A lot has been said about the tag team division lately. TNA's champions The Dudley Boyz have criticized WWE's weak division. And what they say is very true. It would probably be disbanded if it wouldn't cause such an outrage among the fans especially the traditionalist. The Raw and Smackdown brand unified the titles at Wrestlemania in a match that wasn't even seen on the ppv itself instead they decided to make it an extra for people who buy the dvd.
While WWE usually ignores TNA's criticisms. It certainly looked like this week WWE listened with several tag matches. Not to mention the 10 man tag main event on Raw. ECW, Vince's weakest brand, seems to be pushing the new hart foundation, Cryme Tyme got plenty of air time this week, and perhaps and interesting scenairio when Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Hass, who have been fighting in singles competion for quite some time reunited this week. I don't know if they're planning to keep them together full time or not but the fact that they fought together not just once but twice this week does make me wonder. Back in the days of Team Angle they were a very very good team. Not to say there's anything wrong with the current champions The Colons, but they do need some more established teams like TNA does with the Dudleys, Motorcity Machine Guns, Beer Money, The British Invsion, and Lethal Consequences.

WWE vs. NBA part 2
In a follow-up to my last post. WWE Monday night Raw found a new home for there show this coming Monday. Ironically at the Staples Center in Los Angeles where the Lakers play. The main event that night will be a 10 man tag match where the 5 heels, lead by Randy Orton, will be wearing Denver Nugget jerseys and the 5 heroes, lead by Batista, will be wearing Lakers gear.
In a possible switch of plans originally Ric Flair was going to call out Randy Orton that night. It looks now as though Vince McMahon himself is going to be doing the calling out as he is still furious at the Denver Nuggets owner. He plans on calling him out. Even though I think it's pretty obvious he won't show with his team playing in Denver that night. WHATEVER Vince!

WWE vs. NBA
Why am I still doing this? Well I like doing it! Even if Kirsty and maybe Marcie are the only ones reading this anymore I can't ignore this story about the double booking at the Pepsi Center in Colorado....
The buzz surrounding the conflict for next Monday night in Denver with Raw scheduled to run at the Pepsi Center and the Nuggets and Lakers scheduled to play Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference Finals at the same time, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon appeared on ESPNEWS to talk about the situation. Jonathan Coachman conducted the interview with his former boss. Coach mentions that Vince is never one to step down from a fight. Coachman mentions that next week’s Raw at the Pepsi Center was booked in August, but the contract was not signed until April. Vince says that Stan Kroenke should be arrested for impersonating a good businessman for booking a WWE television show when their team would not have been in the playoffs. Vince suggests that the fans of the Nuggets had more faith in the team than their management. Vince says that it is not good business to not support your own team. It is also not good business to throw the WWE out on its ear when there were no tentative dates or provisions in the contract that they signed. Coach mentions a statement from the Nuggets that they were trying to deal with the conflict. Coachman asks Vince what they are trying to do to work things out and Vince suggests a steel cage match against Kroenke. He says that it will settle everything. Coach asks if Vince will be in Denver on Monday. Vince says that the WWE trucks are on the way to Denver and it looks like there are going to be two events in the Pepsi Center. Vince says that the person at fault is Stan Kroenke. Vince says that it is unfair for the way that he treated the Nuggets fans and the WWE. He says that it is not fair to book the WWE event at the same time as the NBA playoffs. Vince holds up a Lakers shirt and says that he wants to personally give it to Mr. Kroenke. Coachman asks Vince if they will go to the NBA to resolve this problem. Vince says that NBA put it back in the Nuggets’ court because the Nuggets never presented it to the NBA as a booked date for scheduling purposes. Vince McMahon came off well while it seemed at times that Vince was cutting a promo with the number of times that he mentioned Stan Kroenke’s name. It looks like it could be a very eventful Memorial Day in Denver
