So... why did ODB go through three matches to win a tournament to become number one contender, when she could have just used her rematch clause...?
Why do TNA insist on making things more complicated than they have to be?
Because apparently only Kurt Angle has a rematch clause...

I will continue to love "Tweener" Beth until McTaker comes along and uses her "Stroke" to retain the belt in their title match, killing all of Beth's momentum.

While I don't like the fact that it's McCool (although we could do allot worse) it is good to see a women in WWE with some influence.

I have been wanting this middle of the road performer for years
The last success I can think of was the Horsemen
I love it, because it opens it up to so many angles and possibilities. Problem is the kids would get confused and not know whether to buy their favorite Cena shirt anymore because he fought Shawn at a PPV

Hulk Hogan spoke about his role in TNA during an interview with IGN. "It's gonna be better for everybody. Vince (McMahon) is going to have to get serious. Instead of all the 'hee hee ha ha. Let's just give the fans weak programming' thing that he does. Because I'm serious. I'm coming in and I'm going to take a look at everything from the ring to Vince Russo's underwear. I'm going to turn this place upside down.
"I'm going to take guys like A.J. Styles, who works his butt off, so that when AJ Styles goes through an airport a year from now I want people to snap their heads around like it's Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan. There is a lot of talent there but someone needs to breathe life into them and make them larger than life. And to get them to really think about what they're doing in the ring. To really dial their characters in. And that's what I'm coming to do."

That bit about AJ in the airports is absolutely spot on. He's a mad old bastard, but if he's not making ridiculous oulandish statements that promise (at least) car crash entertainment, he actually makes some sense.
If Hogan can actually have the man on the street equate TNA with wrestling as well as "WWF" (sic) as he brings the company to its knees, he's nailed the fundamental problem with the group.
Although, I'm saying this as somebody who loves wrestling but has no problems watching a company go spectacularly to f*ck in the name of entertaining me for a bit. Nitro on Bravo was unmissable, after all.
the Rubik's Cube finisher.
in advance.
I still love the way Test sold Scotty's botch like he was hit by a truck.
