  1. It's been in the can for almost a year now. Orton was supposed to do it but that was around the time he was out with the collarbone injury that got Kennedy fired. It's the sequel to Cena's first movie.
  2. Hm, is it possible to build from Survivor Series a Wrestlemania matchup based around the falling out between HHH and HBK? I wonder.... Also, Ted Dibiase is due to be turned soon, considering The Marine 2 comes out before the end of the year ('a few days after Christmas, ****in' morons' is what I've heard from retail friends).
  3. Major difference, Nedew. High jump don't make money. Football does. When I was doing track, the Cross Country team was treated like second class citizens. The other teams (high jump, broad jump, shot put, etc) were even lower than them. It was the short distancers that got to say 'I'm on the track team' even down to merchandising. Our sweat suits said 'Track Team' while the Cross Country (basically long distance track) got 'Cross Country' on theirs and the others got their specific niche of the team on their suits. That was only because short distances (sprinters, in common parlance) were the "sexier" events. Heck, the bowling team only got funding because several of the football, basketball, and baseball team players were on it (and the "meets" were often used as 'team building exercises' by the coaches). Sad but it's the reality in many places here. If a sport doesn't support itself, it doesn't make itself immune to being cut. The same can be said for music programs here (which is why VH1's Save the Music Foundation was formed). On topic: Mick is probably the only person on TNA's roster that has any appeal to mainstream entertainment outlets. Unless there's another multi-time World champion AND multi-time New York Times bestselling author on the payroll. If not for his recent issues, Kurt Angle could've (and might still be able to for London) gotten some press commentating Olympic wrestling events. Granted, it wouldn't be in prime time (Olympic and Greco-Roman wrestling aren't "sexy" after all) but it would garner some buzz.
  4. For the record, Lauren "Angel" Williams has never been a particularly good in-ring performer. Neither has Talia (Velvet Sky). They've both been either heavily protected by tag team partners (April Hunter, for example) or kept as primarily 'personalities' or 'managers' (go look at OVW/DSW footage when Angel was there). That's not to say they 'suck', just that their strengths don't lie with their in-ring prowess. When you put them in the ring with experienced multi-style vets like Kong, Melissa, Stock, it becomes easily apparent. Many people don't know that Kong has really good charisma and could work a gimmick akin to Mark Henry's 'Sexual Chocolate'. But that's not where her typical strength lies. Personally, I think the best addition for TNA would be Tiana Ringer, if she's done getting her Master's. erm, rod? Melissa = Alissa Flash = Raisha Saeed She was working twice a show for some time now (often playing jobber as Alissa Flash).
  5. Well yeah, but she fits the theme of that group. The Beautiful People has always been a group of women known more for their looks than their in-ring ability. They're TNA's version of the Divas. I thought that was obvious. Lacey fits them perfectly. Though Madison Rayne can wrestle decently, she's not anywhere near the league of a Kong or Tara or Melissa or Sarah Stock or Ayako Hamada or even Shantelle. But she's the capable one in the group and the other two are serviceable at best. All Lacey has to do is be tall and vaguely menacing (in a 'Mean Girls' kinda way).
  6. Nah, I totally understand it. I read it with the preface of 'of the two largest North American promotions...'. As evinced by a previous thread, Wrestling Century hasn't really seen much outside of the big two (correct me if I'm wrong) so I can't castigate anyone for judging based on what they've actually seen. Well, I can (and I probably have), but that would make me wrong and an idiot (I have those moments....several times every week ). It's like someone saying 'Man, that new Lexus LS is the smoothest, most luxurious car in the world right now'. If they've never driven or ridden in a Maybach or Bentley or Rolls, you can't criticize them because they don't know those cars are gaudier and ridiculously luxurious for luxury's sake (I don't need my ass heated. It's warm enough. Thanks though! ).
  7. Eisen, you're forgiven for not knowing much about TNA so I'll just correct you. Two tag titles (TNA & IWGP) Two women's titles (Knockouts, Knockout Tag) And I would venture a guess that D'Lo only made suggestions for the main event because AJ, Daniels, and Joe are extremely familiar with each other and each of them is capable of putting together an excellent match. Also, does anyone think Russo knows more about putting a top tier match together than Angle and McGuinness? No, I think the credit should go to the people who were in the match. I think both matches were called in-ring, given the skills of the people involved.
  8. OH MY GAWD! ReapeR, you are seriously the man. I didn't know what I was expecting but jeez, you even exceeded those expectations! Edit: To be more specific, the crown on the world title, the merged Xs on the Generation title, and the shattered logo on the Shockwave title (illustrating a shockwave) are all touches that I would never even think of myself. What's even better, I bet you could take each of the renders you've done to Reggie Parks and actually have it made in reality. Such is the detail you tend you use. In fact, that might not be a bad idea. I mean, if Keri Hilson can have a title belt, why not?
  9. My three wishes: QAW (default logo) World title (no 'women' in it - make it really flashy though) Generation X title Shockwave title
  10. Well, to be fair, the first post is kinda vague. Can't really tell if requests are being taken or not. Maybe he should bold it and use a bright color or something. And I like the old style. The tilted version doesn't have the kind of detail I like (basically what sebsplex noted).
  11. If I might be so bold as to request logo and banner for these: QAW Queens of American Wrestling Basically just an alternate of the stock one. As for colors, just the typical American flag thing (red, white, and blue with the stars and stripes) but maybe with a different take. AJW All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling New flavor for the old promotion. Based in Japan, product very much like the men's was in the 90s (with a little FMW thrown in). Doesn't have to match the old logo (in fact, I'd prefer if it didn't) That's it for me! Thanks!
