MassRafTer posted:Bobby Cruise was impossible to hear for the preshow so unless you know who is who on the roster it'd be guesswork on who was in the match. Trying to remember it later I was left with "Uh, the white Decade young boy... Adam Everett? No wait I think he's the one who does cool poo poo..." I don't really blame whoever it was who sent in the report. Yes let's please have a "wrestle goons express dumb as poo poo opinions on race" derail in yet another thread.

TNAsylum on why it isn't so bad if Spike cancels TNA!quote:For months now, we have all heard the rumors that Spike may not be renewing their TV deal with TNA. In fact, it is said that many in TNA were concerned over WWE’s deal with NBC Universal expiring because Spike was rumored to be looking to bring WWE back to the Viacom family. We now know that those concerns are over as WWE has reached a new deal with NBC Universal, but backstage morale in TNA is still said to be low due to the cost-cutting measures and (mainly) the lacking sense of security over TNA’s deal with Spike ending this fall. TNA is being proactive in the hopes of a Spike renewal by signing with the United Talent Agency (UTA) to help retain and create new television opportunities. But let’s just say that Spike doesn’t want to re-sign TNA to a deal. Is it really all THAT bad?

I was actually surprised to see such a hopeful delusional column on there last night. They've been getting kind of depressed lately. They posted those horrible quarter hour ratings yesterday and didn't even try to defend it.

And it is undeniable that they do have some talent, but they'll never amount to anything with the horrible booking/business practices the company employs. I don't know why these people even bother defending it when that is a fact.

So Vince Russo reviewed RAW. It was a pretty bog standard review, until...quote:But, here is where it broke down for me: with the dozen plus colorful characters by Rose’s side–-I couldn’t take my eyes off of the “Easter Bunny”. I don’t know, he was just mesmerizing to me. Maybe it’s a TRIX fetish from back in the day–-who knows what goes through my twisted mind any more. God bless Vince Russo and his insanity. There are other choice quotes but I'll let you read them yourself. http://www.pyroandballyhoo.com/bro-freakin-easter-bunny-raw/ DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 02:29 on May 23, 2014 |

DarkstarIV posted:So Vince Russo reviewed RAW. It was a pretty bog standard review, until... Help, I'm in full agreement with Vince Russo! I think he's 100% correct to say Swagger attacking the bunny so Adam could save it would have been a smart booking move and added much needed juice to the feud AND both characters. I feel dirty. I mean, Alberto Del Rio ran over Santa, is putting a rabbit in the Patriot Lock any worse? ...But just when I thought he had a good point about booking a wrestling show, I looked at the comments: The French Angel posted:Good stuff. In an ode to Vince Russo, Adam Rose is in a match for the Intercontinental title versus Bad News Barrett, as Rose is on the verge of pinning Barrett, the rabbit comes into the ring and hits rose over the head with a foreign object. Vince Russo posted:I LOVE THAT!!! Now, that's some booking!!! Maximum in effect.

I don't see how anyone could be staring at a guy in a rabbit costume when there was a woman wearing a skin tight latex Captain America costume there. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Russo was a furry at this point.

To be fair, part of why WCW died so quickly was because the people paying for it wanted to be rid of the drat thing as soon as possible, while The Carters want whoever gets TNA to take Dixie too.

If you go down in their comments (I recognize the avatar as one of the biggest TNApologists on TNAsylum) they seem to acknowledge all these but without seeing the irony of claiming that Kaz/Daniels have seen their best years, but I guess Hardy and Angle haven't. It's worth reading the comment thread to see how he hilariously tries to paint Lashley as some gigantic star. quote:Will1225 TNA Dude • 2 days ago quote:Will1225 themosayat • a day ago quote:Will1225 themosayat • 21 hours ago

Bobby Lashley is a product of WWE hype and the exact type of wrestler TNA fans would bash WWE for pushing 7 years ago, so seeing them praise him today really is something else.

More gems from the TNAsylum. http://www.tnasylum.com/2014/05/we-are-all-wrestlings-biggest-enemy.html Time to finally get to the root of TNA's problems: the fans! quote:Only in pro wrestling do fans watch a program with such judgement and cynicism. Only in pro wrestling do we intentionally look for plot holes, logical gaps, and seek explanation of reoccurring or similar story lines. Yup, all other shows have fanbases that are just positive about their fandom 100% of the time. And do you really have to "look" for logic gaps in TNA wrestling? Other enemies include the English language: quote:This all lends to the "booking" sinkhole we all fall into. Again, someone needs to clearly define "good booking" because everyone, every single one of us, touts their mighty fists in the air proclaiming this golden diatribe against wrestling today with no - none whatsoever - substance at all. On how ridiculous it is to find race as a factor in MVP's stable: quote:Anyone else find it insanely hilarious how many assume TNA was going for an all-black faction gimmick just because all three men are of color? If a stable had 100% of a promotion's white wrestlers in it and no one else, I think it might be seen by some as a racially motivated stable. Can't wait for Rampage or some more Bellator guys to join up with MVP.

When they go up whoever posts them (It is assumed to be Dave) posts them with the title "Joe Babinsack on X" and then admin Tony changes the title and article because he hates Babinsack.
