Thank you, Nigel McGuinness for being the champion ROH has needed through this extremely important time of it going to PPV and then nationally (where available) televised programming. I feel awesome for following your beautiful reign from its very humble beginning, to the perfect heel turn I witnessed live at 6YA, to the epic battles with Steenerico, to the nailbiter question of "when will he lose it?" that started with the 7YA weekend. Thank you for being our champion.

I will now take this time to express my utter DISGUST that Jerry Freaking Lynn is the man who will go down as ending this majestic title reign. It's like Jeb Bush somehow beating Obama in 2012.. or the ****ty royal cousin replacing Elizabeth II.. or HHH replacing Vinnie Mac (wait...****!).

Really, ROH? This was the best roster member to give the belt to? Lynn is a great performer, I won't put him past that. I enjoy his work and he has a superstar aura to him; we all know that. However.. he was the New F'n Show.. TEN YEARS AGO!! Jerry Lynn should be a special attraction match kinda guy... like exactly what you've done to Bryan Danielson! If he & Lynn were switched in roles, things would be so much better, honestly. Lynn is, and will forever be, "not an ROH guy." Was James Gibson a good champion at all? Anyone wanna back him up? No! Because he wasn't a real ROH roster member! He was a special guest from TV, just.. like... Jerry Lynn.

You get this belt onto someone who deserves it as soon as goddang possible. I don't care about the Tyler Black whiners, who got tired of his chase! He still has his mitb title match and he should've shocked us all by cashing in on Nigel, right after Nigel put Mr. ECW Nostalgia away for good. THAT would've been perfect. Tyler Black for champion! Jimmy Jacobs for champion! Davey Richards for champion! El Generico for champion! Austin Aries for champion! Kevin Steen for champion! Necro freaking Butcher for champion!! People who have been in ROH and someone the ROH faithful can TRULY respect for representing them.

And yet you gave it to the arguably the weakest babyface in the main event level. Hope you're happy.

Thank you, Nigel.
Screw you, ROH.

For the record, my rant against Lynn counts towards my thanking of Nigel. I'm sure Nigel appreciates my open mind and shares my opinions on Geritol Lynn.

So yeah, I didn't go off-topic.

i'm sad tho, as his legacy as roh champ is tarnished for whom he was booked to drop it too. it shouldve been used to push someone to the moon... not give an ailing former indy superstar/major league failure one last moment in the sun.

so in my thanks to nigel for everything that i mentioned in my previous post, at the same time i commiserate with him that an epic title run was not capped off in the manner that he deserved.

Thankyou Nigel for still putting your body through the mill and enduring pain in order to keep the fans happy. To still go through a match with Kenta recently and put on another match last night must have been bloody hard work. He could have just droppped out and had them change the cards up but he gutted it out.

Of course ROH have managed to flush all the hard earned credibility of the title down the drain by putting it on a washed up has-been instead of giving a HUGE rub to an up and coming star, but that's not the fault of Nigel.

I think a Rock return match would disappoint all. You just know Huntor would make it a 3-way match with him in it. And again we’d have those awful verbal fellatio interviews where Huntor’s opponents talk about how awesome he is, and how it’s a great honor to fight him. (Gawd I can’t stand Huntor.)

Why not turn it into a Royal Rumble match then. You can have 30 wrestlers trying to top each other in who “Respects” Huntor more. The winner can be Cena, who tells the other 29 that they’re so pathetic for kissing up, only to turn-around and do an A+ “You can’t see me, but you sure can Hear me!” patented butt kissing on Hunter. the nardy boys reunite to take on Hunter’s rear end cheeks in a “Join Hunter’s special club” match.

There is a reason that there are only 7 full matches on this DVD. The rest of the content is bullcrap like seeing Christian's house...who cares? I mean really only 7 matches? I'm sure there is only 7 due to the fact that finding material worthy of labeling not only "classic" but "Instant Classic" would be excruciatingly difficult for the poor soul ordered to do so. It must have taken them months before they finally settled on some "This will have to do" footage. I'm glad this idiot went back to the WWE, but I'm starting to wonder why anyone would want to watch TNA in lieu of WWE. Both of them suck now. Go back to the 2005 formula guys and whomever is booking and writing...here's a tip...FIRE THEM!!!! Just like that loser Christian and then put all of these DVD's in a recycle bin somewhere.

Bill Walkowitz on why he likes TNA

I'd like to take a few minutes and respond back to Carl Evan's column. Maybe he can another point of view. I'm an old time wrestling fan in his 40's and have been watching since I was age 11 when I saw my first show at the International Ampitheatre in Chicago. Superstar Billy Graham and Dusty Rhodes were a tag team on that show. I'm one of the customers that the WWE say is never right. I'm always wrong according to the land of McMahons. So since I'm so wrong according to them and the mindset there, I decided they're the ones who are wrong and rarely watch their product, and very rarely buy a PPV or go to one of their shows.

I'm also a guy when I lived in NH was fortunate enough to work for three different indy companies, doing all the little things that help get a show going(setting up chairs, tables, ring, getting as building, locally promoting shows in commission towns that require a "resident" of the state to have the show put in his name. One of them groups was host to a series of WWF training dojo shows,.so I was able to see guys like the Hardys, Edge, Christian, Kurt Angle(being managed by Dory Funk jr), and also was very fortunate enough to meet Jim Cornette. What label that gives me, I don't know. But first and foremost, I've always been a fan, and I know what drives THIS fan.

For all of Carl's opinions of TNA. TNA gives me more of what drives me as a fan than anything the WWE is doing. Every promotion's going to have its flaws, name one that don't. But TNA has been the promotion that keeps me being a fan. it's drives me to buy their PPV's watch their shows and go way out of my way and get their dvds(like the long journey I went thru to get acoup[le recent dvds that were supposed to be at "major retailers now" but weren't and I have a walmart, the largest most major retailer in the world, right in the town I live in). It drove me to my local walmart and bitch and yell and complain about them having the TNA video game, but no DVDs, and now because I created such a fuss, I was able to yesterday purchase the Jeff jarrett 4 disc dvd set. Watching this and the kurt angle one reminds me why I hate WWE's product so much. I'm tired of the McMahon family being shoved down my throat, and when they see it's not working, what do they do? They continue to do it anyway.

I'm not the biggest Jeff Jarrett fan, but I found his dvd set more entertaining and great to watch than anything the WWE has done in over 2 years. The only recent "WWE" dvd I bought was the one they put out on World Class Championship Wrestling, anything else they put out now you'd be lucky you could pay me to watch it. and if they actually DO something that's good(like letting Steamboat wrestle, which was about the only I liked about Wrestlemania), they put the kabash on it right away, and thrust HHH/Orton in a way everyone can see isn't working, not getting over and nobody cares about. But because he's married to "daddy's daughter" and daddy's daughter is in charge of creative, it's "let's put the blinders on because we know better than the fans who keep us in business will ever know" mentality.

HBK vs Undertaker, good but I've seen better. I've seen where the simplest things still work, I grew up watchingwell put Stan Hansen as a great example, when he came into the AWA he said "forget the NWA, Forget Ric Flair, I wan be AWA champion and Rick Martel, I'm going to be champion". Simple, to the point, bang! you got a reason and a storyline. Or "I came here to the World Class Area because there's one world, and there should be one world champion". WWE's own Jerry Lawler said that when he was AWA world champion. again, simple, to the point, and it got over. TNA at least acknowledges there's other organizations out there, recognizes the past achievements of stars. There's alot of little things that TNA does that still drives this fan, this cuatomer who's always wrong according to the WWE.

Last time I checked the motor city machine guns were aspiring to be one of the best IWGP jr. tag champs ever.I don't know what Carl's looking at but I can see them putting those Japanese titles over on tv.Think Vince McMahon would ever do that now? nope. He's had the chance, did do that and flopped every time. he had the golden eggs of the NWA thing...flopped it, old ECW invasion...flopped it...WCW invasion...flopped it. At least TNA has taken some to build things up, WWE flopps at that too. hell the only group to get the old ECW invasion done right was
Memphis, and who was the owner at the time? Lawler and Jerry Jarrett. So there's your "developed Explanation", Carl.

I was thrilled to see Gail Kim and Christian in TNA, it gave them two a chance to shine where they weren't before and in Gail Kim's situation, lost in the shuffle(again) in WWE). Christian on the WWE's "C" show isn't doing the
numbers that he was doing when he was in TNA. I think AJ Styles needs to go to promo school, but what he does in the ring is totally amazing, there's one of the things that drives this fan. I mjaynot like the way they repackaged
Sama Joe, but I'm a great fan of what he can do in the ring, again, that is what drives this fan. Ring of Honor Without Gabe is like Pizza without cheese and his absence is so noticeable.

Funny Carl, you say the TNA ring work has desensitized fans to complicated ring work? pppps.. it hasn't with me so you should've said "some fans", or "Most fans", your generalizing when you really don't know what all fans think, kills your credibility.TNA has one glaring flaw that won't go away, and that's Vince Russo. For every time someone has tried to conmvince me he's a "genius" that he claims to be, I've been able to give validation to what beasily is nothing but a guy who've overhyped and hasn't created one thing that has put asses in seats. Anything he's done has flopped but because he's Jeff's buddy, he can continue to milk the company out of a paycheck he doesn't deserve to get. I'm not a fan of Foley having the title but it's tons better than Russo holding it, think about it.

"Nothing about TNA tells me there are qualified wrestling veterans who can aptly book a good show". Is that so? Well I guess you're wrong again cause they're drat qualified enough to book a show that keeps this long time fan interested. let's see YOU book a show that's perfect from top to bottom with no flaws whatsoever, and see how you react when people crap on it. before you say something like "well, what about you"? I have, and I did. as a birthday gift, one of the groups I worked for let me, and it went over well, what worked? simplest little things and because of one thing I did it elevated a guy to the next level and he was able to work on that to this very day, he works indys all over the northeast now, so you're wrong in that quote.

I'd rather see Babe Ruth retired than anything WWE is doing. I'll watch reruns of Dog the Bounty Hunter before I watch anything WWE has on. I get WGN and could watch the new superstars show, why? I liked the old Superstars show they used to have in the 80's. Nothing new or exciting is going to come from there. I'm sure Mr. Cornette and I could classify a hundred bad indy groups, anything WWE does,and...your opinion as well..as crap.. because this is one old time fan McMahon lost out on, that TNA and the way they present their show for the most part, has got, and will keep. They are the ones that can drive this fan moreso than anybody else anywhere and that includes MMA. So open your mouth, insert the foot, because, in the case of me, your opinion is dead wrong. I hope you can live with that..
