Bobby Lashley used to be my best evidence that John Cena is a great wrestler.

The idea that TNA is booking Kenny around his stripping dates and that it isn't the other way around is pretty silly. TNA forgets to use him for months because they are a stupid company not because he's too busy stripping.

Jason Sextro posted:I actually really enjoyed Sting's matches with Vader in WCW, there was some really good storytelling that surprised me. I can't remember which one specifically, but there was one match where the story was that Sting wasted too much energy doing power moves, so by the end Vader won when Sting didn't have the strength to powerslam him anymore and Vader fell on top. Sting could have great matches but they were almost entirely before 1996. After that point his good matches are limited to DDP who planned his matches out extensively and Kurt Angle and well, he's Kurt Angle. Even before 96 there isn't much after the end of the Vader series. It's hard to call someone underrated when he was mostly bad for 20 years.

Ghidzilla posted:Can't hate Sting. He was my hero when I was a little mark and when I met him in 1990 when I was 12 I timidly went up to him and asked if it was really him and did he really hurt his knee and he said yes and showed me the scar and gave me his autograph. Talked to me for ten minutes even though he was running late for a flight (so I later found out). Please never ever watch a WWA PPV with Sting on it.

I thought it was TNA being dumbarses, (which it was), but now it is yet another brick in the mansion that is the orange goblins shrine to his own gargantuan ego and inability to ever look bad on TV. Hogan probably didn't write it, that was likely what they came up to try and please him. At the time it was possible he'd return.

Bobby Lashley has already lost to an obvious can and I don't mean JT. He also got brutalized by a middleweight when he gassed in the third round.

Lotus Brony posted:Is Belator at risk of losing their Spike deal? If not, and with TNA doing this cross promotion, it feels to me that it might be an indication Spike will want TNA around for a while longer. And while TNA's numbers may not be anything to even mention, they're not completely bad for a sports show (other sport shows being vaulting or maybe swim meets). Bellator is owned by Viacom so they are at no risk unless Viacom decides they don't want to lose money on MMA. (Given the information that is public, Bellator itself is not turning a profit.) They just underwent a change in management though so this may be nothing more than Scott Coker thinking there is money in Lashley. He used him in Strikeforce.

skaboomizzy posted:I didn't hate this week's Impact, but they're never getting that hot a crowd again. I strongly suspect the August NYC tapings are going to be terrible because you can only coast on ECW nostalgia for so long. If arena management has decided to raise the price for the building just because they know Dixie will tape there at a loss, it's even funnier. They were already taping there at a loss so what's more loss?

He's not asking him how much he made to dig into his private life. Taz is being a dick about Wade not liking anything and just criticizing TNA and "maybe you should open your own company" so Wade asks him that question because no one is getting raises. The company is in a lovely state. It's not the nicest way to say it, but you can tell Taz knows it is true.

The guy can work and make his opponents look great. Is there some horrendous behind the scenes stuff I missed? Aries was kind of likable to sociopaths like myself because he was such a loving douche in real life that it was kind of endearing. (Like Jamie Varner.) Then he got into the Boston Bombing conspiracy tweets, the sexually harassing Christy Hemme and other idiocy and it was just dumb.

When ROH was running there it was a huge step up because their typical venues looked pretty terrible and this was a legitimate nice looking room. TNA doesn't run the nicest places, but the Grand Ballroom just looks... off.
