    Because its a prop...sometimes another character in the program. But never something that is to be valued.

    The WWE wants you to value the WWE brand, nothing inside or outside of it.

    TNA is just, just fucking stupid.

      Regarding Nigel McGuiness, just read a report from PWI that said he's healthy and has been at the last few Impact tapings but just isn't being used.

      Spoilers for those tapings seem to indciate they are doing some of "they" storyline. Again.

      Also read they might be bringing back the Main Event Mafia to fight Fortune. So... yeah...

            Main Event Mafia sucked and it dragged on entirely too long.

              In typical TNA fashion, the MEM was a pretty decent idea that was poorly executed as time went on and then had absolutely no payoff. It elevated no one. Great work, that. Definitely worth bringing back.

              Fucking idiots.

              On to wrestling that doesn't suck... Found a DVD set of the best 100 matches of New Japan in the 1980s. Part of a project that Ditch and a few other puro fans did, apparently. Its only $45.

                It should've been used to propel a lot of younger guys beating the older "MAIN EVENT" guys.

                Unfortunately they won all the belts and beat everyone in sight and then it was over.

                  Match list?

                  I've got origfinal copies of the old "History of the IWGP Title" and "History of the IWGP Jr Title". Each set is like 7 volumes, but most of the matches are clipped. Tremendous stuff, but id like to see those matches unclipped.

                    Shane Helms and Chris Jericho Argue over Shawn Michaels WWE Hall of Fame

                    Starting with Shane Helms:

                    “The HOF is great but I take more pride & comfort in the fact that I’ve never “screwjobbed” ANYONE in life or the biz! $$$ isn’t everything.”

                    Chris Jericho also tweeted, stating this:

                    “Shawn Michaels was my favorite opponent & is the greatest performer of all time.”

                    Helms then replied to Jericho and went off:

                    “BS! Flair did more & got more people over.”

                    “If u got something to say, say it public. Enough ass-kissing. He wasn’t the greatest when he was cussing u out in catering.”

                    “Flair got over people that absolutely SUCKED!! Shawn hadn’t gotten over anyone but himself in the last decade !! ”

                    “I’m sorry being honest comes off bad on Twitter, I’m not hating, I’m stating FACTS!! Facts that I would swear by on my life.”

                    “And wearing a cross doesn’t make u right. Hitler wore one too! Don’t be FOOLED by a TV persona!! I’m always honest. NO ONE can accuse me.”

                    “If the truth hurts and makes u think differently of me, ur entitled to that. No apologies necessary on either side, we’re all just people.”

                    “But ignorance is bliss and I’m not gonna lie to my fans just to sell T-shirts. Wrestling talent is not what I was talking about!!!”

                    “If being a good “sports entertainer” means more to you than being a decent person, then hate on! I’d rather have friends and family.”

                      Don't have yet. Its a project Ditch (my main puro source) helped with. I would hope most of the matches are unclipped. I was actually looking at that IWGP history DVD set and saw every match was clipped.

                      Think I would actually prefer teh All Japan one, though I'd probalby already have almost all of the matches. A top 100 of AJPW for the 90s would be amazing.

                          I'm shocked that none of the Tiger Mask/Dynamite Kid matches are listed. Speechless.

                              Wondered about that too. Then again, I have the series so I'd actually rather have some other New Japan matches on there.
