    Seriously, I can stomach wrestling maybe once or twice every five months or so, that's about it...
    I will avoid getting into the whole chemical/steroid discussion we've all talked to death. But, it is obviously the facts of the matter as far as the "look" goes...

    As far as the product? Could not agree more, Bueno, and for a very long time.

    But, there is some hope found over at TNA today. There really is. If you want to see an outstanding, up to four star ring workrate, combined with a good blending of old school and new era storylines, then you need to check it out.

    Not to discount the valid arguments against certain aspects of the TNA product in its early stages. Nor, the anti-WWE bias by others and the general "the current product sucks overall compared to back in the day..." by almost every one of us.

    But.........., having said all that, I could not help but take note of the recent comments (below) by our friend Dave Meltzer, of Wrestling Observer "fame" in his review of tonights TNA PPV.

    It certainly struck me as a refreshing and open minded change of pace in regards to TNA coverage in the wrestling press.

    They are finally getting their fair shake, it seems, and I can personally vouch for how hard the whole crew down there has worked to earn such reviews and respect.

    ...thus far, the TNA PPV shows have been blowing away the WWE shows. Even the Rumble as an overall show couldn't touch the last three TNA shows, and you don't event want to get into comparisons with shows like New Year's Revolution and No Way Out.

            Looked good on him, Goldberg is as dumb as a fence post anyway....

            WINDOWS BY GOLDBERG

            Many wrestlers never seem to get the credit they deserve for performing on live TV. With no re-takes or do-overs, guys have one shot to do it and do it right. More often than not, everything goes off without a hitch. Other times, quick thinking and improvisational skills are called upon to save the day. Then there was Bill Goldberg and the damn limo.

            During a January 2000 episode of WCW Thunder, the big angle of the night called for Goldberg to bust out the windows of the NEW “new” nWo's limo. To accomplish this feat, Goldberg was armed with a small black pipe. Held in Goldberg’s black glove against the backdrop of a night sky, the pipe was virtually invisible, giving the illusion that Goldberg was smashing the glass with nothing but his own superhuman strength. Only problem was, after breaking the first window, the pipe went flying out of Goldberg’s hand and inside the vehicle. The angle was being filmed live, so Goldberg couldn’t really open the door and crawl in to begin the chore of trying to find a tiny black pipe inside a limo with a black interior. Goldberg thought to himself, “No big, I’ll just break the rest of ‘em myself.” And so he did. A tedious string of “thump-thump-thump-crash” spots ensued as Goldberg discovered that limo windows were not designed to be broken by man. Oh yeah, and during one break, the big dummy shredded his ligaments on the broken glass, and had to sit on the shelf for half a year until his wing healed up.

            While no one scoffs at the perils of live television, the thought process that encouraged Bill to go mano-y-mano with thick limousine glass in the first place had many thinking that Goldberg was hitting a different kind of “pipe.”

                    Yeah, and for about the same dollar figure they were getting when they dumped USA after, what, twenty years for that 28m Spike payday...

                      Was cool seeing the Rockers perform together again....

                        Hey, Wrestlecrap.com has got a clip of the Macho Man Randy Savage`s rap classic "Be a man".

                        Get over there and have a listen.

                        It`s hilarious.

                            I don't ever recall Jake ever being "In" shape per se, but man he did look a bit chunky there...maybe he's kicking off the drugs and putting some weight on? One could hope...

                            Sorry I didn't watch Raw now! Is the WWE bringing him back for some sort of position (I doubt it's as a performer, but I think he'd be GREAT as a commentator or something)...

                              He did an interview after the show where he talked about his hip injury and surgery coming up and said he "let the cat (or snake) out of the bag" when accidentally mentioning that he might be coming back full-time, but its not official yet...Thats down the road the though as he needs his hip replaced....

                                I think he`d be great for getting a new guy over as a mentor and mouthpiece.

                                Kinda like he did with The Ultimate Warrior back in the day.
