Didn't Tyler Reks freak out on a plane or something like that?
Yep. He claimed there was something wrong with the engine. And he knew this because he was a pilot. He demanded to be let off the plane and suggested that others should follow him. It did not endear him to anyone.

The Whammies were animated by Savage Steve Holland, who would go on to direct the John Cusack/Curtis Armstrong classic "Better Off Dead." This has nothing to do with TNA; I just really love that movie.
Though now that I think about it, it's funny to imagine pissed off cameramen chasing Dixie around the Impact Zone and shouting, "I want my two dollars!"
TNA would be worlds better if Savage Steve Holland had the book.
EC3 would make a fine Teddy Beckerstead stand in.

They should remake The Money Pit.
The biggest problem with the movies is, they're all paint by numbers copies of the others. The newest one with Ziggler had a chance, started out fun, but then fell into the same pattern as the ones that proceded it.

Anyone else find it a bit weird that Vince was talking about his kids brutally murdering each other on a supposedly PG show?

I seem to remember me and my dad laughing at Avatar because he botched a lot. Did this happen? Or did he just botch once and we laughed about it and my memory is playing tricks on me?
In his debut match I remember at least three botches, I don't think that gimmick made TV more than a couple times.

Did Sega own the rights to the name Shinobi or is that a common Japanese name/phrase that's fair use?
It is an alternate name for a ninja. The gimmick was Snow was a hired assassin for Cornette.

It's astounding to me that every time TNA looks like they're in their dying days, it becomes even more of a car crash shit show than the previous time they were near death. Bravo!

Well I'll be damned.
Ahmed was such an exciting presence when he first came on board and got that big shine at Survivor Series. Pity injuries fucked him up so badly as he'd have been champ in no time IMO
I thought so at the time too. Looking back on it though, he was probably too reckless and dangerous in ring to get to that level. Fun to watch, not to work with.

I'm of the belief Kevin Greene could have been great if he had stuck with wrestling. He just had "it".
I remember growing up, Minnesota Twins first baseman Kent Hrbek always talked about a career in pro wrestling whenever he was done with baseball, he even had a gimmick name ( " T-Rex "). Perhaps AWA shutting it's doors put the kibosh on that, I think he would've been great.

Gotta wonder how Mojo Rawley feels about Ryder getting the singles "push" (ish) and Blake and Murphy watching all their contemporaries get the call up.

Only the bitterness will remain?
Nah, the finals this year weren't nearly as contentious as, say, when Cesaro was wrongly crowned champion in an absolute miscarriage of justice.

Well I'm pleased I did quite well in the pick em (2nd place) and then had Matt D go on the run of a lifetime and beat me! You've made a very mediocre enemy today, Matt D!!

Has anyone ever run a match where all the spots are intentionally called loud enough to be heard by the audience?
i seem to remember Road Dogg and Mick Foley doing something to that effect on a house show, calling spots on mic for everyone to hear. Then they had a "miscommunication" and started going at it "for real". Not sure if this is and Internet folk tale or not, never seen footage.
Edit: sorry about huge empty space, I'm on my phone

God forbid they ever just strap a rocket to someone's back.
They did, Reigns. Unfortunately it was a bottle rocket, zipping all sorts of variations of up and down.

In my infinite wisdom as a ten year old, I DDT'd my buddy during hockey practice, because "we had helmets on, how could it possibly hurt?" He didn't get up for a while. I didn't have to be told not to do that again.

I feel like I should vote against Nak based on how inept that video was. Jesus christ.
The text over the video and the contents of the text were groan-worthy, but if I didn't know who he was, if be pretty psyched to see him debut. Nakamura in this one, and every one until he meets Bayley or Sasha.

At the Rumble, when Owens got tope'd and flew over the announce table, he took out Michael Cole and pawed his glasses off his face. It was the funniest thing I've seen in wrestling in ages. Hand him the crown.

If it was purely on in ring, I'd go Sombra. But New Day gets every other part of being a performer so right, have to go with them on this one.

This is beyond fucking dumb.
Is there a pending lawsuit where a kid died because he took this move or something? I just can't fathom how they went from building up this move as an elite finisher to never speaking of it again seemingly overnight.
I think it was around the time of the class action lawsuit from former wrestlers concerning concussions, and the perception of the top guy stomping people's heads as a finishing move wouldn't look good on their part, in the internal opinion.

Been watching a lot of 1987 JCP and I'm wondering how Sean Royal from The New Breed didn't become a star. He was a really good promo, had a great look and could work. I know that Chris Champion's injury derailed The New Breed but Royal was pretty clearly the star of the team.
In an effort to learn more about Sean Royal, I read his wiki. Apparently in 2002, (same year the New Breed traveled back from), another Sean Royal turned up. They were both active for a time, and the older was being credited for championships the younger one had won. I really hope all of that is just time travel continuinty stuff.

Barrett as a short term champ during the height of the Nexus would still be more fondly remembered than Swaggee. It would have made that period of time alot more significant and memorable, and possibly had him in a better slot now.Honestly, I know the Nexus thing was hot, but Barrett never struck me as a guy close to being World Champion material.
Good promo, solidish in-ring, but I never saw this main event potential other people apparently did.
Being made of glass obviously didn't help, either.

Vince doesn't get to pick the guy. The fans get to pick the guy. And if he keeps fighting this, it'll never work.
It seems as though once something works, it will get redone over and over thinking it will work again, ignoring the circumstances that lead to the original thing working. The evil authority figure etc.

Isn;t the old school theory/rule that if you sub a babyface into a title match they have to win. Send the fans home happy even if they didn't see what was advertised.
Bob Holly mentioned it in his book. And no, there was no given reason. When he asked why they were dropping the belts they had no real answer. I would guess the Gunns were originally scheduled to win the tourney and Billy's injury made them unable to compete, so the Gunns winning the next night just returned to the status quo.Was there a reason Bob Holly and the Kid won the tag title tournament after replacing the Smoking Gunns in 95 only to lose the titles the next night...to the Smoking Gunns?
There is some truth to this, but it's not as if Holly/Kid just stepped in to the finals of the tournament. They replaced the Gunns before the first round started, so it's a bit of a stretch in that respect.
