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.

Nah, he just gets really pissed at them for not speakin' 'Murican, then logs in to Stormfront.org to complain about it

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!"

That's the talk of a dude who's on a watchlist. Maybe several.
+1 because I'm out of likes. Yeah, based on that paragraph alone, I'd say he needs to announce his intention when he wants to move into your neighborhood. HOA hearings and everything.

On a related note, the cast and crew of The 4400 are campaigning to have it brought back.
I enjoyed that show more than Firefly.
-
I may be wrong but wasn't the story that Booker was going to go over but then they signed Goldberg so they wanted HHH to stay the champ for a Goldberg feud? The dates match up as Goldberg debuted the following night, then feuded with HHH and won the belt in September.

The only place I have ever been exposed to her is MLW radio so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

LOL I must've imagined it, I guess

The other thing I remember about Requiem was that the rental copy I got from the local video store (RIP Cranbrook Video) had a Harry Knowles writeup on the packaging with this creepy passage:
She’s our Jodie Foster/TAXI DRIVER character except.... she’s our girlfriend... and she’s let down.Wait what??? I just looked that up and found it's part of this longer review that contains this full paragraph where you can practically smell Knowles' Cheeto sweat and Vaseline:
And then, Jennifer Connelly’s Marion Silver. First, how long have we collectively been in love with Jennifer Connelly? Since LABYRINTH in 1986. 14 years now. I saw HOT SPOT and CAREER OPPORTUNITIES for her. That’s screen love. And here she is again. The most beautiful woman in film... just... oh man it’s rough. She’s 364 days older than me, and I’m still willing to let that slide. After watching her in this film... I tell ya. There’s just no way you can call a hooker or a stripper or go to a club that has those. I mean, physically you’ll be able to, but when you look at the girls... you’ll think of this story... of Jennifer Connelly. I really really hope that she pulls out a supporting nom for this character. She’s our Jodie Foster/TAXI DRIVER character except.... she’s our girlfriend... and she’s let down.-

GOD DAMN LOOK AT THAT VASCULARITY PAL

I'm convinced there are no planned brackets, storyline or anything. They taped a shitload of random matches and will show them in an order that gives the illusion of making sense. After a few weeks, they'll show a scoreboard unrelated to anything that came before it and hope the viewers don't remember. Wasn't that how they did the old Bound for Glory series the year Russo booked it, where in the end nothing added up and it made zero sense?
-
Oh god. Seriously, somebody needs to tell her that nobody cares about her BDSM, open relationship or whatever other kinks she has that she made sure to mention multiple times on Cornette's show. It's not shocking and doesn't make you cool or different. Bragging about your kinks on an unrelated podcast just makes you a tryhard desperate to come across as edgy.
-
Remember when Vince got a boner over those pics of Test all roided up and demanded he be rehired? Good times.
Anyway, we're maybe two weeks away from meeting Rusev's "cousin."
-
Is it me or does Joe have his eyes set on that women's championship?
He's got the titties for it.

BOLA 2015

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.
