I can see them being in a bit of a corner because of all the taped stuff they've already done revolving around ADR, but this is a live event so.... yeah.

Edge & Christian posted:Death Crew Council has been gone for awhile. James Storm is back to being a beer drinkin' cowboy after somehow turning into a Bray Wyatt Cult Leader and a weird Mime Mask Gang Leader over the course of the past 36 months. I thought you were joking, but nope he has actually been NWA tag champ 7 times and TNA tag champ 7 times. I'm not sure what reign you missed but that's pretty incredible. I guess if you've had almost your entire career with the same company for 15 years it's not too crazy, sort of like Billy Gunn.

They will strip him and then have a one day tournament to crown a new champion, which he will also win. It is TNA tradition that must be passed on to GFW.

During the first Ultimate X, the belt fell down twice, and the wrestlers just froze and stared at it.

My favorite TNA memory is still one of the Feast or Fired matches with the four briefcases on poles. Early on they did the lucha-trainwreck sequence where everyone just dives from the ring into the pile of people already outside, one at a time. Samoa Joe was the only person still in the ring and had an uncontested path to as many briefcases as he wanted. So he just shrugged and plowed into the pile of bodies once they all stood up without grabbing a case. He never ended up with a case that year.

Senshi (aka Low-Ki) was leaving the company for WWE. Instead of having his briefcase be opened to reveal he had been fired, they had him lose the briefcase. This is the most TNA thing when it comes to Feast or Fired.

gently caress Low-Ki. I had to carry that stupid bastard out of a USA Pro show because he was upset over what he thought was a screw job. Yes, that famous picture of him being carried out is far from the first time that has happened.

Though I can't remember if they shifted him off to a different show first or he quit so quickly that nothing had time to develop.

This was back in 2001 or 2002 in USA Pro, an indy promotion based out of Queens/Long Island. Low-Ki is extremely paranoid and pays a ridiculous amount of attention to every aspect of his booking and matches, to the point that anything fishy makes him lose his goddamn mind. He's convinced that every promoter is out to take advantage of his talent, then screw him out of the spotlight. It's not even money that he's worried about, he got paid at every show I worked. He just thinks that there are people out there that exist only to bury him. So yeah, one night he fought Balls Mahoney for a #1 contendership to the USA Pro "World" title and, even though he went over, still pitched a fit because he felt there was too much interference after the finish of the match and it robbed him of his moment of glory. He was supposed to be left laying, but he kept getting back up and screaming "This is bullshit!" at the crowd until we had to jump in and literally carry him the gently caress out. I caught a stray punch from him that hit me in the temple and I refused to go near him after that. He's a pathetic whiny poo poo and it eclipses any of the actual talent he has.

What was that Chris Hero story with Low-Ki from his shoot just before WWE? Something about Low-Ki throwing some kind of quiet tantrum in the middle of the match and trying to break Hero's nose intentionally

RealFoxy posted:What was that Chris Hero story with Low-Ki from his shoot just before WWE? Something about Low-Ki throwing some kind of quiet tantrum in the middle of the match and trying to break Hero's nose intentionally That wouldn't surprise me at all. We learned to look for the signs of him deciding "gently caress EVERYTHING!!" mid-match and knew we'd have to deal with the post-match shenanigans. For context, I was hired as a crowd plant known as "rear end in a top hat Fan" that wore a giant cow-print cowboy hat and cheered for the heels while making GBS threads on the faces. I would regularly get dragged into the ring at some point to put over faces. A perfect example is the time that I spent the entire show eating Doritos from a bag with a microphone on my chest. Finally Mikey Whipwreck dragged me out of the crowd and did a moonsault on me, but not before putting the bag of Doritos on my chest first.
