A show debuting in October is going to be gone by August and Raw is going to drop a third hour on a cable network starved for content in the middle of summer...
Are you a betting man sir?

It's not the roster I'm worried about. It's the "Lack of Creative - F It Vince Will Just Overrule Anything Creative" Department.
Clearly 7 hours per week of in-ring programming (RAW + NXT + SmackDown + Superstars) is not enough to tell stories.
10 hours on PPV weeks.
Now we'll get 11 hours.
How much of that will be in-ring action? Oh... MAYBE 90 minutes.
I think plenty of people have performed the Attitude Adjustment, anytime in wrestling history that someone has performed a fireman's carry, anyway.
Sometimes I don't read ^_^
I'll give that new show until the end of the year. Raw will definitely be 2 hours again by the end of August.
By the way, Raw doesn't get the 8PM slot in Canada on The Score no matter what. So, when 3 hour Raw begins, it plays from 9:15PM to 12:15 AM, and that's before the overrun. So it usually ends at around 12:30 AM. I have a hard enough time staying up til 11 for this garbage. How the fuck are the little Jimmies going to stay up til 12:30?

That's actually not a problem.
Nobody watches WWE any more in Canada.
And the WWE never tours in Canada.
Eventually, the Score will elect not to renew their contract and will replace it with horse racing/curling/MMA coverage/poker tournies and get better ratings bang for their buck.

Where's Rock!
Rock:Bret :: Punk:Savage
Scorpion Death Lock sucks too
The roster (especially in developmental + super undercard) is pretty solid, main roster is paper thin though.
Can't fucking believe that The Score isn't just cancelling Countdown to Raw if they're forcing an hour delay on us anyway.
I generally watch the show on DVR though so... /shrug
Wait, does he have the legs backwards?

Finally watched the bret vs shawn DVD.
Great stuff.
I kind of forgot all the stuff that happened to Bret after the screwjob. Friends and family dying left and right and his stroke.
The guy got dealt a bad hand after he left WWF.
Compared to what HBK went though Bret had enough bad shit happen for him to find god 5 times over.
I would love to see other videos like that from them but I cant think of any other feud that got that personal and that would work in the format.
You could probably do a Austin vs Rock DVD that would sell on there star power alone but it wouldn't have anywhere near the emotion to it and I cant see having rock and austin talking about how much the liked each other and how great there matches where would make for great watching.
Cant wait for the rise and fall of TNA though... whenever it gets made.

The correct Walls of Jericho is not the Boston Crab!!!
It's more of a modified high angle Boston Crab.
So what you're saying is, Rick Martel is better than Chris Jericho?

Couple of title matches signed coming out of Best in the World;
. At the TV tapings in Baltimore this Friday, it will be Roderick Strong (c) vs Adam Cole for the ROH World TV Title
. In Spartanburg, SC, on July 28th it will be 'Mr Wrestling' Kevin Steen (c) vs 'The Notorious 187' Homicide for the ROH World Heavyweight Title.
Looking forward to both those matches - Strong is seriously underrated, I'm sure he'll make Cole look great, while Homicide vs Steen could be pretty brutal, depending the type of match they work.

Details on Tommy Dreamer's new promotion 'House of Hardcore', which debuts in October;
"The new House of Hardcore promotion is owned and being run by Tommy Dreamer. The debut event will be Saturday 10/6 in Poughkeepsie, NY at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center.
We are told Poughkeepsie will be the home base for the company and there will be additional details on the project announced the first week in July."
Teaser trailer;

Hopefully this isn't going to be as woefully depressing as Extreme Reunion/Extreme Rising, whatever Douglas is calling it now.

fuckin' called it, man
WHY DOES KHRNO POST IN GIFS?
Cena's acting in general is horrendous.
To apply more pressure by leaning onto the ring apron and grabbing the ropes of course!
And since Cena is in so much pain he doesn't even realize where in the ring he is.
In wrestling one doesn't reach sidewards for the ropes, you can only reach right in front of you and crawl directly forward towards the ropes.
GOOD POINT

Look at it this way people, there's no way Jericho's return now can be more underwhelming than his one from earlier this year right?
If he comes back as a face then there's no need to fear, there's no worst face than Cena.

He's going to be chummy with CM Punk, Sheamus and Cena, I can't wait!
It speaks volumes that harnessing the incredible powers of June that has enabled landscape altering feats in wrestlings past TNA can only use it to become average at best.
Seriously though TNA is doing okay right now but its airing times are pretty atrocious in Blighty so I find it hard to care, by the time I get the ppv events especially its old news, Rise to the challenge Challenge tv! I want live stuff to be live.
