Good god, that was an awesome TNA 5mins - well its still buffering but I mean before the titles-- Jesus TNA have stepped up in my view, and the graphics head who jumped ship from WWE, has made hell of a difference to their logos and presentation. It was amazingly done, the music, the flashes :lol: I only hope that they stop the tag team main events, and prepare for the storylines when the MEM finish, because it needs to keep this momentum. TBH if it wasn't for Vince coming back next week on RAW, if I was american, I'd be watching Impact.

I want answers KKLEIN, I'm holding you personally responsible for it not filling my screen.

It's one of their International-only programmes, so that may have something to do with it. Strange decision by the WWE though, as what's being shown has all been filmed with High Def cameras so they've got to intentionally cut it. Even Vintage Collection has gone High Def (boarders accompany the old footage), which is unnecessary.

Raw Thoughts:

- How Many Adverts????
- 2 mins matches :fp: Cryme time was 1.45 mins I think :|
- Mike Knox and Rey Fued :? Knox "I have no problem with him" - then proceeds to get DQ'd
- The contract signing - drawn out BS -What the hell was that of HBK? A push or a punch?
- Also what the hell was with CM Punk celebrating that much for the IC belt? Jesus he celebrated less for the World Heavyweight
- McMahon Returning 8-) The cheers and then it all went wrong, I expected Y2J to apologise for "listening to you two assholes all night, you see all these jericholoics know this when I say you are a big breasted two dollar hoe, and you sir, are a jackass!"
- Randy Orton McMahon beatdown - what the hell :lol:

Right so watched it last night ...I thought it was a good film, but it wasn't quite the epic one I was expecting. It was quite slow paced and at times very very predictable.

I would recommend it to you guys on here, but personally I can't see why the mainstream has taken to it as much as it has.

I found it very hard to feel sorry for the guy, because to be honest he was just a bit of a douche - his decision making in regards to his daughter didn't strike me as an old man willing to do anything to win her over! One question was that R-Truth?


3/5 from me!

Agreed entirely, I still thought it was a cracking film but it was hard to feel sorry for him in some aspects. And yes that was Killings

I have no idea what was up with all the iMPACT style matches last night. It's not like it helped the end segment, which overran by a good 10 minutes. I can't remember the last time Raw went into overtime.

Is Vince now out for another six months? Here's a man that got assaulted by Austin each & every week & we're supposed to believe in this almighty kick which seems to decimate any wrestler that comes into contact with it. Not having any of it.

Don't know how this is going to coincide with everything, but Rev Theory will be performing Orton's theme music Live on Raw next week.

Another thing ... I totally understand why this film has pissed Vince off a lot.

Throughout wrestling is soled as a barbaric form of entertainment ... with alot of focus on hardcore stuff like weapons, blading etc ... exactly the opposite to what Vince is trying to sell it as now! I don't really like the completely tame product we get nowadays ... but in the movie it is soled as a completely sick sport with no real focus on the athleticism.

Vince is more likely to hate wrestling's backstage stuff being aired - I assume the movie shows the wrestlers planning their match together?

Just catching up with RAW now, haven't read any of the comments from above.

So far i'm happy with Cryme Tyme now getting the push they deserve. Also i completely forgot that Goldust and Cody Rhodes are brothers. Only remembered half way through their backstage talk.

My Raw thoughts. Not too bad. I don't get the Rey / Knox fued, i assume it will just fizzle out like the Kane/Rey fued. As i said b4, great that Cryme Tyme are getting a push.
I'm interested to see where the Orton thing goes. I can only see 2 options, Orton joins up with Stephanie as suggested by others or Orton wins the Rumble and doesn't get fired because of some made up contract crap that u can't be fired if u have a title shot at WM or something. WWE make up weird things like that all the time.
