I may be mistaken here, but Shane's vision was always pretty good.. I think him not liking the way things were going was probably a big contributor of him leaving the company.

Let's be honest...Mr. H's first signings, while, kinda flops, are guys Vince probably never would have signed...a small flippy bastard and a fat black chick...*shrugs*

Honestly, this is why I'm not too upset Shane left. While I think he's saner than Stephanie about this stuff, putting HHH in the position that Shane likely would've had will likely mean a better product.

He's proven that he has a good mind for the business. It'll be interesting to see where things go from here.

I was listening to a podcast with some former WWE writes, and FWIW they were saying that when Shane would chime in with ideas in creative meetings it would usually result in awkward silence and eye rolling.

I've been ripping Mistico to shreds, and I knew it was a bad fit from the start, but I will give HHH credit for going after proven commodities instead of bodybuilders and models.

He signed the guy who was the best draw in the world for nearly two years, who was a MEGA star in a market that they are trying to dominate, and he signed am atypical female wrestler who is universally praised for being an outstanding worker and top notch performer who has paid her dues all over the globe.

I think HHH has the right idea, but one got preggers and the other needs to get off the juice. Bad luck. His next big move looks to be Kings Of Wrestling. He's going after talented veterans who deserve the spots. So I do like what i've seen from that perspective.

Considering how bad the writers have been those rollin eyes probably work in Shane's favour in terms of good ideas.

True.

However, this was Lagana and that whole crew, basically the guys who come from wrestling and got frustrated and quit.

Vince always seemed to favor Steph, for whatever reason.

Shane is the adopted one in the family, Stephanie isn't.

I literally spit out soda when I read Melina was denied entry into the building at RAW. She should have laid low for a while before traveling with Morrison, it only makes him look bad. Of course, nothing makes you look worse than Batista plowing your GF and you doing nothing about it. He should do a cuckold gimmick.

Batista would have killed him in a real-life fight. Morrison should have just dumped the bitch and moved on. It's not like he can't do better.

Oh, dave.

When another man plows your GF, and everyone knows it, especially in that environment, you HAVE to confront him. Even if Big Dave whooped his ass, Morrison would have ended up gaining respect. Instead, he pretended it didn't happen, and gets laughed at like he's a joke.

And another thing, you don't know for sure who would have won a fight if it came to that. If MMA has taught people anything over the last 20 years, it's that muscles don't equal tough. Brian Pillman used to beat up guys twice his size, and was such a bad ass Sid f'n Vicious backed down from him. Chris Jericho reportedly went to a "draw" with Goldberg and more than held his own. Plus Batista got his ass kicked by Booker T in what everyone described as a completely one sided ass whipping (granted, Booker T is a pretty big dude who grew up in the streets and did prison time, but still).

Point taken.

Rememben when Scott Steiner disrespected Kimberly Page, and DDP called him out and proceeded to get his ass kicked?

DDP is NOT a cuckold.

I guess I'm just a coward. Who knew? LOL

The former Generation Me did an interview talking about their decision to leave TNA. They said there was a number of reasons, the main being they weren’t being used as much as they liked and their contract was on a per-date basis. They weren’t used for a month so they were sitting around making no money. Matt’s wife was pregnant and Nick just bought a house. They noted about being frustrated with how they were used. They said they had no problems being split up and feuding, and were told it was building to a cage match and Lockdown, but then the angle was just dropped cold. They said it was a bad sign when the agents for the company, when asked, had no idea if they were supposed to be heels or faces. They said they would rather go on the indie scene where they could control their bookings, work the dates they want and know how many dates they were working per month, so they could budget their money better. “There is just no continuity so the fans don’t know what too get behind so there is really nothing to cheer for because they don’t know what’s going on. They don’t know who the babyfaces or the heels are so it’s really hard for people to get into the product.” They said the whole deal on TV wants to push the X Division, in their idea, was a work. “On Impact they say, `Yeah, we’re rebranding the X Division,’ but let’s face it, they say that once a year and it doesn’t happen.” Regarding WWE, Nick doesn’t want to be on the road that much s he’s not too thrilled about it, but they did the “Never say never” answer, just saying ROH is a better fit for them. Stylistically, it’s a far better fit as their size would greatly work against them, as would their style, in WWE, which would try and completely change how they work.

A fucking shame how TNA just dropped the brotherly feud. That was actually really good.

Paragraphs are your fucking friend, W2BTD (W2B4TD).

I need to know more wrestling back-stage brawls/call outs/spouse stealing. Bring the goods, W2B.
