All tag teams in WWE are whack. Then all they superstars leftover in "singles competition" aren't fit for tagging. They should just lose the tag belts considering Cryme tyme was the only tag keeping things alive. I suppose Morrison and truth do well, but it hasn't been long enough to tell. Well, I seem to find only Yoshi Tatsu and Goldust with Morrison and Truth as the only good teams. I don't like Batista that much nor do I enjoy Rey that much, but their tag team was kind of cool. Although nothing will beat Viva La Raza! Too bad Eddies gone and Chavos a chump now. =/ The thing that made me twitch was Khali and Matt hardy, I mean really? Screw that. Bring back the Hardy boyz, The Newage Outlaws, Kendrick and london and The brood. D:<

[The Hulk Hogan]

almost half of those guys are in TNA

christian being a jobber is horrendous. Captain Charisma needs to get back on top.

[GLB]

Yeah well Tna, is kind of meh, IMO

[KPT25]

Expect a lot of Smackdown superstars on Raw this week,as most of the Raw stars are actually stuck in UK due to the ban on flights.Tonight should be an interesting Raw,unless they decide to tape stuff to air tonight

[B-5]

wow i thought all this was cancelled.

[Space (DCL)]

Well I saw RAW lats week only to see the Eve Torres vs Maryse match. I was expecting the same thing again as Maryse always somehow manages to win but I was surprised to see Eve turn it around and pin Maryse and win the Diva's Championship. I'm glad something has changed, finally.

Well RAW is gonna be a little bit different tonight so I expect some real wrestling instead of crappy wrestling.

[KPT25]

Great opening segment featuring CM Punk and HHH.
If it wasn't because there's still one more Smackdown to be aired,i'd say Punk might win at Extreme Rules(which i sadly doubt):He had part of his hair shaved by Rey Mysterio when CM Punk wanted to shave HHH's head
Still,it set up a possible angle with those two if Punk gets drafted to Raw

On the other hand,i wonder who the hell had the stupid idea of not making the title change at a PPV...no wonder why TNA gets such slow ratings no matter what happens

[.Batzarro.]

Watching Raw right now as I type. Only thing I'm wondering is why Taker keeps wearing his bath robe down to the ring.

[D.Magician(Ky)]

to me, Raw sucked last night, except for the part where Triple H makes fun of the Big Show and also when Rey got some of CM Punk's hair, .

[ceefus]

i know im late to the party  but TNA Lockdown was actually pretty good    The kurt angle  ken anderson math was amazing   i was entertain   anybody saw lockdown

[gohan]

  t think that tna did a good thing bye having rvd win the title
but it should have been on a ppv but it was free this is the same thing that killed
wcw . and it was great match because rvd has never fought against aj styles

As for Raw. That was a garbage show. Although what would we expect with everyone from raw not being there. The CM Punk & Triple H opener was the only highlight. I like Triple H when he's being comedic, instead of trying to be all bad @$$. Screw " the game " angle bring back the comedy routine.

That killed me when Cm Punk said " It's just like how Shawn Michaels can be bald & you have hair "   

[KPT25]

yeah...that opening segment was pure gold...Raw was ok last monday

Meh, Triple H's comedy is pretty stale and lame since the whole PG Thing. Only time that I'd say he was truly funny since the whole "transformation" to PG would be the promo he cut on legacy where he was thinking about starting a new group. Other than that, I like the cool game. It's that persona that makes any confrontation he has with The Undertaker now so cool.


By the way, for any of you Puro fans, Is there anyone who knows a good website (in english preferebly ) where i could watch certain promotions like NJPW, CMLL, AAA, AJPW shows/matches? I just watched Tiger Mask IV vs Mistico and I'd definately like to see more =)

[KPT25]

that might be difficult,considering you are talking about promotions from regions that don't speak english as the main language(Japan,Mexico).I doubt there are english dubbed or subbed transmissions of those available,watching it on its original language is always better imo(reminds me of when i get re-runs of PPV's and RAW/Smackdown on here in spanish...i hate the commentary)

[JDubbs]

very sad breaking news to report:

Mickie James, Katie Lea Burchil, Kung Fu Naki, Jimmy Wang Yang, and Slam Master J have all been released today.


Saddest news of the day:
The Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin, released from WWE 

sad day for WWE fans everywhere

[.Batzarro.]

Seriously.? Damn it, man. Shelton was straight bad @ss they just never gave him a push. The closest thing to that was the time where he beat Triple H back to back, forgot how. Also had those amazing matches with Shawn. Hopefully TNA will take him up and show WWE how he could of been a major star.

Sucks about Mickie James too. Who the hell's making these decisions.?

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]

They must of lost their minds releasing shelton and mickie.

[KPT25]

From what i've been reading so far,Mickie did not have the best professional behaviour you would expect of someone who have held both Diva's championships over the last years.Being late for transportation over the last euro tour seems to be the drop that spilled the glass

[JDubbs]

I just dont understand wrestling nowadays. especially recently. First, Jack Swagger, a man who no one even really thought twice about, won the WHC, then Eve Torres wins the Divas championship over Maryse and not someone like Gail Kim, then Madison Rayne wins the Knockouts championship and Ditzy von Erich is 1/2 of the Knockouts tag champions, then RVD is the new TNA champion, then WWE gets rid of most of its cruiserweights and 2 of the most talented stars in Shelton Benjamin and Mickie James (who basically carried the already failing women's division), not to mention the fact that TNA is getting really desperate, and WWE is actually getting worse week after week regardless of what the ratings say

I share your pain. No more Gold Standard

[DARKTALBAIN]

Shelton benjamin released !!!!!   

I always hated that guy

Mickey James released 

Now that just sucks

[KPT25]

I only liked Shelton because of his in-ring skills,because honestly he had the personality of an action figure as far as mic skills go  
I never really cared about Mike Knox,good riddance to a useless big guy...scratch that,why didn't they get rid of Khali and kept Knox?

Despite all of these releases,there's an Extreme Rules PPV this sunday...
Updated card shows like this:

Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Title
Batista vs. John Cena

Extreme Rules Match for the World Heavyweight Title
Randy Orton vs. Jack Swagger

CM Punk's Hair on the Line
Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk

Street Fight
Sheamus vs. Triple H

Steel Cage Match
Edge vs. Chris Jericho

Extreme Makeover Match for the Women's Title (WTF is this?)
Beth Phoenix vs. Michelle McCool

Strap Match
Shad Gaspard vs. JTG

[.Batzarro.]

Yea, Shelton needed work on his character personality but he was amazing in the ring. I think the ability should be more important in a wrestler then talking, no.?

As far as the PPV coming up, looking forward to CM vs Rey and definitely Orton vs Swagger. They had a great match last time on Raw and I hope this match out does that one. The rest doesn't really matter.
