Not to mention the announcements paid for by the New World Order. Buying TV time is totally plausible, while getting TNA to constantly work with you in trying to destroy...themselves...not so much. Wait, that makes more sense than anything. TNA has always been it's own worst enemy. Total swerve. Mind blown.

I forgot that their backstage promos were always disguised as commercials with the that they paid for it. Good call, yeah, totally. Fuck 2013 "DESTROY DA COMPANY" angles.Comment

WCW was dong a lot right before 1999 or so. It wasn't an accident that they managed to beat Vince for a couple of years. It had very little to do with money. The money helped, but they were presenting a product people dug with good booking & a hot angle Bischoff was smart enough to scoop from Japan and make his own.Comment

Also a W2B wrestling PSA...
If you aren't watching Main Event, start.
Main Event & NXT give you the kind of wrestling show that everybody here always says they want. Main Event always gives you a solid 20+ minute workrate match, plus one or two other shorter ones with ZERO fluff or bullshit. See larry's NXT thread to see what that's all about.
give me...5 matches from the past...month+ that I can watch to get me into the swing of things.
GO.Comment

Just saw Ricardo Rodriguez go Full Retard after the Del Rio/3MB no-contest with a top rope plancha to the floor.
It all led up to Ziggler v. Del Rio for Monday but it was good to see El Local show his stuff for a short few seconds.Comment

That's not me being lazy. The main events get a legit 20+ minutes, sometimes more. And it's always the workhorse types like Cesaro, Sheamus, Bryan, etc.
Lance Storm was on with Bryan Alvarez and said when he was backstage in Calgary last week, a lot of the guys noted to him that they LOVE seeing their name on the Main Event board, because they know they'll get time and a chance to put together some really cool matches.
It's not like NXT because the show doesn't have self contained stories or anything. It's just two or three wrestling matches every week. No interviews. No backstage shenanigans. Nothing but in ring action.
Cesaro vs Sheamus was tits this past week. Hard hitting, really great stuff.

I'm assuming the WCW Mark Starr, who teamed with Chris Kanyon? Good worker, solid as fuck jobber to the stars. Starr & Kanyon were a fun team, worked WCW Saturday Night a lot. I think he was Chris Champion's brother.Comment

Alex Silva was at the tapings but arrived late which is why his match with Sam Shaw didn’t take place and they did the phantom angle where Silva was beaten up by Aces and 8s in the parking lot.Comment

In Japan, among the wrestlers, Keiji Muto and Tetsuya Naito have the insider reputation as the best at putting together a match. In WWE, Edge used to be considered one of the best by his peers. Of the current group, Jericho and Punk have the rep and Bryan is getting it. I used to think Bryan was fantastic at match layout in his ROH days. Bryan’s work with Reigns on Smackdown was really impressive and the fact he always has good matches against everyone, even Ryback, speaks volumes. Undertaker has the rep as well because he’s Undertaker. Cena’s rep is that he asks the right questions, totally understands what is needed, but lets the heels do a lot of it and lets Arn Anderson, who is his agent, come up with a lot of his stuff. Of the newer guys, Ambrose is starting to develop a good rep. HHH, Mysterio and Michaels also have good reps in this regard.Comment
