It's sad to see the original Wrestling Thread end =( 57 Pages.... You shall be missed R.I.P.
Anybody following TNA??? I think they are really starting to pick up, and the new championship belts are pretty sharp looking. The Steiner Brothers are back together and are going to be taking on Team 3-D at the next PPV. Great promo tonight between Scott and Bubba. Rick was pretty funny when he pulled out a huge list of tag teams they have beaten and started reading them. Scott was pretty good saying how The Steiners were true WORLD tag team champions as they traveled to Japan, Korea, etc... and that Team 3-D has no right being called World Tag Team Champions because they never left the Bingo Hall, funny stuff, and it should be a decent match up

Is anybody excited for the new Lottery Draft in two weeks??? I am still not sure what I think about it, I guess it's the second best thing the WWE can do right to mix it up and be fresh again. The only other thing that would work is putting all the brands back together and making weight divisions for top notch competition.
And I thought Randy Orton was in all of this trouble for his attitude and trashing a locker room, but the only punishment I have seen is him winning and knocking out legends.
eCw is the biggest joke, and even though I was never a big eCw fan I feel sorry for what it has become, the eCw originals are nothing more than a bunch of jobbers now

The draft lottery has got me excited, although I am not sure how it will work with Raw and ECW not having a General Manager to make their drafts. Also I have no idea if every single superstar will be drafted into a show that night or if it will only be like 10 draft picks per show and everyone else stays put if they aren't drafted.

I'm thinking each brand will get 10 picks, 5 from each brand. So Raw gets 5 from ECW and 5 from SmackDown!, ECW gets 5 from Raw and 5 from SmackDown!, and SmackDown! gets 5 from Raw and 5 from ECW. It may seem like alot, but they should've thought about it when they brought back ECW. Besides, it really would shake things up.

I'm really digging Kevin Thorn right now. I hope he gets drafted to Raw, since him leaving the New Breed story line hasn't been utilized, and that he gets a push for the IC title.

I am right there with you, I totally think that Kevin Thorn should get a push and really be thrown into the mix for the IC Strap or perhaps even the US Title, he is a great in ring performer and has a great character, if used properly the sky is the limit for this guy, kind of reminds me of one of my all time favorite wrestlers Vampiro

Mark Henry def. Kane in a Lumberjack Match
Great, I really don't get why they keep forcing Mark Henry down our throats. He is not that great and bores me. Unless Kane is injured and needs some time off I don't understand this move right now

Unless Kane is injured and needs some time off I don't understand this move right nowProbably because Vince invested so much money in him years ago and everytime he seems to reach the summit of the sport or gets over with the crowd he ends up hurt. I think Vince's ego won't let him go away.

I really enjoyed RAW last night, there were alot of great matches, I think my two favorite matches of the night were:
1. Ric Flair vs Randy Orton 2. The Hardys vs Cade & Murdoch
With the draft next week I really think that John Cena will be drafted to Smackdown, seems like they played it out that way last night.
I hope we get to see a Umaga vs Great Kali fued

Let's talk about something else though that actually happened, like the draft. RAW: King Booker Bobby Lashley Snitsky Mr. KennedyECW: The Boogeyman Chris BenoitSMACKDOWN!: The Great Khali Torrie Wilson Chris Masters Ric FlairBut it's not over yet.

I think that Mr Kennedy moving to RAW is going to be the best thing for Monday Nights, what a draft pick for that brand!
I hope that Kevin Thorn ends up on Raw or Smackdown after Sunday's draft.

So how long does everyone think this whole "McMahon is dead" $#!+ is going to last? I think I'm just gonna spoil it for everyone. They're gonna rule it a "suicide." No one here actually thinks he's dead right?

I hate the death storyline for McMahon is stupid. Just another way to feed his already massive ego. I give it about a month to play out and then he magically shows up. I wish he would just disappear from tv though

No one here actually thinks he's dead right? Hopefully they will play it out for a year or so and keep him off of tv or I should say keep himself off tv. I hear that Jesse Ventura was in CT the other day at WWE headquarters meeting with the so called "deceased" Mr. McMahon, I wonder if he will be taking over as an authority figure in the WWE?

I think it was a hoax on "Mr. McMahon's" part. Did you notice the way he was smiling as he was leaving the ring and heading to the limo? He was extremely distraught and irrational since losing the ECW title, and all of a sudden he was smiling! Notice the two guys that were hanging out outside? I think he was smiling because he was happy that there would be witnesses. Also, what about the fact that they never found the body? I think he planned it and he used "Mr McMahon appreciation night" as an excuse to have all the wrestlers in one place. How else are they going to explain his sudden return? I think this is how it makes the most sense. I don't think it'll be close to a year, a few months at the most.

ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL LANDS IN TNA - One half of the legendary Road Warriors tag team, Animal, made his debut on TNA yesterday during the Slammiversary pay-per-view, teaming up with Rick Steiner in a tag team title match against Team 3D. He replaced Scott Steiner who is out injured after undergoing throat surgery in Puerto Rico a few weeks ago. Animal, real name Joe Laurinaitis, was released from WWE in the end of June of last year when his brother, John Laurinaitis, was in charge of talent at the company. His appearance at the TNA show managed to be kept secret.

SHERRI'S DEATH NOT BY NATURAL CAUSE - At 49 years of age, Sensational Sherri still looked good and with a lot of energy so it was a big shock when the wrestling community heard the news that she passed away late last week at her mother's house. While speaking to the Tuscaloosa News, Captain Loyd Baker, commander of the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit, said that Sherri did not die of natural causes although foul play is not suspected. "The cause of death is pending her autopsy and toxicology report," he said Monday. She was found dead by her husband at around 12:45PM after going to bed because she wasn't feeling well.
