I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

I'm shocked Gene Snitsky wasn't offered a long term deal; the company motto after all is "it wasn't my fault."

And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

If the Aces & Eights gave us anything, it gave Bully tons of heat for a short while (that TNA promptly wasted) and gave us those moments where Bully was able to tell Hogan that he screwed Brooke on national TV. That's gotta count for something.

Bully was actually so much better before the A&8s. He was over as gently caress being "Calfzilla" and using his Twitta Machine. A&8s ruined him.

Bully in Aces & Eights would've been fine (well... not fine but at least better) if they did the smart thing and had him cheat and reveal himself as the leader to win the Bound for Glory series in 2012 before cheating again to win the title from Austin Aries. Instead they stretched it out way too loving far and tried to have him be face for a couple months just to make it that much more of a ~*~SWERVE~*~

Then what they DID do would've been comparatively fine if they'd had A&8's president Bully hold the title until BFG, INCLUDING beating Sabin, only to be beaten by Lone Wolf Styles. Instead they hotshotted the title to Sabin in the worst match ever for the worst reign ever and sorta half ditched the Lone Wolf gimmick to have AJ join the MEM only not really because Kurt's a druggie.

vinny ru apologists are giving tna apologists a run for their money in the delusional department

quote:

As far as I can tell the reasons to keep it a secret were: A) Spike have been poisoned by Bischoff's lies B) Potential Japanese partners think it's racist you need to speak English to get a push on US television. C) TNA will get bad publicity from dirt sheets and internet fans that account for less than 0.01% of the audience.

Great way to treat a guy who was a team player all his time at TNA and was never given a chance to run with the ball, had his name dragged through the mud, took all the heat and was forced out twice despite delivering ratings (even when handcuffed by people who had no business being in creative).

TNA sent out the following:

#BossToss: TNA Wrestling Declares August 7th “National Put Your Boss Through A Table Day”

Few are fortunate to work for a great leader. For the millions of others suffering from “I have the worst boss syndrome,” gritting the teeth and biting the tongue provide only a temporary fix to the daily agony of taking orders from a superior far less smart. To offer a solution to this global pandemic of frustration, TNA IMPACT WRESTLING (Spike TV, Thursdays 9/8c) is declaring this Thursday, Aug. 7, “Put Your Boss Through A Table Day.” Why keep slamming your head against the table when you can put your boss through it instead?

Between now and this Thursday night’s broadcast of IMPACT WRESTLING (Spike TV, 9/8c) the aggravated and oppressed are encouraged to check the social media policy section in their employee handbook then go online to share why their boss (past or present) deserves be tossed through a table using #BossToss. Be creative using video or photos, and be sure to tag @impactwrestling on twitter, and IMPACT WRESTLING on Facebook and Instagram when publishing a post.BossTossLogo

IMPACT will select the best #BossToss entries for a prominent impactwrestling.com feature, and one #BossToss Grand Prize Winner will be awarded a $250 ShopTNA gift card and tickets to a future IMPACT WRESTLING event.

“Put Your Boss Through A Table Day” shares August 7 with other well-known celebrations like “Particularly Preposterous Packaging Day,” “Sea Serpent Day” and “India Pale Ale Day,” and is inspired by TNA Superstar and Hall of Fame inductee Bully Ray, who for months has endured constant harassment and provocation from his boss, TNA President Dixie Carter. Bully has guaranteed on IMPACT WRESTLING this Thursday, Aug. 7, (watch a preview) he will slam Dixie through a table, with #ItHappens already trending on twitter.

"I know what it’s like to have a boss you don’t respect; to have a boss you want to toss because you know you can do a better job,” said Bully. “This Thursday on IMPACT I will keep my promise of putting Dixie through a table and you will not want to miss the moment #ItHappens.”

I thought Bully Ray vs Joesph Park was one of the best feuds TNA had in a long time. Then Bully got caught up in the whole A&8's thing and they did nothing with the Joesph Park storyline for about a year so no one cared about him anymore and then he went back to being Abyss and people cared even less.

"this character change for abyss has gotten over? eh let's just put a mask back on him and turn him heel just so we can copy wwe again"

but seriously how can you possibly justify corporate abyss? it fails to be both original or logical. also looked terrible. a true trifecta of poo poo.

no the problem was that it got over so were scared to do anything with it and it stagnated for an entire year (just like aces and eights minus the getting over part)
