THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
Now I'm really hoping that ROH can get a new TV deal.One that will allow the masses to see their product and not just the few people who got HDNET.I'll assume that he'll be heading back there unless he somehow gets in FCW and links up with Xavier Woods(aka Consequences Creed) and his girlfriend AJ Lee.
The Hogan/Bischoff regime is so out of touch that I don't feel right laughing at them. It almost like being mad at the child with mental retardation for not understanding how to play the game correctly. In a few months, they have
1. pretty much eliminated all the former main event TNA guys and replaced them with post WWE/WCW guys just to give the world title more face recognition
2. shit on Eric Young during the contract negotiations. He wasn't asking for a arm and a leg. He only wanted a sign of respect for faithfully working for your company for like the past 10 years.
3. destroyed the last good women division in North American, and replaced it with the same shit we see from everyone else .... blondes with big tits that know less actually wrestling moves than John Cena
4. destroyed the X division just like they destroyed the cruiser-weight division in WCW, simply because Hogan doesn't understand that style of wrestling.
5. and now they kicked Jay Lethal to the curve. Jay Lethal !!!! A guy who took the ridiculous gimmick of imitating other people and made it legendary. Have you seen Randy Savage lately? Shit is sad. He is a shell of his former self. Jay Lethal does the Macho Man character better than Savage currently does. And his Ric Flair isn't bad either.

I don't even put this shit on Hogan and Bischoff anymore. Russo is the booker and Dixie is the boss. I've met her and she's really nice but she needs to know what she doesnt' know about wrestling and stop listening to the snake oil salesmen like HH, EB, and VR. You pushed the shit out of Jay Lethal most of last year, why didn't it occur to her to ask "Why aren't we using Jay anymore?".
Then had to either had to bring them back (Daniels) or put them back in their rightful place (AJ). I never had a problem with them bringing in Hardy, Anderson, and RVD but they should never overshadow your guys (Joe, Pope, AJ, Daniels).
Yep.
Yep. On national tv anyway. There's still SHIMMER and ROH does women off and on. Even when they have good in ring talent they use them wrong. They fucked over Daffney and Winter has wrestled all of twice.
Now this is where I think it's Russo. No way Eric Bischoff, who built the cruiserweight division and even had a cruiser tag division, wouldn't put focus back on the X-Divsion. Russo, coming from the McMahon school of thinking, never had much use for small guys or foreign talent.
Yep. All he does is get over and have good matches but that's not enough. Fuck, I think Kendrick is great but they rarely use him, cut his ass and keep Jay Lethal.
As Dave noted, that's true if you're talking in terms of national TV. In addition to Shimmer & ROH, Chikara has an excellent women's division (in fact, they even fight against men in pretty good matches). A lot of companies could really learn from Chikara in terms of how to blend women with men in the same division. It expands the possibilities of great matches by moving beyond the typical "The men only fight men, women only fight women" standard way.
But back to your overall point, TNA has a knack for fuckin' up. A lot of brain dead decision making. It's very reminiscent of WCW in its final days. I wonder why.

Chikara has already released the latest King of Trios weekend on dvd so I'll be picking that up so I can see them at their best.
TNA put on a pretty decent Impact! last night with the usual dumb shit thrown in because Russo likes that kind of shit. I hate, hate, hate the whole "The Network" shit. It didn't work for ECW and it's not working now. It made more sense to just have a power struggle between Hulk and Dixie if that's what they want to do and have it settled in a Lethal Lockdown cage match.
Damn, Abyss was all man on that show. That kick looked like every other kick he throws like that so that shows that the difference between hurting someone and not is inches.
So Angle and Jarrett have a great match at your ppv and you kind of just move on instead of talking it up? WWE never makes that mistake. That's how you get people to buy your ppvs: make them feel like they missed something by not buying the last one.
I'm 90 minutes into night one of the King of Trios tournament and I'm LOVING IT so far. Progression of some storylines, but for the most part it's all about the tournament (and tributes to Larry Sweeny here and there). Generally, the best night is usually night 2 for the King of Trios tournament, but this night one is hella enjoyable. Good comedy, great action, good variation of styles, etc. I'm so glad I stayed away from the results. I'm really looking forward to Chikara coming to my city in Japan at the end of this year 
R.I.P. Larry Sweeny, he will be missed (especially in Chikara, but his work in ROH & Shimmer was very good as well).

Sounds like you're having fun watching an actual WRESTLINGevent.Night 1 done, very enjoyable. 6 more hours left for the rest of the King of Trios event

Let me know which night you prefer.Right now I'm leaning towards buying Night 3 and then going from there if I really enjoy it.
Even if night 3 ends up being the best night (traditionally, it's usually night 2 that's the best for whatever reason, imho), you really should buy all three nights since they build off each other.
Night 1 was a blast, I'm about to check out night 2 now.
Night 2 was excellent. While Night 1 was probably more fun (which will get me rewatching it again in the near future), Night 2 was a better night in terms of in-ring action. Night 2 also progressed a major storyline (over a year in the making), which makes it even more satisfying I have no idea how Night 3 will be able to match up to the pure fun of Night 1, or the workrate of Night 2, but we'll see.
This year's King of Trios is already better than last year's King of Trios tournament (which got a little bit marred by Skyda pulling himself and most the mexican talent from Chikara at the last minute).
If Night 3 can keep up to the quality of the other 2 nights, it might just be seeing the awesomeness that was King of Trios 2008 & 2009 (both of which are must owns).

The Steiners showing up in ECW gave ECW an immediate boost like "WTF?" but it was incredibly short with some good performances.
Congratulations to The Sheik for beating Colt Cabana for the NWA World title.
If you've never seen him, he's doing Ed Farhat's, The "Original"Sheik, act to the letter and it's awesome. He even had, when I saw him, a slight "Jewish-looking" guy who reminded me of The Grand Wizard and Eddie Creatchman.
Was Cena purposely tryna sound like the Rock? LOL This R-Truth as heel thing might really work out....
Truth = #1 Heel
IM WEAK!!!!
that was the funniest shit Ive seen on there in a long ass time

I guess with Rey coming to Raw it's confirmation that Sin Cara will go over to Smackdown.
nucca said "DUECES!!!"
Kofi with a win....WTF!!!!
Just means that they're gonna find a way for Cena to stay on Raw.
This Cole shit has officially gotten on my last damn nerve.
made Cole interfere with the ladies match and botched ol girl being fed up with Undertaker ol lady and kicking her ass. after the hell she been catching Cole interferes by yapping and took the steam out of what happened
who'd be beat and was it for a title?
He beat Sheamus and it wasn't for the title.
One thing that I don't like about the draft and makes no sense to me is how wrestlers celebrate when they see a top guy drafted to their brand or look sad when a top guy leaves their brand.It should be the opposite.So Cena is now off Raw here's your chance as a Raw wrestler to step up and take his slot and Smackdown guys should be thinking damn now I gotta job to this fool for the next year.
If anything throw your match and then you don't have to worry about a new guy taking your spot.
