So where does Leben sit as far as title shot now? I'm glad he won as maybe it'll shut up some of the morons on the net claiming the TUF guys are talentless losers.

Jay Lethal also got a contract.

I've noticed from a lot of boards that there's no patience for things to work themselves out anymore. I've seen several people whine that Moore/Styles and NAO/Latin American Exchange weren't on the PPV. Whatever happened to building things up. PPVs aren't just this monthly reset on storylines.

Christian winning the NWA World Title would be good in a lot of ways. It would further encourage mid-carders in the WWF to jump ship.

That's about the direction I thought they'd go in. Hopefully they go for Sting/Abyss and Rhino/Brown instead of the other way around. I wonder who Samoa Joe's next victim will be.

Wow. 4 seconds.

It's fucking pathetic that the WWF Champion is getting beat up by a 55 year old man right now. Remember when they used to make fun of WCW for having 45 year old men in the main events?

I'll catch it in the morning so I can skip the commercials. Then hopefully if the matches are good I'll record it onto DVD.

I've really been enjoying the James Gang/Latin American Exchange angle. I basically can't stand any of the workers in the angle other than Homicide but it's been booked really well. Konnan and BG James have cut some excellent promos the last couple of Impacts.

I doubt he gets much of a look after last night. He got brought back because he had a good string of matches for them in the summer.

I guess it's just a pipe dream to hope they'll ever give Misterio a main event push.

For the record I thought it was a good show. Their worst PPV in awhile but that's not saying much. Joe/Daniels was very good, the two six mans and the main event were good and Killings/Roode was decent. Styles/Tanahashi was acceptable. Raven/Waltman was completely awful and everything else hovered in the watchable but totally forgettable category.

Sting looked really good. He kept it fairly basic but he didn't blow up or anything and he did a lot of rope running. That recap makes the main event sound a lot worse than it really was.

Both six mans were pretty good. Styles/Tanahashi was solid for the most part but I expect it to get massively shit on because they worked a more Japanese style of match and kept things grounded.

Rumor has it that Tanahashi wants to put the U-30 belt on the line tonight.

I mentioned it earlier but the net denial over Angle's condition is pathetic. These same people would be crying about how unexpected it was, etc. if he suddenly died too.

It's probaby his son Perro Aguayo Jr. who's currently the biggest heel in CMLL.

Gay wrestlers can get over, the Heart Throbs pulled it off in OVW, but it'll never happen in the WWF. Vince is just doesn't have the refinement in booking to pull it off. Though I've wondered for the last couple of years if Vince is repressing some serious homosexual urges.

It'd never work because they always end up chickening out. They kind of did that with the Rainbow Express in TNA but Lenny Lane kept getting hurt so they dropped the angle.

Yeah, it's good to see someone give CMLL some credit for the amazing year they had. I personally think they were better than NOAH but that's just me. Kobashi, I just don't get it. He gets a total pass because he's old and banged up and used to be good.

Didn't he say that about his feud with Kane a few years ago too?

What a baby. He could've always done the indy deal and not have to deal with this currently. No one forced him to come back.

At least this one didn't go insane on giving Eddie awards though but the Kobashi nostalgia needs to stop.

Yeah, heaven forbide they have a woman that's willing to try and become a good wrestler and wants to be there.

I was really disappointed that Harlem Heat ended his career in 98. He would've been comeback wrestler of the year if he had wrestled for more than 2 months. Just an amazing string of matches from a guy that had shown nothing in the ring since 1989.
