I actually am going to have to respectfully disagree here, chokes are illegal to my knowledge in WWE. Usually when someone's being choked they run a 5-count if I remember right.
On that note, I do think it's a crappy storyline to take away Undertaker's title, even though I think that choke he's been using was a cheesy move to begin with. I mean, they have a guy get dominated by it and bleed from the mouth, which would mean a broken larynx or soemthing, and then immediately come back the next week with no symptoms whatsoever. If they ditched the fake blood that mvoe would rule, but with it it's really crappy and fake looking. I'm sure Undertaker will end back up with the title at Judgement Day in a Hell in a Cell or something though, so I'm sure all of the worrying is probably for nothing.
And regarding that match on Monday, I was kind of surprised that they had HHH use the Crossface, since they've totally removed Chris Benoit from their records and website. Maybe that was their way of saying that they still respect Chris Benoit the wrestler, not the homicidal maniac.
Oh and the new concept match for TNA is not going to be that similar to the Elimination Chamber. Outside of the way it looks, the concept is totally different. To win the new TNA match, you have to scale all the way up and out of the top of the cage and then get down to the floor. It should be really interesting to see if they make it a heavyweight or an X division match, although I think it will have to be X division just because I don't think that too many guys in the heavyweight division could make that climb (except maybe Hernandez, he's a beast).
