I was just saying that all

Christian is just average to me. He's miles ahead of orton, but to me he'll always be a midcarder.

Don't try and talk to me about TNA because it's just a glorified retro indy show

This.

yeah totally agree with u



not so much a heel turn, just give him the damn title back

I say turn him heel because

a) Christian's always been a far better heel than he's been a face, in my opinion
and
b) Randy Orton is the biggest face on smackdown!. It would be kind of weird if the champion wasn't the babyface getting the biggest pop.

If Christian turns heel and wins the world title, he wont be playing second fiddle to Orton anymore.

Also, there aren't really any top heels on Smackdown!, unless you consider Mark fucking Henry. As a heel, Christian would be on top of Smackdown!.

Exactly, with Del Rio gone, Kane playing nice with Big Show, Smackdown is in serious need of a heel. Christian could fit the bill quite nicely.

You people forgot Sheamus.

Christian will only turn heel after the next PPV.

ok, with that arguement u convinced me

Eh, I'm kinda sick of seeing Sheamus in the title picture.

Of course I was happy to see Christian as champion, we all see how that turned out.

Sheamus is midcard right now, along with Barrett.
Also, I don't really think the WWE wants to do another Seamus/Orton feud for a while.

Still, he's the most credible opponent right now along with Barret and he's got the advantage that he's not in a feud yet. Mark Henry looks like he's going to be pushed as a monster heel and he will be brought back down again to midcard in two months.

Christian losing the WHC really doesn't bother me. While it was "refreshing" to see anti Cena and Orton fans pop, it really made no sense business wise. I mean having an Upper Midcarder winning the title is good but business wise it wasn't the right decision. But I know and you guys all know Vince McMahon wasn't gonna let someone defy his business ethic. By giving the title to Randy Orton was HUGE *both risk wise and business wise* and it literally paid off.

As far as Mark Henry goes.... just please don't be turned into a dog again. I want that fericous Mark Henry back, not that sissy "Sexual Chocolate" or the recent 2010-2011 good guy push. Mark Henry needs to go back to his Nation of Domination *mid 1997 to early 1998* or his Silverbat gimmick and really push the competition around like during his vs. Undertaker WM22 gimmick.

Albert Del Rio is currently the Million Dolllar Man of the company. Why you may ask that is very simple he's quite frankly the best heel without a major title in the company today. Hopefully we'll see more then a midcard gimmick from him. He needs to have a good run at the title.

TNA... Chyna coming back like really? You guys think if Chyna comes back, WWE is gonna turn PG? ~_~ TV-14, PG doesn't matter. I've seen more action in WWF PG 1987-1992 then half the action through WWF 1998-2001 and quite honestly I can say no one will ever replace the Golden era of professional wrestling aka WWF 1984-1992. Chyna coming back is just a big facepalm to a lot of people. Why is she back? Simple for a ratings boost. To boost up that marriage angle with Karen - Jarret / Angle which is quite frankly going nowhere *in my eyes at least*.

ROH... what the heck is that?

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling is now apparently done. Impact Wrestling is the now. So they dropped TNA and went with Impact Wrestling. Well I stop watching TNA for 2 months and I come back and they literally change there companies name and pick up Chyna? Dear lord...

yeah I agree impact wrestling dosen't make sence to me and they droped the tna name that was stupid in my opinion but as for chyna going to tna dear lord what are they going to do to her but I still watch it because it's far better than what wwe puts on these days

If by ''literally paid off'' you mean ''Smackdown! did its lowest rating in years", I agree. People reading the results weren't exactly thrilled with Christian losing the belt to Orton and boycotted the show. Ouch.

As for TNA.
In my opinion TNA is one of the stupidest names for a wrestling promotion ever. Maybe even worst ever.
Changing the name of the company to Impact Wrestling would be a great move, because TNA just can't be taken seriously with a stupid name like that.

Unfortunately, they didn't change the name of the company from TNA to Impact Wrestling, they changed the name of the Show. So before you had TNA iMPACT!, and now you have iMPACT! wrestling. Not really very interesting, TNA's rebranding should have been more aggressive, but they have changed their slogan and you can see it on their site. It says "Wrestling matters here".
A great strategic move in my opinion. WWE's policy of distancing themselves from their core product is a poor one, I feel. Good blow by TNA, I just hope they start doing what they preach and stop focusing the shows on Bischoff and Hogan rather than the in ring action.

so lookin ahead to the Over The Limit PPV, what does everyone think of the current card?

Coming out of last night's SmackDown, here's the latest card for WWE's Over the Limit pay-per-view on May 22nd:

I Quit Match for the WWE Title
The Miz vs. John Cena

World Heavyweight Title Match
Christian vs. Randy Orton

WWE Intercontinental Title Match
Ezekiel Jackson vs. Wade Barrett

Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler
If Cole wins, Lawler must give up his Hall of Fame ring.

R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio is also booked for the show but has not been officially announced by WWE.

as for TNA, it's still called TNA. the show is now referred to as Impact Wrestling on Spike. nowhere did they mention not being called TNA any more

Yeah, yet you have Hulk Hogan and Jarrett doing interviews where they say that ''TNA is no more''.

Of course it's just another case of classic internal miscommunication, a common thing in both TNA and wCw. Remember when Bobby Lashley didn't even know if he was still employed by TNA, and he didn't even know who was in charge?

It's been almost a year and Slater still is just a bad as when he first showed up.


Anyway, Danielson/Mistico was great!

In all seriousness - dropping the TNA name wouldn't be the worst thing that ever happened to the company. There has been so much crap produced by it might be worth changing the name.

As for Chyna, to be honest I was a fan of her during the whole first woman IC champ thing. I know its blasphemy innit! lol. I just hope she is healthy and happy in what she is doing.

Because hearing that someone I admired turning up drunk everywhere was really starting to hurt.

TNA changing its name would be the best thing they could do right now. It's a horrible name. I can't picture them having meetings with sponsors and taken seriously. It's a freaking pun on Tits & Ass.

Dammit! I can't stand one more post-match beatdown on Mysterio. All his matches end the same fucking way... I hate that little bore.

Sad News,
