Watching the video posted by TNA on Youtube it's not a stiff shot to the head. Homicide actually throws the chair and it glances off Rob Terry's head quite lightly it looks.

Watched Raw last night, thought only very average really. Usually it's strong for a while after Mania, but seemed quite stale considering that, hopefully the Draft will shake things up. Be interesting to see what state The Hoff's in next week.

Got Impact to watch later, looking forward to that more in all honesty.

Watch the Pope vs Wolfe match, cracking adaptation of the Codebreaker from Pope!

Well I think this guest host gimmick is really wearing thin now. It was an interesting idea to start with. A way to differentiate Raw and SD and to get the occasional ratings spike depending on who they got. But a lot of the "celebrities" were c-list at best and they were rarely able to help carry the story lines that someone in that role is supposed to be doing.

Totally agree mate. From what I've seen and read it's usually been ex-wrestling stars/personalities who've been any success at it e.g. Dibiase and Ventura.

Hey Lister, don't suppose you've heard anything about a TNA entrance theme CD coming out soon (like the ones WWE do on a regular basis) have you?

Re: The Wrestling Thread : Thu Apr 08, 2010 7:26 pm  

Just finished watching this week's Impact, enjoyable episode overall, and definitely more interesting and varied as an overall entertainment show then Raw from the same night.

Felt gutted for Tara losing her belt though (Even more so that it wasn't her who did a striptease ).

They've released 5 so far over the years the last one was Emergence released on November 12th 2009. And yes it does contain Tara's theme.

anyone seen this chair shot that rob terry took this week?

Lance storm is in a real pisser about it.

Rightly so IMO. From what I can make of it, they used it to get him over as some sort of monster, then never made reference to it again. No replay, nothing.
