wasnt john cena out for a long time two years ago and made his big comeback

infact i bet edge vs jericho at mania

Can't remember when it was Edge picked up the injury..So not sure how long he's been out for..

Taped Raw Live on Monday and the fooking Sky Plyus said there was a technical fault. I would have waved it off BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY BLEEDING WEEK!!!

Why is it just that particular programme that won't tape because of a "fault"? Really winds me up!!!

On a sad note, another wrestler passed away today. Dr Death Steve Williams died from throat cancer at only 49.

It might be your box turning itself onto standby at that time in the morning, Sky have an auto standby feature in effect between 11pm - 4am where if the remote isn't pressed for 2 hours the box powers down.

You can turn it off by doing the following;

Press the Services button on your Sky remote.
Press 7 for Auto Standby.
Push left (or right) to change ON to OFF.
Go to Save New Settings and press Select.

still tapes the programme even if its off

I did think that at the time, but watch wrestling with shadows and you start to think (could also be staged of course)

Now there's a contender for best there was etc..

JR's son wasn't he ?

HBK has to "earn" his match vs taker,,, gotta win the rumble then

Edge's injury should be healed up, assuming he's had no set backs, in time for the Rumble. So I wouldn't bet against him being a suprise entrant, or if he's not quite 100% I can see him attacking whoever his next feud is with and causing them to be eliminated

Chris Jericho?

Just noticed on WWE.com that they've (apparantly) switched from Jakks to Mattel for their action figure range.

Don't collect them now (been as I am 26





), but like to check out the new ones and occassionally buy the odd one if it's a bargain on that popular auction site or something.

Used to have absolutely loads of the Hasbro WWF and Galoob WCW figures as a kid.

Any news on when the January 4th TNA show will be screened in the UK? Not holding out much hope it'll be live.

There was an angle where he was JR's son. But it was only a work.

Just been watching Impact on Bravo. I don't follow TNA loads, but watch it whenever I can.

I don't know what it is, I don't know why it is and I certainly can't explain it, but I think I'm in love with ODB!

Doesn't look like it will be live in the UK I've e-mailed Bravo to ask about the Saturday timeslot because it's currently only set for 2 hours.

I'm going to see if I can get a good live stream.

Matches currently set for the live iMPACT!

X Division Championship - Inside the Steel Asylum
Knockouts Championship - Tara vs. ODB
Knockouts Tag Team Championship - Sarita and Taylor Wilde vs. Awesome Kong and Hamada

More matches will be announced either today or maybe during the show in the first hour they have before RAW starts. Expecting a lot of surprises on the show.

Just read an interview with Dixie Carter - apparently the show will be edited to 2 hours for the Saturday slot. She's frustrated about it but nothing she can do.

RVD is rumoured to be appearing on Impact

Ken Anderson (Mr Kennedy), Angelina Love, Paul Heyman, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman (X-Pac) also rumoured.

Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore are also heading to Florida to check out the show and talk to TNA and Hogan.

It will be interesting to see what turns out to be true.

I also like a bit of ODB!

TNA have the stars, they have the talented undercard now if only they could get some decent booking they may be going somewhere. Booking Waltman, Hall & Bubba The Love Sponge is NOT the way forward. They will be lucky to draw higher than a 0.6 this evening.

WWE though are going the right way about this. Bret Hart alone will spike the rating at LEAST 1 point. Add to that the show being of PPV quality [DX vs Jerishow, Orton vs Kofi & A probable Women's Title Change. to name a few TNA has no chance in hell of competing, Hogan or no Hogan.

TNA is still listed as a 2 hour show on Bravo this Saturday.

The way Vince has been working the last few weeks, Bret will not be the heel. As for the whole worked shoot thing...this story has been knocking around for years. The only way this would seem plausable would be that it was a worked shoot for Bret to get the big Payday from WCW but went wrong when Owen died. Though I don't believe it. I think the Wrestling with Shadows thing was simply bret FEARING he was going to be screwed and wanting it documented.

I agree that TNA will still suffer, (despite getting Angelina back tonight - which I'll probably watch it later for that). They couldn't even sell out their big granddaddy event so having Hogan & his mates won't change anything.

Interesting the rumours being "mysteriously" let out about Kennedy, RVD, Jeff Hardy. Smacks of despiration.

Conversely I hope HBK mentions the "cowardly bald yellow dog" comment from Bret's book.

Watching both streams, the broadcasters are warning that they may go down as the numbers (2 hours before broadcast) are above WM numbers for both shows.

TNA isn't been shown complete in Britain, it's going to be a 2 hour edit not the full 3 hours.
