WWE vs TNA January 4th 2010

This is from TNA's Official Site, TNAWrestling.com:
"HULKAMANIA IS COMING BACK TO MONDAY NIGHT ON “TNA iMPACT!” LIVE JANUARY 4 ON SPIKE TV
Hulk Hogan’s First Live Appearance On Spike TV’s “TNA iMPACT” Will Be In A Special 3-Hour Live Episode Monday, January 4 At 8:00 PM ET/PT

The biggest name in professional wrestling history, Hulk Hogan, will make his first live appearance on Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling’s “TNA iMPACT!” in a live 3-hour special on Spike TV Monday, January 4, 2010 at 8:00PM ET/PT. Hogan and TNA President Dixie Carter attended “The Ultimate Fighter Heavyweights” Finale in Las Vegas where Hogan made the announcement in an interview with Joe Rogan.


“TNA iMPACT!” will be going against “WWE Monday Raw” on USA Network, the first time two wrestling companies have broadcast live head-to-head since the “Monday Night Wars” in the late 1990’s between WWE and WCW. This “iMPACT!” special will broadcast live from the TNA iMPACT! Zone at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fl.

Hogan’s first appearance inside the six-sided ring of TNA Wrestling will follow weeks of speculation after Hogan and Carter announced their partnership on October 27 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Hogan has hinted in various media interviews that he’ll have multiple surprises in store for TNA Wrestling fans.

“I knew when I signed with TNA, that it would be important to make a statement with the first episode. Going head-to-head on January 4th, makes the statement loud and clear: Game on!” Hogan said.

“TNA is kicking off 2010 in the biggest way possible with the biggest name in the history of our sport. Hulk Hogan is a pop culture icon, and his arrival will change not only TNA, but the entire professional wrestling landscape. We’re firing that first shot,” Carter said.

Joining Hogan for the three-hour live “iMPACT!” will be TNA World Heavyweight Champion “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles, Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, Kevin Nash, “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe, “The Boss” Bobby Lashley and “The Blueprint” Matt Morgan.

“TNA iMPACT!” will resume its normal timeslot on Thursday, January 7th at 9:00 PM ET/PT with an encore viewing of the live “iMPACT!” special."

Who is the Real Mr WrestleMania?

Stats accurate as of 4/4/09 So who is the real Mr Wrestlemania: HHH, HBK, Edge, John Cena, Randy Orton or The Undertaker? Firstly, Hulk Hogan does not feature because I continue to lose respect for him the more I read of what he says and what he has done. Also the main criteria of Mr Wrestlemania for me is that he still needs to be in active competition ruling out: Bret Hart, Randy Savage and Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat (Note from Dee: He's in this year's Wrestlemania ain't he?). The case for HHH is not a great one, all though he has gone into last few Wrestlemania as the World champion he has left empty handed. Also he lost infamously to the Ultimate Warrior in about a 3 minute crush match in which the Warrior got straight up from the Pedigree. So basically HHH in my opinion has no claim to the title Mr Wrestlemania. However HHH match against The Undertaker was amazing and despite a losing effort he put on a great performance. His record is 6 wins - 9 losses at Wrestlemania. HBK the WWE proclaimed Mr Wrestlemania in my opinion is not the true Mr Wrestlemania. HBK has lost more than he has won and despite his performances as a Superstar at Mania but I would rather a Mr Wrestlemania who performs well and wins a lot of his matches. However his match against Kurt Angle was amazing and like most of his Mania matches he lost however he was did really well. Although Batista may disagree his match at Wrestlemania 24 was amazing and I don’t think Ric could have asked for a better send off. His record at Wrestlemania is 5 wins – 8 losses. Edge the Rated R Superstar could be a Mr Wrestlemania of the future and if he beats Cena and Big Show then he will be 6 and 2 something which is not something to be ashamed of. The only matches he has lost were Money in the Bank and The Undertaker. The Rated R superstars tactics may not be always honest but he is effective however if he Wrestlemania losing streak continues then perhaps he may never claim the title of Mr Wrestlemania but at the moment he is not worth of it. His Wrestlemania record is 5 wins – 2 losses. John Cena the Champ is not here and the title of Mr Wrestlemania is not here either. He is not undefeated and his matches are often poor. The best match he has had at Wrestlemania was at XX when he beat the Big Show and also the rap beforehand was amazing although the match he had with HBK was good. His Mania record is 4 wins – 1 lose. Randy Orton the legend killer is looking good at Wrestlemania but his win lose record is not great and some of his matches have been poor and example of that being Evolution vs. the Rock ‘n’ Sock connection. His loses were against The Undertaker which is acceptable and also against Rey Mysterio perhaps not so. Also he has competed in two triple threat matches at Mania which is not always a good thing. But if Orton can keep winning at Mania he can then perhaps like Edge he would be a Mr Wrestlemania of the future but not right now. His Mania record is 3 wins – 2 losses. The Undertaker Undefeated, entertaining and legendary. Simply 3 words that describe The Undertaker’s Wrestlemania streak. He is Mr Wrestlemania because he puts on a great show anytime he competes at Mania and he wins something Mr Wrestlemania should do. HBK may wish to call himself Mr Wrestlemania but the fact is The Undertaker is the one and only Mr Wrestlemania. As if I needed to tell you his Wrestlemania record is 16 wins – 0 losses.

Bye Bye Boogey

The Boogeyman is gone and I wish him the best of luck and hope he stays away for TNA! ECW loses one of it's stars, but as they say every cloud has a silver lining and this cloud's is the fact that Kizarny has also gone Goizod luizck tizo hizm, however he can go to TNA. Speaking of TNA it is rumoured that 'dangerous' Danny Bonaduce' will be taking part in a match at Lockdown and despite the fact he is the best in Hulk Hogan's CCW he should not be in the six sided ring he should be in the WWE four sided ring. Actually I don't think anyone should be in the six sided ring and Dixie Carter should cut her loses and shut TNA down, before WWE has to buy it out like WCW and ECW before it. Wrestlemania 25 looks to be hoting up but my major concern is that with 23 days and counting left not all of the matches have been decided and therefore there may be a struggle to build up enough heat. Although the two Texans in the main event HBK and The Undertaker will take the roof off and when Taker wins (sorry if Taker wins) the hometown crowd will go wild. Finally just to say that I agree with JR who said he wanted Joey Style to commentate on the Diva Battle Royal, it would be interesting how many times he would say 'OH MY GOD!' or 'CAT FIGHT!' the way that only he can.
