I've only seen TNA once as I keep forgetting when it comes on. Raven was cool back in the WCW days and the old WWE days (never seen ECW). And was cool when I saw him in TNA that one time.

Who here agrees that WWE should have more hilarity like back when Perry Saturn was around still with Moppy? Too much seriousness just makes it a snooze fest I think.

Well, to do that they would require people with better mic skills and - gasp - personalities!

That's true but I guess they won't do nothing about it to help improve how the wrestlers act for their personalities given in the storylines. Mic skills just gets better within time I guess.

True... but if you're a natural then you don't need sillyness to get you over. For Eugene it has worked but that is a separate case from any other wrestler breaking in and so to get mic skills over I think they need practice not just on sillyness but generally too. How much time do JBL, Trips, Flair, Bischoff, Theodore, Guererro and Kane get each week? I would like to see some more trash talkin from Shelton, Christian and co. they need that recognition as much as anyone.

I keep wondering about this Chris Masters coming in.... the name is corny ("The Masterpiece") and the vids are good but will this guy have actual in-ring ability and personality? I really hope he's not another Nathan Jones. *Has a fit*.

I think Masters is another OVW guy being brought up before he's 100% ready to go... They have a REALLY bad habit at doing this.

He's not a past TE winner, I know that much... I don't *think* he was a TE guy but I could be mistaken, they've signed enough participants in the past for that to be possible.

Ok last night's SmackDown! was one of the best they had with Batista showing up.

Also, my bf said that Triple H set-up JBL's limo being there on RAW. I wonder if he is right about that or not?

Batista's at NWO too although the odds of him taking the SD title match are 0.00000001%. Give or take a few decimals.

The plan WOULD be to have HHH be behind trying to get Batista to take the SD title match so he can duck him, but that's not gonna be the case. (Basically, the storyline is that he's scared to hell of him.)

Yeah and that makes Batista try to take the gold from Triple H at WM. One thing I can't figure out is if Theodore Long is going to stay General Manager or not.

Teddy long has been retained as SD GM a week ago, thankfully. It only makes sense seeing how there'd be no one to take over for him at the position.

Oh, and the following RAW, HHH already confirmed it: he DID set up JBL's limmo nearly running over Dave, and Batista is, infact, staying on RAW. Come WM 21, I smell a title change.

Yeah I'm glad Teddy Long stayed GM for SD! At Wrestlemania I hope both Cena and Bastista win the titles from JBL and HHH.

Cena has a STRONG chance to win the title from JBL although I don't think he's ready for it - charisma, yes, but his in-ring work is AWFUL. The F-U is the worst finisher in all of wrestling, IMO.

Batista could beat HHH for the title but that's a 50/50 thing there. Regardless of what happens, he has to look STRONG. If he loses to HHH, there'd better be a really good reason as to why it happened. And if he wins, it has to be decisive.

Especially considering that they made him drop the US title. Had he kept that going into Wrestlemania, I would have pegged him for a sure loss.

his in-ring work is AWFUL

I do not think it is his ring ability so much as his old gimmick. It has really lost its charm... for me at least.

The F-U is the worst finisher in all of wrestling, IMO.

No, Chris Masters has got him beat. Master's finisher is just a full nelson.

Batista could beat HHH for the title but that's a 50/50 thing there.

This one is a tough one to call. I give the edge to Batista just because its Wrestlemania, and they tend to like to shake things up there. If anyone other than Triple H was involved, I would lock Batista in as a sure thing. Since it is Wrestlemania, I say it will be a decisive win no matter who comes out on top, though there could still be some foul play involved.

I can surely think that foul play will be used during both matches at Wrestlemania but there is also a chance that there won't be foul play. 50/50 right there both matches.

As for worse moves what about the spear or gore since it's only a strong tackle. I can say that Chris Masters has a lame move as well. Can't people at least try to make finishing moves a little original to what they use?

Yeah, but at least it looks like a move that would finish someone off, not just something that most wrestlers use in the middle of a match to rest.

Usually the face goes over in the WM main event - if for SOME reason HHH/Batista wasn't the main event, then you can smell something fishy there.

Cena's in-ring work at the moment is not good. He's shown the potential to have good matches but I'd have to agree that the gimmick's part of it. Would have been nice if the F-U was a regular Death Valley Driver again, but heaven forbid that more guys end up needing spinal fusion surgery.

I was always under the impression that it was a modified Fireman's Carry.

Course, with my spotty memory, a DVD may be a modified FC.

Hm. WM21 is shaping up to be pretty good, much more so than what was apparant a few weeks ago. Having Hulk on the Hall Of Fame is a definite plus for me, and at the least Roddy and Austin will be fun. The card as well will be good: Batista and HHH will be full of atmosphere, the 6-man ladder match will be a no-brains spot fest (Im rooting for Christian baby), the Michaels-Angle encouter looks absolutely awesome and the expected London-Guerrero match looks a treat too. Though I do wonder that Taker-Orton is a little.... mismanaged. Orton is trying to get his old side while still staying good, and unless they swerve him completely before WM21 then it'll be an uncomfortable match.

The FU to me is just a modified Fireman's Carry, a cheap response to Lesnar's much-missed F5. Cena doesn't even land on his knees anymore, he just stands and drops them like they were taking a bodyslam, giving a horrible sense of lack of reality. And not in the good Petey Williams Canadian Destroyer way, either.

Cena used to go down harder on the F-U - it actually looked like it did a bit of damage. More than it would today. Then Vince decided that they had to cut down on paying for the neck surgeries.
