epecially considering that hulk looks set to take a back stage only role in TNA as well, all they need to do is get rid of the people who are blocking his good ideas while approving his bad ones.

hopefully sting will fuck off as well. although thats probably too much to ask.

Its a shame that Robert Roode is now main eventing. While i appreciate the need to push someone new, it hardly screams main event of the biggest ppv of the year. Hogan/Sting will eb far more entertaining, even if its a car crash.

I think Earl Hebner might be losing it. In the Knockouts tag match on impact Angelina's hand was still outstretched from that eyepoke to Mickie James when he turned round, almost another embarrassing botch like at No Surrender.

it has to be. hogan has admitted he struggles to swing a fucking chair now, gtfo.

roode has it all, and i'll be very surprised and annoyed if he doesnt win. and when he wins it will be one of those feel good moments with the confetti and people lifting him up and shit. americans love that stuff. will be the icing on the cake after sting beats hogan.

WWE have seriously dropped the ball with ADR. He used to have massive heat and now...nothing. When did that happen? I even forgot he was champion.

It's being over shadowed by the whole HHH/Laurinaitis thing. Speaking of which, that absolute silence when it was announced that Del Rio was defending against Cena (again) was tee-hee-larious.

Why does Cena just instantly get the match? His rematch was HIAC which he lost.

Oh yeah, so he did! I never even remember anymore. Del Rio will lose it to Cena again after the Mexico tour.

i believe the plan is for punk to head into the royal rumble either as champ or as number 1 contender, with the title for the first time in what must be about 8 years not on the line in cenas match. with punk merch outselling cena march this is not impossible.

EDIT: "would you like a reciept with your papaer bag?"

really?

Haha, I liked that. I think Orton feuding for the IC title could make it important again, which'd be ace!
