Umaga doesn't need Lashley's help to look pathetic dude, the whole Umaga gimmik is a joke! It's so incredibly stupid it's unreal! As for Lashley or as I like to refer to him as "Black" Lesner, yeah, I don't like the guy either, and I doubt he'll survive Backlash. He has the intensity like Lesner did, but what made Lesner so good, Lashley doesn't have. And he doesn't have the star power or fanbase to survive a McMahon onslaught like DX did, so I feel this might be the final nail in the coffin for ECW, cause there's no better way to kill your third brand, than by making Vince to Shane the ECW Champ. Then they might as well make the ECW title the Hardcore title, and have the champs defend it every time the turn around to further degrade the belt.

In the eyes of smarts like us Umaga always looks pathetic, but for the marks and fans in general, he was the unstoppable force who beat Ric Flair, Triple H, John Cena and Shawn Micheals. Now he's losing handicap matches to one sole man.

I'm fully aware Umaga isn't "talented" in the wrestling sense, but this is professional wrestling, or "sports entertainment". Shelton Benjamin is a fantastic wrestler and athlete, but he's constantly jobbing because he just doesn't get over with the fans no matter if he's a face or heel. Umaga's gimmick has easily allowed him to get over as a "monster heel" type of character, same for Khali pretty much. At least Umaga gets a crowd reaction that's strong, Lashley gets dead air or a mixed reaction, which sucks if you're supposed to be a babyface. Jobbing a character like Umaga who HAS gotten over with the crowd to Lashley, who is faltering with the crowd now just isn't very bright.

I still say Edge wins, if anyone that isn't Cena is going to be the champion. He might be injured, but it's not a severe injury and since they put him in this match, they may very well be expecting him to be healed by then.

Anyone catch RAW last night? What a joke. Have the ECW Champ close the show once, shame on creative, have him close the show twice.. shame on creative. I know they're trying to elevate the thought of the interpromotional brand pay-per-views, but you don't see Taker coming over to ECW and ripping apart Matt Striker now and then.

i wouldn't be surprised if that did happen

Taker could easily destroy the entire ECW Roster in one outing!

Some little tidbits of info I found online:

** In the 2008 version of the Smackdown vs. Raw videogame, the plan is to have “ECW Invasion” written over the logo in purple lettering on the box.

** Ken Kennedy actually named his dog Austin, after his favorite wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin.

I recently bought Wrestlemania 21 (x-box) and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to unlock the prestige levels. I realy just want the new moves, but I am unsure as to how I get the rising star prestige and such. Is it just a matter of beating the career mode on a specific difficulty setting, or is it an online option?

Bit of an ECW spoiler for those who never watched it already:

Turning Punk heel IMO is a horrible decision, but oh well...

I'd like to see creative get out of this one, har.

its just a stunt, he'll eventually turn his back on the new breed, if noone could tell the fake expression on his face already

It is hard to tell his fake plot line expression from his actualy fake expression, if you know what I mean. Acting has never been the strong point of wrestlers.

Heel turns into quick babyface turns dont happen in WWE. Only Russo does crap like that.

i'm going to pretend that last raw's episode didn't happen becuase it sucked

i personally do not like lashley, even though he's good and all, i hate when smackdown or ecw interferes with raw, it wastes good raw time with that crap.

mick foley is getting on my nerves for some reason, let me see what happens on raw this week to figure out

and if the rock says he's gonna return, when? my friend is bugging the crap out of me because she is a huge rock fan and she hasn't been watching raw lately snce he left... hmm... real bugger.

but if anything, i want shawn and edge to beat the holy crap out of cena. i'm getting tired of that fag and he's bothering me so much by raising that retrarded belt up in the air around my two favorites' faces. if i were them, i would punch him... look him straight in the eye while standing over him and spit in his ugly face and telling him don't get in my face again... yeah... i really can't stand cena at all

and zent or whatever your name is... congrats that your kennedy guy won... the night before wrestlemania, i had a hinch that edge wouldn't win because my other friend, jackie, told me something interesting for backlash. yeah... so there... i hope your happy!

And WCW, and look where they all are!!

I REALLY dont mean to offend you, brother, really. I swear to God I dont. But I just cant hold it in anymore.

What the fuck are you talking about? Is your friend like, magical and has the ability to predict the future or something? Well, clearly she doesn't since her guesses for Wrestlemania turned out to be all wrong, but what's with your blind faith in her guesses? That's really retarded.

No offense.

lol does his friend work at wwe? anyway i liked it when cm punk turned. i am a big punk fan. I liked how wwe is taking punk to be heel, and then eventually good again, like what rock did. I think this is a step forward for punk. Also in ROH he was very good when he was heel, for example his feud with like Raven a few years ago.

That's what I'm talking about. Gail has wanted to do a cage match for some time, too. OH, and i'm still compiling material for my gail highlight reel. Has she done anything on impact since destination x? I've been going to school, so i'm pretty much a hermit now, lol, have no clue what going on. Any ddt's or anything i should be aware of? Thanks, peace dudes.

Lethal Lockdown Match
- Team Cage (NWA World Champion Christian Cage, AJ Styles, Scott Steiner, Abyss & Tomko) vs. Team Angle (Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Rhino, Sting & Jeff)
I think it's going to be someone from team angle

Electric Steel Cage - NWA World Tag Team Championships
- LAX (c's) vs. Team 3D.
i want LAX to win but i have a felling that team 3D is

Xscape Match - X Division Championship
- Chris Sabin (c) vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Jay Lethal vs. Alex Shelley vs. Shark Boy.
I say Jay Lethal

Blindfold Match
- Chris Harris vs. James Storm.
Chris Harris is going to win

- Jerry Lynn vs. Christopher Daniels.
i want Daniels to win

- Petey Williams vs. Robert Roode.
W-Petey

- Gail Kim vs. Jackie Moore.
W-Gail Kim

Special Guest Referee: Mr. Bob Backlund
- Austin Starr vs. Senshi.
W-Senshi

- Christy Hemme's mystery team vs. Voodoo Kin Mafia
W-VKM

Lethal Lockdown Match
Team Cage (NWA World Champion Christian Cage, AJ Styles, Scott Steiner, Abyss & Tomko) vs. Team Angle (Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Rhino, Sting & Jeff)
-> Team Angle has to win, since Angle lost to Christian and the winner gets a world title shot at him. I predict Jeff Jarret wins it, but Angle might be the one to do it too.

Electric Steel Cage - NWA World Tag Team Championships
- LAX (c's) vs. Team 3D.
-> If Team 3D doesn't win, it doesn't make sense. All four guys could be off the show as far as I care, though.

Xscape Match - X Division Championship
- Chris Sabin (c) vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Jay Lethal vs. Alex Shelley vs. Shark Boy.
I think Sabin is rating, but putting the title on Lethal would be nice for his momentum. I wish they'd push Shelley past the X Division and get him in the heavyweight title picture.

Blindfold Match
- Chris Harris vs. James Storm.
Harris should win as the babyface, but I wouldnt be surprised if Storm wins. I like Storm better anyway, but I think both have absolutely no star power, no momentum, and nothing to pay attention to.

- Jerry Lynn vs. Christopher Daniels.
Daniels should probably win to keep his momentum hot.

- Petey Williams vs. Robert Roode.
I so dont care and I dont even know what this feud is about.

- Gail Kim vs. Jackie Moore.
Hoping for Gail Kim to get the win! She'll always be my gal.

Special Guest Referee: Mr. Bob Backlund
- Austin Starr vs. Senshi.
Senshi wins, Aries breaks Backlund and sets up their match.

- Christy Hemme's mystery team vs. Voodoo Kin Mafia
Oh Jesus Christ who gives a flying fuck.

No nothing really note worthy, of course I don't care really. But that's me

LOL! So true, so true!

no she's real, its just that she's not a geek and love mortal kombat. and none taken. it seems that i've been making no sense these past few times i posted something. i just had a breakdown couple days ago, and to recover, i just talk about random crap. so all you people who have no idea what the heck i said on that last comment, just ignore it. just completely wipe it away from history... and not to mention that she's a shelton benjamin fan... so if that's something yeah... a carliton banks look-a-like fan.

...what?

Amen. I like TNA cause its the last shred of WCW i have left, but lets face it, No NWO or DX, no Ratings. And VKM is a poor substitute.
