I see they've also got rid of Big Dick Johnson, who was on the writing team as well.

Although i've gone for Cena screwing Orton, i agree with KKlein, i don't think he will actually screw orton but something will happen i.e. him getting taken out by someone and then when he comes too he counts the 3 count for Barratt to win.

[Balloon Sod]

I see they've also got rid of Big Dick Johnson, who was on the writing team as well.

R.I.P, cheap laughs.

Perhaps he could go to TNA? His character, and TNA's reaction to it, sums up TNA for me.

Fat oily guy appears on Raw, starts dancing. TNA respond 2 months later by having a fat oily guy dance on Impact, to take the piss out of the WWE for having gooseberry fool ideas. TNA then decides that their fat oily guy is getting over, so they have him appear in several segments over the next few months, including as a judge, thus making him into a semi-regular character.

TNA really is the magnet for bad wrestling ideas. If anything stupid or silly has happened in the wrestling industry over the last 20 years, in any company, it'll find it's way to TNA.

But on the plus side, Survivor Series has some really good looking matches on it, and the Wade/Orton/Cena storyline has me intrigued.

I agree, i think it does look pretty decent, real shame that i won't have time to watch the ppv next week as i am really busy, so i will just find out the results and watch raw.

Is anyone actually buying this show, though?

Interested in the outcome of the main event, genuinely couldn't give a gooseberry fool about the rest of the show. The final 10 or so minutes will probably be classic Attitude Era style booking in that you'll be glued to the TV as all sort of nonsense occurs. Which is funny, because whenever that happens in TNA - which is practically every show - your eyes will roll into the back of your head in sheer boredom.

Second year running this has had a horrible build, but at least the main angle is vastly better than last year's triple threat. The thrown together 10 man has the potential to be extremely good, but then again the last Elimination match at Bragging Rights was monotonous.

[Jam-Master Jay]

I'm only interested in the RAW main event, and that is only because of the Nexus/Cena storyline plus the possibility of Miz cashing in.

Sheamus/Morrison & Team Mysterio/Team Del Rio should also be entertaining enough.

I'm suprised that Miz cashing in isn't on GRAPL. But anyway, although i would love it if he did as i'm a big fan of his, it would annoy me a bit if it came at Barratt's expense. If Barratt wins the title then i really don't want him to lose it straight away.

Dolph vs Kaval is on the show, which should be interesting. Ticketmaster have been advertising Daniel Bryan vs Ted DiBiase too, so I imagine we'll get that.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Agreed. Barrett will need a decent title-run to help Nexus feel like a legitimate power within the WWE.

There were rumours that when Miz cashes in he'll end up losing, and although I'd hate that to happen (due to Miz being one of the best things in the WWE) it'd give Barrett a massive boost if he was the one to be cashed in on after his match with Orton.

Edit: Ziggler/Kaval & a Daniel Bryan match too? This PPV just became must-see for me.

There's no way that's happening. For Miz to cash in he needs the ref to announce the match right. Maybe if Miz cashed in before the match was over, say at a time when both Barrett and Orton were down with Cena standing above them conflicted, then Cena would have to deal with Miz as well. He cashes in, Barrett breaks the pin on Orton and soon beats Miz to win the title under Triple Threat rules.

Kinda gooseberry fools on The Miz a bit but he can definitely come back from it. Maybe by winning King of the Ring.

I assume you mean it won't happen as Nexus would run down and attack Miz? as Cena wouldn't do anything if it happened after the Barratt V Orton match. In the Attitude era Miz would have just locked Nexus in their locker room so that they couldn't get out but no one seems to do that anymore.

[Skippy]

Nexus are banned from ringside. If Miz cashed in during the match it would be easy to say that the ban is still in place.

Just noticed I've predicted all the heels to win . This will end well.

[KK]

Dolph vs Kaval is on the show, which should be interesting.

Didn't even know about this match, though I haven't watched SmackDown yet. Then again I did read the spoilers, so I more likely just forgot. Obvious pick for match of the night there, then.

Maybe R-Truth will interfere in the title match? He has to be in line for a heel turn soon, because he's been the world's worst friend this past month. Plus his new song hasn't got over whatsoever, though it probably doesn't help that Cole's been shitting all over it.

But Cole should gooseberry fool all over it. R truth is shut and doesn't deserve tv time. And don't get me started.on eve's dancing

She did look hot in that Raw is War top, mind you.

[Mockmaster]

I really can't see them giving Kaval the Intercontinental Title. They've consistently buried him since he came to Smackdown. Though it would create some NXT symmetry with Daniel Bryan being the US champ.
