I want to echo Dave's comments about the lack of WWE (or UFC) costumes at school. There is a Halloween parade at the school. I saw ZERO professional wrestling costumes at my son's school. The only professional wrestling costume I saw was at my house (see photo).
Jericho and Show worked over Cena for a while together. Cena came back with a bulldog on Jericho but Show caught him with a spear and Jericho gave him a lionsault. Jericho covered but Show pulled him off. Jericho and Show got into an argument and Jericho slapped Show.

HHH in his 40s is obsessed with his spot. He's guy who did not want to make the same mistakes of the old regime, i.e., Hulk Hogan. In the process, the WWE has lost another generation of talent (MVP being the most notable name) who COULD have been somebody, but got lost in the shuffle behind the old gu...
Miz vs Morrison was solid enough, if a little sloppy. The girls had a perfectly competent match. The Smackdown match was fun for the brief time it lasted. The 14 person tag was also fun, but I was hoping for a little more. Cena and Orton had a hell of a match, and the pyro spots had me laughing out loud.
The rest of the show was fun and the show as a whole is a thumbs up but I just think that John Cena and Randy Orton deserve credit for ending this on a really good match. I'm sure somewhere down the line they will fight again because a last match is never a last match in wrestling. But for now it was a ve...
Good opener. A little sloppy in spots. Decent heat. The match ended when Morrison was on the top rope and Miz knocked into the ropes, so Morrison crotched himself and fell into the ring to be pinned. Undertaker vs. C.M. Punk vs. Batista vs. Rey Mysterio for the world title

It just screamed of a desperate plea for TNA to try and manufacture something that WWE does purely because WWE does it, not understanding what WWE did that made it such a success in the first place.
