That is my feeling about TNA in a nutshell. The roster is loaded with talent, it the show is entertaining almost in spite of itself. If someone was in charge that knew what they were doing, it would be amazing. The best workers should always be heels, because they lead the match. It is hard for a babyface to lead a match while taking the heat.

Wouldn't one of Devitt & Anderson be liekly to finish pretty strong in this thing? Devitt's turn and push in the Heavyweight division was for more than headlining one PPV. I don't think he is winning, but I can see him being a final four, or perhaps just miss the semi's due to a tie or something. As for Anderson... he was the runner-up last year, and if he is gonna be Devitt's "Enforcer", then he would be kinda logical to lose in the final again, and then set-up Devitt for a match with the G1 winner as head of Bullet. Just throwing it out there.

Two different things here. First, most wrestlers that are passionate about the business watch a shit ton of wrestling. They just might taper off watching current television wrestling. Most good wrestlers will go out of their way to watch as much of the shows that they are on as possible. Especially on the indys, a lot of guys almost watch too much of their own footage, because they start picking up on things they do that maybe no one else notices. It is a fine line. Maybe a lot of guys in the WWE watch less, but that is understandable because of the travel and what not. But a lot of guys do watch from the curtain, or monitors in the back. The second part is kinda associated with the following quote: This is where the "I don't go to shows I'm not booked for" attitude comes from. It is okay to be a fan of wrestling, and to love the buisness, but at a point you have to stop acting like a ticket-buying fan, and acting like a professional. If you wanna watch Raw, no one is gonna give you any grief. However, if you watch it and wanna talk about how awesome something was or whatever, then you are gonna get ribbed for being a mark. Furthermore, at one point when I was running a training school, I had training on Mondays & Wednesday nights. The backlash I got from guys wanting to be pro wrestlers but having to miss Raw was ridiculous. In turn, I have known guys that have turned down bookings because they had tickets to WWE shows. Even worse, I know a lot of guys who bitch about being light on bookings, but then go and pay to attend other local shows in their area. To me, that is crazy and unprofessional. I know to a civilian it might seem odd, but wrestling is an odd business, and thoughout its history, it is built on secrecy and tradition. It is easy to say "Kayfabe is dead, those old ways are stupid and from a bygone era".... but look at how the business is now. You get out what you put in. Yup, usually. If you promote, hire solid talent, and use logic, things should work out.

I changed from NWANikita, because back in the old days when I got that handle on here, it was my AIM handle. And I was wrestling in multiple NWA promotions. On both versions of the board, I have listed who I really am in my sig... this screename is my twitter handle.

This is 100% the desired reaction of the WWE system & style, and that it what they strive for and send guys to development for. The WWE doesn't want wrestlers to work a crowd and draw a reaction, they want the crowd to react to what has been written, and the "superstars" just play the role they are given. This is why they have developmental, and why they have production scripts and so forth. They want guys to work the camera, and for Cole & Lawler to tell you how to react. Part of this is the eradication of managers. Part of it is also that anything that gets an "unauthorized reaction" gets either buried, or repackaged in an effort to control it for the purposes of containing reactions. Examples include Zack Ryder, Fandango. I back this 1000% I quit watching WWE a decade ago. I might check things out of I hear they are worth seeing, but nothing WWE puts out is "Must See TV". So many fans seem to have this attitude that the WWE belongs to the people, and that they have some kind of rights in the whole matter. I call it "bitch & watchsyndrome", where they watch Raw every week and bitch incessantly about how awful it is, and then turn right around and watch it the next week, buy tickets when it comes to town, and make vacation plans to attend WM. The WWE doesn't give two shits about you if you support the product blindly, because that money is as good as gold already. This is why they go after the fringe fan, and book Rock at Mania, or bring back Lesnar, or have Snooki & Maria Menuonos win matches on PPV. They want the money that they do not already get. Your voice as a fan is with the wallet, and if you support a shit product, you get a shit product.

Are we excluding any *real* songs, and only counting custom made stuff/songs actually performed by wrestlers? Badstreet USA - Michael PS Hayes Psycho - Konnan & the Mad One Girls In Cars - Robbie Dupree Sabu's Theme - Harry Slash & Slashtones My Baby Tonight - Roaddogg/Jeff Jarrett

I lurk at r/BigBrother a bit, and the consensus seems to be that Judd is the "cutest" looking guy in the house, so he is going to poll well with the ladies. Howard is pretty much over with everyone, and I would be shocked if he or Helen don't get the MVP this week. If Elissa gets it again, its a work. This year is a weird dichotomy in the house. In general, all of the girls are very attractive, and most of the guys are below average in looks. However, all of the girls appear to be DTF, and the guys are all taking advantage of it, for the most part.

For those unaware, AMC has been running marathons of Breaking Bad late Friday nights, starting from the begining. They are mid-season two now, but if you are thinking of jumping in and don't have Netflix, it is at a point you can still catch up relatively easily. Five episodes airing late tonight. Agreed. I loved how weird & out of touch that chick was. When she was telling that dude his wife died and her only "bedside manner" was offering him water (in his house) was the best.

This x 1000. How are the fans at fault for recognizing a guy they had seen before? It is laziness in the continuity dept. from the WWE. Granted, the smarks could suspend disbelief and enjoy the show too. Wrestling fans are always shitting on the product, and in return they get shit back. WWBWD? - What Would Bill Watts Do? This is why you don't buy a ticket and attend shows - it is unprofessional.

If I were not retired, I would somehow get this embroidered on my ring robe.

Hey everyone! Big ups to Dean & Rippa getting the ol' girl back on her feet. Changed my username from NWANikita to SovietShooter, since that's the Twitter handle and whatnot.
