That's one thing I would never do is pay for a TNA ppv the whole thing was terrible.

I caught the main event of TNA, and man it was awful! I hate Jeff Jarret. And I never really liked Mick Foley. Whenever I saw him on a match card, I never got excited. And man, yesterday he was just terrible. Kurt Angle was incredible, but he can't carry the whole match by himself.

btw, I don't think Sting was the legal man when he got pinned.

dude, i totally agree with u, cept for the u hating Jarrett part, i don't mind him, he's not my fav by any means, but he's good at what he does

Rey V JBL at Wrestlemania???

Where did this come from?

Rey challenged him off camera.

What a feud!

It's almost as cool as WWE putting Gail Kim on the WM25 poster before her actual redebut.

yes, funny u should mention Gail Kim Crow, have u guys read this:

WWE removed Gail Kim's picture from the WrestleMania Divas Battle Royal graphic during last night’s replay of Raw. Kim worked last night's Smackdown show in North Little Rock, AR with Maria against Maryse and Michelle McCool. There is no word if she has been removed from the 25 Diva Battle Royal.

Such a waste!

These 2 would have been great in the Money in the Bank match.

If i was to re-shuffle WM i would have Christian, Finlay, Swagger in a three way ECW match

With Rey and JBL taking their place in the MIB match.

hey everyone... haven't posted on the boards in a long while... just thought i give anyone that will be watching tonight Raw will be in my hometown of KC,MO. I will try to have a sign or draw on a poster the mk dragon or something.... or I was thinking a poster that said "Mcmahon-Helmsley Era is back".... any ideas....

Chardballz is the sexiest man alive!

Well its going to be the first WM iv watched in years so im pretty hyped for it.
Regardless of how unexciting most of the matches will be.

I think just taking a day off and having a bbq with the boys while watching grown men pretend to smack eachother around is exactly whay i need at the moment.

Hahahaha


You know for being the "25th Anniversary" of WM this card is pretty unexciting, I mean these matches (With the exception of Undertaker vs HBK and MITB) seem like something that would be on a PPV like Great American Bash or No Mercy. The past few years have been somewhat exciting but this year just seems BLAH. But I rally am looking forward to Undertaker vs HBK

Tag Team unification seems like it'll be good. The championship matches are honestly boring, but there's really nothing that can be done about that because John Cena has to be in one of them.

Not too bad tonight. Though the Intergender Divas match was utterly pointless. Has there ever been a male to win 1 of those stupid stipulations?

yes, most definately, and it's about time! have one damn set of Tag Titles between all three shows

And Triple H, don't forget him.
Because those two have to be in the Mania main events, we're not getting fresh feuds or fresh matches.
Even though Orton vs Triple H has been taken to a new level, it's still their billionth match against each other.
Cena and Edge? Didn't we see this feud for like nearly two years straight?
And Big Show's so unbelievably boring and out of his element it's not even funny. The match would actually be better without him even though he's the one thing keeping the match new.

Tag Team feud would mean something if the Colons weren't holding the titles. Miz and Morrison have done a fantastic job of establishing themselves as players even though they're tag team champions. The Colons are boring, and I don't really get the feel that they're in the Dirt Sheet's league.

Oh well, at least it'll unify the titles for some sort of novelty feeling.

Money In the Bank is always a great match, but this has got to be the worst line up yet. Kane and Mark Henry just aren't the men for the job. CM Punk will obviously not win since he won last year. Finlay and Kofi are great but their chances at winning are so absurdly low that their participation isn't exciting at all.
At least there's Christian and MVP, the two top contenders, and we can always count on Shelton to be the MVP for the match. But those other 5 spots... Why not Rey? Why not Evan Bourne? Kozlov? The Kendrick?

And Swagger not defending the title really shows the faith they've got in him and the ECW championship... Piss poor.

This is two peoples views on WWE today. There's only 1 video right now and it's pretty good so check it out if you wanna.

couldn't agree more

Koko? Really? God, next year I expect Doink the Clown to make it. Five bucks says that Austin will get inducted by The Rock. Man that would be great

howard finkel will be inducted by Mean Gene Ockerland (if i spelled it right)....

Don't forget Kane was in the first (I think) MitB match... so he does have some experience in this. I think he's a darkhorse to win it, mostly because over the last few months he's looked a little less like the Big Red Jobbing Machine that he usually is. Still, have to remember this is Kane, and when it comes to the big matches Kane never comes out on top.

Two big men is a little much, but I like Henry. He's improved, and he's been injury free for so long now after that really bad stretch earlier in his career. Bourne probably would have been in the match had he not gotten injured. He returned too close to Wrestlemania, he'd have no build up and whoever he would have to defeat to get into the match would have been made look bad by losing to him upon his return. Notice how they use natural jobbers like Noble to put him back over instead of an established star, like the ones who have competed to get into MitB.

Prediction for MitB currently: MVP

I do like Henry more than I ever have at this moment, and I do like Kane and he does have Ladder experience

But we just do NOT need those two in the match. The whole thing is full of people who we know for sure aren't going to win.

And I have to disagree with Evan Bourne. Fluke-style win in a last chance battle royal wouldn't make anyone look bad, and besides, people love him so much already and everybody wants him in the match so much, it wouldn't hurt anybody.


Man remember the first money in the bank? Full of contenders. Edge, Christian, Benoit and Jericho were IMO legit contenders to win the briefcase. Benoit had just come off a world title reign, Edge and Christian were getting their biggest single pushes yet to that point, and Jericho was always a guy you could believe to be on top.

Right there, 4 main event stars at the time. With Kane, that's 3 former world champions in the match, and the other three were big time IC champs.

Now we've got Kofi, one time IC champ (not that anyone remembers that reign), ECW Champ Mark Henry (right), one time U.S. champ Finlay (just like Kofi), and somehow MVP is the favorite to win even though he's just won a couple of U.S. titles and he's hardly on fire.
