Ivelisse Valez gets let go, Matt Cross gets cut week 2, SKID MARKS makes it nearly to the end, that no charisma guy wins the damn thing, and the worst person in the entire bunch, Melina vs Alicia Fox girl, is the only one to make TV.

That show made no fucking sense on any level. Everybody was lost, Austin, Stratus (who really came off badly as a no nothing hack in my opinion), yes men Demott & Booker T, all of them. Horrendous talent evaluations all around.

Maybe they passed on Aries because they knew he'd blow everybody else away. He wouldn't have been intimidated by Austin's act in the eliminations, and he wouldn't have struggled with doing flat back bumps ffs. They likely wanted amateur geeks who would look bad and make good TV. They had Cross & that Martin guy to fill the experienced worker void. So really, Aries probably lost out to those guys, not the scrubs. They needed a scrub quota.

You might be right...I mean, seriously...you are going to put Austin Aries, already one of the best wrestlers in the world on Tough Enough with bums? But it would have made for fantastic TV. He's such a dick, has acting classes under his belt, he would have been great in a reality TV setting. Stone Cold, too, is good in that kind of environment. It would have made for good TV, especially if they had plans to have Aries go to the end. Having he v. Austin matching wits would have been awesome.

Imagine Austin fucking Aries taking advice from fucking Bill DeMott.

TNA seating chart. My friend @FriscoKTank is there and has access to it. Everything not highlighted is being tarped off. The building is about 120 miles from Dallas, so it's not really close to any big cities.

He has $20 4th row seats off the floor. Not comps, but way discounted and got to move to closer.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Why. Run. These. Buildings. You. Can't. Come. Close. To. Fillling?

$60,000 through the shredder, folks.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Sinclair just bought a bunch of new networks for close to $1B. They could easily burn cash and run ROH shows in basketball arenas for vanity reasons, but I suspect the reason Sinclair is a billion dollar operation is because they don't do shit for vanity reasons.

Tuck that tail and head back to Orlando, brother.

That shit makes no sense to me.

They are like dogs chasing cars, even if they caught one, they wouldn't know what to do with it.

Uh, isn't it $600,000?

We're gonna get A.J. vs. Aries tonight and now we have Bobby Roode bitchin' about his spot again.

That's a lot of saliva you got there, John Boy.

 

[JayDizzle]

Hernandez better win after that fuckin' Superman Plancha from the stage, over the top rope and into Roode.

EDIT: One of the worst finish excuses I've seen in a while.

Ref's clearing the ring of chairs Roode chucked in and then asks why there's all this glass in the ring after not seeing Bobby brain Super-Mex with a beer bottle.

Obviously Hernandez didn't do it to himself, duder. :smh:

As close to a DQ as you can get away with that I've seen.

 

[JayDizzle]

If there was any more glass on the mat, you'd think Axl Rotten, Hayabusa, Foley and Funk had a get-together before a big Deathmatch.

 

[JayDizzle]

Kurt Angle, Rampage and Randy Couture petitioning to keep Olympic Wrestling alive at the games I can respect.

But a bum like Hulk Hogan?

:yao:

 

[JimLeavy59]

Nice to see Brooke Hogan is still getting tv time.

Anyone know why TNA would be burying Bobby Roode and making him appear to be a bitch in this year's BFG series? Is it because they've cut so many people and someone has to job?

Someone's gotta be jobbers in this thing.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Don't Aces and 8's not have contracts anyway? Dumb.

 

[BigBiss]

tey really need a wcw style reset at this point

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Anthony Nese does an interview with TNAsylum, Asylum geek backs him into a corner until he shits all over TNA. LOLOLOLOLOLOL:

http://www.tnasylum.com/2013/04/feature-interview-with-anthony-nese_29.html

Cliffs:

TNAsylum: "Why would you leave a big time national TV promotion like TNA to sign a deal with an indie like DGUSA?"

Nese: "Umm, because it pays more money and I would have starved to death in TNA."

:dead:

 

[FedEx227]

:dead: !

"Because I don't want to work at Sunglass Hut during the week" (not an actual quote but pretty much)

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I mean, that interview is amazing. The Asylum geek keeps baiting Nese, who starts off clearly being politically correct about things, but he is eventually pressed into burying TNA at every turn. "They didn't let me develop a character"..."They never booked me"..."Yes, I do a TNA gimmick for an indie to get heel heat" (lolololol)..."Gabe does a better job getting guys into Japan & WWE"..."I make more money in DGUSA"....

I'm amazed they even ran this fucking thing. They wanted him to put over TNA so badly, and it backfired horrendously. Then he plugged DGUSA for an entire paragraph. lolololololol.

 

[JimLeavy59]

Aces & 8's might be the worst angle ever.
