Lita is the queen of botched moves and spots. As soon as she took off to do the plancha, all I could think to myself was "she's gonna fuck that up somehow." Ever seen her flying headscissors? Terrible. She uses the move as a main move in her arsenal and she can barely do it right. Her moonsault is reckless and dangerous to those that take it and she often times misses that as well. She has a terrible voice, poor acting skills, YES HER BOOBS ARE VERY FAKE, and while it's not her fault...her character is completely ruined.
The only thing Lita has going for her is that she is very over. The crowd loves her for some reason I'll never know. It just sucks that the Women's title got such a big push around the same time they release two of the best women wrestlers in the world and another that had potential and hire all these Diva Search contestants that NOBODY cares about. Victoria and Molly are the workhorses of the Women's division while Lita and Trish have the characters. Stacy is an afterthought as she isn't trained to wrestle. Gail Kim, Jazz, and Nidia were not smart releases. Now with only 4 legit women wrestlers they finally decide to push the belt?
TNA is so close to being WCW circa '96-'97 storyline wise. They had this whole "We're taking over" group everyone knew as the nWo in WCW and now TNA has this incredibly watered-down "Kings of Wrestling" group. WCW had the Cruiserweight division...TNA has the X-Division. No one could get along backstage. Both brought in big names to remedy their lack of star power yet ended up (or in TNA's case will end up...) pissing off the originals and the workhorses. Think Kid Kash, Michael Shane and Frankie Kazarian like the fact that they are now further down the pecking order after busting their ass to help get TNA where it is now only to have Nash, Hall, Jarrett and Savage get all the glory? Then you got these decently big stars who get a huge push but suddenly get the carpet yanked out from under them. The main two I can think of are, first, Raven, and now Jeff Hardy. Such huge buildup in the beginning for these two and now both are floundering and don't try to convince me Jeff Hardy still means something since he's in the main TNA fued right now...all he is there for is so Nash and Hall have somebody who's decently credible who can bump around for them.
Anyway on to something positive...Petey Williams is still the X-Division champion. This guy is so good that you may boo him but you don't exactly want him to lose the belt just yet. And even though I hate AMW and love XXX, maybe now Christopher Daniels will get that singles push they hinted at back when they teased a Daniels/Jarrett fued before Jarrett ran off and tried to start that angle with Hogan that has still not paid off. Elix Skipper should be Petey Williams next challenger.
Eddie Guerrero/Booker T/Undertaker Vs JBL/OJ/The Bashams.
The Show looks MUCH better than last weeks show. Theres a Cruiserweight Battle Royal to determin the #1 Contender for the title at Armageddon. Awesome.
Erm...Lita has wrestling talent? We're talking Lita as in Amy Dumas right? Miss Congeniality? Angelica? Matt Hardy's girlfriend, Kane's storyline wife?

Lita is falling off of my hot chicks list now after reading about her having a boob job.I can see if your someone like Paris Hilton...she should gain weight .I think the reason why alot of people like Lita over the rest of the divas is because she has a diffrent look and attitude than the rest of the Divas.I haven't seen her matches lately but I see what you mean story wise.

TNA is ok, and I agree with you about it being like WCW. That's why I like to call TNA WCW light! Both companies have so much in common, right down to allot of the same wrestlers. But there are allot of differences as well. Where WCW had large financial support, TNA does not, and where WCW never pushed guys who aren't already established (sounds like WWE now!), TNA always trys to establish new talent, and give older vets a chance to re-vamp their careers. I don't know how long TNA is going to last, but if they keep going the way they are now, and eventually start to do house-shows, and get a tv deal up here in Canade, the they could be around for a long time.
"You see, I face a whole new Monster!! I face a man, who represents, the Nintendo Entertainment System..."
I just got done reading an interview with Jamie noble and damn, I miss that dude. Same with Gail Kim and Nidia. Sigh. Well, I guess noble is on TNA's Friday show, so I'll peep that goodness.
Puder and that MTV tool for the boxing match? Damn, Justice was fly. I liked puder for a long time, but now I'm not so sure. I think it was kind of funny how Puder was called out about his UFC "career" lol. I wasn't sure how many people knew wtf was actually going on with that. Puder fought in, I think like, one UFC match, lol. He won, however. Not sure about other MMA events. Puder is definately trained, though. Mazanin is going to get fucking owned...and owned hard.
I still miss Gail Kim, too. That talented, original sweet, lucious korean ass. Too good. Meh, back to downin' asian porn.

LOL! GD that was good!
Here's who I think will win:
1)WWE Title match: Taker, and he better win, I'll be so pissed. The man might be retiring soon, so he deserves one last hurrah with the title, and a long reign at that!
2)US Title Hardcore match: Cena all the way! Jesus is nothing more than a loser and a jobber, who shouldn't even get this match!
3)Big Show will win his match
4)WWE Tag Titles: I don't really care about SD's tag division, and think they should just drop it, but I'll say Rey and RVD will retain!
5)Don't care about Charlie Hass/Dawn Marie/Jackie crap, waste of tv time.
6)WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Another title I think the WWE should drop, but I'll say Spike, cause the other Dudley's will interfere!
7)Dixie Dogfight Boxing Match? Are they fucking shitting me with this crap? Who's bright idea was this? Didn't WWE learn anything with that stupid "Brawl for all" crap? Wrestling and boxing don't mix.
"You see, I face a whole new Monster!! I face a man, who represents, the Nintendo Entertainment System..."
Is it just me, or does anyone else enjoy Kenzo? That dude, is funny as hell. His facial expressions are priceless. A few weeks ago he jumped into the ring and tripped over the ropes, lol. He's great.
I hope Monty Brown gets the belt sometime soon. Also, it seams that the TNA editing crew are the same peeps from WCW, lol. The editing style and presentation is almost identical, lol.
Yeah, ever sence Kenzo Susuki has tooken a more comedy approch I've enjoyed him ever sence. that guy cracks me up everytime hes on TV. I couldn't stop laughing on SmackDown! when he was on the ring apron doing the french tickler along with Rene who was in the ring LOL!. and yeah, when he tripped in the ring lol!. and hes actually a pretty decent wrestler with a kick ass entrance theme.
Sooo, the only titles on SmackDown! you think should have are the WWE title and the US title? thats it? isn't that a big slap on the face to all the wrestlers under the US title and the Cruiserweights? despite what you think of the Tag titles and Cruiser title. SD! needs them.
The point I'm trying to make, and I guess I should have stated it it, that there are no good tag teams on SD, so just scrap the titles, and there are only ever 4 main Cruiserweights that fight for the title, so WWE should either move Tajiri and the Hurricane back to SD and bring up more Cruiserweights for the division, or just drop the belt period, I get sick of always seeing the same ones get the belt. BTW, how is dropping both of these belts a slap in the face to the guys under the US title? If there's no Cruiserweight title, then those guys can go for the US title.
I should also add that as far as the Raw side goes, they should also drop the Tag titles (I mean, how many more fucking times can we put up with La french faggets Resistance?), cause there are no good tag teams there either, and the Woman's title they could do with out. No before anyone bites my head off over this, look at the facts; Lita, Trish, Molly, and Victoria have each held the title about a half a dozen times already, the WWE fired all the other good fighters (Jazz, Nidia, Gail Kim), and we sure as hell no that neither Kristie Hemme or Stacy Keibler are going to fight for the belt, so they should just do away with it, the Diva division is a joke.
So these are my opinions and I stick by them! There is also another solution that some of you may prefer, rather than drop both sets of tag titles, re-merge the rosters and use only the titles that matter, one World title, the IC title, the US title, and one set of Tag titles. WWE does not need so many useless title belts.

Smackdown Vs. Raw for Playstation 2 has gotten such rave reviews, that many are looking to release it on X-Box as well. For Gamecube users, SVR will not be released for you simply because X-Box and PS2 have online capablities. Expect SVR to be released on X-Box before Wrestlemania 21.
Huge News: WWE To Sue TNA?; Details Inside:
As it is probably known by everyone, TNA invaded a shooting of a WWE commercial of Royal Rumble. While on set, TNA wrestlers and officials recorded the interaction between the two. WWE promptly released a press release that if TNA were to air the footage, they would be sued.
Last night at TNA Turning Point, TNA went ahead and decided to air the footage.
As of right now, it is most likely that WWE will go with its claims to sue TNA for if not, they will lose face for making a threat and not following up with it.
The sum of money that WWE will sue for is unknown, but no matter what, TNA is most likely unable to pay it. For those who do not know, TNA has been in the hole in terms of money for the better part of 2 years, and right now, are making no profit. The money to pay for a WWE lawsuit will be the death of TNA and Vince McMahon will have conquered another competitor.
More on this as it unfolds.
"You see, I face a whole new Monster!! I face a man, who represents, the Nintendo Entertainment System..."
If TNA goes down becuase of this, it would be a shame. It would probably be one of the most retarded and ill advised "marketing decisions" ever made in wrestling history.
Ya, I was watching Impact and they were showing bits of that footage. I thought it was great stuff, but really, realy stupid. WTF is TNA thinking? Really, you don't do that shit, lol. So if TNA does go down, we have ROH? I can't ever seam to find the luchadors on the spanish channel, EVER. When I do it's hella random. I'm really worried about this, honestly.

TNA is over. I have $10 saying that Vince Russo is behind this. Sure he's gone, but who's to say he didn't call in one last favor to Dusty Rhodes, just to sink another promotion.

The winner by lawsuit, and STILL Champion: Vince McMahon and his crack creative team!

Vince Russo: The Black Death of Professional Wrestling
I highly doubt that Russo has anything to do with this whole thing. The "leaders of TNA are the ones that are digging their promotion's grave over this. But hey, if Vinnie Mac puts these guys out to pasture, just think of some of the new and amazing guys that he'll gain? The TNA X Division stars will give the failing WWE Cruiserweight Division the boost it needs, as well as all the new tag teams that would come in.
DamRho, I'm not sure if Lesner is coming back or not. I tend to not pay much attention to reports like that. The net has been saying the same bs since he left the WWE. As far as I know, he joined NFL Europe to get more football training, to take another run at joining his home team the Vikings.
Did anyone catch Impact?I give this weeks show an 3 out of 5.It was entertaining watching the matches but nothing really went on the story side.The AMW match was impressive.Dusty Rhodes messed up when he was talking:

I was browsing the ROH shop and there's a vid titlel "The Best of Paul London - Please Don't Die!!" lol, i have got to pick that shit up.
Is ROH only on a certain cable? Because I can't seem to find it anywhere.
I got it from Gamefaqs.Taken from Game Informer:
StoryMode - In storymode you start off in the 3 indi arenas the you get signed by the WWE to work on Velocity. You must work you way up the rank til you reach WrestleMania21.(the storymode is not neverending like Raw2) All superstars ar voiced over and entrances were mocaped by their real life counterparts. Even created superstars have voiceovers in storymode to add to the realism. Raw and Smackdown commintators are voiced over with about 50% more than SvsR.
Drfatality Comments:Sounds like DOR.They might pull it off this time though.
There are now 2 grapple buttons, which greatly increase the amount of moves in a superstars arsenal. The first grapple button locks up your opponent for powerful slams, throws, and other damaging moves, while the second slaps on submission hold. As is traditional in wrestling titles. The direction pressed on the D-Pad in conjuction with the grapple button determines the move performed, as does the lenghtof the button press itself. The addition of a second grapple buttonthus results in a huge move set for each playable character.
DF Comments:In Depth=Great.
On-Line - All match types in the game are said to be playable online with up to 4 players.(on-line Hell in a Cell anyone)Titles can be defended on-line and if you lose your belt the onlyway to get it back is to win it from whoever has it at the time. You will be able to veiw both the history and the appearances of the belts you have won.
DF Comments:What happens if that person gets cut off of Xbox Live?It's alot better than SVR's Online Play.I heard in SVR you could only play Single Matches.
==============================================
Hopefully WM21 will deliver.I don't want another Raw.Thats good news about SVR coming to Xbox.THQ should do what EA does with the Madden games.Have the SD games multi platform.
Vince Mcmahn acts like he never invaded WCW.Does anyone remember that time DX went to WCW Nitro???Vince should take it like a man instead of running to the judge.Why dosen't he FIGHT BACK!!???If I had a slacking show(WWE) like Vince and another company like TNA came and tried taking shots at me.I would get back on my A game and show them that im not out and stay like that until the day it all ends.What im saying is Vince should bring the WWE up creative and wrestling wise.Not this soap opera/soft core porn/all of those other dumb gimmicks.I lost all respect I had for Vince after reading that.

The best thing for the WWE to do is to just ignore them. Giving TNA any kind of exposure won't be good for bisniess for the WWE and even TNA. Right now, half the WWE Audience probably don't even know that TNA even exsist. And I'am sure the WWE wants to keep it that way. Besides, TNA is in no way in WWE's league right now, and arn't as big as WCW were, or even ECW. and from what I'am reading, TNA is loosing alot of money right now, and their not even that big of a promotion either. If the WWE were to go after them. there is no doubt that the WWE will crush them and TNA will be out of bisniess quicker than they're going right now.

Rave reveiws? Who in the right mind would even say that was worthy of being released? How can such a horrible game be given reviews so great that it crosses consoles? I just bought it the other day, and i'm still pissed off at this shit... Don't make me rant, 'cause i'll do it, I swear to god i'll rant!..
As for the other news, i'd hate for WC... I mean, TNA to die now, but if it did, it'd be their own fault by the sounds of things. It sounds great though, and i've yet to see a single show. Who calls the shots in TNA, by the way? Is there a TNA equivalent of Vince, like a 'good twin' or something?
