My Thoughts on TNA for Oct 29th 2009
Originally posted on Andrew and the Aluminumsidings on Oct 30th 2009
Had to hunt it down on youtube. So it's hours late.
Okay, right off, if you read my rant few days ago you know how I feel about Hogan. Let me show you my letter here. There now that issue is out of the way on to the show...
We open with Wolfe who called out Kurt Angle, and I have to say I like this story plot. This is going to turn into a wicked feud.
We cut to AJ Styles doing a promo only whoever uploaded it to youtube pulled a prank or something cause the sound makes everyone sound like monsters or so crap....
Okay, we pick up with Team 3D in the locker room for their promo....
Eric Young had a Legends Title match vs Lashley. Young got tossed about 7 feet straight up in the air to land hard on his back. Steiner interfered in the match causing a DQ.
The rest of World Elite then came out to the ring in white jump suites looking like Elvis impersonators. Why? Oh but wait the rumours are true... no not that the big ugly useless one is a flaming hoop or who knows maybe ..... that the British Invasion is not allowed to work for a few weeks. Um that's just stupid. Eric Young changing the title of the belt to Global Championship, I 'm digging on that. As a Canadian, I just wish Mr. Young would start wearing the Canadian colours again.
I can't believe I am about to address this but....Mike Tennay your comment during ODB's match was so not needed.
Dr. Stevie vs Abyss. This was a hardcore match. At one point Abyss slammed Dr. Stevie's jaw into the steel steps. this was all Abyss, and he got the win with the shock treatment.
Mick Foley came down to the ring after the match ended and hit Dr. Stevie... okay
Rhino vs the evil druid Matt Morgan. I got distracted during this match. But the evil druid Matt Morgan won. Hernandez ran down after the match was over and scared off Rhino.
Whomever uploaded it to youtube had glitches and sound issues on Samoa Joe's promo
Homicide's promo was different. Going after Don West was a brilliant move. Nice to see a new element.
Kurt Angle vs Wolfe. Hmm, bald and British yummy. Angle came across strong for the first few minutes with kicks. Wolfe took control with a series of elbows to the face before Angle tossed Wolfe out of the ring. Wolfe got back on top with another series of short close lines and forearms to Angle's throat. It looked like Wolfe injured Angle with one of his closelines.
And the MotorCityMachine Guns! in the bad kiss concert pants. Serious boys you're doing now just because you know I don't like those pants. They went against Team 3D to a full on chant of MotorCity. Always nice to hear. Alex Shelley started off against Devon, with Devon getting a nice arm bar on Shelley. Shelley managed to get the better of Devon by simply tripping him. Shelley had a quick cover but Devon kicked out. Both Brother Ray and Chris Sabin tagged in. Brother Ray had Sabin in what looked like a very painful shoulder lock, before Sabin used his quickness to get out of it. Sabin who we all know is part monkey, got a spring board splash on Brother Ray for a near fall. Sabin was then dropped on his neck. Shelley ran into the ring and slammed Devon in the knee right after Devon had tagged in. Shelley got the tag and started to work on Devon's knee in the middle of the ring. Brother Ray tagged in and got another near fall on Shelley. Devon tagged back in and Shelley got a single leg crab on him causing Devon to tap out.
*Note* This is the match Chris Sabin suffered an injury taping last week. I am not sure how I feel about the fact Alex Shelley kept going on this match. I have mixed emotions on the fact that he continued without even stopping to check on Sabin till after the match was over.

ECW October 27,2009
ECW October 27, 2009-- The show began with the Abraham Washington show. His special guest was non other than Tiffany the shows gm. who went on to say that the show has hosted great stars like Kofi Kingston and John Morrison. She was quickly shut off by William Regal and his goons Regal demanded a title shot. To which Tiffany said no he'd probably never get a title shot again. Then she left the show. William Regal then proceeded to rip apart the Abraham show.
The first match was Shamus battling Shelton Benjamin one last time before leaving ECW for RAW. There was a lot of tough action in this match ultimately ending with Shamus defeating Shelton. Shamus seems to be a very angry Irish Warrior. Wonder what he will bring to RAW.
Next was a confrontation between Burchill and Hurricane. Burchill challenged Hurricane to meet in the ring, for the next episode of ECW. The next match was Captain Charisma Christian versus Yoski Tatsu for the ECW title. It was a good match with lots of action and the winner was Captain Charisma. William Regal delivered a powerful message to both Christian and Tiffany. Find out next week what she has to say to him.

Dear Dixie Carter -An Open Letter to TNA
Normally I leave things like this for my main blog, but I feel so strongly about it that I have to post on Blind Tag.
Dear Dixie Carter:
I feel you are making a massive mistake by bringing in Hulk Hogan to TNA.
When I saw the video package this morning on TNA's official youtube, I felt my heart sink and my blood boil.
You have just ruined TNA.
Fans have stood by TNA for the last few years because we adore the new ideas like the Ultimate X and the X-Division. We have been thankful of the proper attention and support to the Tag Teams that you have given.
The past year's gimmick with the Main Event Mafia was harsh enough to sit through, I just don't understand why you would want to take that one step further.
As a fan of TNA, of the X-Division and Tag Teams, I can only say your time and money would have been better suited towards finding more young talent for those two divisions.
Signed Ardeth Blood
I feel cheated.
I got into TNA because it was an alternative to the other company. It was fresh and wasn't using alot of gimmicks at the time.
The past year it's fallen into the same old patterns that the other companies had used a few decades ago and the product started to suffer.
I tune in every week, and I have never missed an episode of Impact since it first aired in 2005, to see guys like Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, A.J. Styles, Eric Young, Amazing Red, Jay Lethal, and Samoa Joe. I even love watching the promos J.B. does. He adds a bit of fan-flavour to the episodes. I have been a fan of tag teams my whole life, and seeing teams like Beer Money Inc, British Invasion, Lethal/Creed, MotorCityMachine Guns! and World Elite are the a major part of why I love TNA.
So for me hearing that they just signed Hogan is a devastating blow. I see nothing good coming of this.

Monday Night Raw October 26, 2009
Monday October 26, 2009--Monday Night Raw was incredible. It started out with Chris Jericho basking in his glory over the victory at Bragging Rights, then Big Show tried many times to interrupt explaining his decision for the previous night. To which Jericho wanted to thank him for sticking up and knowing the Smackdown is the better show. Finally Show was able to say he did for a title shot against the Undertaker and that he's returning to Smackdown. To which Chris Jericho was less then thrilled and wanted to know why he wasn't consulted first. Then it broke away to the Nascar boys Kyle Busch and Joey Logano showing up Kyle stated he understood where Show was coming from to which Joey said he didn't. The first show was announced that Big Show would battle the man he knocked out last night Triple H. And Kyle announced that Jericho had a match with Kofi Kingston the man he pinned.
The match began right away. Lots of action between the two wrestlers and when Jericho thought he had a three count the ref told him otherwise. Kofi Kingston kicked Jericho in the head and got the pin. As he was leaving the match while he was faced the audience he got attacked by a disgruntal Randy Orton. Who blamed the loss of the match on Kofi Kingston.
Next we see Randy walking around outback where he bumps into his legacy crew who have a present for him. A Randy Orton race car. Randy gets lost staring at the car. And Rhodes and DiBiase tell him they will get the title back to Legacy.
Next was a match with Gillian Hall, and Chavo versus Melina and Santino. Melina took out a lot of her anger out on Gillian Hall. With a little help from Hornswaggle Melina and Santino were able to win the match.
Next you see Hornswaggle get served by a lawyer with "Cease and Desist" order in order to force Hornswaggle to stop imitating them.
And of course Legacy went into the ring to call out Cena for either a one on one with either men or a handicap match. Cena came out and told them no, he realized that Orton couldn't fight him. But they are not the man Orton is. They haven't earned their shot yet but they will get a chance taking on the tag opponenets of MVP and Mark Henry. Who they tried to beat down but Mark Henry proved to be too much for them and they lost the match.
Then Orton came out demanding his rematch to which a monitor turned on and you heard No, there won't be a rematch. It was the man Randy Orton had just knocked out not too long ago. Randy dared him to look him in the face and say that and Kofi said I am. As he stood on top of Randy's car. He proceeded to cause lots of damage to it and ended by pouring paint on the car.
Next was a match between Evan Bourne and The Miz, The Miz is looking for a title shot but his plan was short lived when he got distracted by Jack Swagger who was flirting with Eve. Jack Swagger at one point took the microphone and informed the Miz no one was watching him fight as they were watching Eve who was watching The All American American to which the Miz started attacking Jack Swagger who were now face to face outside the ring. To which Even Bourne flew out the of the ring and hit both Swagger and The Miz and while they were out the ring the count out began Evan returned to the ring on the count of 8 and Miz got counted out as he entered the ring. A big win for Evan Bourne.
Shamus fought Jamie Noble and abused Noble to the point Noble was out cold. Shamus was a fighter who was recently acquired from ECW. He's a tough Irish fighter, who seems to enjoy mocking his opponent when he's pinning them. He gets them to a 2 count before lifting them to end the count out.
It was announced that next weeks RAW will be guest hosted by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. Wonder what they will bring to RAW.
The last match of the night was Triple H versus the Big Show. Triple H grabbed a mic and informed the Big Show that there were some changes to the match. It was turned into a lumberjack match with all the players from the night before out for blood. And to add to it he informed the ref they had a guest referee, which was none other than the WWE champion John Cena.
As the fight progressed Big Show was sent out of the ring where everyone attacked him, and he sent bodies flying. When he went back into the ring, Triple H tried a few times to lift the Big Show, but that wasn't happening very well. Masters jumped the rope and took a shot at the Big Show which proved useless as Big Show knocked out Masters. The Big Show pinned Triple H and Cena began counting but decided to stop after two with a hand wound. Which resulted in Cena and Show arguing to which Cena lifted up the big show for an attitude adjustment. And Triple H delivered a pedigree. Then he pinned him and Cena counted him out faster than Nascar races cars. Triple H got off him grabbed a Smackdown shirt and threw it on the Big Show.
Then the Nascar boys came out to announce the number 1 contender for Survivior Series. They couldn't come up with one so they relied on Hornswaggle. He created the match of Triple H, versus John Cena versus Shawn Michaels. To which the three men just stared at each other and John Cena backed away from the two.
The match began right away. Lots of action between the two wrestlers and when Jericho thought he had a three count the ref told him otherwise. Kofi Kingston kicked Jericho in the head and got the pin. As he was leaving the match while he was faced the audience he got attacked by a disgruntal Randy Orton.

And performs the you can't see me followed with a 5 knuckle shuffle and performs an attitude adjustment and an RKO simutaneously. Cena is still fighting medical attention. Randy Orton is not doing well either as he tries to recover himself. It is thought that the medical team might of super glued Cena's head shut as his head is not bleedying as much. Cena gives an attitude adjustment off the top rope. Cena has a cover. 3-2. This match is definitly proving that no matter how much you hate the two boys they are digging deep for this match.

Now John Cena is being thrown into lighting grids. And getting a pin fall. Orton 4- Cena 3. Orton is looking at the pyro stuff, hitting various buttons to see what happens. Almost like he wants to send John Cena to the area where the pyro technics would injure him. Randy Orton has completely lost his brains or screws. Orton checked Cena for burns and Cena has none Orton is going nuts. Orton is just destroying Cena who manages to tap out. Everytime Cena taps out Orton gets more angry and looks for something more severe to do. Orton is having a temper tantrum after Cena got a roll move on Orton making the score tied again. Orton is livid. Orton manages to get a pinfall on Cena setting the score to 5-4. Cena is stumbling around and Cena's head is bleeding again. Orton is running away. Orton stared at the score board and has taken to beating up Cena again. Cena is out to destroy Orton now. Cena is mad now Orton just keeps him walking from one end of the arena to the other end. And now Orton is beating on Cena again. Randy Orton is taking a walk through the crowds. Cena is hot on his trail and so is the referee. Falls count anywhere. They are in the crowds fighting with 16 mins left. Orton is being destroyed by Cena. Orton is falling down the steps. Getting very hard for Orton to play defense with Cena hot on your tail. Cena threw orton of the audience barrier. Went for a pin and Orton pulled out. Orton got shoved into the steel steps. Cena is digging down deep. Cena is dishing out a lot of pain on Orton. Orton is showing that he may not be as tough as he thinks he is. He threw Orton right through a baracade. Cena is looking for the steel steps. John Cena has angers in his eyes. John Cena hit Orton with the steel steps. The mementum has definitly shifted in this match. This has definitly been a great match to watch. John Cena is about to go for an attitude adjustment on the anouncer tables. And he was successful. The match is tied. 5-5. Cena has to dig down deep for a last pinfall. Cena is bringing out the tables. As anything is legal right now. Orton is barely moving. He put Orton on the table and is climbing the rope to get to Orton but Orton got away. The score is tied still with 5 minds left in the match. Both men are stirring. Punch for Punch these man are giving it there all. Using everything they have in their body. Lots of body shots being used on each other. Cena is kicking Orton all over the place. The ref got wiped out. Another ref has appeared and Orton still can't capitalize on a RKO. Randy went over the ref. Orton is loosing it in the ring. Orton is really showing signs of cracking. And is attempting a bunt in the head. Will he tap out to a stf. Will Orton tap or will it go to overtime. CENA WON!!!!!! 6-5
As you can tell I got very excited. Stay tuned tomorrow for Nascar drivers in the driver seet of WWE Raw.

Smackdown 10/23/2009
Smackdown 10/23/2009: Announcing the Smackdown night was Jerry "The King" Lawler and Michael Cole due to Jim Ross's recent illness. The show began with Chris Jericho coming out the ring. Who was dressed in his wrestling gear. Where they recap what happened on Team Raw on Monday night. Which result in chaos on Monday night. And then of course Jericho begins his brag fest about how he's great and he'll over come the Raw Team. And how his team has to now prove it's worth to be able to stand in the same ring as the almighty Chris Jericho. And in comes Cryme Tyme to find out what part of handling will occur.
Now Chris is spending his time insulting Cryme Tyme. And that they should feel honored to be in the same ring as Chris Jericho. Naturally out walks Vicki. She is the official consultant. Who announces Eric Escobar. Eric Escobar is confident that no one will forget his name after Sunday when he takes his team to victory. Then out comes Dolp Ziggler who claims he can take them to victory. Where Chryme Tyme teases him for not being able to win the intercontental championship. Out comes MacIntyre (if you can keep up with this you've got skills) Drew is confident he will win cause Vincent picked him himself. And out comes Captain Kane who claims none of them are in the same category as him. And since he'll be busy tonight with Chris Jericho fighting Rey Mysterio and Batista. The men are in a tag team match up to see if they have what it takes to fight on Sunday.
There match begins next. Out comes R-Truth, Matt Hardy, Finlay and the Hart Dynasty. Team Smackdown is not fairing well in this match. Bodies are being thrown out of the ring. And Matt Hardy gets the pinfall with a twist of fate. Which has now created a major upset to Team Smackdown. The five are headed towards victory road or will it be? Have to tune into blind tag blog to find out on Sunday.
Next it cuts to CM Punk who's telling the ref from the match that he has no clue what he's getting into. CM Punk is spouting out his confidence which Teddy Long and the Ref. are not as confident. Vince McMahon wants to speak with the referee and Teddy Long about the match coming up with Undertaker.
Next it cuts out to John Morrison walking down the hallway. John Morrison is in a match against Mike Knox. John Morrison has to dig down deep to fight Mike Knox. John Morrison sent John Morrison into the post and performed the starship pain on him for the pinfall.
The new team that won against Team Smackdown they are being told by Chris to follow their lead. They stop him and tell him that he can save the speech cause they believe in him. Kane has a look like he doesn't believe it totally.
Next they show Mickie James and Mae and Michelle McCool and Mickie and Michelle spitting words at each other. Then the camera pans and Beth Pheonix tells her not to get to comfortable with the title. Mae says she told you and Michelle tells Mae to shut up to which Mae Young slaps the heck out of Michelle McCool. That should teach Michelle to tell an elder person to shut up.
Next it pans to Batista and Rey Mysterio discussing their match from the last week. And Rey talks about Batista's video which is available in the wwe shop store. And they are both confident they will each win bragging rights. Next match is Rey Mysterio and Batista versus Chris Jericho and Kane. Batista won the match with a pinfall on Kane.
As the camera comes back it's CM Punk, Teddy Long, Vince McMahon and the referee Scott talking about the straight edge. The referee and Teddy Long look less than excited about this match coming up.
Mickie James versus Layla. Mickie James is quick to dominate the match, not that Layla should be discounted as she gets some good shots in as well. Michelle McCool watches from inside the locker room. Mickie James wins via pinfall.
Next they gave us a tribute to Lou Albano who has recently died and we pass on our deepest sympathy during this time.
CM Punk is coming out with the referee and Teddy Long. Looks like the long walk to death. He's to confident going up against the Undertaker.
Undertaker versus CM Punk for a submission match. The look on both Teddy Long and the referee's face is pure terror. Scott Armstrong looks scared half to death over this match. Teddy Long looks like a little kid who is in deep trouble with this match.
C.M Punk gets knocked down by the Undertaker who really wants to destory him. (oh and to set the record straight Undertaker never officially tapped out on the Breaking Point Pay Per View)
The Undertaker is dominating C.M. Punk and beating him down. CM Punk is slowly fighting his way back. CM Punk is laughing which makes little sense unless he's lost it completely. Undertaker continues to destroy Punk. After the Scott the ref was knocked out the Undertaker mde the kill noise at Teddy Long. And gets the submission on CM Punk with hell's gate. CM Punks planed completely backfired.
Make sure to tune in on Sunday for Bragging Rights to see who will have Bragging Rights.
My Thoughts on TNA Impact for Oct 22 2009 (Ultimate X version)
Originally posted on Andrew and the Aluminumsidings on Oct 23 2009
I used screen captures again for this post
We open with another new set of opening credits, and yes I like this one.
I know I said months ago I would not talk about the MainEventMafia anymore, but I have to point out that when Kurt Angle came to the ring alone, I did a little dance of joy. Oh and sidenote, I love the idea of printing the wrestler's height and weight under his name. (right) Rhino running out to give the official word that Booker T has left the company (another happy dance)
A.J. Styles and Daniels promo was... and I have said it before but it seems to need repeating, guys who do goth over the age of 18, never a good thing ever. (unless Daniels is going for a drag queen thing?)
Homicide getting a head start on his match with Amazing Red as he gave him a five minute beat down in the tunnels. Seen that before, give me something fresh. The match finally started with Don West at ringside. Homicide got the win
Steiner vs the evil druid Matt Morgan. I will stop calling him the evil druid when he gets rid of that bad horror movie robe. Interesting way to set up the story with Lashley and Steiner for upcoming shows, though a little over the top for my taste almost comical. In case you didn't pick up on my tone, Lashley interfered. But because of a blind ref, the evil druid matt morgan got the win.
Nash/Samoa Joe vs Styles/Daniels. Styles and Joe started the match with a flash of quick moves that left me spellbound. Daniels tagged in, getting two near falls on Joe before tagging Styles back in. Joe managed to ground Styles with a kick and a centon before tagging in Nash. Taz announced that Kevin Nash has been wrestling with a broken hand for the last while. Daniels tagged back in and managed to get a near fall on Nash by double teaming Nash and Joe. Nash got the win with a choke slam.
Eric Young's promo was well done. It's nice to see him with a belt. I have been saying this for awhile, I love him as a Heel.
Rhino vs Hernandez. This looked to be all Hernandez until Rhino caught him on the ropes. Team 3D were on the mic for this match, and I have to say, even I am finding it difficult to tell if Brother Ray's commentary was scripted or not. But Hernandez managed to turn it back in his favour with a top rope splash for the win.
Desmond Wolf (ROH 's Nigel McGuinness) introduction was slick. Love it! Angle went to the ring shortly after and called him out.
Beer Money Inc vs British Invasion in a six sides of steel match. Nice. Roode came to the ring holding his side and when he removed his ring shirt you could see his injured ribs. Doug Williams got a lovely suplex on Roode. (I've had broken ribs not fun) Either it was a real injury or Roode's acting has improved. Brutus Magnus tagged in and slapped a camel clutch on Roode. Storm finally tagged in, with large fore arms for both British Invasion members. He then got a backbreaker on Brutus. Beer Money managed to get a tower happening from the top of the steel cage, slamming both BI members to the mat. This gave Storm a near fall before Brutus slapped the ref. Smart move by the British Invasion as it caused a DQ, they loose but keep their belts.
And the MotorCityMachine Guns! Their promo was very ....sad actually. I was sitting here thinking that Alex Shelley was looking sick then I heard him try to talk with his bad throat and understood why. Hope he recovers smoothly. And with the camera angle I couldn't take my eyes off Chris Sabin's hair. Sorry, I know I promised but you know whats coming...the hair rant. It looks like our hair gel king is trying to cover up a small....they went up against Lethal and Creed in an Ultimate X match. Shelley, Sabin, we have talked about the bad kiss concert pants but you still refuse to listen to me...all four men took a corner and tried to start the match by finishing it, but Sabin grabbed Creed pulling him down just as Lethal ran down to grab Shelley. They used a beautiful double team kick on Lethal knocking him out of the ring. Oh lovely, they baited Creed and Lethal with what looked at first to be a double suicide dive only to have Sabin distract while Shelley ran for the X. Creed then got half way to the X before the Guns! each grabbed a leg and pulled him back down to the mat. Lethal was making his way to the cables, and Sabin with a hand from Shelley catwalked the top rope to grab Lethal and hang him upside down from the cable (Lethal was upsidedown) Somehow Lethal made it almost to the X and Sabin being the monkey he is leaped almost the whole cable to land right beside him. Sabin shot off a few rapid kicks to Lethal's ribs knocking both of them down to the mat. Lethal grabbed Shelley and tossed him overhead landing Shelley on his nose (that boy breaks his nose so often) Creed then got a nasty looking closeline on Sabin. Lethal slapped a Boston Crab on Sabin in the middle of the ring, giving Creed a chance to climb the cables. Shelley got the sliced bread off the cables on Lethal and injured his knee (Shelley's knee) Sabin got the X for the win.

Jim Ross
On his way to taping Smackdown Jim Ross fell ill. He has been suffering from Bell's Palsy and taking medication to slow the process of the illness down. He will not be heard from on Smackdown this week due to going home to Oklahoma to seek the medical treatment from a neurologist who has since diagnosed Jim Ross with full blown Bell's Palsy. It is causing him trouble on his right side including his eye sight. WWE has been good with giving him time to deal with his illness before deciding what is the next step from him. Jim Ross has been with WWE for a long time. He is hopeful that his recovery will not take too long. He will be watching Bragging Rights from his home. We hope he has a speedy recovery.
From Ring Side: Oct 23rd 2009
It's been reported on a few fan sites that this week's taping of TNA Impact had more then it's share of bad news.
Chris Sabin was injured after a bad landing and suffered a concussion.
This on the heels of Daffney having broken her arm at this week's pay per view.
The fan threads I surf around have got to wonder how this will affect some of the talents decisions to do risker matches.
They are also buzzing with the fact Kevin Nash made a public remark about this very topic. After the bad press Nash has gotten in the past, his show of respect makes you wonder who the bad guys really are.
That's the view from the front row till next time.
Resistance is futile.

ECW October 20th, 2009
ECW October 20, 2009 ECW began with Abraham Washington, ECW has joined in with different hosts. Chris Jericho interrupts Abraham Washington to ask where the general managers office. Chris gets invited to the Abraham Washington show. Chris states "I'm sure you would"
Yoshi Tatsu fights Zack Ryder for a number 1 contender spot for the title. Yoshi is quick to dominate the match. Yoshi gets tied up in the ropes and Zack Ryder kicks him out of the ring. Ryder pins but doesn't succeed. Both men are showing how important the title shot is. The two end up on the top ring post just to fall off it and land outside ring. Yoshi dominates the match, pinning Ryder who continues to bounce back. Yoshi won the match with a springboard pin. Yoshi Tatsu is the number 1 contender for the ECW championship.
Tiffany is seen talking to Rosa about how Rosa is so happy to be on ECW, and breaks off to Chris interrupting. He's coming looking for new talent for Team Smackdown. Tiffany tells him no, he's not stealing ECW members for Team Smackdown. He can watch the show or go home.
Next we see Regal talking with his team mates about the number 1 contender match. And in walks Jericho complaining about Tiffany. To which Tiffany catches him, and tells him he is no longer welcome on ECW. And informs Chris Jericho that he will be competing against Christian.
Sheamus versus J.T. Quinn. Sheamus is quick to dominate in this match. He has had 2 chances to end the match and decides to punish Quinn more. In comes Shelton Benjamin to teach Sheamus a harsh lesson. The winner of the match was Quinn by disqualification.
Paul Burchill comes out to talk about Gregory Helmes. He picks on people for following The Hurricane. And wants Gregory Helmes to come out without his mask on. Hurricane is coming out masked. Hurricane has his head held down. He hands over the mask but it's not Gregory Helmes. Hurricane's music plays again. Hurricane attacks Burchill from the back with the Hurricane's cane.

RAW October 19, 2009
October 19, 2009--Guest Host tonight was none other than Snoop Dogg raper, producer, and actor. The show began as Snoop Dogg was introduced on the show. He drove in his pink cadalliac. And was escorted into the ring with the Bella Twins and Eve. Snoop Dogg announced that RAW will back the hell outta smackdown. Randy Orton will fight Ted Diabese later. Chris Jericho will be fighting Shawn Michaels later. And Snoopy Dogg announced Degeneration X.
Degeneration X came out to talk about Bragging Rights, and the team they have created to take on Team Smackdown. They picked on team Smackdown, discussing how it's gonna be easy to beat them. Team Raw consists of: Triple H, Shawn Michales, Big Show, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Cody Rhodes, and Jack Swagger. Cody Rhodes insults all the member of Team Raw saying he may not tag anyone on Team Raw this Sunday. Too much ego in the ring at once in my opinion.
Next they showed Josh having an interview with Ted DiBiase saying that what he did last week is nothing Randy wouldn't have done himself to succeed. Randy tells Ted that he won't fight him. Or else he will throw him out of Legacy. And that if he takes advantage again he will live to regret for the rest of his life.
Randy Orton fought Ted DiBiase. While the DiBiase initially seemed unwilling to surrender in the ring, in the end, DiBiase did just that, allowing Orton to RKO him for the victory.
Next they showed a little biography/tribute to Lou Albano as his death happened recently. A legend died, and thoughts are with his family during this time.
Next you get to see Hornswaggle interrupt Snoop Dogg's party in the office. Where Chavo comes in and begs to be part of Team Raw. Where Gillian Hall comes in attempting to sing Snoop Doggs songs. Then Santino showed up dressed as Charlie Brown trying to hang with Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg kicked them all out.
John Cena having his final fight on RAW faced Triple H. As per stipulation to his fight on Sunday if he looses his career on RAW is over. He will most likely go back to Smackdown. This could very well be Cena's toughest match besides Bragging Rights.
John Cena tries to dominate the match. I'm sure that the thought that he might be leaving RAW on Sunday is running through both wrestler's minds. Triple H is regaining control temporarily. Cena quickly regains control. Cena throws Triple H out of the ring after hitting the ringpost. Cena throws Triple H into a stf. To which Tiple H climbs out of. And Triple H pedigree's John Cena. When he pins him John Cena manages to get his foot on the rope. Very classic match. The match just keeps going and going. Everytime you think it's a pinfall someone lifts their elbow. Finally Triple H after 3 pedigrees later is able to pin John Cena. A match that lasted over 20 minutes with Triple H shaking his hand. He got an exit fitting of a warrior. With his name being chanted. You could feel the respect and honor flowing through the arena right then.
The Miz versus Marty Jannetty. After the Miz had slammed him on John Morrison's show on Smackdown Jannetty decided to pay The Miz a visit to knock some sense into him. The Miz is as always getting a tad desctructive with his opponent. The Miz pinned Marty Jannetty.
Next up was Melina verses Gillian Hall and with some sneaky moves by Chauvo. Melina was still able to pin Gillian Hall for the women's title. Hornswaggle also joined in going after Chauvo which caused Snoop Dogg to come out knock Chauvo around and deliver what looked like a painful Spear to Chauvo, before being joined by all the Diva's for some fun dancing.
Shawn Michaels verses Chris Jericho Now Jericho instead of fighting grabs a mic (in my opinion be quiet and fight Chris.) Now Chris is calling out his Team Smackdown. Chris calls out Cryme Tyme, and Kane, Dolph Ziggler, Eric Escobar, McIntyre. And out comes the calvary of Team Raw. Talk about looking insane. And incomes Vicki Guerrero oh boy telling Raw that Team Smackdown is leaving. Team Smackdown is getting the beatdown from Team Raw as Team Raw isn't owned by Vicki Guerrero.
So don't forget to read all about Bragging Rights. Until next time have a great night.

Cody Rhodes insults all the member of Team Raw saying he may not tag anyone on Team Raw this Sunday. Too much ego in the ring at once in my opinion.
To test Team Raw there will be a 5 on 5 match tonight. And if they loose whoever wins the match will replace them on Team Raw. Begining well typical RAW now. Out come their opponents: MVP, Evan Bourne, Chavo Guerrorro, Primo, Chris Masters. Cody Rhodes being thrown around the ring by MVP. Jack Swagger took the pin from Cody Rhodes. Team Raw is falling apart with bodies flying everywhere. Shawn Michaels and Triple H have a big problem for Sunday at this rate.
Next they showed Josh having an interview with Ted DiBiase saying that what he did last week is nothing Randy wouldn't have done himself to succeed. Randy tells Ted that he won't fight him. Or else he will throw him out of Legacy. And that if he takes advantage again he will live to regret for the rest of his life.

Smackdown October 16, 2009
Smackdown October 16, 2009
The show began with Teddy Long coming out to announce the 7 on 7 for Bragging Rights. Announcing that Chris Jericho would lead team Smackdown. To which Chris went to the ring and did alot of talking about the 7 on 7. Then Kane came out to inform Chris that he was named the other Captain of the 7 on 7.
The 1st match of the night was between Finlay and Mike Knox and Dolph Ziggler. Then typical with a three way lots of dancing around the ring. The bodies started jumping around the ring. With Finlay dominate for a bit. Ziggler tried to pin Knox who kicked out twice, before Finlay jumped in and started attacking Ziggler. Dolph Ziggler won the match and is heading to bragging rights.
Next was a tag team qualifing match Cryme Tyme against The Hart Dynasty. The Hart Dynasty started out strong really punishing Cryme Time while Teddy Long and Chris Jericho looked on in the office. Cryme Tyme is headed to bragging rights. Team Smackdown is turning out to be an interesting group of fighters.
Mickie James is talking to Teddy Long about coming to Smackdown. Then Beth Pheonix threatens Michelle McCool about her title not being around long. Then it pans to Vince McMahone on the cell phone being interrupted by C.M. Punk, who's whinning about the four way match for the title. Vince humors him and then denies that he will call off the fatal four way. Next week on Smackdown will be a repeat match of Undertaker versus C.M. Punk the referee and Teddy Long all there.
Next match to be announced was Eric Escobar being walked down to the ring with Vicky Guerrero. His opponent is none other than Matt Hardy. To determine who will be allowed to advance to Team Smackdown. Hardy tried many times in the begining to pin the newcomer. Vicky Guerrero distracted the refree with some kind of ailment which allowed Eric Escobar to win the match allowing him to move up to bragging rights on Team Smackdown.
Next was the dirt sheet was just John Morrison and The Miz mud slinging each other over who's better. We shall see at Bragging Rights. Bragging Rights in on 1 week from Sunday at 8:00 pm.
The next match is R-Truth against Drew McIntyre for advancement to Team Smackdown for Bragging Rights. R-Truth took alot of control in the beginning of the match as he's been being attacked by Drew McIntyre for a while now for no reason. By the time the commercials ended the match has gone against R-Truth and McIntyre is doing the dominating. Drew McIntyre won by a count out when he sent R-Truth into the steel steps, and snuck back into the ring, while the referee was still counting.
Undertaker appeared with a message to C.M.Punk this was his message "It has been said that history has a way of repeating itself, but not in this yard. CM Punk, Theodore Long, and Scott Armstrong once again the three of you have decided to tempt your own fate and rescue the holy grail from deaths grip. Once you enter hell's gate there is no turning back." At Bragging Rights Undertaker has sworn to take CM Punk's soul.
Rey Mysterio against Batista. Alot of the beginning of the match was Rey trying to beat down Batista, who stands alot taller than Rey Mysterio. Rey Mysterio tried to deliver a 619 but no one was home. Batista speared Rey and tried repeatdly to pin him. Rey successfully delivers a 619 after injuring Batista's leg. Rey took the win. Batista is arguing with the referee over the verdict but in the end accepts it. CM Punk grabs Rey Mysterio and puts him to sleep. And goes running in the crowd.
Make sure to look for the review of Bragging Rights.

My Thoughts on TNA for Oct 15 2009 (3hour show)
Originally posted on my blog Andrew and the Aluminumsidings on Oct 16th 2009
I waited all day and finally found it on youtube.
I don't know about anyone else, but it is great to see A.J. Styles with that heavy weight belt.
Pope's promo was different, nice way to sluck the product. I am still waiting for someone to snag me that trenchcoat of his
Whomever uploaded the show, dude you had alot of glitches.
X-Division title match. Suicide vs Amazing Red with Don West. As always this was a fast paced match with a few near falls. Red pulled off one of his trademark corkscrew dives. This was a fabulous match, until the Pope ran out and caused a DQ.
World Elite's Eric Young was on mic for the next match. Hernandez vs all three members of British Invasion in three single matches. Hernandez won all three rounds.
Eric Young then hit the ring for a beat down on Hernandez. Can we get rid of Rob Terry he's useless.
Four point promo between British Invasion, Team 3D, Beer Money Inc, Booker/Steiner. Which turned into a small riot. Where upon the Guns! ran out to help break it up. Interesting.
A.J. Styles' promos lately seem like he's reading the same script over and over. Maybe after this ppv coming up he'll have some new material.
The Pope vs Daniels. Not one of Daniels better matches, he's been alittle off last while and he's starting to look creepy. But Daniels did manage to get the win. Homicide came out dressed as Suicide at the end of the match for a beat down on Daniels.
Foley came out with popcorn. Doesn't he normally come out to the ring at the beginning of the show? This by the by was the first time of the night we see him (if the dude who up loaded it to youtube got everything that is) Actually I like the fact Foley is upset over the Abyss gimmick. I have been saying that its time to let Abyss go without the mask for months. Then Abyss came out to the ring
Homicide's promo could have been better. What, was he doing it off the cuff without a script?
Rhino vs Lashley in a stretcher match. Lashley won.
Styles vs Angle. They take so frealing long to get their butts down to the ring I could grab a coffee in that time. This was a twenty minute match, and was all submission still stuff. You don't see matches like this anymore, and it was nice to hear Taz admit to that during his commentary. This one did something I haven't seen in a long while, it hit it's timelimit. It was a draw.
This was being called the Super Show. Personally, I don't see what was so super about it. The last hour was wasted on comparing each wrestler for their match at the ppv this weekend.
And where the hell were the Guns!
About me
I am an huge fan of wwe I have been watching it on and off since I was a small kid. I am a mother of four small kids, and spend most of my time watching smackdown, raw and ecw along with all the pay per views. When not watching these shows I am usually on the web looking up things of interest or trying to help people in what they hope to acheive. Ask me anything and I will answer it.
Thanks,

Shane McMahon, Executive Vice President of Global Media, announced today he has tendered his resignation effective January 1, 2010.
STAMFORD, CT – Shane McMahon, Executive Vice President of Global Media, announced today he has tendered his resignation effective January 1, 2010.
Shane stated, “It has been an incredible experience to help build WWE® into a global phenomenon. However, having been associated with this organization for the majority of my life, I feel this is the opportune time in my career to pursue outside ventures.”
“Even though I am personally saddened by Shane’s decision to leave the company, I am proud of the enormous contributions he has made. He will unquestionably bring passion, commitment and extensive business experience to any endeavor he pursues,” said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman and CEO.
That is what he had to say :
"It is with great sadness that I announce my resignation from the WWE, effective January 1, 2010.
I have never even considered a future outside the walls of the WWE. However, sometimes life takes an unexpected turn and while it is the most difficult decision I have ever made, it is time for me to move on.
First and foremost, I would like to thank my father for the incredible education working with him has provided and for giving me the opportunity to play a role in building WWE into the global phenomenon that it is today. I am extremely proud to have been the 4th generation in this business, and I am grateful for everyday I was able to work along side not only my own, but the entire WWE family.
Thank you to all of the WWE Superstars both past and present for your passion, pride and dedication. You are truly the engine of the organization and it has been a pleasure to work with, learn from and get to know all of you. Thank you for the privilege of sharing the stage with you and for allowing me to become but a momentary member of your elite brotherhood. I have so much appreciation for the many sacrifices you endure, both physically and personally, to make this business the success that it is. The respect I have for each of you is immeasurable.
Finally, there are no words to express my gratitude to WWE fans the world over for supporting this company through good times and bad and for your unbridled passion that fuels the Superstars’ performances. I am profoundly grateful to have been able to entertain you both in front of the camera and from behind the scenes. You are the greatest fans in the world.
I will always love this business and will remain a fan forever.
Shane"

Shane stated, “It has been an incredible experience to help build WWE® into a global phenomenon. However, having been associated with this organization for the majority of my life, I feel this is the opportune time in my career to pursue outside ventures.”

Raw : 10/12/09
They announced a new ppv starting next month called Bragging Rights. Don't they have enough ppvs as it is?
#1 Jericho vs Big Show.
Big Show won
#2 Divas match. Mickie James vs Jillian.
Jillian won is now the new Divas Champ
#3 Divas match. Jillian vs Melina
Melina won is now the new Divas Champ
#4 Debiase vs Rhodes vs Cena
Rhodes won
#5 Swagger vs MVP
Swagger won
#6 Kofi Kingston vs Evan Bourne
Kofi won
#7 Divas match. 6 man tag. Beth Phonex/Fox/? vs Kelly/Gail/guest host Maria Mendunos
Kelly kelly got the win
#8 Randy Orton vs John Cena vs Debiase vs Rhodes in a 4 way
Cena won
Is the locker room that small now that they have to use the guys more then once a night?
I had no idea who the guest host was, which is a good thing they put up her show's theme. She's from Access Hollywood.
Smackdown Results : 10/9/09
Yes it's a week late, cause no one wanted to do the review.
There was a recap of the Hell in a Cell match which has a new champ in the Undertaker
#1 Rey Mysterio vs Chris Jericho.
Mysterio won
#2 Diva's match. Eve vs McCool.
McCool won.
#3 John Morrison vs Dolph Ziggler
Morrison won
#4 R-Truth /Matt Hardy vs Kane/Drew McIntyre
McIntyre got the win
#5 Batista vs CM Punk
Punk won.
This was a better episode then I have seen come out of wwe in over a year. I can still find a lot of issues with the show starting with the fact the old guys won't go away.
John Morrison is still being called a rookie even though he's been in the wwe for close to 8 years already. In my books that is a veteran.
Undertaker needs to step down and hand the torch over to someone new.
The tag teams in the wwe are eye sores that are more often then not, thrown together for no real purpose other then to be popcorn fill.

My Thoughts on TNA Global Impact 2
Originally posted on Andrew and the Aluminumsidings on Oct 10 2009
I used screen captures for this post
I guess iTunes Canada loves me too after all. They got the hint and had the show available this morning.
The show started off very different then a normal episode of Impact, with a low key over view of the press conference that was held before the event. I am not talking about the typical promos that are staged as "press conferences" on other wrestling shows, but a real news and proper media press release.
The flash back from the year before was packaged nicely, giving just enough information to give the audience a back story between the teams.
First up was the MotorCityMachine Guns! They wrestled No Limits for the IWGP Jr belts. I was caught up watching this one and it wasn't until the Guns! slammed into each other that I remembered I'm suppose to be taking notes. Alex Shelley got crushed with a leg drop to the jaw twice, before Chris Sabin was able to land one of his suicide dives. We then see Shelley is bleeding; not sure if it's his nose or mouth. Sabin managed to get a submission hold on, don't think I have ever seen him use submissions before. Sabin got in one of his beautiful spring rope DDTs. They used a combined move to get the win. The post promo showed just how much damage Shelley had taken during the match, with a swollen lip and broken nose.
Next was Kurt Angle/Kevin Nash as part of an 8 man tag. (sorry I didn't get the names of the other men) Nash started this one off with a few trademark forearms. There were so many quick tags I lost count. Angle finally made it in to the match near the end, and used a beautiful suplex. Angle managed to get this trademark Ankle Lock on for the win.
Final match was Team 3D vs Togi Makabe/Toru Yano for the IWGP belts. Devon started the match off. Both teams went for an early pin. Brother Ray tagged in turning it into a slug fest. Weapons then appeared as this was a hardcore match. Brother Ray managed a frog splash with some humour. They used a 3D and won the belts.
This was a very well put together episode. I liked the seriousness of it, and the quick packaged promos.
And given it was only an hour show, the three matches were well paced.

My Thoughts on TNA Impact for Oct 8 2009
Originally posted on Andrew and the Aluminumsidings on Oct 9th 2009
It's after 7pm here and it was finally available on iTunes Canada.
We opened with Abyss in the ring redecorating for Hallowe'en. Mick Foley came out and challenged ....we talked about this no more using the phrase "tweek" stop it! .... Abyss to Monsters Ball at the next ppv, for copyright of the gimmick.
World Elite cut a fabulous promo. Now Eric Young has a hit out on him. What's up with everyone wanting a bounty?
Hernandez vs Nash. For the Legends Title. Eric Young ran out and caused a DQ
Samoa Joe vs Amazing Red in an X-Division title match. Lashley interfered. This gave Red the advantage and the belt.
Daniels/Suicide vs Pope/Homicide. Pope got the win, and Homicide had a fit.
4 team signing for the ppv's ladder match. Beer Money Inc/Team 3D/British Invasion/Steiner and Booker. What the hell is that flaming hoop Rob Terry doing?
A.J. Styles promo was boring.
Abyss/Matt Morgan the evil druid vs Foley/Angle. Abyss swore and the camera got an extreme close up. The evil druid Matt Morgan got the win.
And the MotorCityMachine Guns! And right off Chris Sabin has returned to his sexual comments...er um gestures in this case. Alex Shelley looked almost embarrassed. Then Samoa Joe did us a favour and turned the still crappy music off. Boys, I thought you were going to improve your intro not make it suck worse?
NOTE ****** NEXT WEEK IS A SPECIAL 3 HOUR IMPACT!
Screwed up
Sorry to anyone who has subscribed to the blog.
I hit the wrong button -Did not mean to publish the TNA for this week yet, still working on it

Ask Ardeth
Time to dig into the fang mail for another batch of emails from beyond the grave.
Welcome to an overdue issue of "Ask Ardeth" Where anything that can be thought of to ask will be answered by my horror film Heavy Metal Goddess alter ego Ardeth Blood.
Dear Ardeth:
I read your wrestling blog Blind Tag and like the layout you have going on. But why is it that you only show pics from TNA and not from WWE? And why is it you never have any pics of the Divas/Knock outs?
Signed WWE fan in TEXAS
Dear WWE fan in TEXAS
Very simple. I download TNA weekly from iTunes Canada. I take screen shots of things from the shows. WWE is not available on iTunes Canada thus no screen shots.
I will start taking a few more of the women if enough people ask. So far no one has.
If any wrestlers in the Indie companies want to grant us photos to use I will gladly use them. If any one reading this has photos they have taken themselves at live shows and want to send them in, I will use them.
That's all the time we have for this one, come back around and see what other gobs of wisdom Ardeth Blood will dish out and serve to her fiends.
You can email Ask Ardeth at hardcorevampsprods@yahoo.ca

iTunes Canada did not have it for download till after 3pm.
New season of the show with a few new edits to the opening. I don't like it.
Abyss opened the show screaming for answers from Mick Foley. New Heel in Foley. Yay. Is this the end of the Abyss gimmick?
Amazing Red vs Kyotsi vs Bashir vs Creed vs Lethal. X-Division ladder match. Ohh Ohh my god Creed threw up all over the ring. Ohh Amazing Red won.
Dr. Stevie vs Nash. Both men need to get a hair cut. Nash won.
Hernandez vs Kurt Angle. Double count out then World Elite ran out.
Eric Young vs Matt Morgan the evil druid. It was a DQ as Kurt Angle came out of the crowd with a chair. Then World Elite and MEM ran out, with security. When did Scott Da'More return to TNA? Always cool to see him.
Team 3D/Lashley vs British Invasion/Rhino. Beer Money Inc on the mic. British Invasion tapped out.
And the MotorCityMachine Guns! What is with Alex Shelley sniffing the female reporter's hair? Dude you a puppy? Must be cause then he started scratching his skull again. Voo-Voo a new MMG video and theme to be on next show. Nice. I'm the only one on the planet who liked Chris Sabin's old theme eh? LOL. Yeah.
