What about Grisham too, when Christian hit Swagger with the mic he said that "Christian [had] made an Impact on Swagger"?

For the record, I was thinking of the Instant Classic reference.

Otherwise, I did not catch onto the Impact reference.

I'm guessing not many did because I don't think it was actually meant to be a reference. It was more like a statement.

Whatever the case, regardless of what may be the popular perception of it, I think it is clear what Matt Striker meant. For one, Striker is known for doing that kind of stuff. For another, while Impact is more of common enough expression, how often do you hear something the along the lines of Instant Classic when not talking about Christian?

Kinda of like when Matt Hardy told Braden Walker something the effect of "I hear you are quite the Wildcat."

Or when JBL talked about something the effect of CM Punk "...wrestling in some Chicago Independent."

Jim Ross on Christian's Return: I have to admit that I was surprised to see Christian return to the WWE Tuesday night on ECW. Christian returning to the WWE at some point wasn't a big secret in many circles but Christian going to the ECW brand was. Personally, I was hoping that "Captain Charisma" would have joined the Smackdown team. ECW got a nice addition to their roster and because they only do one hour or 6 segments of TV weekly, the ECW show should feature solid, in ring wrestling more weeks than not. I think fans want to see more bell to bell action and ECW seems to provide that most weeks.

Damn good SmackDown this week.

So Jeff is going to move on from his brother attacking him.

Of course, Jeff. We all believe you.

As for the Kurt Angle bit, he won a major title in WWE 5 times (if you exclude his win against Booker T for the WCW title, otherwise yes, it is 6). 4-Time WWE Champ, one World Heavyweight Title and then said WCW title if you're including that (To which I believe the WWE never did for The Rock, kept calling him 7-Time WWE Champion yet he won the WCW title twice). As I don't watch TNA, I couldn't tell you his record there.

The reason they did not count it with The Rock is because they were talking about the WWE title only.

Otherwise, while I am not sure how it all figures with Kurt, you also to have remember that he won both the NWA and TNA titles, along with the IWGP championship, among other things.

Wow I didnt know Kurt won so many championshipsTorrikku

Hey Link, get the ratings for ECW this week? Did Christian's return make any difference?Redders1989

I looked at his obsessedwithwrestling profile and if those facts are true, then TNA/Angle is definately sugar coating the amount of titles he has won. Even if you count that IWGP Title, then I believe the number of World titles Angle has held should be 9. If he is counting gold metals or IC/US/Tag belts, then you would definately get the larger number.

Last night's edition of ECW on Sci-Fi scored a 1.3 cable rating, down from last week's 1.4 rating.
