I don't know where your mind is going, I'm just posting some pics of young AJ being a wrestling fan.
Yeah, but posting young pics of her in a thread that has also had pics of her in bikinis with a clear sexual undertone is just wrong.
 
Less creepy, more wrestling.

Oh wow, YOSHIHIKO is back, and for an epic rematch with the Golden Lovers;

DDT “ROAD TO BUDOKAN 2012”, 22/07/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

4. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Danshoku Dino & YOSHIHIKO

Yes! Yes! Yes! Here's the previous match from 2009 if you haven't seen it. I guarantee it's the best match involving an inanimate object wrestling that you're likely to see;

Also, DDT are holding another soccer rules wrestling match at the Budokan show;

DDT “BUDOKAN PETER PAN 2012 ~ DDT 15TH ANNIVERSARY”, 18/08/2012
Tokyo Nippon Budokan

4. 5 Vs 5 Soccer Match: X, X, X, X & X Vs X, X, X, X & X

As well as an INSANE main event;

5. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Kenny Omega

Can't wait for that one, and the last soccer rules match was awesome;

So not worth it

I'm terribly sorry, I did not realize people would look at these pics and put it in a sexual context.

My bad, I guess.

I got a wrestling topic going with Aries win how long should he hold the title to be considered a good title reign?

With this win they took out the remaining steam of the supposed Roode and Storm feud at Bound for Glory I wonder what happens. If Aries hold the title till September and loses it to Roode does anyone want to see him face Storm now?

I wonder where they are going with this because if his reign is 4 days or month people here will be mad.

I feel sorry for Storm because if he loses the Bound for Glory thing his "comeback" to me would have been a failure and if he wins his match against Roode has lost most of the steam it had when Roode lost yesterday.

It's just weird, dude.

Just plain weird.

I'm a fan of AJ. Not because of her recent run which got a lot of guys "interested" but because I like her as a wrestler and I like how she's one of the few women in the company that wanted nothing else then to be a wrestler. I'm a mark for her, so I post these completely innocent pics of her at a younger age, in that context.

I'm sorry if other people feel they'r now masturbating to an underage girl when she's on Raw, but I fail to see how this is much different from posting Kane family pictures really.

I'm not saying that you're weird, or that you're doing anything weird to those pictures.

I don't know. It's just weird to me in a thread full of pics of her in bikini photos to then see very young pics of her. That's just me, though.

*shrug* I guess.

Anyway, moving on, did anyone else get dissapointed that Joey Ryan wasn't in the crowd last night?

Well, I guess it makes sense since Taz wasn't there either.
 
You're really seeing things that aren't there. As said, she got a bit older and nowadays a team of make-up artists prepare her before each show.

Shao Kahn is going to have his mind blown when he first learns about make-up.


Not only make-up, age, and obviously being on a strict diet which does change the face (she's shredded)--but great lighting (WWE lighting crew/production is awesome) and being shot with good lenses by good videographers.

It's actually amazing she looks so much like her HS yearbook picture...

No, I don't think she's had anything done. In my job, I've shot pictures of the same talent over the years that have changed far more than that with no surgery, and I absolutely know if these folks have work done or not. I've probably seen more facial changes to some of my female models due to recent dieting trends, yoga, (a big one) pilates, and P90X-style cross-training, combined with aging than anything.

But as a photographer, I'll reiterate...you can't discount great lenses and great lighting. Crappy photographers can distort your face and body horribly using the wrong lenses or lighting. The right lenses combined with camera angles can compress or expand what you need to...lighting can do even more.

Here's how I'd do it - FANTASY BOOKING ALERT;

. Storm faces Roode at Hardcore Justice and wins clean, but Roode gets on the mic post match and mocks the fact that the only time Storm beat him was when he didn't even have the belt and now that their match is out of the way, when the time is right Roode is going to call in his rematch and get back his belt while Storm will have to work his way up from the bottom again.

. At No Surrender Joe wins the BFG series after Roode interferes to cost Storm his match. Storm is enraged, but Joe is happy, saying Roode hasn't done himself any favours, because while he may have beaten Austin in a rematch, he'll never defeat Joe once he becomes the next TNA champion.

. Aries retains against Joe at Bound for Glory after Roode again interferes to ensure that it will be Aries he faces for the belt, putting Joe out of action in the process. On Impact, Roode demands a title match, but is interrupted by Storm, who says that as the runner up in the BFG series, he should be next in line.

. At Turning Point, Aries defends against Storm and Roode in a 3-way match. While Aries is down on the outside drawing the ref's attention, Roode takes out Storm with a beer bottle and then pins him to regain his title.

. On Impact, Aries says that he didn't get pinned, so he deserves a rematch. But he's a fighting champion, and Storm wasn't beat fair and square either, so he proposes a no.1 contenders match live on Impact to decide who faces Roode at Final Resolution. The match goes to a 30 minute time limit draw, and Hogan comes down to announce that it will be a No-DQ 3-way for the title.

. Early in the match at Final Resolution, Joe runs out through the crowd and brutally destroys Roode, taking him out of the match entirely. Storm and Aries wrestle a good 15 minutes, before Storm gets the advantage and takes the win to become the new TNA champion. Post-match, Storm shakes Aries hand and offers him a rematch whenever he wants.

Foley vs Orton wads the last good match both guys had in their careers

Orton had some pretty good matches with Christian just last year, iirc.

You are right there, forgot about those. He was actually showing some emotion / personality in those matches. It is a pity they neutered him again after that, as even as a face that slightly unhinged / quick to snap character he was building was kinda decent.

See? It's easy. Just because wrestling booking has become horrible people in this thread think it's so difficult to create angles and switch things up on the fly without completely botching feuds and characters. Aries getting the rocket right now only AIDS in making what's happening with the championship MORE interesting. Giving him a short, cheap, Christian-like reign just to continue to the Storm / Roode angle would be the biggest mistake possible right now as they can have a really intriguing 3-4 way feud moving forward.

Net_Wrecker maybe everyone thinks its hard because they rarely ever do things right, or at least the way you want them. How could they constantly screw something up that was so easy?

I hope that happens but the whole Storm comeback was about his match with Roode and they will need to change the angle if Aries has the title. If they continue the angle as its going now it won't make sense if they have a 3-way. I have this feeling he is going to get the Christian title reign hope I'm wrong though.

TNA is doing alot better now but the ratings are the same. They are affected by this curse:

This won't happen....at least not this way. They have the BFG participants already booked at hardcore justice in 3 fatal four ways.

Orton's feud with Christian is arguably the best feud in Orton's entire career despite the fact that Christian was never put over clean. They had some phenomenal matches... and it could have really gone in an interesting direction had Orton completely FLIPPED OUT and went straight mental after Christian won the title back via DQ at MITB last year.

Not just for the aftermath of the match outcome but as a long-term change in character direction where he went completely out of his mind. Like Legend Killer-mode but on a completely different level where he was a threat to the company at large. Instead they gave that angle to The Miz and R-Truth where it was completely unbelievable.

Exactly, having him as a transitional champ helps no one, least of all Aries. But in Lagana I have faith - it's remarkable how much he's turned TNA around.

Well, they've been doing better in the past two months then they ever have tbh. If they keep this up and wait it out (and keep going live after the summer) they have a chance to slowly crawl upwards towards the 1.8 to 2.0 Smackdown range.

But again, we're talking at least a year or more here and they'd need to keep up this quality, which they never managed before.

It's possible though, Impact has been solid enough for them to gain interest.

So watching old videos on youtube, why did the WWE stop during the PPV recap packages at the end of shows?

Pretty cool to watch

Thanks for reminding me. I was pissed that I couldn't see a Wrestlemania recap package when I ordered it.

Probably. This isn't some top notch storytelling with Shakespearean dialogue focusing on the nature of man and how quantum entanglement connects a person with dark matter forces across the galaxy. This is wrestling. It's about using characters to entertain a crowd, both live and televised, using basic storytelling and continuity to create conflict, confusion, alliances, betrayal, and ultimately payoffs. Literally every angle possible in wrestling has been done 1,000 times over throughout history in reality and fiction. How they continue to get it wrong is astounding. The number one issue is lack of drama because the heroes never truly have cause to worry. Either about their health, about their status, or about their title. Without that drama, what's the point? It's like playing a game on babby mode just to steamroll enemies. That's boring.
