Sure, some of you might have known black people and Jesus were going to win all along.  I’m sure Ted Dibiase did.  But I will admit now in hindsight that I should have known too.  Here Kurt Angle runs his mouth and we know the rest.  Because of forces we do not understand, and black people, Kurt Angle is now on a show where women are watched more than he is and he can only muster the strength to put those old bones in the ring one day a month.  It’s like he’s some kind of pro wrestler werewolf that only gets his powers under a full moon.  So sad.

For those of you that missed it, or don’t watch ECW, or just haven’t watched wrestling in a while, Matt Sydal is now wrestling on ECW. And if you’re upset with what WWE has done with ECW it is worth it to watch and see Sydal wrestle as Evan Bourne.

I was wondering just what in the hell the E was thinking not having Santino on every RAW. Maybe it was so I would get blown away by his return. And for him to confront Mysterio? Great. “The Batman?” Hilarious. I am already digging this feud.

Cena gets escorted out by JBL’s thugs and returns at the end of the show with Cryme Tyme?! TWIB?!!! Forget the stable of legacy wrestlers, forget the Dudleys and Booker, this is the faction I want to see. Vince always seems excited to see Cryme Tyme so it just makes sense that he would team them with his golden boy. I really hope this is happening. I mean I marked the fuck out! I might have finally called something right (previous blog).

I’m not sure if this is TNA’s intention but they should become the alternative to WWE. Does Warrior going to TNA do that? No. But in the time it takes Warrior to come back they could improve. They could dump the stuff that loses viewers like Lethal’s wedding and, just for the hell of it, have Lethal have a good feud and showcase his skills. That goes for the entire X division. And honestly, I can’t be too hard on TNA because they seem to be going in the right direction (Lethal is about to stomp Dutt, AJ feuding with Angle, Joe as champ vs Booker - all good things). If they keep things up and keep going towards more respectable wrestling they could draw in and keep tons of viewers with a return by the Warrior. Seriously, even if Warrior is a flop, the amount of viewers he would bring in during his first month would be huge. And yeah, we doubted this at first but you would not believe how many hits Warrior gets on the internet. He’s like John Cena and Hornswoggle rolled into one (read previous apology to Vince McMahon article by James for explanation on Hornswoggle). His youtube video of the beginning of his return match was already over 200,000 hits one day later and you can find the same number of hits on his return workout videos. Come on TNA. Just one month. One pay-per-view. Become the next thing to make WWE drop one in their pants. And for those down on Warrior he has made significant progress in a short amount of time. With TNA’s production this dude will look scary if they get around to signing him.

Here we see the entrance and start of Warrior’s return match. Word is Warrior blew out his knee which explains why he hobbles down to the ring. But I guess he decided he was going to go all out anyways. Of course you can’t turn back when you put a countdown on your website. And you can’t walk to the ring when your music shreds like that. And if you’re beating your chest, jumping onto turnbuckles, and shaking the ropes like a madman you can’t finish your entrance without showing off your daughters in their sunshine yellow dresses. AWWWWW.

For those of you that have been watching RAW in the last few months you know what TNAB meant. So you should figure out what TWIB means if I tell you I’m talking about John Cena. I know what you’re saying. “Why are you talking about John Cena? Don’t you know all his fans wear high heels?” Sure, if you still don’t know what it means then ask your girlfriend. If she doesn’t answer give me a ring and I’ll wake her up. Anyways, what I’m saying is this, Cena hit rock bottom last week when Trips called him uncoordinated and told him all his fans were in bed and Cena did nothing but put Trips over. John Cena needs to go back to his old gimmick. Hell, after this draft, RAW needs Cena to go back to his old gimmick. No more boring promos and patting backs. We need throwbacks and sideways caps. Steel Chains and battle raps. ENOUGH OF THIS CLEAN MARINE BULLCRAP.

Now we have Batista and Kane on RAW. Cena is sure to face these guys and he just can’t do it with this “good sport” routine they’re scripting for him. We need the Doctor of Thuganomics. And this video of Cena rapping about Lesnar (who is Batista-like in many ways) should show even the haters of Cena’s old gimmick that it needs to come back yesterday.

PS. Apparently Vince McMahon died tonight. He was 103. Cocaine was not the cause of death.

Here’s a link to the site for Midway’s TNA game for the home consoles.  It looks pretty awesome, but when it comes to wrestling games, the only thing I care about is the play control.  What I hope is that the game will be a huge hit and get TNA some press.

Here’s the match from 1981 All Japan Pro Wrestling where Stan “the Lariat” Hansen body slammed Andre the Giant.  It’s also Andre’s best match ever.
