Losing makes strange bedfellows. Say you just finished up your title run, the highlight of your career, and have the strange misfortune of fighting the guy with a marine movie. Chances are you are getting your faced smashed in by the ever brutal steel cage door. Which not only closes the door on this god knows 8 year feud, but also ends your title shot main eventing status.
What do you do for encore? Team up with a heel in a similar spot and go after the real main eventers of the company cause fighting for belts is now so passe. Particularly, if the guy with spinny belt has a Marine movie.
Edge was faced with this unidealic scenario and prompted to team up with Randy Orton to take out DX, cause the McMahon's have had no luck at this endeavor lately. These two do share history as Edge was met with the broad side of a steel cage door cause of HBK and Orton, well he got deep sixed by HHH long ago into a life of fighting for Hogan and trying to ravish his daughter. So storyline plot moves off into the negative zone on one front.
Since fighting for titles is so 1990's now, McMahon has declared that at the WWE next ppv - cyber sunday- that all three transitional champions (aren't we all) will face each other in a 3 way contest of champions. Marvel Comics pioneered this trend in the 1980's with secret wars. Here McMahon goes all beyonder like and vanishes John Cena, marine movie and all, extremist Big Show, and King Booker to a barren planet to fight for their supper. Hopefully someone drops a mountain on them like they did on the marvel heroes in that book.
Of course the person to drop the mountain should be Kane who was sentenced to barren planet Kane for losing to Umaga. Good thing he took the Highlanders out with him cause that stick's ship has sailed.
Flair had some help fighting the sucky spirit squad member by not only calling in past horseman but also members of MONEY INC. - Ted Diabese and I.R.S. aka Irwin R Schiester aka The Captain. The Million Dollar Man's account would audit the Spirit Squad out of the ring.
Roll a phatty for TNA as Impact was able score a 9pm time slot on Spike TV and most importantly score the Kurt Angle TV slot as well. Things are looking exitcing for Jarrett and company.
Ok so maybe not balls to wall exicting.
Also AJ Styles had some passport problems in Mexico
Highlight of the Week
In this case it was more like lowlight of the week. ECW actually spilt screened its matches this week from time to time to show the Diva strip poker contest. Now I don't mind looking at women strip, but I don't need my attention from it cut away by a Kevin Thorne vs Tommy Dreamer matchup. After watching 2 seconds of low card (it wasn't even a poker game) and watching Balls Mahoney get a stiffy that's all anyone could stand.

WTF??? Angle on TNA? Has Vince lost his mind? He's just handed TNA a huge asset. OK, if Christian and Jeff Hardy show up in TNA, no one really gives a crap, but Angle? Does this make TNA the new WCW? And will TNA also be eaten by the McMahon machine?
