why go through a paywall for wrestling when all you need is an amateur newz site that says Source: The Wrestling Observer

SamuraiFoochs posted:So there are a bunch of full TNA DVDs on TNA's official YouTube channel that I'm pretty sure were previously behind a paywall but are not anymore. Like, they're best of comps, so they're probably pretty good. Example: The Best of Beer Money and The Motorcity Machineguns here- Haha, holy poo poo. I've only read about the dreaded red cage and haven't actually watched a match that took place within it until now. I can't make out a loving thing that's going on inside that piece of poo poo unless it's a shot from a cameraman filming through one of the holes.

Bobby Lashley won his fight, so the TNA champion was not beaten on a b-level MMA card. Also apparently the Bellator show was embarrassing, I saw Meltzer compare it to 2000 WCW so clearly the TNA stink has transferred over to legitimate sport.

Brawl 4 All was great because it showed that Bradshaw has a glass jaw.

Actually everything about Brawl for All was great, right down to how they wouldn't let Shamrock participate and made Dan Severn drop out of the ranking after he won one fight.

His opponent was a visibly overweight 8-7 journeyman who has never beat anyone with more than 1 victory in the sport, has been knocked out or submitted in all of his losses and had suffered all but two of those in the first round, and he still fought off a dozen of Lashley's submission attempts and tagged him a couple times in the second round before succumbing to a choke where it looked more like he was exhausted than in any actual danger. Lashley's 11-2 now and he still has trouble with the MMA equivalent of jobbers.

Look at the bright side, when TNA inevitably folds Lashley will have accumulated enough experience to challenge Batista.

Then I hope Batista's film career fails so we can have Lashley Vs Batista in a double knock out due to both fighters gassing in the first five minutes.

Lashley's MMA record is littered with cans. Dude fought Bob Sapp for gently caress's sake. His losses are more notable to gauge what kind of fighter he is. Lost to Chad Griggs because he got hit so hard he couldn't figure out how to walk to his corner. Lost to James Thompson because JT is a beast and doesn't give a gently caress if you broke his orbital. Thompson also outwrestled him.

True, just in general if you're pushing a guy you don't want him in a situation where he could theoretically have an off night and just get clobbered by Joe Palooka from Oxnard. You want to be able to decide exactly what happens. But there are times when it seems TNA exists to do things that no other wrestling promoter would do. Like it's some weird long form lab experiment.

People talk poo poo about Batista's opponent but he had way more experience as a .500 level fighter than Lashley's last night and that was Batista's 1st fight compared to Lashley who has fought for years. Lashley sucks.

Serious question about the Brawl 4 All: Why didn't they just kayfabe it? I know it was designed to show how Dr Death was a real life badass, but surely they could have at least told Butterbean to go half-strength and make the wrestlers look good. Instead you get a fat out of shape monster knocking your "tough guys" the gently caress right out, and grandstanding. And I agree with the poster above who said they should have pushed Butterbean to the moon over this ... have him murder some guys and then have the WWE Champ beat him in a 'wrestling' match. Everybody looks tough, Butterbean and WWe make lotsa cash. everybody is happy. But none of this has to do with TNA, so as you were I suppose.

Butterbean offered to work the fight, or at least go easy. They told him no, either because they thought Bart Gunn could legit fight Butterbean (he had been pretty dominant from what I hear in the actual tournament), or because they didn't care about Bart Gunn, it had all been a waste, and either they wanted to bury him or just create a crazy moment that went down like it did. Either way, they told Butterbean to not work it, and we got "getting Bart Gunn'd".

I want to see the parallel universe where they let Ken Shamrock participate in the Brawl 4 All, if only because he'd be guaranteed to last at least more than thirty seconds against Butterbean.

Chortles posted:Insofar as the Brawl 4 All up to the point of Bart Gunn winning, apparently WWF brass actually did buy into Dr. Death's badassery to the point where they saw no there was no need to work his fights because they honestly believed that he'd win them all. So what you're saying is that they're jabronie marks that worked themselves into a shoot by not knowing when to work a work into a work to work a shoot. Marks.
