Yeah it's been completely mundane, even during Impact. The main moderator, Chris Regal, has been at the Democratic Convention and hasn't been around much.

e: these MENSA candidates still think TNA is ever going to India. The India tour that was supposed to happen this summer.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
I take it Vince Russo's rant that "Sasha Banks and Finn Balor going over on RAW mean that wrestling isn't fun any more" counts for this topic?

What must it feel like to always expect something far better than realistically possible and then constantly move goalposts and dig your heels in when your dreams are consistently crushed?

Yup, he got me and I have no idea why.

TNAMemes guy, aka Bruce, started up a splinter site which is just as popular as you're imagining it to be.

Nobody expects better than realistically possible things from WWE. We expect disappointment. That's why we're pleasantly surprised and poo poo ourselves every time there's a good Raw.

Room of maladjusted adults singing the praises of a shady as poo poo white lady. Sounds about right for a TNA fan.

Maybe if the Harris Brothers took full ownership the Dixie love would have transferred and Chris Regal would have enjoyed the beautiful sites of Cleveland.

Wrestling once a week for 10 years doesn’t count. When wrestling is all you do, when everyone in the world knows who you are and you’ve held titles and main-evented PPVs – that’s when you start to get to the point where you might deserve a little something extra.

-Randy Orton, pretty much saying wrestling in the indies doesn’t entitle you to anything once you’re in WWE.

Tumblr posted:


Before CM Punk, no one really cared if a WWE star wrestled in the indies. Now it’s become a prerequisite for a WWE star to be accepted by the IWC. Did Daniel Bryan’s forced retirement teach them nothing?

I just sorta assume its because indie wrestling nerd fans are finally starting to see their fave indie wrestlers getting shots at the big leagues, so naturally whenever the fringe thing you like and obsess about starts getting a little more mainstream, wrestling fans just can't be happy for them.

It's just weird because it's pretty much how it's always been. I mean the indies are just a different version of the territories, they just have more exposure these days.

I honestly don't even get the second one, is the implication that indie guys all are going to retire early due to injury?

First guy has a point, the life of an independent wrestler is pretty easy and rewarding, and really requires no hard work or sacrifice*


*only true if previously a WWE star and capable of picking and choosing dates for big paydays from idiot promoters, especially if the year is 1992

Besides, plenty of people work for several indies at a time, which would have them on a pretty grueling schedule. The problem is "indie" has become an umbrella term for "not WWE". DG guys work 3-5 times a week, but if Tozawa signs I'll be surprised if he doesn't get the same treatment just because "You've done things but you haven't done them here."

There's lots of "internet darling sucks" posts in the latest batch of confessions, while it fits the purpose of the tumblr it could also be someone trolling. Examples:

Can we get a countdown timer for whenever people post a ringside confession about any big name/controversial wrestler, counting the seconds it takes for someone to pop in with a hot-rear end "omg but it tru tho???" take?
