This one goes out to all the Legomaniacs!
Somewhere, there is a script of Edge's first segment in TNA with him taking 5 chair shots.

And a curb stomp.

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I want Edge to show up backstage at TNA with WWE contracts for the Hardys and tryout schedules for everyone else, along with the number of a lawyer well-versed in tearing apart lovely boilerplate contracts that TNA probably uses for their talent.

Edge will never even return an e-mail from them

gently caress "Haven," TNA could set him up with guest shots on prime Destination America programming like Bog Fuckers, Tooter's Truckin' Tales, and Swap Meet Soiree. Edge would be a fool to refuse.

I wish WWECW was still a thing because a wrestler with a Swamp Thing gimmick named The Bog Fucker would probably get over.

Brain Aneurysm from working in TNA too long.
Suicide from realizing that his career went from wrestlemania to TNA.
Fake injury so that he can come back as "Black Suicide"
Self inflicted to try to get Dixie to pay something, anything, please my kids are starving.
He hurt his ankle maybe?

There's some parallel universe where Ken Anderson didn't gently caress up all his opportunities and has held the WWE title for several years as the main eventer son of Vince McMahon.

I'm glad we don't live there and instead live in the one where he's in a C-level promotion seen by nobody.

tbf dressing yourself is a little less hard than running a wrasslin' company + based on the stories of her trolling the TNA Knockouts with her expensive clothes/jewelry, she's probably at least somewhat aware fashion-wise

:lol: it was actually brought up like this, "So remember the wrestlers The Hardy Boys? Well, one of them, Jeff, recently got dropped on his head after taking a nasty spill off the top of a steel cage in a recent match."

No mention of TNA, the other guys just laughed it off, and moved on to college football talk.

Looking at the picture posted above, I'm inclined to disagree. What you're saying boils down to "what she wears can't be ugly because she is rich", which is a dumb and slightly disgusting sentiment to have.

Meltzer didn't like the end of Impact:

quote:

Lashley regained the title from Roode in 19:55. This was a good match, but not as good as their previous bouts. During the match they cut backstage as security tried to throw out MVP and King. But two masked guys beat up security. They were trading near falls. Lashley had a busted mouth. Lashley used heavy rain for a near fall. No, nobody recognized it. Lashley missed a spear into the corner and Roode countered with a spear for a near fall. MVP & King came to ringside with the two masked guys. Roode had Lashley in the crossface. Lashley got out. Roode hit the Roode bomb and Lashley kicked out. Roode went back to the crossface. Fans were chanting “tap” when King pulled ref Brian Hebner out of the ring and decked him. Angle came out, but King, MVP and the two masked men surrounded him. Roode went to help, but then they asked if he wanted some and he backed off, which is stupid unless he’s turning, and at this point, the last thing they need is more turns. There was no ref. The masked guys unmasked as Low Ki and Samoa Joe. Eric Young made the save with a chair. Of course Young then hit Roode with the chair and Lashley got the pin with a spear. It ended with MVP, King, Joe, Low Ki and Young all together as the new top heel group. They nearly put themselves out of business with this style of television, cut their audience down greatly and now they have almost disappeared from public perception and instead of learning from it, they only know one way. Nothing is more sad that constantly watching people run wrestling who have never studied wrestling, nor even pay attention to what works and doesn’t work, and I don’t even mean in other years, I mean this year and last year. But they know no other way because they honestly have no clue of how to engage fans nor have a clue how to make them care. When this was over, I didn’t care, which is the wrong emotion to have when trying to build an audience. When they said they were going to have a face lift and change things, all they did was change the lead announcer and darken the building because there were no fans. They didn’t examine for one second why nobody was buying tickets before and somehow hoped beyond hope that changing the announcer and making all the same mistakes would change their fortune. When it was over, it blew my mind. My five year old got in trouble at school and got punished. Guess what. She doesn’t get in trouble in school anymore. They follow the Vince Russo playbook of a million angles that make no sense that nobody can keep up with even with a notebook (and I promise you, nobody watches wrestling with a notebook but me), it fails for years, and instead of figuring out we got punished by losing our TV deal, but now we have to rebuild, they do the exact same thing. You spend umpteen times more than ROH and now they are beating you in the ratings and selling more tickets to their shows. Hello, is anybody home? What happens next week when somebody does voiceovers of two year old matches from Japan and goes even or beats you? Will you stick to your not learning the business and thinking this is what the public wants?
