Anyone know if they aired the FCW show where Seth won the heavyweight championship?

Unfortunately, it didn't air - the 04/01 episode showed his post-match celebration, but not the match itself, although the re-match with Leo Kruger took place later that episode.
And...OMG, WTF is this shit???? My eyes. They burn.

I see that WrassleGAF has been replaced by KaneGAF.
I suggest you carry on through tomorrow evening during RAW once the inevitably disappointing RAW taping results have been posted.
We should take bets on which meaningless midcard belt gets passed around like a whore in England. The tag titles, the US title or the divas title?
I suppose Big Show could job the IC belt back to Cody seeing how that entire angle was built around winning at Mania but I rather doubt that.
Oh wait... I'm doing this wrong. One sec...

being able to use the door to win was the worst idea in the history of steel cage matches.

I don't even really like cage matches where the object is to escape - the purpose of the cage should be to contain the violence, to make sure there's no interference, or to ensure that a competitor can't get themselves intentionally counted out. It should be a feud ender, not just another gimmick match.
I don't have an issue with escape as long as the only method is climbing out, since you have to beat the living piss out of your opponent to have the time to do that. The fucking door kills all the tension.

Without an English wrestler currently active on the roster the odds of a random title change decrease, if only Wade Barrett wasn't injured. Anyway the random title changes seem to usually be angled for a face pop so if anyone goes down i'm betting on divas or tag belts, plus they are worthless anyway, well more worthless.
I have to say, it's kind of weird waking up every morning to many Kane related posts, i'm not sure whether as a Kane fan i'm missing out or dodging a bullet, maybe a little bit of both.

NAH COS ITS IN THAT THERE LONDON. Might attend the local 'Revenge Tour'. Maybe. Went to one back in 2004 and remember me and a couple of mates just ripping into Coach for a good 30 minutes. Credit to him he offered a bit of banter back. Much laughter. Think it helped we got free tickets.
My mate, big Dean Malenko mark, marked out when he came down to watch a Divas match at ringside. He was trying to get Malenko's attention, but he was having none of it. Much laughter.

Yeah, the UK shows always seem to be shit. Ticket prices are horrendous, as well.
I wonder if Brock even travelled.

Still haven't been to a UK Raw, judging by the quality of a standard Raw a house show would probably be a better option if I did cough up the money.

Yeah, I guess the fact that very little happens on UK TV tapings doesn't help either. I went to one in Birmingham and was treated to 3 UMANGA matches. Crowd tried their best to care, but were dead.
I am, saying that I haven't had much luck with uk Raws. I went to the raw where santino had his tea party with sheamus and cena destroyed most of the nexus. I did go to a decent smackdown after swagger cashed in the mitb.
Couldn't agree more. Felt like a deja vu, since the same thing happened at BFG last year.
Storm also looked legitimately pissed after the match too. Flipped Hebner off and went straight to his family. I wonder if there was a last minute decision to make the champ retain like last time, since all indications pointed to a Storm win.
Also, this is the first time I've felt that a TNA show would have been better in the Impact Zone. Talk about a dead crowd.
The guy going Wooo-wooo-woooooooooooo from when Flair arrived all the way till the end of the main event made me want to punch his face in.

Listening to the Observer Radio today, Meltzer is saying Storm was planned to win up until about a week ago and then some "very vocal forces" started saying it was the wrong move and obviously they won out. I'm wondering if vocal forces=Hulk Hogan.
Sometimes I feel like this company is on repeat.

So I guess I was right with this being BFG 2.0. Flipping Hebner off was very uncharacteristic of Storm and so was him jumping into the crowd to be with his family.
How stupid can TNA be? They just had their best build up to a match that I can remember. The emotion and story portrayed was believable, something which is rare in pro wrestling today, yet they blew it all away with last minute changes.
I personally think that what happened post BFG turned out for the better. Storm winning the title and then being turned on by Roode worked out well. Hopefully TNA have a good vision for this, but to change a decision one week before a PPV and the 'start of a new beginning' doesn't exactly give me much hope that these changes we've been hearing about will make much of a difference.

Turning Roode heel atleast made some sense. If TNA was smart they could have done that without him losing at BFG also. Have him win the title at BFG, give Storm his rematch, turn heel and hit the bottle during that match. Obviously TNA can't think of something like that so they had him lose, piss off fans who paid for that, give Storm a 1 week title reign, and then give it to Roode. What they did here to Storm made absolutely no sense at all.
I went to Liverpool and Manchester's RAW/SD tapings last year, but going down to London is too much hassle. Hope they'r back in the north west in November, but they'll probably go to Newcastle or something like that for the tapings.

WELL I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING DUDE, JAMES STORM HE AIN'T READY BROTHER.
Huh....I had no idea till just now that John Laurinaitis and Road Warrior Animal were brothers. Just saw Animal's last name in an article where he backed out of the Toronto Wrestlereunion due to some charity work commitments in Africa and his name was Joe Laurinaitis. They don't really look like brothers....or sound like it.
