ECW will not be posted in Real-Time tonight, as I likely won’t be watching the program until tomorrow morning. We’ve also have a guest reviewer scheduled for tonight’s show, my good friend and “Triumvirate of TN-Awesomeness” bretheren over on the World Wrestling Insanity forums, JT!
We’re gonna kick off our ECW coverage early today. I said during last week’s podcast that I wanted to start doing more content here on BoredWrestlingFan than the show reviews and weekly podcasts, so I guess this is as good of a start as any. A post on the World Wrestling Insanity forums gave me the idea to create this. It seems I wasn’t alone in not liking the new ECW Championship (in all honesty, it’s grown on me in the past week), and at least one person pointed out that they think the belt would look better if the ECW on the main plate were in red. So, I photoshopped it in. Hope you like it, and click on the image for the full view.
I feel a lot better this week, and as such, this Podcast is probably going to sound a little better than last week. I actually recorded it at 1:30 this morning to make sure that I would have it up on time this week. I discuss the past week in professional wrestling, including WWE Night of Champions, and CM Punk winning the World Heavyweight Championship the next night on RAW.

I love it when we get decent world title matches on free TV (though, technically, since I’m paying $105 a month for cable, is it really free?). To be honest, Kaz vs. Samoa Joe was a pretty solid match. Unfortunately for them, they took a back seat to the continuing saga of Kurt and Karen Angle. It used to be funny when I’d type “Hey look, it’s Kurt Angle” on the message boards at World Wrestling Insanity every time he’d be on screen. Hell, at least he was champion back then. Now that Samoa Joe is champion, after beating Kurt Angle for the title, mind you, Joe should be the centerpiece of the program, not curtain jerking while defending his TNA World Title. Hell, the TNA title match took a backseat to LAX vs. James Storm and Robert Roode for the TNA Tag Titles last night. It’s a sad state of affairs to think that the lasting impression from last night’s program isn’t going to be Joe holding up his championship after a hard fought title defense, but instead, the image of Karen Angle, lying in pain on the mat after an attack by Awesome Kong.
