The Hickenbottom did pop me, but there was just something so dirty about the whole segment after you consider how unarguably amazing his feud with Taker was.

I would have to assume that that is part of the reason behind giving him so much time off, but I haven't forgot, and they still could've given him something better to return.

One has to remember that DX thrives on campy comedy segments; they don't have to ENTIRELY make a whole lot of sense when you're laughing too much to really give a rat's ass - like I was. :P Loved the Hickenbottom reference, and I'm sure all of you have also wanted to give your boss some Sweet Chin Music at one time...........about that, though: Is it just me, or did he deliver SCM on that little girl, too? Now THAT was a bit wrong.........but amusing.

I've obviously been confused on which of the remaining Hart Bros. was still alive.......you have to remember that I'm not as good on wrestling history as the rest of ya'.

Y'know, the whole "opponents for PPV forced to team up next week" thing is getting rather old.......but regardless, that RKO from off of Cena was really awesome. I'm just sad that Jericho wasn't allowed to win in his '2nd home'.....and that he had to alienate some of his fans beforehand - I know he's a heel, but come on, I haven't heard cheering like that for him in some time. Hey, at least he cut off the damn 5-Knuckle Shuffle for once.

The Sarge played his role well enough.

It didn't make ANY sense is the problem. WWE basically fast forwarded to the ending of a story they never told. See, you want to do what they did last night? Then you need to set something up where you make it clear to the audience that Shawn Michaels quit the company or some such. Far as I recall, he just stopped appearing on TV post-Mania, ditto Taker. We got like a week or two to tell us Shawn had left wrestling to go be a friggin fry cook which why the hell walk away from the money and what not? Ugh the more I think about it the more it gives me an actual headache.

Yeah, I know; the more I thought about it last night, the more I realized how much fail the setup was.........but it still delivered what it was supposed to - a laugh.

DX has never made any sense, its 40 year old men acting like teenagers.
I remember them working a hotdog cart.
You look around on the wrestling websites it is was most peoples favourite part of raw.
It was funny, that's enough for most.

I saw HHH on the late night show with Jimmy Fallon last night. Not a bad apperance. He admitted he had no idea what twitter was and said a few funny things about it. He plugged the reuniting of DX and Summer Slam as well as the new video game where you can download Jimmy Fallon as a character. Not a bad apperance, though his segment was pretty short in comparrison to the other stuff.

So William Regel is the #1 contender for the ECW title. I think him and Christian can do some impressive work together.

Regal is almost as bad as dreamer, Hopefully after this feud one of the new wrestlers will have stepped up enough above the rest of his class to compete for the title.
The deciding factor of who comes out on top between Christian/Regal should be if that new wrestler is a heel or face.

I can't see the point of having two established stars feuding on ECW, They should be feuding against the newer wrestlers.

Whoa, hang on, you think William Regal is a bad wrestler? One of the best mat technicians in the company? Someone who can cut a great heel promo when necessary? Someone who's always done his best to put the other guy over? Nope, I think you're mistaken I'm afraid. Wellness violations aside, there's no denying that Regal's one talented guy. You may not find him entertaining, but you surely can't deny his abilities in the ring.

I would not say teenagers....but they seem to just do almost childish things. And then do some things a adult drunk would do...

Do you blame them though...everything else on the show is just so stale and is just not entertaining anymore. When DX comes back it's like omg i want to watch raw. For me thats how it was, i had not watched raw in 3 weeks and then when i heard about shawn comming back i decided to make time to watch raw...he just makes the show worth watching.

It was funny, that's enough for most.

It was funny, but predictable. They need to give both of them creative control over this little feud, because as shown in the past both of them have a good idea of what we want to see and hear.

I'm saying he's boring, slow and not at all entertaining.
I don't want to watch him, especially on PPV or in a mainevent even on ECW.
Put him in the midcard against young talent, sure, perfect.
This feud seems pointless.

I think Regal is a good wrestler, and he can pull off some good promos.. and who knows.. he could be a future Hall of Famer one day.. but many of my friends describe him as bland and uninteresting and in one way, i agree with them.
ECW is the right place for him, he does deserve a good ECW title run.

I don't know about that. Regal is damn good for sure but I think his glory days are well behind him. He's messed up too many times for the WWE to have full confidence in him. Still, if they were to give him a title run, I guess the ECW title would be the best.

I never seem to have the time to watch ECW these days (which is stupid because I find time for Raw) so I'm not to bothered about Regal getting the title. Personally however, I wouldn't put it on him. I like him as a worker, but not as a performer as of late. Back in the commissioner era when he had Tajiri by his side he was gold but not so much since then.

Since ECW is the development brand, I feel moving the title from Christian to Regal is kind of pointless. Have Christian keep the strap and Regal put someone new over before that person goes on to fued over the belt. I'd love to see Evan Bourne getting a run with the title, in what I think would be an excellent match against Christian. Too bad he's been moved to Raw, especially since according to a few sources there was talk of giving Bourne the strap shortly before SciFi became SyFi. I think he's have hit the ground running with it.

I forgot to mention about RAW earlier: Nice little trick the writers pulled to 'bring Miz back in'..........although at the expense of bringing EUGENE back for a night...........

Decent entrance, too, with the smog machine & trap door.

At least for one match, it looked like Goldust found the fountain of youth. His match against Sheamus on Superstars was his best match in ages. He also seems to be in the best he's been since his first run as Goldust. Good for him, as people tend to forget that he's actually a solid hand in the ring.

John Morrison vs DH Smith wasn't as good as the Morrison/Kidd matches, but it was still Smith's best match of his young career (By far). It has to be said... Morrison might just be the best in-ring performer in WWE at the moment. Can't even remember the last time he had a sub-par match.

The ME (Mickie & Kofi vs Rosa & Carlito) was just there. I'm just hoping that with Carlito pinning Kofi this all leads to a feud between the two (Since Kofi has been doing nothing for the past couple of months).

I'd like to see those matches. I'll have to see if there are on wwe.com.

An interseing bit I found on wrestlezone.com:

WWE stars Chris Jericho and The Great Khali are set to shoot a few scenes for the upcoming film "MacGruber," which stars Will Forte and is based on the popular Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name. IMDB.com is reporting that the film is set to be released on April 16th, 2010.

Recording artist MC Hammer posted the following on his Twitter account today: "WWE ??? MN RAW ?? HAMMERTIME??? hmmmmm???"

MC Hammer? Really? If that happens...wow. talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel huh?

Punk vs Morrison from tonight's SD=Yet another great tv match for the blue brand.

Probably their best match together (And that's saying a lot). Also, keep an eye out for Punk's elbow right after the match ends. JR makes mention of it, but its little things like that elbow that make Punk even more of a dick.

I'll say it once again.. I can't believe that the same company that produces the crap that is called RAW, also makes such an awesome show in SD.

Breaking: WWE Releases Eugene Again
Posted in: WWE News on Aug 14, 2009 - 3:14:42 PM

Just days after he made his first return appearance on WWE television, Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore has been released from the company.

"WWE has come to terms on the release of WWE Superstar Eugene as of August 14, 2009. We wish Eugene the best in all future endeavors," read a WWE.com statement.

Eugene wrestled a masked The Miz in a "contract on a pole" match that determined who would become part of the RAW roster. Miz won the match, but few would have figured that Eugene's failure to capture the contract would be his final WWE appearance

are they really making a MacGruber movie?... lol what could they do with it? it's just the same joke in every sketch.. though i do find them quite funny... i might give it a chance.

MC Hammer? Really? If that happens...wow. talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel huh?

couldn't of said it any better myself.

WWE issued the following statement today:

Statement on Linda McMahon and the United States Senate

Linda McMahon, CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, is considering a run for the United States Senate representing the state of Connecticut. Should she decide to run, Linda would step down as CEO, and Vince McMahon would assume the duties of CEO in addition to his current position as WWE Chairman.

weird.

I think they are keeping Eugene are a trainer. It just seems weird to hire a guy then fire him a little while later.

SD was great last night. Match of the night goes to Morrison/Punk hands down. They were pulling off some great offense and really make it look like the match meant something.

I'm suprised Matt Hardy is returining so soon. I just hope he isn't pushing himself too hard and coming back not fully healed.

Does anyone feel like Kane was pulling a Joker last night? It was creepy I'll give him that.

After what feels like a few weeks stright of losing the Hart Foundation gets a win. The 6 man tag should be interesting next week. Lots of talent in that match.

I'm slightly ashamed.

But not really.

man.. i remember reading that wwe weren't sure about goldust's spot in wwe

fuck.. if wwe aren't convinced that goldust is a good wrestler to have on board after his match on Superstars.. heads will roll
man that goldust chant during the match (you probably know which one i'm talking about) was one of a biggest most loudest chants i've heard in a long while, i also noticed that not only did he get the win, but he was also getting his fair share of offense in (you can always tell if he's been in a good evened match judging by how much face paint he has left on his face after the match) AND also wasn't playing up on his comic relief material during the match.

I think this match was a sink or swim position for goldust... and i think he swam like a fucking sea otter

yes, i've been drinking.

According to a criminal report filed in Pittsburgh today, Kurt Angle has been arrested and is currently in the Allegheny County Jail. There was an altercation at the home of Kurt Angle involving Angle and girlfriend Trenesha Biggers, aka TNA's Rhaka Khan. Biggers went to police and filed a protection from abuse order against Angle, and police came and removed Angle from the home this morning.
At around 8AM, Biggers called police again, stating that Angle was stalking her. She had gone to a Starbucks to use the internet, and told police that Angle had her phone and had been circling the parking lot. She claimed Angle was deleting photos from the phone, which were described as "pictures of abuse".

Angle was questioned by police, under suspicion of DUI, and when they searched the vehicle, they found used syringes and two vials of HGH. Angle claimed that he had a prescription for the medication, and could provide that to police.

Angle is currently awaiting arraignment on the following charges:

* Driving while operating privileges suspended
* Prohibited acts
* Possession
* Harassment

Angle is scheduled to defend the TNA Title tomorrow night at the Hard Justice PPV in Orlando, Florida.

This is totally shocking as far as I'm concerned. I had no idea that TNA had a PPV tomorrow night >_>

Man that is so weird. Angle has really fallen far from what he used to be. I wonder if TNA is going to drop him for this or what? What the hell is his problem anyway?

Starting this week I can watch ECW again. My school and work times changed in that favor. Now I can see some of these new guys who I have been hearing about.

WWE.com has 2 separate profiles for Gregory Helms

one is just the backstage announcer profile, and the other is for The Hurricane

lol i think thats pretty cool

Agreed. Such a fall from grace...

It will be interesting to see how this turn of events affects Jeff Jarret's status in TNA Creative.

WTF, KURT?

I missed SD (I overslept.........); I can catch it on Hulu, right?

Kurt Angle retained the TNA title tonight.

I think that says a hell of a LOT about what kind of an entity TNA is. Angle is unstable and frankly, I'm just waiting to hear he's died at this point and pray he doesn't take anyone with him. I hope I'm wrong and he gets some fucking help but it seems like all he's surrounded by right now are enablers. As long as that's true, the story of Kurt Angle will be just another chapter in the big book of "wrestlers of our generation that should be remembered as all time greats...but will sadly be remembered for how their lives were tragically short".

TNA really needs to move away from Kurt Angle on top and mandate him to get some help. I'll happily retract this if Angle is in fact as innocent as his lawyer claims, I will happily retract my statements, but at least two of these charges are pretty easy to prove a guilt or non-guilt situation, the stalking bit might be more difficult. If Angle is found guilty I hope jail time and rehab will be prescribed, he needs to bottom out before he gets better, and TNA needs to stop enabling his bad behaviors. Especially since this situation involves another member of their roster.

The situation with Angle baffles me. TNA should have had him lose the title and checked him into rehab or at the very least take him off TV for a little while. What does that say about the company if they are willing to have a guy who just got arrested still be the one to represent them?

Freddie Prinze Jr is tonights guest...Wasn't he a writer for WWE for a while? I think he ended up leaving the job he had. Weird that the bring him back for this.

It says that Dixie Carter has her lips permanently attached to Angle's lips. The funny thing is Hernandez won a match last night to regain what's pretty much a Money in the bank briefcase. He won the match in 9 seconds, and it looked like they were going to have him cash it in and win the title. Of course, TNA decided to "swerve the fans" by having Kurt retain... Not realizing that it was a STUPID DECISION!

I'm hoping that they do something during this week's Impact tapings to take the belt away from Angle, but I wouldn't count on it.

As for Freddie Prinze.. I just don't care. I'm just tired of seeing the guest hosts pretty much overshadow the important things. You know, LIKE THAT PPV WWE HAS COMING UP THIS WEEK!
