is mr anderson going to tna??

I think you can bank on that.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Wrestling over there is much different as well.

Yup.

It's still good.

 

[Liquidrob]

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Cyborg and Cyborg look like brother and sister.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Iron Sheik, another guy born 30 or 40 years too early.

A very good amatuer wrestler, and behind the scenes a very respected shooter and locker room enforcer in his day. Would have been a very good MMA prospect in another era.

 

[dave]

Ted DiBiase would have been a great one in this era.

Arn Anderson too.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

What I meant, was Sheik is the type of guy who would have went into MMA if he was a young man today.

 

[BigBiss]

Ted DiBiase would have been a great one in this era.

Arn Anderson too.

Both guys had there shots, Not sure Arn would have done alot as not fliars lackey

Arn looked 40 when he was 20.

Arn looked 40 when he was 30.

Arn looked 40 when he was 40.

Arn looked 40 when he was 50.

Arn will look 40 when he's 60.

Arn would have never gone anywhere in today's scene, despite being a superlative promo guy and better than average worker. He isnt 6'4" 250, he was seemingly going bald from birth, and he dosen't have the TV look that Vince has conditioned his audience to accept as what a pro wrestler should look like.

The best comparison for Arn in this era would be Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore, or more obvious, CW Anderson.

all agree with Dinsmore minus the happy pills. Dinsmore is the Matt Borne of our gerneration though. Arn was just good enough to jump on being paired with Ole and not Sinking, Paired with Tully and held his owne and by then he was Fliars sidekick.

heh my shitty camera phone pic w/ So Cal Val

Other than that the PPV was a complete and utter disappointment.

 

[Bigpapa42]

There are some interesting rumors coming out today about Jeff Jarrett and his role with TNA. Apparently Dixie Carter has put him on "leave" and there is some serious tension between JJ and Kurt Angle. JJ is apparently shacked up with Karen Angle and the kids, but there may be more to it than that.

TNA is a strange place.

 

[BigBiss]

Allegedly Angle won't re-up with TNA if Double J is still in a position of power, his contract is reportedly up in September so Dixie has a decision to make pretty quickly. Also saw rumors of Kurt getting Jeff's spot on the creative team.

That could go along way in inproving the product

but they need to shit can Dutch

Nothing says wrestling like Jeremy Piven...

I don't know if I'm in the minority but this guest host shit is getting on my nerves. Instead of trying to un-stale your product by bringing in a new celebrity every week how about spicing up the main event a little?

or getting back to a more teired roster system. Main event, upper mid, mid, opener, jobber vs the Guys that matter / guys that will be endevered by next mania system they seem to have now.

NOAH

It's a really big fucking deal when you finally beat someone above your level, especially in a singles match.

When Atsushi Aoki tapped out KENTA in a tag match last week, it elevated him better than anything WWE does to get guys over.

Imagine that, getting guys over in pro wrestling using pro wrestling matches. Brilliant.

Wins and losses mean nothing in Pro wrestling ... unless you make them mean something

any one else following the DGUSA deal. Gabe is seeming more and more like a bitter prick to me. but what ever I hope this takes off

Anyone remember this and the angle behind it? It actually being "The Roadie" Aka Road Dogg aka Kip James. Awesome song..

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Dirk Ziggler is terrible.

Chinlock. Reverse chinlock. FULL NELSON. Chinlock. Make silly faces. Chinlock. FULL NELSON.

This guy is like Randy Ortonbot, the sequel.

No wonder the E is pushing him, he works the same boring resthold style as all the other top guys.
