HIGHLIGHT(S):
- Jeff Hardy returns to SmackDown, even after that hit-and-run incident.  Who dunnit?

I really don't get or really care where someof these stories are going. I don't see the point of this JBL/HBK storyline or the who is trying to kill Jeff Hardy this week. When it comes to Jeff I am half wondering if it is real but that is not a credit to the writters.

I also don't understand the whole point of Legacy and Randy Orton. It is like lets create a faction but lets not. However, I think we should have a faction or atleast follow me around. Your in but your out again. Wait your back in again. I assume a lot of this is the makings of a wrestlemania build yet I couldn't careless where it goes. Every time I try to watch these shows they find a way to turn me away.

Now THAT! Was Priceless  :)

Ted Jr. is the ****.

Awesome television match. End of story.

Ok twist in the Legacy plot, wonder when Batista returns will Manu and Snuka join with him to battle.

And so far, this Regal/Punk feud has been pretty weak. Hopefully a no DQ match will help it out a bit.

Be greatful that you even get the pleasure to watch William Regal in action. When Regal was King he probably would cut the broadcast to your cable provider because of those who may not be worthy of watching a match. 

Last night's edition of WWE Monday Night Raw scored a 3.5 cable rating, up from last week's 3.4 rating.

Further proof that Regal = Ratings

And um yeah start having more kick butt main events please.

It sucks that the Regal/Punk feud has been booked by a monkey with a typewriter, I was really looking forward to it as they had at least 2 good TV matchups last year.

Also on Raw, what was up with it being bad ref calls night? The Regal/Punk and Kane/Orton matches had terrible endings!

Whatever the case, I just appreciate they are at least trying to make it seem as if the IC is still important, even if it is not all that great.

Agreed, especially the Kane/Orton match that was so much BS, but the same does go for the Punky/REgal match too.

I liked the Main Event even though Cena was in it it was a really great ending and I can't wait until Mr.McMahon comes back.

Innovator of Extreme?

Don't they mean

Innovator of Violence?

If I had to make a guess, they probably really do mean "Innovator of Extreme." Extreme sounds less graphic than violence.

Extreme is well...MORE EXTREME~!sephy37

Jim Ross on Jack Swagger: My last talent recommendation to the WWE talent relations department is the new ECW Champion Jack Swagger. Swagger wrestled at Oklahoma, my gosh we can't say THAT on TV, and used to eat the occasional meal at the Ross home while a student at OU. Swagger, then known as Jake Hager, was roommates with current Chicago Bear Dusty Dvorchek and the two of them used to hang out at our home. There is no reason Swagger shouldn't be a star if he continues to work hard and doesn't make any foolish or irresponsible mistakes. Educated 6'6"-270 pounders with natural balance, agility, a wrestling background and a bona fide mean streak aren't easy to find.

To bad he looks like a putz, talks like a schmuck and is bested in the inrerestng department by a PBS special on Sea Sponge migration.

Gee I don't know what could of made it drop that low, maybe the fact the The Boogeyman Squashed a Jobber, and Jack Swagger as the new ECW Champion, we should hopefully all know what is going to happen.

Swagger is going to lose to Dreamer at Mania so then Dreamer doesn't retire, but I could be wrong, maybe WWE, oh I'm sorry ECW will keep Swagger as ECW Champion for awhile.

But his wrestling ability is good. You sound like Vince man. BUT CAN HE ACT/ENTERTAIN! WRESTLE? WHO CARES ABOUT WRESTLING! THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT!

This has been the worse Impact ever. It took until 10:18 for an actual match to start. No the Knockout match doesn't count as a match and no Hernandez throwing away a title shot in a stupid way didn't count either.

My god 1 hour and 18 minutes worth of promotions, sara palin, and stupid crap. Two matches in 2 hours. A  tag match and Steiner vs Aj? Pathetic. And where the hell is Beer Money?

And where the hell is Beer Money? Blackbond

People still watch Impact?

I usually just use the DVR for it but since its snowing real bad in Pittsburgh yeah. Two matches the whole night amazing.

Um Jack Swagger is not Lashley. Have you ever even watched this guy? He's an the All American American lol.

And yes Roode isn't the greatest but hey he pays for the Beer and in return James Storm gets to drink and in the end if James Storm gets more of a reason to drink then you're alright in my book.

[QUOTE="Blackbond"] And where the hell is Beer Money? The_Dude14

You know. They really need some women. It must suck drinking with Roode and Jacky all the time. Why not get that announcer chick to drink lol.

I'm suprised Storm and ODB haven't drank it out yet.

I do not care how many years Team 3D has been in the business. I do not care how many Tag-Team Titles they have held. No ****ing way I am even remotely buying the idea of BROTHER RAY, of all people, ALL OF THE SUDDEN, receiving shot at the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP on PAY-PER-VIEW.

**** THAT.

Oh come on now. Brother Ray TNA Heavy Weight Champ :lol: 

So I missed the frist few minutes of iMPACT! why was Hernandez fighting Sting, I mean I know now why but it still dosen't make alot of sence, like TNA makes any-sence anyway. :Pwwe4ever_in05

They just wanted to eliminate the whole point of feast or fire. From the stupidity of firing the same guy twice, to having Hernandez use it and lose it in minutes, to having Lethal Consequences win the belts with it only to lose them in next week.

That was an odd ending to Smackdown??????wwe4ever_in05

Video

And I have to agree. In all honesty, I have NEVER been of these melodramatic injury skits, or whatever you want to call them. As in, if you want to KILL my suspension of disbelief, that is one of the fastest ways to do it.

that ending = fail then again so does this storyline. at least its new to my knowledge though

amd yay at least her last match was good match of the night

and tna still refused to put on a match eh? what happened tna was still wrrestling this summer not sure what happened to them.

WWE's storyline on Jeff Hardy is that he went into shock last night after suffering first and second degree burns on Smackdown.
