An 'I quit' match is just a submission match variant involving a microphone. Furthermore that wasn't an I quit match, the term hadn't been developed for Wrestling then, it was a no DQ submission match (as opposed to the more classic submission match where weapon use is frowned upon)

As a TNA fan, it pains me to say that Russo is not booking that badly at the moment.
TNA have been getting higher and higher ratings as of late and their UK viewing figures have been rising. This would not happen if booking was bad.
Everyone goes off on a "ANTI RUSSO" rant once in a while as they feel it is "Dirty" to think of liking his work yet most look back at the atitude era and acknowledge it as one of the best which also happened to get the higher ratings.
Russo's biggest booboo in my opinion was the Sting casket match a few years ago, other than that, he has been pretty solid I think.
If TNA need to fire Russo then WWE need to fire their entire team of "Writers".

Great Raw apart from the Divas but i've come to expect it, there great to watch if your not looking at the moves 
Ending to Raw was superb also, Cena getting a beatdown is always welcomed with both arms by me. As soon as DX music hit i thought oh great here we go, a complete 30 second squash of Legacy but props to them, they finally lay down for the ending of a show.
Not quite sure why Orton RKO'd Dusty and was staring at Cody like that but it leaves us hanging for next week. Finally a good Raw!!

I think it was for making the match between him and Cody in the first place....
And lets not forget, he's the....
LEGEND KILLER

But he clearly made the match so they could all get the beatdown on Cena, they were never going to fight that was all just an act.
(Legend Killer) Thats my only option i can think it relates too, Orton is the Legend Killer but they haven't pushed that angle for ages now. Ahhh i dunno, just great to see Orton and Legacy finally standing tall at the end of a show for once.
rypt hijacking puter and posting under my name!!!!!!!!
*** Spoilers for RAW DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT***
Thought it was a poor raw and pretty pointless, coulda been classed as a one off really it didn't advance any rivalries/storylines at all.
I would say half decent special guest this week, but only because it was a half of famer and not a "celebrity" and it started out really well as well.................. but i'll get to the end later. (was shank btw)
MVP v Jerich
Big show V Mark Henry
Both pretty pointless, there facing each other as a tag so why they had single matchs just seemed pretty stupid, they could have at least had a tag match vs each other or vs someone else then 1 team interferes causing a better rivalry.
Divas - Usual gimmicky type match, of which i had no interest.
Chavo V Hornswoggle - is this the 579th time they've fought? it seems like it cause its that damn boring, and imo its making the RAW brand look like a circus act, every week with a retarded costume and hornswoggle waddling around grunting like a pig.
Pretty rubbish DX segment, again imo making WWE seem desperate to make money.
Kingston v Swagger v Miz v Carlito - Awesome match!!! Don't really like Kingston as champ cause he just doesn't seem to have any personality or Mic work. But this match was brilliant and well worked by all, deffintly setup and affirmed characters like the MIZ, hiding round the ring waiting for opportunities, and the end was class!!! 3 finishers inside 30 seconds, it was awesome
Orton v Rhodes - Really had my hopes up they would actually do this, like they did with dibiase but no, they had to go and do the same thing they did when Piven was guest host, which for me basically ruined all the hype for the entire show. Orton sucks as champ and has been pushed way to much hes boring on the MIC and is basically expression less, a mean hes not "evil" in a good heel kind of way he just stands there like a plank.
I would have given it to Rhodes then let them have a mini feud between all 3 of them, then given it back to orton but had dibiase and rhodes mess with him, proper lay the beat down on him for a few weeks.
All in all i give it 6/10
It only gets past a 5 cause of the kingston match.

Are you kidding? Orton is the best thing in the WWE at the moment by a LONG way. Expression less? Not Evil in a good kind of heel way? We really must be watching two completely different people as Orton is a superb heel. Boring on the mic, have you even listened to one of his promos? Hes excellent on the mic.
Well obviously i have listened to his promo's as i watch the program haha. and yes to me they are very boring, tell you who he reminds me of.... that really boring priest out of father ted, the one with the monotmous (sp) voice its just dead boring the same tone and he rambles on blah blah blah blah.
When he stares at the crowd, tell me what expression is that? its not an expression because he doesn't move, he doesn't even work the crowd up apart from his usual entrance boo's theres no reaction, no anti orton chants nothing.
Now Edge, thats how you work the MIC hes far better at antaganising the crowd.
Orton was better on the mic during the Rated RKO time than he is now
Edge completely goes over the top, its like hes at amateur acting school; yes hes good but makes me think whoa whats he on, speed?
The crowd rarely actually propperly Boo Orton now, hes a tweener, people appriciate how good he actually his in the ring and on the mic; he's the full package. The amount of RKO chants are rising! His jaw clenching, his stares, he has facial expressions, just subtle and not over the top, his whole persona is calm and collected for the most part.
This maybe true somewhat, but he is still great on the mic. He's up there with the best in the business at the moment, Jehrico.
Double figure four leglock win for DX on the announce tables?
Or if WWE want to **** of Canada some more (since BP is in Montreal), double sharpshooter (as both HHH and HBK can do it)
Couple of pages back, he beat you to it
