I didn't get to watch the end of WSX...who won the title match?

Thank god!

 

I didn't even bother to watch TNA last night. Doesn't sound like I missed much.

You HEAR that Russo? One of TNA's biggest fans, who practically counted the days to the next PPV being released on DVD for years, is not even watching Impact anymore.

Hope you're happy.

I am hereby on strike from professional wrestling. No RAW, ECW, Smackdown OR TNA.

Not until SOMEBODY decides to pull their heads out of the butts and give me quality entertainment that doesn't make me feel like a I'm being treated like a 13-year-old.

Mannheimadler, it was nice knowing you. The days of something worthwhile is just about over. Even fresh matchups like Angle vs. Joe are stale. Sure, RVD comes to TNA, gets matches with a few new faces and great ... for a bit and only if Russo is kept away from the booking.

As for Hogan saying he's done with WWE, please tell me you aren't falling for that. When has Hogan ever told the truth?

 

I didn't say I was ... but it appears, thankfully, that we won't have to put up with a Hogan-Khali match.

 

Oh god no.

 

I've downloaded a bunch of wrestling intro songs to listen to on my MP3 player as I work out. My favorites so far are Goldberg, HHH and CM Punk. Any others that you think would make a good workout song? My wrestling history consists of about 1997-98 and about the past year and a half, so anyone who wasn't wrestling then, I've probably not heard.
