  1. The problem with tna women wrestlers like love is that she is actully talented when allowed to be. Is she an Akira Hokuto? No....but she is good. I would put her indy work on the same level as phoenix or gail kim. She is just eye candy right now and that is a shame.
  2. If you are working 4 shows a week you are forgetting travel time. I know four young guys on the e roster who have not been home in over a month. most mid level guys don't ride big airplanes....they drive from show to show. Christmas time does not mean time off.....you work harder and more in the summer and holidays. Don't get me wrong.....they all know what they are getting into and except it. When i was in my prime of doing multiple companys i went two month one time before i even went home. It is a fact of life for wrestlers. The wwe just pays there guys to do it better. They give them hotel....rental cars and so forth.
  3. wwe is what a majority of wrestlers want to get to. But not all......I would say more then 75 percent of people want to make it to the e. But there are alot of reasons people would not want to go to the e. Schedual is the big one. You are literly on the road 300 days a year. For a young guy with no wife or kid that is ok. But for a guy who is married it is hard. Quality of product also has a bearing on some people. Some guys will be happy to be "week end warriors" because they are doing what they want to do. Some people can actuly make more working multiple indy shows then they could in the wwe. Indys are not bush league....some are but i would not say that an indy wrestler is not on the same level as a wwe worker just because they are on tv. Some of the best workers in the world are never going to be seen by a majority of wrestling fans. Chuck Taylor for instance.....he will NEVER!!!!!! make it to the wwe......but that guy can work.....is funny as hell......and great on the mic.
  4. I think the pope plays a great street precher gimmick. It is not full on sidewalk sermons and stuff but it is near to what you would see. I am not offended by it al all. I am not even offended by jordons gimmick. If he was not bisexual i think i would be though. I am tired of straight people playing homosexual or bi charactors.
  5. in early tna i think skipper was actully a good draw......he was part of XXX *a good stable in my view* and he had a few runs with the tag titles. I will always remember skipper walking the top of the cage. It was insane and looked great.....the guy would take risks in the ring and i think he was pretty over in the weekley ppv era.
  6. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! that is going to be a cluster**** of a match and is going to be epic lol!11
  7. I might be wrong on this one but dosen't tna fit a good portion of the talent cost? I know they don't do all of it but i heard once that they were paying a portion of angles contract. I know spike pushes tna like crazy! ufc is a huge draw and you always see alot of tna guys on the show *and to be honest alot of wwe guys though*. I wonder if they give the same deal to ufc.
  8. wow.......ok i knew kedrich was a herb head but man......londone looked messed up the entire video........that is to funny. I have not seen alot of high spot videos but i am a little surprised them showed the smoking .
  9. The important part of the raitings is that raw lost more viewers then tna lost.......that is a good think for tna. They knew they were going to loose viewers........they knew they were not going to beat raw.....that is YEARS away. But they did not get destroyed either.
  10. I think they are handling him great.......They are not going to super push him because it would not fit the storyline.....He is going to without a question be moved onto a show after this.......he does not need to win where a guy like gabrial does.........he is over and he is starting to show some more entertainment skills. He is doing what he needs to do.
  11. wcw did the same thing..........they had an hour one announce team and an hour two announce team......and brough in mike tenay for the "lucha" matches.
  12. Had to comment on that one sorry.....I am a rvd fan big time.........but saying saying stings star power is equal to rvd got me laughing a little. Sting is HUGE!!!!!!!!! like almost flair/hogan level huge. Yeah it is true that in tna he has looked a little weaker lately but you have to look at the history of sting. For rvd to come in and basicly get a squah win over him is giant. Sting has been a top draw in every company he has worked in. He has been a money draw for almost twenty years now. Ok sorry rant over lol.......... I enjoyed the show. i thought brook's acting was a little over the top....her begging him not to get back in the ring...he says he won't then a few segments later..........is back in the ring?????? ok sure..... They need to keep up this type of show.
  13. I think the fact that they announced it and lets be honest.......taker is still the number one draw in the company for a "pop". If you want a garented good segment you call in taker........you want something that you know people are not going to switch over with you call in taker. Yeah it is a little "old" but come on.......who is not a taker mark still at this point.
  14. Hell yah! i spend a little time in in the uk in high school.....i am serious that every girl was a little bit hotter *atleast a little bit lol* just because of the accent. but back on topic lol.......i am looking forward to the show tonight....although i am glad in the days of dvr i don't have to choose which one to watch. although i think i am dvring raw and watching impact. because i find my self fast forwarding raw alot more then impact lately.
  15. I enjoy desmend alot......but i don't think i understood a word of his last promo on impact lol.........I thought i knew what some of it ment but way off i think. although i think that might be the point ........you get some guy to go speak "street" in the uk and it would be the same way i assume.....
  16. haha anderson making fun of kurt for being injury probe? wow....hello mr. kettle have you talked to mister pot?
  17. if taker does not become an agent of some kind i would be shocked.
  18. You know its kind of funny how much people talk about hhh's push because of steph, but no one talkes about Michelle's relationship with taker. Do you think taker has any influence on it at all?
  19. A train is huge in japan right now so i don't see him going back to wwe. It sucks about haas as the wgtt was a great team. I enjoyed there work
  20. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="ECW 2.0" data-cite="ECW 2.0" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25169" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>The thing with me is the E needs to play it a little better and let someone win who has a chance as a future champ in WWE, I just dont see that in that Bryan kid he just dosn't have the "look" I mean if he was TNA I think he would be better their..but i could be wrong well have to wait and see</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> What if he was under a mask? A really cool looking mask with maybe a american flag that resembles a dragon? The masks help rey rey alot.......You know i think that might just get him over.</p>
  21. people keep talking about a cole "heel" turn......i don't know, i did not see a "heel" turn as just him super putting over the pro's. He was a little more one sided then before but i was expecting a full on jr heel turn or something.
  22. Ok.......show just ended. It was a good show.........not exactuly what i thought but was good. Ortaga has the look great sounded great and has a intresting gimmick. TIll he steped into the ring The show was about danials though. He is going to get the push of a life time here if he does not do something really bad. I maked out for the old school lion tamer though......that was classic now we just need a cattle mudilation and my inner fan boy will be pleased
  23. I think not having lowki was a great movie. There is one dominate person on the show right now. That is danial........if you brough in ki would you want him to play second fiddle to him. Or would you want to take some screen from danial to give to ki? Believe me i am a huge ki mark......might be the only one left in the world lol......but i am glad he is not on the show. I would want him to be the star and that is odviously going to be danial. Plus isen't he hurt? or something like that? i knew a few weeks ago he was going to be on the show. O yah, punk and danial.......didn't punk beat him for the roh title? or was that joe? If they played off that it would be epic.
  24. I always thought it was because of who he worked against in wcw. He worked against smaller more agile men. A man who could be bent more without breaking something. Could you see jericho putting the old school walls of jericho on say a mark henery or a kane? their backs would not be able to mend enough without seriously hurting them. Yes the move it self does hurt........very bad........but i always thought it was so he could work with more people.
