The "Who are ya!?" chants were pleasing enough.
As for Punk not winning, oh well. I'm a massive Punk fan but Punk looked absolutely superior to Orton in that match. He lost to a roll-up. When he got hit by the inevitable surprise RKO, he didn't even sell it.
Anyone watching TNA, or is this WWE territory? After having not watched wrasslin' for nearly a decade, I stopped on TNA last week and actually found myself enjoying it. Jeff Jarrett and 2 others were in a 6-man tag match against Kurt Angle and friends. Jeff Jarrett ends up in the ring against Angle, runs out of the arena with his wife and to a car in the back before just getting in and taking off without his wife as Angle closes in. There was something just so classic about the whole shtick that I found it pretty funny and ended up taping the rest of the show so I could watch it later. It reminded me of old Ric Flair stuff where he'd be on his knees begging and pleading just before a beatdown.
So, general thoughts on TNA? I'd love to hear em. Seems like the roster is a bit more "classic" than what I've seen in the WWE lately.

Punk always looks superior to Randy Knockout.
The problem is Randy Knockout has a lot of fans for some reason, so he can't lose.
Punk needs to not be in this new Nexus crap. Hell, give him a feud with Austin to elevate his career.

Did anybody watch Lockdown? I'm kind of at a loss as to why
- it didn't appear to directly affect the PPV at all, and really just seemed to come across as stalling for time. What was going on there?
Bischoff walked out and cut a ten minute promo about how awesome he and Hogan are

Perhaps so, but it's still the superior wrestling product
I really can't stand how everyone in WWE takes a bump in the same generic way. FCW have a lot to answer for....
They have a great roster that's being wasted on a weekly basis due to inept booking and management. That's unfortunately been the story of TNA for quite awhile now. Occasionally, you'll get a good show here or there, but those seem to be the exception rather than the norm.Moofers said:

Definitely. Even though the only teasing of this has been a Twitter feud, I'd be exponentially more interested in Austin/Punk than I would Rock/Cena. I like The Rock but I've always been an Austin man. In the same way, I like Cena but I've always been a Punk man. WrestleMania XXVIII, make it happen.
It's amazing what a heel turn will do for a person. I loved the Truth heel turn. Although it was probably 5 minutes too long, it was well put together. Actually looking forward to what Truth does next. It might end up with Truth screwing Morrison for the title and having Miz retain.

I can understand the writing and management complaints, but there production values are pretty nice compared to other companies like ROH. They are a strong number 2 behind WWE. Unfortunately their best talent is wasted since Hogan and Bischoff came in.

I can't think of a better place to put this but I bought 3 ROH tickets for the Toronto show, and I can't go now. If anybody is interested in buying them (we can talk price over PM) let me know.

Besides the radio interview right after Wrestlemania, what else has Trish been saying?

for all the money TNA is paying Hogan, Sting, and Bischoff they could have revamped the impact zone and not make it look like a glorified Bingo Hall. They need better, music, lighting, and design.

Huh, EVOLVE has their first iPPV tonight, I totally forgot about it and Tuesday seems like a weird night for a PPV, but the card looks pretty good;
World Wrestling Network Presents
"EVOLVE 7: Aries vs. Moxley"
April 19th, 2011
Belltime: 8pm
Watch on live iPPV at www.WWNLive.com starting at 8pm!!!
The Main Event
Austin Aries (1-0) vs. Jon Moxley (1-1)
There must be a winner in this bout. This means that Moxley's career will end with him either having a winning or losing Record. Moxley is determined to say his farewell by having the match of his life. Aries is ready for the challenge. To see how important this match is, watch these promos:
Jon Moxley: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvUsE9av_48
Austin Aries: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObtMgCwgp8w&feature=channel_video_title
Spoiler Match #1
Chuck Taylor (4-2) vs. Akira Tozawa (0-0)
This will be the last of the three spoiler matches. The concept is simple. We take one of the men tied in the Wins Leader category and put them against a new debuting wrestler, who can play spoiler. This one pits two favorites of the internet wrestling community when 2010 EVOLVE MVP Chuck Taylor takes on the red hot Akira Tozawa. No hype needed here.
Spoiler Match #2
Jimmy Jacobs (4-2) vs. Shiima Xion (0-0)
Jacobs' reputation speaks for itself. Shiima Xion is charismatic, athletic and hungry to increase his reputation. This one just got very personal. Just watch these videos in order to see why:

Video #4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBW6znhma8w
Spoiler Match #3
Johnny Gargano (4-2) vs. Jon Davis (0-0)
Gargano is making his case for most improved wrestler of 2011 already. Jon Davis is as big and strong as they come. Gargano wants to be on top of the Leader Board while Davis wants to prove his worth as a singles competitor. This is the sleeper match on this card.
Tag Team Challenge
Jigsaw & Frightmare (2-0) vs. Facade & Jason Gory (0-0)
The tag team scene in EVOLVE will get a breath of fresh air as Jigsaw & Frightmare now represent CHIKARA Sekigun. They'll be faced by the new duo of Facade & Jason Gory, who have made their reputation in the midwest. This one will feature high-flying and cutting-edge tag wrestling. You are sure to witness something you've never seen before in this one.
International Challenge Match
Sami Callihan (2-1) vs. Zack Sabre Jr. (0-0)
Sabre Jr. has received standing ovations in recent weeks at both CZW and CHIKARA events. The European has quickly won over fans for his technical skills and kicking prowess. Callihan is becoming the breakout star of 2011. Both need a win to advance in EVOLVE. This has the makings of a war.
Special Challenge Match #1
AR Fox (0-0) vs. Rich Swann (0-1)
These are two of the most athletic, gifted and incredible high-flyers in the business today. These two are really looking forward to this match as they want to test their skills against each other. They both need the "W" badly. This has show stealer written all over it.
Special Challenge Match #2
Silas Young (1-1) vs. Tony Nese (0-1)
Young is looking to get above the .500 mark while Nese needs to even up his Record. If you are talking about two people that desperately need a win, this is it.
Lot of great matches there, AR Fox vs Rich Swann should be a fun spot-fest and I expect good things from Jacobs vs Shiima Xion & Zack Sabre Jr vs Sami Callihan - Aries vs Moxley & Taylor vs Tozawa look like the real highlights on paper, so hopefully it'll live up to expectations.

Well, I don't think R-Truth will continue to smoke indoors or I should say he does not need to continue smoking in doors to continue his batshit crazy gimmick.
Lol.
Lol.

Nah, Here's what's going to happen. Orton hits punk with something and Punks lying on the ground. Randy drops and starts pounding the mat setting up for the RKO. Neither man is Standing so the ref starts counting. Punk stands up at 9 and a half while Randy is still pounding the mat. Orton stands up and delivers the RKO just after the 10 count. Punk wins.
That would be funny, but I don't see it happening. RKO through the table, Orton wins is the most likely outcome.

Jim Neidhart (Natayla's father) got arrested in Tampa, FL again. He was taken in for driving without a license and operating an unregistered vehicle. He's out on $750 bond.
The case from his arrest in September 2010 is still ongoing. He's facing a ton of charges from that arrest:
-- Burglary of an unoccupied dwelling
-- Third-degree grand theft
-- Two counts of trafficking in illegal drugs
-- Two counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute
