Well Cena has such great charisma to the point where he could actually make fans believe hes a thug with WWE marketing behind his back. Cenas a good wrestler but ever since he hit the top all we ever see him do is punches basically and he has the worst finisher since the peoples elbow, lol. Anyway I heard Angle would be facing HBK, which actually gives me a reason to watch a RAW aside from seeing some legends I grew up watching.

More Importantly TNA Debuts on spike, they actually put their talent to good use.
I totally agree, and I've been waiting for this for a while since TNA has always been an under-rated product yet here they are going national. For those wondering Impact's debut on Spike TV this Saturday at 11pm EST.
Anyway for new viewers what you can expect is for one TNA has better talent & fresher faces. It's easier to watch for the kids as well while giving the older viewers more respect and not insulting any of our "intelligence" then what WWE does on a daily bases. On top of that they bust their butts off in new style matches in an octagon ring that I thought would be hard to get use to but now that I see how they use it for better matches I wished they had this 10-20 years ago, heh. They have 3 meaningful titles rather than like 6-7 meaningless titles and of course actual tag teams, lol. For people who enjoy seeing the big names in the business this company has Jeff Jarrett, Raven, Rhyno, Kevin Nash, Kip James (Also known as Billy Gunn) BG James (Also known as Road Dogg), Jeff Hardy, Team 3-D (Also known as Dudley Boyz), Sabu and more. If you don't care about big names well take a look at guys like AJ Styles, Monty Brown, Christopher Daniels, Petey Williams and my favorite, Samoa Joe plus many more.

Overall wrestling fans should be happy for both companies, because even though I personally don't like the WWE like I use to, I don't want either company to die because they both need compatition to entertain instead of us having to deal with the stale leftovers of the last Monday Night War where WWE has become so dull they actually have enough time to release a whole DVD that buries the Ultimate Warriors career because of a grudge against him in '91, did they forget Warrior drew as big of a crowd as Hogan? And I'm not even a Warrior fan.

I'm watchingi t right now. Stone Cold (the greatest wrestler ever) was just on. That Crap was so fake though. Dude, when he 'stunned' Ms McMahon, he missed, and yet she was still stunned XD But it was really awesome. He drank 8 cans of beer, though I'm not really sure if it was beer, cause it kinda looked like a Brisk can XD

And Vince McMahon looks more like Kermit the Frog then ever but just know WWE fans, not to expect guys who made the show like Austin to be back on the next RAW cuz' they tend to do that to the fans, always have. RAW drew a 4.4 which is alot better then their 3.2 last week. Unfortunatley for TNA their debut, was a not surprising 0.8 when everyone was hoping for 1.0. But only reason why I looked up the ratings is because I want TNA to stay on the air since I obviously enjoy the product and can you blame me? They only get a mere 1 hour program yet they somehow jam pack it full of plenty of matches where you see moves that haven't been seen before like that canadian destroyer that Petey Williams does is literally the sickest finishing move I have EVER seen. But question is how can you get this through thick headed WWE fans? Answer is you can't so I'm just gonna stop talking now, lol.

Yeah boy that move is insane. I can't figure out how he does it, people really do need to wake up and see what they're missing.

I find it amusing that Bonnie Hammer (Or whoever is in charge of USA, although I know she still runs Sci-Fi) is bringing back the show that put the network on the map at the end of the 90's. I'm curious though, why the resurgence? I knew the UPN run was enough to keep it going but...not enough to be a dominant force.

And their rivals, Turner's WCW is gone now. So...what's left? It's a pity as I was enjoying USA being the dumping ground of the Law and Order spinoffs. Shifty eyes.

Maybe it's tribute for the profit it gave USA over the years? I dunno. But to those who missed it, enjoy.

Incidentally, I was interested in this briefly in 99. Or when Sable quit. My friends. Cursed peer pressure. Shifty eyes.

well...its becouse flair did win the title
16 times and tripleh only won it 10
times
Well, Triple H's favorite wrestler growing up has always been Ric Flair as he stated while back on Off the Record. With him being in such a comfy position in the WWE, being a former multiple WWE champion along with being the son-in-law of Vince, he might have a bit of creative control back stage or may of just noted to the bookers that he wants to wrestle Flair, I don't know since I'm not at the backstage but I'm pretty sure there is a more in-depth reason to it, I mean who knows? It might be the Nature Boy's last match before hanging up the boots with Triple H considering how old he is and how long he's been actually wrestling.

Jim Ross got the boot last night he got fired
Latest on Jim Ross and WWE - Backstage reaction to storyline on RAW
Reported by Adam Martin of WrestleView.com
On Tuesday, October 11, 2005 at 5:24 PM EST

The word backstage from RAW last night in Corpus Christi, TX is that Jim Ross is officially done as an on-air announcer for WWE. There was said to be many who felt the writing team, and more importantly the McMahon's, didn't send off Ross in the right way if this ends up being his final appearance as a broadcaster for the company. The feeling was that a tribute could have been utilized for Ross as opposed to using his storyline firing as an excuse to put over Linda McMahon's heel turn.

At the moment, WWE's goal is to put a new, young, energetic announcer on the air for RAW's broadcast team. With Mike Goldberg turning down the offer and instead choosing to re-sign with UFC, it remains to be seen who WWE has interest in bringing in. As noted earlier, the qualifications for this position does not require an extensive knowledge of pro wrestling or even any knowledge of the business period. It is possible the WWE could use announcers they already have and push them into the spot for RAW next week, including Josh Mathews and even former ECW announcer Joey Styles.

In regards to Ross' future with WWE, we do know that his contract is up in less than a year. After that point, he would be free to go anywhere he wants. This has already prompted rumors of possibly heading to TNA once his WWE deal is up. Although Mike Tenay is considered the top announcer for that company since it began, the addition of Ross would no doubt help TNA's product overall. However, that is just simply talk as Ross could very well renew his deal with WWE and simply work behind-the-scenes and remain off the air. Another option for Ross could also include Ring of Honor. It should be noted that when Ross was fired by WWE many years ago, he went and announced for Smokey Mountain Wrestling. What may make or break this situation is if there is a large backlash by WWE fans to this move (ala Matt Hardy). If that doesn't happen, this past Monday night was Jim Ross' last appearance on WWE TV for now.

Yea, they'll most likely fued down the road since Triple H is helping get the new guys over, he proved that losing 3 straight times to Batista, which seems to be the theme of today in WWE, when people pay all that money for a pay per view, what's the point when you're going to see the exact same matches on RAW/Smackdown the next show for free. (Example: Matt Hardy/Edge, Batista/JBL, John Cena/Chris Jericho, Eugene/Kurt Angle and so on...) lol.

But as for Jim Ross, I'd like to see JR in TNA but I doubt that'd ever happen never say never but it's probably just wishful thinking of me. He'll probably do backstage work like always along with that internet thing Vince want's to kick off, I heard about.

Basically, Vinnie Mac has a stranglehold on the entire industry. About the only thing non-inde that he doesn't own is TNA. Plus, TNA has just barely begun to be advertised (only a handful of channels have ads for it). Personally, I think that if more people were aware of its existence, and who's all in it, we'd see more of a following.
