The worst violation of that is when Hogan was going to leg drop the Honky Tonk Man. HTM was on the mat playing dead and Hogan was out of position so HTM turned his body 90 degrees to be in the right spot.

:lol::lol::lol:

I was getting into the habit of watching Lockdown every year to see how Kurt Angle's opponent would help him hit that moonsault from the top of the cage. Jeff Jarrett damn near rolled a 1/3 of the way across the ring to keep Kurt from missing completely and Kurt still only winged him.
With table spots like Alpha was hating on, the guys always need to do a better job of getting the other guy on there without it looking like he's putting himself on the table.

:lol:

However i think there have been far worst offenders who have made setups look more obvious, like any wrestler who's had to take the Swanton Bomb Van Daminator or 5 Star Frog Splash.

Rob's big moves looked better in ECW because he had Fonzie there to hold the chair a lot of times instead of his opponent.

Good news for TNA and the X-Division

Chris Sabin is expected back within the month

They need to stop using those pre-cut tables that can't support the weight of a person.

Side note: you see this shit?? These are the alternate designs for the WWE title.

Cena gets the Rock's logos removed from the new belt and puts his logos on it.

All the time. Cameramen need to do a better job of not catching it. Alpha needs to not pretend he doesn't see the same thing when he watches WWE gimmick matches.
I hate when you can see guys steering the other guys, like waving at them to "come on" to feed into their clotheslines. This happens in just about every match when the face makes his comeback and that is the "WWE style" leaking into every other company.
TNA would be making a HUGE mistake not keeping Adam Pearce. Shit, do him like Ivelisse and put him in Aces and Eights. He's the one guy who doesn't need to go to OVW for training and seasoning and is ready to go right now, in ring wise and mic wise. TNA needs to line up guys for the TV title and he would fit right in. They need experienced veterans to help the Zema Ions and Kenny Kings and they lack that with RVD and Kid Kash gone and Devon now working the top angle.

Dude, I have cousins and friends who are pro wrestlers, I've watched since I was a kid, I know about dudes setting up to catch moves safely. It's not that he did it IT'S HOW HE DID IT!! I don't know how to record and post but I know someone saw that shit. Ray told Jeff to hit him on the steps he did it and Ray moved like 3 feet back looking for the table, sat down slowly (because his fat ass broke the first table) not even selling the hit on the steps, and laid down on the table.

No one is talking about WWE, TNA is just poorly presented and has some true dickheads in the wrong spots. We can all thank that egomaniac Hogan for that shit.:lol: Bubba and Jeff aside they usually can have good matches. Prolly just a bad night, but watching TNA is just no very appealing to me I'll watch a episode every year maybe 2-3 but it's like the same shit every time.

-Hogan is either in or assembling a group
-AJ stylez or Sting is a wild card
-Said group is too powerful for the good guys
-Dixie Carter can't stop them
-Group begins to bicker
-Group is done

Every damn time

I just would like to see a better writer for TNA who doesn't let Hogan and Bischoff bitch them around. AJ, Aries, Roode, Storm, and a few others would give WWE a run for their money with some good storylines
 
So what do they do when a person wins the title who doesn't have their own custom logos? ​

Come on. You know 98% of those niggas will never have them shits made up. :lol:

The following most likely have logos:

John Cena
CM Punk
the Rock
HHH (You know he does)
Undertaker

These cats have a 50/50 shot:
Sheamus
Ryback
Mark Henry
Brock Lesnar

Vince McMahon probably has some shit made and will put it on the belt before the others do.
 
Backstage Update: Batista’s Return To WWE?

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Batista has been training for a return to wrestling and is close to the 290 pound mark (what he wrestled at during his last WWE run). Batista has said in recent interviews that he is interested in returning to WWE and possibly working with The Rock and Brock Lesnar.

With The Rock’s WWE future up in the air, and along with it, The Rock/Brock Lesnar WrestleMania 30 match, it’s possible that WWE could bring Batista in to fill The Rock’s role.

Batista does have a role in an upcoming major movie — Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy — which starts filming this summer.

We reposted the following on April 1st, 2013:

Triple H has recently been in talks with Dave Batista in regards to a WWE return for the former WWE Champion. Apparently the company has been “very pleased” with how much The Rock and Brock Lesnar have been able to improve business despite the limited schedules they’ve worked. Because of this, they’re willing to offer Batista a similar schedule.

The issue is really just coming down to money. Batista wants what was described as a “monster deal” to only work a few times a year and WWE doesn’t see his worth as “anywhere close” to Rock or Brock. Another issue is that WWE does not want to risk completely overhauling their pay scale, if suddenly all the top guys want major full-time money for sporadic part-time appearances.

Obviously, there are many in the locker room that aren’t happy about Brock and Rock working so little while making more than everybody else, but at least WWE is able to position it as The Rock being a movie star and Brock being a UFC star, and therefore being more of outside celebrities than full-time wrestlers at this point.

Nobody really sees Batista at that level, and word going around is that Batista is going to have to come way down on his money demands if he wants to come in. He’s eager to return part-time and Triple H is very much in favor of getting him back in the fold, but as seen with Steve Austin out year after year, it’s not always easy to get these deals done.

Backstage Update: Batista’s Return To WWE?
​
Wasn't money the reason that Dave left in the first place. Dude was feeling himself a little too much and thinking that he was on a Rock/SCSA level and should be paid like them. Doesn't seem like anything has changed. No way Batista is getting the same kind of deal as Brock or The Rock. ​

He'll fold. MMA hasn't worked out in his favor and I doubt he'll take movies by storm like The Rock. What else can he do? Shit, I remember how him and Lashley left because Lesnar was doing big things in UFC.
 
Whats up with all this Fandango shit? :lol: People thought he was corny 4 weeks ago. :lol:

How many dudes you know debut at WM??

All I wanna know is "Who's gonna break the streak"

FANDANGO Undefeated at WM. Heard he's fighting Big Show, Cena, and Sheamus in a handicap match for the title, I wonder what they gonna put on the sideplates for him.

What the hell ever happened to Bobby Lashley???? I completely forgot dude ever existed.

And while I'm asking where people are .... where the hell is Christian? Is he still signed to WWE and just riding this injury out until his contract expires? He should have never left TNA. Vince made it clear that he doesn't respect him as a main eventer.

I think WCW was the only place to use pre cut tables. Most of the time they use cheap tables and strip the metal undersides off. That makes them break easy but it also makes them weak as shit when a legit 270 lbs man puts too much weight on them too fast.

Dude, I have cousins and friends who are pro wrestlers, I've watched since I was a kid, I know about dudes setting up to catch moves safely. It's not that he did it IT'S HOW HE DID IT!!

I saw it and it looked bad but it's not even close to the worst and it's not the first time. It's still on the cameraman and the director to make sure you get off Ray as much as possible in moment like that. He should have done better and so should they.

I can't tell you to like TNA or anything else, it's purely subjective but isn't that exactly how every company, big and small, has operated since Dusty put together the Four Horsemen? Isn't that The Shield? Wasn't that Evolution and Legacy and DX and Nexxus and The Core? TNA stopped doing faction storylines for a while after Vince Russo was fired and now they're doing another one, I don't see the problem. You don't have to like it but if you only watch 2-3 shows a year, you don't really have a grasp enough to criticize it. If you did, you would see that AJ, Aries, Roode, and Storm get the majority of the show along with former WWE guys like Angle, Ray, and Hardy. Matt Morgan's being booked better than he ever has and he rarely wrestles.
I would do some things differently in TNA just like I would WWE but I've seen TNA when they were really trash (that first 6-8 months Hogan and Bischoff got there) and they're far from those days now. Bully Ray is the best guy going being called a "World champion" and that goes for TNA, WWE, and ROH (props to Jay Briscoe, though).

Whats up with all this Fandango shit? :lol: People thought he was corny 4 weeks ago. :lol:

He's still corny but sometimes corny can be entertaining. I just want to see how long this lasts. Vince falls in love with guys and gimmicks and they get pushed but then he loses interest and it's over for them and they're Drew McIntyre and Chris Masters.

What the hell ever happened to Bobby Lashley???? I completely forgot dude ever existed.

And while I'm asking where people are .... where the hell is Christian? Is he still signed to WWE and just riding this injury out until his contract expires? He should have never left TNA. Vince made it clear that he doesn't respect him as a main eventer.
​

Christian's supposed to be clear to wrestle, they're just waiting for the right time.
He made the right decision in leaving TNA. They weren't going to use him as a consistent main event guy anymore so he can work midcard for WWE for more money and always go back to TNA.
 
You think Bully Ray is better than Jay Briscoe Dave? I dunno about that one. He's more polished with promos but I could listen to Jay Briscoe talk shit for hours without ever getting near a ring.

This is part of the reason why I actually hate going to live shows. I remember the first time I ever went to a live event (In Your House: Mind Games PPV) during the Smoking Guns / Bulldog & Owen match, Billy damn neared rolled half way across the ring to catch Owen coming off a springboard. That fucked me up as a child. :lol: I like watching this on television where they can do quick cuts and edits so that we don't have to see the set up so blatantly.
Haven't thought about it in a while, but Mark Henry's in-ring debut was also that night :dance:

I think he edges Briscoe out because I know he can work on any stage. Some guys can prosper under the lights of smaller companies but don't do as well in bigger companies doing the same gimmick. Not saying Jay and Mark wouldn't do well in TNA or WWE (I think they could, especially in TNA) but he hasn't proven it.

​

Man, when a guy airballs a punch/kick and the other guy still takes the bump, that drives me crazy. It was harder to catch back in the day because it was less spot driven. That's why I like vets like Finlay and Regal and guys of that age range: when they get down in the crowd/ringside, they always throw stiff,hard shots to establish your suspension of disbelief.

This match is legendary:



I loved watching Regal teach on Tough Enough. The one episode he said, "I hit hard but in safe places."

:yes:
The Regal feud made him a name in the US but him getting in the middle of the Booker T-Chris Benoit feud made him a star.
I just saw Fit wrestle Jon Davis at the EVOLVE show in Charlotte last year and it was like a real fight, like MMA.

Wasn't Finlay helping to train the Divas at one point?
