Naw, it's cool, wheves man. I was just trying to avoid another three page derail like when a bunch of black guys turned heel earlier this year.

flashy_mcflash posted:I think what bothered me about it most is that TNA felt it right to centre a whole commercial around it and actually give away everything but the 'money shot' of the second Dixie goes through the table. To me it came off as unbelievably desperate, like "GUYS! GUYS!! THIS LADY IS DEFINITELY GOING TO GET POWERBOMBED THROUGH A TABLE! SERIOUSLY GUYS!" It's almost like they've fetishized it. The blowoff to the Dixie angle was Lockdown 2014 when she was removed as head of wrestling operations. It was basically the perfect end to the whole stupid overlong angle and should have ended there. She was back three weeks later with barely any explanation aside from "I own the company, security's not gonna throw me out." This new table thing seems to be a pretty hosed up way to end this whole thing. You have Bully trying to throw Dixie through a table, which seems like a throwback to his WWE days of powerbombing women through tables and it's obnoxious for a bunch of reasons. 1. Dixie isn't a loving wrestler. The other women he did that to were either wrestlers at the time or had previously been wrestlers, trained to take bumps. 2. Bully is supposed to be a face. That stuff was designed to build a monster heel tag team. 3. Dixie Carter is no Mae Young. 4. She'll be back in three weeks because 5. THE loving NETWORK YOU ARE ON DOES NOT WANT MAN ON WOMAN VIOLENCE FOR FUCKS SAKE. If you really have to have the table powerbomb, they should have had ODB or somebody like that who would have some sort of beef with Dixie be the person who performs it.

The only reason I give bubba a bit of a pass is he knows what he's doing and can put her down really safely. Doesn't excuse doing it since SpikeTV says not to do it, but if anyone's going to do it, Bubba's not a bad choice.

My whole thing is that Dixie Carter is a piece of poo poo who constantly fucks over people who break themselves for her benefit so she can go through a table once or twice.

The last TNA match should definitely be a Reverse Dixie-On-A-Pole match. As in, whoever loses the match has to keep Dixie and take them home.

You gotta Russo that up some more. Its quite simple: -two dudes wrestle -every pinfall, the winner gets to chase dixie for 2 minutes -if they catch dixie they can hang her on the pole -this process repeats until Dixie is hung from the pole -each subsquent pinfall adds more wood and gasoline underneath the pole -the winner is the first person to successfully set the wood on fire.

I'm a really lefty kind of guy but I don't mind mixed matches. Wrestling is by definition a barbaric sport. If the female performer is well trained and can match the guy, why not? I wouldn't have a problem with someone like Natty going against a guy as long as its a straight match. As terrible as Chyna was, I liked her matches as a kid. The problem for me starts when you send out someone like Dixie, who's not trained to take a table. That's just stupid and she did get hurt, right?

So are Dixie and Vince Russo like secretly dating or something becuase then this whole thing where she sacrifices a company to him verges on making sense.

That's my pet theory as well, it only makes sense that Dixie would be so protective of him if she was giving him private "Dixie on a pole" matches on the side.
