HAHAHA this divas match is awesome. Some pretty stiff shots for a divas match.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

He talked about how he and Batista had a match years ago where Batista bladed. Batista was brought into a room with Vince McMahon and Dean Malenko at the next TV tapings and confronted with tape from a secret ceiling camera that clearly showed Batista blading. Batista paid his $100,000 fine and Jericho's $5,000 fine.

100k fine? :niggapls:

Just catching up with RAW now.

Nothing says Attitude Era garbage like random limousines showing up and the backstage camera there to catch it. Terrible.

Adam Rose doesn't work in a big room.

The NXT crowd is a bit too marky for the same gimmicks to get over like they do there. They love everything (or love to hate) and give the desired reaction for everything.

With that said, there has to be more to Adam Rose than DONT BE A LEMON, BE A ROSEBUDzz!! Gimmick is more shallow than a hot chic thread on MM.

It didn't take VKM long to mock Michael Sam's kiss after being drafted :moonwalk:

Roman Reigns is one of the best CAW names they've ever had...so...they better not.

Man...RAW and the WWE in general has been the drizzling shits lately. Awful summer programs right now.

They are doing everything in their power to make Bryan look like a geek. Evolution = gross. They are debuting a bunch of bums from NXT, and this Bray Wyatt-John Cena feud is so fucking terrible. Even the rise of Cesaro is pretty uninteresting right now.

NXT is pretty shit, too. No one is interesting outside Sami Zayn and for some reason, they refuse to push him. I dig Tyson Kidd, but Neville's title run has been unspectacular, and that is saying it nicely. I'd strap up Tyson Kidd at Takeover. And the rest of the roster is just gross. I DONT GET HYPE, I STAY HYPE...MmmmmmGorgeous...the future dancing Russian...Graves...dollar store Devastation Corporation...just a lot of gross.

At least I got El Torito.

:kanye:

Just watched Extreme Rules. Holy fuck was that Cena-Wyatt match the drizzling shits or what?

Been meaning to watch for the Shield/Evolution match that got nice reviews.. but WWE has sent my fucks given level back to zero with the quickness lately and will probably never get around to it.

Make no mistake, TNA sucks really really bad right now, but they've done exactly what we said they should have done in terms of business. They've let all of the high price talent go, from Hogan and his utterly useless daughter, to The Bisch, to Sting, to Styles, to Kaz & Daniels, etc. They've brought in cheap indie talent looking for break (Wolves, Santana Garrett). They're properly exploiting an international partnership for once with Sanada, and actually pushing a guy who they are splitting the bill on.

This was the blueprint to actually turning a profit, and hopefully seeing new guys get over (The Wolves are the top merch sellers, for example).

If they can get their act together creatively, the break even point is significantly lower these days than it was even a year ago. I don't think ripping TNA for letting guys go (Hernandez is the latest, but that was coming for months as he had heat with the office) is fair. It had to be done.

I have no issues with what TNA is doing, I mean, it all makes sense...it just sucks.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Somebody asked me what the best stuff in TNA has been this year.

I came up with Gail Kim vs Madison Rayne at Lockdown, the Sanada/Tigre Uno 5 minute spot fests, Manik wrestling like 2 times, and a Bully Ray/Anderson hardcore match on Impact.

Is that the most pathetic list of "best" stuff ever?

The match at WM was also the drizzling shits. If I recall, even those who liked the match at WM hated this one. I understand the appeal and why people like Wyatt, but he's just not for me and awful in the ring.

Agree with all points, and it might be a homer statement, but they could have retained Daniels and Kazarian. Tag teams have always done well with TNA and a few years ago, was a main difference between them and WWE. They've let most of those teams go.

TNA doesn't have a single guy that can draw a nickel. It doesn't matter if its Hulk Hogan or Eric Young or Rob Terry under a mask...they are still getting the same number - roughly - weekly. I'm convinced John Cena or The Rock could walk into TNA and merely pop a rating for a few weeks before they fall off the grid.

If they are at least remotely self-aware of that - and clearly someone is, since they refuse to pay anything but a pittance to anyone on the roster no matter how much of a draw you once were - they should at least put on a good show. Their shows are the drizzling shits. Emphasize workrate, ring psychology, good storylines, edgy content, I don't care...pick ONE and roll with it. As is, they have no idea wtf they are doing.

I like watching non-WWE products when they offer something different. I watch PWG for a reason...I know what I am getting...its different...its fun. I love watching Biss' promotion when he uploads the youtube shows...and not because he's that fucko Biss, its because he and his buddies are putting on a product that is different, and fun. I watch DragonGate because its a completely different style. I watch New Japan because its different and emphasizes workrate and prestige in titles.

I couldn't give you a reason I watch TNA on the rare occasions I do outside of...the possible train wreck is appealing?

It is sad that the only alternative to the WWE in the mainstream is within the WWE bubble. WWE gave us the WeeLC match and it was corny as fuck, but it was different then anything they usually do, so it was fun, and I enjoyed.

I blame no one for the way I set my schedule but I hate missing stuff like this now:

3MB is great now that they're JTTS-status and The Shield are awesome as always.

You can't go wrong is short spurts like this and NOT long, drawn-out 6 month B.S. that you'd usually see over stuff like a "harmless" eye poke.
