Performance Center is unlockable after you complete the "eat a jelly donut out of a trainee's ass" minigame.

Main event was an ungodly clusterfuck and of course, Seth lost to Kane even with a billion people helping him.
*wrinkles brow in confusion*
Seth is a chickenshit heel champ, he's supposed to lose non-title matches
Chickenshit heel losing tons of non-title matches can be okay for an IC-Level guy - not the World champ. Jesus, even Honky Tonk did fewer pinfall jobs and he was the IC Champ.
I don't even recall Honky ever getting pinned on tv as IC champ. Lots of jobs by DQ/countout but I don't remember him eating any pinfalls on tv.
I don't even recall seeing a singles champion work a non title match back in the 80s unless it was a champ going over in a jobber squash and it was only a billed as a non-title match because no way was Rusty Brooks a contender and giving him a shot devalued the belt. Rest assured if the champion did work a non title match and lost, or dropped the fall in a tag, it was because they were setting up a serious championship program.

What about Brown Pants and Pageboy Haircut Shawn Michaels? Is that a pre-order bonus?

It isn't saying "press button for sweet chin music".
It's a check box.
It's telling you to preform Sweet Chin Music to achieve the match objective and unlock stuff.
GAH
Thanks man

I'm not sure anyone is saying "just run NXT and call it Raw." But if you did a show closer to NXT and just threw a few bones to the network, it'd be a hell of a lot better than the crap we're served every Monday.
-
Not a glitch, that's just how Shawn sells. See the Hogan match for verification.
I'm curious about the "press (button) for Sweet Chin Music" prompt. If you'd hit that button, would it have suddenly jumped to a cut scene where HHH is magically of the table and getting hit with the finish? Because, if so, that's pretty awful.

Wrestling Observer Radio was just hilarious with Dave talking about how impressed he was with "Impact's new set".
Dave is just old timey that way. He also refers to cable networks as "stations," which is both quaint and maddening in equal parts. Still not as bad as Alvarez asking the same mailbag questions on shows a week apart. I knew the answer verbatim. Is it concussions or just laziness? Yes, Bryan hosts like 10 shows a week, but the lack of effort he puts into prepping for any of them is embarrassing.

Sable didn't care about the business though. She just was using the business to get into Playboy. Again. Apples and oranges. And it's not like Shawn and Bret exactly got away with their behavior either. Bret essentially got kicked out and Shawn was told to go home on several different occasions.
That's the after the fact logic that I'm sure there's a fancy Latin term for. Sable was a wrestling performer, got into Playboy, then we all said "shit, she just did wrestling to get into Playboy!" Meanwhile, as far as her contemporaries go, Bret's taking time off to shoot Lonesome Dove and the Rock transitioned into a movie career and nobody claimed they only got into wrestling as a stepping stone.
-
Amazing double standard that I completely forgot about. Sable became too much of a headache on a roster that included some of the biggest male divas in history.
Hire men and they get egos and become difficult? Well god damn, they're just strong-willed go-getters who fight for what they want!
Hire women and they get egos and become difficult? Fuck, who brought those bitches in? We need to stop hiring/pushing women so hard because they get big heads!

I don't understand the "they have to answer to the networks" argument. As long as they're not doing Attitude Era style bullshit, I don't think the networks care about the content, booking, etc. The impression I got from HHH's quote is more along the lines of Vince's GOD DAMN IT WE'RE MAKING MOVIES PAL logic, how the main roster needs to be booked "for a broader audience."
("Broader audience" in this case is defined as "people who don't give a shit about wrestling but we'll desperately pursue them anyway.")
-
Digging the show shows so far. I'm a few matches into night 1. I enjoyed Melissa Santos doing the LU style intros, including "They Call Him......Cage" and I'm amazed she can get in and out of the ring in that outfit. Cage/Aerostar had a few blown spots but was still good, same for Busick/Everertt, Ospreay/Andrews was fucking NICE. Commentary, as always, is awesome. Aerostar did a flip dive and Excalibur yelled, "that's how Chuck Taylor lost his leg to gangrene!" Not as good as "El Generico is a big boy!!" but close. Great great show so far. Left off with ICMG vs Guerros del Cielo.

Christ, when I asked if they'd done this once before, I should have known the answer was "no, TWICE."

Meltzer mentioned that HHH said -- either in a stockholder meeting or press conference, I can't recall -- that he "understands that what works in NXT wouldn't necessarily work on the main roster." If he truly believes that and isn't just saying it to stay in Vince's good graces, that really sucks and so much for the "I cant wait for Vince to retire and HHH steps up" talk. We'll just continue to get NXT as the wrestling show booked to please wrestling fans and Raw as the goofy variety show booked to please nobody.

Happened with the tag titles this year: Eddie Edwards was injured so the Wolves vacated. Then they had a tournament the was won by the Hardys, only Jeff broke his leg motorcycling, so they had a five match series between the Wolves and the Dirty Heels for the belts.
I think it did happen with the World's as well though.
Ah. Yep, that was it.
Eddie: Guys, I'm hurt
TNA bookers: cool, let's vacate the belts and have a tournament. Tournaments are awesome. We loved mania 4!
Eddie: Well guys the good news is we have enough TV taped that I'll be back in the ring by the next set of tapings so we're good.
TNA bookers: fuck it, vacate anyway!
What an amazing company.

Where are the pictures of the Divas wearing their hijabs?
That is a very particular fetish you have there.

Meltzer made a great point about the stupidity of this Team Challenge Series. Matt Hardy decided to give up the title because he thought the months and months of the company without a world title would be terrible for TNA. So they decide to create a tournament that unless they chop the hell out of the pre-taped matches are going to run for about 2 or 3 months
Didn't this happen to them once before? I could've sworn the world title was held up because the champion was injured and the ensuing tournament ran so long that the injured former champion was back before the tourney was over.
-
Just not a canned ham. They already gave away the only one they had.

Oh, gotcha. So really "lend Ric Flair money" goes into the Hulk Hogan List of Bad Ideas somewhere between "agree to fuck best friend's wife" and "Santa with Muscles."

Well you're sort of not wrong. Things were going that way -- he had the MitB briefcase -- until he had that injury that screwed up booking, then it turned out he wasn't hurt nearly as bad as he thought he was but, by then, he was written out of the title picture completely. What a goof. Don't forget he was going to be revealed as Vince's son, too. Man, has any wrestler had so much planned for him, only for every last bit of it to fall through?
Edit: I had to look it up to refresh my memory. He won MitB at Mania 23 and announced he'd be cashing in at Mania 24. They had a year's worth of booking ready to go where he'd be a major focus of the company. But a week later he thought he'd had a very bad triceps/tendon tear that turned out to just be a hematoma and it all got flushed away.

I just started watching this and it's great so far. WTF is up with Dana's hair? The off-grey color seriously makes it look like a dirty mop.

I gathered that Hulk helped out when Reid was having drug issues because Flair didn't want to go through WWE.
Wow, really? This falls somewhere between "never paying taxes ever" and "selling the NWA belt to 3 different parties at the same time" on the Ric Flair List of Bad Ideas.
Send Reid to a real rehab facility? Nah, I'll get help from a guy who bought "The Secret" hook, line and sinker. Then again, Hogan probably lied about his past rehab experience. "I helped Jim Morrison and Chris Farley get off the junk, brother!"

I hear Alpha Brain's side effects include "not knowing whether to shit or wind your watch." Can you confirm?
