To say the least. To say the least.

His current gimmick in TNA is horrible! But I like his style and skill. I can see him doing TNA and Japan for a very long time, but never WWE. He's just not the look WWE is going for.

What's his gimmick in TNA?

WWE is not a safe place for many young talents. It's not where one would achieve legend status.

Right now he's on a rampage, doing a bunch of stupid stuff, getting dq'ed allot. Basically junk. Has black pants and has his face painted up like Umanga.

Another thing that bothers me right now. Evan Borne is nothing but a cheap copy of AJ Styles. He's not even a GOOD copy. AJ sucks on the mic in all honesty, but when they let that boy wrestle, he can go at it.

Didn't Samoa Joe "kill" Scott Steiner at Destination X and then later say we was going to "kill" all of Main Event Mafia one by one? What the hell is up with that?

AJ Styles is amazin' in the ring, but I never seen him on the mic.

What's his 'reason' for goin' on a rampage? I thought that he's a baby-face..

He was so annoying when he was a face. Dancing with Hornswoggle and their cheap antics bored me.

I actually liked it... not the dancing, but the pranks with the water and the small ladder. xD

What happened to Big Daddy V? He is in SVR 09, and I haven't heard anything about him latley.... xD

His heath issues did contribute to some of his problems.

They had no story line for him, that was the other problem.

Vernikova March 27th, 2009 10:51 AM

They could've put him on a Mark Henry-esque role or have him get "injured" for later use. No?

Honest March 27th, 2009 12:23 PM

I perfered it when he tag-teamed with Henry, but tehy shouldnt have taken him out like that. I like what WP (Warped Reflection) said, putting him on the 'injured' list. xD

McMahon Shoves SmackDown Aside
By Daniel Pena

source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

-- Original plans called for the Big Show vs. Edge match to main event last week's edition of SmackDown, but Vince McMahon pulled it from the show and put it on Monday's Raw instead. McMahon then had a blow up because head SmackDown writer Michael Hayes wanted to make last week's SmackDown a loaded show, but told him there are more important things going on right now than the 500th episode of SmackDown. Hayes wanted to do a major Raw vs. SmackDown interbrand match on the 500th episode of SmackDown, but McMahon nixed it as well.

Well, thats foul. I was expecting crazy matches for the 500th episode, like Hell in a Cell, Inferno, whatever. Why is Vince doing this?!

West's Heel Turn
By Daniel Pena

source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

-- TNA officials have already decided to tone down Don West's heel act. They felt they went too far with it and had to get it under control. West will continue to play a heel, but rather, a subtle heel, like on the last two episodes of Impact. Although, West really only acts heelish when The Beautiful People are wrestling or when the babyfaces do something outrageously stupid.


---------------------------------
Ok, if haven't been watching TNA, your missing one of the best Heal Turn's I've ever seen. Many people say Down West sucks as an announcer, and they would be correct. But this heal turn was so well done, a major surprise for TNA, they should have never stopped it. I was actually on the edge of my seat sometimes when Don West would go heal during a show in the last few weeks. Hes a GREAT heal. Made the announcing all that more entertaining.

Thanks for letting us down again, TNA...

Honest March 29th, 2009 9:49 AM

Smackdown was crazy. That Undretaker and HBK thing at the end was HILARIOUS!

I wanted McCool to be Diva Champ. :( Was that girl Gail Kim, or whatever?

The begginning was nice, with Cristian falling of the ladder. xD

Vernikova March 29th, 2009 2:48 PM

Gail Kim on SmackDown! was the best part of the night. It was really the only part that kept me awake.

I heard about that. I hope that she can actually help the women's division.

Because Vince is so aggravated, he lost his conscience.

Lol. Hell in a Cell and Inferno matches are toooo rare to be showcased in the 500th episode. ;)

It just shows how much McMahon loves Raw.

Now that Edge and Big Show squared it off, what becomes of their match in W25?

Vernikova March 29th, 2009 3:02 PM

The only way I see the Women's division get help is if the unify the division, better writing, and add a few more divas.

A few more, talented divas. Also, they should seriously put Finlay over as the diva's trainer. He's the one who made Lita and Trish into legends.

ONE talented diva would be good.

I missed SmackDown! What happened with the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels?

Vernikova March 30th, 2009 1:55 AM

Shawn Micheals dressed up in Taker's coat and everything else but in an all white attire. He taunted Taker and ran away when Taker came from under the ring.

12 Rounds A "Nightmare" For WWE
Written by Richard Gray

Steven Mallas of BloggingStocks.com blogged yesterday on 12 Rounds failing on opening weekend, calling it "a nightmare for WWE." Below is what Mallas had to write about the film's failure and his advice to investors:

One thing's completely unambiguous: World Wrestling Entertainment (NYSE: WWE) failed with 12 Rounds. The picture looked like it could have done good business, but even big-gun distributor News Corp. (NYSE: NWS) couldn't push this one into the top five. Right now, 12 Rounds is in seventh place with around $5 million in its purse. WWE needed to hit with this one, as I observed in my preview piece. Now, I'm not sure what the movie cost to make. But I've read a couple sources, including this one, that seem to imply that the budget was somewhere around $20 million. I could believe that. No matter what, this couldn't have been an ultra-low budget affair, thus making a $5 million opening weekend simply unacceptable.

So, we have a tale of two media stocks. One scores at the box office, one is down for the count. Take WWE first: this really is a major blow since the company is spending a lot of money to be in the movie business and since its cash-flow statement isn't great right now. The market doesn't seem to see it that way, though. As I write this, shares of WWE are down only 1.9%. That might sound like a lot, but honestly, on a down day like today, it doesn't seem like a bad hit. Vince McMahon needs to work on his movie model, though. My best advice is to work on concept first. Don't try to make the movies mere vehicles for his talent roster. For some reason, that doesn't work. I'm not sure why. On paper, throwing John Cena before the camera should be gold. It's not. The other thing is: don't spend a lot on the projects. Try to make movies for $5 million or less. A lot less. It can be done. I don't think I'd buy WWE today, even on its weakness. I'll need to see more information on how its cash-flow statement is doing during the next quarterly report.

Smackdown Announcer Tazz Departs From WWE
By Brad Ingles

Smackdown announcer Tazz contract expired today and last night's taping of Smackdown was his final WWE broadcast. He has not been on good terms with Vince McMahon and has been yelled at several times. According to friends, Tazz was talked out of confronting Vince at least once about his aggressive production style.
