Another big Monday night for wrestling fans with a big RAW and the iMPACT! tapings in the same night.

Terry Funk made his first RAW appearance since 1998 and I was marking out like the spazzy 17-year old! When I used to live in England I would keep up with ECW TV shows through tape traders. I got into watching the TV tapes regularly (as in every time a new one became available I had to have it) around Oct./Nov. 1995. This was around the time Tommy Dreamer brought in Funk to combat a heel Cactus Jack and Raven. This Funk/Dreamer vs. Foley/Edge angle could be viewed as a blatant rehash but for me it's a trip down memory lane! As expected Foley's interview was strong tonight and Funk got a great reaction seeing as how they were in Texas. Some of the content of the angle seemed a little lost on the live crowd but I think it's a neccessary sacrifice in order to educate the WWE fans as to where things are headed when the new ECW comes into effect. Judgement Day is this Sunday and once that is out of the way it's full speed ahead for One Night Stand hype.

I want to make a confession. I...am...a...Spirit Squad...mark... Yes, I just said that. I am a Spirit Squad mark. Those guys are freaking hilarious. And while I am having a soul cleansing confession session, I am on the edge of my seat for this DX reunion! I can't remember the last time I was this into the WWE product.

Down in Orlando, TNA taped two weeks worth of TV. Among other things it was announced that the third ever King of the Mountain match will take place at Slammiversary. Christian is defending his belt against four guys who win qualifiers leading up to the PPV. So far Abyss and Ron Killings have made it through (eliminating Rhino and Monty Brown respectively). Also Team U.S.A. won the World X Cup when Chris Sabin pinned Petey Williams to break the tie. Kevin Nash then destroyed the trophy and Sabin afterwards. Well I feel stupid for ever caring about the prestige of the World X Cup. Nash is hanging out with Shelley. In week two, Nash destroys Senshi after Senshi wins a four-way (way to castrate a newcomer guys).
