The Continuation of the Nexus Storyline
Now I'll be the first to admit that I was all for the Nexus angle and what it could be,but now it seems,to me,like it's losing steam and losing it fast.With the loss of Bryan Danielson and the repeated attacking of WWE superstars by The Nexus,which for the I think is a dumb name,without any real moving forward of the storyline is starting to grow stale on me.Now they did try and spice it up ab it with the infusion of WWE heels turning their backs on Cena and his crew of faces but with Sheamus running away from The Nexus and coming to Cena's aid Monday night has just dropped the ball for me in that aspect.Now The Nexus did make an appearance on NXT last night and while it was interesting to see what they would do on their old home turf...to be honest they didn't do much.Sure they were in the battle royal but what did they do that they haven't done on RAW time and a again,and how can 6 guys win a 20 man battle royal?
They could've made things more interesting by having Wade Barrett take the place of an injured R-Truth in the Money in the Bank match but nooooo,they give it to Mark Henry.Way to drop the ball yet again WWE creative.Now I did like it when they jumped the WWE Legends and Ricky Steamboat legitimately ended up in the hospital but did they play that up either,not to it's fullest extent.Yes I know Steamboat could've died and that would've looked bad,but now that he's recovering...use it use it use it.I really hope things take an upswing for this angle and quickly
TNA's Victory Road PPV
I'm not going say much about this crapfest of a PPV except that The Motor City Machine Guns finally won tag team gold.The Angle/Pope match and parts of the Kaz and Styles vs. Joe and Rob Terry match (the parts without Terry were the best) warranted my attention but over all crappy booking kept me from liking this PPV.
There is a God in Heaven because MCMG gets tag team gold
It's about damn time TNA put tag team gold around the waists of the most over tag team not only in TNA but around the world.But the question remains...will The Guns hold onto the gold for long.After reading spoilers for the next two TNA Impact tapings *spoiler alert* The Guns have to face Beer Money Inc. in some lame ass best of 5 series to retain the gold. That is utter bull$h!t in my opinion.Those guys deserve to have a descent run with those belts and have matches against quality opponents. TNA don't you dare screw over The Guns.NXT Season 2
So far I'm digging it,although let's hope they don't repeat the whole Pros/Rookies falling out like they had and the first of the season.I agree in the choice of Titus O'Neil being voted off mainly because he's about as appealing as a dog turd sammich.Now if we can just get rid of Eli Cottonballs,Lucky Cannon and Percy Watson (yes I know he's the most charismatic but damn he gets on my nerves) then we'll have a good show.I just wish Joe Hennig would get some more air time along with Husky Harris.
Lucha Libre is coming to MTV2 this Friday
Finally,an alternative to the crap that is WWE and TNA (and the closest I'll get to Chikara on national TV) MTV2 is stepping out on a huge limb putting this on but I honestly think it'll go over much better than that crapfest WSX...why...because this is real wrestling from a real promotion,not some fed that was thrown together by some TV execs.I'm also in contact with Lucha Libre USA's rep and I hope to have some of their talent on Beyond Ringside soon.Lucha Libre USA:Masked Warriors debuts this Friday night,tune inCHIKARAsaurus Rex draws ever closer
Chikara is setting up for there biggest single night card in the company's history and I can tell you that I'm as equally if not more than excited for this event.In a huge cross promotion with Dragon Gate USA,Chikara stands to sell out the old ECW Arena and with this action packed card I wouldn't be surprised if they do. For more info head over to www.chikarapro.comECW coming to TNA
Hmmmm....I'm gonna sit on this awhile and see how it goes.Will Paul Heyman sign...will more former ECW stars show up...will this lead to a 2nd more ECW style show for TNA...will this suck worse than the Invasion angle?...I'm gonna wait and see before I comment.
Well that's all I really feel like covering right now,I'm sure there's alot I missed...but I'm tired and the meds I'm taking for my knee are kicking in.
