What can I say about ROH that hasn't been said before? This organization has some of the best WRESTLING in the United States today. If you've never been to a ROH show. I highly recommend it. Especially if you get good seats like me and my friends.
The high-light besides the main event. Would be the Eddie Edwards vs. Kenny King. Awesome match; Alot of great spots, moves, hard hitting, and they even went out into the crowd. Great match from beginning to end.
The mainevent: Rodrick Strong, Kings of Wrestling vs. Davie Richards, Charlie Haas, and Shelton Benajmin. Do I really need to say anymore after that? I mean come on, aurguably the best wrestlers in ROH if not the world in one match. What do you expect? A great match? Well that's exactly what you got. This match was great. I don't think I can explain how great it was. You had to see it to believe it.
Overall the night was very very good. Plus meeting Hass, Benjamin, and Jay Briscoe made it all the better.

Wrestling Obscurity: Nidia
Continuing with the theme of Tough Enough. We take a look at Nidia, the other winner of Tough Enough Season 1. After winning, Nidia debuted on SmackDown on the June 6, 2002, in a backstage segment with the Hurricane and Jamie Noble, which Noble and Nidia then became an on-screen couple undergoing a trailer trash gimmick. They were both playing as heels, with Nidia leading Noble to several wins, due to interference during the matches. At the King of the Ring she led Noble to winning the Cruiserweight Championship from The Hurricane. She then began to feud with Torrie Wilson leading to many solo and mixed tag team matches with Guenard and Noble against Wilson and various other cruiserweights, including Funaki, Billy Kidman, Rey Mysterio, and Brian Kendrick.
On the October 16, 2003 episode of Smackdown, Nidia was blinded by Tajiri during a match between Tajiri and Noble, after which Tajiri spewed his "Green mist" into her face. Storyline-wise, this encounter resulted in a physical 'injury' to Nidia. After recovering, Nidia started appearing at ringside with sunglasses on. During this time, Noble would throw Nidia in front of various opponents at a match's climax, to both save himself and let him later accuse them of "hitting a woman", etc. Later in this storyline, Rey Mysterio revealed to Nidia that Noble was exploiting her in the aforementioned manner, resulting in Nidia turning against Noble. The two feuded, culminating in a match at No Way Out in 2004 in which Noble had to wear a blindfold. True to character, Noble cheated to win as he removed his blindfold during the match.
Nidia was drafted to the Raw on March 22, 2004. Where she became a face, who claimed to be excited that she was drafted to the Raw, where she can wrestle for the Women's Championship. She made her debut match on the March 29, 2004 episode of Raw, defeating Molly Holly. She then tag teamed regularly with Stacy Keibler and Victoria against heels Trish Stratus, Gail Kim, Molly Holly, and Jazz. Did she wrestle for the Women’s Championship? Nope. Instead Nidia was released from her WWE contract on November 3, 2004 along with several other performers.

Stop talking TNA
First off I don't hate TNA, but I would be lying if I said the product is as good now as it was 2 years ago. With the return of the Rock, HHH, and the Undertaker in the last 2 weeks. TNA should stop with the talking segments or cut them in half. Cause WWE has them beat by a mile in the department of talking. Plus I'm getting tired of hearing Eric, Flair, Hogan, Pope etc. for 10-15min and taking away from what TNA can do better than WWE and that is WRESTLE. Imagine if you will, a good X-division match every week that went on for 7-10 min or a tag team match that went the same length. Doesn't that sound like a good idea? And is it really that hard to do?

Possible John Cena Heel Turn
This isn't based on anything I've read. Just an idea I had. Since the Rock's return on RAW and after his awesome promo. I think this would be a good time to turn John Cena heel...again. Cause think what you've got here. The Rock said that Cena has a problem with him and I guess in turn the Rock now has a problem with John Cena. He basiclly called out John Cena and he insulted him on top of it. So there is the foundation. I don't like you, you don't like me. Basic wrestling story telling. The Rock is such a HUGE babyface right now it's unbelievable. And people already chant "Cena Sucks." So he is heel...kinda. Okay, he is not heel. But it wouldn't take much. All Cena would have to say is that the Rock is over-rated, doesn't love the wrestling business, talk crap about his movies (Tooth Fairy) and call the Rock obsolete. Also he has to hit him with a chair. There ya go, instant heel turn. Will this happen? I doubt it, but we'll see what happens at the PPV and tomorrow's RAW.
