First tragedy, then farce.
Randy Savage title shot in the at the next PPV. No way he gets the strap from Jarret and no way he is gonna put on a good performance. Oh well.

Hogan run-in shoot!

I didn't see the last TNA PPV, but I guess Savage looks really skinny and small now.

thats what Ive heard.. but I dont care. I still remember watching Ricky Steamboat vs. the macho man when it happened... of course the main event was Hogan vs. Andre. :rolleyes

Even if he cant hit the elbow drop from the top rope anymore, he's still a childhood hero.

My friend and I ordered last night's. First off, it was all set up for a Macho Man turn which never happened. That was the first disappointing thing. The second was when Macho actually came down to fight. Now I'm a HUGE Macho Man fan, but he looked like a little old man running around punching people. And that's all he did - punch people. No wait, he put on a terrible looking sleeper hold, too. My friend, who's probably the biggest Macho Man fan on the planet earth, just sat there staring. He was in shock at just how poorly the whole thing went down. Ah well, at least that Cage Match with AMW and XXX was completely insane.

Yeah. Hopefully Elix will get an X-Division title push. Him walking the top of the cage into a hurracanrana was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.

that X title match was absolutely SICK. Its too bad their build ups and 99% of there matches suck. Some of the X division is great.

You might wanna hold off on ordering that ppv...

"In an update to the reports circulating about Randy Savage, TNA management reportedly sent him home after a meeting Tuesday afternoon. Randy Savage requested he win the title at the 1/15 Final Resolution PPV in his planned match with Jeff Jarret, but TNA expressed no interest in such a move. He was then dismissed from the taping.

For the time being, Savage is once again no longer with TNA. It's likely he'll work for TNA again, but as of this writing, he is no longer expected to headline the next PPV.'

yeah, I had heard that.. supposedly he is pissed that he didnt get any sort of pop when he came out for the match... I think he wants them to put him over.. problem is after a 20 year career and being a legend in the buisness, if your not over allready they cant get you over.

Its sorta a shame that some shit spot artist like RVD still gets huge pops while one of the best ever cant get any reaction out of a second rate 2 bit operation where JEFF JARET is the biggest name.

That's just it, though. I think he'd get a good reaction in a WWE ring, but TNA has that kinda close-knit regional thing going... it's like if ECW were still around, they wouldn't cheer Macho Man... they'd make some kind of chant up about Elizabeth and he'd get pissed and leave.

thats TNA's biggest problem is they are stagnant (along with low production values and only a handfull of actual talent being spread far to thinly). They were in Memphis, now Orlando... but they are trying to be a national deal while remaining tied to one region.. you are never going to grow a fanbase when the same people show up every week... you also run the risk of people getting tired of seeing it all the time and empty arena's. Sure, they couldnt fill up a big cities largest arena's, but I know in Austin we have several small venues that seat about 1500 people that they could at least mostly fill for a show.

I guess its money that is being prohibitive. Plus, at least the ECW regulars were entertaining... the TNA fans are like corpses watching a show.. they wont mark out for shit.

And they should give Daniels the HW title. He is a god among men.

But if you are gonna purchase TNA PPV you better hurry cuz they are on the clock......
