The General Wrestling Thread

Why the E refuses to push tag teams like they did in the olden days is amazing. You would think they'd want as many potential headliners as they could make since it gives them more outlets to draw houses/merchandise/etc. Instead, they have Cena....

God forbid they get creative and not be repetitive as fuck year in, year out.

Unfortunately (not to sound crass), even after VKM passes, they've sucked all the creativity out of the booking that nothing will change in that regard.

Booking structure needs to change. Hollywood screenwriters writing for "sports entertainment" has been the downfall of the product of the WWE.
 
TNA poaches Dave Lagana from ROH.
Thank You…

I’ve been very thankful for wrestling since 1985. If you’re reading this site, you’re like me – a fan. I would hope after having read my blogs or listened to my podcast, you know the depth I really love wrestling. From being a kid as a hobby, as a teenager as a passion, into my adulthood where it became my job, I’ve always wanted wrestling in my life. That will never change.

Ring of Honor Wrestling came into my life at a time when I didn’t know if I’d ever work in wrestling again. If it wasn’t for Dave Marquez introducing me to Adam Pearce who introduced me to Cary Silkin, I wouldn’t be typing this today. It was the confidence they put in my abilities which lead to me being hired to produce the ROH on HDNet TV show. There I got to learn an entire new skill set beyond writing from Darrell Ewalt, Andrew Simon, and Adam Swift. I got to share my passion of wrestling with Scott Ferrier and Andy Edwards on a weekly basis. I even got to help Dave Prazak endure the slapping of porpoises. I’m amazingly proud of how that show turned out over the two years.

Life is about evolving. Ring of Honor gave me the opportunity to learn an amazing new skill set – social media. I’ve had an amazing time engaging wrestling fans over the last two years via Facebook and Twitter for the company. Every message sent, I read, every question that could be answered was. Wrestling fans have an amazing passion and varying opinions. That discussion is what fuels this business and what I find great about social media. Companies can talk about “getting in the conversation” but if you’re not in the conversation yourself, you’re simply broadcasting and not engaging.

Ring of Honor Wrestling under the ownership of Sinclair Broadcasting is the right step forward for pro wrestling. Joe Koff is an amazing businessman and salesman to lead the business end of the company into the future. Gary Juster will be bring ROH to new cities and great venues. I’m proud to have worked and learned wrestling from Jim Cornette and Hunter Johnston. The future of that TV program, live events and pay per views will amaze you at how great wrestling can be. I’m proud of my three years with ROH and know that they will make you proud to be a wrestling fan.

I leave Ring of Honor Wrestling to tackle new challenges. I’ve accepted a position as Director of Creative Writing with TNA Wrestling. My duties will be to focus solely on the development of new wrestling shows beyond the Impact Wrestling show. I’m excited to see what the future holds and thank everyone for the support over not only the last nine months of this site but through my entire career.

Sincerely,

David Lagana

From Alvarez lmao

-- Hogan was on Boomer & Carton on WFAN in New York today. He plugged TNA over and over, like never before. Best gems were: A) He used to fight in Pride in the late 70s because New Japan was affiliated with Pride and would send its guys there. B) People talk about the Shea Stadium show, but in the South, he was selling out baseball stadiums all the time before the Shea Stadium show.

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/?podcas...ig+Carton&station_id=62&tag=pages&dcid=CBS.NY


Jesus, he really does say he wrestled Pride guys in the 70s because Pride and New Japan was affiliated back then.

holy shit
 
I swear Morrison and Miz had a small little program. No blow off or anything serious, though.

Yes they had a few months.

I remember the big thing was who was going to be the Shawn Michaels of the feud and who was going to be the Marty Jannetty. That's how they framed it. To just about everyones surprise 2-3 years later, Morrison is the Jannetty. Crazy in hindsight.
 

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

-Hogan claimed he sold out "every night" for 20 years from the late 70's until the late 90's

-Hogan claimed he wrestled in Japan for twenty years and sold out the Tokyo Dome for twenty straight years

-Hogan claims he passed on the script to 'The Wrestler' "four or five" times

-Hogan claims 'The Wrestler' isn't accurate, and his buddies that are past their prime make "$4-$5,000 per weekend" working armories

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOL
 
Hogan has crossed over into full-on delusion territory, apparently. There is typical self-hype and all that, but creating shit like that... wow...
 
Since we're talking about Hogan, anyone read the "highlights" from his interview with "The Busted Open Show" (no idea what that is, but it's on Sirius)?

Hulk Hogan taped an appearance with The Busted Open show on Thursday that will air today at 3pm on Sirius Radio. When asked whether Bobby Roode is ready for to be the #1 guy in TNA – here’s what Hogan said:

“Nah, he’s not ready. He’s not the next guy. Ya’ know, they might think he is. Dixie Carter might think he is. The whole world might think he is. He’s not the next guy. If I had to bet money on anybody and really be serious about betting money on anybody, I’d say Jeff Hardy is the next guy if he keeps his act together.”

“Um, that’s what you gotta to have, man. This is much more than being a wrestler, this is crossing barriers, medias, ya’ know media barriers, and, and entertainment barriers of all kind. Getting your character down verbally has 90% to do with getting over.”

“I just have a very strong feeling Kurt Angle’s going to clean his clock performance wise, and carry the match, and basically remains the champion. He’s training for the Olympics. He’s had some up and down moments, and I think this is not gonna be a down moment for Kurt Angle, so I’m betting that farm on him.”


Here are some more highlights of what Hulk Hogan said about several other TNA stars and his match with Sting on Sunday:

James Storm: “I’d go with James Storm all day long. Mainstream brotha’! Cowboy hat, beer drinking, middle America, Nascar, Walmart, Country Western. I mean all day long, it’s a no brainer. That’s me. That’s my opinion. So, I mean, Bobby Roode’s a tremendous athlete. I would change. I’d build him from Venice Beach, California or Omaha, Nebraska instead of, I dunno, Canada, eh’? I love him to death. He’s a great kid. When he looked down at me from the ring, and we had an argument one day, and he goes, “What the hell have you ever done?” I said man, this guy’d be a great heel, but yeah he has a lot of potential there for him to, but if you ask me to choose who to run with’, and you gave me those two choices? That’s my opinion.”

Jeff Hardy: “If I had to bet money on anybody, and really be serious about betting money on anybody, I’d say Jeff Hardy’s the next guy if he keeps his act together. Well, I think he’s got a lot of shine to him, I mean he just doesn’t have 5-star matches. He shines outside the ring. He walks through the mall, and people know who he is. He’s got a look, he’s got an air about him. He’s got the “IT” factor. That’s what you gotta’ have, man. This is much more than being a wrestler. This is crossing barriers, medias,, media barriers, and, and entertainment barriers of all kind. And I think the kid, Jeff Hardy has the potential to really be the guy.”

AJ Styles: “It’s never too late. I mean, I just don’t know. I, when I first came in all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed a couple of years ago, I had a ton of suggestions which I was kind of pushing real hard, which I thought would take him to a crazy, crazy level, and nobody responded. So, I don’t know at this point. I have my ideas, but a lot of things that I believe in, and what I feel from the crowd, and what I know. The little I know about this business. Sometimes, it’s either taken and used, or used and it doesn’t work, or it’s not used at all. So, it’s just..it’s my opinion. I don’t know at this point.”

Hogan :troll:'ing the TNA fanbase again. He has completely lost whatever little grip on reality he had left...
 
Jeff Hardy is the "next guy", despite peaking in popularity four years ago and already having a run as the "next guy" before flushing it down the toilet.

Oh, and way to bury Roode (even though I happen to agree 100%, Roode is mid card for life. Dude is dry like the desert).
 
RAW is being taped in Mexico for the first time tonight, this is From F4W

--Vickie Guerrero wrote on Twitter about being in awe of working at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City tonight, noting that it was 20 years ago when she was last in the arena cheering on Eddy Guerrero.
 
Caught up on some NOAH the last few days...

-Saw the Kotaro Suzuki/Katsuhiko Nakajima jr title switch. They did the rare KO finish. Last 8 minutes were typical NOAH craziness, but the match overall sucked. Super sloppy and no heat.

-COLT CABANA gets over no matter where he works...except the WWE, where he is stripped of his charisma and thrown on TV as generic Scotty Goldman.

-Mohammed Yone looks like he's slowing down. He's gained weight and did not look good on the 10/2 show.

-Zack Sabre Jr is loaded with upside. I'd like to see him back.

-Watching Kenta Kobashi do nothing but chops is sad. He's starting to look old in the face and he is getting fat. Such is wrestling, especially in Japan, where legends and all time greats deteriorate before your eyes.
 
Oh, and watched some of the New Japan "Destruction" show.

MVP is fat and slow. I thought he'd be motivated and on fire with New Japan, but he looks like mid card for life.

Also watched the Mil Mascaras/Dos Caras/Tiger Mask vs. Tiger Mask IV/CIMA/Ultimo Guerrero match. Watching the young guys sell for Mil Mascaras ruined the match. Tiger Mask is HUGE but can still work. Dave Meltzer compared Mascaras pinning Guerrero to Bruno Sammartino pinning Randy Orton on RAW next week. LOL.
