Getting back into wrestling,oddly, because of the Retronauts episode about old wrestling games.

So is playing the Attitude segment of WWE 13 a good way to continue my return home?

I like that part of the game a lot, so yeah I'd recommend it.

 

[Serpentine]

Watching Shimmer is a lot of fun, like, really a lot, it's different than WWE, but I would say as fun.
I get, tho, when HHH says they lack psychology in general; matches are usually spot to spot to spot to spot and the selling is kind of weird to see, too; it's not Eva Marie level of not selling, but they usually go for the pantomine and comic effect, I don't if intentional or not.

But anyway, yeah, girls are great, I haven't watched it all yet to say a favorite and am not familiar enough with them to name names anyway, but props to Leva Bates with the gambit cosplay. That is awesome gambit cosplay.

This is very relevant to my interests. Which Shimmer event is this

TNA's library doesn't really offer anything of value to the WWE, so I don't see them buying their library. They bought up tons of Territory era stuff because it's important to wrestling history.

WWE are hoarders of wrestling history and I don't think TNA really fits into their narrative of wrestling history.

I think they'll buy it just to own everything that was ever any kind of major. The more they own, the more DVDs and Network subs they can sell. Plus, they have Sting under contract now, so they could want his stuff so that they can own his whole career in a sense.

 

[Tim-E]

If nothing else, I'd love to see them make an episode of Countdown about awful TNA gimmicks and matchtypes.

 

[avengers23]

Remember when TNA was a hot up and coming wrestling promotion created to challenge the WWE?

Remember when TNA and Spike tried to start a new Monday Night War and was crushed?

 

[Man God]

I don't like TNA but as a hate watch/to see certain gimmick matches on the Network? I'd probably spend a few months watching it.

 

[Serpentine]

A list of dumb gimmick matches in TNA would make a pretty good Countdown episode

 

[avengers23]

Lol

They would have banned him just to keep that woman with the piercing "IBUSHI!" screams out of the arena.

 

[serenewarfare]

I wonder if they'll do interviews with Sting and add them into the Monday Night War series debuting in a few months.

 

[Vylash]

Electrified cage, empty arena, reverse battle royal, king of the mountain, the list is endless

 

[slightconfuse]

Leva is awesome . She cosplays for every match

Yes, the reverse battle royal, electrified cage match, feast or fired, escape the cage match and fish market street fight.

Also, tna has great merchandise:

I don't... what

does he carry around an umbrella or something and I just haven't noticed, or...?

 

[KissVibes]

I'll say this about Jeff Jarrett, he's real good at wasting his and everyone else's money.

 

[Vylash]

he comes out with an umbrella during his entrance

 

[serenewarfare]

It takes real skill to come up with that many dumb ideas in such a short timeframe.

TNA wrestling history won't bring many new people to the WWE network, if they got offered to own the rights for cheap they will probably take it though.WWE is better off spending its money on original content to draw new people to the network, that is were they are lacking.

I've been watching on and off for the past month and didn't know this

Now that I think about it I haven't seen an episode where he actually makes an entrance

They library will probably be sold for a low price, so it's almost a no risk proposition for them. It's not about being able to say "we have the TNA library", it's about being able to say "we have every single sort of significant wrestling library of the past 35 years". It by itself may not bring a bunch of people, but it is an addition to an already huge backlog of content.

 

[Data West]

Kinda nuts that Cody's only 28

 

[Soup Bar]

Leva is awesome . She cosplays for every match

If you shoot that gun at her, I'll disqualify you.

 

[Serpentine]

Most recent one.

Alright sweet

Kinda nuts that Cody's only 28

That means he still has time for his main event push, right? Right?!

[Singularity42]

I'm really in the mood for a good wrestling game. Shame there isn't a recent one out there. I really can't support the garbage yukes throws out there. It's the same reason I stopped buying madden years ago.

Some News:

Brock Lesnar is not booked for the WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view and likely won't be back until SummerSlam. There's been speculation that he may challenge Daniel Bryan for the WWE World Heavyweight Title.

Hope that happens

ESPN is expected to make a major play for Renee Young soon. She has impressed a lot of the networks with her smoothness in her work with WWE since coming from The Score.

Noo!!

 

[Data West]

There is so many freaking diva avatars in here.

 

[serenewarfare]

Noo!!

She really loves wrestling, so they'd probably have to overpay her to get her.

 

[avengers23]

Leva is awesome . She cosplays for every match

She would have fit right in Urban Wrestling Federation: http://youtu.be/MVF3-7BYePM

 

[Sblargh]

It's what I think for anyone under 30. Even for anyone under 35. You won't be Cena and stay 10 years at the top, but he and other young people have all a solid chance to eventually being main event material.

 

[Toki767]

ESPN apparently doesn't pay very well. Plus Renee actually seems like a wrestling fan, so I doubt she'd go.

 

[Uno Venova]

Plus there's the titty master factor.

 

[KissVibes]

It'll probably never happen.

They were building a big storyline around him, Sandow, and the WHC. It flatlined and Cena got the WHC and magically beat Sandow in his cash-in attempt after being beaten on for like ten minutes by Damien.

They were building a storyline around The Rhodes versus The McMahons. It was going and then SWERVE! IT WAS REALLY ALL ABOUT THE BIG SHOW.

Now him and Goldust are in tag team hell and while hey, both are totally great at wrestling. I hope Cody will get a big singles push to being world champion. He's been fantastic for years. An absolute natural.

I bet we don't even get the Goldust vs Cody WM retirement match.

What can I say? I have a soft spot for funny beautiful women who can powerbomb.

Aiii, serene, sblargh. That's only 3 m8

TNA's library doesn't really offer anything of value to the WWE, so I don't see them buying their library. They bought up tons of Territory era stuff because it's important to wrestling history. They bought WCW because they were serious competition and that alone is valuable to them. ECW had a signfiicant impact on WWE's product. WWE are hoarders of wrestling history and I don't think TNA really fits into their narrative of wrestling history.

WWE will be the only bidder just like they were with ecw so they will buy it cheap just for the sake of buying it. There's no reason not too.


and in 15 years there will probably be idiots clamoring for the good old days when tna existed, even though it was pretty much horrible the whole time. See: WCW and their library content.

They have the last matches of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Mick Foley, Chris Candido and years of Sting, Angle and Hardy matches. Even if they don't want to give it any importance I see them buying it.

 

[Serpentine]

Oh yeah, boootaaaay has one as well. I guess that makes at least 4!

One of those is not like the other.

You guys think we will ever see any of this pile of crap on the network:


"Although not wrestling content, WWE's holdings also include footage from the XFL (2001), the World Bodybuilding Federation (1990-1992), motion pictures from WWE Films (2002-present), the Hulk Hogan film No Holds Barred, as well as the Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n Wrestling CBS cartoon series."


I hope so.

I hope so too. I doubt we'll ever see XFL. Probably low on their priority list. Rock n' Wrestling needs to show up though, same with WBF for obvious reasons.

 

[Spider from Mars]

TNA's tape library would be worth owning. There is a lot of great stuff.
