He's not wrong. He wrestled four matches in one night and almost went the distance.
The ARE YOU READY Superstars opening
RAD RADFORD
DIESEL!?!?!?
This Superstars is hitting all my checkboxes
It's crazy with how much shit Diesel gets over his reign, when he turns tweener after losing the title, he's insanely over. JR even says, 'I gotta believe he's more popular than ever before'

Bart gunn is the realest shooter ever. Thing about that.
also the ending of this superstars is some sad story about shawn michaels 'injury' and how wrestling is really dangerous and the last bit is vince blaming the fans for shawn being injured for 'pushing himself too hard' you know, when he got his ass beat at the bar
getting that christmas list ready

I could never get into him back when i followed ROH a little more closely, he was doing flippy shit even while having the "Last Real Man" gimmick
Brawl For All had some entertaining moments but overall man, it was really what the Attitude Era was all about. I mean I'm retrospect. It had nice moments that people always bring up but it was filled with shit no one brings up. Bradshaw losing was dope. Bart being built up naturally was dope. All those other shitty matches? Horrible. You couldn't pay me to watch them again.

I was there. I saw it.
Isn't the backstory on that was that Butter was willing to make it a work, but they said no?

In retrospect, it was terrible and it effectively ruined the careers of Bart Gunn and Steve Williams. Most fights were shitty, some got legit injuries, taking away from the mid-card and IIRC, nobody was paid enough. Nobody won. Instead of saying "Fuck it, lets push Gunn." They quite literally sacrificed him to Butter Bean. It was gross and carny as fuck. There were no nice moments at all lol.
The best think that came out of Brawl for All was its theme and eventually Big Zeke's theme.
Sheamus?

It's funny they thought Bart actually had a chance again BB, that's why they picked him. Hell BB, was willing to do the job but they wanted to do a full on shoot.
It's adr
Bart Gunn had nothing going on anyways; he was lifted off of the scrap heap like almost everyone else in the B4A. Steve Williams was a bad idea in that he was well past his prime, but yeah, that did end any possibility he had losing the event built to get him over.

That's what he gets for being a "Samoan" in this business not related to Da Rock.
I thought there was something earlier this thread that showed/hinted that Nash was just working people with that shirt?

The pic is from a tweet that said something along the lines of
"I wore this shirt to see the reactions I got. Hillary, you're in trouble girl."

Even the match cards get 50/50 booking
Called it.
I'm genuinely intrigued by what they can do in a hell in a cell.
I wonder if someone will blade?
I already know the answer but it could be a pretty intense match as I'm sure both like their trend of putting on entertaining matches.

Hahaha!
At HIAC 2014, wasn't it a "double main event" with Cena/Orton and Rollins/Ambrose, sneaking the new guys past the "OMG why are THEY on last over established dudes" and ushering in a two-year run of main event dominance for Shield members?
Wouldn't it be nutty if the same was happening now, with this sneaking the women into the main event slot, and keeping them there for a while? If there's a building where it's a sure bet that the crowd won't crap on a Sasha main event, this would be the one.

In his latest podcast, Bruce Pritchard talks about pay issues that went down when he was head of talent relations in TNA.
- Bruce said he got made aware by 5 different wrestlers that hadnt been paid for 3 to 4 weeks.
- Bruce does payroll, turns it every week. So he calls accounting in Dallas, and is told checks with this check number was sent out on this day. He gets emails showing this information. So Bruce goes to the talent and tells them this. By insist they haven't got it
the excuse from Dallas was that it must have been their (the talents) post office. But the problem was there was a guy in tampa, l.a., sf, and they are not getting their checks...it isnt the post office.
so 3 to 4 weeks turns into 5 to 6 weeks, and guys are saying they cant afford to go to tv. Accounting insists they were sent out. Bruce advises that those checks be stopped, since they haven't been sent yet, and send it overnight to Orlando. Accounting says they cant do overnight...has to be 2 day air.
- Bruce shows up at TV and everyone got overnights. When he arrives, he has 3 guys waiting on him holding fedex envelopes saying "look at this shit." Inside were checks in envelopes, with a postmarks on them that matched the ones Accounting sent to Bruce...meaning TNA didnt stop payment and reissue checks, the fedexed the original checks to them, in the envelopes that were ran through for postage, but never mailed.
- Bruce doesnt name who these 3 guys are, but says they no longer work in TNA.
- Bruce also says that Hulk Hogan had pay issues while he was there.
- Bruce concluded saying he brought the check issue to Dixie THAT DAY, and her reaction was "well they got paid."

continuing the shitshow, Vader is now saying that he's being screwed by Ospreay/Rev Pro
reminder, he was supposed to lose and refused to leave his hotel room until he got to go over
not that you need a reminder, that's what he does every time
It's not about what they can do. It's that they're doing inside a steel cage.
The WWE used to reserve steel cage matches for the resolution of the most hardcore grudges. Now it's just another match type, and they're having three of them at the next pay per view.
He should had done a shoot at SummerSlam '96.
