It's a shame the man's over 50 and does yoga for a living now.

I've never been to one either, but I've seen the ones they do at ROH shows. Generally, if its a big star, the line is outrageous and you should at least have something to be signed or be prepaired to buy a 8X10. The indy guys will usually hold a brief convo with fans or pose for a picture and shake you hand. It all depends on the talent. I would suspect Flair would require some type of purchase, and I doubt you'll get any sort of substantial conversation out of him.

I've seen Nigel McGuinness and Bryan Danielson spend a lot of time with people. At the Edison shows, the only bathroom is in the front lobby, so its not uncommon to have Necro Butcher in front of you on line, and Austin Aries taking a leak in the urinal next to you. Not the best time to mark out.

You never hit up bars after ECW shows?

I was underage and my brother took me there when all of the guys would go out drinking.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Nah, I don't drink, I would go straight home. Never even thought to do that.

I went to the fan fest before the ROH show on WM in Houston two years ago. While I was there, it was Jimmy Hart and the Nasty Boys, Diamond Dallas Page, Samoa Joe, and Christie Hemme. Booker T wandered through and apparently Mick Foley and Sting were both their just a few hours before. I think you had a buy a $20 ticket to get into the autograph line, then pay another $20 to get something signed by any of them. It was supposedly like $100 or $150 to even get to see Foley and Sting. I was only interested in Joe and he let me jump the long ass line to get him to sign an ROH DVD. Only got to talk to him for a moment, but it was cool. Found out I'm thicker through the shoulders and chest than he is...

I was 15-16, I didn't drink either, but my brother has his friends did...there was a good number of them that went out together after the shows. It was pretty cool as a kid.

Anyone going to watch the new Lucha Libre USA show on MTV?

[Warner2BruceTD]

Did anyone see Superstars?

Yoshitatsu vs. Primo
Hart Dynasty vs. Usos

Were these two matches any good? Should I seek this out?

[SHOGUN]

I feel like punting a small child.

The Impact Zone is full of idiots.

There is such an obvious plot hole to the whole Mystery Biker (who is CLEARLY Tara). They're playing up that no one knows who she is, but all you have to do is take off the helmet. Fuck this company.

Kevin Nash/Jeff Jarrett feud is the most confusing feud I've seen in a long time, maybe ever. Even the Impact Zone is confused and don't know who to cheer for and they cheering for EVERYTHING. We know nothing about why they are truly beefing and we still haven't established who's the good and bad guy yet. Both of them are saying babyface and heels hit all while saying absolutely nothing. I guess they're trying to force a feud....? It's really really bad so far and I doubt it gets any better.

TNA is starting to make my head hurt. I'm about to start watching WWE again.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Try Lucha Libre USA tonight. Can't be any worse.

I love Vince Russo.

[SHOGUN]

At this point, I'm enjoying TNA Xplosion so much more than Impact simply because it's not bogged down by so much shit. Sure it only has mid-tier wrestlers, but it does have:

- More relaxed atmosphere.
- Good wrestling.
- NO SHITTY STORIES.
- A toned down Tazz.

I'm willing to look past Rosie Lottalove's appearances for that.

[SHOGUN]

TNA needs to stop putting the good talent on the sidelines for these old, hardly working guys and bogging down the talent they do use with such bad writing. Streamline the goddamn roster and let the kids wrestle.

W2B, I'll check out Lucha Libre tonight - after ROH.
