RAW is live and this benefits Mark Henry. Now he can stop the attack since Big E Langston traveled back in time and warned him about it.

I guess Cena forgot his DVDVR password.

An asshole?

Mark Henry has been diagnosed with a moderately split wig. Further diagnosis coming.

I actually think Yoshi Tatsu, WWE: TNA champ could be great. He'd be so earnest about it.

Also, why has no one mentioned Bad News Barrett rising up with a gavel? Then proceeding to inject WAY too much truth in his rant?

I can't wait for Total Divas season 2 when Brie is forced to go live with Bryan in a dilapidated cabin in the swap-filled woods while Nikki smirks about how amazing life in Cena's vast mansion is.

Aksana randomly winning was great because it allowed her softcore porn Cinemax theme to finally be played on RAW.

A porno star who is popular in the gay community.

Given how the Skins played this year, he has plenty of experience in doing nothing for $7 million a year

I know it's been said a few times, but the Xavier Woods/Brodus Clay thing is all backwards, Woods just looks like a dick, and Clay like some ineffective man-child.

If anyone here let WCW "just die", there would be next to no wrestling discussion on DVDVR. THEN WE COULDN'T TALK ABOUT BARRY WINDHAM!

I really liked Corino's run in the main event run in 2000. On the ECW/NWO revivalists, a few years ago a bunch of regional theatres surveyed all their subscribers to see what sort of plays they wanted to see in the coming seasons. Almost all of the subscribers submitted a list of plays that they had recently seen or had fond memories of, but the theatres that embraced those results had poorer attendance because the subscriber bases all felt as though they had no reason to see the same things over again. I feel like the same thing is true for wrestling audiences right now. If polled, the majority of people would say they want things booked like they were when we first started watching, but if that actually happened, most long time fans would end up feeling alienated and the program would inevitably look worse because the viewer would constantly be comparing to an angle that has become untouchable in their eyes. Gosh, I hope that makes sense and doesn't come across as completely nonsensical.

Jarrett leaving TNA to start his own promotion would be excellent. Akin to Michael Scott threatening to leave the Michael Scott Paper Company to start his own paper company.

ECW was actually really underrated in 2000. The in ring work tended to be good with guys like Corino and CW Anderson coming to the forefront, along with Tajiri, Kid Kash and the FBI. The booking got pretty bad* by the time the TNN show was ending. With main events ending in disqualifications and other non finishes. *Compared to modern booking by WWE and TNA, it is about average.

Obesity and chin beards are pro wrestling FANS

Don't worry, the bi-weekly roster emasculating wank fest that'll probably start off RAW tonight will kill that off.

Seriously. If HHH put out a comedy DVD I might buy in. King of Kings of Comedy.

I knew I should have just gone to the last post instead of reading the whole thread first

I had a friend that used to call them "Super Moves." I used to correct him every time. I would say, "This isn't Street Fighter man." “@KingJames: Who do i need to talk to to get one of those World Championship Belt? WWE belt. The real ones”.

RE: Heyman. Only interesting part of Lita's book is when she talks about, when ECW was going down the tubes and checks were bouncing and whatnot, Heyman was giving yet another motivational speech to everyone in a meeting and how she instantly recognized how full of shit he was and that he'd pretty much built his company on lying to everyone . He's a great talker and talent obviously, but he strikes me as absolutely one of the last people you'd want in your life on a personal/professional level. I don't think he's that much different from Bischoff, whom he despises. Can talk a good game, but not much else.

...BUT THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE... JL Sigman may be the only person on here I know of who's played enough Squaresoft Games And Like Football enough to find that funny, so I hope she sees this.

Romo usually drags it out with more flare and drama, ever the showman. But Kyle Orton, classic game manager, gets right to it with artless efficiency.

I think Web Conn needs to add some random punctuation to his user name just to troll people a little harder.

I ran out of breath reading that IN MY HEAD.

I just got a bunch of dvd's from Goodhelmet and I'll be goddamned if Barry Windham isn't one of the top 5 in-ring guys I've ever seen in my life. Amazing.

Toby Keith was no secret. They lost Direct Auto and Jarrett's been trying to get new investors on board for the past couple of years. Lot of you guys are unneccessarily harsh on Jarrett and blaming him for things that weren't even his fault. Guy mortgaged his home to get TNA off the ground and helped get a lot new guys their first national exposure. That's admirable. His booking was the shits though. You know whose booking isn't the shits? Mine! You people should make yourselves useful and Tweet Dixie Carter, Viacom, Bischoff, Hervey, your mom, etc. and let them know that Ben's the guy TNA needs. Be all, "S'up Dix. You know who your guy is? Ben's your guy! Give Ben money and he'll write good for TNA!" I'm not just joking around. I really want the job. I got the roadmap to BFG '14 marinating in my brain cells already. I got an angle for Kurt Angle that's so good it'll put hair on his head again. I've even got fucking Knockouts ideas. That's 'fucking' as an adjective not a verb but I'm up for whatever they need cause I'm a team player.

I may or may not be masturbating furiously as we speak.

I actually loved the end segment after the initial "Wait, why would you turn your most over babyface?" reaction. Plus, it makes sense, use the crowd's incessant chanting for Bryan for a purpose, trying to break the "spell" he's under, as he murders guys in a tag-team with Luke Harper. I hope he starts wearing dirty jeans and a lumberjack shirt now. I love that after years of repeatedly losing, rarely winning his big matches, and just days after cleanly jobbing to Reigns, Mark Henry's music still draws a "Whoa" reaction and huge cheers whenever it plays. I kinda wish he'd just came out and crushed Lesnar before Lesnar "injured" him.

Yes, a female fighter with 10 knockouts on her record - including Gina and Marloes - is "not a very good fighter." WTF?

In general but you should

God damn I can't wait for that movie.

Twice probably because he's had to hang up on them

http://youtu.be/sWUMv9m76eY As a big Air Coryell fan as a kid, this was one of the most upsetting losses I ever suffered. Still think they got hosed by playing in the Miami sauna the week before and then frigid Cincy.

Yeah, it'll be archived after it airs. Not sure *how soon* it will be archived for a rewatch, but it will be.

it's the second time in the last few weeks where they taped out of chronological order (12/23 Raw was taped on 12/17, 12/20 Smackdown was taped on 12/18). So they've done two variations of taping out of order due to Christmas/New Years being on a Wednesday. As for "Mark Henry can avoid the attack due to the warning from Big E".... that just made me think of someone doing an astrology gimmick. I think that might be a bit too over the heads of the 11 year olds to have a fortune teller wrestling Let's not.

The heart wants what it wants.

I've talked so much shit and the Lions are picking right after the Bills. I've made a huge mistake.

Considering the resources they had it was very successful. If they had even a portion of the resources TNA had, there would be an ECW Space Station.

Michaels is one of the greatest entertainers in wrestling history. People who don't love HBK epics are dead to me.

Speaking of the Midnights, HOLY SHIT. Never saw this angle. Oh, and thanks for the suggestions. I've seen the Dynamic Dudes turn (on my fancy Clash VHS tape I got around 1992) and will definitely check out the other stuff.
