Lillian Garcia... Video Recap of last week and AJ getting carried out on a strecher after her collision with Big Show air before the show starts.
Lillian Garcia announces the arrival of Daniel Bryan and the boos immediately start flooding in. Daniel Bryan's heel turn has just been played out masterfully. When he enter the ring he does so looking REALLY pissed. Although sometimes D-Bry is a bit iffy on the mic at times he really can tell a story just by his facial expressions. Impressive.
Cole and Booker set up the main event between Daniel Bryan and Mark Henry, this is some nice build up to the main event. Wow this crowd REALLY doesn't like Daniel!
Daniel Bryan talks about how he is pissed about how a 500 pound monster bowled over his 95 pound girlfriend. He says it was intentional and that Big Show is bitter because he only has a 45 second World heavyweight Championship reign.
Apparently AJ "career could be over" as DB states that she "insisted" on being at ringside because she loves him and that he dedicates the match the her.
He says he will beat Henry and announces that Big Show isn't at Smackdown tonight as well and that is lucky because he would not be responsible for what he would do to Big Show. He implores Big Show to do the decent thing and Quit.
I REALLLLY like Daniel Bryan and his new heel persona. WWE has done a good slow buildup with him and the crowd seems to have completely turned on him. now. This was a quite a short promo and was too the point. The only small criticism is that it was very much a repeat of what he said on RAW this week but that is nit picking seeing he is on the Smackdown brand and is likely to re-emphasise what happened last week. Overall, great opening promo.


They cut to a backstage segment with a load of guys playing roulette and all that jazz before Teddy Long and his walking innuendo friend Aksana talk about how the Smackdown Roulette works (i.e you spin the roulette to determine match stipulations). Aksana suggests her and Teddy have a pillow fight match later....how these segments get on PG TV I will never know.
Cody Rhodes comes out and talks trash about his brother Dustin Rhodes aka Goldust and states that he is the last hope for the Rhodes family. He spins the roulette for an upcoming match and gets "players choice", which means he can pick his opponent for his next match....Cody says he will fight anybody but then picks Hornswoggle......I hate hornswoggle he diminishes wrestling and is not funny.
It definitely looks like a Cody vs Dustin match is going to happen, either at the Rumble, Elimination Chamber or perhaps WM. And again, I hate Hornswoggle and Cody Rhodes should be above this nonsense as the Intercontinental Champion.
CODY RHODES VS HORNSWOGGLE
This better be quick. Cody Rhodes beats down Hornswoggle before he gets to the ring a bit before Justin Gabriel's music hits and he runs down to save Hornswoggle seeing they have some kind of bromance on the go lately. Gabriel gets a mic and states that he should pick on someone his own size. (no rating.)


CODY RHODES VS JUSTIN GABRIEL
The match is a bit of back and forth moves in the corner and such before Cody takes control after a drop down sucker punch, a Rhodes staple move coincidentally. Rhodes starts a beat down on Gabriel with a chin lock and a some kicks. Hornswoggle is still outside the ring, I have a feeling he might get involved. Gabriel mounts a comeback with a reverse DDT variation (I think) and a drop kick before setting up for the 450 Splash but Cody crawls out of the way. Cody Rhodes goes to hit the Alabama slam but Gabriel counters into a roll through pin. He then gets a couple of near falls. Cody counters and hits the Cross Rhodes for the win. Hornswoggle looks upset. ha.
For what it was this match was quite good. I was surprised by the amount of offence Gabriel had, although I was glad he didn't win I feel with a better persona he could actually do okay in WWE as his in-ring work is decent. Overall some good back and forth action with the tease of an upset, but I feel this was just a precursor for a Goldust vs Cody match. (C)
Mark Henry is in the back with the Roulette to spin the wheel for the World heavyweight championship match. He says this is stupid and blames Teddy Long for what happened to AJ last week. Seems Henry might be moving away from the Monster heel gimmick. The wheel is spun and reveals that the match will be a Lumberjack match... which will most likely set up some odd finish to allow Daniel Bryan to retain, but we'll see...


EPICO & PRIMO VS THE USO'S - TORNADO TAG TEAM MATCH
Right off the bat just gonna say Rosa...oooffft. Not sure I really understand this match as Epico and Primo have squashed the Uso's a few times now on the way to the titles so realistically you would expect another decisive win by the champ. But considering these are really the only two tag teams in the main brands in WWE we'll find out soon enough if WWE have anything planned.
The Uso's start of strong with a few double team moves and get an early near fall. However, one of the Uso's is thrown out the ring and Epico and Primo team on the one left in the ring. They get a couple of near falls before the other Uso (Jey I think) comes in and its business as usual for the Uso's as they get the upper hand again. Rosa Mendes gets involved with a distraction and turns the tide again before the Backstabber is hit and Epico and Primo win...again.
This match was a bit pointless. The only reason for it seems to be to make Epico and Primo look strong which serves to real purpose as they have no challengers now that Air Boom is on the back burner due to Evan Bourne being a plonker. The match itself was short and average but really didn't capture my attention that much. Would have liked to have seen at least some story progression but understand that Air Boom's dissolution has set the tag division back a few steps. (D+)


ANOTHER Teddy Long/Aksana skit, one was enough in my opinion. LOL okay the innuendo about slot machines and her pulling and yanking to all the money comes out was funny but how in holy hell do they get this on PGTV!? Sheamus breaks it up to find out what kind of match he will have with Wade Barrett. It's a tables match, this could be good.
To quote: "the following match is a dance off"...hopefully Jim Ross doesn't come out and do a dance again. Nope its the only living Funkasaurus in captivity - Brodus Clay who gets a decent pop from the crowd. There is quite a bit of canned crowd noise I think when he gets down to the ring.
After the Ad break Vickie Guerrero comes down to the ring as Clay's opponent and does quite possibly the worst dance I have EVER seen. Then Brodus does this really (for lack of a better film) jiggly dance. If you watch this keep an eye on Lillian Garcia who looks like she is trying to keep herself from bursting out laughing!
The crowd proclaim Brodus Clay to be the winner before Vickie dances again to prove she is better. Then....
William Regal's music hits. WTF? he comes out and tells people to not laugh at this wench and Vickie starts crying. Then Brodus calls Regal a "funky chicken" and asks him what he has....this is getting realllly weird right now. Regal starts dancing and is actually half decent before Brodus hits a Funk It (running crossbody) before saying "My bad, somebody call his momma".
This segment was very strange and dragged on a bit too long I thought. That being said I believe Brodus needs a real fued and some matches to see if he will survive with this Funk gimmick. If this sets up a feud with Regal I will look past this trippy segment and enjoy the fued it could create. If not, it was really not needed.


WADE BARRETT VS SHEAMUS - TABLE MATCH.
Both these guys could do with the momentum as they go into the Royal Rumble and this could be an intriguing match up. The match starts off as a complete brawl with both guys getting some offence. Sheamus trys to put Barrett through a table with a body slam but Barrett counters and gets outta dodge. He gets Sheamus back in the ring and nearly kicks Sheamus onto a table outside the ring but Sheamus just falls on the apron so Barrett goes to suplex him over the ropes through the table but Sheamus counters and punches Barrett before punching him over the table!
Sheamus try to get another table in the ring but Barrett kicks the table through the ropes to hit Sheamus in the face. Eventually they get the table in the ring and tease Barrett powerslamming Sheamus through the table. Sheamus then set up Barrett on the table before going to the top rope but Barrett managed to get off the table and sets up for a superplex but gets fought off. Sheamus then jump off the top rope and OVER the table which I didn't see coming! Barrett pushes the table before Sheamus hits the Irish Curse Backbreaker.
Sheamus sets up the table in the corner and goes to Irish Cross Barrett through it before...
Jinder Mahal runs to the apron and draws in Sheamus, then Barrett throws Sheamus through the table in the corner. After the match Mahal trys to put Sheamus through a table but gets hit by the Brogue Kick then being put through a table.
This match was going well and I was really into it before the finish. There were some good teases with the table and it felt like this match actually mattered due to these two both vying to win the Royal Rumble. I wasn't too happy with the finish as the Jinder Mahal/ Sheamus feud is very stale and does not draw my interest at all bu overall I enjoyed this match and can understand why a clean finish didn't happen as these two can have a good feud in the future. (C+)


TED DI'BIASE VS HUNICO - FLAG MATCH
I love how they just happened to have a Mexican flag just on the off chance it was a flag match on the Smackdown Roulette. Hunico is also accompanied by his lackey "Kamacho?". Not sure I get the pretense of this feud, which is something to do with Hunico not liking Ted due to not being invited to his Di'biase posse parties or something. Hunico gets close to getting his flag first but Di'biase gets up to push Hunico off the top rope before he himself goes to get his flag. Hunico goes to stop him and gets hit with Di'biase's finisher, Dream Street I think then Di'biase gets his flag and wins.
Drew McIntyre gets fired backstage by Teddy Long for losing his matches but Santino says he wants to prove his win over Drew last week was not luck and says he should "double down" and have another match with him. They spin the wheel and draw a blindfold match.


DREW MCINTYRE VS SANTINO MARRELA
They are going to fight with blindfolds on so I'm really not expecting much. They start off by just punching fresh air for a good while. Santino sets up the cobra and tries to figure out where Drew is to hit him with it. He hits the rope and Drew hears him and then spears him out the ring. Drew bumps into the corner and thinking its Santino punches it. He is now selling an injury to his right arm quite a lot. Santino sets up the Cobra on the ref and while the ref is distracted Drew peeks through his blindfold and goes for a big boot bust misses and falls out the ring. Drew rolls back in the ring and Santino hits the Cobra for the win.
This was another loss of McIntyre and will most likely be storyline fired which I hope goes somewhere. Although there were some funny spots in this match it was a bit stupid and could have been a bit shorter. (D-)
DANIEL BRYAN VS MARK HENRY- WHC TITLE LUMBERJACK MATCH
Another David vs Goliath match which starts off with a nice spot where Henry pushes Bryan to the outside of the apron and Bryan looks at the Lumberjacks and basically says don't hit me with Wade Barrett shouting "or what?" which was a nice touch. I can see the Lumberjacks really giving it to Bryan at some point. He gets pushed outside again and pushes Tyler Rex out his way which is a bit stupid but I guess fits his new cocky persona. He then shouts at them to not hit him and provokes them quite a bit.
Cole and even Booker T bury Bryan a little bit on commentary which is a bit uncalled for. Wade Barrett lets Bryan know the guys outside will "do their job" if he gets thrown out the ring and you can see Bryan panic a little.
Bryan mounts some offence with his kicks with Henry in the corner before hitting him with a roundhouse kick. He goes for the pin cover and Henry kicks out and throw Bryan out the ring. They guys outside are still not attacking him but make it clear he better get back in the ring quick by surrounding him and pointing in the ring. Bryan gets back in the ring cautiously before getting hit with a clothes line from Henry.
Henry then starts to throw Bryan around like a Ragdoll and utterly dominates Henry picks up Bryan and throws him onto the guys outside. When Bryan gets up a bit of a brawl kicks off as some of the guys start laying into Bryan then throwing him back in. Mark Henry then falls to this outside and nearly all the Lumberjacks lay into him. Daniel Bryan starts to kick some of the guys from inside the ring through the ropes which only makes things worse for him...
Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes and Zeke Jackson run into the ring and start beating on Bryan in the corner seeing he seems to have annoyed them. Meanwhile Mark Henry pulls off the usual job of fighting off everybody outside with his strength. Henry then gets back in the ring and fights his way to the corner that Bryan is in. This upsets the Lumberjacks who then ALL get in the ring and beat up Mark Henry. A massive brawl just breaks out now and they promote the royal rumble a bit saying this is what it will be like with all the guys in the ring, nice touch there.
At this point Bryan crawls out the ring and walks up the ramp with his championship and leaves only to be cut off by Teddy Long. Teddy Long t asks him what the meaning of him running off was, Bryan says it is in fact Long who is out of line with all the WHC matches he has made him do and the fact he had 30 guys trying to beat him up in the last match. Teddy Long announces a Big Show vs Mark henry vs Daniel Bryan match in a Steel Cage for the rumble.
This match was a bit mental and didn't really showcase much actual wrestling. Nonetheless it did help progress the storyline with the WHC and Daniel Bryan's heel turn. I felt it worked well with a build to the Royal Rumble. (C)
CONCLUSION
Smackdown is one of my favourite shows right now and almost always delivers good in-ring matches. This episode had some really weird stuff going on at points and the matches were fairly average with a couple of stand outs such as the Sheamus vs Wade Barrett which the ending aside was a very solid match. I also noticed there was no Diva matches which didn't bother me too much. This show served as a good build to Royal Rumble matches and drew me in particularly when Daniel Bryan was involved. Not the best Smackdown in recent months but still a solid show.

Starts off with a video package showing what happened last week between Hardy and Roode and the whole affair with the World heavyweight Championship match. This kind of pisses me off a little just because I can’t be bothered having to watch the screw finish again, but I guess it’s fine for people who missed last weeks title defense.
Sorry About Your Dam luck. James Storm’s music hits and he approaches the ring. Tazz and Mike Tenay remind us that Storm defeated Angle last week with a Last Call Superkick…
Storm tells everyone that he is happy to be the #1 contender for the WHC due to his aforementioned win over Angle. He pays a little bit of tribute to Angle before proclaiming that he is going to whoop Bobby Roode’s ass for the WHC. As he finishes up Hardys music hits…
Hardy says he got screwed out of his WHC matches and that he will get his re-match before anyone else including Storm. Storm point out that Roode also screwed him for the title a few months back.. Roode’s new orchestral hits…
Roode comes out to heat and tells Storm he is the #1 contender for the winner of last weeks WHC bout, but seeing there was in fact no winner (due to the DQ) that he has no claim to a title shot. He states that Jeff Hardy had his opportunities and that he failed and isn’t getting anymore…Stings music hits…
Sting announces a #1 contender match between Hardy and Storm.
This was an okay opening segment. Storm was good on the mic and so was Roode, however I’m not sold on Hardy. Sting came in to set up the main event of the night in the form of the #1 contenders match which is good build but because it’s to babyfaces squaring off part of me starts to wonder if it will be a screw finish by Roode (again…) and lead to perhaps a triple threat WHC match….we’ll find out later…
Angelina Love has a weird backstage segment talking about….um… Eric Young…please don’t let them have a match…

GUNNER VS AJ STYLES
Gunner’s music hits and he comes out accompanied by Ric Flair and Tenay talks about Gunner and how he has been injuring people including RVD lately.
AJ Styles comes down to the ring and the match starts off with Gunner dominating in the beginning. AJ has some offence and Gunner seems to get pissed before taking advice from Flair outside the ring. Goes back in and gets a pin cover. There’s a lot of back and forth….then…
Kazarian and Christopher Daniels approach the ring and Daniels tells Kazarian to: “do it”.
AJ throws Gunner into the corner so for some reason Flair decides to get up onto the apron and distracts the ref and at that moment Kazarian pops up on the apron and clotheslines AJ. Daniels then makes Kazarian watch as Gunner finishes him off with a DDT. Gunner then tries to injure AJ by piledriving him into the exposed concrete floor but AJ manages to get away through the crowd.
The match was short and was average at best. It was VERY predictable that Daniels and Kaz were going to come down and do something. On the plus note this was some good story progression of this feud. I also wonder if they have anything planned for Gunner because he just seems to be in random matches at the moment. Overall this was good as it is most likely building to a PPV match between AJ and Kaz which could be good. (C-)
Magnus cuts a backstage promo about how he is going to show Crimson what he’s all about…which is funny because clearly Crimson is standing right next to him…wow that was poorly executed. Crimson gets pissed and says he’s gonna end Magnus. Crimson needs to improve on the mic badly, it just looks off whenever he talks, you can tell he has his lines memorized exactly.
Bully Ray asks Sting to give him a World Title shot in the backstage. Sting says he will do what he wants and therefore NO. Bully Ray just gets hot and shouts alot about that before Sting basically bitch slaps him and walks off. I love Bully Ray promo’s their just ridiculously funny.

MAGNUS VS CRIMSON
Right, the Magnus vs Crimson match kicks off with Magnus attacking Crimson when he turns his back to pander to the crowd. Magnus dominates the start of the match. Out of nowhere Crimson hits the Red Sky and wins.
Joe gets involved and puts a beating on Crimson…Magnus joins in before Morgan runs in for the save but also gets beat down.
This just straight up pisses me off this match. I mean you are trying to build Joe and Magnus as a credible threat to Morgan and Crimson’s tag belts only to have Crimson squash Magnus? Really? I get that you had Joe and Magnus look strong and get heat at the end but did Magnus really have to get beat in like 1 minute flat? (- no rating)
Eric Young cuts a stupid promo about how he doesn’t fight girls and ODB comes out to and says some filthy inuendo stuff…. These segments are awful and it looks like Angelina Love is going to have a match with EY….not looking forward to that at all.
They show a recap of all the Garrett Bischoff stuff and how he has a mystery trainer and all that…Then they show a video package of Garrett training, wow this is cheesy haha.
ANOTHER video recap of the Knockouts match from Genesis with the DQ. And sets up the cage match between James and Rayne. Gail Kim and Madison Rayne are having a chat in the back about how Kim will be there for Madison.
MICKIE JAMES VS MADISON RAYNE – CAGE MATCH
Mickie James starts the match off with some offence gets a few near falls and submissions. Madison Rayne comes back with before the TV ad. And dominates most on the return. There is quite a lot of crowd canned noise in this match, which is quite funny seeing the crowd in the shots are quite dead (OFC its the impact zone so thats expected.) After a bit of back and forth Mickie wins clean from a spiked DDT.
The best match so far, mainly because it wasn’t a total squash and I was happy to see a clean finish. This could result in a Madison Rayne turn on Gail Kim as she said she would help but didn’t. Overall this was moderately enjoyable. (C)
AA Austin Aries cuts a backstage promo pretty much about how awesome he is. I have to agree, by far one of my favorite guys in TNA right now. Sets up him cutting a promo later…
There is another backstage segment this time with Mickie James celebrating her win with Velvet Sky and Tara. Mickie says shes gunning for Gail Kim now. Mickie sells a leg injury from a previous fight…
Hardy has a backstage segment (another!?) saying he’s dealing with him getting screwed and hes gonna go into the #1 contender match and hope for the best….
A video package is shown detailing the X division match at Genesis and Austin Aries talks about how he is the greatest man that ever lived and he’s one tough SOB. He says he is that good that he might just have to retire because no-one is a challenge.
Aries comes down to the ring…And brags about being the best and that nobody else is in his league. He works the crowd and gets some good heel heat. He says that he may have to look elsewhere for competition…. BOOM motor machine guns music!
Alex Shelley returns! Im marking out by this point! Shelley talks about his injuries and how the MCMG will be back in 2012 and how he will beat Aries. These two have a good back and forth on the mic, best promo of the show so far. Aries discounts Shelley as a threat. Alex Shelley demands a title shot. Aries tells Shelley that if he wants a title shot he need to go into the locker room, find an X division wrestler and beat them. Shelley replies saying he will go one better and let Aries pick his opponent and once he beats them will take Aries X division title.
This was by FAR my favourite segment of the night.
ODB continues with her torrent of abuse towards Angelina Love. Oh wait, Winter attacks ODB and they have a cat fight on the floor before winter whips off her belt and whips ODB. Kinky stuff right there… haha
The moment we have all been waiting for…. -_-
ANGELINA LOVE VS ERIC YOUNG
Eric does all his rubbish of grappling the ref and all that…which IMO is getting stale. I really hope this match is over quickly. AND he grapples the ref again….and then starts doing the ref’s job. Winter comes in and low blows EY, thank god its over.
ODB then comes out and then gets double teamed by Winter and Angelina, now whips are involved EY saves her and ODB kisses him.
These segments are annoying. Some of it is funny but not enough for it to be worth TV time.
James Storm talks backstage saying he will beat Jeff Hardy and that it is his time to be the World Champ.
JAMES STORM VS JEFF HARDY #1 CONTENDER MATCH WHC
The crowd is behind both guys off the bat. The match starts off with a lot grappling, headlocks and armdrags. Its very 50/50 to start off. Storm goes outside the ring and hardy crossbodies out the ring to gain the upper hand. Storm comes back with a slingshot suplex. Storm then keep hardy grounded with a chin lock for a while. Then Hardy hits a whisper in the wind of a near fall and once again gets the upper hand.
James Storm tries to go for the eye of the storm which is countered then hits a suplex variation of some kind. He sets up for the last call superkick which Hardy dodges and counters with a Twist of Fate. Hardy then goes for the senton bomb but Storm gets to the ropes to stop it. Storm then goes for the superplex but is fought off and falls down to the mat then hits Hardy with an enziguiri. He then hits the superplex at the second time trying.
…..Oh wait, what is this. Yup you guessed it another screwy finish. Bully Ray comes into the ring as both men are down after the superplex and is carrying a chain. He hits the ref with a double sledgehammer then proceeds to beat Storm and Hardy with the chain. Another ref comes out but gets punched in the face before he even reaches the ring and Ray continues to the beat down. Then ANOTHER ref comes out and gets nailed.
Sting comes down the ramp with a baseball bat hits Bully Ray a couple of times then chases him out the ring and up the ramp. Then Roode comes into the ring and hits James Storm with the Championship belt then hits Hardy as well.
Roode grabs a mic and says that as the most dominant champion of all time he declares the match a no contest and gets heat by basically being a douche and proclaiming him self to still be the WHC.
Okay, where to begin! The match itself was going quite well before the clusterfuck at the end. I was enjoying the back and forth between Storm and Hardy and actually wanted someone to win for a change. I can see Bully Ray and Sting having some sort of fued now because of all this happening, which leads me to believe that they may just be setting up Sting for a match with Bully Ray to happen at the tapings due to take place in London in 2 weeks. But in all honesty Bully Rays interference in this match was unnecessary. I did however feel it was good to makes Bobby Roode look strong at the end by beating down both challengers and not look like a total pussy. Overall , the match was good but there was waaaaay too much over booking and personally I would have liked it more if Roode was the one who interfered first and basically just beat down Storm and Hardy. Not only would have this made Roode look much stronger but it wouldn’t have been as much of a cluster due to all these people getting involved. They could just ignore the ODB and EY stuff and give Sting and Ray a segment instead of having them involved in the Main event for no real reason. This however was decent build up to a potential Triple threat WHC match at the next PPV. (C-)
CONCLUSION
Impact was fairly average this week, one problem I did have throughout the show was that there were too many backstage promos and not enough actual wrestling. There was some decent build to PPV matches which is good to see but I felt some of the story telling they did could have been done in the ring instead of all backstage promos. Segment of the night was Austin Aries and Alex Shelley, watch that if you can. Adios Amigos.

(Be nice its my first blog ^^)

Moving on, this blog is going to be a list of wrestlers I believe would benefit from moving from WWE to TNA or vice-versa. Would just like to say before we start that I'm aware that many of the switches I am stating are pretty much 99.99% never going to happen, however, there is always fun in speculating!

Here we go:

WWE - TNA

-The Pope D'angelo Dinero.

Recently the Pope has been tremendously underused and booked in TERRIBLE storylines, namely the current feud with Devon and his kids which quite frankly is utterly awful. His fueds have chopped and changed direction countless times so that the casual viewer would have no clue what is going on.

That being said, IMO the Pope is a solid in ring worker and reasonable on the mic, if sometimes a little bit over the top.

If he were to move back to WWE I would like to see him keep certain aspects of his current character, particular the street wise aspect. I believe that with the correct building of his character he could be a good mid-carder in the WWE as a heel perhaps challenging Zack Ryder for the US title or even giving Ted DiBiase someone who can actually provide a real challenge.

-Matt Morgan
Currently one half of the TNA Tag Champs with Crimson after TNA seemed to lose faith in him to push into the main event card. Morgan is a decent worker in the ring particularly for his size, I'm not saying he is the greatest but he does much more work in ring than his giant counterparts in the WWE (Big Show, Khali, Kane, Henry). He is also capable on the mic but could perhaps have a mouthpiece as sometimes he does look a bit uncomfortable in promos. That being said I believe TNA could push this guy much more than they are currently willing to and I believe that instead of babysitting Crimson and being in the worst tag division TNA has had since its conception he could be being build up as a monster heel to challenge a babyface such James Storm. However, I really can't see TNA doing ANYTHING like this.

Thus, if Morgan were to re-debut in WWE as a monster heel (seeing as Brodus Clay is never going to debut =P) I feel he could fill a gap of a monster heel that CAN actually work in ring! I would be interested to see a Sheamus v Morgan fued as this would not only help build Morgan in WWE but would also give something for Sheamus to do other than bury Jinder Mahal every..single..week.

- RVD

Aside from his initial run as TNA World Champ RVD has had a rather uneventful run in TNA and particularly of late has really seemed to not give a toss about his matches. Not great to see from a guy who is getting on a little bit and should be looking to go out with a bang! RVD is a well known figure in WWE and would be welcomed with open arms (by the fans) back into the company.

I believe that RVD should go back to WWE for one last run to put the cherry on the icing of his career. It would be nice to see him have some motivation again as recently he seems to be lacking in this department. If he were to go back I would like to see him in a feud with someone like Dolph Ziggler or Daniel Bryan who would get the best out of RVD and allow him to be the whole F'in show once again.


WWE-TNA


- Alex Riley


Remember the days when this guy was in upper-mid card events at the PPV's challenging the Miz? Considering the Miz put him over, what happened? Yes he was a rather green in the ring but he was moderately over with the fans and could put on a half decent match. Completely burying him on the main shows is a bit drastic. Granted he needs a bit more dimension to his character but he does appear to have the full package. WWE needs to being him back into the main shows and could perhaps put him up against Brodus Clay or something when he debuts in 2099 (j/k. we all know he will NEVER debut lol).

Moving on, if he made the switch to TNA I believe he could do wonders for their Mid-card and would be a good choice to challenge (or just bury) Robbie E for the Television Title which really needs a boost to make it a legitimate title. It would also allow him to hone his in ring and promo work so that if he ever were to return to WWE in the future he would have the skills to make a legitimate claim to the upper-mid card position again in WWE.


-Evan Bourne

I will admit that I am a bit torn on this decision as he is currently doing okay as one half of the WWE tag champs. However that being said, the word on the dirt sheets is that he really is in the bad books with the WWE higher ups, in particular HHH. Also lets be honest the WWE tag division isn't exactly the greatest place to be right now EVEN has the champions seeing there is very little legitimate threat.

The X Division in TNA. That is where Bourne would be awesome. Could you imagine Austin Aries vs Bourne, I would LOVE to see that. Also it would also give someone for Aries to drop the title to who could carry the division while Aries moved up the card.


Conclusion


Of the the ones mentioned the most likely of them to actually happen is the return of RVD to WWE. Which would be nice to see, especially if RVD tweaked his character a bit.

Anyway that's me Done.

POST YOUR THOUGHTS AND CRITIQUES- GET INVOLVED.
