Superb news for the sport in this country:

The Irish Curse!.. Wrestler Seamus O’Shaughnessy has signed a three-year deal to join the WWE. Seamus, known as The Irish Curse, from Cabra, Dublin, will fly to Florida to start training with the grappling gang next month. The 6ft 6in, 20 st giant said: “It’s a dream come through.” He’s looking forward to climbing into the ring with US wrestling stars. But he admits: “It will be the hardest challenge of my life.”
I just hope Seamus stays true to his roots. I can imagine him fighting in a back outfit and acting like he’s just another Average Joe American. It would take real courage for him to be proud of his Irishness and try and make a living in spite of the obvious drawbacks that would have for him from a publicity point of view.
I see Hornswoggle the Lil Bastard has been declared as Mr. McMahon’s illegitimate son. Quite amusing.
Quality. Was going to stay up to watch it live last night but didn’t in the end.
Can’t access wwe.com in work but it was first thing on my list to check when I get home.
Hornswaggle greeting his father:

If only Mr Kennedy hadn’t been on the juice clean they would have used him as this conclusion is rather weak. Suppose Little bastard was Hornswoggles original name so who knows maybe this was planned a year ago.
Get the wrestling watched - it’s on Sky Sports 3 now. Mr McMahon’s illegitimate son is about to be revealed after a 5 week build up in the next few minutes so the scenes with Hornswaggle should be classic.
Classic line from Santino Marella there when addressing the audience:
‘It’s a very sad week for all us Italian people having lost Luciano Pavarotti, the greatest tenor in the world. But at least he went before The Condemned starring Stone Cold Steve Austin came out on DVD.’
This week’s Raw really is off the hook, off the chain, especially when Beth Phoenix laid out Candice Michelle just there and you could see right down Candice’s bikini top.
Is it just me or is TNA so much better than WWE? Although CM Punk is pure class and John “I look like Jim” Morrison.
Where can I watch TNA?
It does be on Bravo or Bravo2, dont know what times or anything. They also show PPVs(not live unfortunately) on Sundays.
Bravo is always good for alternative wrestling. Back in the day ECW used to be on it.

It’s just you. TNA is rubbish. Christian is frequently battling for the World Title. Nuff said.
Christian is brilliant in TNA though. Fantastic on the mic.
Samoa Joe, Aj Styles, The Fallen Angel etc all brilliant wrestlers
Kurt Angle defended three titles last Sunday. The World Championship, the X-Division Championship and the Tag Team Championship with Sting.
Look at the roster in TNA…
Bob Backlund is there. I read a while ago he was on it but haven’t actually seen him on it yet.

Others I forgot to mention earlier that are brilliant: Chris Sabin and Sonjay Dutt.
And of course my favourite tag team ever are there. BG James and Kip James aka The New Age Outlaws.
I was watching Raw last night and it was classic stuff yet again. Mr McMahon tried to have Hornswaggle adopted out in the squared circle by a childless couple, the Coskeys. He had the legal papers ready and the Coskeys and their lawyer strode out to the ring to sign. However, Hornswaggle reacted by pulling Mr Coskey’s trousers down, knocking him over and then splashing on top of him. He then ran after Mrs Coskey, grabbed her from behind and started biting into her ass. The Coskeys ran off to the refuge off the backstage area so Hornswaggle remains a McMahon for now. It was off the hook, off the chain.

The Road Dogg and Mr. Ass were indeed very cool. Both had drug issues though didn’t they? Does XPac wrestle these days? He’s soem loser. I believe Chyna got a restraining order against him.
What kinda money are TNA wrestlers on relative to WWE Flano?
Seamus O’Shaughnessy made his television debut as ‘Sheamus’ on ECW last night. Congratulations to the Dublin man - tremendous news for Irish wrestling.
An FCW invasion on ECW last night it seems.
Who else showed up Flano?
I haven’t read up about it - just got an email from an overjoyed Irish grappling fan telling me about Sheamus.
3 other lads Yoshitatsu, Abraham Washington and FCW champion Tyler Reks. I’ve only seen their pictures on the FCW website. I’ve never seen them in ring.
