Road Opera: How WCW Killed Vince Russo by Vince Russo autobiography.

What a load of bullshit this is going to be.

Oh God. That is going to be a must read just for the lulz isn't it?

No doubt it'll be page after page of him blaming the downfall of the company on everyone but himself, & how the company has now tarnished his image & career.

On another note, the World Wildlife Fund have recently changed their name to 'World Wide Fund for Nature'. Wonder if this'll mean anything for the WWE down the road...

Talking of which, TNA iMPACT! was bloody hard work this week. Apart from an entertaining main event (that was far too short), the show was filled with an incessant amount of talk, about 5 extra-length video packages, vignettes & thoroughly piss poor matches.

Daffney is a growing on me. At least David Flair is nowhere to be seen, this time...

The ending to Slammiversary :lol:

IT. JUST. DOESN'T. MAKE. SENSE

I've defended TNA for a while but the ending to the PPV... i'm lost for words.

More to follow, late and work in the morning

Why, is wasn't the patented...

RUSSO SWERVE!™

...was it?

Spoiler me up please

Didn't said Impact have 18mins of wrestling in the two-hour slot?

And SPOILER: I think Samoa Joe gave a belt to the MEM or something, therefore joining them? I dunno, on PS3 atm.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was less. Awful programme this week. There's only so much chat you can sit through before you begin to realise they're taking the piss. Remember there was a Nitro where the whole first hour had no wrestling? Well it was like that. But worse, because it wasn't funny.

One of the scheduled matches didn't even take place! It was thrown out before it even started.

King of the mounatin match - Last two men to climb the lader, Somoa Joe and Kurt Angle. I should note by this point in the timeline Joe has chocked out Kevin Nash, left Steiner and Booker in their own blood while on the other hand the MEM broke Joe's arm. Joe goes to put the belt on the hook to win then swerves and gives it to Angle who goes on to win the match

It's been obvious for a while that angle was the "voice in joe's ear" but still :lol:

I thought it was going to be Tazz

Really, I didn't see that coming at all? Where were the clues? Bah, this has got more plot holes than Terminator Salvation

Seems they're throwing the brand split out for tonight...mainly because the ratings for the other two shows are in the toilet.

The mentality behind tonight's episode of Raw is that it is being written as a "go-home show" for all three brands for Sunday's "The Bash" pay-per-view. The feeling is that Smackdown and ECW aren't delivering enough of an audience for their respective shows to be "go-home shows." Expect to see the top angles from both brands to be featured on tonight's show.

"Angle's the only one left on Joe's List" and The angle sting row meant it was one of them and sting's leadership meant it was angle

but then again I have been watching TNA far too often recently

WWE Press Release wrote:STAMFORD, Conn.---In the fact or fiction world of WWE®, it is a fact that Donald Trump held a press conference today in Green Bay at Austin Straubel Airport. As the new “owner” of Monday Night RAW®, Trump announced that all ticketholders to tonight’s RAW event at the Resch Center will receive a ticket refund. The total value of all ticket refunds is approximately $235,000. RAW will be presented commercial free live tonight at 9 pm/8pm CT on USA Network.

Blimey.

I wonder if they'll still boo Trump...

Who's paying for this IRL? WWE can hardly afford to, while Trump has no actual financial stake so why would he bother?

Publicity?

USA Network/NBC are helping cover the cost of some of the lost advertising revenue. Apart from that, the WWE are throwing money out the window tonight.

They'll know if it's all been worth it when the ratings come in tomorrow.

I bet the shareholders are loving this...

"You're paying Trump HOW much?"
"What do you mean NO adverts?"
"You're refunding ALL ticket sales?"
"You're giving away a WWE Title match for FREE?"
