With Cyber Sunday this week-end, time to tell my predictions:

WWE championship match: Triple H retains

Undertaker will defeat Big Show

Rey Mysterio wins

ECW Championship: Matt Hardy retains

Intercontinental championship: Santino loses the title

Worldheavyweight championship: Stone Cold Steve Austin is the chosen referee and Batista wins the title

actually why does it even matter what it's called?


It doesn't "matter," it just annoys me. It's understandable if at the time nobody knew better, but now there really isn't a reason for people to not know better.


Regarding WWE's new policy on terminology... I don't even believe that report is true. If there's any truth to it then the reporter has probably overblown it. So whatever.

Wrong name given by Westerners? Like the Japanese own the world.
It's what the move is called in America. Tons of big names in the business refer to it as T-bone suplex, so whether i's also called Exploder or not doesn't matter, it's not the wrong name for it.

And I don't see why it should never be used at all? I think it's a kickass move.

Wtf. It has nothing to do with the Japanese. Akiyama innovated it, Akiyama called it the Exploder; therefore Exploder is the correct name. T-bone isn't what it's called in America, it's just what some people call it in America, everyone else in America just calls it an Exploder. Tons of big names might call it whatever they want, but being a big name doesn't make them any less wrong. If Hogan started calling the Regalplex a Twisting Marsupial Flop that wouldn't suddenly become an acceptable alternative name for the move.

It's not really a big deal, it's just lame. Like why use some made-up Redneck term for it when you can just call it what it is, I don't see the point.

Your Hogan analogy is totally invalid as an argument. I'm sure you know that, I'm just letting you know I know too.

What makes it a redneck term? Tons of people call it T-Bone, including a lot of people who helped make it popular in Western wrestling, like Tazz.

Anyway we both know how hard headed you are, so we're not going anywhere. You like exploder, I don' t care what people use, let's leave it at that.

Yeah it doesn't matter anyway. As long as you're aware that if you say "T-bone" around anyone with much experience as pro wrestling fan outside of WWE they'll probably stereotype you as a WWE mark straight away because that's pretty much the only notable promotion where people still use that term.

Or maybe people don't judge others by what they call the exploder suplex.

I like that Sting, Kevin Nash, Booker T and Kurt Angle have officially made a alliance it takes the whole thing to another step. It was a cool image seein all them together.
But how this fued should end is the younger guys have to come out on top or this was all a mistake.
I also wanted to add that I don't understand how Nash goes ahead and cheats with the belt when their the ones saying you shouldn't do that stuff to Joe and AJ.

True I really wasn't really thinkin.
But then what's the point of the story if Sting goes and uses a bat and says to Joe that wrong. I mean the whole story is about respect and Sting comes out every week sayin it. I understand why everybody else in the group does it but him.

There's talk going around TNA that a handful of wrestlers will be released in the coming weeks. We haven't heard any names of who might go, but anyone who has requested their release will probably be given it. TNA is looking to cut costs and due to the recent contract renewals of some of the higher paid names, they're now more open to cutting some of the talent that they haven't invested a lot into.

Hey guys I reviewed TNA Impact the video game for PS2 on my youtube show STAGE CLEAR. You wouldn't understand a word since it's all in Portuguese, but you get to see me beat the crap out of the video game as EL PEGASO.

You can see it here

Some fuckin huge news.

Ring of Honor is announcing that Gabe Sapolsky will be leaving the company effective immediately. Everybody at ROH would like to thank him for his contributions and wish him well in all future endeavors.

Going forward Ring of Honor will be focusing on the stories and the talent in the ring. The company will have no further comments on this issue or a replacement for Mr. Sapolsky. We would like to thank all of the fans and media who have supported us over the years and look forward to bringing you more great wrestling excitement in the future.

It'll be really interesting as to where ROH goes from here.
I hope it goes nowhere but up and it's also interesting as to who they will replace Gabe with.

Kudos to the WWE for treating Evan Bourne better than they've ever treated a rookie cruiserweight before. It took years for guys like Jamie Noble, Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero to get really solid star pushes.

I don't know why Jericho would drop the title right now. Seems out of the blue. Plus, as much as I like Batista, it's stupidly shortsighted to have him win the title from Jericho because of the way the internet is going to see it. They love Jericho, and generally don't like Batista. This is a kick in the dick for Batista's babyface heat because now smart marks (and therefore the most obnoxiously vocal and determined section of the live crowd) are going to be on Batista's ass more than ever out of spite. Batista is going to cop WWE creative's heat.

This is almost pretty much the same way people turned on Cena. If Batista doesn't maintain a high enough quality of wrestling either due to WWE's booking or his own laziness then I can see the same thing happening to him.

Although, it probably doesn't matter so much because WWE can get away with turning Batista heel more sucessfully than Cena. And anyway, then smarks would just jump back on Batista's dick because the IWC loves heels. So, meh.
