Or another one even worse. And who said he was trollin? it's a legitimate question. People who care for TNA (and even those who don't) want to know about these kind of things. It's normal.</p>

And the guy is creative, but that doesn't mean he knows how to put an entire show together. That is why he is generally the first to be blamed.

"A fan asked Eric Bischoff the following question on his Facebook page: Why aren't you commenting on your thoughts on this week's ratings. They weren't better but I think everyone would like to hear what you think. Bischoff replied with this: Markus...you need to get a life." - (From Wrestlingexposed.com) What on God's name?? So he wants the fans to get a life? Good! How about if they started their new life not watching TNA? Seriously...this is not the way to respond to ratings questions...This guy knows zero about beeing diplomatic...

Really? Lastime i've been face-to-face with him, he clearly told me he wanted it to end!

If that isn't a LOL...don't know what it may be! LOL I know the joys and wonders of text comunication, as you call them, LOL and as you see althoug i didn't use a smile or LOL in all of my jokes, i did use a LOL on this one (wich was the most criticized), wich doesn't mean i have to use them all the time i make a joke. I didn't even had to use them on the mortgadge joke...cause it's obvious that Turner would never let things get to that point. But i understand what you mean, and i know your right. Sadly there is people who say stuff like that...in a serious way. But if you did not knew...now you know i'm not one of those guys. Back to topic: I still don't know why did TNA have so much rush in moving to the monday time slot...I mean, first they should have increased their fan base to an acceptable level, only then it would make some sense to think about the monday night wars. They are worrying too much with the E instead of looking at heir own backyard.

True, i'll give you that much. But i think it's pretty obvious by now that i am not one of those guys.

The funny thing about the streak is that Calaway doesn't get bothered at all with ending it and doesn't mind "jobing the streak" to someone. It's vince that dosen't want to end it. Personally i'd rather see Taker retiring undefeated, but as the wrestling world works the way it does (capitalizing on profitable, hot and over things, such as the streak) it would make perfect sense that a young, deserving worker making his way up the business could get to end it. I wouldn't mind seeing that. hell, i also wouldn't mind seeing shawn ending it (for obvious reasons) but that would be pointless. Shawn has nothing to gain with that, the WWE has nothing to gain with that...so as much as i would not mind seeing it (beeing a HBK fan) i'm also man enough to know it would be a waste of time. The only situation that in wich i see the WWE capitalising on shawn ending the streak is if it was both men's final match, so well built, turning to an epic where anything could happen and it wouldn't mind who got the victory...it would be all about an unforgetable performance. But as none of them is due to retire after WM (as far as i know of) they should just give the win to taker and end the feud. Michaels vs Taker 3 Wrestleanias on a row? I think that WWE would be pushing their luck if they tried to pull that one off.

It doesn't work if the users don't chill out a litlle. No one should ever interpretate anyone's words literally all the time in just about...anywhere...wether in a forum or any other place. Sure, we have to explain ourselfs perfectly on our posts and we have to be clear, bla bla. But for God's sake...there is always room for a good joke, or healthy sarcasm, humour, irony, etc.

Agree. And while we're at it let's make a thread against the ones opposing off-topic. Of course i'm joking, we all know that we have rules to follow, and why we should follow them, but sometimes te on-topic obligation just cuts a conversation away. If we made a WCW thread tomorrow, or even today, no one would be taking this discussion there, as the subject would have faded already. But you do have a valid point. Getting back on topic: TNA need to put their act together. They can say all they want...but the last ratings (worse then the ones on the thursday slot)...that's just...bad. And sure, it's not the end of the world, radarada, radarada...we know the deal, woooo. But, jumping the shark starts just like that...so they should pay attention to what they are (not) doing.

They apply to both...a thousand million and a billion are the same thing. As for turner, of course he has less money then what you thought. The merger eventually kicked him off his own empire. And as much as he'd be willing to keep feeding WCW if the merger didn't happened, that would imply kicking out the leeches inside the company (aka the current top draws at the time) and probably most of the booking team would join them in the unemployment. As much as Turner knows his way around corporate business he knows squat about wrestling, so if he kicked out the leeches (he would have too, in order to stop losing the big - and small - bucks.) he would be put in a situation in wich he hould have zero knowledge on how to reverse it. So...WCW would pretty much be dead or would have been bought by someone other than VKM. Maybe that would be the only way for surviving. Priceless!

The mortgadge part is a joke, i think that was obvious. As for the rest, if you are from those days, as i am, and if you know how much he was losing a year...well, if you know all that...then you should also know that you're wrong. WCW would be dead and buried nowadays avec or sans merger.

Thank God someone understood what i meant! Amen Brother!

That would seriously be hilarious and good for those idiots who need to get excuses. Damn...i would lmao, garan-damn-teed!

Jesus Christ, don't interpretate all so damn literally. The rest of the post was the most important and no one talked about that! XD Of course i know they won't be closing the doors tomorrow or next year,etc etc...that was an ironic matter of speaking...but the rest of the post is correct! Turner would keep feeding WCW...but eventually he would have to pull the plug unless he wanted to ask for a morgadge on his house. LOL. So even if the merger did not happen, WCW would be out of business nowadays and some guys who entirely blamed the merger back then, will have no excusses for failing now, wheter that failure includes goign out of business or simply not overcoming WWE . That's my point!

I think the most important here is that when TNA is out of business (that will not take long) certain "former WCW personalities" (we all know who i'm talking about) won't be able to blame that on a AOL/Time Warner merger like last time. yes, we all know that if the merger didn't happened at all, WCW would have been in a business for an adicional time period, because Turner woanted that and would have financed that. But the fact is that even if the merger didn't happened they would still be out of business nowadays, because Turner would not be able to keep losing money in such a "flamboyant way" (and i'm beeing polite9 for much longer. So...finally some people will be able to stop using the merger as an excuse for their own (now more then proven)tremendous incompetence!
