Daniel Bryan: May 23, 2006; GOAT

0.83

We just need 1.0.

Also, a recap from Reddit of an interview Jesse Neal did recently:

quote:

-Jesse says he's not doing the interview for money or publicity or to further himself in wrestling. He just wants to see the record straight.
-Confirms he's working at Walmart, mentioned being spotted by a fan when he was working there. A few hours later it hit the web.
-He's not ashamed of working the nightshift at Wal Mart and confirms it pays better than TNA. He also does landscaping during the day. So he's working two full-time jobs right now and barely has time to sleep. He wants to do whatever he can to provide for his wife and new daughter.
-Doesn't get why people make fun of wrestlers for working real jobs.
-Says he barely made money in TNA and the idea they pay big bucks is ridiculous. Says he turned down going to OVW because it was for more work for far less money. Didn't want to be stuck in Kentucky sleeping on someone's couch with five or six other wrestlers when he supposedly had a TV deal for a big time promotion.
-Complains about Bruce Prichard and calls him a piece of �s***.� Says him and Shannon Moore were getting over big as a team (as Ink Inc), the office liked them, the fans liked them, but it was Prichard who had a hand in demanding they split and that Jesse go back to OVW for more training.
-Said he had good personal interactions with Dixie, but he did hear stories of her being two-faced and false with wrestlers. Says he doesn't personally see her as a bad person, but thinks if she understood the business better she would treat wrestlers more compassionately.
-Says he would work for Jeff Jarrett's new promotion in a heartbeat. Thinks anything Jarrett does will be money.
-Says WWE has a great medical team, pays for the best surgeons and takes care of wrestlers because they know the wrestlers are the show and value them. TNA doesn't, and Jesse calls them the s***s when he had his medical issues.
-On a TNA pay-per-view he says he broke his neck badly with torn ligaments. He could barely move for days after and was in complete agony. The TNA doctor just told him to go home and rest and didn't offer much help beyond that.
-Jesse doesn't know if wrestlers need a union or not. Thinks they need some protection, but he also likes the �fight for your own� mentality than comes with not having one and thinks it encourages people to work harder.
-Says TNA should be like WWE and 100% take care of in-ring injuries. Says if he gets hurt working at Wal-Mart they would pay for it too. So he sees it as ridiculous that TNA refuses to.
-He didn't have a second job in TNA, although he knew of people who did. He thinks if TNA wants its wrestlers to be stars it has to pay them decently and treat them like stars.
-Says he doesn't think his history with concussions would be a problem getting into WWE. Said he went through their medical tests with flying colors.

My wife and I are listening to today's podcast, and they started discussing TNA. They brought up Spud, and she just shouted "Oh my God, that's so loving sad!" in response to his name.

Edit: now she's asking about Vince Russo. Does anyone have a handy guide to his idiocy that I could send to her?

The worst part about this is that it's true nobody would consider him a world champion after being a comedy act for years and the interview itself was actually pretty good and him winning probably would have been an upset surprise but all this hokey copycat poo poo is just making it all hilarious and sad

Of course they made a knockoff 'Journey to Wrestlemania' documentary. Of course.

Though 'Journey to some random impact' doesn't have the same gravitas.

There aren't any

Eric Young talks about being one of the people, Magnus calls him a fraud because he has his own fishing show thus is obviously not one of the people, TNA people congratulate Eric Young for winning in a very obviously staged line of hugs one after another.

What do you expect when their head of creative was, prior to this, a WWE hire because he was a friend of Kevin Dunn and prior to that worked at Costco?

I'm shocked that someone would publically identify themselves as a friend of Dunn.

LOP; attributed to PWInsider posted:

There are many people within TNA, who were apparently once in the know, that are upset at how things are being kept a secret creatively now.

Eric Young's World Heavyweight Title win was kept a major secret and officials were very paranoid about it getting out. A source observed that officials put so much effort into keeping secrets, if they put that much energy into TNA's plan of execution then maybe they could capitalize on some things in a better way.

Regarding talk that Young's title win was a rip off of Daniel Bryan's win in WWE, the word from within TNA is that the title change was not done because Bryan won and it was done because that was the last live episode of Impact Wrestling for a few weeks and officials really wanted to surprise a lot of people.

quote:

Former WWE Vice President of Reality, Promotions and Special Projects Doug Lebow has been working for TNA in production and other aspects of the company. He's described as "Big" John Gaburick's new right-hand man. Lebow is someone people really like and worked various roles in WWE for several years. Lebow was in the news last year after it was incorrectly reported online that he passed away.
