If they stick with the storyline (long shot, I know), he'll stay in Mexico for a while and some AAA wrestlers will come to TNA.

Zorro would be the most likely, since he has been linked to TNA for a while and was the person who lost to Jarrett. If we get lucky, though, perhaps the likes of Jack Evans will also come along.
 
So wait, Jeff Hardy known drug user gets to go out for a PPV main event drugged out of his mind but Matt gets suspended for being late to a taping? Great IMPACT on the locker room moral there.
 
Yeah inconstancy with their discipline policy but at least they finally got around to doing something about Matt. Both Hardy's need to retire from the business and concentrate on getting themselves healthy before they end up killing themselves. I've never really been a Hardy Boy fan and the way these two have carried themselves over the last five or six years hasn't really endeared themselves to the fandom.


Just a small personal observation/wish regarding Matt Morgan. First let me clarify that I'm not a Matt Morgan fan so this is where some of these thoughts are stemming from. I think Impact Wrestling should repackage him as a HHH type. I'm not talking about ripping off Trips gimmick or character but repackage him to be this unstoppable beast. I like his size and strength and he has decent mic skills occasionally. I think he deserves a true TNA World Title push in this scope. I don't think his potential has been fully realized by either company. I'd work with him and develop a new character and push him as a face. Kind of the opposite of the Ken Anderson character. I know people will disagree with me, that's fine. Anyone have any thoughts?

I like Matt Morgan. At least, I like what I've seen so far.

If Matt/Jeff can seriously get their lives in order and want come back to the business, contribute something, then by all means. It's not my place to say they don't deserve to be involved in wrestling after everything they've given. However, as a fan, I do feel like I have a right to be annoyed that they're given all these chances and continuously screw them up with their own dumbass decisions. Right now they are a serious deterrent to whatever company they're involved with, and they should indeed stay away until such time as that can (if it can) change.

I don't get how Matt Hardy can be so..well "Matt Hardy" (theres pretty much no other way to describe his behaviour and personality)

He's in a comfortable financial position, is well known and has stayed resonably injury free. As far as I know he's never had a substance problem and it would appear that he doesn't take steroids. Its just boggling how one man with a good reputation can quickly turn into a fame hungry and bizarre person.

I think Jeff is responsible for Matt's downfall.

During their stay in WWE Matt always was responsible for keeping Jeff in check (make sure he is at the arena on time, and is sober, etc.) and if some news over the years are to be believed he even was "punished" for Jeff's escapades occasionally because he wasn't able to control him.

So I guess at some point he just was sick of having to be the babysitter for his brother while his career was stalling and just let himself go.
 
I don't see where all this hate is coming from concerning jeff/matt hardy sure they got prob's every does. I do agree they both need to take a long break and get strightened out mentally and physically. as for matt morgan I like him he used horrible in the wwe and hardlly used in tna he has great potential to be a great champion. he has size and strength. and he was great last night with crimson aginst beer money.


all so loved the fact that tna or impact wrestling showed some of the house shows.

^ You would actually check out a hunting show just because Shawn Michaels is in it?

Why not? The only reason I watched Fast Five was because Dwayne Johnson was in it. I also admit to checking out a few minutes of Dancing with the Stars to see Chris Jericho. I watched one of his routines and decided that was enough DwtS for me.
 
I'll watch a show or movie that has a superstar in it only if I think the show or movie is interesting or potentially good. I won't see something they're in just for the sake of being in it.

There's not really a comparison there. Presumably they only noticed Jeff's issue late, possibly as he made his way to the ring (it took about 40 seconds for him to get out there; there's some suggestion he couldn't walk up stairs backstage, which is what tipped them off). Matt's issue was much more obvious, and was not a one-off incident.

They can both get stuffed, frankly. I can't stand the sort of person who feels the need to filter everything through their online persona, even at the expense of real life. Matt's reaction to the suspension is nothing short of petulant. At least Jeff has shut up lately.
 
@timothy....Jeff and Matt bring it on themselves for the way they conduct themselves. Unprofessional conduct is not going to endear yourself to most fans. I think the brothers are a great example of allowing success and the life style get to their heads. It's really sad and pathetic.
 
smackdown tonight starting off pretty good christian vs kane #1 contender match?
or is it just an oppertunity match for christian for one more match aginst randy orton?
 
PW Torch stated that there will be fallout from the Christian/Orton feud on Smackdown.


WWE has officially released Chavo Guerrero which surprises me a bit, despite the fact that they hadn't done any significant with Chavo in years really. Wonder if he'll retire or sign with Impact Wrestling? I doubt they could use him any more effectively.

It's a shame WWE let go of Chavo. He always struck me as someone who could be utilized any number of ways. I certainly think he deserved more than a five-thousand-year (so it seemed) feud with Hornswaggle.
 
I dunno, I personally always found Chavo lacking in chemistry. He had good in ring work and could work a mic occasionally but he seemed that he was always used in comedy bits. Nothing was really done with him. Of course it didn't help always been in Eddie's shadow.
 
I will miss Kerwin White. As with most small guys WWE has no idea how to book them or use them. Mostly they are kept around for being squashed and comedy with the larger wrestlers...sorry entertainers. I agree with you Admiral Chavo was always kind of dull even when he lied cheated and stole with Eddie. I heard there was big trouble back stage with him after his match with Sin Cara and not making him look good. Although who in the WWE could. Seems Triple HHH's first pick for the big leagues is not doing so well.
 
sin cara is doing fantastic. did'nt you watch smackdown friday. I would still love to see a match between him and rey mysterio.
 
Eh...Sin Cara has been hit or miss so far. I'd have done what timothy wants and immediately start a feud with Rey. Sin Cara has had some botches since he's been here. Not good at all.


New Botchamania is up. 179.

http://botchamania.com/botchamania-179/

Scott Steiner is a punk ass and my new favorite bit is the CZW lever!!! Brilliant idea heh.


Something potentially exciting coming out in October I think is a Shawn Michaels/Bret Hart DVD where they have an exclusive sit down with Jim Ross.

http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_51037.shtml

I will definitely be picking that up.

I think he was a very solid mid-carder. I wouldn't call him WWE champion material, but he was a good in-ring worker and was fine on the mic. He was also a good tag-team wrestler (which I still think is something that can and should be utilized). He was certainly better than the comedy bits he did.

I'd like to see him in ROH, personally.

He's claiming now that he actually asked for his release. If that's true, then more power to him for wanting to go back out there and find something that's more appealing to him, although I have a feeling that if he did ask for his release that he probably could have been with WWE until the end of his career and then found work as a road agent or some such thing.

That Shawn Michaels/Bret DVD is going to rock. I'll definitely be picking up a copy, too.
