I wasn't watching WWE at the time but I heard that he was pushed, flopped, and then became like some great wrestler. Not the case? I don't care for him because he has that dumb tattoo and looks weirdly shaped. It's cool he ripped a tree out of the ground to save his mom tho.

I've been the Betrayer a couple of times, it's awesome. There was one scenario where one of the conditions was the players taking damage every turn. I couldn't hide my smile.
Masters, like most WWE midcarders, is very likeable when actually given a chance to show it. I don't remember a single match of his though, which I suspect is what you were talking about.

Yeah, pretty much. Masters was a perfectly fine wrestler, he may have even improved since leaving WWE, but good god were his matches dull. He might be good for GFW, but on the indies he's just an overpaid, overhyped ex-WWE superstar that, personally, I wouldn't ever pay to see.

Yeah, I think that was the issue - he always seemed to be bought in as a Main Event attraction whenever I saw him booked on shows.
Man that seals the deal, I am buying this game.
We need more wrestling options in the boardgaming world. All we have now is Filsinger Games and this new KS game.
Does anyone play Filsigner games?
I know a large group out of the south Chicago burbs that formed playing RAW Deal and have stuck together.
I would probably buy into a new WWE TCG like a sucker that I am.

I saw a strange Wrestling D&D Style RPG on Amazon once, but the reviews slated it.

TNA with some ROH talent and NJPW gaijins when they aren't on tour. Ehhhhh, pass.

Russo debuted a column on a new site "CHAIR SHOT REALITY" and said that Sami Zayn does not equal ratings and the fans are idiots who were just marking out.
Russo is the worst human being in all of wrestling.

You may like that, but you know who wants to hear about names who've wrestled in places they've heard of before - TV execs who actually greenlight TV shows.
Masters is really, really like among the ProWrestlingOnly/DVDVR corners of the Internet.

No, TNA would've gone bankrupt without Dixie bailing Jarrett out. TNA has always been a failure, propped up as a dim bulb scion of a rich guy's plaything.

I'll be watching GFW. New Wrestling is New Wrestling, even if it's old wrestling just being renewed to be new wrestling and not old wrestling. HH

Expected and not really that bad. If they can get NJPW guys though they should have got the Bucks and AJ too.
The Young Bucks.
agreed, but he at least knew somewhat of the business compared to Dixie.
The idea that Big Show would be Justin's best friend and have to constantly stop Cena from beating the piss out of him sounds like gold.
In a way, that is way worse.
Lol of course Cena is Boardwalk and Ziggler is Baltic Ave.
He was in the WWE, but it was just for a little bit of time.

I doubt WWE would want Styles and I doubt Styles would want to work for the WWE since he's thriving hard in NJPW/ROH.

He'd probably be called Carl too.

You should really, really read JTG's book.
alrighty
Does it say something about guys not being paid well?
true, but on a realistic basis he'll be in the states....even though he would have to deal with that scary ass schedule
.Getting it...but 50 pages though :/. I guess it suits the price for it.
50 pages is nothing. I finished Bret's book

Totally fair. It's a fucking dollar!

It's a dollar and it's consistently hilarious and horrifying.
Multiple examples/occasions.
Thats the point.
He was in the WWE for a good minute sitting in the back. I know there's more to tell beyond 50 pages.

If Styles is telling the truth dude is making quite a bit North of 400,000.00 on the indies and Japan without dealing with any of the BS that goes on with being involved in WWE. He'll never have a huge legacy without the WWE but I'm sure he'd rather just take the large bank account.

He got a developmental offer after leaving TNA, but for far less money than he was making even in TNA.
The promotion barely has an audience and the company only survived because Dixie Carter was a Hulk Hogan mark and got her parents to invest in it with her. It has been an embarrassing promotion long before Dixie took over though and Double J should've known better in a lot of cases as far as booking and running the show went.
A clueless Hogan mark that wanted to be in the wrestling world is less sad than a man who has wrestled for decades and whos father was a promoter driving his company into the ground and then getting forced out.
And here we are again. Another Jeff Jarrett promotion with a "LIVE" roster reveal that is drawing a resounding meh across the internet. One that couldn't even be promoted properly with a damn live stream. People got most of the news from a guy recording Instagram videos. And this is supposed to be on TV? Christ almighty.
Jeff Jarrett is great at one thing: Parting fools like Toby Keith from their money. I give him all the credit in the world for that.

TNA was nothing but a vanity project for Jeff. That's the reason Jerry pulled out almost immediately, he realized Jeff wanted to relive his "glory days" in WCW, not run a financially viable business.
Are you trying to tell me PJ "DAREWOLF" Black isn't a cornerstone guy?
