There was this big MMA vs. kickboxing angle going on with this rivalry. The announcers were kickboxing marks. Watch this if you want some background:

They were in so much debt that they probably would have went under anyways, but that fight certainly didn't help things.

Interesting. Was there a rubber match? Wrestling needs to learn something from this, keeping it simple is waaaay more effective than they give it credit for. I was hooked because these dudes just wanted a fight, and this tournament made it all the more intriguing.

You guys need to turn glory on now.

i always loved the physical transformation from Dynamite Hari to WGP Hari. fight fire with fire. first time Reem was exposed in that period.

shows you how simple it is to book a compeling angle.

Bit late to this but where was Nate Milton on Review an Impact this week? His genuine optimism for TNA is a nice counterpoint to the largely manufactured optimism we get in this thread.

GLORY is so fucking fun. Everyone can enjoy it, wrasslin fans and MMA friends alike.

Yeah, K-1 had this interesting thing where they would seed a tournament by drawing numbers and letting the fighters pick their spot on the bracket. Made for an interesting dynamic of seeing if a fighter would pick an open spot on the bracket, avoid matching themselves with a fighter, choose to fight a particular opponent, etc.

They never did fight a 3rd time. Overeem ended up going to the UFC where fighting in other promotions is a no-no. They eventually buried the hatchet and did some training together.

Yep, watched the card earlier. Fantastic event. Saki is an absolute monster at light heavyweight.


Wait until the Los Angeles card in June. The living equivalent of Tong Po is fighting.

Plus the most exciting fighter pound for pound in combat sports, Melvin Manhoef.

Nate's becoming less and less enamored with it honestly

 

[Showaddy]

I can't see how anyone can be genuinely optimistic about TNA when their future depends entirely on Spike's willingness to lose money.

Apparently, Jack Swagger beat Big E for the IC title at a house show

Bad news for all you Big E haters though, the match was restarted and Big E retained

i'd actually like lower card belts being changed hands at house shows. would give off the "anything can happen" vibe more

I was wondering why he's been looking a lot better over the past month or so.

there's only 1 way men should look:

white, black, asian, whatever. if you don't like Pudz you're out.

Pudz would cause a got damn eclipse if he flared out his lats.

Ninja look like he got dinner rolls for abs

Vince gonna sign him someday. and WWE will have ratings and buys and shares and merch sales like it never had before. just paste this fuckin goddamn pic on everything they own:

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

Watching old PPVs, wow wrestling was terrible from like WM 21-28. I'm glad guys like chris masters and carlito never made it.

 

[strobogo]

2004-2010 or so was a pretty dark time for WWE. So much "Let's have 80s style gimmicks in a post-Attitude Era world!" and "Let's completely reuse gimmicks from the 80s and 90s".

Master's is a pretty good wrestler now and was having good matches on Superstars before he got released.

It is funny when Vince is really behind a joke gimmick, then negs on the idea when a couple weeks later he realizes, oh wait this is a horrible joke gimmick. Vito in a dress comes to mind

A couple of weeks? That cunt stayed in the dress for months. I think he even did a photoshoot for Playgirl or something (is that a magazine?)

Worst gimmick ever.

I don't think there is a single likable performer between that period of time bar RVD, Jeff Hardy, Angle (sometimes), and a few others.

Giant Bomb just produced a better build for the WrestleMania 2000 Royal Rumble PAX panel tomorrow morning than WWE had for Undertaker/Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX.

Forget Lesnar/Taker it was a better than their last actual Royal Rumble.

Not a high bar to clear but yeah.

So apparently if Naomi wouldn't have botched the Mania finish, she would have gotten a re-match on Raw and won the belt. But she fucked up, so that led to Paige's debut and win. Thank you for being a complete failure, Naomi.

 

[Nelo Ice]

So WWE Countdown is pretty entertaining. Have watched the one for Entrances and catchphrases so far and currently watching top finishers.

Ya. Shame he got overpushed way early. by the time he got good, no one noticed and it didn't matter anymore
