ok the belt on tv is even worse. did i see a orange and purple hologram on each side of the belt? Really.........I get it is a "custom" belt but come on. Hardy is a dark char now........not a flashy colorfull face painted hero any more. If they kept the face paint it would be a little better. But come on this is the worst belt i have ever seen.

I have enjoyed the attempts at the jr heel turns. When he brought in fake diseal and razor and built his own announcing desk infront of the other announcer table. Classic stuff........it failed but still very cool. I think he is just a natural face and people just can't hate him like others have said. What is there to hate about the guy to be honest?

When joe first came in it was on WOW moment for the internet fans. He was such a huge signing in my opinion. He could have done alot more for the company. Joe is one of the best wrestlers around and can go an hour no problem. Or atleast he could when he first came into the company. The olay kick was so over it was not even funny but he does not do it in tna. What the hell is up with that. I waited for month to see that move in tna and it never happend. Its not like he could not do it as alot of the guys in roh were working in tna with him. Joe was the indy golden boy. He is a joke now in my opinion. They droped the ball big one with joe.

I really did not mind the segment i guess. There was some good comedy *next you are going to tell me bryan danilson is the us champ* and the fifty million reaction was classic.

Not a chance in hell.
When you look at the financial figures, WWE is actually doing better than the "attutude" era from a strictly business standpoint, mostly due to increased sponsor appeal and fees.
They aren't going to risk losing big money sponsors so that they can take a shot at catching fire again when money's stable like it is now.
Hell they fired a guy they clearly like because his tie choking incident freaked out a sponsor, there not going to go back to PG-13 on a whim post election cycle.
I have to admit i don't follow the "financial" stuff of the wwe like i use to but does the incressed sponshership make up for the lower ppv and tv ratings? I know they are not tarrible but they are not high as they once were *but then again that just could the times we are in*. I know they are getting many more "fammily friendly" sponsers but they are not getting that much wanted 18 to 35 demographic that alot of sponsers want so badly.
-
anyone think if linda does not win tomarrow that the wwe will go back to a more "adult" product.....atleast blood and a few curse words?
-
I thought it was going to be something like a burning hammer and thought *no way someone this green is going to pull off a burning hammer*
-
75.00? i find that a little hard to believe.......maybe 7500 but 75.00? that is 7 and a half tickets *atleast the pices at my movie theater*. there have to be more then 7 wwe fans who wanted to see that lol. Even if it was only in six theaters.
-
lol is my taker markness showing that much?
-
You think he's a bigger star or you like him more? There is a vast difference between the two. I'm not sure you could even make a credible argument for Taker being a "bigger" star than Hogan, Flair, Austin, Rock, etc. Consistant, loyal, etc but not "bigger".
To each their own though I actually liked Big Evil Taker more than this Taker.
I guess i am counting the years he has been one top. austin and rock had what 5 or 6 years as "top draws" taker has been hot since 96ish. fourteen years on top is huge. The point can be said that flair was a big name for a long while also but it was a diffrent time * i know that should not matter* hogan ok maybe taker is not bigger then hogan.
-
I see taker getting a flair "retirement" type of deal. There is no way the biggest star in wrestling is going to go out like this. Yes i think he is bigger then hogan, flair, hhh and hbk. He has atleast one more mania in him. I relly can't wait till he retires and becomes an agent or something and we get to see him in backstage roles or running to the ring to break up fights like anderson does.
-
in the tna remake of the nwo i would look at it like this. Hogan = hardy. The mega face turn heel. abyss would be hall.......the role bringing news of the group. hogan and eric well they fill somewhat of the same role *well atleast eric* jerret was a member of the nwo at one point so there you go
.

diden't flair flat out say this is the horseman but he just could not call it that because wwe owned the copyright's to the four horsemen?
-
I really think jeff hardy could work as a heel. I almost get a jimmy jacobs emo vibe from him and that would be so awesome. The fans made him turn to the things he turned to because he had to keep up. He lost his house and his dog and still had to performe. It could work so well. I know they are going for dark and it might be working to be honest.
-
line of the night goes to taz. Seeds and Paranoia are right up rvd's street. laughted when i head that one.
-
It depends on how they count an apperence. I have seen companys count it not per show but per "day". Are they still doing two a day or are they doing one a day two days in a row? If they are doing two a day i would not be shocked to have they call that one apperence. I don't know how tna does there stuff though. If they are getting 3k a month that is not bad for an indy womans wrestler who has not paid her dues yet. I am sure for a guy like lets say joe will pull in 6 hundred a show. and guys like anderson who may not be on a writen contract probebly get 1000 to 1500 a show.
-
He spent his entire career as a technico, apparently. Until he had some contract talks with the WWE in 2009. After which, he turned rudo until he left.
I am surprised about that because it comes so easy it looks like. His ring anouncer, his car, his swagger it all fits to the gimmick so very well. His move set is fantastic and i like seeing the arm bar as a legit finish again.
-
I don't watch alot of lucha stuff any more bust wasen't he a face in cmll? He does have a natural hellish to him self. I figured he would work with rey because they need a new staple the spanish fans can relate to *if that sounded wrong i did not mean it to*. Rey is one major knee injury away from retiring. Smackdown has always had a huge spanish audience.
-
lol atleast it wasen't dj scribble......now that dude is famous.
I the fact of what they paid a huge deal because of tna is so small? What did the wwe pay mr. spears woops i mean keven federline for his group of shows? It was ALOT more then 15k i bet. I think fifteen thousend on a c list celeb is not unheard of. If it gets them publicity then more power to them.
-
So where does this leave Angle. Not sure I am into this new group with Hogan and Bischoff at the helm. It just does not make any sense to have Hogan in any kind of major storyline. I just dont know man, maybe Paul Heyman is right, wrestling is dying out. There does not seem to be an original and fresh idea anywhere in the business right now. Not in the WWE, TNA, ROH or anywhere else in the world. Everything is just a re-hash of something else. I think I am just going to start watching MMA.
I think since angle did not loose then he will not have to retire. Anderson was the one who was pinned so technicly angle did not get pined or submit.
-
FAIL!!!!!! I am sorry but no way in hell. Wasen't it just a few month ago that the two turned. No way can jeff pull off a heel. I was really giving tna credit and i am sorry but this is just nwo 2.0. That is not what tna needs. I would have been happy with a group of four jobers more then this group.
-
The Samoa Joe Kidnapp angle was dropped turned into Joe in the NAtion of Violence which was dropped and turned into Joe in the MEM which was dropped too.
They will probably be Hogan, Bischoff, Jarret, and Sting which is stoopid although not the Original They due to NAsh leaving...
They SHOULD be AJ Styles, Hernandez, Daniels with Cornett as the voice.
Actuly i might be wrong on this one but i think the time table is off here. the mem was first, then he started the nation of violence stuff cutting up people, he then got kidnapped to basicly make people forget about the nation of violence stuff and he came back with his old look without the face pant and back to the old trunks. Nothing came out of the "kidnapping" if i remember. My time frame might be off but i think that is how it went down.
-
Who they could be is a big one to be honest. I think it would be people who have been off screen for a while or someone who already has the "hardcore" gimmick attached to them. I could see ink inc being part of it. They have a hardcore "look" about them. Then you could throw in a guy like raven as a swerve on ev and i really think father james is going to come back. I hate to say it but i think danials is gone from tna. He is in roh rigght now so that leaves him out. I would love to see the fallen angel on tv but i don't think tna is going to allow him to do the full on evil preacher gimmick. A little to dark if it is done corectly.
