I'll start hating the Vaudevillians when they start recreating Birth of a Nation.
EDIT: Third place but whatever, new page!

Goddammit. It's all Aiii's fault.
He's the motherfucker that wrote Alexis and I ended up typing it too.
It was his plan.

RVD is acting like he hasn't been on NXT before. Also fuck why is RVD invading NXT
The Vaudevillains are tight. I think i'd prefer them as straight up silent film stars rather than vaudevillians though. Love the development of the tag team division in NXT. Call up The Ascension so they can job to the Usos already

Quiet you. >_>
Impact pls. I'm still not over you showing a main title match (that changes hands) for free and that the new champ is Bobby Lashley.
He was probably lost or something. Twice. And forgot he was there once already. I mean this is RVD we're talking about here.
Saw some of Regals commentary transcribed about the Valduevillians and now I can't wait to get home.
William Regal: "There's nothing better than seeing a chimp on a mic, is there? I-I-I-I-I..I'm - this is, uh, you couldn't get anything better to me than seeing the vaudvillains" ... "I love it! I mean we know about my friend Aiden, but Simon Gotch!! Do you know he was born on the carnival? His mother's the bearded lady, she's married -- she just remarried to the new step dad whose the rubber man. Now listen to me! Will you listen to me? ... she's pregnant. Simon asked them what do you want, a boy or a girl? She said it doesn't matter as long as it fits in the cannon! This is wonderful!"
"His sister is a fire eater, his other sister is a sword swallower."
"His grandfather was able to bend iron bars -- over his neck! When he was 91 years old!"

New wrasslin' book for the collection;
Seems well written so far, but I wish so many wrestlers didn't get their starts in American Football...shit's boring as hell.

That would imply an element of creative writing, only seen in the reveal of Aces & Eights...
Saying that, googling "lashley title shot 2009" brings up this forum posting from May 7th this year. Perhaps TNA were browsing the web...

That's just how it was back then. Plenty of wrestlers were athletes who couldn't make it in the pro leagues for one reason or another. When that career ended, someone would eventually go up to them and say "Hey, you're a big guy. You ever considered wrasslin'?"
Nice. I'm also planning on getting the PPV on TV to support the company. I reeeaaally hope they hit their buy goal for it. I'm not so sure their promotion has been that great for it outside of their TV show, though.

Jumbo Tsuruta vs Kenta Kobashi - (AJPW 1992/02/27)
Man, NOAH's July 5th show is looking pretty great;
. GHC Heavyweight Title: Yuji Nagata (c) vs Naomichi Marufuji
. GHC Heavyweight Tag Titles: Dangan Yankees (c) vs TMDK
. Special Singles Match: Daisuke Sekimoto vs Maybach Taniguchi
. Special Tag Match: Hirooki Goto & Katsuyori Shibata vs Akitoshi Saito & Katsuhiko Nakajima
. GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title: Daisuke Harada (c) vs Kenou
. GHC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Titles: Yoshinari Ogawa & Zack Sabre Jr. (c) vs Taiji Ishimori & Atsushi Kotoge
Yeah, I guess it helped that back then the money was a lot better as well - Beyer, for instance, had a choice between 4.5k a year as a football coach or $250 a week as a wrestler. You adjust for inflation and that'd be like Vince offering some kid just out of college 100k a year to be a wrestler.
The internet audience definitely isn't a priority for them - hell, they're barely advertising the fact that you can watch the iPPV via Ustream. Hopefully it does well for them on traditional PPV.

True, I'm just happy to see Sekimoto getting more work, dude deserves to be a bigger name than he is at present. I mean, goddamn, could you imagine Ishii vs Sekimoto?

I've found that, even if TNA does occasionally have bright moments from time to time, it's best to ignore them because it'll be no time at all before they manage to screw things up.
I mean, what the fuck do they seriously think Bobby Lashley is going to do for them? Unless the goal was 'Make TNA even more of a laughing stock', I think they've failed in their aspirations.

SLOW BUILD GUYS, AM I RITE
First black champ since their belt was introduced in 2007? That's about it.
TNA will never be good. It's just fact at this point. I don't think the company has really been good for any period of time. Certainly, there have been periods where they were sorta good or at least certain parts of the show were good. Roode's first title run, AA's rise, Joseph Park, esq. for instance are sort of recent examples.
But for every good example there's a Victory Road 2011, Brooke Hogan or Eric Young becoming champ four days after Daniel Bryan does outta nowhere.

The first month of EY's title run was really good. No complaints there.
I'm going to watch the TNA New York tapings. This is my personal last straw with the company. If something is good, I'd be stubborn to ignore it. I'm not optimistic, but we'll see.

You're such a whore, man. But congrats on the sex.
Aiii, I get where you're coming from, but there have been bright spots in TNA over the past six months. I'm starting to agree with Bootaaay that sitting through the crap isn't worth it just to get to those good parts. Maybe the only way to watch Impact is to read spoilers and track down the stuff you want to watch on youtube after the fact.

The most memorable part of Boondock Saints was a part of Roderick Strong's entrance for years. Movie is the Indy flippy guy match of action movies.
Here's a more balanced intergender match for you guys
They don't make female martial artists in movies like they used to.

Candice & Joey are #1 on my fave five tag teams at the moment.
Probably going to spend my lunchtime listening to these 16 bit versions of NXT songs.
What promotion?

They're doing the rounds on the indies, but mainly PWG.
This Vaudevillians gimmick is totally Chikaraesq.
The Throwbacks are better anyway.
Get to see The Throwbacks at Quantum of Solace tomorrow!
