Brock lesner is a big muscly bloke but he hasnt got what it takes to be in the UFC, Frank mir wasted him in his first fight with a mean ankle lock


Only due to Brock's inexperience. You see his demolition of Heath Herring at UFC 87? He learned from his mistake against Mir quickly, but I don't see him beating Couture at 91. Lesnar isn't that ready yet.

Looks like they may be beginning to trust Jeff again. There has never been any doubting his in-ring abilities, and the recent losses he suffered will hopefully have given him the jolt he needed to keep his personal life in check.

No idea where the Vickie/Taker thing is going, but i dread some goofy and embarrasing pyro and effects again....

Mick Foley made his TNA debut tonight at a house show in Westbury, New York. Nothing fancy just a promo saying TNA fans would see him on TV soon.

In an interesting twist, Team 3D thanked their hometown fans after their match and said they were to watch this space to see what the future holds for Team 3D, or the Dudleys.

There's only one place they can call themselves the Dudleys

WWE excelled themselves with Unforgiven last night. I was initially dubious of the Championship Scramble idea, but all the matches played out brilliantly, especially the WWE title one with everyone pulling together to build to Jeff's split second wrong decision at the finish.

Jericho/Michaels was everything it was expected to be and more, as was the tag title match and the forming of the 2nd/3rd Generation Stable, i just can't wait for the eventual feud with the Hart Foundation, it simply has to happen!

Much other gOOdness and a great overall finish, but wont spoil it here

Literally greatest PPV of the Year. I think it just topped WrestleMania XXIV. If nobody wants the results (that hasn't seen Raw or Unforgiven yet), don't click the spoiler. Because that is what is in there...

Triple H retains the gold on the WWE Scramble. He pinned MVP with mere seconds to go. Jeff Hardy was Interim champ 3 times. Kendrick was once, and for a good amount of time too.

Matt Hardy is the new ECW Champion. He pinned The Miz with around 1.30 to go. For the last minute, Hardy was breaking every possible pin. For the last 15 seconds, it was just a school-type pile-on you'd have with some friends.

Shawn Michaels beat Chris Jericho as the ref stopped the match because Y2J was getting absolutely demolished by HBK. Jericho wasn't defending himself anymore, so the referee stopped Jericho getting harmed anymore.

Who cares about the Divas... Michelle won anyway.

Simply Priceless defeated Cryme Tyme. After the match, the two teams started brawling and Manu (Afa Jr.) debuted and beat up Cryme Tyme.

BIGGEST SHOCK:

Chris Jericho wins WHC Scramble with 10 seconds to spare after pinning a lifeless Kane. Batista was the interim champ before that, as he pinned Kane. Jericho was CM Punk's replacement, because earlier in the night, he was attacked by Randy Orton, Simply Priceless and Manu backstage.

RAW was a blinder also. It's so refreshing after the "dum dum" days of Cena and Batista's reigns to see storylines layered across the whole show with lots of possibilities. Team Priceless and Orton are a brilliant combination, hopefully they get to run roughshod over all and claim all the gold before the New Hart Foundation debut and kick it up a gear.

Not only was it a good RAW, but it built up another one for next week with a cage match for the title.

Looking forward to ECW tonight to see what direction that goes.

Looks like TNA have some serious on the fly booking to do!

Booker T is stuck in Texas, he was in the main event 4 way. Sheik Abdul Bashir is also in Texas and appears to be a no show, he was in the X Division title 3 way. Storm ended up in hospital with breathing problems after last nights house show (where Jackie got a few teeth smashed out) so even if he can show, its unlikely Beer Money will be leaving with the titles, which may mess up the LAX spilt.

Nevermind, 'twill make things more fun and they might find the funds to fly Foley up at the last minute for some crowd pleasing fun before sticking him in an abysmal angle with Abyss....

Seriously - i look forward to PPV's like these. Joe's on the fly promo when Scott Hall no-showed was excellent to watch live, if somewhat less flowing on re-viewing.

Not nearly as much as Foley/Angle would

Good PPV effort on sunday night, but Abyss/Morgan v Team 3D was probably the worst match i have ever endured on a PPV, and stings promo at the start was awful too. I can't believe they're putting him in the main event for BFG.

Otherwise, No Surrender was excellent. Lethal and Dutt stole the show with an awesome ladder match. Next to Jericho/HBK its the best feud thats been in years now.

Excellent RAW last night too, awesome title match and built up an excellent PPV package.

I'm looking forward to HHH/Jericho/Hardy, that should be a keeper

Those are the terms of Stings contract, thats just how it is these days sadly. Joe's promo on him really played that up, and realistically, so long as Sting can bring his A-game, and put Joe over clean, it may do no harm.

Jarrett/Angle is also a lock for BFG, which would normally be great, but i just can't see Jarrett not going over on his return to PPV.

I have no idea how you could be bored with Lethal and Dutt! Tuxedo matches have been staple love triangle fued material since the days of Gorgeous George The continued buildup and sundays match was one of the best 2 man ladder matches i've ever seen, and part of a great angle too.

I can't stand the way so many storylines play out in a few months, or even weeks now. Decent Wrestling storylines take years to play out properly.

Foley is at this weeks Impact tapings so will debut either this week or next week. I'm really hoping they have sorted a regular enough contract to let him be a commentator, lord knows TNA need's that!

So it seemed yesterday morning. More details are emerging though so time will tell. He wasn't handcuffed or anything so it's not that serious, but given that he's on his final strike, if its anything wellness related he will be out.

WWE probably won't issue anything concrete unless they have to 'till after No Mercy.

A WWE rep told the Sun, "WWE has been informed of an alleged incident involving Jeff Hardy. We are currently investigating the situation and will take appropriate actions if needed."

Jason Powell of ProWrestling.net reports today that Nashville International Airport spokesperson Emily Richard is unaware of an incident involving Jeff Hardy and that no report pertaining to Hardy had been filed with the airport.

It's looking more and more innocent thankfully.

Keller put around a mail that it may have been some issue with his girlfriend, hence why the cops came and collected him from the airport, but no cuffs, no charges etc.

Maybe he just got some more bad news.

But of course the media will love to stir things.

The biggest hint its relationship related is in Matt's blog entry : http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=152686889&blogID=434078998
