If TNA wants to succeed they need to get rid of JJ. Sorry, JJ you are not now and will never be main event. You suck the life out of TNA as you did WCW.

Who the heck wants to watch star wars?
Stars Wars, the most OVERRATED franchise in american history.
Star Trek > Star Wars.
Give me Impact. Bad move SpikeTV!

Next week, Raw gets pre-empted for a James Bond marathon. Oh wait... TNA! TNA! TNA!

Star Wars rating = 1.1 > TNT Impact

Well, considering the fact that they are already transitioning to McCool/Phoenix, I'd say the Piggy James segment didn't end up too well for Mickie in any shape or form.

" I'm only 130, 135 pounds. But at the same time, no, because it's entertainment. Is it my favorite? I don't really know. I guess we'll have to see where it goes. It depends on the payoff. We're telling stories and we're building emotional things where people can actually connect with it. And I think that a lot of women in general, society has put on this thing where every female should look like Paris Hilton who is 6-foot something, and 100 pounds. That's not how America is and that's not how the real women in the world look."

Lol at Mickie talking about not every girl having "five star matches". When was the last time she had a match above one star? See, if I were WWE, that's why I would be down on her.
Forget the fact that she's not skinny. How about the fact that she's been horrible in the ring for well over a year now, if not longer. Overrated doesn't even begin to describe her. And for a girl that never came close to being a huge star for the company(no matter what her fans might say), she sure seems pretty high on herself.
Face it, if she didn't get to work with Trish and Lita in her first year, she would have been fired by now. The same is true for Melina, to a lesser degree. If Melina didn't get to mix it up with Trish at the end of her career a little bit, she would have been gone by now as well.
These two have been living off of something they did years ago, and I'm sick to death of both of them. I hope Michelle, Maryse, and Beth get to OWN them the next few months, and then they get tossed out on their conceited asses. Mickie can go sing her shitty music, and Melina can go comfort Bret Hart after he gets screwed by WWE again.

The Star Wars marathon will probably get a 2.0 rating

I am a bigger draw than Hogan.
Posted By: Darth Vader (Guest
a dead cat thats been ran over 47 times is a bigger draw than hogan. i truly hate he is poisoning TNA they have been having REAL WRESTLING matches now we will have to sit through 2 hrs every thursday of hogan,nash,hall,x-puke, and any other of his buddies currently not in rehab or jail.

It's amazing how promising both Melina and Mickie were when they first started out in WWE. It was partly their own fault for not doing anything special in the years to come, but also WWE's for completely neutering them. Mick had a good thing going with her psycho biatch character, but they then made her into a stale face and did nothing fresh with her character. Mel was very good to start with in MNM but she too became a boring, smiley face last year and is just so dull now. She was one of the better heel women for a while. Maryse and McCool are better than them anyway.
If WWE had half a braincell they would push Kelly Kelly as the next top Diva. You'd have to be deaf not to hear the reactions she gets. She is also 22 so she has a good 5-10 years to be used. She's also getting better in the ring and has stayed clean from injuries. Most marketable Diva right now and gets a response on any given night.

Damn I thought Impact was on tonight. Guess I'll just watch Smackdown early.

Good stuff. Mickie, J.R., and Jeff,
all achieved their respective successes
the old fashioned way: They earned it.
Thoughtful and articulate? Always good for the business, as a whole.

I'd poke Mickie James in her rear.
I'm just saying.

I can't stand her, but I agree. WWE wants her to be the next Trish Stratus. She doesn't have the charisma, personality or intelligence to get that good, but even if she just ends up being Stacy Keibler 2.0(she's pretty close to that already), than that's still better than anything they currently have to offer.
Posted By: Guest#4584 (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 06:09 PM
It's funny what busts Melina and Mickie have been. WWE so wanted them to be the next Trish and Lita, but they have failed on an epic level. While the trade to Smackdown and fat angle pretty much spells the end for Mickie, people need to realise that moving to Raw has killed Melina too. She's been exposed as charismatic void that botches every other move. Wouldn't be surprised to see both of them gone this time next year.

Awsome interview with Jeff Jerett. Wrestling was based on professional wrestling (holds) not wrestling entertainment. That makes so much sense.
You can entertain, but wrestling should definately play a role, not just act out. But wrestle.
Competition. There's nothing wrong with that folks. TNA takes it to a different level of maneuvers and high impact moves. I love it! That's one thing the other promotions lag. Wow! The knockouts even battle it out.
Wow!

They could run Phantom Menace in place of TNA and it would probably TRIPLE the rating.
Then again you could probably double the rating of TNA just by having the christmas yule log on.
VIVA LA TNA BABY!!!

I love star wars but seeing how I own the dvd;s I was really wanting to watch TNA tonight.Dont know what spike tv was thinking.

This PG stuff really limits WWE. Let's pretend they were still edgy.
McCool could taunt Mickie about being overweight and say that she is the ideal female of WWE. Mickie would feel bad about herself and sulk. Then, she'd snap and go all fatal attraction on her.
Mickie could say something like: "You were right, Michelle. You're irresistible." Mickie could be a female Goldust (circa mid-90's.)

Jim Ross is pathetic.
Mickie James is an overrated loser.
Jeff Jarret couldn't draw flies to shit.

"Q. Do you have some favorite people to work with?
Probably my favorite on any given night would be Beth Phoenix. She's tough and she's strong, but I know that I can go in there … on any given night and we could tear the house down."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Womens match "tearing the house down" is a bigger oxymoron than Hogan in a wrestling match.
Mickie...you are one of the sorry, talentless, in ring performers that plagues the womens division. You're right up there with Kelly Kelly. And in the meantime they bury Gail Kim. Pathetic.
Posted By: The Coach (Guest) on December 26, 2009 at 07:39 AM
You guys are stupid.Melina and Mickie James are the most valuable things in women's divison.Simple as that.Michelle McCool has improved in the ring but she has the charisma of paint dry,Maryse is horrible in the ring,she's hot but she doesn't get good heat,same thing goes with Beth Phoenix shes great and all BUT SHE GETS NO HEAT.The Casual WWE fans ONLY CARE about Mickie James and Melina.Go to any house show match or live event and you will see the pops they get.When both of them are gone i'm sure you all WILL love to see the 5 star classic matches with Maryse vs Eve,or the spectacular match EVERYONE is dying to see Maryse vs Beth were all maryse does is taunt the crowd like she's on crack,flip her hair,she does 2 moves,and beth squashes her.OHHH YESS!!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^(sarcasm)

Even Spike knows that TNA blows.
Posted By: Tugman (Guest) on December 26, 2009 at 04:49 PM
"Maryse is horrible in the ring,she's hot but she doesn't get good heat,"
That's because the fans have been treating Maryse like a babyface since returning, especially on Raw a few weeks ago when she got a noticable pop when she entered. Gail Kim, the actual babyface, got no reaction when she came out a few seconds later.
It will be hard for Maryse to get heel as long as fans would rather cheer her than boo her.
Posted By: Guest#0409 (Guest) on December 26, 2009 at 09:48 PM
to all those people thinking melina and mickie james are terrible wouldn't know a genuine wrestler if it hit them in the head.
Their too busy praising the abysmal efforts of Kelly Kelly & Maryse, who couldn't wrestle their ways out of a paper bag. And Beth Phoenix is great, but she's gotten little to no reaction since the Santina shit.
The people on here that keep calling Melina and Mickie James bad for trivial reasons never take in to consideration the shades of grey factor, and that not everyone is perfect.
Posted By: mp (Guest) on December 27, 2009 at 04:00 AM
Mp, if Maryse and the others you don't like walked on water, you'd be accusing them of not knowing how to swim. It's easy to praise Mickie and Melina when you don't acknowledge their botches or blame someone else.
And Mickie and Melina's matches get the same apathy Beth does. At TLC, so many people left during the Mickie-Michelle match that the arena lights had to be dimmed to hide the empty seats, so it's hardly a problem exclusive to Beth.
