You'd love TBK. He was like the super hipster heel
Oh, don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against TBK.

Shit, that might just get me to tune in for one episode!
Is TNA willing to do it for the ratings spike?

i'd pay fat money for a Tito, Rampage, Kimbo three-way bout at TNA Lockdown.

Oh the insanity that was the championship scramble match.
How I miss thee.
Provided us with such memorable moments as the above.
I even enjoyed Zeke back then as TBK's muscle. He had such an amazing scowl. It was almost Mr. Hughes-like in its majesty.
one of their best gimmick matches honestly
I don't know who Cesaro is repping for anymore.
Bra and panties match vs playing Dead or Alice Extreme Beach Volleyball.
I'm gonna say imaginary, underage girls playing volleyball in strings is worse than a bra and panties match.
can't say I disagree.

The Brian Kendrick was one of the few wrestlers I just actively disliked, nuts to that guy.
Do they do these things to highlight how much worse the openings tend to get over the years? granted Raw still isn't anywhere near the lows that SD endures opening wise, might as well open with a music box lullaby these days.

That reminds me, yesterday night at sorta-Stro's urging, I watched Greg Valentine vs Piper at Starrcade 83. That was pretty good. Lotta blood.
I still can't tell if our TNA contingent was really down with the Menagerie or not but once they stepped into the ring they really underwhelmed.
EC III though is pretty damn amusing most of the time and an ok wrestler. Him and Spud work well together.
The chain shots to the ear were brutal.
I'm trying to fondly remember TNA and the things I liked, and it's kinda like late 90s WCW where it's not working. Like sure Daniels/AJ/Joe was a nice spotfest, but that's not the kind of wrestling I like.
I liked when Abyss wrestled AJ in the cage. I uhh..... I liked when Bully Ray first turned. I liked Kevin Nash in the X-Division. None of these are like 'amazing things I'll remember 10 years from now.' It's just the only stuff that left any kind of mark on me. 10 years from now, all I will remember is tazzjoinacesandeights.gif

They do get some scoops, but they're far from go-to.
If there are going to be cuts in NXT, it's hard for us to know who because we're not privy to the goings on in the Performance Center. They'll cut people who are not good enough and more importantly not improving, or people who are stagnant and haven't shown any indication that they have upside.
So the main people on NXT, are probably all safe, look at the people who haven't debuted on TV or done anything of note.
That said, NXT contracts are low pay, so if they're looking to slash the budget they're not going to get many dollars out of there.

You should hide botchedcomix DOT com behind a paywall, friend. This was very amusing.
Abyss hitting AJ with the cage in the face is like my favorite TNA thing ever. And it was apparently TNA's too because they replayed it 3 times. As bad as West and Tenay's 'acting' can be, I think they're strong in the match just because they really help sell it. They're talking about that match and nothing else. Not using it as an excuse to make dumbass jokes or talk about what John Cena is doing tonight.

Do you guys think WWE will be in financial trouble in the coming years?
Do you think the Network will survive?
I do not understand how a streaming site costs so much money. Is it the archiving? Its not like they are running brand new self created shows everyday. Why dont they just have ads on the network. Before and after any programming you watch.

Another reason to not watch raw
**Kevin Hart is hosting Raw tonight in Cleveland.
**Kevin Hart is hosting Raw tonight in Cleveland.
I'm in, if only for the possibility of a Kevin Hart / Hornswaggle stare down segment.
I just don't understand why WWE wants to put Ric Flair with Miz when Ric overshadows everyone. He did the same when they wanted AJ to become Ric flair jr. The Miz right now is the poster boy of fakeness that the audience picks up easy now. Putting him with Flair won't benefit anyone.

Botched Comix are the best.
Did I miss TBK appreciation time? This might be one of my favourite promos:

I may only like it because the only book they found for Zeke to read was something Dr. Seuss.

Aww man. Why you gotta hate on him?
Kevin Hart is terrible and only blew up because Katt Williams went crazy.

Kick ass tag match on the first AJPW TV episode of 1985 - Tenryu and Matoshi Okuma vs Ishin Gundan of Choshu & Hamaguchi. Okuma is great, stiff as fuck and has just about three moves; chop, punch, headbutt. To be fair, he does every variation of a headbutt imaginable. At one point he trades headbutts with Hamaguchi (another tough wrestler known for his headbutts) and just headbutts him in the goddamn face. Choshu's being a dick throughout (as befits the leader of an invading promotion) and the crowd pops huge when Tenryu gets his hands on him. Hamaguchi gets busted open the hard way (headbutt) and Choshu goes crazy in the finishing stretch. Great match, goddamn.

The Brian Kendrick was great, really won me over after awhile. If the WWE gave a shit about their cruiserweight division and still hadn't retired the title he would have really made a name for himself.
