So funny how many people shit on Goldberg when, back then, I'm sure they were marking for him. He was great at what they needed him for: big strong squash machine.

I can honestly say I never did. To be fair, I wasn't too big on a lot of what was going on in any of the big feds at the time, but Goldberg just never clicked with me from his first match on.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Goldberg was nothing more than an untrained hoss that bought into his own hype. No one actually likes him, they just pretend to like him.

Indie wrestling posters are so passé, it's all about indie wrestling youtube trailers now;

The only POC I saw was a barefoot black man wearing facepaint, animal prints, and a feathered headdress. I thought we'd move past this Britain?

Wait, there's a TNA PPV scheduled for this Sunday?!

TNA Bound for Glory

Ultimate X match for the Ultimate X Championship: Tigre Uno (c) vs. DJ Z vs. Andrew Everett vs. Manik

TNA World Tag Team Championship match: The Wolves vs. Brian Myers and Trevor Lee

TNA Women's Knockout Championship match: Gail Kim (c) vs. Awesome Kong

Gauntlet match for No. 1 Contender's title: Abyss vs. Aiden O'Shea vs. Chris Melendez vs. Eli Drake vs. Jessie Godderz vs. Mahabali Shera vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Robbie E vs. Tyrus

Kurt Angle vs. Eric Young

King of the Mountain Championship match: Bobby Roode (c) vs. Lashley

TNA World Heavyweight Championship match, Jeff Hardy is special guest referee: Ethan Carter III (c) vs. Drew Galloway vs. Matt Hardy

Why in the hell Hardy is a guest ref? Why the hell TNA didn't push advertisement for their "flagship" ppv?

Since TNA is pretty much DOA...you would think they bring back Monster Ball for the Roo/Lashley match...

 

[Heel]

Big Country vs. Barricade. Can we make it happen? #BigFightFeel

 

[bjork]

You know, I used to know a dude called Big Country on another forum and he was into wrestling and training to do it. What if that was him?

Just catching up on NXT and it's crazy that when you watch Raw, the "Diva's Revolution" is not getting over, but the people lose their shit when you announce a 30 Minute Iron Woman Match for Takeover.

Take some notes, main roster writers.

Had Parents Night at my son's middle school last night, and met his counselor, who looks exactly like poor, broken-down 2015-era Bret Hart. Made me sad just watching him up on the stage.

They could do 3 minute vignettes about each girl and get them over better than what they're doing.

Zach. Please give something an A already. I need to know the curve!

 

[Sephzilla]

My mechanic right now is telling me the tales of how he banged Sunny a few times back in high school.

This is amazing.

go on

after NXT Takeover REvolution didn't he say that show might have been an A?

Big Country and Barricade ain't shit against Miniak.

Miniak dream match, motherfuckers. It says so right in the video title.

my god heel, you're bringing the thread down with your redneckness

and yes i'm the one telling you that

Christ, fuck going to India for that shit heap of a company. God knows what could happen over there.

This is their idea of getting Shera over as a star in the company so he can supposedly carry the tour over there:

he's just having fun out there, klonere!

Shera has a decent look tho. WWE could give him a shot after TNA folds

Why they didn't show any of the Becky stuff from the Finn doc or the Charlotte/Cole interview or any sort of video packages apart from that small one before the title match.

I guess exposing your talent as much as possible is how they get over! Gotta get that brass ring!

Look if you really think about it they've been holding Cena back for years. Dude will never win over ISEC or the rest of neckbeard masses while he's face. So despite all the work the dude puts in and strides he makes, chanting John Cena Sucks has just become a thing people do without any thought. This seems like a pretty deliberate decision made by the WWE to prevent Cena from ever getting too over, sure hes winning matches but dude is getting squashed.

Yes, WWE definitely wanted their top guy to be hated by half the audience. That's a thing they did on purpose.

 

[Plywood]

I've also noticed a trend where WWE is crafting a narrative that John Cena is some sort of master backstage manipulator in order to further turn the fans against him. Why else would multiple divas be told to bring up the tired sexist talking point of "Nikki's success is owed to whom she sleeps with"

This is because of WWE's tired approach of booking both to the masses and the smarks.

Because they're recycling AJ's storyline for Paige?

 

[Sephzilla]

If we apply #VinceLogic the whole "everyone bringing up that Nikki sleeps w/ Cena" thing is supposed to make the audience sympathetic to Nikki because everyone's being mean to Nikki and thinking she didn't earn any of this herself.

#RealLogic is that most of the audience goes "wait, Nikki is with Cena?" because that's the only time it's ever acknowledged outside of Total Divas.

If they did that, and Brock lost...I don't think I would be able to continue life.

 

[klonere]

The key losses are in Males 18-34, where Raw is down a whopping 21.7%

"Surprised" and "not" are two words that come to mind.

so all that's left are kids and old people who lost their remote 3 weeks ago?

I would be legit shook if Nintendo tripled down on the Wii name after it's so clearly obvious that the Wii fad is dead. That being said I'd actually like the Wii-U tablet to be an optional peripheral for the next Nintendo system.
