Random wrestling thoughts for Aug 15th

TNA...

Blah. I literally spent 3 days on a power binge watching three months worth of TNA Impact episodes on Spike website, in order to catch up.

First item. HAIL SABIN!  I can not say how happy I was to see that Heavyweight belt finally on Mr. Sabin. Let's hope he's allowed to keep it for awhile.

Second,  the X-Division getting the big push in the last few months. That brought a smile to my face too. Everyone knows that the X-Division is the direction I think wrestling should be heading.

Third, bringing back the Main Event Mafia...ugh! Too predictable. And with that said, it's so beyond time to loose the Aces and Eights. 

Fourth, The Bound For Glory series.  Love this time of year,  hate with a passion the idea of Magnus being in the lead.  My personal dream match for the belt would be Sabin vs Styles or Sabin vs Aries.


WWE...

Summer Slam is this weekend. Not really caring to tell you the truth. Already ruined for me.  You've got RVD going for Dean Ambrose's United States title. Not happy about that.
The pre-show hasn't really had a lot of luck for the guy going into the match, nor has the pre-show really been very good to begin with. The matches are never long enough.
I know they've got the pre-show listed as an hour, so I'm hoping that match is at lest a half hour.  What I'm wanting to see is Mr. Ambrose hanging onto that belt any way he has to. Take the count out, cheat, have the other members of the Shield - Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns- cause a dq, run away with the belt...dude, just the belt looks good on you.
But something tells me that we're going to see Rollins and Reigns in a sticky match themselves. As of this posting, there wasn't anything listed for the tag champs for the ppv. But, if the last few episodes of the show are any clue, I have a feeling they well be in a match against Mark Henry and Big Show. If that happens, well I can't even see cheating let alone a clean win helping them keep the belts. Not happy about the idea of them loosing yet.
I'm not ready to see the Shield deglazed  and loose their shinny.

till later
