The only person to benefit from this Cole-Lawler feud, in my opinion, is Josh Mathews. I think he's been very good.

How the f**k does Michael Cole not benefit from this fued?! The guy is more over than he's ever been!

Mick Foley sounded drunk or on smack last night on Impact.

[Shuggie_Murray7]

[Ludo*1]

Done that quiz and got 92. Severely disappointed with myself as I should have got a lot more.

I forgot the Big Show amongst other such obvious ones as Albert (I got Test) and any of the Holly's and I never even got Animal or Hawk.

[forehead7]

I spent about an hour or so, procrastinating, doing WWE/F related quizzes on Sporcle last night. Loads like name all the holders of WWE, Heavyweight, IC, US, European, Hardcore belts and others.

It was pretty good but I'm ashamed at some of the ones I missed.

[Shuggie_Murray7]

R-Truth is fast becomign my favourite. I find his new "aff his heid" gimmick to be very believable.

[DomDom]

R-Truth's delivery on the mic is amazing. He makes even the worst material sound pure amazing. His "hospital food" comment last week was atrocious, but HE made it funny. Then you had this week's generic promo which dazzled thanks to his weird "I know this sounds stupid, but I'm revelling in it" style of delivery.

[Shuggie_Murray7]

They should have turned R-Truth heel a long tme ago. His character was so dull it was worth trying him out as a heel this time last year. They've given him a chance and he's been superb. The way he has been playing the character who doesn't want to do what he has been doing but can't control it is awesome.

Match Comments : I thought the final two was a bit much at times. The gauntlet was good fun though. Plenty of decent action with some of the PWG homegrowns.

Match Winners : The Young Bucks

Match Rating : ****1/4

Match Comments : Well that's an incredible ending to the tournament. Akira Tozawa coming back into the match was predictable but it was well timed and sent the fans into a frenzy. Kevin Steen puts on an unreal performance here though as the babyface in peril with more fight than the Young Bucks thought possible. Super match.

Another super show from the promotion that can seemingly do no wrong at the present. Incidentally, their upcoming weekend of shows, All Star Weekend has THESE cards which look ridiculously good.

TMZ are usually pretty accurate with their news. They broke the Michael Jackson death long before any of the "bona fide" news channels.

I hope thye dont induct him. They had no intention to when he was alive so why do it now he is dead?

[forehead7]

Because he deserves to be in it. The only reason he hasn't been inducted yet is because of some allegations that probably aren't true, nothing wrestling related and him and Vince probably don't see eye to eye. Well now that isn't a problem, Vince needs to swallow his pride and give Randy the spot that he deserves.

I'm going out tonight but tomorrow and Sunday will be spent watching old PPVs and youtube clips of the great man at work.
