Mickie James vs. Trish Stratus was the best feud in the history of any womans division ever. Too bad they went and ruined Mickie James with a generic personality.

Huge news update regarding Bobby Heenan from today's WO site news update - http://www.wrestlingobserver.com/wo/....asp?aID=21572

--Bobby Heenan is undergoing major surgery tomorrow. They will be taking bone from both his shin and thigh and using it to reconstruct a new jaw, because his jawbone was destroyed by radiation therapy in treating his throat cancer. The surgery is major enough that after completion, they will have to put him in a coma for several days.

Hopefully everything goes well for him and that he can both get out of that coma and recover fully from the operation. Also, a Congressional hearing on pro wrestling will be held on 1/23, which is no. 2, behind baseball, as a sport that Congress will be looking at. Jake Roberts is also in a nine-week WWE-paid rehab program, making him the first person covered by the WWE policy to pay for rehab for any past worker who needs it.

Wrestling if fucked, period. See Mitchell report if you doubt me.

just shut up already.

Dyne, I'm telling the truth.

LOL @ Knuckleball Schwartz

That was the worst fucking over-the-top-rope brawl I've ever seen. When the best guy there is Steve Blackman, it's time to change the channel. WWE honestly couldn't come up with a better way to spend 10 minutes on its anniversary show?

[Othello Harrington]

Don't worry Melf, if you think the Government cracked down on MLB, wait until you see what they do with the unregulated steroid pit that is wrestling. The WWE will be lucky to get through it. Society loves baseball and hates wrestling, the writing is on the wall.

[Drewbacca]

Probably good for CM Punk I'd imagine.

WWE could easily be hurt a lot by the Congressional investigations, but since they at least have a policy, and TNA doesn't, and has a habit of hiring people fired by WWE for drug problems (like Kip James and Kurt Angle) I could see TNA being completely killed by them.

After this week's Impact, which featured a number of game show segments and very little wrestling, I almost welcome the death of TNA, except that Impact is so perversely entertaining that I know I'll miss it once the company's dead. Next week's show might be even more absurd, because it's got the following matches "Christ Chaos", "Reindeer Ladder", "Double North Pole", and a "Santa Helper Knockout Streetfight". TNA didn't bother explaining what any of these things are, instead, we're supposed to tune in at the prospect of MORE GIMMICK MATCHES ON IMPACT. Hooray!

so you prefer what the WWE feeds it's fans? at least TNA is entertaining.
