You heard it there first, JR already found them a new TV deal and they had a celebration. Maybe now they'll finally get real promotion, you know, like they never did at Spike or DA!

TNA fans are like those guys who invested hundred of thousands in Blackberry when the ship was already sinking hard, 100% blind and in denial
 
Love that NXT wrote Itami off in kayfabe and didnt just say "He got hurt and will be out for a few months".

Another thing main WWE TV could learn since it seems like they have given up writing off people for injuries and instead they just leave.

That's was some oldschool Sting attacked in the parking lot by The Horsemen shenanigans.

Also did it with Zayn via that main event beating. Pretty good work handling two bad situations happening at the same time.

I don't like chants of any kind. Doesn't mean I don't like a hot crowd. Just means I don't like chants. I don't think they add anything to the match and either make the crowd seem like they're bored or they're trying to get themselves over.

The only problem with moving Zayn, Owens, Balor, and Itami up to the main roster is "whose spots do they take"? None of them are going to be top tier guys and replace Cena / Ambrose / Reigns / Orton / Rollins level guys, so my fear is that they will be stuck in the mid-tier for a while.

I like the idea of Owens joining the Authority; and I like the idea of Zayn / Itami / Hideo being a small faction (even if not a formal faction, but just a group of guys who naturally stick together because they're all coming from NXT and all babyfaces) personally. I think one of the reasons the Shield worked was because they stayed as a tag team, they never had to be defined down.

What's wrong with being mid tier for awhile? Fans complain about the lack of a midcard, then complain when talented guys are placed in the midcard. Not everyone can be Hulk Hogan, somebody has to push Dolph Ziggler further down the card.

Definitely think it's the bolded part. It's a always that one section with people turning around to see who they are chanting against.
i was wondering the same thing

The last time he was on he was lurking in the shadows up on a scaffolding or something. Then he just disappeared.

This dude literally went to Wikipedia looking for "proof" that Meltzer must actually hate TNA and that's why he's saying Impact is getting cancelled, it must be evil bias against poor TNA.

There's a level of devotion to a show you shouldn't reach.

It' a level of devotion you shouldn't have to anything. Reminds me of console warriors.

He also took a picture of his computer screen, which is running Windows XP. I bet hes one of those weirdos that think Windows 7 is some NSA thing.

No doubt that's true.

generally because mid card means you don't have any compelling storylines with consquences and you flounder for months if not years with no forward moment unless you are hot-shotted to the top within a year or two.

best example of this right now would probably be Cody Rhodes

Windows 10 is killing Windows Media Center. Sucks. I had my own DVR thing going.

I really thought it be on Xbox One , one day.
 
The crazy part is if you listen to an observer show. Meltzer has been complementing TNA, Espcally the James storm,stuff

It's like Ithil said, and others said yesterday I belee. The show's been better than it's been in years.

It's just a WCW situation of it not happening until it's too late to change things.
 
I love how not liking TNA means he's a WWE shill. Does he ever listen to Dave? If anything he should be called a NJPW shill.

And a TNA shill - Dave's been VERY POSITIVE about TNA's actual programmings since the DA move.

remember when dixie called TNA's fanbase mostly basement dwelling nerds

And 40 Year Old Virgins during the whole Congressional interview stuff after the Benoit tragedy.

No one at the top of the card has a compelling storyline that means anything either. There's a bigger problem going on here.
 
Is the original Xbox the least appealing retro console to collect/preserve for? I see the system, accessories, and games all the time and I feel nothing, zero nostalgia. It's funny because I thought I f*cked up at the time by buying a GameCube at launch instead but now I mark out every time I find GC and even PS2 stuff. Shenmue 2 is the only game I can think of that I want to play, every other title seems like it's been remade multiple times over for new consoles.

Bryan and Vinny show definitely like Impact and always crediting them on how their stuff has been great as of late. They even had EC3 and Bobby Roo on to promote themselves and Impact. I wonder what other network might want wrestling on their programming?

I'm sure DirectTV has a channel running Friday Night Lights reruns they could shove Wrestling on.

The least? Not to me. Those Halo Lan parties are some of my best memories.

Digital streaming world is a mess.

Got my kid a 99 dollar kindle and now I find out the vudu app don't work on there..or the google play store for that matter.

I mean I guess I knew, but I'd figure the amazon store would have that app. Vudu is on fucking everywhere.
NOPE.

At least it has flixster which sees all my ultraviolet movies. But...not the disney ones.

so fuck.
