Were you an Umaga fan, darkwarrior?
I thought he was alright but I always felt that Umaga was WWE's answer for Samoa Joe. I liked Umaga when he was apart of 3 Minute Warning and wished they kept that team together. I might give Umaga the Champion of Champions belt in SVR 10 though.

RIP Umaga. This is very, very sad. I know no other form of entertainment but Pro Wrestling where so many die so young.
RIP :crying:
RIP :crying:

I did like him in 3MW better. He was very agile and talented. I never thought of him as a Samoa Joe type anyway. He was kinda borrowing from his uncle and his brother's Savage Samoan gimmicks. Anyway I was hoping he was gonna come back to WWE. RIP Eddie Fatu.:bowdown:

Speaking of which. Good job of WWE letting the best divas on the roster have at it tonight. The match was a little sloppy but hopefully the choreography gets cleaned up over the next weeks. Mickie sounded fired up and angry about the criticsm. Let's get it ladies.

RIP Eddie Fatu
i always liked Umaga he was fun to watch i still don't know why WWE let him go.
I heard that he refused to take the drug test.
While, i was never really an Umaga fan, i do think it is very sad that he died, Especially so young. God bless and RIP, Umaga.
Was Umaga related to The Rock?I heard that he refused to take the drug test.

so im watching UFC TUF finale tonight and Hogan,dixie carter and bischoff were in the crowd.
and they announced that Jan 4th TNA is moving to Mondays to go head-to-head with RAW. and hogan has a partnership with Spike and TNA.
what kind of partnership? i guess like i posted in the TNA thread he and all the old WCW guys are going to get together again and turn TNA in WCW2.
and we saw how that failed!

Oh great, that means I'll be flipping back and forth between USA and Spike.

I saw that on TUF last night and my first thought was here we go again. It's a 3 hour show as far as I know so I'll just do like I did during the Monday Night Wars. I'll watch TNA for the first hour, turn to RAW and only switch to TNA during commercial breaks. Then I'll switch back to RAW when commercials are over. TNA should have stayed on Thursdays because this might be the shot that WWE needs to reinvigorate their product.
I don't know about that, man. I've been losing interest in WWE more and more. I used to watch every WWE-related show possible and now I only watch RAW (I work the other days) and that's only if I remember to. TNA competition will either make make check out TNA now (I've never actually watched a TNA taping before) or it will make WWE step up their game. Vince has been receiving a lot of criticism over his product as of late and competing shows just might be what's needed in today's professional wrestling world. Hopefully, it will make WWE get away from this shitty PG crap. Fucking Benoit messed up everything.
I read that TNA has been getting crapp ratings on thursday, so this Monday show may put on the TNA word for some more people. I always favored WCW in the Monday Night Wars. Maybe the ame thing will happen to TNA. Still, I could never give up my Natalya....

Man, I see what you guys are saying and I'm down with TNA on mondays, that means I'll actually watch it now (I hardly get to see any program besides Smackdown anyways.)
I can't give up on WWE though. Not for TNA or UFC or any other brand/mma/boxing. I watch them, because I'm a fan. People usually say " I dont wrasslin no more cause it's gay". I went through that phase, but dudes also watch mma wit no problem. I watched TUF last night, and dudes was hugging/face to face more often than wrestlers are. How can that not be gay (outside the fact they throw kicks and punches).
WWE is wack right now, but yet I still watch. It's not going to be attitude era again, and that's okay as well. Wanna see blood, watch TNA or MMA. Wanna see boobs, you're on the right website. It's not needed to make wrestling good. I just wanna see good wrestling, good promos and good gimmicks. WWE>TNA

In my opinion it doesn't even seem like TNA is trying to make a good wrestling show. People talk about WWE being terrible but the current TNA product is garbage. Their main goal right now is to defeat WWE and that was a huge downfall for WCW. Ever since Hogan was announced as going to TNA I think that signed the death warrant for TNA.
