    From http://www.pwinsider.com

    WWE's third annual ECW One Night Stand PPV event has been moved from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, which housed the previous two ONS events, to Jacksonville, Florida's Veterans Memorial Arena.

    The date of the PPV was also moved from 6/10 to 6/3

    Smart move on the WWE's behalf...that NYC crowd would riot this year.

    Did anyone enjoy Raw last night?
    It was great to see Bischoff, Shane-O, Foley and Austin in one segment. Austin's pop was insane. Nobody currently in the WWE can pop a crowd like that today, which is a shame.

    I think that a lot of us have about given up on RAW & Smackdown & (the fake) ECW.

    Yeah...ever since I started watching Heroes on Mondays, I don't even bother to switch over afterwards.

    I think I am on a three week long sabbatical from WWE.....so far. I never imagined being this disinterested in pro wrestling. :(

    I haven't watched any form of WWE for at least two months. Don't even bother taping them. I'll still read the spoilers, but so far nothing has sounded remotely interesting enough to make me want to watch.

    TNA has been getting bad too. I tape the hour-long Impact and can usually fast-forward through it in about ten minutes.

    I am a late comer to TNA.....and frankly, I am disappointed in the TV product. Every show that I have seen on TV (not pay-per-view) has been an hour long promo for a pay-per-view. It is as bad as the WWF was in the years before the "Monday Night Wars." I have seen nothing from them that makes me want to pay for one of their events.

    On another note, was one surprised about Kurt Angle's name appearing in the latest sports steroids scandal. :rolleyes:

    Another sad day for wrestling...
    Former WWF star passes away...

    Allen Coage, best known for his WWF stint as Bad News Brown, passed away today at the age of 63. He was rushed to Rockyview Hospital in Calgary this morning for chest pains and died shortly after.

    Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Allen Coage.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    When I was a kid I loved the WWF. I was nuts for that stuff, but as I got older it phased out of me. However this past Friday night on this DOC documentary channel we have on DISH network was a 2 hour long documentary on Bret "Hitman" Hart. Probably one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I remember Bret from back in the day and was a fan, but after watching this, I'm even more of a fan now. He's a real down to earth good guy. And he spit in Vince McMahon's face! How much better does it get!

    Well smack my ass and call my Judy....

    An episode of Raw with Stone Cold AND The Rock??? Never thought i'd see it again.
    Obviously it would've been cooler if he'd been there in person but it was still great to see him. In a way, i'm kinda glad that he doesn't really come back now. It's not the same Rocky that we loved, not as much in character anymore.

    Great to see them both......but really they are now just "talking heads".....Austin's arm looked like he hasn't seen the inside of a gym lately.

    I did not watch Wrestlemania, but here is a link to Vince/Trump on the Today Show this morning:

    I haven't watched more than 10 minutes of any wrestling program over the past three months. WWE still blows, although it seems that Smackdown is the better wrestling show out of any of them right now.

    TNA has gone down the crapper ever since Russo came onboard. They focus so much on the ex-WWE/WCW superstars, that the homegrown TNA talent is getting buried. Hell, even Samoa Joe, who should be the flagship of their roster, is getting lost in the shuffle.

    I still read the dirtsheets and spoilers, but nothing has given me any reason to watch any of the shows. Although the bit with Edge winning the title by cashing in his MITB against Undertaker last week on Smackdown was pretty good.

    I simply stopped watching...like you, I keep up with things via PWInsider...other than that...there's no reason to tune in.

    I still watch every now and then, but i check results regulary to see what's going on. I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't for HBK and Taker still being able to bring it in the ring i probably wouldn't watch. So now that Taker's gone for at least 6 months i'm pretty upset.

    Mr Kennedy is good, bu he's the only new-ish guy i even remotely like.
