Damn not Mae Young........90 years old....what a great life. When she had her birthday last year she looked good for her age man. Seems like every year you were good for atleast one Mae Young cameo.....

Mae Young was still taking bumps just up until a few years ago..crazy
She probably trying to show off her puppies up in heave right now :lol:

RIP Mae Young
 
And Batista was at his best right before he left as a self absorbed asshole. He'll probably come back as cookie cutter, bad promo giving Batista.

That's what I think too. Since he's coming back with a deal like RVD, he'll be there just regular enough for them to fuck him up.

Yea to be honest? I like the roster now as opposed to early 2000's. A lot of talent on the roster. Stone Cold, Rock, Undertaker.......all those main event guys were on their way out. Now? I feel like the main event guys like Punk, Bryan, etc. are on their way up and in the prime of their careers.

They had a lot of midcard guys and they were still doing the brand extension strong. But if they could get Rikishi and Too Cool over like they did, they could work with anyone.
But I can't shit on the early 00s roster. That's when they brought in a lot of WCW guys and had them working underneath. You can't lose with Booker and Edge working your midcard.

This is another example of why TNA continues to lose. Dixie had a chance to bring in Paul Heyman to lead things and she didn't do it cause he wanted the power to fire whatever wrestlers he didn't want and she wouldn't go for it. He was going to bring in and feature Daniel Bryan along with hiring Gabe Sapolsky to help write. That company could truly be a #2 if that would have happened.

Seeing that Bryan was with WWE at the time, that was out of the question. And even if they could have gotten him, it wouldn't made a difference. They brought in Jeff Hardy when he was the most popular guy in WWE (his exit is part of the reason we've been stuck with Cena vs Orton since 2005) and it didn't move them much.

This roster ain't fucking with the 00-06 rosters.



We're going to have to agree to disagree because we've gone back & forth when it comes to wrestlers/booking. The wwe looks more and more like a an indie scene and as much as internet fans hate it you have to admit wrestling needs "big guys". I still think you could give these current guys the perfect booking and it still wouldn't matter.

If you have guys that can work and talk, then the only thing holding them back, drug suspensions and injuries excepted, is booking. Storylines and angles make wrestlers, not moonsaults and superkicks. That's why bookers got paid more than wrestlers.
You definitely need big guys and if you have too many smaller guys, no matter how good they are, you lose something. Tag teams and smaller weight classes were made to let the smaller guys show their stuff.

Since they wisely pulled the trigger on the Outlaws turn, while they have them, they need to have them face the Rhodes at the Rumble and then build a real feud (with them getting heat and everything) with the Usos, putting over both teams. That would be huge for the Usos since they're the only regular, full time babyface tag team that gets any tv time (Los Matadores? :hmm:)
 
Side note... i think its crazy how HHH had a feud with pretty everyone you can think of... more than once

but i think he is best has a heel, so is cm punk... but they wont do that...just in 2011 he was all the way turnt in that heel role.now he watered down

i like cena better as a heel but they will NEVER do that. it could be a potential hogan-like NWO heel turn and vince cant take that hit.

but i do like daniel bryan where he is no... that "yes" chant is a hit and people have been doing it outside of wrestling related events. NOBODY got over like him.
 
Dixie Carter is tweeting that the initials of two of the new additions to the roster are DR and EE. If it's anyone other than Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, it will be shit on right and left no matter who it is.

The live Genesis is the real beginning of the new year and direction for TNA so I hope they get it right.

That was the time period after Bryan had gotten released by the WWE. As for Hardy they did get him when he was the hottest thing in wrestling but between their bad booking, his court situation at the time, and his own screwups after he got there it could matter only so much.

Again this is based on Heyman and Sapolsky being the bookers of TNA. The current regime much like the Russo regime never just let things progress. Too many times they've gotten a guy over with the crowd and then sandbagged him before he became a star in the company.
 
Good move. I haven't heard what kept them out of WWE but this is great for all parties

TNA SPOILER UPDATE
by Mike Johnson @ 3:52 PM on 1/16/2014

The American Wolves, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, are backstage at TNA Impact and will be debuting tonight.







I've been reading about a Kofi gimmick and possible heel turn. Seems like they finally want to get it right with Kofi. Will they is a bigger question. But if they just gonna have him lose to Mr. Perfect's son or Ryback or some shit just to job? They can save that shit.

Unfortunately, that's what I see for him. Punk vs Heyman was a good time to turn him, using his and Punk's well known real life friendship in the story. But they didn't.
I hope they do something with him but I see Orton kicking the shit out of him like he did Miz, who never got his heat back.

And you're right about Bryan. I won't lie. I thought his potential was probably US Title or Intercontinental title or something along those lines. I never thought he'd be a main eventer. He's not only a Main Eventer but probably the biggest guy in wrestling....Actually there's no probably about it. Nobody is fucking with him right now.

I thought he had main event ability but I never thought they would push him into that position. He's the man right now. It's impossible to tell where they're going with him since Brock and Batista are already back and RVD and Jericho are coming back and of course they have to make room for Taker's annual exhibition.
And they're putting the rocket up Roman Reign's ass so his push is coming.
What happens after Bray Wyatt? What happens with Bray Wyatt? They have the opportunity to make a lot of new stars but they have a poor recent history of actually doing it.

That entire opening was horrible from start to finish and Dixie stumbling over every other word didn't help either, that opening reminded me of Triple H when he would hijack the beginning of Raw back in 02-03:smh:

I'm funny because I never hold it against people when they stumble over words because people do that in real life and I like wrestling to be as real as possible but, like the "evil executive" gimmick, I think the days of long opening promos segments should be dead (they never should have existed in the first place).
Ray and Anderson just can't have a bad match. Bully Ray might be his best opponent, even better than Angle.

Glad to see the Wolves but they should have booked the Wolves to kick the shit out of somebody last night. No great matches, just a raw bones ass kicking to get them over. Not Fernum and Barnes, the new Mulkeys, because that would make them heels, but bring in some nobodie, have them heel it up and act like the promised new talent and have the Wolves stomp their asses for 5-7 minutes.
 
Releasing KA was a huge mistake by Vince, i know he was a little reckless and he screwed himself over by getting busted for PEDs but dude was ridiculously over. Bubba looked a little like a fat CM Punk when he came out with the hoodie last night:lol:but while i feel his act has gotten a little stale he's still a top notch performer. I get what you're saying about the stumbling because i'm the same way when it comes to matches, i don't like matches that move to flawlessly because it looks so rehearsed so i like a little ruggedness.

Especially if the talent covers it well. I'm not a "You Fucked Up!" guy (that shit is so disrespectful).
But when they pull an Orton and completely forget their line, that shit is crazy.

TOMMY DREAMER-TNA UPDATE
by Mike Johnson @ 12:51 PM on 1/18/2014


Tommy Dreamer was at Thursday's Impact Wrestling taping. He was officially welcomed back to the company during the talent meeting and worked as an agent for several matches on the taping.

Whether this was a one time thing or leads to a larger role for Dreamer within the company will remain to be seen, but John Gaburick has been trying to build a new office staff for the company in recent weeks.


And the Wolves are still fulfilling their indy dates because Davey just wrestled last night here in Charlotte for Premiere Wrestling Xperience. I've long thought that's the way they could meet AJ halfway and maybe they did but they couldn't agree on what halfway was.
 
Anyone familiar with Wrestling Cares Association?? I'm here at the event because I was hired to play the punk ass national anthem :lol:

Sports Crowd Responsible for D-Bryan Turning Back?
Posted by Steve Carrier on 01/18/2014 at 10:04 PM


When WWE first had Daniel Bryan join The Wyatt Family on RAW a few weeks back, they had two matches lined up for him at WrestleMania XXX - one that would see him still a member of the group and one that would have had him back to being a babyface. There was no real solid plan on turning Bryan back babyface but it was not supposed to happen just two weeks later, like they ended up doing.

The idea was that Bryan would either turn back at Elimination Chamber, setting up Bryan vs. Bray at WrestleMania XXX, or he would turn at WrestleMania after coming out for a tag match with Wyatt. This would have guaranteed the big babyface reaction at WrestleMania.

Word within WWE is that the company was "100% fully embarrassed" by the footage of the Michigan State crowd all chanting "yes!" in unison. The footage ended up everywhere online and on TV shows, with Bryan and WWE getting a mention. WWE wanted to run with the Daniel Wyatt storyline but, "when you have a whole college arena doing "yes!" chants and most likely others will, plus NFL stars in the post-season doing it," WWE felt they had no choice but to hurry and turn Bryan back on RAW.

 
thats why that nigga opened his shirt when he got to the ring

that shit was strangling him to death :lol:

Motherfuckin jeans had him in a Boston Crab

Shirt had him in a full nelson. If he hit the mat at any time with that shit on, he would have tapped out. That's why he did a powerbomb instead of his normal shit.

:smh:
Hotshotting is one of the main mistakes WCW did. If you have a story, do it and build it. It's not like they didn't see how popular Bryan was already. Now they've just killed two months of story in one week, if this is accurate. So now what do you do with Bryan and Bray after the Rumble?

WTF is up with Batista and those size medium clothes :smh: How the fuck you 6'5" 290 wearin some skinny jeans :smh:

thats why that nigga opened his shirt when he got to the ring

that shit was strangling him to death :lol:

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I saw that shit and I thought "Damn, I'm getting old because that shit looks snug as hell on Dave." But then I remember he's older than I am.
The Rumble is Sunday, they should have held off on his face off with Randy until next Monday and instead let him face off with ADR. Not powerbomb him, make people pay to see him beat Del Rio's ass in the Rumble.

Are we supposed to have forgotten that Batista was crying like a little bitch the last time he was on TV? :rolleyes: :lol:

Yep. We're not supposed to remember shit from a few weeks ago so you know some shit that happened years ago is ancient history.
