TNA's big problem going forward in 2015 is that they laid off basically everyone on the side of the company that did the actual touring wrestling business. So they are a TV show on a third rate channel that can't make any money going on the road. They are fucked.

Any money they made off touring, they blew through completely and then some with just the NYC tapings. And they start off 2015 with 6 more of those.

Even if there were a way they weren't fucked, wrestling cockroaches that get conned out of money will survive the apocalypse, so there's not much to worry about.

YOU'RE GONNA DIE BUT IM NOT CAUSE IM IMMORTAL BUT AT LEAST YOU GOT TO GO OUT MEETING FREAKZILLA

 

[Man God]

The first set of NYC tapings this year was their only successful shows in this country. That's just sad. The second NYC and especially their second set of PA shows bombed.

Hey dudes, it's #HonorFriday.

Step 1: #WatchROH ep168 @ http://rohwrestling.com/tv/current

Step 2: Read and comment on the #WE review @ http://www.wrestleenigma.com/ring-o...-sydal-and-adam-cole-tune-up-for-final-battle

It's a good go-home show for Final Battle, and it features a very good match between Matt Sydal vs. Adam Cole.

I would be in on Final Battle if it were $9.99.....but $24.99? Meh.

I pay about the same attending an indie show. The price seems fair to me.

A young Datazord would enjoy a make a wish that involves a work invovling Vader punching all the doctors on his way to you and making a commotion with Harley Race rambling and screaming in the background and Vader pointing at you saying "YOURE THE MAN" over and over and over.

Hey stro, do you have a PS4?

Although it was originally announced for Japanese release as a PS3 exclusive, Godzilla the Game is also coming to PS4, according to its Facebook page.

So you people are saying I should watch Nxt if I want to see good modern wrestling on the WWE network?

 

[Jimmy King]

90s American Godzilla ended up being better than that piece of shit released this past year. Who would've figured that?

 

[Kaladin]

Talk Is Jericho Notes:

Adrian Neville said the WWE front office asks you to pitch name ideas that you would want. They take your ideas and give you a list of options that you choose from.

He never picked Adrian, but Neville is from a punk rock band.

Apparently Kevin Steen got a really bad group of names.

We're lucky we got Kevin Owens friends.

Except you're wrong.

90's American Godzilla is automatically disqualified by having the military kill Godzilla.

 

[Vylash]

we were so close to Kenny Finnigan

This isn't my hill to die on

but we can agree the new one is terrible.

 

[Sephzilla]

but we can agree the new one is terrible.

I liked the new one, but I wont say it was perfect or anything. I was kind of hoping we'd get a more Godzilla 1985 styled semi horror movie though.

 

[Kaladin]

Talk Is Jericho is interesting for Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville talking about the naming process in WWE / NXT.

One of Sami Zayn's name options? Hadar.

Terrible? Nah. Mediocre? For sure.

 

[El Pescado]

So you people are saying I should watch Nxt if I want to see good modern wrestling on the WWE network?

I've said this before and I'll say it again. If I could watch only one wrestling show a week it would be NXT.

Who WOULDN'T want that. That is awesome. Damn.

ROH has uploaded their latest TV episode to their youtube channel. It's 50 minutes of hype for Final Battle.

http://youtu.be/8iX-61G16Wc

Worth watching if you're on the fence about the PPV.

 

[strobogo]

Hey stro, do you have a PS4?

No. If I ever jump to next/current gen, I'll get a PS machine, though.

 

[Sephzilla]

god damnit, i laughed

New Godzilla would have been fine if it wasn't hyped to be something it wasn't.

 

[Sephzilla]

New Godzilla would have been fine if it wasn't hyped to be something it wasn't.

I think the second cut away from the action is really what soured people's opinions about it a bit. If that would have instead even been a 30-60 second fight sequence I don't think people would have complained nearly as much.

Who would have gone to see a movie hyped as "Really boring as shit long as fuck movie with a generic military dude lead with zero charisma who is even more tired in the movie than you will be watching. Godzilla shows up at the end. Go see X-Men and then catch the end as you walk out"?

Look, I know little Al is a sick kid and all, but:


“I like John Cena because I think he's a good wrestler and I like how he fights and everything. And I like that if he's champion, he doesn't go bragging about it,” Alfredo said.



What show is he watching?

I am a asshole.

Spoiler

He won't be watching that much longer.

 

[Sephzilla]

Even with its problems, the new Godzilla still had a few really good hype moments for me.

The buildup to Godzilla showing up at the airport was A+. Everyone shutting the fuck up when his foot stomped down was fantastic.

Showing up through the smoke/rubble to roar and start the fight? Yeah, boss.

The blue glow before the fire breath? Sweet

Spoiler

The Mortal Kombat fatality finish of the MUTO fight? Awesome

WWE wouldn't be around if Austin wasn't in his kitchen that day.

[Kaladin]

I loved the new Godzilla.

I was legit shook when

Spoiler

the crazy guy who thought Godzilla would save them all was actually right.

 

[Sephzilla]

Ken Watanabe's "I've seen some shit" face the entire movie was kind of hilarious.

I also give the new Godzilla bonus points for not shoehorning in some human villain nobody cared about. I had the admiral guy pegged for the guy who'd go borderline crazy trying to nuke Godzilla early on, but they actually kept most of the human characters acting like somewhat reasonable humans.

First act of Godzilla is cool.

2nd is filmed fantastic but kinda sucks.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I came in expecting "a new Godzilla movie, probably different from every other Godzilla movie, but still with Godzilla in it, and with appearance from Guy Who Plays Walter White"

I wasn't disappointed. Not my favorite Godzilla film, but not the worst one, and I'd probably rewatch it someday.

 

[Nekofrog]

is one of the name suggestions "darth icky"?

 

[Sephzilla]

Pretty much this. It's still better than a lot of the movies in the franchise. A good chunk of the 60s movies suck. A few of the 2000 movies suck too (but Final Wars was amazing).

Can we make it a rule to keep the sick kids out of these threads? I don't find the results of their inclusion particularly funny.

I'd like to see Lesnar vs Godzilla if we can't get Bryan/Lesnar.

Sami zayn's nxt promo was freaking amazing

When is he getting on the main roster?

Finn's accent is also so much more bad ass than shemoose's

He's still got a bit of development to do on the mic I think. That's the first time we've seen something like that from him, and it was amazing.....need to see more.

It's not tough to get laid, as long as you are wearing clothing. Sometimes without.

Bullshit.

Is that NXT superstar Hideo Itami?
