Dixie Carter lays down the law on TNA Impact

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:49:47 -0500

I found the opening segment of Thursday night’s episode of TNA Impact to be one of the most compelling things I’ve seen on a wrestling program in a while. In footage recorded in an empty Impact Zone before the tapings began, TNA president Dixie Carter addressed the talent, who were all dressed in street clothes and were out of character. Her message was simple: You’re either with me or you’re against me.

Quick hits on WWE Superstars

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:09:35 -0500

• A match between two solid veterans who haven’t been in the ring against each other very often (at least not in recent years) highlighted Thursday’s episode of WWE Superstars, as Chris Jericho defeated Finlay in a hard-hitting, entertaining main event. It’s funny how Jericho never loses now that he is going to be in one of the main events at the Survivor Series pay-per-view on Nov. 22, but before that he was jobbing to JTG, Kofi Kingston, Christian and Rey Mysterio.

Quick hits on ECW

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:00:10 -0500

• I’m really enjoying the ECW title program between Christian and William Regal. It’s different than a lot of title programs because other challengers are in the mix, and just when you think Christian is done with Regal, he’s not. The verbal interaction between Christian, Regal and Tiffany on Tuesday’s show was good.

It’s vintage Ozzy on Raw

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:10:21 -0500

As a matter of full disclosure and before you read any further, I confess to being a big Ozzy Osbourne fan. I still have my ticket stub from the first time I saw Ozzy in concert in 1982 at The Baltimore Civic Center (and the most recent time I saw him live last year at Verizon Center in Washington). So while Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s stint as guest hosts on Raw Monday admittedly wasn’t great, I always find Ozzy entertaining, and being both an Ozzy fan and a wrestling fan, I thought it was cool to see the two entities cross paths.
