to download our 07/12/2007 episode now to listen to the 07/12/2007 episode online Unfortunately this update rips the comments being made by the widow of Johnny Grunge, Penny Durham. She is blaming everything for her husband's death except the kitchen sink. Is she doing this to sleep better at night? Maybe she's trying to gain ammunition to make a few bucks off of Dr Astin's negligence? And what if the Benoit family didn't die? She would still be in Atlanta and still silent about her husband's passing after 2 years. You may not like what was said in...

You want to stop the corny ROH esk chants at TNA's Orlando events? Charge these marks $$$ for their tickets. It's not meant to disrespect ROH. ROH fans chant it because they are passionate for their product. TNA fans do it to try and look cool.. Jeff Hardy vs Umaga on Raw was on its way to being top 5 Raw match in years.

Yet they have belts. They must suck a great **** for someone in WWE.. Reason #114 why TNA remains a bush league company: Johnny Stamboli should NOT be doing casual interviews right before a TNA debut as Rellik. You don't see Umaga doing them. You never saw Kane do one...
