Get bent, asshole.

I love you too.

[Jurn]

Alright both of you, knock that shit off.
It's childish, off-topic and uncalled for.

[Saiya]

Back to the real topic, anybody else think the Hitman/McMahon match just became the most intriguing match on the Mania card? I wonder how they'll work a match, much less a no-dq match, without hitting Bret's head...

[Jurn]

Yeah, I wonder in what shape Bret's athleticism is and stuff.
Vince is able to tell a good story in the ring though, so I think it'll turn out decent.

[Saiya]

Yeah, can't forget Vince has had some Mania classics with lesser hands (Hogan and Shane), and since even a post stroke Hitman is better than a healthy Hogan... I have hopes.

But I also hope Bret doesn't hurt himself.

[Jurn]

Well everyone's hoping that of course, it'd be terrible if something'd happen to Hart.
Hogan vs Vince at 'Mania was great, just because of Vince. WM19 was in general really good, Rock vs Austin, HHH vs Booker, Lesnar vs Angle, etc.

[Saiya]

I actually thought Trips Vs. Booker was one of the weaker matches on the card. Hogan and Vince was a classic, and far better than expected. Rock and Austin were just incredible whenever they stepped into a Mania ring together. And we can't forget the first meeting of HBK and Jericho.

But yeah. XIX is my second fave Mania right now, just a tiny bit behind X7. Not even Chyna vs. Ivory could bring that down.

[Jurn]

Yeah X7 was great, just a really good card and quality high matches.

Also, is WWE hellbent on burying McIntyre?

TLC II, Taker Vs. Trips, Angle Vs. Voldemort, Shane Vs. Vince, and of course, Austin/Rock II. Great card.

And I ask the same about Ziggler... And Swagger... And Christian... And Kingston... Actually, on that last one, I'd say they are.

[Jurn]

I hope they push Ziggler and Swagger, both should have Intercontinental and United States champion already. Christian'll probably win MITB and Kingston, well I don't know what they're going to do with him but they'd be stupid to waste that feud he had with Orton.

[Saiya]

Not only do I predict Christian will win MITB, but he'll also win the World Title in the same night.

And yeah, Swagger should be more than fodder for Santino and Yoshimitsu to have fun with. Same with Evan Bourne. Hopefully they both can prove to the brass that they're better than just Raw's weekly enhancement talents.

And Ziggler... God, he's been wasted so badly. He gets over with the crowd, has a brilliant character of Mr. Perfect 2.0, overcomes the original gimmick of being Mister Introduction, and they just go cold on him.

[Jurn]

I really don't get the whole Ziggler situation, first they push him quite good with wins over Kahli and being number one contender for the IC title for a while and then they just ditch him. I hope he really does break out soon, just like Swagger and Bourne. Swagger was ECW champion and then the Ziggler story happened, Bourne is really over with the crowd and he barely ever gets in a decent match.
But hopefully everything will come full circle in the end.

[Saiya]

Bourne should be Raw's Mysterio, not Sheamus' whipping boy. He's too over and too good to just be a JTTS.

And what about the Hart Dynasty? You'd think with Bret coming back, they'd be getting a HUGE push, but nope. They don't even get a Mania paycheck, while another thrown together team goes for the titles.

But at least it's not TNA.

[Jurn]

Hahaha yeah, I thought something'd happen with Bret and the Dynasty but apparently they cba. It's a shame, cause I like them much more as a team than Jomo and Truth.
Bourne is indeed too over to be pushed to the side like he is, although I am glad that he got into MITB. I hope they just take time to kinda make him into Ultimate Underdog #2.

[Saiya]

So, TNA did a 0.5 while Raw did a 3.3 last night.

That "only a year left" prediction is looking mighty good right now...

[psychoblue]

TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!

Thank god I'm not at the Impact Zone. I think I'd lose 50 IQ points by being part of those imbeciles.

[Saiya]

Whenever I watch it, I die a bit inside. Like, srsly, WWE may not have the best programming sometimes, but at least it's not as horrifyingly bad as a monster with a green lantern complex.

[psychoblue]

Surprised you guys haven't talked about it yet, but RIP Monday Night Impact. I have to wonder where TNA goes from here.

[Saiya]

Well, I'm the only active wrestling fan here, (you could change that, y'know) so no surprise there.

But yeah, I knew it was only a matter of time. What'll really make me laugh is if TNA's ratings still don't improve.
