I love the idea of WWE champion Brock Lesnar wanting to avenge a loss from three years ago in the UFC.

TNAMecca:

quote:

- This week, I'd like to begin with the influx of rumors coming from the dirtsheets lately about all sorts of TNA-related topics. The amount of unsubstantiated rumors I'm seeing on a daily basis is absolutely insane. Even more insane is the fact that almost all of them will be proven to be false when it's all said and done yet some seem to believe them. I suppose if you pay a monthly fee for "insider" stuff, you're more inclined to believe it regardless of how preposterous it sounds. The reality is that insider "news" is no more legit than anything you'd read in the National Inquirer but as long as there's a market, the dirtsheets will continue to have to find "news" to report in order to justify the fees they charge. Let's be real, if dirtsheets had insider news or scoops from real sources, I assure you, they'd be screaming it from the rooftops in order to get the credit, something any site with credibility would strive for. Instead, they tuck the news away for only a select few to have access to it. As a subscriber, one has to wonder why that is. I, personally, don't subscribe to any dirtsheet nor do I plan to. I prefer to get my news from the real sources who can confirm their reports and it won't cost me a single penny. If you're a TNA fan, I urge you to not settle for "insider" reports from unnamed sources because in most cases, neither the dirtsheet nor the source have your best interests at heart or those of the wrestling promotion they're supposedly reporting about. They're in it to make money and although I don't begrudge them that, I have an issue with their untruthfulness. Because let me be clear, the only credible source is one that can provide evidence for what their reporting. Wrestling fans should expect nothing less...especially those who are willing to pay for it.

Another DVDVR gem:

quote:

they should not be broadcasting nxt on the network nor advertising it as a special event. It has nothing to do with match quality, but rather you are overexposing future stars, taking away the surprise of their arrival, and allowing fans to see them developing. Latest example, the Ascension...loses title to a former WWE jobber and 5'6 luchador, beat up by one guy on the way out the door, yet you expect them to be built as credible challengers on the big show. Does them no favors.

As a Pirates fan ( :suicide: ) living in Indy, I sure got tired of seeing Andrew McCutchen when he was with the Indianapolis Indians and gave no fucks about him by the time he became the Pirates' franchise player.

Is there any evidence a lovely initial prelim run really hurts you with fans? Good talent seems to overcome it. Cena, Ziggler, and Bray are fine. NXT season 1 had way more viewers and didn't hold back Bryan or Barrett. Axel and Dallas didn't flop because fans remembered their past.

He means that while the fans all take out their cell phones for Bray and cheer Ziggler after all these years Cena still only gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. They remember.

WWE always drew well in Louisville.

Also the standard main roster booking is way, way, way more destructive to wrestlers than anything NXT does.

The next NXT special should be on Christmas day:

I'm probably in the minority here but I think it would make a great excuse for spending less time with the in-laws. Just saying.

No one on earth was smoking more weed than me in the late 90's and I still hated Kronik. I think it's because they had what should've been a stoner gimmick with no indication of that in their actual characters at all.

I thought it was established on PSP that The Ascension are Stargate vampires.


I still think the best/coolest/funniest way to have debuted them in WWE is to have them be cosmic villains for Goldust/Stardust. Like they opened a portal to create a shortcut to the Cosmic Key and The Ascension popped out.

Yeah their name is Kronik but theres NOTHING that they did that said "I smoke weed" other than their finisher being High Times or whatever, also they were mercenaries at one point or another?

God Kronik sucks

You have to remember the Russo theory of booking, the two guys had reputations backstage for being huge potheads so as a result Russo assumed everyone knew what he did and knew that reputation without showing the audience it.

They tried to address it one time in a backstage skit. These... guys, I don't know (it's been a long time) were talking, and then someone slid a piece of paper under the door. They picked it up and read it aloud: "It's 4:19, got a minute?" And then kronik came in and started beating up everyone.

It went over pretty well as you can see...
