Ideologically, Styles turning heel with Flair to talk for him is brilliant. Realistically, this is TNA so it won't matter and it'll be ruined.

Flair isn't his mouthpiece, just his manager. I for one am glad - Styles is seriously underrated in terms of mic skills.

i STILL cannot believe they broke up LAX ... then made Hernandez tag with Morgan!

Beer Money, Inc. — James Storm and Robert Roode — have been expressing their frustration to people backstage after they received word that TNA creative director Vince Russo said he didn't see them as top stars. Actually, Russo said that they were expendable, but the Pro Wrestling Torch notes that he may have been trying to send the outspoken Storm a message.

oh wow, TNA got a 1.26, the same as last week, and only up marginally YOY.

I must admit, a part of me finds this appealing. The rest is sickened to the core of my being. When Flair declares AJ to be the "New Nature Boy" I will actually vomit with rage.

Haha! That picture reminded me of WWF New York! Remember that place? I actually went there a few times back when I lived in Brooklyn. Loved that they used to broadcast Heat from there. :lol

Does anybody find that the Nasty Boyz gimmick is waaay too 80's? Its not like I have a problem with it because I love complete cheese gimmicks and over the top nonsense in pro wrestling but the 80's hair and spray paint is a but crazy in this day. Street punks are way too 80's early 90's.


Also whats up with Scott Steiners look. He still looks like hes from 1998 complete with his bleach blond hair and and goatee. Can somebody give him the memo that the Backstreat Boys and NSYNC are not together anymore? he should go back to his more normal look. Every time Steiner is on TV he just screams 1998. I guess this look works for him.

You are not on Mondays.

I don't understand half of the stuff in this thread about you.

Why should I care about OJ Styles?

Fix it!

Exactly why are we hating Orton, boring personality and boring ring work aside?

Don't ask me. I'm an Orton fan.

Rest of GAF hates him. I think it's a little bit of both.

If Cena wins the Rumble, I'll assure you we'll have over three pages of people bitching.

I'm am guaranteeing it right now, no way Cena wins the Rumble. I can see Shawn Micheals, Kofi Kingston, or Triple H, but not Cena. It's be TOO stale.

Cena isn't going to win the Rumble. The only storyline going makes it between HBK and HHH. WWE thought it was a good idea to waste seven weeks of leadup for one of their biggest PPV's by announcing participants on air and WWE.com/ Smart move.

I can see HHH winning and going to face the Undertaker and then having some DX breakup or triple threat match at WM.

Knowing WWE, they will include Cena to break some odds.

I find more reason to hate Undertaker at this point than just about anyone on the Smackdown roster. Guy's done more work this week than he's done all month, and he's only cut two promos. His title reigns are god awfully boring. Not to mention his involvement with Michelle McCool is probably the reason she's getting such a big push. From what I've read, Mickie hasn't been the best person to get along with backstage recently, but goddamn the Piggie James shit is getting old.

Concur'd. Would like to see them write Orton as a more arrogant heel though and not a cowardly one. Ditching Legacy wouldn't cause me to lose any sleep either.

No complaints from me. I do dislike it when he does botches from stuff like CZW though. They're amateurs - they're supposed to botch every other move.

Um...those guys aren't amateurs. A.) They are paid for it, which makes them professional B.) You'd be surprised just how long most of those guys have been working.

Take a guy like Brain Damage. He's got at least 10 years of pro experience.

Most of these guys just don't have what it takes to make it to the bigger leagues.

I meant they were amateurs in a more... figurative sense. You seem to agree anyway.

Maybe if the new WWE talent was not complete shit they would get pushed better. There is a reason why HBK, HHH, Taker, Mysterio, Jericho, Big Show etc have been in the main event for 10+ years. Sorry, but this new crop of so called "talent" is complete shit and is boring as hell. They suck in the ring, they suck on the mic and have ZERO charisma and personality. Out of the entire "WWE CENA ERA" roster the ONLY stand outs are C.M Punk, John Morrison, Miz and that Yoshi Tetsu guy. Everyone else is boring as shit and get Randy BOREton and his shitty DEFAULT CAW stable off my TV. Also Its been what? 12-13 years and Kane STILL never got a decent title run.


I would much rather watch Ex WWE wrestlers or "Hasbeens" than all these wannabes and "nevergonnabees"

Agreed. I immediately lose interest once I see CZW footage in any Botchamania because those guys are expected to screw up.

While CZW may feature predominantly garbage death match wrestling, the company gets a bad rap as they've had a ton of talented wrestlers come through their doors and put on a lot of great matches over the years, of course none of that you'll see in Botchmania.

Guys like Sabin, Shelley, Generation Me, Pope, Wolfe & Homicide certainly are going to end up "nevergonnabe's" if TNA keeps giving spots and pushes away to broken down old hacks who'se only advantadge is that they evoke nostalgia in ex-wrestling fans who gave up on the business over a damn decade ago.
