Did he really injure his knee? I thought him acting like his knee was hurt was just Orton selling the beatdown before he was to lose to Miz after the Barrett match.
Good question. We'll see with the next tv tapings and house shows.
I co-sign everything you've written. She does, however, seem to be every white man's wetdream (check the IWC boards to see what I mean), so I "get" why she won. But really, if you're being objective on all facets, Naomi has been THE most impressive out of all the women (and yes...including AJ who has been really good, but her best outing wasn't as impressive as Naomi's).
In the end, both Naomi and AJ will end up on the main roster anyway. But seeing as how Kaitlyn managed to get her character over (without any wrestling skills), and Naomi's character was losing steam toward the end of the season, Naomi needed the victory more than Kaitlyn did.
Silly WWE booking, but what else is new.
*goes back to watching Chikara & Shimmer*

When I started seeing Kaitlyn on Smackdown and Raw, I knew what it was. They tilted the scale by giving her more exposure but they'll probably keep Naomi, the best in ring performer. Hopefully they treat her better than they did the other athletic Black females they've had (Jazz, Shaniqua).
There were a few months when I stoped watching wrestling as a kid, this must be the time when they formed the Allied Powers. I damn sure don't remember them as a tag team.![]()
You didn't miss anything. They were slapped together in Luger's last months with the company. They worked a Mania together and were on the outs by SummerSlam. Then just as they turned Davey Boy and it looked like he might feud with Luger, Luger shows up on the first Nitro.
Report: Lawler & Cole Pushing For Jim Ross Return
Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
It’s said to be no secret that Jim Ross wants to return to the announce booth. His appearance on RAW two weeks ago resulted in overwhelming sentiment that he should return, but his fate lies in the hands of Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn, who prefer youth—though Jerry Lawler is three years older than Ross.
Furthermore, Lawler and Cole have pushed for Ross to replace Matt Striker as the third man for pay-per-view broadcasts, whom they both dislike. McMahon, however, feels the pay-per-view broadcast team should be limited to those who work television.
I'd love to have Ross back. The short time he worked the other week, he made the whole Michael Cole nonsense tolerable. But I don't want him to replace Striker. Striker can sometimes want to force his one liners in at the worst times he's still the best color guy they have. He probably needs to work with Ross to improve instead of a second stringer like Grisham (who also needs to be trained by Ross likek Cole was). Lawler and Cole don't like him because he actually does research and makes them look bad.
Mick Foley gave an interview to GeekWeek.com yesterday where he says that he doesn’t plan on renewing his contract with TNA. Foley said he was frustrated with communication problems inherent in the structure of the company similar to WCW and that he wasn’t pleased that the company didn’t air footage of his appearance at Jon Stewart’s Rally To Restore Sanity for Comedy Central.
“I’ve been beating myself up and it’s frustrating because I can’t seem to get the decision makers in TNA to realize that it is a big deal to show me in front of 250,000 fans at the Jon Stewart rally and to show the reaction of the crowd,” he said. He noted that the contract was up in about “eight or nine months” and that his in-ring days are limited as it is.
I rarely thought TNA used Foley to the best though they did get some good moments, promos and matches out of him. The fact that a relatively small company like TNA has such poor communications infrastructure is a bad sign but not surprising. It shows with their product.
As far as nxt goes kaitlyn is horrible and it's only a matter before she gets stale, imo she already has and naomi/aj put on a damn good match last week which was better than any "pro" has had.
.
yet they have a proven track record of keeping black talent down
