TNA: Impact December 06, 2007
- TNA is completely Blue!!!!
- This weeks show was so f--k'ing bad I'm tapping out AGAIN. I may give them another chance in the New Year (maybe not), but I don't need this aggrevation over the holidays. NOTHING makes a lick of sense on this show.
- Before I go any further, because this is going to get stiff, let me clarify that TNA has likely the best talent roster going. There are more guys I'd rather see working, in TNA than on RAW, SD, or ECW, quite possibly even combined. That being said I can't stomach this show any longer, the booking is so beyond comprehendable I give up.
- So much of this show was centered around Cornette wanting these cases secured, so no one could tamper with them. Problem is those of us with at least half a brain (this obviosuly excludes whoever wrote this shit) realizes that since the guys showed up in their cars with the cases, to open the show, they've already had the cases for "4-days", I'm pretty sure any tampering they wanted to do would be done by now!
- To make matters worse (a TNA booking theme) to secure the cases they are put on DISPLAY in a room that the entire locker room wonders through during the show.
- People actually paid (grantly probably not that many) to watch Turning Point to find out who would get title shots and who would get fired. This didn't happen on PPV instead TNA screwed the fans and told them it will be done on Impact for free. Now on Impact we are told, sorry folks you have to wait till next week. This is such poor bait and switch business it's unbelieveable.
- They did the exact same thing with the Fight for the Right match. They promised to award a Title shot to someone on the PPV, but at the PPV we were told that it was just going to decide seeding for a tournament that would happen on free TV. Then they have the tournament on free TV only to find out that we still don't get to know the guy who gets the Title shot because they are doing a rematch on PPV. So to get what fans were promised on 1 PPV they had to buy 2 PPVs, and watch 6-8 hours of Impact. That's bullshit!
- We then have an unadvertised 6 man ladder match for the "possession" of the X Title belt. Johnny Devine now has "legal" possession of the belt, but isn't the champ, while Jay Lethal is the X Champion but doesn't have the belt. If that makes sense to anyone I suggest you seek psychiatric help immediately.
- Did they pin Gail Kim tonight because they were pissed fans cared more about her match at the PPV than they did the Main Event? The Women's Title has been the only thing they have been doing right lately (likely the reason why fans cared at the PPV) so they have a girl who isn't even in the angle pin Gail in the middle of the ring. Absolutely Blue.
- There are a ton of other things wrong with the show, but why bother. I think I just put more thought into writing this than TNA does into booking the show. I'm done. To the talented guys and girls who work in TNA, I wish you the best, but I can't watch this show anymore it's just not worth it!!!!
WWE: RAW December 03, 2007
- I found RAW a little dull this week.
- I think one of the problems is that with tri-branded PPV's there are only a couple or 3 angles to build towards, which makes for a less exciting show.
- I thought they build towards all the PPV matches fairly effectively, there just wasn't a real top notch match to get into on the show.
- The Kennedy promo was long and for the most part pointless but I did pop for the Scott Hall dig, "Thanks for coming, by the way".
- I'm enjoying the intrigue in the Hardy - HHH match, a unique interesting build.
- Did anyone else notice that Booker T and Kurt Angle were in the Greatest Superstar of RAW graphic?
WWE:SmackDown November 22, 2007
- SD was on Thursday this week for some reason in Canada so I missed a fair bit of the show.
- I liked the Jamie Noble upset win. Stuff like that keeps us on our toes and makes all near falls more exciting.
- Who'd a thunk it: Finlay as a Baby Face and Mark Henry and Kahli in a program with a leprechon, and the leprechon going over?
- Great to see Edge back, and a great closing segment.
- That was the best Batista promo I've seen in a long time. As great as his matches with Taker were his "I have nothing but respect for the Undertaker" promos were terrible. This was great, short & sweat, with kick ass attitude.
- I'm not sure I care for the Edge & Vicky in love bit but it should get heat.
- Taker is still awesome and has the best facial expressions in the business. He can scare you just looking at you!
WWE: ECW October 12, 2007 (Airs Friday in Canada)
- I tuned in to ECW again this week and apart from the Main Event there wasn't a whole lot to this show.
- That being said that was one DAMN GOOD Main Event. I absolutely loved this match. We got some great moves, some awesome selling, and some great story telling. I watched that majority of all 4 shows this week and this was by far my favourite match.
- I may have to get PPV capability at my house, because I'd like to see these two on PPV.
