triplexpac posted:I love the argument that Eric Young worked hard to get to where he is, and Daniel Bryan didn't do much at all Also I don't think anyone is talking poo poo about Young himself. Dude HAS worked hard and is a solid worker with charisma. But he wasn't in the 'Daniel Bryan' spot. He was in the 'Heath Slater' spot, and TNA apparently did nothing before this to change that. And this is the company that made people give a poo poo about James Storm by BUILDING to his title shot! Spend a month having Young beat more credible guys and Magnus first laughs him off, then starts ducking him, before he manages to get maybe his one and only shot, then you MIGHT have something. But taking an opening match job guy and hot-shotting the belt to him in an obvious attempt to cash in on the hottest angle on the industry leader's biggest show of the year? How can anyone, with the rosiest coloured glasses, see that as comparable?

Is Doug William any good? I know Doug Williams is awesome, but never heard of this other guy. The thing I love most about this whole thing is that both sides are asking the same question for very different reasons. "Why would Dixie lie about Russo?"

sticklefifer posted:It's not even just a victim complex, it's this weird, somehow completely self-unaware egocentrism where they think everything is about them when it's completely unrelated. Something happens in NJPW? Clearly something done specifically to bash TNA. WWE? Goes out of their way to make TNA look bad despite really never needing to. Someone in rural Bangladesh injured their knee? gently caress you, TNA had knee injuries way before this copycat. To be fair, WWE do actually do this occasionally.

Dave will be honest if a show or angle's good. And he was complimentary about the positive ratings Impact seems to be drawing, relatively speaking, on the new channel.

I love the Last Ride because it's dumb (he's lifting them by their pants!) and logical (a power bomb hurts, so a power bomb from EVEN HIGHER will hurt more!) at the same time. Like most of the best things in wrestling.

Unless Vince's PTSD around the term 'Junior' kicks in.

In all fairness, that kind of IS what they did with Rusev, and if they'd had Cesaro go in and destroy guys like Taker and Cena with Heyman crowing about how indestructible he was, I would bet he'd be a lot more over than he is now.

coconono posted:Dean's kinda garbage and Roman's not a top guy. I don't see what's wrong with this post. Because WWE's alternative is... nothing. They literally have no-one else that they're even close to willing to push at that level as a face. It's Roman and Dean, or hope to god that John Cena and the Undertaker don't disintegrate over the next decade. Hell, even the conspiracy theory that Bryan's cleared and they're not using him because they don't want him to be more over than Reigns banks on them not wanting to push a guy who is provably more popular than the one they want.

El Gallinero Gros posted:He was gonna do a shot for WWE but then the Vince and Shane insisted on beating his dad and HBK clean in a streetfight. Plus he was leery of working for major U.S. promoters after the whole Sandman crucifixion angle, he had no interest in re-living the Rome screwjob. And Inoki pulled the same poo poo and basically ruled out any tours of Japan. Not that he's much more than a cult star there among the hardcores.
