Michelle McCool and Layla El = AWESOME. Who woulda thought a former teacher and a former cheerleader would make such good heels? Seriously, they play the role perfectly. They remind me of the Ashleys from the show "Recess". =]

And yeah, Smackdown > RAW. Although it sucks that WWE broke up Cryme Tyme. WWE really needs to figure out what to do with the tag division.

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]

They need to bring back the hardcore belt.

[Space (DCL)]

What needs to comeback for WWE is...

1. Cruiser Weight Title
2. Hardcore Title
3. Blood
4. Better Diva's Division (All WWE has for Divas are just...models...)
5. TV-14

RAW is definitely dead now, why I remember during one episode, where that midget Hornswoggle around the time when he had this little feud with Chavo Guerrero, Micheal Cole stupidly said "This is what Monday Night RAW is all aboout Ladies and Gentlemen" and that's when it hit me...RAW is being run by a midget/leprechaun, a champ or chump who keeps getting title matches AND he cant even wrestle, and guest hosts just for a sorry excuse to get more ratings...

For those of you who have not heard already... Another professional wrestler has passed away... This time it was former WCW and WWE star Chris Kanyon also known as Mortis in WCW.

His death has been confirmed by Gregory "Hurricane" Helms' twitter and the myspace pages of TNA Knockout Tara and The Blue Meanie.

Chris Kanyon (a/k/a Christopher Klucsaritis) was found dead of an apparent suicide on Friday night. Although details are still sketchy, it is believed that he was in New York at the time of his death. A longtime friend reports that a pill bottle and several notes were found close to the body.

Kanyon also worked as the Mortis character in WCW and also had a run with WWE starting with the Invasion angle. He made headlines after his WWE run concluded by going public with his homosexuality. He appeared on the Howard Stern radio show several times as a result of his admission. Although he retired from wresting at one point, he had returned to the ring again recently and worked a couple of matches this year.

R.I.P. Mortis/Kanyon

That's crazy that he killed himself. 

[DrZaius]

He wouldn't be the first prowrestler to do so...

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]

Yea remember chris beniot.

R.I.P Mortis.

[DARKTALBAIN]

Just because I have heard it before doesn't make it any less shocking. That all I mean by that

[DrZaius]

Yea remember chris beniot.

R.I.P Mortis.

I think Mike Awesome also killed himself.  I think Test may have, too.

I think test died due to drug overdose.

This was an update on tests death from 2009, not sure if they had the most recent results, but...

"Andrew "Test" Martin, a former WWE wrestler, was found dead in his Tampa, Fla. apartment late Friday night, MyFOXTampaBay.com reported.

Neighbors called police after seeing the 33-year-old motionless over a span of several hours.

The cause of death wasn't immediately known, but police said foul play isn't suspected. An autopsy will be performed.

Martin joined the WWE in 1998 and won many of the organization's major titles before suffering a severe back injury, MyFOXTampaBay.com reported."

Apparently, he was not in WWF/WWE when he had died, he was taken out due to spinal fusion surgery.

It also said:

"He is the fourth ex-professional wrestler to die in the Tampa area in the past two years" This quote was from 2009, but that is still a shocker.

[JDubbs]

First Kanyon this weekend, then Daniels is released by TNA, whats next?

You're comparing death with being fire.? >.>

[JDubbs]

no im just saying catastrophic things that happened last week, granted being fired isnt nearly as bad. its still a huge loss for TNA

[ceefus]

WWE tag team division is slowly getting smaller and smaller  Cryme Tyme splitting as of last firday smakcdown Apirl 2 2010    there is only  ShowMiz and Hart Dynasty  only???   i guess  R Truth and Morrison replace Cryme Tyme    Where is the Tag Team Division??  TNA  has a better Tag Team Division     Beer Money  Team 3d   Motor City Machine Guns   Generation Me   Bristish Invasion   And yes  The Band  with Old man Nash and Hall

Fixed,WWE no longer has a true Tag Team division anymore...i don't get why they are so against having tag teams honestly

[DARKTALBAIN]

And yes  The Band  with Old man Nash and Hall

" The outsiders " rule

[ceefus]

" The outsiders " rule

DT  dont get me wrong   The Outsiders are Fan Favorites  NWO 4 Life  I get it   but  its not the same   Due to Age  only Six Pack is the only one putting on a good show   Scott Hall Kevin Nash will be always Hall of Fame Worthy  they paid thier dues   but  lets face it   The Outsiders  should stay OUTSIDE the ring  and manage a NEW Wolf pack   thats a better idea 

[Alexziq]

Sadly though Hall, and Nash dont wrestle much differant that they did 12 years ago. They were always accused of being lazy, and underpreforming even b4 the NWO thing. If Hall lost 15 pounds, and Nash would color his hair they probably would be exactly the same as they were. Of course Nash pops knees just from walking so he's always day to day.

I think I watched all of about 5 minutes of Raw last night. Triple H was complaining about bringing pipes to sledgehammer matches. I caught a second when batista was walking away from his match with Cena. So he was getting a new partner or something later on.

I pretty much watched TNA, does it always end an hour earlier than WWE? After TNA was over I just turned off the TV.

It just started a few weeks back so I am not sure. Last week I watched it on the DVR so I could see Hardy, and RVD against the Band, so I am not sure if it's over earlier. The 1st week it was on till 11.

I haven't turned on WWE in almost a year so I have no idea whats going on there. I know Shawn, and Taker are fight at Wrestlemania, so I will definately be getting that so I can watch the old men out preform, and blow away the rest of  the WWE

[ceefus]

Last Night Ladder Match with Mr Ken errr Anderson  and Kurt Angle was great   it was brutal  good match   RVD facing Storm  was decent   also
   

in WWE  The Match with Ted Dibiase and Christain was surprising  and  Randy Orton Swagger Fight was great also


all in all   Wrestling was good Last Night

That's what I am saying, the week Hogan came there, It ended at 11 like WWE. But this week it ended at 10. 

Dude, you missed wrestlemania. It was on like 2 weeks ago. Shawn always out performs anyone. Especially at Wrestlemania.

Shawn Michaels retired last week 

[Alexziq]

Oops well thats my fault for not watching WWE

I saw the preview on DVR this week probably not realizing it was already done.
