  1. Which direction do you think is more likely? Put your hand down, Greggulator. Edit: I'll give it chance, but I know how it will end. Given the former is Bo's gimmick, one would imagine the latter. Though Bo as a 4th member might actually work. Bo doing a Joel Osteen gimmick would be amazing. What did Rotunda do to those kids to make them both crazy preachers.
  2. Jim Ross losing his shit because all the superkicks would be the greatest wrestling clip ever. I find it funny though that GFW is paying to have Jim Ross go to Japan for this (he said he would be ringside so I assume he's going) while TNA had a ppv in Japan last month and they had to do their commentary via skype.
  3. In Vince's mind: THEY DIDN'T BUY THE NETWORK SO FUCK THEM. THATS RIGHT. Also he has a little nimrod like Kevin Dunn telling him that Michael Cole is the greatest announcer the WWE ever had...not as great as Vince himself, but right up there. Seriously though JBL had some funny moments tonight. I think one of them were him saying Rose should chop off the bunny's feet. Could you imagine how much good luck he would get with those. Poor Jack Swagger. The face locker room is so dwindled they must have drawn his name out of a hat. Also poor Zack Ryder cause I think he might have actually gotten that spot if he wasn't hurt. If there's anyone who can get beaten up and knocked off a team its him. After Stephanie strong armed Rusev and Lana, I could really see the similarities between her and Putin. Rusev is gonna have his Nikita moment when he turns face and it will be awesome. DA BIG GUY being all "yeah...whatever" when Kane and Rollins were telling him to follow their leads was great. Ryback is gonna get the tweener push Ambrose was getting. Rumble will come down to Ryback and Reigns. You can book that.
  4. I want to believe Vince got all excited when someone explained Grumpy Cat to him and then a minute later he lost interest when he found out Grumpy Cat was a female. Again another reason why we need a reality show on WWE creative. Just things being explained to Vince. There's a show right there. Also Rhino: VIOLENCE...FUCKING VIOLENCE!!!
  5. Don't show her any pre-code Betty Boop cartoons. Man, going back a page or two...that New Generation video. I hadn't seen it in a while and I couldn't stop laughing at the carriage ride bit. Ah the 80's. They were a less judgemental time.
  6. I just watched Too Many Cooks. I'm humming the theme song now.
  7. ECW on SyFy would have made a decently good 11PM Saturday Night rasslin program. You were at least going to get one good match on the show. Why they threw it on Tuesday nights so they could air it at first live and then only like a one or two hour tape delay always puzzled me. You get a lead in like the Syfy Saturday Night movies and WWECW would have done pretty well. But the whole purpose of WWECW was for Vince just to do some stuff that he never got to do with WCW. Like you just know Vince would have pinned Flair for the WCW Title back in 2001 if he could have. I'm just sad we never got Vince vs. The Sandman. But hey, Bobby "Brock Lesnar Lite" Lashley seemed to be a good idea at the time.
  8. See, if they had Don West promoting all of their shows TNA might have at least made enough money to stay open if they don't get a charity tv deal. I mean I wanna buy a bobble head Gnome because of Don West right now.
  9. THE BRAWK LAWK. Man that's a move Lesnar needs to bring back in his next match with Cena. Just try and break him in half in the literal and figurative sense. As for The Macho Man, I honestly believe had he not died Triple H could have gotten him to make peace with Vince over what ever it was. Triple H got Bruno and The Ultimate Warrior back. Savage could have absolutley happened and who knows with this authority thing happening we could have been talking about commissioner Macho after Survivor Series.
  10. For Vince, Cesaro is not nearly beefy enough. A big muscle bound man will always win Vince's admiration no matter what. We're just lucky that Ryback isn't Ted Arcidi.
  11. For those who don't know...that whole crazy eyes "I'm going to piece myself back together out of you" viginette is for Luke Harper. It's sad that Rowan will be the odd man out in The Wyatt's if the best they can come up with is a rehashing of the usual backwoods creeper trope.
  12. There's a really good Martel/Savage match from a WWF Superstars episode (that I at least remember seeing on Superstars) from 93 or early 94. This video as crappy as it is has it on Wrestlefest 94. http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x9qc8i?syndication=112544&related=0 I still love Martel's last run in WCW as many of us here do. It's a shame he got injured. He could have easily moved up from Television to United States Championship contention.
  13. The backstage thing with Nikolai Volkoff was completely awesome - it'd be like a tour of Russian wrestlers giving their thumbs-up to the new generation in Rusev. I'm just picturing Ivan Koloff, Crusher Krushev, Boris Volkolf, Nicholai, and maybe Nikita all dressed up like old Soviet generals saluting Rusev. What a glorious thing that would be.
  14. God, Vince is in desperate need of some botox or something. For a guy pushing 70 he looked like he was about 95. The bags under his eyes say here's a guy who is probably living on nothing but 20 minute power naps. They really are going to find him dead behind his desk someday. Ambrose getting the nod and thumbs up from Vince is no good. Ambrose should have just blown him off. Dean doesn't need anybody. The match with Cesaro was fun. It's a shame Cesaro isn't IC Champion and this wasn't a feud over that title. That would be some fun stuff. I'm all for rebuilding Bray Wyatt...but not at sacrificing him for Ambrose. I guess they're just gonna redo everything they did with Bryan and Bryan last year with him and Dean. I mean if it worked once... Ziggler is an idiot. He should have said screw Cena, he's out for himself and he wants to be the one to end The Authority. Triple H's shooty promo about how if Cena's team wins Cena gets the credit and if they lose...well its just the guys under Cena's fault was so unintentionally funny. Rest of the show I was flipping back and forth between it and Fast & Loud and then the WWE had to go and remind me football was on. You have to love how desperate the WWE sounds when they do stuff like "what football players are watching on Monday Nights" I really hope the Brie/Nikki thing ends with Brie giving her the beating that Alex Reily gave The Miz. Skipping along to the only part I cared about. RUSEV CRUSH. I'm so conflicted. I shouldn't root for a Russian...but Lana and Rusev are so awesome with their 1980's Nikita tribute act. I wonder if Nikita would do a show for them and just give Rusev a nod of approval. Surely the WWE has cleaned it self up enough for him to associate himself with them.
  15. Looking at these old Survivor Series team pics a fun game to play would be "who's the least drugged up in the photo". Also looking back at that weird team with The Iron Shiek in 91. God bless Vince for being like "look I know the Iraq wars over and he's from Iran, but damn it I'm gonna get some mileage out of this one".
  16. Well back in the olden days, the TV Title was still portrayed as being on par with the World Title since it was a World Championship in it's own right. Of course that more to do with Dusty's ego of "well if I'm not gonna be world's champion, I'll just make my own damn belt" and it was a pretty swank one. Personally I think Rusev as United States Champion has so much potential. It could honestly be like Nikita. It's just a shame Putin hasn't fully reformed the Soviet Union. You want mega heat, Rusev tearing off the United States championship plate and putting one with a Hammer & Sickle in it's place especially in a real patriotic town would get some real hate.
  17. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the opening of the show yet. They put that video fo Vince begging people to sign up for the network and used the yes chants that The Big Show did according to the spoilers to be part of it. They even superimposed the video of Vince on the titantron and used all the fake crowd cheer they could for it. Honestly it just really annoyed me to this. The Diva's battle royal is all I watched because I was burned out from being up practically all night and day. AJ's bitterness towards the division was very amusing though. Paige Rae was all kinds of hilarious.
  18. So we're gonna get an Emo Sarah Connor because there was a Terminator all ready with her. Yeah, I think I'll just pass.
  19. The problem with the WWE is they think they are on par with the NFL and MLB. They think "well, we're the WWE...everyone loves us". Problem is outside the core audience everyone does not love them. Plus it didn't help that they have no clue how to utilize their own friggin libary of content or how to program a network.
  20. Barry Windham on a team with Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and The One Man Gang seems like the most random pairing ever. Also I thought the Oz gimmick didn't last that long. Superbrawl to Halloween Havoc would have been a good seven or eight months. In that book he wrote "Have More Money Now", he talked about wrestling in Mexico and keeping his pay for the night in his boot and sock cause if he didn't it wouldn't be there when he got back. I'm guessing if that's what he's holding. Either that or it was him about to do his Homey The Clown impersonation on some poor guy in the shower.
  21. They do. If you break down the sallary thats probably the guys on the very low end of the spectrum. The ones not on tv or doing house shows are the ones really in a bad spot. Bray Wyatt might be way over but he sure as hell isn't getting upper midcard type money.
  22. DA BIG GUY needs to get the push they want to give to Roman Reigns when he comes back. Damn, that promo should have been on television with him on the stage being interviewed by Renee. Why does the WWE hide the good stuff on youtube where almost no one sees it.
