yeah its super rare when a face turn has potential to be better than a likeable heel, but he has so much potential. he's been my favorite wrestler for a while now, I really hope it works out.

Mike Adamle debut highlight video

Eh not especially. Since he was under the legal limit I assume not much will come of it. Note they did not mention anything about Ashley at all, even though they showed her at ringside once or twice.

DOH:

WrestleMania 24 drew 1,058,000 buys for $23.8 million, which is less than the 1.2 million buys and $24.6 million the company earned for WrestleMania 23 last year.

McMahon wanted 1.4m buys. Derp.

I was at Raw fun time all around. I managed to be somewhat restrained despite being pretty drunk because there were a bunch of kids around me. Also I was too lazy to make a sign, which was sorta unfortunate.

For those who care they filmed heat before
First match was Kofi Kingston vs. Natural Nick Nemeth


They had a tag team match Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Super Crazy vs. Charlie Haas and Robbie


Snitsky vs. Some random Canadian


Kendrick and London vs. Cade and Murdoch


After the broadcast Jericho came out distracted Orton and HHH pedigreed him. Than Orton had a IC title match vs. Jericho, which Jericho obviously won.

anyone watch Smackdown at all? So much potential after stripping Taker of the title and we still end up with an Edge-Taker match at a PPV.

Yay.

Anybody watching this? What pathetic booking of the Taker/Edge match. I was really enjoying this show too.

was gonna get judgement day just for the jericho/hbk match but couldnt find another match i really wanted to see....

Reading the updates online, seems like i'm not missing much

Show has been OK so far, other than the booking of the World title match I have no issues. They just included a Jeff Hardy/MVP impromptu match too, so that should placate some people who wanted to see them on the card.

that would have probably gotten me to buy the show, as that has potential. Surprised that WWE didn't advertise it before hand, but I guess with no storyline it would have looked out of place.

I have the DVR programmed for all 3 shows. I usually watch most of Raw . Smackdown and ECW have pretty much sucked for as long as I can remember and it only takes me minutes to watch both in FF. I know it wont happen but i really think they should just give up on this whole 3 brand BS and go back to what it used to be or at least have more drafts where numerous guys switch brands more often.

What really bugged me about Judgment Day is the Morrison/Miz vs CM Punk/Kane match

Why do they do crap like that? Just to make sure CM Punk and Kane wind up on the card, I'm sure...But wtf? Everyone with half a brain knows there's basically no chance Punk and Kane win. I really enjoy watching Miz/Morrison, maybe I should just be satisfied they made it onto the card of a second-rate PPV. Overall, I feel like this PPV should have been half-price

I've begun watching ECW and skipping Smackdown every week, and I don't regret it at all. ECW has some really good talent, and only an hour to fit them all in, which means most of the fights wind up being fairly decent. Adamle is amazing as the "idiot" announcer. The segment where he pushed JR out as announcer on Raw for 1 match a few weeks ago was brilliant, and I wish they'd keep up with that.

Smackdown, on the other hand, is boring crap after boring crap it seems. Although Edge and the Undertaker is a great matchup for crowd purposes, it's getting old. Either find a new heel to replace Edge in the main events (Big Show?), or give Edge the belt back and continue to have him retain against an endless stream of faces. Beyond that, I really don't enjoy the tag teams of Smackdown, and I'm having a hard time thinking of any exciting mid-carders on Smackdown. MVP does a pretty good job in the ring, and also is good at getting heat, but the bookers never seem to find anything meaningful for him in the storylines

I watched Judgement day late night and may have nodded off, but WTF, how do you not have a Mr. Kennedy appearance?

Also, the bookers need to do something with MVP...he's right there.

PPV was meh...in ring was ok, but no memorable WTF moments...all the feel good I had from Wrestlemania has now completely vanished.

Hey it's Cousin Sal from the Sports Guy podcasts. Santino rocks.

You can't possibly be serious w/ another Orton Main Event. How many chances does he get?

lol samecardtheyjusthadaments

stop paying for WWE crap. start buying ROH. you will be much more satisfied.

seriously... why still watch that god awful stuff?

LOL

William Regal suspended 60 days for violating the substance abuse policy. Dumbass, didn't he just see what happened to Jeff Hardy?

god regal what an idiot. was getting so over and had a great role. was hoping the angle last night was to further a storyline, but no, just to get him off TV. not quite the ****up that jeff hardy's was, but still.

wtf, they should have put that Kennedy-Regal match at Judgment Day. I would have spent 40 bucks for that fight alone. I guess maybe this suspension came down too recently for them to hype up the match for the PPV. Too bad, because there was way more suspense last night than Sunday

WWE will definitely be getting another 40 bucks from me for One Night Stand, just for the novelty factor of some of the extreme rules matches. Smart move by WWE having this extreme PPV just 2 weeks after a crap PPV. If I had known One Night Stand was extreme-rules matches and just 2 weeks after Judgment Day, I never would have purchased JD on Sunday

wwe.com is advertising Cena-Hardy vs JBL-Umaga for tonights show. Should also find out who the new GM is. Should be a good show since they had to pack 4 weeks of hype into 2 weeks for One Night Stand. Also hoping for more Mickie James... she was looking HOT last week.

so its gotten so bad, vince is trying to bribe us?

obviously

I expect a ratings increase. Can't wait for the bogus draft too. "OMG MICHELLE MCCOOL DRAFTED TO RAW!!!!!!"

Yeah, what in **** was that? I guess the average WWE mark is more excited about a lottery than me?

I must admit the big show raw commercial was pretty funny.

eh, the draft is useful to shake up stale feuds, and just about everything in WWE is a stale feud by now

The Jericho-Michaels match was decent with an intriguing almost heel-turn by Y2J.

I also liked the introduction of Dibiase Jr, he got good heat for a debut.

Sucks for Kennedy that his major push is now a feud with Burchill because of Regal.

My wife decided we are ordering One Night Stand, so I hope that some of these matches are actually good....
