Kharma aka Awesome Kong is Pregnant

Former TNA Knockout Champion Awesome Kong recently debuted in the WWE under the name Kharma. She immediately started destroying every WWE Diva that got in her way, starting with Michelle McCool after he last match. After Michelle McCool lost her career ending retirement match, Kharma debuted and hit her with what was referred to as the "implant buster" back in her TNA days. Since then Kharma has made very short appearances, never speaking a word, but only interrupting every Diva's match and destroying which every Diva she catches. 

However, Kharma was not featured on the last WWE PPV, and then the following edition of Raw had a huge Diva tag match and Karma walked out, presumably to attack every remaining Diva in the WWE all at once, when suddenly she just dropped to her knees in the middle of the ring and started crying. All the Diva's just stood there staring and then the segment was over. Since then rumours have been flying about what this new storyline is going to be. Well here is the real story...

WWE was on Kharma's case to lose weight since signing her to the company, but recently she announced she was pregnant. Since that announcement WWE has canceled all plans with her, obviously for the next 9 months, but possible this could be the end of her shot with the WWE. Good timing to get pregnant, she finally gets her shot in the bit show, they are letting her singlehandedly destroy the entire Diva's division, and now shes gone lol. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. Now back to the usually boring WWE Diva's matches.

Chyna's Return To Wresling / Porn

I was totally shocked when Kurt Angle's surprise mixed tag team partner for his match against Jeff Jarrett and his ex-wife Karen was former WWE star Chyna. It was nice to see her back in the ring again after about 10 years of being away. However, it doesn't look like her career or life is back on track...

TMZ.com is reporting that Chyna is returning to porn. Vivid President Steve Hirsch told the gossip site that the former WWE Intercontinental Champion had approached him several months ago about reviving her XXX career and demanded to work with the top male porn stars in the business. Hirsch obliged, and cast Evan and Lee Stone, the two biggest male porn starts in the business, with Chyna. According to the report, the threesome have already shot the "EXTREMELY graphic porno", which will apparently be titled Backdoor into Chyna.

This is not Chyna's first foray into pornography, as a sex tape between her and Sean Waltman was leaked and released on DVD in 2004, called One Night in Chyna. Sean Waltman was recently asked by TMZ.com about Chyna's new porn flick that will be coming from Vivid Entertainment. He noted that he would not be watching it, and added the following comments: "It's too hard remembering how devastated she was the first time around. It saddens me ... but she obviously hasn't progressed very far in life. "[Chyna] used to say how low she felt after the first [sex tape] was released ... what does that say about where she's at in life now?" 

According to Beauty Queen Management, who represent the former WWE Women's Champion, the report is "totally untrue" as she has not and will not be shooting any porn videos. "All rumours relating to Chyna and porn are totally false and should be taken with a grain of salt." her manager Michelle Roberts told Chyna fan site alivingwonder.com. As noted, Hirsch claims it was already filmed! 

Meanwhile, Eric Bischoff avoided commenting on her status with TNA Wrestling when asked during an interview earlier this week with Monday Night Mayhem. Bischoff replied, "That's a really good question and I'm not going to answer it because it would be inappropriate. So, let's leave it at that." 

According to sources, TNA has no plans on using Chyna any further, nor the woman originally slotted for the role of Kurt Angle's associate, Isis the Amazon.

Isis the Amazon

So basically, it sounds like TNA (now known as Impact) didn't even want to use Chyna for the match in the first place, and now that the match is over they have no real plans to use her anymore, especially with rumours of her return to porn. This will probably be the end of her wrestling career forever. Even though her management denies it, the rumours of her porn career seem to be true, and that should put an end on her return to wrestling... not that she looked very good back in the ring! Her costume was ugly, she wasn't in nearly the shape she used to be. She failed at a simple body slam on Jarrett. The only high points of the match were her pedigree on Karen, and the "stereo ankle locks" which won the match. Overall, she looked old and washed up. Its too bad, but I guess this is the end for Chyna.  

Sx Sides Returns

Jeremy Borash has confirmed that the six-sided ring will be returning for one night only at the Destination X pay-per-view event on July 10. I personally liked the six-sided ring. I thought it was new and original and made things more interesting. It gave TNA (now known as Impact) a new look and a chance to possibly do things that the WWE could not do. It gave the wrestlers a chance to be more creative and original. I'm not sure why they changed it when Hulk Hogan took over, if some wrestlers didn't like it or if Hogan just didn't like it, but it would be interesting to see how the fans react when it comes back for one night, and maybe they might decide to bring it back for good! 

Ric Flair Arrested

It looks like Ric Flair is in trouble with the law again. Apparently he was doing business with a website called "Hotspot" and he borrowed a large amount of money from them which he has failed to pay back. The website took Flair to court, he was ordered to pay them the money and provide them with several hundred autographed photos which I guess was part of their arrangement. However, Flair has failed to pay them yet and the court has now issued a warrant for Flairs arrest. The other issue I find sad about the whole story is that Flair used his NWA World Championship Belt as collateral for the loan from he website and he may have to turn over possession of the belt to the website now. Apparently the only problem with that is that Flair already owes the belt to someone else for the same reason... how could he use his championship belt for collateral, and how can he really be this sort of cash, he's been wrestling forever! My advice to Flair, hide the belt, sign the dam photos, and manage your money better you idiot! This all reminds me of scene in the movie Raging Bull when the champ was desperate for cash to avoid going to jail and he smashed his championship belt to sell the gold, then found out the smashed gold wasn't worth nearly as much as the belt as a whole lol. 

Knobbs Is A Knob

Former WWE Tag Team Champion Brian Knobbs of the Nasty Boys proves to the world that he really is a nasty boy and a knob when he mocked the death of Macho Man Randy Savage. 

Apparently many wrestlers were together at a convention when the news of Randy's death was made public. Randy's brother, former WWE superstar "The Genius" Lanny Poffo, was supposed to attened the convention but did not show up due to his brothers death. 

According to "X-Pac" Sean Waltman, Knobs was making rude jokes and mocking Savage's death to the other wrestlers who did not appreciate it. Waltman posted everything on his Twitter page and even asked Knobs friend Hulk Hogan to deal with him because something needs to be done to him for this. 

I think this is just a case of a bitter asshole in the wrestling business. Knobs was a fat loser who's claim to fame was rubbing a wrestlers face in his gross arm-pit. Its been made clear that he's only been given work because he is a real life friend of Hulk Hogan. Still, I find it hard to believe he is mocking Hogan's friend Savage after his death. He should have been thrown out of the convention, or better yet, let the other wrestlers there deal with him lol. 

Royal Rumble 2012

RIP Macho Man

When I first started watching wrestling as a kid, my dad took me to the video store and we rented Wrestlemania V... the main event was Macho Man Randy Savage VS Hulk Hogan for the Championship with Miss Elizabeth caught in the middle. It was such a great match and storyline that even as a kid I was hooked. Even though Macho was the heel at the time I still really liked him. The "Mega Powers" were my two favourite wrestlers and I will never forget Macho Man. 

I woke up this morning and read the very sad news. Randy was killed in a car accident. It suddenly feels like a piece of my childhood just died. Another one of my heroes and role models is gone, and it seems tragic. Randy was happily remarried and just celebrated his 1 year wedding anniversary with his new wife. And after 10 years of silence, former best friends Hulk and Macho were finally talking again. There were also rumours he would be returning to wrestling, hopefully in Hogan's Impact Wrestling company since Macho and WWE were not on good terms. 

According to sources that I read, Randy was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median through oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a tree. Randy was only 58.

Savage was transported to Largo Medical Center, where he died from his injuries. His wife Lynn was also in the car with Savage but survived with minor injuries. She was transported to a different local hospital, where she was treated. Officials reported that both Randy and Lynn were wearing their seat-belts at the time of the accident, and alcohol was NOT a factor. An investigation into the accident is underway.

Wrestlers Comments:

Hulk Hogan: 
"I'm completely devastated, after over 10 years of not talking with Randy, we've finally started to talk and communicate. He had so much life in his eyes & in his spirit, I just pray that he's happy and in a better place and we miss him. We miss him a lot. I feel horrible about the ten years of having no communication. This was a tough one. HH"

Jeff Jarrett:  
"Just got a call w the news. RIP Randy. I met him when I was 11yrs old. He would always teach, correct, encourage, and compliment as my... Career progressed. I have NEVER forgotten the intricacies and attention to detail he taught me over the years. Randy always had a method to His madness. Randy is gone, but will never be forgotten. Thoughts and prayers are w the entire Poffo family. And, he may be the greatest card player the business has ever seen... When he lost, he was only setting you up to take more money from you!"

The Rock: 
"RIP Randy 'Macho Man' Savage - you were one of my childhood inspirations and heros. Strength, love and prayers to the Savage/Poffo family." 

Kevin Nash: 
"I lost a close friend today. If anybody in heaven is wondering who the cat in the ugly cowboy hat is it's Randy. Love you Bro. Never another"

Mick Foley: 
 "I just heard the sad news about the Macho Man. Randy Savage was one of my favorites performers, and my heart goes out to his loved ones"

Shawn Michaels: 
"@IAmJericho jus txt me the news. We've lost one of the greats!! Our prayers go out to the family & friends of Randy Savage."

RVD: 
"Rest in Peace Macho Man Randy Savage."

Christopher Daniels: 
 "RIP Randy Savage, an inspiration who set the standard! As a fan, watching Randy in Wrestlemania 3,4 and 5 was incredible! True Story: at Turning Point 2004 (AMW-XXX cage match), I asked Randy's permission to drop the elbow of the top of the cage! Randy's reply? 'God bless you, brother, I don't even do the elbow anymore.' And, he gave me a thumbs up after the match as well!"

Impact Wrestling

Since Hulk Hogan took over control of TNA Wrestling there have been a lot of changes, most notably the change from the 6-sided ring to the traditional 4-sided ring. But now that the "Network Consultant" has been revealed as Mic Foley perhaps the biggest change has taken place.

After revealing himself as the  "Network Consultant" Mic Foley announced that TNA will now change its name to Impact. The company was always named TNA, and the TV show was called Impact, and the arena was known as the Impact Zone. Apparently the company decided they didn't like the name TNA because it wasn't clear enough what it was, and could be confused for another meaning. So the simplest change I guess was to just drop the TNA part just like they dropped their connection to the NWA. So instead of TNA Impact, its just Impact. 

Also, as WWE is trying to drop the word Wrestling from their name, Impact is now trying to focus on the word Wrestling more than ever. The company is now called "Impact Wrestling," their arena is now called the Impact Wrestling Zone, and the catchphrase on the show  seems to be "wrestling matters." 

This could also be why Mr. Anderson has gone back to wearing his old t-shirt that says "wrestling is real, the rest of the world is fake."

Basically, WWE is no longer a wrestling company, launching a whole network with shows and movies not wrestling based. And on the other side, TNA has dropped the suggestive title and changed to a straight forward 100% wrestling company, and pardon the pun but are hoping to use this to make a major Impact!

Edge: What I Would Have Done

Instead of just reporting the wrestling news and giving my opinion I thought it might be interesting to try coming up with a better answer instead of just saying what they did was wrong lol.

I think if Edge was going to retire and Wrestlemania was going to be his last match they should have let him end his career in a better way. He should have gone out with more of a bang. I think Alberto was pushed too soon, he didn't deserve to win the Royal Rumble and he really didn't deserve to main event Wrestlemania, even though their match was the opening match, it was a World Title match nonetheless. 

I was extremely disappointed when Alberto won the Rumble, I thought the star of the whole Rumble was Morrison who's moves to avoid elimination were amazing, he stole the show and should have won. In which case I would have had him challenge his ex tag team partner, The Miz, for the WWE Championship, which would have left Cena open to fight the Rock or anyone else they wanted. If need be, they could have just had a triple threat like at Extreme Rules. 

Once you forget about Alberto as a contender, that leaves him to finish his feud with Rey at Wrestlemania and leaves Cody free to fight someone else, like Swagger or any of the other young guys that were wasted at Wrestlemania. 

Now that leaves the question, who should face Edge?

Well if Morrison is fighting The Miz, that means he is out of that stupid Jersey Shore match which was a waste of time and should have just been a woman's match anyways. In that case Dolph Ziggler is free to continue his feud with Edge. He already won the belt from Edge on Smackdown and then lost it back to Edge on Smackdown. This sets up a good rematch to settle the score. 

Or if that doesn't work, there was a great feud with Edge and Kane that could have been settled at Wrestlemania. However, Kane was involved in a tag match with The Big Show, but that raises an even better idea...

Edge used to be married to Vicki Guerrero, who is now with Dolph Ziggler. Well that set up a great feud with them, but one might remember that when Edge was married to Vicki she cheated on him with The Big Show, which led to their Wrestlemania match at a previous Wrestlemania. So they could have worked something out where Edge would fight Dolph and The Big Show could have got involved. Hell you could even put him in the match as a Triple Threat. Or you could also include Big Show's new tag partner, and Edge's main rival on Smackdown Kane, and make it a Fatal-Four-Way. 

So that means my options are:

Edge vs Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler

Edge vs Big Show

Big Show

Edge vs Kane

Kane

or any combination

All are better than Alberto in my mind. However, if this was really going to be Edge's last match, and he was going to drop the title to someone, which would have been better than if he forfeited the title like he actually did, then he should have lost his last match to Christian.

In my ideal situation, I would have Edge finish all of his old feuds once and for all, with a Fatal-Four-Way as I mentioned. He can end his wars with Ziggler, Big Show, Vicki, and Kane all at once. And they could even have Christian make his return properly at Wrestlemania. Christian could have helped Edge win the Four-Way to keep the title and then challenge him to a match right then and there, or he could just let Edge win and then walk out after the match as a surprise and challenge him.

It might have also been a good idea to maybe have Christian win the Royal Rumble and just challenge Edge outright. This would have worked better if Edge was not in condition for a Four-Way match and just wanted one short match. 

The end result should have been a one on one match between Edge and Christian at Wrestlemania, and that should have been Edge's last match, and he should have lost the title to Christian and Christian should be known as the man the ended Edge's career, not Alberto who had no history with Edge.

"con-chair-to"

This would have also been a great way to turn Christian heel. He could have snapped on Edge, and cheated to win. He could have then also delivered a "one-man con-chair-to" to Edge. (when you put a steel chair under Edge's head, and then smash another steel chair on the other side of his head). Hell, Christian could have delivered several "con-chair-to" to Edge, giving that as the excuse for Edge's retirement. They could have sited it as a concussion injury instead of a spinal injury. 

Christian would have taken all the blame and heat and everyone would hate him and want to see him pay for what he did to Edge. This would have been the appropriate time for Orton to come to Smackdown as the savior to defend Edge and defeat the evil Christian and take back Edge's title, since WWE ultimately wanted Orton to be the new champion. Still, I would have had Christian hang onto the belt for a couple months, this way he could cheat to retain the title against Orton and all the other Edge supporters. 

Eventually, Christian's evil title reign would have been ended by Orton, but not without the assistance of Edge. This way Edge was getting his ultimate payback on Christian, settling their score, and passing the torch to Orton who is clearly meant to be his successor. 

Well that's just my ideas, let me know if anyone agrees or likes any of my ideas. Or if you have any better ideas of your own, please post them here!

Poor Christian

After Edge's retirement and forfeiting of the title, a ladder match was held at Extreme Rules. Edge's best friend and former tag team partner Christian stepped up in Edge's place in the main event against the man that ended Edge's career, Alberto. Thanks to an assist by Edge, Christian was able to climb the ladder and retrieve the title making him the World Champion for the first time in his career.

However this great moment was very short lived. The following week's Smackdown saw Christian defending his title already, against newly drafted Randy Orton. Personally I think this was all way too soon. Christian just won the title and Orton just moved to Smackdown, not to mention they are both baby-faces (good-guys). I would have liked to have seen Christian make a few successful title defenses against other Smackdown starts, such as: Mark Henry, The Great Khali, Kane, The Big Show, the members of the Corre, just to name a few. But instead WWE rushed the big match up and had Christian drop the title clean to Randy Orton in his very first title defense.

This essentially killed any attention for Christian as a champion and any good feeling of him regaining Edge's fallen title. Now its just as if that was all erased and the company has moved on. I knew when I saw Randy get drafted to Smackdown that he was being sent there to take over Edge's roll as the top guy, but I thought they would give Christian a fair turn as champion first. I guess I was wrong.

There are rumours going around that either Christian or Orton will be turning heel (bad-guy) as a result so that the two can feud over the title for months to come, but no decision has been made yet. Personally I think Orton is already in the roll of the heel since he showed up and ruined Christian's celebration and took his title which most fans probably didn't appreciate. So it would be easy to have him come out and be a jerk about it and make himself the heel. But then again, Orton is the second biggest star in the company next to Cena, and I'm not sure if they want the new star of Smackdown to turn heel now.

Kurt Angle 2012 Olympics

Kurt Angle has announced that he is currently training for the 2012 Olympics. This is not just a rumour like his MMA or UFC careers. In both of those cases Kurt reported that the companies couldn't come to terms on money and scheduling, but that the Olympics will be on his own terms. 

He also just signed a new 3 year contract with TNA and reported that they are now paying him more than he was ever getting paid by the WWE. He also stated that they will be giving him all the time off that he needs to train for the Olympics, that they are being very supportive of the whole thing.

I seem to remember him wanting to compete again in the Olympics back when he was in the WWE. It was announced but then it was dropped pretty quick, not sure if he changed his mind back then or if the WWE wasn't supporting him in that choice, cus he sure seems to want to mention how supportive TNA is being, almost like he is saying they are doing what WWE wouldn't. But that's just my interpretation.

Extreme Rules

Extreme Rules 2011

First can I just say that I miss the Backlash PPV, same goes for No Way Out. The WWE seems to be getting ride of its traditional PPVs for more gimmick PPVs such as Extreme Rules, Money In The Bank, Cyber Sunday, Tables Ladders and Chairs, Elimination Chamber, and Hell In The Cell. These all used to be cool matches, but devoting entire PPVs to these concepts kinda takes away the excitement of the matches I think. When a rivalry builds up to a cage match its exciting, but when every March every rivalry has a cage match it just seems lame to me... but that's just my opinion. 

Anyways, just like Wrestlemania, probably the best feud is Orton and Punk, but that is over now I guess since Orton went to Smackdown in the draft. But their Last Man Standing match was good, and the top rope RKO was impressive!

Am I the only one that was disappointed to see Sheamus lose the US Title to Kofi?? It wasn't that impressive of a table match, tho it was kind of ironic to see Sheamus lose a championship in a table match for a change lol. 

I wont waste time talking about the Michael Cole shit, I hate him and I wish WWE would fire him, I don't care if he is doing what WWE tells him to do, its annoying, just get ride of him, enough already! It makes everyone involved look stupid, not that Cole, King, or JR could look any more stupid than they always do, but this whole thing is ruining Jack Swagger who I think has a big future... if they doing ruin it!

Next was the Rey vs Cody match. I like this storyline, and the whole monster character they came up with for Cody, but then again I was and still am a big fan of his "Dashing" character, I thought that whole thing was hilarious, and that virtual mirror entrance was awesome, and a great song too lol. But now he is a more serious heel, which is a good thing for his career I guess and it was nice of Rey to put him over like this. It was a decent match, but I think its kinda lame that he claims his face was destroyed, yet he wears a small clear mask and its obvious his face is still the same lol. Just drop the gimmick and go back to "Dashing" already, esp since Rey just got drafted to Raw. 

I was 100% shocked that Layla won the career ending match against Michelle, who is clearly one of the best women wrestlers around today. I was expecting Michelle to finally get rid of Layla and go back after her Divas Title. But in a shocking turn, Layla won the match and ended Michelle's great career.

Apparently, Michelle has left the WWE to spend more time at home with her husband, the Undertaker, who has also reportedly retired... tho it is rumored he might have one more match at next years Wrestlemania, and then retire officially. 

The real highlight of the woman's match was the debut of Awesome Kong, now known in the WWE as Karma. She came out and just destroyed Michelle with what was known in TNA as the "Implant Buster" if I'm not mistaken lol. 

This lead to the World Championship ladder match between Christian and Alberto. Just as I had expected, Christian won the title thanks to an assist from Edge. But that doesn't mean it wasn't still exciting to see Christian finally win the World Title. I think this is something that was long overdue. I mean Edge won 11 World Titles before he retired last month, and this is only Christian's first lol. It was a good match, Alberto took that one fall onto the ladder outside the ring that was far worse than anything I expected him to take. He is proving himself, but I still don't like him and think he is not main event yet. 

But for the record, I was always a huge Edge & Christian fan as a tag team, and a huge Peep fan all along Christians career. I followed his career in TNA as Christian Cage, and when he returned to WWE I assumed he would main event right away, with Edge and Jericho and other obvious wrestlers... but instead he was hidden away on the ECW show as their champ and I thought they wasted his whole return. Now his return after an injury came right in time for Edge's retirement, and this time WWE was smart enough I feel to use Christian properly for once!

The filler match between main events was the tag team lumberjack match. It was pretty shitty lol. Jackson body-slammed the Big Show yet again, tho that never gets old lol. But Barrett is boring and I hate the Corre and the New Nexus. I thought the original Nexus had potential to be interesting, but they kinda ruined it. I was happy to see them end Cena's career, but of course that storyline lasted about a week lol. 

Last but not least, the main event, WWE Championship, Triple-Threat, Steel Cage Match!!!

I must start by saying I hate Cena lol. So with that being said you can imagine how I felt about him winning yet another WWE Championship. Anyways, I thought Miz actually did pretty good, and Morrison was amazing. Morrison, like always stole the show and carried the match. And like always, failed to win. Not cus he lacks the talent but only because for whatever reason, Vince and the WWE just don't want to put a title around him. I felt sorry for him when they made him take that fall on the cage door, one of the most painful looking crotch falls I've ever seen. (I guess that's what we will call it lol). Also, that one awful fall that the Miz took off the top of the cage: Cena and Morrison double-suplexed the Miz back into the ring, but instead of rolling over to land on his back, it looked like the two wrestlers just dropped the Miz straight down onto the back of his head and neck. I was surprised he wasn't hurt. Maybe he is tougher than I give him credit for lol. The shock of the match was R-Truth who came out and cost Morrison the title. He is clearly a heel now and their is obviously going to be a feud now between him and Morrison. I like R-Truth as a heel, and thought the smoking thing on Raw as hilarious. But I wish he didn't cost Morrison the title. 

Anyways, Cena won and I was not impressed. But it was a good match and hopefully Morrison will get his chance with the title one day soon!

Also, it wasn't shown on the PPV but they showed it the next night on Raw... after Cena won the belt he made the announcement to the crowd that they had caught and killed Osama Bin Laden. The crowd looked shocked, prolly not the way they expected to hear that news haha. 

Overall, good PPV, sorry to see Cena win the title again, but glad to see Christian finally win the title!

Undertaker is Retired

Regarding The Undertaker's wrestling status, the mentality of WWE personnel is that he's considered retired. This explains Michelle McCool leaving to spend more time with him at home.

The Undertaker is in far worse physical shape than is being let on. While company officials aren't ruling The Deadman out for a match at Wrestlemania XXVIII, he is not expected to compete before then. People close to the legend have talked to him about retiring at the event.

The Real Story At Lockdown

More important than the matches on the PPV to me was the moment after the title match, after Hogan interfered in Sting's match... Sting opened the cage door and called out Hogan! Sting said he was sick of Hogan's shit and wanted Hogan to get into the cage right then and there and settle things once and for all. Hogan just laughed and looked at his watch and said "on my time" which shocked me, cus Hogan didn't say no! Hogan made it sound like its only a matter of time now before he gets back in the ring and wrestles Sting once again! In my mind that is probably the greatest rivalry in wrestling history! Sting vs Hogan... and we may get to see it one more time!!!

Lockdown Report

So I watched TNA Lockdown PPV just a little while ago and I thought I should post my thoughts. Just incase anyone actually cares lol. 

First of all, I'm not gonna waste time talking about the random shitty matches at the start. The only thing that made them worth watching is the fact that every match was held inside a steel cage, so that part was cool. But most of the wrestlers involved arent really worth mentioning lol. 

I will mention how cool it was seeing Scott Steiner kicking everyone's ass in that match tho haha. He was always one of my favourites and I may be a little biased but I think he's still got it. Tho I am confused, I heard rumours that they were gonna bring back the Main Event Mafia, which I really liked, but then Kevin Nash and Booker T returned to the WWE instead. I almost think WWE did that on purpose just to stop TNA cus Booker T has only been anouncing on Smackdown since the Rumble when he returned and I've yet to see Diesel since. 

Everyone said Sting was offered a spot to and was supposed to fight Undertaker and Wrestlemania, which has been my dream match up that I've always wanted to see since I was a kid, but Sting turned it down. So I guess Steiner also turned down any offers from WWE or maybe for some reason he was the only Mafia member they didnt make an offer to??

As for the X Division, typically great matches, and this one was no exception, but a few of the guys I could have just done without. I say drop the stupid Suicide gimmick already. Everyone knows it was Christopher Daniels and now that other guys are doing it I think its just lame. Robbie E sucks and I think Generation Me is a great tag team and should not be split up.  Same goes for The Motor City Machine Guns, but I know Shelly was injured (tho just as he made his return on last week's Impact Sabin looked like he blew out his knee). So I guess that just leaves in my mind Lethal (who has been over-used, and now fired apparently), Amazing Red (who's supposed brother Crimson seems to be getting a much bigger push than him now) and Kendrick, who I feel is one of the most wasted and underused talent in the company. So my vote would be for Kendrick to have won and become the new X Division Champion, but that was not the case. Max Buck won and I guess gets a title shot against Kazarian?

Next, and I wont waste much time on this one as they didn't waste much time putting on a match lmao, I think the whole thing lasted about 30 seconds lol. Mickie James beat Madison Rayne to become the new Knockout Champion. I think its about time they gave Mickie the belt, but its too bad she didn't get to have a match first before she won the belt lmao. 

Matt Morgan vs. Hernandez seems like a match they should have had like a year ago when they first had a fued. Now its old news and this new Mexico-America thing is kinda shitty I think. I've never been a fan of Hernandez and I think Morgan should be demanding a title shot, tho not a Heavyweight Title shot, but X Division of TV Title. He went from main eventing to being demoted back to his old feud with Hernandez, not that exciting, sorry. 

Samoa Joe and The Pope are two of my favourite TNA wrestlers, but this storyline about Joe and his Green Hornet sidekick video taping and spying on the Pope was stupid. Then this whole new Pope character where he makes people get up and walk from their wheelchairs and makes blind people see is so stupid. I think this is a case of two talented wrestlers who are just being wasted in dumb storylines. To go back to my previous point, if I was running TNA I would just be looking to make someone like Morgan my TV Champion and The Pope my X Division Champion. Instead they want guys like Robbie E and Gunner to be their Champions???

The only Lethal Lockdown match on the show was saved for the main event, which I thought should have either gone to Sting or Kurt Angle. Regardless, it was a decent match, if not just a bit of overkill with the cage and all the weapons and too many wrestlers. It was just chaos. Ric Flair shouldnt be getting his ass kicked at this point in his career.  But it is nice to see Daniels back again, tho I dont think he is a good fit in with Fortune. I think they should stick with just the core four. Also, since when is Bully Ray a main event player? Abyss is not getting used right or enough in my books. This was just a waste for him. He should be the destructive force in Immortal, not Bully Ray. But one of the highlights of the entire show was the return of AJ Styles who is one of the greatest wrestlers in the world today!

Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett is clearly the best storyline and rivalry in TNA and this match really delivered. Angle proved he is still one of the best in the business. Tho when he took that bad fall off the top of the cage I thought he landed on his head and broke his neck again for sure! Why the hell would a guy as talented as him, which the neck injuries he's had taking risks and doing stupid moves like that?? But overall it was a great match, and I liked the ending even tho Kurt didn't win. Jarrett was crawling out the door towards Karen, Kurt put on the ankle lock and Karen pepper-sprayed Kurt. Jarrett tried to crawl out again, and again with the ankle lock. Karen passed Jarrett his guitar which he broke over Kurt's head and Kurt still came back and put on the ankle lock yet again. It wasn't until Karen was able to slam the cage door in his face that Kurt finally broke the hold and Jarrett escaped. Overall, a great match!

What should have been the obvious main event was the Title match. Great triple threat between the Champion Sting, and one of the best ever Rob Van Dam, oh and Anderson lol. I almost thought he was turning into the next Stone Cold with his attitude but now it seems annoying and I'm loosing interest in him. I'd rather just see Sting vs RVD. Anyways, this had to be a Hulk Hogan screw job like every title match in TNA. Its getting confusing whos screwing who anymore in TNA lol. But in this case, Hogan passed RVD the usual steel pipe to hit Sting, but RVD threw it back at Hogan and refused. Then Anderson picked it up and hit RVD knocking him out. But then Sting grabbed Anderson from behind and hit him with the Scorpion Death Drop to retain his title yet again. Good match, not as good as Kurt and Jeff, but a decent title match. 

Overall the PPV was good, but not the best and not as good as it could have been. Someone should tell Hogan or who ever really runs TNA that the bad guys don't always have to win, and every match doesn't have to end with a screw job. Sometimes you can have a fair match, without cheating or interference, and sometimes, just sometimes, the right guy can win lol. 

Sorry

First off, sorry for the lack of posts, but I've been kinda busy with a new job lol
