I'm looking forward to the Monday Night War coming up. Should bring the best programming out on both sides that night like it use to.

Agree that RAW should be more worth watching. McMahon has the deeper pockets and could bring in all kinds of surprises. Hogan is Hogan, but I'd say Bret Hart's return could have a lot more interest.

**Ian** · 12-30-09, 01:00 AM

Didn't Brett Hart have a stroke?

**Pabinator** · 12-30-09, 03:55 PM

Thanks for the info, I'll make sure i tivo it. Raw has been actually pretty entertaining lately.

Does anyone know what time & channel hogan will be on?

Spike TV at 8pm ET

Might be the biggest Monday ever in the business.

**shady610** · 12-30-09, 04:12 PM

i think tna is 3 hours and not sure if raw is or not that monday

**GiveMeaBJ** · 12-30-09, 04:16 PM

TNA has the better product now. Have a feeling if TNA goes Mondays WWE will step up their product but until then TNA is the only product worth watching.

I miss ECW.

Yeah, the real ECW was something back then. I thought Paul E. was a good booker - tried lots out that no one else had the guts to.

**GiveMeaBJ** · 12-30-09, 04:25 PM

ECW was great because of the way they promoted their product. It wasn't about the show or entertainment aspect, it was we have these guys nobody wants and they have something to prove and are going to go out there and give it their all everytime out. Every match was like a main event, spots were ridiculous, they always pushed the envelope. Name 1 company that could have a power outage and put a spotlight on a stage and have one of the females strip until they could get the power on.

Every wrestler in that product cared understood the balance between being "hardcore" and good wrestling.

All so true. Quite a few other smaller wrestling groups failed with a lot more to work with than ECW had.

**shady610** · 01-01-10, 11:51 AM

ECW was fun, but it ran its course. WWE is kinda slipping, but im a lifer .Im just starting to pay more attention to ROH.

As for my predictions this monday, I definalty feel that raw will step it up and do something big with hart. It will also be interesting to see what Orton does since he is there go to guy when they need something to stand out on the show.

Tna will probably try to hard to work the nostalgia role. hogan will probably bring some of his buddies and try to get older fans to look at the old timers. And i dont think it will work. Tna has a lot of young stars and they wont promote them properly imo.

And the most interestling thing is, John cena wont be on raw. He is doing a coin toss for the orange bowl, and cant make the show. it kinda shocks me tha vince let him do this and miss this show

**RobbReport** · 01-01-10, 12:24 PM

they still show ecw on scifi

**GiveMeaBJ** · 01-01-10, 12:56 PM

Then you have never seen ECW if you think they are the same in anything but name.

**RobbReport** · 01-01-10, 06:23 PM

i have, but i dont care either way.

**Kav** · 01-01-10, 06:52 PM

after not watching wrestling for 2 years due to the shitty quality WWE has been putting out, same with TNA. i cant wait for monday to come, bret hart is my favourite wrestler of all time and him returning to WWE is HUUUUUUUUUGE. especialyl considering shawn michaels and vince seems to be tied into the storyline, this is gonna be unreal. huge ratings coming on monday for WWE. I just hope he does the sharpshooter one more time, that would make it all worth it.

**Pabinator** · 01-06-10, 01:47 PM

So looks like Bret Hart will be back for more right?

& do you guys really think TNA is better than WWE? I just dont see how myself, WWE is way more entertaining & isnt that what we watch for?

Dont get me wrong, I havent really watched much TNA because it just sucks to me, but it was nice to see Scott Hall back, who I think is great to watch. Besides that, I wasnt as fired up as I use to be to see the Hulkster

**GiveMeaBJ** · 01-06-10, 02:35 PM

First night I watched a full wrestling show since about when Austin left. I usually flip on just to see whats going but never watch.

How did WWE manage to blow Bret Harts return? I mean honestly making up with Michaels and Vince getting over on him again? Vince must have paid a ton of money to make this happen and this was more for his ego then the fans. You know this was revenge for getting punched in the face after the screwjob. Terrible show by WWE. They put up the same stale matches. Honestly, who wants to see Sheamus wrestle anyone? Orton vs Kingtston? Terrible. WWE needs to end this brand extension. They did it when they ended WCW because they had so much talent, now they don't. Go back to one company and you can have fresh fueds all the time etc.

TNA did very well in my book. They pulled out all the stops and if I watch another wrestling show in my life it will be TNA.

**shady610** · 01-06-10, 02:59 PM

tna put on a horrible show. just showing old wrestlers that nobody cares for doesnt mean they made the right move

**GiveMeaBJ** · 01-06-10, 03:14 PM

I would much rather watch the old guys with the personality then Sheamus, Cena, etc.

TNA seems to be moving in the right direction. AJ Styles still the best is the buisness. X division is nuts. Storylines are much better right now.

**Pabinator** · 01-06-10, 03:54 PM

Maybe id rather watch TNA over Smackdown (Maybe) but no way id rather watch those old guys over RAW. Guest host idea is great and it keeps me happy. (when the guest hosts are good)

As far as the actual wrestling, they both suck to me

**Slim** · 01-18-10, 08:17 PM

No TNA tonight?

**clarkd32** · 01-18-10, 08:32 PM

i think TNA on Monday night was a test to see how the ratings would do vs RAW. l think I heard they did pretty good and have another live show planned... but that is just what someone told me.

**Pabinator** · 01-19-10, 12:58 PM

I might actually wanna watch the royal rumble

**Robber** · 01-19-10, 02:23 PM

there's too much real sports going on though

a lot of college basketball nba and nhl and then you have like 40 tennis going on too

**Slim** · 01-19-10, 05:36 PM

I used to like the Repo Man and Papa Shango back in the day. They must be dead by now.
