Meh, I didn't think the "X Division on Revolt" angle wasn't so bad. They are setting up for an all X-Division PPV soon. Now if that was clearly an isolated incident and not developed on, then sure it looks terrible, but I doubt it.

Believe it or not, manchild, Rob Terry is actually much better now than he was when he started in TNA. He was amazingly stiff early on.

Mexican-America is such a hokey faction, but I always look forward to their segments. Mostly for Sarita and Rosita. :yep:

I caught TNA last night and it looks stupid. A bunch of dumbass camera angles and stuff. Was nice to see BUBBAH DUDLEY but looks stupid.

this is what Im talking about, if this guy is bad now and is there, and you are saying he was much worse and was there. What fuck are they doing?

Id love to see their books. With these contracts to guys like Hogan, Flair, Sting, Nash ect and 500 people in the stands where are they making from.

TNA started to hire kids fresh out of the Dudley Boyz's wrestling school - Terry and Ink Inc's Jesse Neal were the first - but that stopped once one of their female talents crippled and almost killed Daffney in a tryout match. Amazingly, they still hired her and gave her a brief TV run before she botched herself out of the company.

Yeah, they mostly only make money in house shows and meet and greet BS. The don't do enough PPVs outside of Orlando, and even the ones they do are heavily papered.

And man, Vince must love giving Christian the shaft. That was a dick move.

I'm *hoping* they turn Christian, and that this is a part of it. He was always a good heel, and a good, longish heel run with the belt would be great for him, and SD, actually.

A slow heel turn could do him well. Have him win the belt back at Survivor Series, and he could potentially headline WM.

If he doesn't get the belt back, though... what a waste.

The PPVs should be free on TV too.
That Jeff Hardy-Sting debacle should be the end of TNA. What a joke.

ROHWrestling.com is running a 45% OFF sale on ALL DVDs in stock.

Sale ends Wednesday morning, so if you've been thinking about picking something up, now's a good time to do it.

Lol Kurt Angle apparently attempting to qualify for the Olympics again..

TNA star Kurt Angle is saying on Twitter that he is currently training for the Olympics, presumably the 2012 games from London. Angle is of course a former Olympic gold medalist, capturing amateur wrestling's top prize in the 1996 games from Atlanta. Here's what Angle wrote on Sunday @AngleFoods1:

"much negativity goin round @ Olympic comeback.I truly am getting ready.Don't compare it to my Ufc- mma attempts,We couldn't agree on "terms"

"Terms that were about $ and starting dates.Olympics will be on My "terms". Nobody elses'.It's not for Publicity or I would tweet it everyday"

"To the naysayers, believe what U want. But "I" am in control of this. Nobody else. My nephew and I started training for it."

"As long as I stay injury free,I am going for it.Tna's backing Me.It won't be easy. Probably harder than Mma. But at least its under my terms"

 

[SHOGUN]

First Rulon and now Kurt. :smh:

Angle needs to fall back from wrestling, period.

 

[EmpireWF]

LOL @

Angle was never going to do MMA. It was all talk.

Probably doesn't have a chance in hell, but you have to give it to the guy. He's got an unreal drive to still try to be half the athlete he is. Think about it, he's basically a broken down man and he's still the owner of a moonsault that is probably the prettiest looking thing I've even seen in the ring (Trish being a close second). And he attempted that 450 on Sting a few years back. And people were pissed about some bumps he took in some PPV match with Double J. The guy is legit crazy, and a wrestling machine. But yeah, he'll probably be dead in 10 years. Pushes himself too hard....

If he didn't leave WWE when he did...rather, if he wasn't fired when he was...good chance he's already dead.

To the point where he's accomplished everything, hopefully he winds down in-ring wise before his body fucks him over in the end.

 

[s@ppisgod]

What's the story with him leaving the E anyway? I always hear he was in god-awful shape (a given), and they made him leave to get better and he signed with TNA, yadda yadda. But what was so especially bad about him at that time? I just assumed it was always just a case of broken down wrestler syndrome. His neck is f'ed, his back will be f'ed if it isn't already. He's one of many, many pill poppers in the biz. But what made his condition so bad then compared to now? I didn't keep up with WWE when he left.

From what I recall, they were concerned about his health because he was addicted to pain pills (or at least, WWE believed he was). They already suspended him for 30 days (I believe that was for not having a proper prescription) and when he returned from that, they wanted him to go to rehab. He refused and they fired him. Publicly, Angle claimed he asked for time off, they said no and he asked to get out of his contract.

I don't think he ever did end up going and like you mentioned, went to TNA. There, most of the professional pressures lessened (although his marriage was in the shitter) and he must have gotten off whatever the fuck he was on because his body was smaller, more lean.

Still has to deal with the issues from his neck, but I'll assume he's over the pill habit, although I haven't read much about him in recent years.

Morrison will be out awhile to go get neck surgery.

I have never seen Christian as a main eventer.
He's the Matt Hardy of his tag team.
Mid-carder, nothing more.

Holy Shit Rhino

He literally should be arrested for that piledriver. That is beyond fucking dangerous. No company should ever allow a manoeuvre like that. Ever.
