Are you saying it is a fake CrankyVince?
A former WWE writer on my twitter feed RT'd it so I'd assume it is legit.

Is Santino still US champ? he should put the belt on the line against Ricardo to increase the prestige of the landmark Tuxedo match

Yes, it's a fake.
Yes.

I'm all for Ricardo winning the US Title. Especially while Del Rio is on the shelf.
But it shouldn't happen on a mid-tier PPV nobody's going to buy.
Needs to happen on RAW in front of millions of fans. Preferably the 1000th episode show.
:lol
With that reasoning there shouldn't be PPV title matches at all, since more people will watch them on Raw. That's the TNA model right there, building up Impact on their PPVs.

There's also precedent there. 9 of the past 13 US Title changes took place on television and not pay-per-view... often with minimal build. You're talking about a title where its last memorable competitive feud was Matt Hardy vs. MVP roughly 5 years ago.

Just watching the best of King of The Ring WWE special they give to Sky viewers as a freebie so they can try to sell us No Way Out. Scott Stanford introduced a 1999 King of The Ring match, but it's actually from 2000 and the on screen date is wrong too. The match they are showing is Undertaker/Rock/Kane vs Shane/Vince/HHH from KotR 2000.
It's not important, but people have to know that a minor error was broadcast on a WWE product made for a specific market.

I expected Steen to win at DTABM, but I really didn't need to know the results of the tag match. /shrug
(Both are still gonna be totally awesome)
You know, I'm sure more would be excited at the return of Kharma, but they've screwed up Beth so much in terms of power and ability, I don't care at all. Sure those two could have a decent match, but they've had Beth put over Bellas, Kelly, and Layla, it makes you ask: if she can't beat those women, what makes anybody believe she can take down Kharma?
Did this get posted at all?
She's looking a lot better now. Hopefully they actually give her matches versus Beth. And we don't end up with stupid shit like Gail Kim and Beth wrestling each other once.. on Superstars.
You got a point, but that's due to the title mismanagement than trying to get it the most exposure possible.
Kharma, Beth, Natalya, Tamina and Kaitlyn would all make great contenders to the Divas Champion, AJ.

I remember the made up commentary for made up matches that appeared in WOW magazine.
One of them actually happened(Hogan Vs The Rock).

Seriously, Sami vs Elgin. Fuck, that's going to be epic, and a perfect illustration of why PWG rules with matches that you just won't see anywhere else. Steen vs Willie should be amazing, although I'm not sure if I want them to pull the trigger on Mack just yet. And holy shit, I just noticed the main event is a ladder match! Awesome.

I somehow found myself in that one part of wwe.com filled with various signs, this one made me chuckle
CM Punk looks shocked that he cannot successfully boot the mighty vegan enhanced posterior of D Bryne

Impact tonight looks like a great show.
*TNA champion Bobby Roode vs. Mr. Anderson.
*The fallout from Slammiversary.
*TNA X-Division champion Austin Aries will defend in an Ultimate X match vs. Zema Ion and Chris Sabin.
*12 Man Gauntlet to kick off the Bound for Glory series.
Can't wait.

I don't know what's worst of all things in that sign, if Bryan's boobs, or Punk's abs.

Bobby Roode must be like the only guy TNA have ever actually made into a 'Star'. AJ Styles never really got the chance, Samoa Joe likewise.

Definitely the Bryan Boobs, those crazy vegan side effects.
AJ's troubles with her Phoenix figure is an omen that the time is nearing where she becomes Dark AJ at No Way Out and will have a fire based duel with Kane.

We have more people watching Impact live now, so that is something.
They were using her really well last time, crushing all the divas with the intention of leading to a big Kharma/Beth showdown. Her pregnancy brought it to a halt

Karma should be a female Ryback.

TERMINATE HER!

Samoa Joe 2005 to 2008 (in TNA) was given every opportunity and seized every opportunity to be a star. I'd still say he was THE most exciting thing about wrestling in this time.
The shame was, only like a year into that run, he fucked his knee and got really fat and slow. Since then, he's been on the decline.
Joe could've been amazing. As it stands, he's just some fat guy who works a Japanese esque style. I am a huge Joe mark and his match with Aries was an example of how good he is, but not how good he can be. Watch Unbreakable 2005 for that.

I think the look of Alexander the Grater from Saturday Night Slam Masters was based on Vader too. Here's a small pic of him:
And take a look at the gear he's wearing over his head during his entrance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TFxvk2pHng&feature=fvwrel#t=00m20s
Maybe it's a bit of a reach, but I can see it.
It is. The helmet is based on the one he wore in Japan. It shot out a lot of steam too.
If you haven't seen it, see it.

Joe had an awesome three year run as a top star. More than most can say. After that injury, they really pushed him to the point where he didn't care anymore sometime around Bound For Glory 2010....maybe before then. That's when I really noticed that he wasn't into it. The Aries vs Joe match is the first time since then I have seen the old Joe in action.
