I like RVD and think he is a great wrestler but he is not a draw. I like TNA but anymore it's just WWE, WCW and ECW guys that are looking for one last pay day. I think the show has actually gotten worse. WWE shows have been getting better but would hope so with Wrestlemania coming up.

Updates On Trish Stratus, Candice, Molly & More Former Divas

– Former WWE Women’s Champion Trish Stratus filmed a segment last year entitled “How Tough Are These Sports?” where she put her toughness to the test when she tried aerial ski jumping while being coached by professional freestyle skier Warren Shouldice. The segment aired during CTV’s recent broadcast of the Winter Olympics.

– Former WWE Women’s Champion Candice Michelle has posted a blog on her official website updating fans on her pregnancy.

“Pregnancy is going really well, approximately 10 weeks to go, give or take, and I am in the stage where I am getting excited and really anxious to meet her! Her nursery is almost done and preparing for our home birth. I just try and imagine what shell look like…i cant wait,” she wrote. “I’m working on scheduling the photoshoot towards the end of March. We waited a bit longer til my belly was bigger, I think it is ready!”

– Former WWE Divas Jazz, Dawn Marie and Molly Holly were honored for their contributions to women’s wrestling over the years at Women Superstars Uncensored’s Third Anniversary Show this past Saturday at the Ace Arena in New Jersey as they were inducted into the company’s Hall of Fame.

WWE Hall of Famer Reportedly Arrested, Lilian Singing At MSG

– While this has not been confirmed, www.f4wonline.com is reporting that Iron Sheik (real name Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri) was arrested last week after boarding a flight with AirTran.

Apparently, the WWE Hall of Famer got belligerent on his flight and personnel discovered alcohol in his bag. Sheik was in Las Vegas “for a bong connection,” which is where the incident supposedly took place.

– For the second consecutive year, former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia will be performing at the Big East Championship Tournament, more specifically, the championship game. The game is being held this Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

– Tommy Dreamer is now accepting personal appearance and wrestling bookings through Bill Behrens at www.SBIBookings.com. The former ECW star flies out of LaGuardia Airport in New York City.

I know my dose of reality is all too much for him to take, but you'd think he'd post some relevant news at least.

The final numbers are in for the Monday Night War, week one (not counting January 4th, of course).

WWE RAW scored a 3.4 cable rating, down from last week's number.

The disappointing news was the number for TNA Impact, which came in at an 0.98, rounded up to a 1.0. That was for a live show with Rob Van Dam's debut, Jeff Hardy's return, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair's in-ring debuts, etc. It will be interesting to see how next week's taped Impact will draw without all the surprises, returns, etc.

Next week's returning superstar? Spike Dudley! haha come on now!

You get the feeling that TNA are looking to do a "great" Hogan heelturn that worked for WCW...but you'd be hard pushed to find many people that give a shit.

[Borman]

Its wrestlemania season, along with other competion, it was to be expected. Spike would be stupid to not have seen it coming

[Stu]

That's what i don't understand though...if they did, they wouldn't have gone to Monday nights in the run-up to Wrestlemania if they'd have thought twice.

[Borman]

It can't hurt to get the production team some experience leading up to the time after Wrestlemania, Id imagine we'll see another big push in a month or two to attempt to increase viewership, but that's just me

[Stu]

What makes me laugh, is that people will continue to call it a "war" for a long time to come yet.

Slaughter is the word that springs to mind.

SLOBERKNOCKER!

[Stars1356]

TNA really needs to build the younger talent and stop pushing Flair and Hogan. Yea we love those guys but there time has come and gone more than ten years ago. Actually I don't thing that AJ or Abyss need the two of them to get over and let them go at it.

[Stu]

SLOBERKNOCKER!

haha! WWE are quite literally gonna stomp a mudhole...

Pardon me for going off-topic Stu, but has it ever occured to you that I was born with an intellectual disability (Asperger Syndrome)?

[Stu]

I hadn't been aware that aspergers prevented you from posting something remotely interesting on the internet. I guess you really do learn something new every day!

[Shadow Stalker]

^ That crack me up, despite the fact that you're being sarcastic. But I believe we should get back on topic now.

[On Topic]: -

I've read that RVD's debut in TNA didn't get an entirely positive reaction from the other people in TNA. Look it up if anybody's interested.

[REmaster]

Hmm...RVD huh? I might tune in for a few seconds to see what he looks like these days. By the way, I don't follow the sport much anymore but just for the heck of it who is everyone's top ten wrestlers?

1. Shawn Michaels
2. Steve Austin
3. The Rock
4. Mick Foley
5. Kane (classic version)
6. RVD
7. Sting (classic version before the crow rip-off)
8. Ahmed Johnson
9. Rowdy Roddy Piper
10. And my favorite, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat

7. Owen Hart (for real; growing up, my brother and I had a sibling rivalry thing going and he liked Bret. I actually met Owen and got an autograph and picture taken, insane news when he died. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJq5IsmRatU)
6. The Undertaker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdoXHiLBO68)

1. Eh, this list is arbitrary and there's no best to worst preference, but I'll just leave this for the Flairs and the Funks and the Andersons and the Rhodes...ses. Never old enough to catch up with the "legends" so I'll just put over the people I grew up with and give credit where its due.
