-I gave last week’s TNA Impact a C+ grade.

-Friday’s WWE Smackdown finished with A as the top grade in our post show poll with 34 percent of the vote. B finished second with 27 percent of the vote each. I gave the show a B grade, although I seemed to enjoy The Rock and Cody Rhodes segment more than many of my peers.

-Monday’s WWE Raw finished with A as the top grade in our post show poll with 38 percent of the vote. B finished second with 32 percent of the vote. I gave the show a B+ grade.
