More WWE programming? I can't wait!

Man just watched RAW, what a pile of shit that was.

More WWE programming? I can't wait!

Their writers are working at a frenzied pace to keep up the same lackluster standard over the course of the 20 hours or whatever ungodly number they choose to do...

One of our writers on Voices of Wrestling did a really great Border Wars preview for those interested in Saturday's show:

Is the hat suppose to make him look badass?

 

[EmpireWF]

No, it's to earn him more $$$$ so people buy the hat.

That is the tackiest leather jacket I've ever seen

#RybackRulez.

 

[EmpireWF]

Why does 7ft Morgan enter the ring between the ropes, and not by stepping over the top rope?

Small detail but looks weird.

 

[Ravin]

Anyone else feel like Ryback shouldn't be wearing his own shirt? I always found it weird when certain guys put on their own merch.

Ryback: "Yeah I think I'll go with this sick Ryback shirt tonight."

 

[EmpireWF]

The finish to Sting/Morgan was horrifically bad. His sharpshooter is pathetic, he's barely holding Morgan's FEET...but HE PASSES OUT FROM THE PAIN?

ffs

 

[ThomasTomasz]

I realize TNA is building to a Hogan/Bubba match at BFG, possibly for the strap- which is bad enough. But with some of their talent, especially Morgan (who they never seem to book right or push) why not have him take that match at Slammiversary over Sting? The only reason has to be for buys, but is Sting that much of a draw now? I wouldn't think so.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Sting is pretty awful wrestler these days. Its been a looooong time since he's done something "passable".

 

[EmpireWF]

I realize TNA is building to a Hogan/Bubba match at BFG, possibly for the strap- which is bad enough.

That's the worst part, Hogan cannot work a singles match. His body is barely capable of walking at this point. So their insistence in building the shows around him and Sting is insane.

 

[JimLeavy59]

Sting needs to realize at this point he's hurting the talent more than helping. I'm shocked Hogan doesn't realize it or maybe he doesn't care. Impact could save a lot of money be getting rid of those guys.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I don't understand the need to constantly have Sting in the main events or in a main storyline.

He can't work anymore (which is sad, because he's still mobile and not moving around like shit). He just has a ton of shitty matches in TNA and gives no fucks.

Me either, which is why I'm wondering if the TNA execs think he still has some PPV drawing power. That's the only explanation I have at this point. He should be a guy used to get other people over big, and can still be involved in some of the bigger storylines, but he's in way too deep.

I don't understand that at all. There's really nobody in the building that has any power that is smart enough to say "Hey, Hogan can barely walk down the aisle anymore. Maybe we shouldn't be putting him in any matches." What a shit-show.
