Angle was released by the WWE because 1) his neck is toast and 2) he refused to go into rehab for his addiction to painkillers.

I wouldn't say that TNA is better quality than WWE. Both have a weak areas but they have their moments too.

Although it bears no resemblance to the original, ECW is probably my favorite show at the moment because it's primary focus is on the wrestling.

According to a fan who was recently at a Smackdown taping Undertaker knees are pretty much shot. According to the fan 'taker was seen punching feeling into his legs. This is bad. Undertaker will not likely be WWE Champion any time soon because of this injury.

So who is the Primo guy that Carlito tagged with to capture the WWE Tag belts? Another guy from TNA?

So hmm.. is this R-Truth guy supposed to have a lot of talent? Because I'm waiting to see it LOL!!

Primo is Carlito's brother -for real. As for Ron Killings...I don't like this "R-Truth" repackaging.

What I wonder is if Santino the ass-clown will break the Honky Tonk Man's record for holding the intercontinental belt. I don't think there is any love lost between Honky and Vince so...it could happen.

Lance Cade has been released. No surprise really, he couldn't get over no matter what they tried with him.

[CharlieTucker]

What's everyone's opinion of Randy Orton?

[The Village Elder]

Orton...? He's a great heel but I doubt he could ever be over as a babyface. As a wrestler he's nothing special.

[CharlieTucker]

I think RKO is definitely a great heel. Did you see what he did to Vince this past Monday? CRAZY!! Either he'll be fired or he'll lose his Rumble spot.

What's everyone's opinion of Evan Bourne? I think this guy is amazing and definitely has a bright future in the WWE.

[CharlieTucker]

Christian Cage is returning to the WWE! He'll make his return to the WWE at the Royal Rumble helping Edge to win the WWE Championship from current champ Jeff Hardy.

Welcome back Christian!!

[The Village Elder]

No Christian Cage...but R-V-D. Much better even if it was just for the Rumble show.

I think this whole angle with Orton is ridiculous. I'm predicting Orton vs. McMahon at Wrestlemania. The only question is which McMahon.

Evan Bourne hasn't been given a chance to show his promo skills. Even his wrestling has been toned down if you can believe that. We haven't seen the real Evan just yet.

My favorite right now is CM Punk. He always delivers a good match no matter who he's paired with.

[CharlieTucker]

So when will Randy get his world title shot? I think Randy wont settle for fighting a McMahon at WrestleMainia 25

Evan Bourne will be returning by February hopefully, and he says he's coming back in the best shape of his life

I agree with you about the Orton angle with the McMahon's.. totally ridiculous.

Greetings,

While I must say I'm not enjoying the Orton angle right now, I think back and I had the same opinion of the JBL/HBK angle when it first started. Now that they have gone a few weeks with that, I'm beginning to enjoy the "storyline" of it and find myself looking forward to what happens next.

Orton kicking McMahon was priceless and well done...the lawyer and therapist stuff was stupid...and believing that Shane can beat up 3 professional wrestlers was a bit of a stretch. I'm not sure Orton/McMahon (either Vince or Shane) is in the cards, but I can see Orton being yelled at by Stephanie this next week or so, him slapping her down and about to kick her...when HHH comes in to make the save, setting up a HHH/Orton Wrestlemania match. That would be far more entertaining to me (in my mind) than watching a 50 plus year old man in the ring against Orton.

On another board I hang at there is the idea going around that Stephanie and Orton are working together. She wants full control of RAW so she gets Orton to take Vince out of the picture in exchange for...? That's where it falls apart.

Shane was gassed by the time he was up the ramp. And he hits like a little girl. He should have sold those punches a little better.

Matt Korklan a.k.a Evan Bourne is an amazing talent. His work in the indie circuit (as Matt Sydal) is off the chain. There are several tributes to him on youtube that you guys should check out. I'd love to see him in a match with RVD.

Hey people!!

So Christian has returned to WWE on the ECW brand.. what's everyone's opinion about this? I think its very good for ECW to have such a great performer and a really cool persona on that brand.

Tonight on ECW their will be a tri-brand battle royal and the winner will earn the right to be in the money in the bank match at WM25

I agree Elder.. Shane is kind of joke now.

My WWE Draft Predictions

RAW will get:
Christian
Edge
Jeff Hardy
Triple H
Matt Hardy

Smackdown will get:
Chris Jericho (sorry thats all i got)

ECW will get:
Hurricane Helms
R-Truth
The Brian Kendrick

Dont miss the WWE Draft tonight on the USA Network with a special start time 8 PM E/C Time!!

[The Village Elder]

I'd like to see HBK go over to Smackdown. I'm sure Christian will end up somewhere other than ECW. But really what's it matter? I mean HHH is supposed to be a Smackdown star but he's been on RAW for weeks...so...think about it.

[CharlieTucker]

Hey Elder.. Its sad because HBK will be trimming back his in ring time considerably after next years WrestleMainia. He wants to spend more time with his family.. which I can understand because you only have one life and I want say a heartfelt THANK YOU to Mr. WrestleMainia.

[CharlieTucker]

I heard from a friend that former WWE superstar Andrew 'Test' Martin passed away a few months ago. Is there any confirmation regarding this tragedy?

Thanks for responding, Rakulp. I appreciate the info.
I was shocked to hear this originally. I'm saddened that a young guy (33),that entertained millions is dead in his prime.
