  1. I would say yes and no....he was booked in quick matches which makes it hard to do alot but also when he did do longer matches he didn't show a whole alot of range outside of what he did in short matches unlike say, a Magnum T.A. who got a similar Jesus push but could deliver in a longer match. Ironically,now that i think of it, 90's WCW was 80's MACW.WCW 2.0.....Goldberg was their "new"Magnum T.A., the N.W.O. was their "new" Four Horsemen... strangely enough their "new" Sting was still Sting.....
  2. Agreed, Aries is much better all-around and a great natural heel.
  3. To me Black seems ok in the ring....ye gods is he horrible at promos though. Seems like at this point the talent losses at the top of the card to WWE/TNA are really starting to show.
  4. That's exactly it, and probably the source of a lot of the frustrations from fans...wrestling,as it is, is not in a great state because of a lack of real competition up top;it needs real competition on top to realize its potential....I can remember years back when WCW had finally turned around and was just starting to beat out the WWE,I said to my friends "This is going to be good for wrestling" because I knew both companies would be forced to put out their best to hold that top spot and in the long run,which meant a better wrestling product than we had seen in few years. The problem is when WCW did it,they competed by doing some hot angles highlighting their guys and bringing in elements like Lucha Libre that were mostly unknown in the U.S.....in effect they succeded by being different. When WWE come back during the Attitude Era to take back the top spot, they did it shifting things around to present action and characters people had not been exposed to very much before....they also succeeded by being different. Now with TNA, they want to compete but what they are doing now is worked shoot stuff and rolling out guys from the past....in effect they are coming off as being "WWE Lite".....people want an alternative,not the same stuff they see on WWE just with different guys.
  5. I watched Impact again this morning(first time I've really watched current wrestling in a while) -I kind of liked the Flair/Styles thing,it was pretty good, my only downsides here were: A) AJ doing the "kiss stealin'...." line was not good,he doesn't have the delivery for it(which is ok,not everyone can do every part/gimmick) and B) For God's sake, someone either get Ric a decent hairpiece or loan a few bucks to hit the barber and get a decent hairstyle going. -Morgan/Hernandez v. British Invasion was IMO decent...there was a bit of storytelling going on and noone looked awful inside the ring. -Thank God the Knockouts segment was short...they're sure as heck nice to look at but jesus is it painful to watch them wrestle. -Lashley was ok but I didn't quite 'get' it....are they trying to show him as a nice guy who happens to be saddled with with a loud,annoying wife? -Pope/Jordan was ok if a little short, I think it's worth seeing them in a longer match once to see how it goes. -Not going to comment on Mr.Anderson as I never really liked that guy(as a wrestler). -Hall and Waltman......jeez guys, 1995 called,it wants it's gimmick back.Nash I didn't mind as the "torn between his friends and the company" thing was at least kind of interesting, just as long as it doesnt turn into the "N.W.O. Reunion Tour 2010". -Christ do I hate "The Pit Stop"....Nasty Boys were sorta ok otherwise though,should work well with Team 3D. -Anyone else find it ironic Hogan makes this big spiel about "earning your spot" yet his good buddies Knobbs and Bubba The Love Sponge ride in on his coattails? -Knowing the above doesn't that make Jeff Jarrett's character right? -Finally the whole Jarrett/Bubba/Hogan thing and the screwy finish to Angle?Styles......um,no please.....if I wanted stupid "smark" angles I'd watch old Russo-era WCW tapes and if I wanted "Heel owner/promoter screws everybody left and right" I'd have continued not watching current wrestling at all as "Mr. McMahon" has done it to death....I'd like to see something different please.
  6. Oddball D.O.T.T. related question,the guy in the pic for Knee Lift and Driving Knee Lift adminisering the move,who is that? It's like I SHOULD know who he is but I am drawing a blank,it's really bugging me....
