Here's one of my favourite wrestlers of the last decade who TNA has totally misused. ROH and Japan however have done much better by him.

Man Joe was one of my favorites when he first came to TNA. It was the first I've ever seen of him. Since he lost to Angle it's been all down hill for him.

I made a big ole' goof earlier. Alberto Del Rio is Mil Mascaras's nephew, not Sin Cara. I really would like to see Joe in WWE but I'm not sure they'd use him right either.

I remember reading that while he was in ROH and just coming into TNA, WWE attempted getting Joe. He'd done b-level WWE shows like Heat and Jakked.

But they needed him to tone up and alter his ring style, and he refused.

I have given up on TNA and might be willing to give it another shot once/if Hogan and Bischoff no longer have total control. However, I really like this theme from when Jeff Hardy turned heel.

Joe was probably right to refuse that given it would have made him look like all the rest when right now he has a unique look and style. TNA actually used Joe very well up until Angle came in the promotion. And then it was like TNA turned into WWE castoff central from thereafter. A.J. Styles seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle over there as well and they also misused Christopher Daniels.

So, it's official.  The WWE Network that Vince McMahon has wanted for a couple years now is confirmed.  Interesting.

A little 50s style old-school grappling.

I own the cd still.  Little known fact: it was produced, in part, by Simon Cowell.  Yes, the dude from American Idol.  It features this ditty that I love:

Edge and Christian are my all time favorite tag team.  And that says a lot, considering my huge fandom for ECW and the Dudley Boyz.  I feel the WWE NEEDS another tag division.  I remember being enthralled in the '99-'03 or so era when they had teams like E&C, Hardys, Dudleys, Too Cool, Al Snow and Blackman, APA, Billy and Chuck, the New Age Outlaws, Mean Street Posse, Headbangers, etc.

Honestly late 1980s WWF Tag wrestling was awesome too...you had Demolition, the Hart Foundation, the Rougeau Brothers, the Killer Bees, the British Bulldogs, the Bolsheviks, the Bushwhackers, the Young Stallions, the Powers of Pain, the Brain Busters, the Rockers, the Colossal Connection, the Twin Towers and so many more.

I like Miz and Truth as a tag team but they still seem like singles grapplers to me as does Air Boom. True tag teams dress and act alike and stay together for years and are mainly interested only in tag team gold..kind of like the underused Usos. Really sucks they released D.H. Smith as I`d like to have see the Hart Dynasty reform.

boy, that ending to the main event tonight was a cluster that left me totally confused
