Tazz says dumb/inane things from time to time, but I don't think he's quite as terrible as everyone makes out. Don West was kinda bad, but I found his enthusiasm infectious.

There's nothing wrong with Mike Tenay. He's on the Mount Rushmore right there with J.R.

Wow, Manik got dunked on his fucking skull. I give that 4 out of 5 JEEEEEEEZZZUUSSSSS's.
Fun match, I enjoyed that. Tigre Uno looked better than I remember him being in AAA. Other than almost killing his opponent, I mean.

Storm has new heel music and a tweaked look
Looks kinda like WCW era Crush

Wtf James Storm has new music, now it's just regular country music rather than something about his gimmick...
Wait James Storm has a new gimmick? WTF? and he's the heel in this feud? I always thought he had a good thing going on...it resonated with the fans. You know who hasn't resonated with the fans? Gunner.

Going to post my wrestlemania 10 review after Walking Dead
. Wasn't able to resize all the gifs so some of them are a tad too big. Hopefully quoting them helps chrome from crashing.

He's perfecting his not-Undertaker look.

Gunner's tights look like they're made out of Wendy's burger wrappers.
Go fire up some WCW 2000 PPVs and see him as an extra. He looked like a teenager. He might have been one. He's most easily seen as one of the EMTs during the ambulance match at GAB 2000.

Stole one of Tazz's moves as he mentioned. He'll have words with him in the back and handle business.

I think I read that Storm and Harris used to be paired against each other a lot back then before they teamed up together. So many people in WCW who never got a chance. Also, I'm going to bed. This hasn't been a terrible PPV, but I'm tired.

Bullshit. He always goes off on some tangent. I think it's his voice that annoys the fuck out of me
I didn't really dislike JBL until about 9 months ago. He's gotten super obnoxious, almost as bad as heel Cole, but when he first came back he was pretty fucking awesome. And he's not nearly as bad when Lawler isn't there.....it's kinda strange. It's almost like he's in a competition with Lawler for who can be a shittier commentator.
Lawler sucks now. Period. Absolute trash on commentary and I really don't think he cares. I certainly didn't want him to die when he had his heart attack but I wanted him to go the fuck away.
I have nothing against Mike Tenay. Sure he was the weakest out of the WCW trio, but I certainly didn't dislike him
My dislike of Mark Madden has nothing to do with his commentary. I simply don't like how he looks. Stupid I know. But I also don't remember much about him. Forgettable I suppose.
Yeah Riley sucks....but I'm uhhhh.....kind of a Riley mark just because he's so fucking terrible at everything he does, so it makes me laugh. Yeah I'll talk shit about him, but I enjoy him too much to hate him for long.
I think my hatred for Taz is just because I'm watching TNA right now, otherwise I'd put him behind Lawler, but right now it's (in order of worst to not so bad)
Taz>Lawler>Heel Cole>Mark Madden>>>Alex Riley>>>>>>Tenay

Gunner has improved as much as any wrestler I've seen in the last couple years.
I don't think Storm was ever used as anything but a security guard/EMT type of deal, but Harris did wrestle on Saturday Night in 2000 and I think one Thunder. He was also one of the fake Stings at Halloween Havoc 2000. I think Cassidy O'Riley was used quite a bit as an extra as well, usually along with Storm. I think that was his name. He had fish eyes and was in an early TNA tag team. Sonny Siaki was another guy who was occasionally on TV as a security guy and had some matches on Saturday Night.
All the Natural Born Thrillers were all over Saturday Night in 2000, which had become basically NXT at that point, where it was just Power Plant guys and it had its own storylines. Jimmy Hart booked it completely on his own and it had nothing to do with Nitro or Thunder.
Holy shit...
That's REALLY bad. Is there only like 200 people there?
lol. Maybe they should reduce the 4 PPVs to just 1.

I remember that. Saturday night was actually really good for the first time in years.
JEEEESSSSUUUS @ that hit.
So more people are watching on PPV than actually in the arena?
Haha.

TNA needs to stay in Europe, I do not think they can survive in the USA.
It also had old guys and the TV Championship was exclusive to it. I recall a Robert Gibson heel turn on it. And Regal having a retirement match on it when he left for the WWF again. After a while they stopped plugging it on Nitro or Thunder. It was its own thing completely. Mark Jindrak originally had a gimmick of an evil basketball player.

That's only one small part of the arena. Show me a panorama shot.

That Gunner/Storm match is a perfect example of why I watch TNA. You can't get that match in WWE.
Mad respect to both guys. This is why I'm a TNA fan and when I'm proud to be one.

It was almost always better than Thunder.

Lamp me
Saturday Night was better than Thunder pretty much from day one. Every week they'd show the card for Saturday Night and it'd be full of boss cruiser matches or Finlay fucking people up or random big star wrestling in front of 300 fans. Meanwhile, Thunder would have Chris Adams and Crush.

How they can pay to all of those wrestlers? I SWEAR that here in my country (Chile) in any wrestling independent company they have much people in sits.
