Ray?
Lesnar destroyed Couture in the second round, catching him with a big right then pounding him with hammer fists on the ground 'till the ref stopped it.
He dominated most of the grappling too, and, possibly most importantly, escaped from a couple of holds that would definitely have seen him tap in his earlier fights.

Was first Lesnar MMA fight i have seen and i was really impressed. I thought Couture's age really showed in the fight but to be honest.
Was also shocked that Brock's married to Sable from WWE.

erm I fink that Jericho will screw his way to victory again.
Hope Jericho wins but in a clean way, he was good before he left, and could beat cena without cheating.
Might stay up to watch, wont be paying a penny like.

cena vs batista vs orton for the championship is scheduled for a raw live event in pennsylvania a week after SS
another thing i think will definately happen is edge bein involved with the triple threat match
also a small possibility that umaga will be involved in taker vs show but don't count on it!

Edge is already involved, even the mainstream press have picked up on todays angle!
http://sports.aol.com/story/_a/bbdp/wwe-star-reportedly-found-unconscious/257921
Personally, if he's in the match, I expect Hardy to win this time. All the contingency plans are in place now to quickly and plausably get the title off him if he's stupid again, so its now or never.
The most definite result tonight is Orton being the sole survivor for his team.
6 months ago I would have worried about Cena winning, but not now. Jericho will retain but probably not cleanly, yet.
Umaga's busy with Black Pain down in FCW, so I wouldn't expect him to show up yet, but Christian is another matter...

this angle with jeff bein beaten up is a storyline with edge...
jeff's gonna be sellin his injuries tonight .. it could just mean hhh gettin the pin on him and technically vladimir is still undefeated...
or he could just be injured on the outside hhh hits koslov with a pedigree turns around to a twist of fate and swanton...that's what i hope anyway
yeah so in the not so far away future i want christian back on smackdown start e & c back up my third favourite tag team ever haha...few tlc matches

First 2 hours were pants, last hour was ok. WWE have thrown a spanner in the works there eh guys? Two new champs even u2 didn't see coming

The highlight for me was the Team Orton/Batista SS match. Brilliantly booked and executed, the simmering storyline between Rhodes and Orton is pure gold, and worked into Ortons SS legacy flawlessly.
The Michaels/Morrison angle is great fun too.
I'm glad they went with the WWE title switch, but as good as Hardy/Edge will be, I could watch Koslov and HHH all night. Brilliant match.
Then it all went downhill I completely understand Cena's appeal, and what a money maker he is for the company, but none of that relies on him being the champ, so why they went with that lord alone knows. Fingers crossed Jericho gets it back tonight or ASAP.

Nah Jericho wont get it back at all now, I remember cena when he went about 2 years undefeated, can see something close to that happening. If what hurricane says is true tho, he will be defending against orton and batista next week.
thought the taker/show match was utter drivel tbh, hate everything that taker does though, its pure cheese.

read up to my spoiler i'm pretty sure i guaranteed cena would win
spinner thought jericho would win
actually glad jeff wasn't in the match he didn't need another defeat...and it'll be more believable if he takes the title from edge than hhh

also i predicted mr tough wouldn't get pinned think everyone could have guessed that though

Spinner *hoped* Jericho would win
I honestly didnt think they would be so stupid, but thinking about it, I've realised the old-school thinking doesn't cut it now. In the past, injuries weren't acknowledged, people just "went somewhere else", which during the territory period, was often true.
Realistically, Cena has been out, rested, and trained hard for a comeback. Jericho has been in some brutal battles (literally) recently, cant match power with Cena, so lost.
I think more than Cena winning, i was just dreading the invetable black hole of boredom that will materialise, probably tonight, when the Cena/Batista feud starts..
Cena can be great when paired with someone who can work with him. Like last night, great match, but Jericho very obviously carried it. Same with his recent outings with JBL.
Cena/Batista worked once because everyone thought it would be awful, but turned out not awful.
That can be fine one time, but you really don;t want "not awful" matches headlining PPV's, if you know what i mean.
/rant
Still, i'm gonna be hooked on RAW to see if there's just a glimmer of hope in the idea that Cena/Batista/Jericho will be televised and not a dark match.
Looks like Gail Kim is set to debut tonight, along with Kizarny (I've always liked his character, hopefully it won't be too watered down)

No sign of Gail yet. She does better fit the Diva title than the raw belt.
I'd like to see a unification match between Gail and Natalia. It could match Perfect/Hart's IC title matchups..
Here's a great paragraph from Meltzer this week :
Hope this goes ahead. The "dungeon trio" have been pure gold on FCW the past month, and there's no reason they can't carry on, and butt heads with Orton, Rhodes and DiBiase down the line..

Wrestling_Observer said:
During a flight home to Connecticut, Vince McMahon was in a bad mood due to what he considered to be a bad week of television tapings. McMahon looked over a sheet of paper listing the entire roster -- including developmental talents down in Florida Championship Wrestling. McMahon saw the name Harry Smith, and railed on the creative team for letting this "Pedigree kid" sit on the sidelines. McMahon called Smith a "Pedigree kid" because he's linked to the legendary Hart family and people from wrestling families are always favored (which explains why so many of them have landed developmental contracts despite little to no prior wrestling experience). Well, McMahon went on and on about the creative team letting good, young talent such as Harry Smith waste away or get jobbed out.
Following McMahon's rant, Smith & Wilson were put together as a team in Florida to get them on track for their eventual call-up to the main roster.

Any thoughts on Khan's fight last night?
Personally i think it's a shame. Fagan was never in his league, and it just looked like an exhibition fight to give Khan a win.
Good for his stats and merchandising/sponsorship deals etc, but didn't do him any favours within the boxing community i would think.
Interesting scenario for TNA tonight with Rhino ending up in hospital yesterday. I also actually hope they go with Mikey Whipwreck as the former world champ "surprise". As much as i like and have enjoyed Terry Funk over the years, he's just uncomfortable to watch now..
