THIS WEEK IN WRESTLING

And welcome back to your favorite wresting column on the net right now...The Abraham Washington Show....nah I'm just playing. Welcome back to This Week In Wrestling my friends, lets get down to the nitty gritty shall we?
1. Someone tell me how this Hulk Hogan-TNA thing is going to work out well for the company? Does he know five wrestlers in TNA? Seriously I would like to know if he knew five wrestlers in the company. I'd say its a push. And this is coming from a lifelong Hulkamaniac. But here is my issue, this could be just like when Rikishi came into TNA a couple years ago and in my eyes set TNA back a few years when he called Robert Roode a Rick Rude rip off. This is going to be one bumpy ride.
2. Awesome, Team 3D are heels again. The guys have been in TNA for 4 years, and have turned four times already. Granted this isn't saying much, I think Mick Foley turned four times in the last 2 months, but I'm interested to see how this storyline goes. Throw Dr. Stevie into the mix and you have a nice core group of pissed off ECW alums.
3. Had a nice groan inducing moment on TNA this week. Love that Nigel is breaking out on the show and the company is really getting behind him. Moreso love the fact that he took out Cody Deaner. But did he really have to quote Duran Duran as his catch phrase? "Kurt, I'm hungry. You may say that I'm 'Hungry like a Wolfe." BOOOO!!!!
4. What a showing by Sheamus on RAW this past week. I have a feeling this was done to write Noble off television, but wow. Interested to see how he gets pushed from here next. Someone is going to have be turned face in the Swagger, Miz, Legacy mix and I'm curious to see who it is.
5. And look at Vance Archer coming to ECW. I'll get into this next, but impressive debut. Wish he didn't use Kozlov's recycled finisher as his move, but glad to see him jump over and get a shot up north. Will be rooting for him on Tuesday nights.
6. Been thinking about this too, I want to create a TNA to WWE ranking scale. Lets go!
A. CM Punk
B. Christian
C. R-Truth
D. Marcus Cor Von
E. Vance Archer
F. Shannon Moore
F- Braden Walker
7. On the subject of ECW, love Christian but I'm predicting next week Regal takes the belt in his home nation. Capt. Charisma has held his belt the longest out of anyone, but it is due time that Regal takes the ECW crown. And while we're on the title change subject, I have a feeling next week we also see Dolph as the new IC champ.
8. On Smackdown this week, curious to see what happens with Rey-Batista. Thought it would be perfect to have as Survivor Series captains, but w/e. I'm intrigued to see their match-up. Doubt this is the ned of the feud though, I see this going on for quite some time.
9. Want to make my SS prediction again, since it looks like there may only be on 5-5 matchup.
Capt. Kofi, MVP, Henry, Morrison, Christian
Capt. Orton, Legacy, Ziggler, Regal
10. I think Piper is officially the guest host for the MSG Raw, and after what he's been through in the last several months, I predict an insane ovation for the Hot Rod when he makes his big return.
Thanks for reading everyone, see ya next week! - Zach
