We've been over this before. Duke Nukem isn't nearly racist enough to be Michael Hayes.

I agree with everything except the triple threat being better than the HHH/Bryan match.
Taker/Brock really wasn't a good match at all.
There is a good part to me, and that is that all 4 of those guys look like white guys on the down low in the 80s. Except for the last guy, who looks like Dick the Bruiser's gay son.

I'm just amazed at how much shit has gone down for TNA, utter utter shit, and people continue to put the blame anywhere but the problem. The problem is, and has been for years now, Dixie.
At this point what the fuck else could it be? Last year they got rid of Hogan, Bischoff, and for a time Russo, and things only got worse. They lost Sting, they lost AJ, they've just lost Sabin, they're about to lose Angle/Daniels/Kaz, their product's worse than it's been in years if not in their entire history, every fan sounds genuinely insane defending this shit on a weekly basis, and they're now even blatantly ripping off other products the same week as the original.
At least when they had Hogan, Bischoff, and Russo, they had scapegoats. How the fuck can anybody look at everything that is TNA in 2014 (I would have said every bad thing in TNA, but there's nothing but bad now and you have to be blind to see good there now) and think the problem isn't Dixie?
He fights Johnny Ace in one of those WCW PPvs
Yes. Mean Mark is on a number of PPVs in 1989/1990.
The fourth guy looks like the "no son of mine" type.
My housemate who lives in the basement room hasn't been back since January. That room has the electric meters and the like though, so I had to go down to give them a check and it looks like Phil Brooks has been crashing there secretly. The entire floor is just composed with empty Pepsi cans.
I'm going to fucking destroy him. The housemate, not CM Punk.

His name here is Mean Mark. He's fighting Lex Luger.

I think the Young title win may have been done to show that they will "reward" people who take a pay cut. I think the first guy asked to take less money was him and he apparently took it in exchange for being allowed to take indie appearances. Considering that they are on the verge of a mass exodus, maybe they thought they could persuade some to stay.

Replace MITB (bring it back to WM) with KOTR with the winner getting a title shot at SummerSlam.
Book it Vince!
Also I second the idea that Cena should pull a Nakamura and go for the IC title. I was hoping they'd do that with Orton and Rhodes years back when they were feuding.

The only guys who would do something like that are guys who are "marks for the belt" and that's typically looked down upon in the locker room.

Watched In Your House: Rock Bottom from '98 earlier. Michael Cole was an announcer and that asshole called nearly everything a "maneuver." If it wasn't a clothesline or an elbow to the face or a famous finisher, then it was called a maneuver. Also, The Rock was THICK and he "gassed" back then too lol.
Watching Souled Out '99 now. Are there any good WCW PPVs from 98 or 99? I think that's when I started watching WCW. I'm afraid to look at anything from 2000 again lol.

Their TV contract with Spike is up in months, and there's been no visible interest in a deal. Between that and their major financial struggles last year, they're closer to death than ever, and basically if they don't get a TV deal it's all over. They can't do road tapings, PPVs, and rely on the Internet solely as their station for broadcasting Impact at their current state and survive..
TNA had all those problems before Dixie was in control. There are only two people that have been with TNA since day one:

This. And with ROH and NJPW gaining more momentum among the NA market, along with the fact that TNA can't sell tickets, TNA is in as bad a spot as they've ever been.
I can find one thing to enjoy in TNA. The part where the show ends.

Oh, there is definitely good in TNA, but nearly all of it is buried under shitty booking and low funds/production values.
I think Cesaro getting the IC title (which will happen, at the latest, at Extreme Rules, imo) is enough to make it relevant. It's also good for Cesaro as it does what the IC is supposed to do; makes someone looks strong without putting him through the political mess that is the top title.
This joke is amazing

Network shines again
She's on the verge of being a stripper!
Tell me where. *airplane gif*
By god it's better than crack cocaine.
Jericho said on his show today that pretty much everyone was "forced" to say bad thing about Warrior on that DVD. I was actually surprised to hear him say that Triple H was supposedly a huge Warrior fan. People joke that he was mad that Warrior buried him at mania but seems not the case. Maybe it's wasn't a good idea to be pro Warrior around Vince.
Saying all that, I'm sure many of the opinions on that DVD are not necessarily false. I'm sure the likes of say Heenan were completely honest.

I watch WWE/ROH/occasionally NJPW if I get the chance. I like wrestling.
TNA can fuck off though.

There was Bad Influence...who were wasted frequently, including in the Claire Lynch story, and are now both about to leave.
There was AJ Styles...noted homophobe, wasted frequently, final match had a clusterfuck ending.
There was Magnus...company suckup and bad person, reign had him look like shit frequently, lost belt to comedy guy.
There was Samoa Joe...wasted frequently, no longer cares,
Eric Young...wasted frequently, Knockouts tag champ, finally wins belt in position with only similarities to other world title situation in other company that same week
I could go on, but won't because emphasis on "was" for them all, there is nothing good left, TNA ruins everything and everyone it touches, and nothing good is left that hasn't been cancelled out by something awful involving whatever that good is. The people who believe it's good, continue to be blind because that's still a happy result for now, I just wish I could feel bad for you or for anybody employed in the company the day it finally does go under, but I can't.
Still missing the point. Just saying there ARE good things about TNA. I hate this modern bullshit tendency to say that something either has to be "awesome" or it has to "suck" completely, thereby divorcing any positives that thing may have.

Any PPV from 91-94
I used to scan for the Bad Influence and Sabin heel segments, but I can't even do that now. I liked the initial AJ tweeter angle until he went full face again and the occasional Brooke ass shot.
Now? I can honestly say I do think enjoy a single segment. Even when the wrestling is passable, I know I could be making better use of my time by watching a better match on some other promotion.
I kind of like the old school opener, but the colour fill on 'Old School' puts me off.

Is this that Warrior DVD that just came out or were advertising?
I remember when TNA had Chelsea. Was all down hill from there. She was their preemptive strike to Paige.
