WWE is going to have Cheech and Chong?? Really?? FTW!!

I know alot of people are excited about this but I just don't think it's a good idea. People are unaware of the fact that the reason TNA got it's highest rating ever was because of that 1.9 hour rating they got that went unopposed to Raw. The only logical thing for TNA to do is to start an hour earlier, going head to head with Raw is very, very risky and just borderline stupid. You start an hour earlier you build some momentum and maybe keep some viewers hooked to your show, especially since they want to start up against the WM build, which is just a bad idea in itself.

I like the idea of a new Monday night wars, but people need to stop kidding themselves, when one promotion is pulling almost three times (please don't go and wiki numbers, I'm just making broad generalizations) the viewers, it's not a war. And right now TNA just doesn't have the right stuff going on, yes it's in the midst of re-shuffling, for better or worse depends on the viewer, but it isn't enough to make the E worry. The industry just doesn't have the depth it had in the 90s to reignite a war, and again, why would they want to try and take a shot before the E's high point of the year.

I truly believe for TNA to stand even a slight chance they need to have all their shit straight and to me, they are far off from that and I don't know if 35 days is enough time for them. Plus going straight head to head is BAD. They are better off taking a shot after WM.

Is it bad that I'm actually looking forward to Shatner?

Actually I am not dreading it. Shatner is a pretty cool guy, he is way better than Mr. Dynamite. That guy sucked total dick.

Seth Rogen isn't funny, really. If they are going for comedic hosts, they should go for Stephen Colbert and/or the Office cast. In character.

^The Office wouldn't be a bad idea! Colbert is pretty funny, but tbh I don't know how he'd fit on Raw, kind of hard to imagine.

PUT THE CAST OF THE HANGOVER ON RAW ALREADY!

They couldn't have picked a worse time. TERRIBLE decision. This is right during the peak of the Mania buildup, where the WWE draws its biggest ratings of the year. They should have waited until a few weeks after Mania or even next fall.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The WWE generally peaks in quality between Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania, so TNA would be going up against a much better show than usual. Building up to another big live show a week or two after 'Mania like they did for January 4th to kickoff their Monday night slot seems logical to me.

Colbert owns!

The Hangover sucked. I can't think of a movie more over hyped and over rated than the Hangover since Napoleon Dynamite. I really, really tried to laugh, but only 1 scene illicited a laugh. Seth Rogen is funnier than those cats. Sorry to get off topic.

Get Jeff Bridges and John Goodman to reprise their roles from the Big Lebowski, now THAT would be epic. Or Jay and Silent Bob, that would be pretty sweet or Seth McFarlane of Family Guy fame.

Ok there are some things that I can laugh at, but this is just too absurd.

SWEET!! Sucks it wont be live every week, but still this is cool. I stopped watching RAW and SD and barely catch ECW now so TNA is alls I got. I question why they would do this during the road to mania but whatever, I'm stooked.

Considering January 4th's show was all shock value of the debuting names, and now practically every valuable (heck, not even valuable) guy is signed, wonder what they are going to do.

I duno, put on a wrestling show maybe? That seems about right.

a wrestling show? what's that? oh you mean those two hours of airtime that are ate up by the nasty boys, orlando jordan, scott hall, ric flair, kevin nash, hulk hogan and eric bischoff.
