Daniel Bryan history piece from WWE.com

http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/history-of-daniel-bryan-part-one

Other than saying Dean Ambrose "helped build ROH" (he never worked there), pretty accurate, even talking about the Morishima feud and Nigel McGuinness.

Part II is tomorrow.

 

[Derrville]

Mickie will focus on her music before returning to TNA in 6 months.

if there is a TNA in 6 months ... hopefully she will move on to something more profitable ... like delivering Pizza

TNA +/-

+TNA needs to have more TJP matches. He'll get a respectable 5-7m out of most everyone on the roster.
+Heel Sabin might have some legs.
+Heel Dixie has some potential. Perhaps Vickie Guerrero without any charisma.

-Faction Warz need to go...it takes up 75% of the show...MainEvent Mafia, EGO, Aces n 8's...get rid of them all. At least it looks like A+8's looks like its just about done.

Also...did Mike Knox fuck around and have the best promo of his career?

 

[s@ppisgod]

Faction wars sucks, as usual. But I like EGO. It's a solid group, it just has to deal with a lot of shit around it.

There are a few potential decent aspects of TNA, but its not noticed when 75% of the show is still lingering in Facti0n Warz.

It seems most of this shit will be over soon though...Aces + 8's is about coming to an end, MEM has no one left, and EGO, while just started, could disband at any time and the focus is off that anyway...it looks like they'll either drop it all together or have one last match at BFG between perhaps what is left of A+8's (Brisco, Bischoff, Knux), v. EGO v. MEM or something like that.

Heel Sabin and TJP in the X-Division isn't too shabby. I think the best way to fill a half quarter segment for TNA every week is to have TJP v. some X-Division worker of the week that they fly in.

Styles v. Dixie is going to be the main program going forward. Its not a bad concept (although ripped and done many times before very recently in the WWE), unfortunately, no one involved can carry the feud on the mic.

The chicks are being put to use as valets for the most part minus the one token chicks match per week.

There are a few little positive things in there...my enthusiasm is curbed, but hey, a little light is light nonetheless. That kick in the balls Warner talked about, its not a full swift kick with some of the positive things in there.

Nothing none of us haven't seen before with DDP / Scott Hall / Jake the Snake...but the story has made HBO.

 

[s@ppisgod]

HBO Sports knows how to shoot a piece. Hall should be worked over pretty good by the worms already. Living on borrowed time doesn't even begin to describe it. Kinda cool that they watch old tapes. I know all the oldies wax nostalgic, but I didn't know they re-watch the old days like a lot of the fans do. It is severely depressing seeing, say, a tag team match where 3 of the 4 guys are dead. Especially watching WCW, you see Benoit and Nancy on there all the time, in addition to the usual body count. The question on DDP's profit is valid, but he does seem very genuine. Tough to tell where his charity stops and business begins though.

Eh, they are his long time buddies, Hall and Jake, plus he has numerous other people living with him and gives classes for free. Obviously he wants to turn a nice profit with DDP Yoga and become some kind of Jack LaLanne meets Tony Robbins character on good living, but I'm sure there is some genuine charity he's doing as well. Its sad that we are so used to wrestlers being carny con men that when one is doing a good thing for people, we automatically think he's trying to work everyone.

ROH iPPV is on gofightlive right now, live & free. Death Before Dishonor. World title tournament semis and final, Forever Hooligans defend IWGP Jr Tag titles against the American Wolves.

Just came here to post that.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

If ROH doesn't put the belt on Adam Cole tonight, they fucked up.

Have him cheat to beat Elgin...beat up Jay Briscoe after...whatever...run with'em.

 

[SuperKevin]

Scott Hall is wrestling a show here for Maryland Championship Wrestling in November. I wish I was still in town to go

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

ROH stream has been A+ so far (as I knock on wood).

Adam Cole / Ciampa was quite good.
Elgin / Steen was alright...felt very slow.

AmWolves v. Hooligans up now.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Warner, are you going to put up a review of DBDXI?

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Having some stream hiccups after the IWGP Tag Match.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Intermission came and went...got the RD Evans/Adam Page segment...now back to more stream issues.

Can't a man fap to Veda Scott without having stream issues?

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I was going to write a review larry, but the feed has been dogshit since the intermission so I guess not.

At least it's not just me. I missed most of the Ricky Marvin match, and all of Robert Evans. And now all of ACH.

But of course I get to see SILAS FUCKING YOUNG.

Oh well.

If you were going to write a review, I was going to suggest we can both put our two cents on it...but I missed all of the Ricky Marvin match and all of this 8-man tag...but damnit, I get RD Evans jobber match and BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs.

:rambo:

Yeah, would have been a good idea, alternate perspectives. I have some notes, but collectively we've missed too much and the feed appears dead. I tap out.
