I think Nakamura and Okada both not being champions adds some more intrigue this year. Honma has put in some good work, but it still would have been nice to see Ibushi in it this year. No major injuries has been a blessing as well.

It's honestly the saddest shit I've seen in a while. Shane so desperately wants the crowd to chant with him, but you can hear in his voice near the end that he's realizing the truth and getting sadder.

Beef, you're like two different people in WrassleGAF IRC. So weird.
When I saw this hat on one of the latest TNA NYC episodes, I had to jump on it:
I buy these hats because I LOVE the type of hat they use and it has been hard for me to find elsewhere. This hat just says IMPACT...that is it. There is nothing that ties it directly to TNA or wrestling, and I love that. It might as well say nothing, because IMPACT could literally be anything.
It's also much better than this one because this logo was kinda bulky on the hat:
Why are you guys ashamed of what you like? It's not like you're buying merch for those pedo anime games or something.

Sitting here playing BL2 on ps3 because Blizzard decided to lolly gag on Diablo 3 for Xbox one.
Oh and all my save data got wiped for some reason on BL2 and I lost both of my level 50 characters. Well at least I will get to play the dlc this time (even though I heard it isn't that great).

So apparently TNA thinks this matchup is a big deal....
Maybe back in 08 it would have been....but now? Eh.
It's gonna be legen...DARY.
On a serious note, Low Ki is still in good shape, and despite his size, Joe can still go too. I'm excited for the match. Should be a stiff strikefest.

What is he doing with his hands?Surprised this guy survived the cut;
Did he murder somebody?
Has he finally come to the realization that he has hands?
Is he looking into the future?
So many questions.
Ah I see they made it more jobber friendly.

I'm surprised that wrestlers like Cesaro, Ambrose and Rollins are being saddled with such generic themes, music doesn't make a wrestler but it sure can help in a number of ways.

What bothers me about Cesaro's theme is Cesaro's theme. Where do we stand on his miracle theme? I thought it was enjoyable.
Yup. Completely agree. If you're enjoying something you guys should embrace it. Speaking of that...
I bought tickets to see Limp Bizkit at the Best Buy theater on October 8 broskie's, On a scale of 1-10 why is this show gonna be a 10? I'm taking my wrestling mask. Gonna be a helluva time.

Miracle was an awesome theme, but it wasn't the kind that'd make you hype for someone, which is important

I was giggling in the theater when Batista started to talk.
I don't really know what I expected but I think it turned out better than what I thought these two would deliver. Loved the moment when they weaseled out of each others finisher.
I have not watched anything of G1. What have been the best matches so far?

I'm on part one and he dropped a swerve when talking about his upbringing that he says has never been revealed before, left me legit shook but you should listen to the setup beforehand to get the full effect. Out of context, it doesn't sound like much:
His adoptive father was gay
Nuts awesome. Ken Shamrock's story growing up is terrible, but the happy ending is him succeeding, of course.
Everything he says makes you realize if there's only one person on the planet you wouldn't want to get into a fight with under any circumstances, it's probably Ken Shamrock. That whole "never fight the crazy person at the bar" adage times a million.
Alex Riley is easily replaceable with myriad of people. Next.
Eva Marie absolutely sucks and is not a draw. Next.
Jason Albert is training now? Mmmm. Okay. Next.
Rosa Mendes hasn't been on Total Divas yet, so who's to say shes going to succeed on it.
Scott Stanford doing international promos? OH BOY. Next.
Tamina Snuka is injured. Yeah, they've never fired anyone who is hurt or comes back from a long term injury. Right.
You say that these nobody's are the companies "bread and butter" and you may be right.
But mark my words, once you start laying off "the assistants of the videopackage department" that's when things start to go downhill. Because people like that actually do a lot more for the company than you realize. WWE isn't some magic production where the Wrestlers just show up and things magically happen. There are camera people, sound people, pyro people, truck drivers, hair stylists, makeup artists, wardrobe people, electricians, catering people, etc... Once you start firing those people, the ones who actually MAKE THE SHOW HAPPEN, that's when the show goes to shit.

Awesome. Sold.
Austin is getting really good at being an interviewer, but he just isn't good at making uninteresting people (Christopher Daniels) interesting enough for me to want to sit through it all.
Thanks, gotta bookmark that. You should keep it updated for people like me who lag behind

I've warmed up to Ambrose's theme. The revving at the beginning gets me hyped and you feel like shit is about to go down. Similar to Brock's opening hook.
I recommend Frank Shamrock: Bound by Blood as an excellent follow-up.
So much pain and anger surrounding the Bob Shamrock compound. Will have to give the Stone Cold Steven interview a listen.
I kinda miss John Cena bringing out hilariously bad photoshops on the TitanTron.
