Honestly, the ECW invasion is the perfect example of what's wrong with TNA at this point. It just shows how TNA seems almost utterly incapable of looking forward - they have an innate need to re-enact the past. No different from them deciding to redo the Montreal Screwjob back in January - for no apparent reason - or bringing back a new version of the "Four Horsemen". Its even more ironic since TNA has to be really careful about using the names "ECW" and "Four Horsemen" since they don't own the copyrights...

If the WWE wanted to be dicks, it would be amusing to see them still do the DiBiase group but name is some variation of the Horsemen... since they actually can...Originally posted by Mike PComment

Guess Kane finally accepted a final run with the world title..Comment

Is there a more useless, tired, played out, boring, redundant, waste of fucking air time in the entire wrestling world than Kane? Seriously, does anyone say to themselves "wow, Kane is wretling? I gotta see that!"?
He's the fucking worst. Instant channel changer/dvr fast forward.Comment

He's been boring since about 1999. Absolutely dreadful.
Also if wanna punch myself in the nuts anytime someone says Mr. Money In The Bank. Ugh and seriously, can anyone have the title for any length of time? Please? Can you at least humor us that the titles actually mean something? They gave Russo shit about it but in the past year - year and a half the WWE creative team has been far worse. At least give us something to suspend disbelief in and actually act like wins mean something or these titles mean something. PLEASE!!Comment

He is a good company guy and they've been wanting to make it up to him for the 1-day title run to for years now...eh, I've seen worse...I don't watch Smackdown anyway...so, its cool by me, do whatever you want.
Oh...and the Miz won...makes up for anything retarded they could have done...like Kane winning the title...in 2010...
At least Kane will retire soon and not be "that guy" that just had the belt for less than 24 hours.Comment

The easiest way to draw money in the wrestling business is to keep titles stgrong and build grudges around them. It worked for a century. Booking 101.
The first time they popped a rating with a hotshot title switch, the game changed, and now they will never go back. Penny smart, dollar dumb. Titles used to be props that drew money, now theyre just props.
Even Japan has resorted to the quickie switches and impatient booking routine. Sad.Comment

If Orton can ramp it up to Diamond Dallas Page proportions as far as the Diamond Cutter/RKO is concerned, I could give a shit when he does it.
The point is to let the audience know that Orton can hit that shit at any point in a match/during a show and kill his opponent(s) DEAD.
My only concern is when the inevitable fuck-up will occur and cost another wrestler a few month's salary because something goes wrong.Comment

But it doesn't make business or historical sense.
You don't bust out that kind of move during a brawl after a main event of a free cable show especially on the go-home show to a PPV.
That'd be like having a Money in the Bank match main eventing Raw and saying "Wasn't THAT awesome, now go drop $50 to just see what you saw!"
That's how I feel with that RKO, if you establish that big time moves, big time matches, main events are on PPV people will buy. If you continue to give away top tier matches, top tier finishes, highlight reel stuff on free TV, there's absolutely no reason for someone to purchase a PPV because by and large they'll start to realize over time they'll get everything they'd get from a $50 WWE PPV on free TV.Last edited by FedEx227; 07-19-2010, 10:01 AM.Comment
