Yes, TNA was #1 on the hit list when NXT was created. They stole the X from the X Division. Oh, Nom :allears:

I get that these people are insanely dumb but how can you possibly think calling your developmental show "NeXT" is a loving shot at TNA because they used the letters T and X

Hey, it uses the "N" too, for Nonstop (Theft). :tinfoil:

The discussion's on their latest article. Chris Regal made a comment about "spewing Vince Russo's talking points". Amazingly, it seems a decent chunk of Mecca at least realizes that Russo is bad. He has some defenders, though. Guess who:

Thank you Daniel Bryan.....for listening to Jumpin Jim Grabowski when we were both in Memphis in 2000. I told him "lose the mask GQ, the ladies will GUSH when they see that babyface" Next week the American Dragon loses the hood, panties commence in being dropped and now he's jamming his balls in a Bellas coochie. Well done kid, you were one of the good ones

Also he seems to think Ezekiel Jackson and Titus O'Neil are the same person.

Stop all usage of the letters T, N or A or be sued by Dixie Carter.

That includes all countries such as the United States.

That's kinda like McDonald's coffee lady in bad legal cites though.

It wasn't over the letter T like RD Reynolds would like you to believe

Stevie Ray and Big T (Harlem Heat 2000) sued Booker T over his share of the intellectual property rights of Harlem Heat, which included the name "Booker T", as well as his pyro, ring gear, titantron, and the Harlem Heat theme music.

Why they didn't sue WCW is anyone's guess.

After Booker lost, he was forced to wrestle as Booker Huffman and come out to some generic jobber music.

And then he became GI Bro for like 2 months, which was somehow an even worse storyline for him to end up in.

Even if Bryan could have a final match without risking any physical harm, the idea that he'd have it in a promotion that he never worked for is utterly laughable.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
But TNA could have offered him storylines that he could only dream of in the WWE. Like an undercard feud with… *checks current TNA roster* Mandrews.

While I love good promos and hope we continue to see them, without great matches, I may as well just watch stand up comics. I mean, Bill Burr and Norm Macdonald are as good on the mic as Ethan and E-Li, and I wouldn't have to see Grado.

Eli Drake and EC3 are as good on the mic as comedians Norm MacDonald and Bill Burr.
