NOW I'M MAD, IN MY OPINION: MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES,

A few nights ago, Dec 21, The Grizzlies lost a game the Nets. During the game Coach Lionel Hollins upset how the game was going turned around & swore at some fans. At first it was thought that the fans were drunk & acting out of line. It has since been revealed to the fan were not drunk, were not cussing or acting out of line & were 17. Later that night Coach Hollins had a incident with a member of the Memphis media. This game seems to have revealed some of the problems with the Grizzlies team & organization. During this post, I will discuss my thoughts about what the Grizzlies should do.

 Organization
 The main problem with the Grizzlies is ownership. Micheal Heisley can't run this team. He make the decision but what he decides many time is wrong. (Thabeet)  Heisley picked him, & now Chris Wallace the GM has the defend it. Heisley either is really cheap letting players go to get cap space (Warrick & Brewer). Or he overpays (Gay & Conley). He tried to sell the team for over 300 million, no takers. And after Jerry West left he now makes the decisions. He needs to sell the team. However, chances are he probably won't. If he doesn't he needs to let someone else run the team.Chris Wallace is the team's GM. If Heisley thinks Wallace can run the team let him run it. If not hire someone else to run it. Wallace is a very nice guy but if he can't run the team get someone else. Finally it is time to get a new coach. Not just because of the incidents on Tuesday,but because he has help cause some of the problems. He has changed the offence which has cause resentment because he is favoring Gay & Conley. He is also a hothead, who lashes out at members of the media, even media members, not asking questions. He is losing the team & now he is getting into it with season ticket holder children. Its time to go!

TEAM
 Many people think the Grizzlies are stuck with Gay & Conley, due to there contracts. I disagree with this. Randolph, Marc, & Mayo are the best players. They also are not overpaid. It will be hard, but it is better for the Grizzlies to trade Gay ,Conley while also moving Thabeet & Carrol even though they won't get much. The Suns, Nets, Knicks & Nuggets are looking to make trades. There are teams like the Raptors, Twolves, & Bobcats. The Grizzlies won't get what they want but they should get something. Before last year, the Grizzlies made deals for cap space & cap flexibility. The Grizzlies might need to make those kind of trade again. The deal that made Marc Gasol a Grizzly & Pau a Laker, also made Kwane Brown a Grizzlies. Fill roster sports with sign cheap players like Jamaal Tinsley who played well sometime for them last year. Make ZBO, Marc, & OJ the "core" for now anyway, in my opinion.

THE LAMMY'S AWARD, (IN MY OPINION)


This list covers the worst this year in TNA & WWE, with one mention of Lucha Libre USA. This list is my opinion that's all. If you have a problem with it please comment.(you would be the first)
NOW THE AWARDS!!!!!

Worst Wrestler (Male):  Eric Bishoff , Yes I know he is not a wrestling & that why he needs to stay out the ring. That match with Matt Morgan was stupid.
#Honorable mention; Darrel Young

Worst Wrestler(Female): Lacy Von Erich, She wins this for wasting her talent. Note, she has retired, I think because she realized wrestle wasn't for her.
#Honorable mention Layla ; thanks for helping kill the Women's belt. Michelle helped to but she is a better wrestler.

Worst Tag Team (2): Laycool, as mentioned before Laycool ruined the women's title & turned the belt into a joke. Moolah is turning in her grave. Cochampions = bad idea!
#Honorable mention; Generation ME, Yes, they are good in the ring but they still are Hardy Boy ripoffs.

Worst Faction(3+): Nexus, I am still waiting for how & why first year jobbers can take over WWE, & cause Orton & Cena more trouble than anyone ever!!NWO RIPOFF
#Honorable mention; Immortal, speaking of NWO ripoffs, really! aleast Nexus looks strong, Immortal cheats to help keep a champion who show up unfit to wrestle!  

Worst Match: Cena & Otunga laying down in a WWE tag title defend, Guess beside messing with Cena, Barrett wanted to embrass the only other really talented Nexus member.
#No Honorable mention.

Worst Storyline: Immortal , is a NWO ripoff, who is team with the TNA Fortune(4 horsemen) It's same ideas, TNA had the Band(Hall,Nash,Six & Eric Young) just a few months ago! By the way I like the Band better!
#Honorable mention; Nexus, see Worst Faction.

Worst Gimmick: Eric Young, TNA,WHY DO YOU HATE THIS MAN! HE CAN WRESTLE, IS OVER AS A FACE & A HEEL WHY!!! TNA !!!WHY!!!
#Honorable mention; NONE ,TO SAD ABOUT ERIC YOUNG TO THINK!!

Worst Decision: Moving TNA Impact to Monday night. TNA got crushed, & I think the reason WWE had so many bad raws was because Vince stopped seeing TNA as a theat.
#Honorable mention; Ron Brewer, son of the Arizona Governor Jane Brewer,  I know there is a history of heels being topical. The problem with Brewer is most American agree with the Arizona law! If a bigger company had used Brewer they would have been in trouble.To better explain my position. What if there was a heel, who was pro tax cuts & was consider a bad guy for thinking that.

Moment so bad it was good: J-WOW vs Cookie, I've said it before & I will say it again they did more work that night than most of the TNA roster!!
#Honorable mention; Juan Cena, if they had done it, it would have won this! Best Cena idea ever!!

My NBA All-Star Picks

Voting is open for the starting 5 for the 2010-11 NBA ALL-STAR GAME on NBA.com.  You must be a member of NBA.com. Membership is FREE!!! You can vote more than once, limit one per 24 hours. I have voted a couple of time & will vote a few more time.

MY PICK

EAST
GUARD: DERRICK ROSE, BULLS
GUARD:DWAYNE WADE, HEAT
FORWARD:LEBRON JAMES, HEAT
FORWARD:AMARE STOUDEMIRE, SUNS
CENTER: DWIGHT HOWARD. MAGIC

WEST
GUARD: CHRIS PAUL, HORNETS
GUARD: KOBE BRYANT, LAKERS
FORWARD: KEVIN DURANT, THUNDER
FORWARD: ZACH RANDOLPH, GRIZZLIES
CENTER: MARC GASOL, GRIZZLIES

Note: This list is a normal type of list except for two changes.The two  Grizzlies!! I know people will think I am being a homer, but I believe Zach, should be a starter, if only because he took over the Grizzlies- Heat even though the Grizzlies didn't even give him the ball. He took over though rebounds & put backs. He has done this a couple of time & is Memphis's best player. Even if They don't know it. With Marc, I dare anyone to look at the center's list & tell me that anyone of them is better than Marc Gasol. It's funny former Grizz Pau Gasol will probably start over Zach, Duncan, & Dirk . But Marc will be behind injured Yao, Kaman & some dude nobody knows!
Yes, I also pick two Heat players. Anyone how disagrees needs to GROW-UP!!

The Future

This Monday during WWE Raw they are holding the Slammys. While this is on I will be holding my own parody awards "The Lammys" on twitter. My page is  http://twitter.com/MemphisSportFan or just follow me at @MemphisSportFan on twitter. While the Slammys are about the year's best in WWE, the Lammys are about the year's worst in major pro wrestling. They are based on my opinion so a lot of people won't like them. That is if a lot of people seen them anyway.

 As in the next few days I will post on this site Great Moments in Memphis Football. Fact is this has been a bad year for University of Memphis Football so I will post "good" moments of all Memphis Football history. Yes. some moments may seem like joke but I will explain why I posted them.

 Here is a link to my youtube channel.http://www.youtube.com/user/MemphisSportsFan  I have 12 favorites & 2 playlist the 730 "foxsports" playlist & the jibjab year in review playlist. I will upload something as soon as I get a good camera & a computer that is newer, the one I am on is old & slower than paint drying.

Vicki Guerrero quits GM and edge want divorce



Edge & Vickie, The End!! Nuff Said!

NOW I AM MAD, OPEN LETTER 2 TNA WRESTLING.

Note: I did not see TNA's Final Resolution this post is based on reports from wrestling sites such as NoDq.com & Lords of Pain. I am also relying on things I have read on Twitter.

Dear TNA:

 What is wrong with you! In case the people reading this don't know tonight Sunday, December 5, 2010 TNA has lost there minds! I don't know who it is that thinks Jeff Hardy should still be TNA World Champion but that person or persons should be let go! In case you miss it, Jeff Hardy almost didn't wrestle tonight due to fitness to wrestle issues. I haven't seen him but people are saying he looked high! Given Hardy's history I wouldn't be shocked!
  When you (TNA) signed Hardy it was after he had been arrested & charged with drug offences. In WWE, it was well known & mentioned on TV that Jeff had 2 strikes against him. To be fair, WWE wanted Jeff to stay. He left a contract offer on the table, to go to you. When WWE offered Jeff the contract, I was shocked. WWE since the death of Chris Benoit has made it a point to say that they have a tough antidrug policy. You claim to have a antidrug policy, I don't know what it is. That last sentence is why Jeff is now in TNA,in my opinion. Jeff who is under a indictment for drug possession & drug trafficking is using your lax drug policy to do whatever.The worst part is that Jeff Hardy was & still is very popular. This is why you must act. Jeff Hardy is heading for a crash & burn! You at the very least needs to get your belt off him! Don't put it back on RVD, he is also known for using drugs. If TNA doesn't have Jeff drop the belt. It can & will be embrassing for you. But maybe that is what the power to be at TNA want. Or at least TNA's name getting out! No even I don't think Hogan & Bishoff are that dumb. I asume if Jeff keeps the belt it will be because your fear of losing the "Hardy fans". I wonder what TNA does when you lose fans who are mad that TNA made wrestling look bad by being stupid. When this happens TNA, what will you do.

& NOW I AM MAD!!! Coach says Memphis Grizzlies lack leadership! DUH!

Tonight I have just read in a story from the Memphis Commercial Appeal that Grizz Coach Lionel Hollins called out the team at practice today. His main complaint the team lacks leadership ! I was & still am shocked. I mean ALL YEAR! Coach Hollins & the Grizz TV crew having been talking about Mike Conley JR's leadership. This is not me attacking Conley, while I think he is part of the problem he is not the main one. The main problem with the team & "leadership" IS THE COACH!! But lets go back to last Friday when former grizz Kyle Lowry went off & outplayed Conley. Lowry was traded to the Rockets a few years ago because in part he was unhappy being Conley backup. Lowry had outplayed & took over the starting point guard job. This is before Coach Hollins came in tookover coaching the grizz & gave the starting job back to Conley. Yep, the only reason Conley got to start was because Hollins said so. Moving on, there had been talk of giving OJ Mayo a chance to play point. Hollins has been & still is against this! He said OJ can't be a point because of his scoring abilty, that he can't lead the team, run a offence or & I will get back to this later get his teammates involved. That he would be a shoot first point guard. Finally OJ got his chance in summer league for 2 games before Hollins said he was done. Why because Hollins said so. Since then OJ, who Coach Hollins said was a shooting guard, now comes off the bench, behind the rookie Henry. They there is the contracts both Conley's & Rudy Gay's. Some of the other guy are not happy.Zach Randoph is probably one of them. Z-bo was a leader last year & a all-star. He was there best player & averaged a double-double. Z-bo was the main scoring option last year. But not this year. This year the main scoring option is Rudy. Marc Gasol also had a good year last year. When he got hurt the team had trouble. They can't resign him yet but they might not have enough money for them both. Plus OJ's contract will be up soon/ Knowing this the Grizz gave Rudy a max deal & resigned Conley for 5 years for 40 million. I don't know if he agreed with Rudy's deal, but I know he supported the Conley deal. Since then the offence or what the Grizz call a offence is centered around Rudy Gay & Mike Conley, the guys with the new deals. Z-bo & Gasol get ball sometimes but even against small teams, the offence stays the same. OJ over the last 2 years has played good. This year OJ is in a slump & is not shooting well. While starting he did not get the ball consistently. He gets the ball more now that comes of the bench with the backups. The change in the offence is likely a reason players are unhappy. 

 Now focusing on Conley, Coach Hollins said he is the leader. That he would & can get his teammates involved, & run a offence. Conley is considered a pass first point guard.Conley everbody says has improved over his years of starting. He has. how ? BY BECOMING A SHOOT FIRST POINT GUARD!! Mike Conley scores points. He don't get a lot of assist. just under 7per game the year. he had, 5per last year. He get 2 steals so he is very good this year at that, but steals lead to points usually for the stealer not assist. He is scoring 15.5 a game. His big game, like the one against the Lakers, he had a big scoring game. He is not getting the other guys involved. The offence is isolations for Rudy & Conley, Gasol pick & roll. This is what Coach Hollins said OJ can't run! I would be in a slump to if somebody told me that! Should be noted that last year they used a OJ isolation to & they run it we he comes of the bench. There games where I can't understand why they don't just give the ball to Gasol or Zbo, & get out of their ways. Why can't Conley get OJ & Rudy involved together. Why does the Grizz pass first point guard shoot so much.

 This is my point, The Coach chose the point guard. He said because he passes better, yet he shoots alot! He gave Conley years to get good at starting, we are still waiting. Yet OJ is coming off the bench due to a slump.The offence still looks, well I don't know what is the offence besides Isolations, pick & rolls, & hitting the open man. The offence the coach thinks OJ can' run.The big men who are the best players get the ball sometimes. Rudy & Conley trying to prove they are worth the contracts. Coach letting them maybe even helping not sure, People are unhappy about money & the Grizz still are not know for being a high money spender! That's the owner, I will write about Heisley later. & there is a leadership problem even though you just resigned the leader "for 40 million". Yea there is a leadership problem. With the Coach.

The Story That Lead to this Rant!

Return of the Prince (James)

Dear Lebron haters:

 Thank you for ruining my fun! On 12/02/2010, Tomorrow Lebron James returns to Cleveland. I don't know how I feel. My background, I am a Laker fan & have been since childhood. I also roots for the Grizzlies the NBA team that plays in my hometown. As a Laker fan I at first had no problem with James. Then me & other Laker fans begin to hear crazy things. That Lebron is better than Kobe. This made me & other Laker fans unhappy. Then I started to see Lebron act like a child. He disrespected the Magic when they beat him in the Conference finals. I saw him dance during blowouts.I was not amused. Many people defend him & bash Kobe. I heard people including even Magic Johnson declare the he had taken the torch from Kobe. I knew all it would take was one chance for Kobe to get Lebron in the Finals & this would be destroyed. That didn't happen the Cavs crashed & burned again & James left town. He went to the Heat & with Bosh & Wade formed a new Big 3. Most people said again Lebron was going to beat Kobe though after Kobe & LA beat Boston's big 4, people admitted Kobe was better.  I knew if LA played Miami in finals Kobe would finally crush Lebron. Except something happened I didn't expect. Fan turned on Lebron & the Heat. Cleveland now hate Lebron for how he left. Lebron is now the bad guy. That fact is Cleveland, Lebron left because nobody wanted to go there.Lebron left to win titles. If Cleveland can't understand that then that's why their teams don't win titles. Yes, Lebron is a selfish jerk, but Cleveland, lormer Lebron fan you let him be one for years. Now after years of hearing from James fans, the Lebron has no help excuse, now Laker fans have to watch all of James's former fans whine about how they hate him. Plus the Heat are not playing good & infighting. Thus ruining our fun. So tonight I will root for the Heat just to see Kobe beat Lebron in the finals.

IN MY OPINION: TNA !!!

 I have read from posts on twitter that the Knockout division is not popular. That someone thinks the Knockouts are stealing air time. That they are boring & the only reason that there are rating bumps when they are on the air is because of their looks. I disagree with thinking. The complaint is that the Knockouts take airtime from the X & tag team divisions. That it was a bad idea created because Dixie Carter is a feminist. The problem isn't the Knockout. THIS PROBLEM IS THE BORING TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE DIVISION. Yep, I just said it. While I also feel Hogan & Bishoff are to blame for the lack of air( I will talk about that later on in this post ). It it the weak. & I MEAN WEAK!! world title division that is the problem. When impacts Do we see the Knockouts wrestling? No we see talking & talking & talking, etc for about 20-40 minutes. They talk want happen last week like the fans didn't see. Note to TNA if your fans are not watching the whole show maybe it's because you talk too much! By the way while I've heard it's being canceled, ReAction which follows Impact is just for talking.So TNA has talking to begin Impact & has a show for talking after it. But the Knockouts are stealing time ? Yeah , Right. This lead me to the reason for the taking. Two men who are following the WCW style . Hollywood & Easy E, (Bishoff"s old nick name). They are the ones behind the X division & tag team decline. It's just like what happened in WCW. It should also be noted that they were in conrol. Along with the headbooker, Jesse Chambers is in charge of storylines. There are a few others including Foley & Tenay. Thing is the others were around when TNA had six sides, a stong X division & Tag team wresling. While there were up & down it wasn't until the new leadership, that this became a problem. The thing is the Knockouts haven't be doing so good recently. Awesome Kong left along with Roxxi. the Beautiful people have be weaken & the Knockouts tag belts are gone! Why so we can hear Jeff Harvey make me wish Mike  Adamle was there because he was more entertaining! But back to the Knockouts . They are one of the things special about TNA. They have change wrestling(see Nxt season 3) & be entertaining. So TNA fix the Hearvyweight Division or get rid of it. Last I remember it was the World X Division title. I MY OPINION!
P.S.
EITHER HAVE A LEGENDS BELT OR GET RID OF THE STUPID GLOBAL/T.V./AJ MAKES NAMES UP BELT. YOU DON'T NEED 2 HEAVYWEIGHT TITLES WHEN YOU TALK 25 MINUTES WITH JUST 1!!!!!!!!

Dear Vince

Dear Vince McMahon
For years I have been a loyal viewer & fan. I have watch your program & most likely will keep watching it. I am typing this to express my unhappiness with the current direction of WWE. I remember I began watching then WWF in the early 90's. Tonight is I fear the Darkest hour of WWE history. I have heard reports that you were in a coma & thought is was a storyline, But after tonight I'm not sure. I now am not sure if you know but. OK balance yourself. THE MIZ IS WWE CHAMPION
Now it is possible that you think this is a good idea. But I can't help but think of a conversation I had yesterday with my uncle about wrestling. He is a TNA fan & thinks TNA is better. I defended WWE & said it was better eventhough I have had problems with WWE programing. I have & do watch TNA mainly now to see how bad Hogan & Bishoff are messing up. Now I question my defense the fact is WWE has done stupid things. I now will reconsider my defense. though to be fair it's really the Miz I have a problem with but.

IN MY OPINION : The Future of Unversity of Memphis Sports




In My Opinion, The University of Memphis (Memphis)needs to change it's conference relationship. Yes I know almost every one agrees with that! But what I think Memphis should is going to sound crazy. I feel Memphis needs to consider going independent in football. There are a couple reasons I feel this way. One Memphis football is & will likely always be in the shadow of basketball. Memphis is a basketball school, & the city is basketball first, football second unlike most of the rest of the south. Football is going to have to do something to standout. Another reason is simple MONEY, a independent football would have more control of who they play which means hopefully more buy games. A buy game is when a major school pays a small school to come & play a game at the big school. The thing about buy games is that the smaller school usually gets destroyed. Many D1-A  vs  D1-AA are buy games. The larger schools can & have payed 1 million per game. A large school see the buy game as a chance of improve & play guys who usually don't get to play. Memphis football is bad & losing money let use one problem to fix another. Buy game could also lead to the tigers being on national TV more.TV leads to the third reason which has to do with a personal problem, I have had. The C-USA TV Deal. The C-USA TV has been something that has ticked me off ! Before the deal Memphis basketball games were air on local TV. Not big games but game against average C-USA teams or non conference were on channel 30. I along with many fans watch the games. This changed when C-USA sign a deal with CBS college sports. This meant some fans could not watch the games. I don't have CBS CS on my Directv tier & can't watch the games. Comcast has the games but I am not changing providers to watch Memphis basketball. It also meant games CBS CS didn't want still could not be aired! The was because the money CBS CS then college sports channel paid was to make sure they would be the main C-USA TV network only the C-USA b-ball title game on CBS & big games on ESPN are allowed beside CBS CS. This deal went effect the first year Memphis got a 1 seed in the NCAA tournament & made the elite 8. That year I saw them on TV less than the year they won't that good. This deal is the reason I want Memphis to leave C-USA. To be fair the deal was great for the other C-USA members, but as a Memphis fan I am annoyed that because the other fan bases didn't care enough to have a local TV deal we lost ours! I hope that by going independent in football, Memphis can go to a better b-ball conference who will have a better TV deal.

& NOW I AM MAD !!!! CONLEY DEAL

WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED DOES CONLEY HAVE NAKED PICTURES OF SOMEBODY ? PEASE TELL ME! 5 YEARS 45 MILLION WHY!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!

 OK now that I got that out of my sysyem. This is a horrible deal. Why, 1. the grizzlies overpaid, 2. the grizz outbid themselvies again, (Rudy Gay deal being the 1st time.) Conley would been restricted & nobody could have outbid the grizz.In fact no team would probably have offered this type of deal. 3. He is not good enough! Everbody talks about development. Question how long did it take for Paul, D. Williams, Evens , Curry, Kidd, etc. to develop?  He is a lower 15 of the league PG at best! The only reason he starts is because of Coach Hollins who made him a starter even though Kyle Lowery (now on the Rocket) had took the job from him. How are they going to resign Marc Gasol, OJ Mayo & Zach Randoph. They have wasted their money! Gasol, Mayo, & ZEBO are the best players on the team! They may lose them! And what's left of the fanbase!  It's a bad NBA organizion being bad & make bad decisions! And people wonder why fans don't come to games!

 So in the end, Congats to Mike Conley, I hear he is a great person, I don't blame him 4 taking the deal. I would have to. But BBBBOOOOO!!!! Mike Heisley, I as of last night am a Fulltime Laker Fan again.

IN MY OPINION : THE STATE OF MAJOR TEAM SPORTS!

10/23/2010Today is a Saturday in the fall. It's in the middle the NFL season, the MLB playoffs are going on,& the NBA is between the pre & regular seasons. The reasons for this blog entry are the impeding NBA & NFL lockout, ALCS & Commerical Appeal sports enterprise columnist Dan Wolken 's column about the NBA.In this column & later yesterday on his radio show, Wolken stated that a lockout would not be bad if at the end of it the NBA adopted a "Hard Salary Cap" meaning a team could not go it in spending for salaries. In a "Soft Cap" teams can go over the cap for certain reasons, to a certain point, or if they payed a Luxury Tax. That this would help the Memphis Grizzlies

 I disagree, In my opinion a hard cap would fix nothing & is an attempt by owners to lower player salaries. During this summer while NBA Commissioner David Stern claimed owner were losing money NBA owner spent like they were doing just fine. Nobody knows the truth about the money because NBA wouldn't show their financial records. That is not the main reason Wolken  likes a hard. The main reason is competitive balance like the NHL & NFL. It is true the NFL with 13 different champion since 1990 has a balance, while the NBA with dynasties has had only 7 different since 1990. It should also be noted the MLB has had 12. MLB with no salary cap has almost as many different champion as the NFL. And NHL is the last place anyone should look to when it comes to advice for running a league, the MLS is more important than them now!

This has to do with why the leagues are in trouble, Ownership & Management. The reason why the Grizzlies are bad in the owner Michael Heisley. A man who last year made money on the grizzlies, LET ME REPEAT THAT, MADE MONEY ON THE GRZZLIES! It should also be noted that the LA Clippers also make money. WHY THEY ARE CHEAP! That also a reason why players don't want to go there. They know they will lose. Sometime they do spend money usually on bad player, decisions or both (see Thabeet). After a luxury tax was started in MLB many small teams took the money they received from richer teams & pocketed it instead of spending. Some small teams have spent the money like the Twins. After last night & watching Cliff Lee beat the Yankees in a earlier game, thanks to MLB making "in my opinion"  Seattle trade him to Texas instead of NY. I think MLB cares to much for balance & cost the Yankees the World Series!

Instead of changing rules the leagues should consider changing who makes the rules.

IN MY OPINION:NoDQ.com story Matt Hardy is gone. Is MVP next?

 Today on NoDQ.com there is a story that claims MVP also might not be with WWE much longer. WHY  !!! While thinking about what I had just read I remembered something I had read on a another wrestling website not long ago. It said that Vince had decided it was time to "push the young guys" When I first read that I wondered about Matt Hardy, MVP & Mark Henry. Three men who had been in WWE for years. I wondered if this push for the young would mean they would be skipped. There were. Around the this time Sheamus won his first WWE title. Drew Mcintyre arrived & win the IC title few months later Jack Swagger won the World title. That plus CMpunk, Kofi & the Miz mean the mid teir guys chances of moving up are gone. Of couse NXT & Nexus also is part of this. Personally I hate this Hardy & Henry worked for WWE for years only to be skipped. Hardy was the sane Hardy who could have worked for a different company after being fired during the Edge/Lita situration. Remember destroyed his face angle when he hit Jeff with that chair. Jeff never really ever went heel (in WWE). Yes, I saw last Impact! Henry has had injury problems but has worked hard & overcome BAD STORYLINES, REMEMBER MAE YOUNG!!!!!!!MVP came in with Ken Anderson & was a better heel, is a better face though I liked MVP better as a heel. MVP once work a match after being burn for real. NO WORLD TITLE REIGH YET FOR THEM!

Vince You are making the same mistakes Bishoff made misjudging talent.

NoDQ.com WWE Is MVP going to be the next star to leave?

IN MY OPINON CENA, NEXUS & T-SHIRT SALES.

In case you missed it, John Cena is now a member of Nexus. Or I guess now it's CENEXUS, good grief only with Cena does that name even happen! Here is my opinion. WHY!!!!!!!! Don't me wrong, I NOT A CENA FAN! However this storyline seems to me like a bad idea. It reminds me of that bad HBK working for JBL storyline. People talk like this is going to Cena's heel turn. That makes no sense. The fact is WWE has refuse to turn Cena bad because of money. WWE makes to much money on Cena T-shirts & stuff to just turn him heel. Plus WWE has waited to long. Before Sheamus won the title, people HATED CENA! Cena was cheered & booed during his entrance. Then Sheamus won the title, I remember being tickoff. The one time Cena should have won he lost! I wasn't the only one, since losing that match Cena has been cheered. The Nexus by cheating him out of wins have only made the cheering for Cena louder. If you listen to a John Cena entrance now, you wouldn't think that his gimmick & lines are old. Plus WWE has a younger fan base now meaning they buy his gimmicks, lines & get their parents to buy his T-shirts. Nexus from what I have seen can't sell anything! I explect Cena to get a new Nexus T-shirt to try to get fans to buy it, because are not buying current ones. WWE needs to end this storyline & Nexus! Make Randy Orton,  if he is not all ready topface & move Cena to Smackdown. Wait a year or two THEN DO HEEL CENA!

IN MY OPINION State of Wrestling part 2: TNA

 The State of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling is also bad. The problem TNA however is simple & with two people, Hulk Hogan & Eric Bischoff . Ever since these two were brought in TNA has suffered. Before there arrival TNA was different! TNA was the six sided ring, tag team , X , & the Knockouts division. Bischoff & Hogan changed this. This with the horrible decision to move to Monday damaged the image of TNA. Hogan's friend Bubba the "stupid moron" ran off Awesome Kong ! How did that happen! TNA is has made dangerous decisions by signing RVD & Jeff Hardy, guy with a history of illegal drug use! In case anyone has forgetten Jeff is still under indictment for drug possession & trafficking! I'm not even go Mr "I screwed up the McMahon son angle", & Orlando," Please stop ripping off Golddust!"Jordan. TNA by bring Hogan & Bischoff has turn into a poor WWE rip off at best, or a decent WCW rip off at worst.!
