Garett and Gunner start the match brawling until Bully Ray joins Gunner in the ring to make it two on one.

Kazarian turns things around for his team when he hits the ring. Aj Styles follows soon after and takes out all three members of...

Eric Bischoff comes to the ring and starts talking about his legacy in the business and the current storyline with Garett. The fans chant “We don’t care! We Don‘t care!” really loudly and I agree with them.
It’s pretty blatant and shameless nepotism and insulting to so many guys on the TNA roster that Garett is getting a push that they deserve.
Eric’s team at Lockdown, Bully Ray, Gunner, Kazarian and Chris Daniels join Eric in the ring.

The 60 seconds of Daniel Bryan Vs Kofi Kingston was good.... Couldn't they have given these guys a little more time than that? Would 5-10 minutes really have hurt?

It makes perfect sense though, especially as we heard their opinions on Roode’s climb to the TNA World Title in the build up to Bound For Glory.

TNA Impact Wrestling Thoughts (US Air date: 8.9.2011)

Mr Anderson comes to the ring and cuts a promo on Kurt Angle and Immortal.
He introduces Sting to watch his back.
Sting comes to the ring and announces that “The Network” have given him the right to be the special enforcer for the Kurt Angle Vs Mr Anderson match later tonight.

I liked the promo work by both guys, but I'm not personally a fan of all "The network" stuff and how it is being used.
I wouldn't mind it being used in a mor...

WWE TV Thoughts W/E 4.9.2011 By David Damage

WWE Raw 29th Aug 2011

CM Punk, Kevin Nash and Triple H open the show with an in-ring promo segment
The main point being “Is Triple H working with Kevin Nash”
Nash says that he was signed to a lucrative contract and that Triple H could release him if he wants to and he would sit home and still get paid for not doing anything (That’s what Kevin Nash has always been paid to do, in fairness). Triple H said that he wasn’t going to fire him.
For all the little kids out there, CM Punk...

TNA Impact Wrestling Thoughts By David Damage

US Air Date: 1st September 2011

TNA Impact is on the road, in Alabama.

Hogan comes to the ring and says that the only way Sting is going to get him into the ring for a match is when he says so.
Angle comes down the ramp and joins Hogan in the ring.
Hogan tells Angle that TNA was a sick place before he joined and he wants Dr Angle to grab Sting by his ankles, drag him to the ring and cut the cancer out of Sting and TNA.
Angle says that Hogan's enemies ar...

My WWE Raw Thoughts 22.8.2011 By David Damage

John Cena, Alberto Del Rio, Triple H and CM Punk come to the ring and argue about who the No.1 contender is.... Lots of fast forwarding here. Boring Segment.

20 minutes into Raw (about 5 minutes for me using Fast forward) John Morrison Vs Alberto Del Rio is about to start...

They have a good match, thanks largely to John Morrison, who is such a great athlete.

Eve Vs Nikki Bella... What a waste of time.

Jack Swagger Vs Alex Riley.

Jack Swagger is pretty ...

David Damage: This Week In WWE


Raw Thoughts 15th August 2011

Triple H promos are so slow and boring

John Morrison Vs R-Truth
Great work by both guys in the match. I'm sure this will be the best thing on Raw all night. Thumbs up from me.

Miz & Jared segment? Complete crap. Waste of air time. Waste of my time, even though I fast forwarded past it.

Kelly & Eve Vs Bella Twins
For my own sanity I didn't really watch it, but I'm sure it was worthless

Punk / Kevin Nash Segment

I haven't said a bad thing ab...

WWE SummerSlam 2011 Thoughts By David Damage

SummerSlam 2011 Thoughts By David Damage

The guitarist from Tool opens the show with a guitar solo rendition of the American National Anthem

The opening six man tag team match was going well, but ended way too early, so it just resembled a random Raw match.
One good thing is that Miz was booked in the match, meaning that he had 5 other  guys to make the match watchable and we didn't have to see him try to work a  singles match tonight.

Mark Henry Vs Sheamus was a typical crappy WWE match.
All thes...

WWE Raw 9th August 2011

Do..... you..... think.....  Triple H.......  taught...... Randy Orton...... how.... to..... talk..... so..... slowly?

Damn Cena

Good to see Beth getting the win over Eve and pointing out how the dizzy divas, like Kelly Kelly, are a stupid joke we've all been made to sit through for too long now.

R-Truth Vs John Morrison was the best thing on Raw

Main event on Raw is long promo segment / contract signing....
CM Punk cut another good promo, but it's just a shame it's wasted i...

WWE MITB PPV Recap By David Damage

Posted by David Damage on Wednesday, July 20, 2011, In : PPV & TV Thoughts 
WWE - Money In The Bank 2011

Here are my thoughts:

I liked the first MITB match - and even more so, the decision to give the MITB to Daniel Bryan. I didn't expect that at all.
Hardly one of the best MITB or ladder matches I've seen, but I enjoyed it. Good match.

I liked that CM Punk took the title from Cena and Punk's performance in the match was great - from his playing to the crowd, to the moves he did - to trying to cover up for Cena's inability to do anything.
While he was Cena's lame subm...
