Where is Sarita? Did TNA get rid of her?

Using the powers of the Internet and my ridiculously awesome research skills, I guess she's in Mexico wrestling for CMLL and Stardom?

Or so her Twittah Machine says. Mentions a lot about Arena Mexico.

Reading up, she left TNA back in January.

(and beaten...damn.)

Shattered Glass is probably the worst example to use. 9/10 times it will fucking cut you, lol.

Now, if she had said a pillow...

Yeah, I dunno.

I try not to think too hard about it.
 
Lacey was always the best.

AOTF Lacey > your favs

High Five.

I was a big fan of Lacey back in the day. The International Home Wrecking Crew were a great heel team in SHIMMER.

Lacey dropped off the planet as far as the wrestling world goes. Kudos to her for getting out when she wanted to I guess, and it's rare when you can completely go off radar in the wrestling world.

Maybe she took lessons from Shane Douglas, he did a pretty good job at getting out even though he didn't want to

I think I'm too old for wrestling t-shirts.

I dunno if old is the right answer, but I feel no need to promote a wrestler.

I love Mark Henry and I don't want to own a shirt screaming out "That's what I do!" on the back. Nor do I want one that says I will eat your lunch.

What about a shirt that says "I WILL EAT YOUR LUNCH" and on the back "THAT'S WHAT I DO"

Thought the wrasslin thread may appreciate this. I've posted about it before, but my bro is a big card collector and has quite the collection of wrestling cards. His set won an award for "Best Modern Miscellaneous Sports Set of the Year." It is the first wrestling set to be honored with an award from the PSA.

David Peck (dpeck100) - 1982 Wrestling All Stars Series A - Best Modern Miscellaneous Sports Set of the Year

You could argue that, when it comes to wrestling, the 1980s might be the Golden Age of the "sport." Yes, we just put the word "sport" in quotes because we are fully aware that this extremely popular form of entertainment is staged. That said, the level of athleticism shown by its combatants and the abuse these men put their bodies through should not go unnoticed. The critically-acclaimed movie The Wrestler, perhaps, captured that best. Love it or hate it, the world of wrestling produced some enduring characters from that decade. Andre the Giant (a tough #1 card in high grade), Hulk Hogan, The Junkyard Dog and Ric Flair are just some of the memorable names from the genre. This year's award-winning 36-card set ranks #1 on the All-Time Finest list with a GPA of 9.53, and this collector has really helped create awareness of this fan-friendly subject.

Hey WrassleGAF, I thought I'd share this with you. The Valley View Casino Center aka San Diego Sports Arena just sent me an email like they usually do with upcoming events and such, and this one was advertising their upcoming WWE show they're hosting. Check out the picture they used to promote WWE:

Tanahashi drawn as a bean for some reason;

I don't know what this means, but someone needs to use bean Tanahashi as an avatar.

The art looks like it's based off of Mameshiba;

It fits Tanahashi well, because HE MAKES ME SICK TOO *slams door*

ROH is done with live iPPVs. Their big events will now be video on demand.

Oh, wow. That's the right move, but wowser. They were the main innovators, and now they're out because they couldn't get it locked in. Damn.

Why can't ROH just do live regular PPV at this point? Sinclair should be able to lend some support in that department. They can do next day VOD online for fans who don't have access to PPV.

They did normal recorded PPVs back during the Gabe era and got terrible numbers. iPPVs are or at least were the better option for the fanbase they have plus their international customers can bump up the numbers a little bit.

I would imagine they would get bigger numbers with a live PPV now than their taped PPVs did years ago. The company's name is bigger and probably big enough to give that distribution method another go.
