These days you'd probably get chucked out - just look at the WWE's current stance on confiscating signs.
I remember practically every week on nitro, the mats on the outside would be
covered in
paper and gooseberry fool. Was awesome.
I know WCW had some really bad talent in the lower card, but no need to call them names

Back from the Birmingham show pretty much the same except a change in the card, Kofi, DX vs Legacy 6 man tag, Show vs Cena
but the best match on the card Jericho vs Evan Bourne
Good show overall

It was a fantastic match and the best part had to be Bourne tapping out in the Walls for Jericho's win

Hopefully he did it properly, with Bournes flexibility it would look good.
Anyone know why the Walls has become a boston crab over the years and not the traditional walls?

I've wondered that myself. I put it down to laziness. A proper Walls looks harder to pose for a long length of time.

I swear I read somewhere he'd been told he'll never win a main event with the walls again (But cant for the life of me remember why) Could it have something to do with that?

Caught the latest RAW last night and even by current standards that was an especially bad show. I don't even know where to start.

WOW TNA really know how to out do the WWE don't they. When the WWE put on a horrible show, TNA just have to go and put on an even worse show
The whole mocking the guest host by having a guest host themselves was terrible (Hey let's get some dead guy who cannot even speak properly starting being xenophobic, sterotype everyone and throw in some racism tooboot). Half the angles (Storylines, not Kurt
) make no sense (And can we please go one month without The Dudleys doing another allignment switch)
Atleast McGuiness brought a smile to my face with another promo calling someone a wanker

Great stuff. In case you're wondering, it's Chainsaw Charlie (Terry Funk) in the crate.
Speaking of DX, I was watching Mania 14 on DVD last night. The DX Band singing America the Beautiful. Christ. So horrific the crowd booed them to hell.

Is it Zack de la Rocha that sings the DX theme? Unlikely but it sounds like him

It's not Zack De La Rocha, it's a soundalike, sadly.
RE: Walls of Jericho. The move was put on a list of "dangerous" moves before the end of his original spell with the WWE(that list includes the piledriver, folks, yet not the tombstone Piledriver), but he'd been told to modify it long before that as well. IIRC, of course.

Yup. The Walls isn't actually that dangerous for an average human being, but there's no way Batista, Triple H etc. could stretch like that. I bet even Austin with his messed up neck could take the hold.

I don't think so - the band that originally did the DX theme(and Triple H's old one) split up and disappeared years ago.
