*

Cole : CENA! CENA WITH THE AA!

Lawler : Sandow blocks it! Im telling you Cole, this Sandow guy is pretty good!

Cole : STF! STF! STF!

Sandow taps in 1 second.

Cena gives Sandow a wedgie and leaves.

Lance Storm looking like Hornicane.

Wow. Lance went from looking like Henry Rollins to Michael Stipe!

Speaking of the Nexus: during last week's RAW with Cena v Otunga- I had to sit back a moment and say "Damn, these two were once Tag Team Champions."

They've already done it with this current version I think. So since that's already out of the way, I figure if he's gonna feud with the last guy who beat him as "a human" and they're gonna mention the link between the two in passing, you might as well make the feud about it. Add some history behind it. It would have made it feel less "thrown together".

Stormicane

YES!

LOL Paul Bearer

So, the obvious question.

Who goes around chanting NO! all the time, so we can have a "YES!/NO!"-off

Yea, good luck keeping him a heel now WWE.

Well, to be fair, England usually is another one of those countries where the fans 'get into it'. Once they're back to America the yes chants will probably die down again.

Don't think it'll ever be as awesome as that Raw in Miami. :(

AJ is one of those women that gets better looking every time you see her.

I dont get the love for AJ, I dont think shes good looking at all.

You are a gay though.

THINK I'LL TEAR DOWN MY TOP GUY'S CAREER JUST TO PROVE TO THAT MONGOLOID, @DANAWHITE THAT I AM, IN FACT, GOD. WATCH AND LEARN ASSHOLE.

Yup.

I have liked Jericho lately, and the WM match was amazing. But I still stand by my statement that his return underwhelmed me. Hes been great, but the Cryptic videos and statements seemed to be leading somewhere, and then were just like FORGET THAT SHIT.

Dunno. Oh well. Im jut glad he and punk's feud has picked up.

Those R-Sleuth segments were totally useless. Led nowhere. Not even a funny or amusing joke or anything. Just literally led nowhere.

Big Poppa Pump ‏ @ScottSteiner Close
When hogan attacked Kurt Angle(who was the Tna champion at the time)both professionally n personally

Big Poppa Pump ‏ @ScottSteiner Close
That really crossed the line,and pissed alot of wrestlers off,saying kurt had two left feet is ridiculous considering

Big Poppa Pump ‏ @ScottSteiner Close
He is an Olympic Champion,kurt has two beautiful young children and for hogan to say anything about them is bullshit

Big Poppa Pump ‏ @ScottSteiner Close
Karen ripped him a new asshole and all he could say was im sorry i got tongue tied. WTF "tongue tied"

Big Poppa Pump ‏ @ScottSteiner Close
The next day at tv's everybody thought kurt was going to kick hos ass but lucky for hogan kurt is a laid back guy

Big Poppa Pump ‏ @ScottSteiner Close
And could care less what hogan says or does,so im in the locker rm with kurt and a couple other guys

Big Poppa Pump ‏ @ScottSteiner Close
And hogan comes in and stays by the door not coming all the way in,im thinking why isnt he coming in its not like he could

Big Poppa Pump ‏ @ScottSteiner Close
Outrun anybody,and he asks kurt if everything is cool,kurt half laughs and says yeah,I look at hogans

Big Poppa Pump ‏ @ScottSteiner Close
Hands and they're shaking worse than a parkinison patient feeding birds at the park

Big Poppa Pump ‏ @ScottSteiner Close
He asks kurt about 5x if everything is cool and then leaves,and we bust out laughing,typical hogan what a fucking cunt

Would be excellently retarded if it wound up that this whole Steiner thing was a worked shoot put together by Russo.

I don't think Scotty gets the whole 140 characters thing.

Although I'm sure he can use some mind-bending maths to explain how he does in fact use 140 characters.

Love Steiner more and more everytime he speaks

What did Hogan say about Kurt? Also...this should be the number one story in TNA as it is awesome.

Can't decide if that's a lad or not.

Fixed.

That too

Definitely a lad.
