As a Canadian, I still think this song is awesome
It sure does my digibrother.
Ah yes, the Hulkster is far better than John Cena, at least he's a character. Cena is a poor excuse for a man.
Cena is the ROOT of the problem.

Aries losing the X-D belt feels...right, for lack of a better word.
Needs the tag belts and the IWGP belt.

That ending segment was pretty cool, too. Not too much jibber-jabber, small does of action, fade to black.

I'd mark out if they brought that angle full circle. Sting and Joe vs. Aces and Eights.
Why? Because ninjas, that's why.

Im starting to wonder if they wont switch course and give Aries at least a short term reign. Aries and Roode are the cream of the crop in TNA. James Storm is not bad at all but Roode vs Aries could be a significant fued for TNA. Whether they stick with the original plans or not I think Aries and Roode are the guys they will build the franchise around. With guys like Angle, Storm, Styles, Hardy and Joe as the guys who are on the next tier. Aries and Roode really have the potential to be really, really special.

I agree and Storm has lost a lot of steam since the initial break-up feud. Lockdown really should have been the end of this chapter at least.
Jeff Hardy can bring entertainment to a big match.

They need to expand on Storm's character a little more. A beer drinking redneck only works if you are a human wrecking machine like Austin was. Storm dosent have that kind of draw though so he needs a little more depth. That being said I like Storm a lot and think he will be an asset for TNA but Aries and Roode are the only guys they have EVER had that can go toe to toe star power wise with guys like Punk, Cena, ect. As crazy as it sounds Joseph Park and Bully Ray are getting pretty close to that level and that is absolutely shocking to me. TNA is doing a good job building their roster across the board. Styles, Hardy, Storm, Roode, Sting, Park, Joe, Ray, Daniels, Aries and even Magnus are all guys that could be champ and it would be believable and not a reach. That is a lot of guys who can have matches without dragging feuds across multiple PPV's if they so desired. If they would get rid of Brooke and Garrett, keep limiting Hogan and keep Sting out of the World Title picture they would be golden.

Random idiotic bump of the day;
CZW! CZW! CZW!
Thank you
The pieces are falling together for a really strong main event and mid card picture, if only they can keep away from being TNA.

That is the big question. I think the ratings would be better for this live run if people werent so jaded by the crap they have done over the years. They really need to stay the course and take their lumps and earn peoples trust back. A stupid angle is forgivable but the company as a whole cant jump the shark again like they have in the past. I think Russo being gone will help with that though. The guy has had some great ideas but also the worst ideas in the history of the business. They need consistency and that was never going to happen with Russo.
2002 is still the worst year in the history of the WWE.
I dunno, the period I dub "The Rematch Clause Era" which went from sometime in the late 2000's to the Punk/Cena feud last year where every world title feud had a rematch clause match was pretty bad.
Uhhh, I hate "rematch clause" as it's such a lazy way to force a rematch. I mean, honestly, what kind of idiot puts it in every contract that you have to have a rematch every time you lose a belt?
I'm skeptical about her after seeing her high school photo. But would love to see this photo you speak of to get me on the AJ bandwagon.
PM?
It got really bad in 2009 - 2010 when you had 15 title changes with the WWE Championship alone....think about it, that's 15 PPVs headlined by a match dictated by a rematch clause.
Is that right?

Kane.
It was at that point that I honestly stopped caring about the title. It also doesn't help that it looks like a child's toy, and is treated as such by all.

Plywood, you into Twilight now?
Thankfully rematch clause booking seems to be out the door as they have found other ways to continue title feuds which has resulted in longer title reigns.
Not werewolf, just wolf.
So you're into wolves?
