There's no way Undertaker could have none that idiot would still be around to this day... 2012!.
If he had that kind of foresight he would've no-showed Kane's debut and taken his chances down in WCW.

It is kinda suprising that the Kane gimmick has stuck around for so long. Especially considering all the terrible angles that The Undertaker went through before Kane's debut.
The Undertaker has been in some cheesy ass angles.

You want to know something that's amazing? Since 1997, no one has had a more consistent run than Kane. HHH, HBK, Taker, Rock, Big Show, Henry, etc. have all had numerous breaks, even year (or longer) breaks. All Kane has had are two few month breaks, one in 2002, and one last year. That's it. It's actually pretty remarkable when you think about it.

Can you imagine if the top brass at WWE decided to repackage Darren Young as John Cena's half brother today? And that Darren Cena would still be wrestling as Darren Cena in 2027?
That's basically Kane in a nutshell.
(I actually wouldn't mind the WWE admitting the obvious resemblance between Young and Cena in some fashion, so that probably isn't the best example. Imagine Heath Slater re-debuting as CM Punk's alcoholic brother and keeping that gimmick til 2027.)
(Fuck, I like that idea too. F Kane!)

I like it (except the F Kane part, shame on you!)! Everyone should be everyone else's sibling.

Beef's right. We need to stop with these silly post, and get back to the WrassleGAF pastime: Cynically talking about pro wrestling. It's what we do best.

Tomorrow night is TNA Lockdown. Here is an awesome match from Lockdown 2010 featuring Kurt Angle vs Mr. Anderson that was a MOTY candidate http://youtu.be/OxfDI3-FhVs
Tomorrow night has a few matchups that could end up filling that role this year. Hardy/Angle, Roode/Storm, and MCMG vs Joe/Magnus should all be fantastic and the Team Bischoff vs. Team Bischoff match should be good based on talent involved also.

I had forgotten about the time when Vince McMahon called Sabu a member of the Taliban.

He pulls out insane stuff in alot of his matches. He's been doing a spot where he misses a moonsault alot lately. No doubt he and Jeff Hardy will do something insane tomorrow night. Angle Slam from top of the cage perhaps?

How much are TNA PPVs? I'm actually excited for the show tomorrow. They've done a good job building up the matches.
I think I need to start trying to find a way to watch TNA.

I think $35 for standard def and $39 for hd. Might be off by $5 on those. They also offer it streaming on tnaondemand.com, but no idea how much that costs on there. Matches should be good and the last ppv was much improved without Russo match quality wise.

:lol, c'mon son. Kurt's been missing that moonsault off of stuff since his WWE days. I remember hearing him say he was crazy for ever attempting the moonsault off the cage against
***** ******
Oh, and TNA's done a solid job of building to Lockdown. Here comes the inevitable screwball finish-fest to ruin everything.

Last ppv they got rid of most of that stuff without Russo. Only 2 questionable finishes on the last ppv, one of which was the ref's fault for being in the wrong spot and the other one Sting not paying attention to where he was and hitting his head on the chair.

Why did they add skin disease to their pictures?
My memory must be fucked, all I remember is breaking ankles and angle slams.

What is with all of these championship matches? The WWE never has these.
Especially for their midcard titles.
They give those title away matches without any of pre-build on random episodes of RAW and Smackdown.
I'm sure one will change hands in England in a couple days for shits and giggles. Do we know of any such match? Of course not. But it will happen.

OK, Bobo. I'm gonna trust you.
But I'm just sayin', the better the build, the bigger the crapfest come Sunday for TNA. That's how it usually goes.
If there's one thing TNA does right, it's giving time to each title, even if it's only a few segments every other week, and having those titles defended at the PPVs. That's more than you can say for the WWE.

Well one thing to think about as well, is this is like their "season finale". All the storylines from the last 6 months are wrapping up and new ones are starting after this ppv. So mostly everything on this show should be clean and end the feuds that have been going on, except for maybe Joe and Magnus vs. MCMG which should continue after this ppv, will probably end. All the new Russo free storylines will start after this show and supposedly according to Dixie there will be a new focus on younger talent and also format changes starting in the next few weeks, whatever that means.

You don't remember that match against Sting where he ending up doing a "450 knee drop" from the top rope?
The best looking botch ever.

I still can't believe some of the crazy shit he did in this match (in a botchamania video because why not?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-g1AHfTQi4#t=1m13s
I'm pretty much under the impression he wanted to die during that powerbomb.
I don't think I have ever seen Angle and Sting in a match? TNA? If so, not available on fta in Australia. :/
Mentalism. Thanks for the link!

Yeah, Kurt's lost his mind since going to TNA. The 450 knee drop, the 450 off the stage, off the cage moonsaults, the top rope hurricanrana/powerbomb thing against Jarrett, etc. etc.
