    It's being reported that Big Zeke and SNITSKY~! are backstage at the Impact tapings.

    Snitsky would be a good for fit the Menagerie.

    Big Zeke would probably get added to MVP's stable because, well...he's black.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I just typed three massively long paragraphs about how infuriating everything about TNA is, how they're hemmoraging money but will probably toss a bunch of cash at Ezekiel Jackson to be in MVP's little faction because he's another black guy who was IC champ once five years ago for 20 minutes, how stupid Jeff Hardy's Willow angle is, every piece of awesome talent and all the missed opportunities that have fallen through their hands over the years, etc. but really, it was a total waste of time. What I should've wrote is simply: fuck this company.

    They really should unify the IC and US titles though. Both titles get ignored where as 1 title might have some hope of elevating talent.

     

    Some days, I feel this way, but some I don't. It wouldn't be an issue if everyone had something to do, and the US title was used as a Euro/Hardcore/WCW TV lower-tier stepping stone. But no one in the lower card has shit to do anyway, and none of this matters

    Does anyone remember Frankie Kazarian's brief WWE run? He got promo time and consistent matches on Velocity then disappeared, what happened?

     

    Yes! I went to a Velocity/SD! taping where he had a pretty good match with Danny Doring. I thought he looked great in the ring, and also liked that his name was in the style of the Metallica logo on his trunks.

     

    Also at this taping: I almost got in trouble two matches in during CM Punk's dark match for being underage drunk and yelling about how they shouldn't turn him into a deaf guy (I was 16 or 17, and am highly, highly ashamed of my behavior). Plus, as a bonus: Eddie Guerrero's Bedtime Stories.

    I thought I took a journalism class in college, but it was really just a fat chick from the hardcore scene disguised as an ad-hoc professor teaching us how to photoshop shit. I dropped out shortly thereafter

     

    edit: she was married and had no interest in me, before anyone says it

    There's a casino near me which has a "mall" inside where that fucking terminator is in some record store window for like 4 large. WWE runs their arena quite a bit, and I haven't been in a while, so the idea that Roman bought that is real, real awesome to me.

    Didn't Brodus have a Homicide-esque type gimmick when he was in developmental? Maybe they'll end up shaking hands after and forming a tag team. Brodus is limited as a worker, but for some weird, odd, inexplicable reason, I think the guy could do well if used correctly. Murdering dudes on the outside in an early-Diesel type role could be just what the doctor ordered for that guy.

    Also possibly eating grapes and smoking meth. Is anyone going to the NY shows?

     

    I thought about it (if only because I've been watching early RAWs on the network, and I kinda wanna see live wrestling in the Manhattan Center) but ultimately, it's gonna be a pain in the ass to get to NYC straight from work on a weekday, and I'm pretty sour on TNA at this time. I honestly don't feel like I'll be missing much (which bums me out, actually-- I'm not trying to be negative for the sake of being negative).

    I may have touched on this in the omnibus thread, but I was home on a Thursday and caught Impact a few weeks ago. What the hell is the point of this Willow thing? Especially when Voodoo Chili and The Taz are going on about how it's "Jeff Hardy's alter-ego." Initially I thought it was supposed to be like a Midnight Rider/Mr. America type thing, but apparently that's not the case. Now, I haven't been a big Jeff Hardy guy in years, but the guy DOES have his fans-- why would you put one of the biggest name guys you have left (relatively speaking) under a hood? And STILL acknowledge it's the same guy? Just makes absolutely no sense to me.

     

     

    Regarding the ring situation, I think reading the last few tweets from Austin Aries speaks volumes (read from bottom up):

     

     

     

    Please don't misinterpret #6sides as unsafe or dangerous. Decision makers at @IMPACTWRESTLING would never put us in that position. #4sides

    Guess I accomplished stirring up some debate on #4sides or #6sides. We all have opinions, and I shared mine from a different perspective.

    For those curious, I find #6sides to be far less forgiving on the body and harder to maneuver around, especially on the top rope. #4sides

    ...this is the appropriate place for it, nor do I feel the potential risk outweighs the potential benefit for the wrestlers.

    Please understand, I DO think the fans voices should be heard, and I'm all for an interactive experience, BUT I'm not sure...

    What's wrong with wrestling? Letting people who've never done it, and never put their bodies on the line, run the show. #DoesntWork #4sides

    So the people who don't wrestle are letting people who don't wrestle decide what I have to wrestle in? Great idea. My body, my vote. #4sides

    I see GFW being wrestling's version of Bob Sacamano. That weird guy that lives across the hall keeps rambling on and on about it, but I'm never going to see it with my own two eyes.

     

    "You know my friend Jeff Jarrett?"

     

    "I thought he was Dixie's friend."

     

    "Well, he called at about 3 this morning, we got to talking. He sells DVDs over at the gimmick table-- 40 bucks."

     

    "40 bucks? Is this TNA?"

     

    "No, but the difference is negligible."

     

     

    They are doing a slow build. The entire first year of TV is Double J walking from Memphis to Mexico. They are going to tape all the walking in 8 days and spread it out over the year.

    Damn, I forgot all about Rick Fuller. He was one of my favorite 6:05 on tha muthaship guys. I would always play as him in that crappy Thunder video game.

     

    Checked his Wiki, too:

     

    In 2008 Fuller competed for New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he formed a tag team with Giant Bernard.

     

    I'm sure that's old hat to most people here, but I'm not a huge Japan guy (I only started going through FMW like 3 months ago) so I'm pretty excited to check that out.

    I believe that may have been cited in the Zahorian Trials.

    "...the boys need their nosesnacks."

    Patterson? Strongbow? Some inner-circle suit.

     

    I believe that it was Patterson with the "boys need their candy" line.

     

     

    I'm picturing Patterson saying this while dressed up in some Party Monster-type rave gear

    I don't know if anyone else suggested this, but they could go by the European Union. Of course since it's WWE, they'd eventually abbreviate it to the EU, but it'd still be awesome.

     

    Not only has it been suggested, but it's an idea that has been around since Regal was in WCW in the late 90's. Possibly the most fantasy booked suggestion in IWC history outside of a Cena turn.

     

     

    I don't want to be a dick or anything, but Cesaro/Barrett/Sheamus as stable seems like a fresh idea to me. Actually, yeah, Regal as a mouthpiece would be a pretty sweet idea-- shit, you could even throw Paige in if you wanted to. I vaguely remember the ideas you're talking about from when I was young, but I think this group would be a lot different than Regal/Finlay/Alex Wright or whoever the popular suggestions were in those days.

    I saw Aksana at a house show like two months ago in my town, and EVERYONE over the age of 12 was getting SUPER weird about her. I don't want to be future endeavored from the board, so that's all I'll say about that.

     

     

     

    Not a terrible card.

     

    Not a terrible card?! That's a little understated, if you ask me. It's got MTV star "Rapid Delivery" Rory mafuckin' Fox, what else could you ask for?!!?
