I agree on Steiner and Jarrett really needing to go. Neither of them were great in their prime and they're both long past that. I still enjoy watching Sting though.

The one guy who I really look forward to in TNA every week now is Matt Morgan. He's been wasted in the last month with this feud with Steiner that had no real substance to it though.

I suspect they keep Steiner on because they're too scared to fire him.

steiner will do no good for morgans career, look at lashley, he looked beyond terrible during his feud with steiner.

Oh FFS. How long can they drag that out? Unless they add something new to the mix sometime soon that's just wasted airtime.

"and he has said that regardless of whether or not he wins the WWE Championship, he will be leaving WWE"
seems like something has went on that we dont know all about if thats the case, or maybe he got sick of being the best guy on the roster and being on the mid card all the time...

He said on Twitter that he knew from the beginning of the year, but yeah, it probably doesn't help that he's not one of the two main-eventers in the company. I'll watch it, but on one hand it's absolutely pointless because there is absolutely no way in the world that Cena will drop the title to Punk. No way.

Also, no Ryder again, there was a segment of Michael Cole dancing though. Great. I really wish TNA was good and I could just switch or something.

For Punk to announce he is leaving and taking the title with him means 1 of 2 things

1 it's a storyline, and Punk has actually re-newed his contract in secret

2 they are retiring the belt for a new one, and having someone steal it and take it with them is a good excuse to do it

Or they'll do another Summer of Punk like in ROH. That would be entertaining though, so I don't sees it happening.

the fact thats he's said win or lose is odd though. most people would see a title run as worth sticking around for, unless he just really wants some time off.
cant see him going to tna, but i really hope that he does, and gets used properly. most likely he'll have some time off and go back to wwe though.


i hope they do retire the belt, the spinner is ridiculous, looks more like a kids toy belt than a championship belt.

The promo between Miz, Christian and Truth last night was golden. :lol:

Thought that last night's Raw was pretty good last night, even if the votes were clearly rigged. Evan Bourne v Mason Ryan, when Sin Cara* was an option? CM Punk's made a fan of me over the last twelve months, I hope him leaving is just an angle. Last night's triple threat was a top work.

* Edit: Apparently Sin Cara got 90% of the vote but a backlog of votes for the Divas match got carried over and skewed the results (http://www.wrestlescoop.com/2011/06/21/ ... john-cena/).
