And TNA has been horrible since they buried Christian the first time. Not necessarily for that reason, but that's about the time frame.

 

[Peter Parka]

TNA's been getting better since the stopped giving so much time to Hogan, Bishoff and Flair. Admittedly it still has its faults, mainly the boring story with Bishoff and his son but the Beer Money divided stuff, the knockouts and the X division has been awesome lately

I'm so sick of Hogan and Sting being on TV all the time, especially when they're having them actually wrestling and having young people lose to them, give me a fucking break.

:confused Sting and Hogan have wrestled once each in the last 4 months and that wasn't against a youngster.

Every time I see Jericho's ring gear, I think he looks like a Decepticon. :24:

The Michaels/Triple H segment was great. That match got great build. The problem is the Elimination Chamber match got more comedic build which I wasn't a fan of as such. But yeah, really good Michaels/Triple H stuff.

I agree completely... RAW was weak tonight otherwise, but HBK/HHH saved it.

I could have swore Sting was wrestling against Bully Ray and Robert Roode not too long ago, not exactly "youngsters" but they are still the guys in the title picture and the main storylines right now. And while he hasn't been wrestling they do shit like having Hogan beat up Gunner and single handedly stopping group beatings against Sting at that PPV not too long ago

Kane throwing Ryder off the stage made me lol

The whole Cena rescues Eve and then she kisses him accidentally in front of Ryder was so absurdly predictable. I was awesome that it turned the crowd even further against Cena. Then the supposed nice guy Cena takes his shirt off like hes.gonna fight the dude in a neck brace. :24: Here's to hoping that they have him actually turn heel eventually.

 

[dkwrtw]

I didn't like the Kane/Cena feud at first but I'm actually finding it highly entertaining now, lol at Kane breaking Ryder's back for a SIDE BEEF :24:

Elimination Chamber tonight....

Raw Chamber was good, but two points. Truth went out far too early. Punk was the only one winning as far as the crowd were concerned, which he did. It was good but should have been much better. Also Jericho was never officially eliminated, so expect some fallout from that.

Beth/Tamina wasn't bad but the crowd didn't care.

The Marella comedy should really have gone on Raw.

Ditto that with the Laurinaitis/Henry/Christian/Del Rio segment, the crowd lost interest pretty much.

The Smackdown Chamber was a better match than the Raw one, the finish with Santino/Bryan was great where the crowd were really behind it.

Swagger/Gabriel was purely filler and over before anyone could begin to care.

Cena/Kane was a good brawl, expected finish but a cool spot with the AA off the ambulance.

Overall good, the main matches delivered at least. The Jericho thing intrigues me now. It may be that they just go with Jericho challenging Punk now as Sheamus did a beatdown of Bryan after the Smackdown chamber.

 

[Joey]

Sounds like the crowd were pretty boring? - I haven't seen it by the way, just basing it on your review!

I bet having Santino/Bryan as the last two actually gave the crowd belief that Santino might pull it off, because no one expected him to win the Battle Royale on Smackdown! I like that they are pushing Santino, just maybe a bit extreme pushing him for the World Title.

 

[Springsteen]

Yeah it wasn't a great crowd in truth. I thought Santino was going to win BUT I think it adds to Bryan's heel character now having him win because it threw the fans.
