  1. Tim Storm and Josie Fuss aren't exactly giants. Marquez owns CWFH too. Probably get a better atmosphere changing it there though. People were chanting and giving a standing ovation to that first mediocre-ass match. I finally got around to listening to a couple of Lagana's podcast interviews and the NWA's plans sound like... Not since Jeff Jarrett first launched GFW have I heard someone ramble on excitedly about delivery methods for a non-existent wrestling show. Also, hilarious that Austin Idol is involved now cause he complained a lot about wrestlers trying to "brother" him. If Corgan thought Dixie Carter worked him.
  2. Mattel's very generous with Kevin Owens' physique. A passing health inspection score.
  3. ROH's belts look upside down. Especially those six-man monstrosities.
  4. Moose is probably the only guy IMPACT's got locked down at this point. Speaking of Lockdown, they didn't do one this year. Two Victory Roads though since they tacked the name onto the Knockouts Knockdown ONO show for no discernible reason. It's weird they didn't even do a Lethal Lockdown match in a year when WWE brings back War Games, sort of. And TNA did two last year. Both with Maria Kanellis-Bennett as an official participant though. GFW Amped Anthology concludes tomorrow. They also started selling DVDs of the first part on ShoPimpAct.com.
  5. It didn't put them into any position they wouldn't be in otherwise. There's really no scenario that plays out where people aren't constantly dunking on them. If they let the Hardys take the gimmick with them then people clown them for letting the Hardys use them to get back to WWE with everything and the company getting nothing. They sell the gimmick and people would shit on them for "extorting" the Hardys by making them pay for their gimmick. If the Hardys decided they didn't want to be "Broken" anymore then people would blame them for the Hardys not being Broken anymore. Even if the Hardys stay then people would complain about the gimmick being stale. This company will never be able to do anything that won't get an LOLTNA out of people.
  6. http://wcwmondaynitropodcast.libsyn.com/ Kind of similar in tone to JJ Dillon's podcast but from the production side.
  7. I want to see the crowd reaction. I don't necessarily want to see the match.
  8. He's 15-2 and his last fight was in 2016 with his last loss coming 5 years ago and most of his wins have come in the first or second round. He's also been pretty public about only being interested in taking fights with a big payday attached. Lashley's really been one of the few real highlights of this nothing happening company the past like 3 years or so. I'd say this has probably been his worst year due to the lousy booking though. I don't get this about face on the IP. You don't need a trademark to retain IP. The owl men either don't understand the difference between trademark, copyright, and IP or they're just sick of dealing with the Broken Matt shrapnel. Like if Disney forgets to renew the trademarks on Chewbacca, the character wouldn't become public domain. It'd still be protected by the film's copyright and be the intellectual property of Disney so the actor who played him couldn't simply claim ownership and take it to Paramount to be in a Star Trek movie as Chewbacca. It's more like a tobacco company could market a Bigfoot-like creature on a package and sell a product called Chew-bacco. Also, they've basically surrendered what little negotiating leverage they'd have with someone like an EC3 who before this would have to consider that he couldn't be the "EC3" character unless contracted to IMPACT but now he can take this Dixie Carter spin-off character to WWE. Really, I just think it's bullshit that the fucking Big Boss Man couldn't be The Boss, man is he big! but after a year of petulant behavior from him, his wife, and his dipshit fanbase that Broken Matt gets to be Woken Matt.
  9. He's salty bout not getting any WWE support for his cruise gimmick. Cruise doesn't happen until October 2018.
  10. Golden Corral gift certificate payoff though. Maybe. I hope indie guys in every state start declaring themselves their state's Doink. Then once a year they all wrestle at the Great American Doink Bash.
  11. Best thing about Jericho to NJPW is he won't be taking up space in the Royal Rumble "directing traffic" for an hour. Or refusing to go home and costing other matches time at WrestleMania.
  12. Then it'd be the heel defending against 3 babyfaces though. Then again the X-Division match is the heel defending against 5 babyfaces. At least the Tag Title Match is the 2 babyfaces defending against all of Latin America. And not that title contenders really make any sense anymore but I'm not sure Rosemary's done anything but lose since befriending Allie. It's too late now but they should've pre-taped some wacky shit with Rosemary and Taya Valkyrie at Rosemary's barn or somewhere so Taya could be left laying in a heap in the woods to explain why she won't be around for the rest of the year. Hope Grado's next storyline is trying to defraud Canadian immigration.
  13. I think it's a face mask. Like they wear in Japan when there's contagious people around. For when he has to go to Raw.
  14. Reigns is going to come back and wonder why his gear is all stretched out. They already advertised tag title matches so why even do the Triple H thing that doesn't make any logic? Wyatt and The Bar haven't ever been allied in any way either. Really they could've just done Triple H/Wyatt and changed the tag titles. Then at Survivor Series you'd get Usos vs. Bar and the full Shield in the elimination match.
  15. I wonder what Triple H thought he was buying when NXT ended up with all these shark cages.
  16. You haven't heard about the heartless and pantsless evil that has spread from sea to shining sea that is Taryn Terrell? No need to check the Richter scale. That's no Canadian Eartquake that has the Mounties shook. It's the idea of infamous American criminal Taryn Terrell crossing into the Great White North! But yeah, she got arrested for the McIntyre thing. Removing her from the BFG match really screws up the dynamic with a defending heel champion fending off two face challengers.
  17. Ryder's not tagging them with pro-IMPACT commentary or anything. It's just some dude and his girlfriend. Jacobs went outside the venue he was supposed to be working in, took a selfie with The Bullet Club, and then posted it with something like #BCInvasion. People getting released on a Sunday is really weird. They must've tracked the Raw plague back to those three.
  18. You bunch of magpies didn't even notice that the IMPACT Pizza got revealed as two pizzas with too much spice. And a drink. Available at that place for the week of BFG and the TV tapings which will also host the official post-Impact after-party throughout the week. BFG is sold out. I guess they're working with Hannibal cause he's got a 50% off coupon for the TV tapings. 'GNWIMPACT' through TDPlace.ca. Speculation is Taryn Terrell's past felonious thuggery is keeping her out of Canada. Or Anthem's current frugality not paying to figure out how to get her into Canada. The IMPACT belt cover-up jobs are so indie-looking. Hey, remember when Garza, Jr. and Laredo Kid were a tag team? Then Laredo Kid just disappeared. Then Garza somehow got into the World Title picture. Or when Sydal was in the World Title picture? Or when Dezmond Xavier won the Super X-Cup and then disappeared? Yeah, well Garza, Sydal, and Xavier are all in the X-Division Championship match at BFG which also includes Petey Williams and Sonjay Dutt who keep getting title matches for some reason.
  19. Universal Champ Brock Lesnar vs. World Champ AJ Styles would be pretty dope. In lieu of that I'll also accept Lesnar vs. Mahal vs. NXT Champ Drew McIntyre. Two giant men attempting to murder the Singhs is better than one. Even better get the Universal Title on Heath Slater. The Shield reunites. 3MB explodes! Screw this brand loyalty crap. Save that crap for Bragging Rights and the coveted Bragging Rights trophy. Tis the season for family and friends getting together to form teams of 5 striving to survive against their respective rivals in elimination matches while screaming "SURVIVE!" over and over again like coked-up maniacs.
  20. WWE: We're reuniting The Shield! ME: Okay. They're gonna wrestle everyone! Great. At the same time! Whut da hale? And we're bringing back War Games! Cool. For The Shield? For NXT! Oh...kay. With two rings! That's good.
  21. There's really no good reason for Drew McIntyre to be in NXT instead of one of the primary brands. He shouldn't be The Shield's fourth though. Just wrap a tac vest around Son Of Mitch's pot. Ideally, get Bork to show up for Survivor Series and move The Usos over to Raw. Lesnar/Joe/Strowman/Bar vs. Shield/Usos. I think they may have done too much on Raw since we're already talking about Survivor Series. Going to be hard to top putting Strowman through a desk and making Booker fall off the stage.
  22. If only ol' Aaron Neville had used Go To Meeting. Like when ol' Cold Stone walked out of the Omni cause he wasn't gonna do no GOD DAMN JOB to Brock Lesnar. Instead of taking his ball and going home he could've used Go To Meeting's video conferencing technology and looked Vince McMahon right in his beady little eyes and explained in a very calm professional manner why he wasn't gonna do no GOD DAMN JOB to Brock Lesnar. Neville could've used Go To Meeting to look Vince right in his damn beady little eyes and told it like it is that he knows sometimes everybody plays the fool but betcha by golly wow, I don't know much but I know I ain't doing NO GOD DAMN JOB to Enzo Amore". Go To Meeting. It's how business gets done. Awww hell yeah!
  23. Subtract Miz. Add Joe. Then add Wyatt to the Shield side. History with The Shield and Strowman. Had that tag match with Reigns where he teased a turn and it didn't go anywhere for whatever reason. Having him stand up to Strowman might be the only way to revive him after this Sister Abigail thing. You'd never know it from watching him the past couple of years but Wyatt's a good fiery brawler so I think a Wyatt/Strowman feud would be pretty good if they can avoid miring it in stupid swamp magic bullshit like this Balor feud.
  24. Legends Of Lucha Libre MUSCLEs http://news.toyark.com/2017/10/05/nycc-2017-super-7-masters-universe-reaction-muscle-274055 Lineup is Bloody Moan, Jr., Tinieblas, Jr., Konnan, The Juice, Super Astro, and Solar.
