Whover is your graphic designer, give him a raise. That is an incredibly efficient and eye catching flyer

[FedEx227]

Very clean and eye-catching good stuff on that poster.

He gave Kenely shit way before he was in Aces and 8's...his schtick as the heel announcer isn't even really the problem...because he sucks at that, too, and isn't consistent. He's all over the place and constantly loses focus on his schtick. Fucking brutal. He also doesn't know wtf is going on most of the time, misspeaks and has a ton of botchamania worthy cutups weekly, forgets shit he's talking about mid-way through saying it.

Tenay is bad, but Taz is the WOAT. Seriously, as a broadcaster, he's fucking garbage...and this is coming from a big Taz, the wrestler, fan...as an announcer, he makes Jerry Lawler look like Howard Cosell.

He also is constantly staring off in another direction when they show the announce table, like he isn't even paying attention to what's going on.

You guys, he's trying to destroy the company!

I love when Tazz praises non Aces & 8s heels when he should be against everyone in TNA.

TNA cuts Doug Williams & Alex Silva.

Williams was almost never used on TV or PPV and was the veteran hand in developmental.

Silva was accidentally hired when Ric Flair thought Gut Check was a shoot and gave him a yes vote based on a spirited promo when he was supposed to vote no. At least they gave him a chance. He was in developmental over in OVW this whole time, and made a few main show appearances lately in the taped PPV's & Gut Check winner tournament.

I liked Doug Williams. He reminded me of Dave Finlay

From the I Heart Dragon blog:

7/4/2013 Tokyo, Korakuen Hall
-Akira Tozawa vs. Shingo Takagi
-GAORA Dragon Gate Mugendai ~Infinity~ 300th Broadcast Commeoration Special - Open Lottery 10 Man Tag Match: CIMA, Masaaki Mochizuki, Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Jimmy Susumu, Don Fujii, Naruki Doi, YAMATO, Masato Yoshino, BxB Hulk, Uhaa Nation
*Teams will be decided at bell time
**If Ricochet wins the Open the Dream Gate title on 6.16 he will be added to the match, along with one other participant to make it a 12 man tag.

Nothing new to the card except for the long match title and bit about Ricochet being added if he wins the title. However, there is another bit of big news.

This show was scheduled for a live broadcast on GAORA. Additionally, for the first time ever, there will also be a live broadcast both on the NicoNico Douga and USTREAM streaming services!

Details will follow in the days to come.

From the latest observer....spoiler for the plan towards MITB in case somebody does not want to know

 

Meltzer writes that while plans may change, plans are:

to have Daniel Bryan main event opposite Cena in Philly at MITB...as a face.

They recognize Cena will be boo'd regardless there and Bryan will be cheered like a madman there, so they idea is to have Cena come off like a legend or however he put it with big wins against Rock, Ryback and then have a classic match with Bryan.

All things considered, while not perfect, it'd still be bad ass.

Could end up being a breakout match for the guy in the spoiler, and i'm betting a MOTY contender because the other guy likes him and will work really hard to help elevate him.

Check out whats happening at my local county fair

Warner let me know the link to that Ustream of DG when you find it. Awesome stuff.

Doug Williams is quite good.

Alex Silva was trash.

Zero doubt in my mind it will be a MOTY contender. He did the same thing for CM Punk two years ago.

That nigga ain't got a single problem doing the job...respect him for that.
