Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another edition of O & A.

Lets get at it.

Lets start with the draft in the WWE. Sure seems like Raw got the better end of that deal. Should be interesting to see how the writers incorperate all these main event level superstars into a 2hr show. Really disappointed that the WWE continues to not use Christian in a bigger role, still being punished for his time in TNA.

Edge to Monday nights, I don't know why, but when he's playing the "babyface" I like to watch him, and when he's the "heel" I can't stand him. In other words the man is great at what he does, lets hope he stays healthy.

Jericho, although he's a great performer, and plays the role of the heel perfect, I'd rather just turn the channel when he talks. His voice is just irritating.

Big Show going to Smackdown, well, just my opinion but it has to be hard for the writers with this guy. I mean he's freakin HUGE, so it has to be hard for them to come up with a credible storyline for him. I see Big Show with the gold in no time.

Perhaps now with the Miz no longer a tag champ we can see some U.S. title defenses, thats if the WWE continues aknowledging it as a title, anyone know how long its been since it was defended??? Back when all titles had meaning, if a title wasn't defended in 30 days, the champ was stripped of that title.

Congrats to the Hart Dynasty on winning the tag straps. Now all they gotta do is hope that WWE can find some tag teams for them to wrestle against.

All in all, I guess with the draft and some major players switching brands, should add some excitement to monday nights for the WWE, at least for a month or two.

On to TNA.

I still prefer to watch TNA to WWE at this point. Although it seems Russo/Hogan/Bischoff have decided to go the "Attitude Era" of WWE somewhat.

The opening segment this past monday was hilarious, with RVD saying "that I enjoy some of mother nature's finest" then A.J. declaring "are you high right now", good stuff.

Still haven't heard any reasoning behind the "Somoa Joe abduction" angle, just now Joe's a bada$$ again. Wasn't he always the guy that played that character? Appears now he's after the X-Division Championship.

Rob Terry, "The Freak" might just be me, but the man cannot wrestle, he reminds me of the guys Vince McMahon loves to hire, big musclebound freaks that can't wrestle to save their lives. Guess Hogan has that same thought.

As someone commented on after my last article, The Beatiful People are smokin hot!!! Love that entrance, get your tv time any way necessary I suppose.

I think the Sting/A.J. vs Jarrett/Hardy match ended about 15 seconds too early. How many people wanted to see Hardy do the "Swanton Bomb" on A.J. through that table off the ladder?? In my opinion, it's moves/stunts like those that has made Hardy's career. Man is nuts, but puts on a helluva show for the fans.

Abyss v Ric Flair. I'm sorry, but I got a huge problem with Flair still wrestling, after his "retirement" match at wrestlemania against HBK. I know, I know, supposedly Flair called up ol' HBK and asked his approval, but honestly what you expect HBK to say, "no Ric, it's not ok that you still wrestle". Nobody in the industry would say to another wrestler in that position. I also believe that Ric Flair is the reason HBK was so vocal in saying that he is gonna do everything in his power to never wrestle again. I think it hurt HBK's pride and took some of the meaning of that match away from HBK, knowing that he wasn't Flair's (living Legend) last opponent. So anyways, Abyss v Flair, ring v ring. Seriously folks, did you expect Flair to win that? Why is Hogan the one who gets to decide who gets Flair's ring? Didn't Abyss win the match? Oh well, Should be interesting to see who Hogan gives it to to piss Flair off. Speaking Flair, he still gives one of the Best, if not THE Best promo's ever.

To wrap it up, the last two weeks of TNA have been great tv. It's episodes like the last two that TNA need to produce on a weekly basis, in order to gain viewers/fans.

No Questions again this week, so feel free to post them and i'll be sure to put them in the next edition of O & A.

Til Next Time.................................
