I thought Cole was pretty funny during smackdown. Claiming Cody using his mask was no different than using his knee. Giving Booker a hard time for announcing that Kane/Barrett was a match "between two big guys" ect

No doubt about it, Cole has his moments. I was just saying his constant cutting down of the Divas is really dumb because not only is he not funny, it's also burying an already unpopular part of the show. I've been pretty anti-Cole in his Lawler business, but I will admit that he's pretty good when he isn't just promoting himself.

Recently we started getting TNA in England and I quite enjoy it. Something I am confused about though:

I thought Sting was TNA champ but this week on Xplosion they showed Sting v RVD and RVD was carrying the belt to the ring. Did I miss something here or was this an old fight? It seemed to be recent. Confused

Also, on the topic of wrestling books, can anyone tell me if Eric Bischoff's book is any good? He seems like an interesting guy so I might buy it.

**** chavo & his ****tiness.
That is why I have been hoping for a Bryan heel turn for a while. It is his best chance of really getting over with this crowd

Bischoff's book is alright, but he doesn't name names in a lot of circumstances, making it a little less sensational. Its entertaining enough to see how he thinks and he doesn't believe a lot of WCW's failures were his fault. He gives some good insider knowledge on the corporate structure of Turner which was interesting. But Ric Flair has the best Wrestling book of all time imo.

I kinda liked Bobby Heenan's book. Not pulitzer prize material, but entertaining.

Yeah, i enjoyed him working more of a heel role against Sin Cara on SD. Not sure if he can truly get over with it, but he needs a change, so...

I thought Cole had a very good week on Smackdown. Seeing him getting Kharma'ed at the next PPV would be great too and should be the final blowoff to a terrible feud.

Im not sure if i agree with the stuff about Cole talking down to the divas, i dont think they could bury them much more anyway, and given he is a heel the crowd could back the divas more if it was written well.

Oh and for whoever said it, Cody is indeed amazing now. I really really look forward to his feud with Orton. It also looks like Ted is getting a face turn which is great given how stale he was before. Ted and Cody feuding with Cody getting Ted over before Cody moves up to take on Orton and Ted moves on to feud with Sheamus would be epic.

How bout cheating death stealing life, any good because I just finished reading both of Jericho's book and want to see if Eddie's book is any good.

I've only read brets book, it was a good read, but if he was to re-write it after his comeback (last year-present) I'm pretty sure he would change a bunch of things, was also wondering if there was a ppv tonight?

Man this video is so hilrious and disturbing at the same time. For those that don't know the back story of it, read Undisputed. So other than Bret's book, and eddie's book, is "Heartbreak and Triumph" any good.

I like that the new TNA is focusing on wrestling, but currently they are focusing on the wrestling of Robbie E & Kendrick.

Talking about Wrestling books: Stone Cold's book sucks. No real structure/timeline and most interesting stuff does not get more than a paragraph.

As much as I hate Cole's in-ring segments - his commentating is awesome these days.
