Mitsuharu Misawa memorial wrestling topic (1962-2009)

Right. DipShit "King of the Chainsaw" McStupid dies because his jugular is severed on a piece of plate glass = Vince McMahon and John Cena defending the business on Larry King again.
 
Hitting someone with light tubes is NOT wrestling. If you think it is, well, there's no hope for you. That stuff is about 2 steps away from snuff films. It's complete and total trash. If you're a wrestling fan you should want that type of crap to disappear forever. It adds nothing positive to the business and can only cause problems much like the example myke cited.
 
I said I didn't like the shit, I only cared that the wrestler got hurt. And I was referring to how most people and the general public see it. Your opinion on what is wrestling means shit, most people consider whatever goes on in the ring to be professional wrestling. It's not "good" but it is still considered to be professional wrestling. Also quit patronizing me man. Seriously. I've seen and like whatever kind of fancy shmancy wrestling that you like.
 
I wouldn't even call Nick Gage a wrestler. I refuse to feel bad for any dumbass who legitimately injures himself taking unnecessary and foolish (and hell, probably illegal) risks. There's a reason CZW held their show at a random farm in the middle of nowhere - they found the farm from some yahoo on the CZW board who offered his place because he's a mark for the company. No legitimate venue will actually book them anymore, so they hold shows like that (literally a backyard show that they're charging for) because of no other option.
 
I don't even see why they bother setting up a ring. Why not just advertise two masochists cutting eachother with various house hold objects? BE THERE THIS SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY FOR FOR TOP NOTCH CUTTING ACTION!
 
there is absolutely no reason for it, and it happened in front of 200 people. good to know he is prolly insanely in hospital debt now to "wrestle" in front of that small of a crowd for what....MAYBE.... 500 bucks?
 
That CZW is terrible. Like whoever said earlier about it being like a snuff film, I agree. I feel dirty after watching that shit, even just the minute and 30 second youtube video.
 
After gas, and other misc costs, I'm sure the guy is looking at $10, if that.

I have no sympathy or respect for promotions like CZW or the "talent" they "employ". People might cite ECW for its barbarity, but they at least had a line.
 
This was ignored

TNA game news from the newest Observer -
Regarding the future of the video game, by terms of the sale of the company to Warner Brothers, who decided against picking up the Newcastle and San Diego studios, as well as the arcade NBA ballers game and the TNA Impact game, Midway has 60 days to find a buyer for the properties Warner Brothers didn’t pick up or the product will be dropped. The NBA game license with Midway has expired and the last game did poorly so it’s perceived as having little value. The TNA game ended up selling just under 300,000 units on all platforms. The feeling is with the economy as it is, that the odds for a buyer aren’t good. The feeling is that the wrestling genre, even though Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 sold well (way down from last year but still very good numbers), is going to be seeing tough times because THQ has decided to spend less in marketing the wrestling game and concentrate on the UFC Undisputed game, gearing up for what is expected to be a big fight with EA over the MMA video game genre.

WWE gaming news -
Jakks Pacific is attempting to renew its video game license with WWE through the end of 2014. The WWE contract with Jakks Pacific and THQ ends at the end of this year, but apparently Jakks Pacific has an option year. It had been expected WWE would put the license up to the highest bidder, as they are leaving Jakks Pacific for Mattel in the toy department. Jakks and THQ had their own issues as Jakks was against THQ taking the UFC license, seeing that as a competitor to the joint license they had with WWE. THQ has filed suit against Jakks Pacific in California Superior Court saying Jakks did not have the authority based on their joint license to renew with WWE without their consent; that THQ has no obligation to be a party to such a renewal because they didn’t agree to it; and THQ is attempting to get out of the one year non-compete in the wrestling genre when it comes to making a wrestling game, saying it’s not enforceable under California law. Jakks and THQ have asked for arbitration of their grievances. An interesting argument has been raised in that even though pro wrestling and MMA are different, that because pro wrestling in the video game is simulation of fighting and that pro wrestling in the video game world is simulation of fighting, that they are basically the same thing in the video game world, fight games based on fighting that includes, punches, kicks, wrestling and submissions. In 2007, revenue from Smackdown vs. Raw made up 25% of the total gross revenue for THQ, but the game was down 24% in sales in 2008.

And TNA-related comedy -
Notes on the 7/2 TV show. They should rename the promotion TNR (Total Nonstop Run-ins). ...Foley said he had been under stress over the last few weeks and didn’t always make decisions that made sense. Actually, they should have at least run that storyline with Jarrett or Cornette or whoever was in charge during periods when nothing was making sense. ...Angle and Foley had a discussion about the “Let’s Make a Deal” television show from the 70s, which led to a brawl. ...Another video on Sarita, using Mexican music. She’s from Canada.

Kennedy stuff -
John Laurinaitis told Kennedy this past week that in regard to his 90-day non-compete, he can do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn’t use the name Kennedy and as long as he doesn’t work for ROH or TNA. It’s still expected he’ll be with TNA when the 90-days expires in September.

MJ-related note -
Three wrestlers on Smackdown wore white gloves during Smackdown to honor Michael Jackson. R-Truth wore a single white glove. JTG wore a bedazzled white glove and threw it to the crowd before his match. Melina wore a white glove with the fingers partially cut out.

Raw thoughts -

I marked out for the Million Dollar belt appearing on TV again, and DAMN was DiBiase Sr. ever fantastic here. He put everything over and made everything he was involved in better. He should really be a manager now because he did exactly the job that a manager should do, and if his son doesn't need that help at some point, then let him give that rub to someone else. Maybe Cody - the funniest part of the show for me was their little bit in the back with Cody trying to bribe him and Ted saying "I see you've got a handful of money there...and that's not enough ". The dramatic highlight was definitely the exchange with the son and father where DiBiase Jr. accused his dad of setting him up, began yelling at him, and then in a move completely uncharacteristic of the Million Dollar Man before - he showed emotion, began to cry, and told his son that he wasn't doing that...and then his son slapped the taste out of his mouth and he cried more. So awesome.

Otherwise, the non-title tag match was fine, but not as good as last week's. Carlito shined with the post-match stuff, and if he can look that good after this turn, then he'll do okay for himself. I thought the Cena-HHH match was solid, although not up to par with their WM 22 match. It was decent TV though. What was far better was the Swagger-MVP deal, which set up a possibly excellent feud between them in the future for the U.S. title. The current U.S. title scene was shown to be exciting by the fast-paced Bourne-Kofi match, and then Show came down and reminded me that he'll definitely be the weak link in that three way at the PPV.

DiBiase Jr. vs. Orton was a great preview for a future PPV match. While it came by surprise to see it done so early on in their possible feud, I liked it. They blended pretty well together and the finish was awesome, with Orton throwing DiBiase off of Dream Street and then nailing with him an RKO. I liked the little bit with Orton hesitating before the elevated DDT...and then just spiking him with it anyway.

Quotes -
DiBiase Sr. - Cody, how ya doing buddy? State your business.
Cody - We love to have you here on Raw, you’re the original Donald Trump, YOU SHOULDA BEEN IN CONTROL THE ENTIRE TIME…
DiBiase Sr. - Get to the point…
Cody - Well…
DiBiase Sr. - I see you’ve got a handful of money…and that’s not enough by the way, but you’ve got the right idea!
Cody - Well…I think I should focus on the Night of Champions…
DiBiase - What does LEGACY MEAN?!!
Cody - It’s about multi-generational superstars…
DiBiase - IT’S ABOUT FAMILY! BLOOD’S THICKER THAN WATER, RIGHT?
Cody - Yeah!
DiBiase - And you’re the son of a plumber. Well, he was, you’re the son of a son of a plumber…
Cody - Yeah, he’s just a common man, working hard…
DiBiase - I DESPISE DUSTY RHODES! I’M THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN. I NEVER WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH A COMMON MAN AND THE FACT THAT THAT FAT, BLOATED GYRATING FOOL IS IN THE WWE HALL OF FAME IS A TRAVESTY! SO GET THIS - YOU’RE FACING MARK HENRY TONIGHT AND YOU NEED TO MARCH OUT OF THIS OFFICE, I’M GONNA PUT YOU IN POLKA DOTS JUST LIKE YOUR OLD MAN!
Cole - Why would he try to bribe the Million Dollar Man with a couple hundred bucks?
King - I don’t know.
Cole - If I’m ever guest host, you could bribe me with $10.
King - That’s why I don’t think you’ll ever be guest host.
DiBiase Sr. - Good job out there. I know you didn’t win the match, but one day you’re gonna be WWE Champion!
DiBiase Sr. - What? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? YOU SET ME UP TO FAIL! YOU PUT ME IN AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION! YOU WANTED ME TO LOSE!
DiBiase Sr. - I did not.
DiBiase - IT’S STILL ALL ABOUT YOU, ISN’T IT!? THE GREAT MILLION DOLLAR MAN! YOU CAN’T GET OVER YOURSELF! YOU CAME HERE TO STEAL MY SPOTLIGHT! THIS IS MY TIME!
DiBiase Sr. - Son…it’s not like that at all..
DiBiase - Yeah it is… (massive slap to his father’s face) Thanks a lot…DAD!

I prefer to call it "shitty garbage botched wrestling" myself. :lol:
 
That guy is a moron for doing a match like that. My philosophy is, if you're going to take a huge bump or do some crazy stuff, at least get paid for it. Don't do it in front of like 25 people. Make sure you're getting a huge paycheck. The stuff that CZW is garbage though.

Victoria is the new TNA women's champ. Pretty good match too.
 
[quote name='Sporadic']Thanks for the link but most of those seem to be dead.

Shame, I've been trying to find the Jim Cornette & Percy Pringle Vol 1 & 2 audio since hearing the first 10 minutes on YouTube[/QUOTE]

I shot you a PM yesterday.
 
This was a pretty good show in a lot of ways. They did a fantastic job building up the major matches for the PPV, although there was also a slew of other Impact-a-riffic idiocy. Homicide returning to re-win his case was absurd enough, but his return wound up being worthless since it was just filler to build up the British Invasion-3D feud. That was pretty disappointing, especially since it was a months-long layoff.

The Suicide-Tenay thing was hilarious. Tenay quoting his theme reminded me of Heston quoting "Cop Killer". The Sting-Joe in-ring segment ruled on a couple of levels. It made me want to see their match at the PPV, and made me laugh when Sting said that TNA sucks right now.

Guns-Beer! MONEY! with Black Snow on commentary was a fun little tag match. I loved Beer Money breaking the RNR Express "hip toss your partner into your own corner to make the tag" spot out of mothballs, and the two teams gelled together really well. It's a shame that this match was likely worlds better than the one that will be for the gold at the PPV. Booker, as usual, ruled.

The knockouts title stuff was pretty good. I dug Velvet sticking up for herself, and then having Angelina show that she does care about her by putting the belt on the line was a good move. I'd hate to see them break this group up. Partially due to the upskirts, yes (and tonight's twist on that with the camera man grabbing at Velvet's ass was amusing), but they really are an awesome little duo together, and breaking them up would be a mistake. Tara's BIG WIN! sure would have meant more if she'd been around long enough for the fans to care, but oh well. At least she showed a lot of emotion, even if it did end up making her face appear haggard due to the tears.

The Stevie-Abyss drugging was pretty dark, although I enjoyed seeing Stevie bitch slap Abyss. It's gonna rule when Abyss gets his revenge on him for all this shit. It's a shame Raven isn't still involved, as his little bit with Stevie FINALLY being able to control him really could've been interesting had TNA chosen to pursue it.

Morgan was more impressive here than ever before. I loved the elbow pad removal>alternating back elbows and reverse chokeslam into the corner on Daniels. Each one looked good and helped set him apart from any other big man in the company. AJ's backflip out of the chokeslam attempt ruled, too, and I liked that the Pillmanizing of Daniels' leg by Morgan helped add a vicious side to Morgan's character.

The main event three way was fine. The Stroke into the steps was something different, but the match didn't really have much of a chance to be truly great due to the stip of EY being the ref. Montreal being recreated was annoying. That shit got old in '99, TNA. It's now TEN YEARS LATER. Please stop referencing events that occurred before many present wrestling fans were even born. The show-closer with Foley being destroyed by barb wire was memorable; I just hope they go somewhere with it.

Quotes -
Foley - Life can be funny sometimes. Say when a guy gets 25 BIG ONES OVER HIS EYE and looks cool…then gets 2 in the nose and looks like an idiot. Life is about tough choices, and I just don’t think TNA is designed to have 2 separate deciders in the front office. I would like to propose to Jeff Jarrett that tonight, one of us step down from their decision-making capacity.
DW - Eventually, you’re gonna have to admit that I’m always right - and tonight, I am. I’ve said since day one that Mick and Jeff are like oil and water.
Jarrett - Mick, do you consider the things you say for even a second?
Foley - No, I was born without one of those…filtering mechanisms.
Jarrett - I understand that once you got back in the fire, you wanted to revel in every moment. It’s what we do. I’ve been there, done that. It’s in our blood. But Mick, in the process of proving that you still got it - and ya do, you became the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Now the question is should the story have stopped there? Probably so, Mick, but it didn’t. In your quest to get your rematch, you have put TNA in serious danger. You don’t have anything to myself ore these people, or Kurt Angle. Regardless of what happens at Victory Road, you will always be a true legend in this business!
DW - Laying it on a little thick, isn’t he?
Jarrett - Mick, I want you to start thinking. Thinking about the young athletes. THE FUTURE! We can build this company to heights we never dreamed could happen - WE GOTTA DO IT TOGETHER! It was our goal to just do that. If MEM walks away with all the belts, I’m not sure that’s a mountain we can climb, BUT WE CAN FIX IT! TOGETHER!
Foley - Hold on. Jeff, I appreciate what you’re saying. Looking back, when I said I was gonna defend it one time a year, that was pretty stupid of me. I was swearing vengeeance over you for crashing that guitar over my skull! My children haven’t been in the head as much as I have, and my 17 year old said haven’t you hit him 6 or 7 times, and by my mathematical equations, we’re even steven! I may not have anything to prove to you, Kurt Angle or the fans, but I need to prove something to myself! I need to prove that world title slug over my shoulder wasn’t a fluke and I NEED TO DO IT AGAINST THE GREATEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD TODAY! KURT ANGLE! I CAN FEEL THE BELT ON MY SHOULDER! I MISS IT! I WANT IT BACK! Now I’m gonna do it for the right reasons! FOR YOU, ALL THE GUYS WHO MADE TNA WHAT IT IS TODAY! Maybe tonight, we can make a main event for Impact. Maybe Kurt could take on Jeff Jarrett tonight on Impact! Non-title of course.
DW - Of course…
Jarrett - I’m liking this, are you people liking this?! HOLD ON, I’m gonna steal a page out of your playbook. I think I’m gonna tweak this match just a little bit. You’re proposing me against Angle? Why it don’t we make it a three-way dance. Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle vs. Mick Foley. WHY DON’T YOU TWEAK ON THAT!
Foley - if we stomp a…MUDHOLE in him and walk it dry, people would think we’re in cahoots, so let’s let Kurt assign a special ref.
Jarett - Okay, he can name his ref. But it cannot be any member of the Mafia, and it cannot be Matt Morgan!
Foley - It sounds like we’ve booked ourselves one heck of a main event! HAVE WE NOT! IN A SHOW OF UNITY, I’M GONNA CALL FOR YOUR MUSIC!
Tenay - IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE ON THE SAME PAGE!
DW - Maybe to the untrained eye!
Brutus - As a unit, we’re the best you’ve ever seen! We don’t want to pander to American wrestling fans like Blubber Ray and Devon Custard!
Tenay - Now, THE BRITISH INVASION IS GONNA HAVE A MATCH FOR A CASE THAT THEY STOLE FROM LAX!
Tenay - HOW ABOUT THIS RETURN!? HERNANDEZ IS OUT DUE TO A NECK SURGERY, AND HOMICIDE LEFT DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS RELATED TO THE PASSING OF HIS FATHER!
Tenay - Homicide wearing the colors of the Dominican Republic on his head band - and that’s a tribute to his father!
Tenay - JUSTICE IS SERVED BECAUSE HOMICIDE WON THE CASE WITH THE TITLE SHOT THAT HE EARNED BEFORE!
Tenay - Suicide, we don’t know much about you. All we know is that you wrote the lyrics to your theme. It’s obvious that you’re a deep and troubled soul! How does Suicide come alive!?
Suicide - I WAS DEAD. I CHOOSE TO SEE THE LIGHT. I CHOOSE TO COME ALIVE. I AM THE DARK SAVIOR. SUICIDE DOES NOT REPRESENT THE END. SUICIDE REPRESENTS THE BEGINNING!
Tenay - I October of 2008, the first all FORMER WORLD CHAMPION FACTION WAS FORMED!
Tenay - When you are one of the founders of a group, you’d expect to be in on the decision-making process! BUT STING WASN’T WHEN JOE JOINED THE MAFIA!
Sting - Hey Kurt, I know you’re watching back there… I GOTCHER BELT! IF YOU WANT IT, COME AND GET IT. In the meantime, I wanna talk with Joe! COME ON OUT, JOE! (Joe comes on out)
Tenay - The TNA Originals and the fans were insulted by Joe taking the payday!
DW - Sometimes the fans just can’t see the forest for the trees. The Mafia is so much more stronger now!
Sting - You are every reason why wrestling is as bad as it is right now; why this company is as bad as it is right now. It’s because of you that the Mafia created their agenda to begin with. You want everything, but you’re not willing to work for it. And you took the payoff…At my expense. Which was your mistake. I don’t need four guys behind me to fight this fight - I’ll fight it by myself until are made right. Because things are wrong BECAUSE YOU PISSED ME OFF BAD, JOE! YOU’RE FINALLY GONNA LOOK, ME IN THE FACE!? WHAT’S STOPPING YOU!? OR WHO IS STOPPING YOU!?
Joe - Fortunately for you, I’ve been instructed to keep my temper. Don’t worry, Stinger, your time will come.
Sting - Instructed by who? Who’s in your ear? You’re not capable of doing this on your own, so I wanna know who is the great and powerful Oz behind the curtain, Joe!?
Joe - I’m gonna say this one last time. You will find out come Victory Road.
Sting - No Joe, I’m gonna find out tonight and I’m gonna find him pull him out of the darkness, tear him apart, then feed him to them (the fans) right there!
Tenay - Gentlemen, welcome to the broadcast table.
DW - This si the best night of your life - you got to sit with the best tag wrestlers ever.
Steiner - We don’t need you to tell us how great we are. Right, Book?
Book - YEAH! YOU LOOKING AT NEW TAG CHAMPS RIGHT HERE! Guns weigh about 180 pounds combined.
Steiner - They might beat a good small man, but they’ll never beat a good big man.
(as Storm parks the Boozer Cruiser in front of them)Steiner - Have I ever told you I don’t like rednecks?
Steiner - There’s 2 things I don’t - rednecks and white trash. And they’re both of them.
Book - BOTE OF DEM RIGHT DERE!
Book - SABIIINNN AND SHEEEEELLLEEEYYYY! IT’S GONNA BE EXCITTTTTINNNGGGGGGG!
Tenay - I love it when Booker joins us on commentary, it’s almost like a night off for me.
DW - That’s Mr. Black Snow to you.
(after blocking an arm drag)Storm - YOU SUCK! (fans then chant you suck)
Booker - HE GAVE HIS OWN PARTNER A HIP TOSS! HE’S AS DUMB AS HE LOOKS!
Tenay - No he’s not - he did it to get the tag!
DW - WHAT HE’S SAYING IS THAT YOU CAN HURT YOUR PARTNER WITH A HIP TOSS!
(after a two count from the Guns)Book - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Steiner - THESE TAG TEAMS ARE OURS!
Angelina - I’m gonna call PETA ON HER!
Velvet - THE SPIDER WAS ON ME! IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT ANGELINA! WHAT YOU DID TO ME WAS UNACCEPTABLE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT!?? If you don’t have my back out there, we’re done! I knew the spider crawled up her butt last week - I DIDN’T KNOW IT DIED UP THERE!
DW - HEY JERK, THAT’S MY BUTT! GET YOUR HAND OFF THAT! HE SHOULD BE SUED FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT!
(after a clip airs of everyone being afraid of the tarantula)DW - I thought Kong was gonna pee her pants last week!
DW - When Velvet and I were texting last night going over strategy, she said she’ll clothesline her and choke her.
Tenay - You and Velvet texting? In the words of Steven Tyler, dream on, Don.
Tenay - ANGELINA WAS GONNA HIT TARA WITH THE BELT!
DW - OH SO NOW YOU’RE A MIND READER!
Angelina - DON’T YOU DO THAT TO VELVET AGAIN!
DW - Way to have her back!
Tenay - WHEN WE GET BACK, ANGELINA DEFENDS THE KNOCKOUTS TITLE AGAINST TARA!
DW - THAT’S NOT LEGAL!
Tenay - IT’S UNSCHEDULED AND IMPROMPTU! ANGELINA TAKES ON TARA!
DW - OH THIS IS BULLCRAP, RUDY CHARLES! TARA CAN BRING A TARANTULA HERE, BUT MADISON CAN’T GRAB TARA’S FOOT!?
DW - I think a fan helped Tara get her foot out of the rail - you’re not supposed to touch a wrestler ever. They should throw him out, too!
DW - BOTOX INJECTION FOR THE WIN!
DW - If Rudy Charles would make a three count the way you’re supposed to, this would be over by now!
DW - I thought Sting was the only thief In the building, but TARA JUST STOLE THE KNOCKOUTS TITLE!
DW - EITHER WE HAVE A TITLE MATCH OR MY SPIDER BITES AND MAYBE KILLS YOU! Yeah, that’s right…
Tara - There was a point in my career where I thought I would never have happiness. I LOVE THE TNA FAMILY! THANK YOU, LAUREN! THANK YOU, POISON! WE DID IT, BABY!
Tenay - LISTEN TO THIS LINEUP FOR VICTORY!
DW - IT’S JENNA VERSUS SHARMELL!
Tenay - AND MATT MORGAN AGAINST DANIELS!

I need you to focus! (bitch slap) GET UP HERE! YOU CAN FEEL ALL THAT, HUH! YOU LOOK PARCHED, WOULD YOU LIKE ANOTHER GLASS OF WATER! (he then breaks the glass over Abyss’ head)
Tenay - WHATEVER THEY PUT IN HIS DRINK TURNED THE MONSTER INTO JELLO!
DW - Sometimes it takes a neurotoxin to get someone’s attention!
DW - Kevin Nash is the most honest person in TNA. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!
Tenay - Matt Morgan sees numbers followed by a lot of zeroes!
(after a corner elbow to AJ)Nash - WOOHOOO!
Tenay - This is Nash’s specialty - RAPID-FIRE KNEES IN THE CORNER!
DW - And an elbow. If one wasn’t enough, HERE’S ANOTHER ONE!
Tenay - I HAVE JUST BEEN TOLD THAT AJ TOOK DANIELS TO THE HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER EXAMINATION OF HIS LEG!
DW - ANGLE IS TAKING IT TO THE GUITAR MAN, THE TNA FOUNDER. JEFF JARRETT. KING OF THE MOUNTAIN, DOUBLE J!
Foley - NO NO NO!
EY - CALL IT!

according to jim ross, the jericho vs. mysterio intercontinental title match is supposed to be spectacular. i can't wait for it. these two have never let me down.
 
Nash is a brilliant man who makes a lot of great points, but is laughably overboard with his praise for the "nuances" of TNA's writing/Vince Russo.

Kevin Nash was recently interviewed by Main Event Radio on CJLO 1690AM in Montreal and spoke at-length on several topics for over 35 minutes. Here are some highlights:

On Scott Hall: "Scott is Scott. He’s always going to have his demons but he has his good days and his bad days. I’ve told him a hundred times that when your gear is basically posing shorts; he’s basically worked in underwear that it’s time to switch your gear because it’s so hard at 50 years old to keep yourself in the kind of shape you need to pull off that look. He was having a good time with the hockey jersey on and all of a sudden he put his tights on and said oh God, I’m not gonna do that. I told him to switch his gear up - put on a singlet like I did. He was the guy who told me when I first broke in to never make it about your body, to make it about your character because your character will never die. Your body goes but the character stays alive. That’s why I let my hair go gray. I want people to say “I remember him 20 years ago – I saw him in an opening match in Montreal.” Nobody’s really aged in this business, everybody dye’s their hair and I wanted to be that guy who aged."

On TNA’s progress: "It’s exciting; it’s kind of a genesis – it’s a new company. I think in a couple of years if things continue to go the way they are we’ll start getting a 2.0-2.2 rating. I think we are competition right now. […] But you look at the WWWF and its seven-year anniversary and look at the comparisons. Their TV tapings were done from Madison Square Garden. You look at the growth patterns of the two companies. When you’re Kia Motors it’s hard to go up against GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota but there’s a lot of Kia’s on the road. And I think it has caught fire.

The thing that makes me the happiest is that I was at an autograph signing last week in Detroit. There were guys that had Vinnie Vegas pictures, Diesel pictures, Big Sexy pictures, and then there were 7 and 8 and 9 year old boys who had Kevin Nash grey-haired TNA pictures. I did it – this is the third generation of kids that I’ve been able to been a part of their lives. The thing that really moves you that you don’t realize when you first get in the business – after you’ve been in it for 20 years and a kid comes up to you and hands you a Polaroid and it’s me with black hair with a mullet back in the early Diesel days; and he says do you know who that kid is that you’re holding? I look at the picture and I’m holding a little baby in my hands. He then said – “that’s me.” Not only have you been doing this a really long time because you’re talking to a 19 year old kid but it’s the fact that he kept that for 19 years. That’s what kind of moves you. It mean’t something to him. To be a part of the industry; it’s just a blast."

On what talent will take over TNA when he retires: "I think that from the nucleus that we have right now – Storm and Roode are really good. I think Roode’s going to be a babyface in his career. I think that that’s where he’s going to become a star. I’ve worked heel against him on a couple of indy shows just to see if he could work face. He really has great fire and makes an amazing comeback. He makes a comeback like guys used to make comebacks like you don’t see. As long you feed him he will make a comeback. He’s a not a three-move let’s go home kind of guy. I think he’s amazing."

AJ [Styles] – once his mic skills get better, which I think they’ve improved immensely. He has that intangible that Shawn Michaels had. He’s electric and you kind of have to just be there for him. He can create so much movement around you that you can just basically, you know – he just uses you as a prop. He really is phenomenal.

I think [Samoa] Joe is going to come into his own. They’ve moved him around into some different places but I think that the thing about him is that he’s not the quintessential wrestling guy. He’s very different but his uniqueness makes him come across. I wrestle him often - it’s not a night in the park. He’s very physical, the things he does to you hurt, and I think all those things add to his believability.

I think Matt Morgan is a very talented big guy. He’s still at that stage in his career that he wants to show everybody how athletic he can be instead of just working like a big man…Just those four guys alone are a good nucleus to move forward. You’ve also got the Black Machismo. The Motor City Machine Guns – I watched them have a match in Tokyo and it was off the chart. They can both talk, they’ve funny, they’re current, they’re really hip guys, and chicks dig ‘em. I’ve always said that if you want to find the intangible in a wrestler and you want to know if you can make money off them – chicks have got to want to be with him and guys want to be him. And if they don’t have those two qualities – if guys don’t want to be you and girls don’t want to be with you – then you’re not going to get over. I don’t care what you do. […] I think guys look at me and say hell I wouldn’t mind being in that big 6’10 body for a couple of days and smack somebody around. And I’ve been very successful in my entire life…I’ve a beautiful wife and I had a slew of beautiful girlfriends behind her. I’ve never not had a beautiful women in my life.

On Vince Russo: "I’ve been a fan of his since Day One. Always have been. There’s a lot of people who don’t like his style of booking. But it’s just like people who watch a movie like Closer with Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman and say “I don’t really like the movie”. And then I say “Did you not like the movie or did you not get it?”. I think he writes smart TV and you have to pay attention. There’s a lot of nuisances that can make sense that kind of connect the dots if you don’t really pay close attention they don’t make sense to you. For me the show Damages on F/X is one of the smartest written shows because you can’t be on the phone and watch that show. You have to commit yourself to watching the show – and you have to do that with us. If you’re going to criticize Russo and fast-forward or TiVo the show, you won’t get the nuisances and what he’s trying to accomplish. He doesn’t sit down and write a two-hour show and expect you not to watch the pre-tapes and say you don’t understand it and say the writing is bad. Try watching a movie with no sound. That’s the beauty of living in the United States or Canada – we have those rights to criticize. I don’t really care if you like my work, don’t like my work, like me, don’t like me; as long as you’re watching I’m happy."

Nash is a pretty funny guy. I saw this interview with him where he was talking about Flair (I guess Flair had said some negative stuff about him). Nash said something along the lines of "Yeah he likes to boast about being a 16 time world champion but Ric you didn't actually beat anyone for those belts. It's pro wrestling". I thought that was hilarious.
 
[quote name='JaytheGamefan']This was a pretty good show in a lot of ways. They did a fantastic job building up the major matches for the PPV, although there was also a slew of other Impact-a-riffic idiocy. Homicide returning to re-win his case was absurd enough, but his return wound up being worthless since it was just filler to build up the British Invasion-3D feud. That was pretty disappointing, especially since it was a months-long layoff.

The Suicide-Tenay thing was hilarious. Tenay quoting his theme reminded me of Heston quoting "Cop Killer". The Sting-Joe in-ring segment ruled on a couple of levels. It made me want to see their match at the PPV, and made me laugh when Sting said that TNA sucks right now.

Guns-Beer! MONEY! with Black Snow on commentary was a fun little tag match. I loved Beer Money breaking the RNR Express "hip toss your partner into your own corner to make the tag" spot out of mothballs, and the two teams gelled together really well. It's a shame that this match was likely worlds better than the one that will be for the gold at the PPV. Booker, as usual, ruled.

The knockouts title stuff was pretty good. I dug Velvet sticking up for herself, and then having Angelina show that she does care about her by putting the belt on the line was a good move. I'd hate to see them break this group up. Partially due to the upskirts, yes (and tonight's twist on that with the camera man grabbing at Velvet's ass was amusing), but they really are an awesome little duo together, and breaking them up would be a mistake. Tara's BIG WIN! sure would have meant more if she'd been around long enough for the fans to care, but oh well. At least she showed a lot of emotion, even if it did end up making her face appear haggard due to the tears.

The Stevie-Abyss drugging was pretty dark, although I enjoyed seeing Stevie bitch slap Abyss. It's gonna rule when Abyss gets his revenge on him for all this shit. It's a shame Raven isn't still involved, as his little bit with Stevie FINALLY being able to control him really could've been interesting had TNA chosen to pursue it.

Morgan was more impressive here than ever before. I loved the elbow pad removal>alternating back elbows and reverse chokeslam into the corner on Daniels. Each one looked good and helped set him apart from any other big man in the company. AJ's backflip out of the chokeslam attempt ruled, too, and I liked that the Pillmanizing of Daniels' leg by Morgan helped add a vicious side to Morgan's character.

The main event three way was fine. The Stroke into the steps was something different, but the match didn't really have much of a chance to be truly great due to the stip of EY being the ref. Montreal being recreated was annoying. That shit got old in '99, TNA. It's now TEN YEARS LATER. Please stop referencing events that occurred before many present wrestling fans were even born. The show-closer with Foley being destroyed by barb wire was memorable; I just hope they go somewhere with it.

Quotes -
Foley - Life can be funny sometimes. Say when a guy gets 25 BIG ONES OVER HIS EYE and looks cool…then gets 2 in the nose and looks like an idiot. Life is about tough choices, and I just don’t think TNA is designed to have 2 separate deciders in the front office. I would like to propose to Jeff Jarrett that tonight, one of us step down from their decision-making capacity.
DW - Eventually, you’re gonna have to admit that I’m always right - and tonight, I am. I’ve said since day one that Mick and Jeff are like oil and water.
Jarrett - Mick, do you consider the things you say for even a second?
Foley - No, I was born without one of those…filtering mechanisms.
Jarrett - I understand that once you got back in the fire, you wanted to revel in every moment. It’s what we do. I’ve been there, done that. It’s in our blood. But Mick, in the process of proving that you still got it - and ya do, you became the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Now the question is should the story have stopped there? Probably so, Mick, but it didn’t. In your quest to get your rematch, you have put TNA in serious danger. You don’t have anything to myself ore these people, or Kurt Angle. Regardless of what happens at Victory Road, you will always be a true legend in this business!
DW - Laying it on a little thick, isn’t he?
Jarrett - Mick, I want you to start thinking. Thinking about the young athletes. THE FUTURE! We can build this company to heights we never dreamed could happen - WE GOTTA DO IT TOGETHER! It was our goal to just do that. If MEM walks away with all the belts, I’m not sure that’s a mountain we can climb, BUT WE CAN FIX IT! TOGETHER!
Foley - Hold on. Jeff, I appreciate what you’re saying. Looking back, when I said I was gonna defend it one time a year, that was pretty stupid of me. I was swearing vengeeance over you for crashing that guitar over my skull! My children haven’t been in the head as much as I have, and my 17 year old said haven’t you hit him 6 or 7 times, and by my mathematical equations, we’re even steven! I may not have anything to prove to you, Kurt Angle or the fans, but I need to prove something to myself! I need to prove that world title slug over my shoulder wasn’t a fluke and I NEED TO DO IT AGAINST THE GREATEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD TODAY! KURT ANGLE! I CAN FEEL THE BELT ON MY SHOULDER! I MISS IT! I WANT IT BACK! Now I’m gonna do it for the right reasons! FOR YOU, ALL THE GUYS WHO MADE TNA WHAT IT IS TODAY! Maybe tonight, we can make a main event for Impact. Maybe Kurt could take on Jeff Jarrett tonight on Impact! Non-title of course.
DW - Of course…
Jarrett - I’m liking this, are you people liking this?! HOLD ON, I’m gonna steal a page out of your playbook. I think I’m gonna tweak this match just a little bit. You’re proposing me against Angle? Why it don’t we make it a three-way dance. Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle vs. Mick Foley. WHY DON’T YOU TWEAK ON THAT!
Foley - if we stomp a…MUDHOLE in him and walk it dry, people would think we’re in cahoots, so let’s let Kurt assign a special ref.
Jarett - Okay, he can name his ref. But it cannot be any member of the Mafia, and it cannot be Matt Morgan!
Foley - It sounds like we’ve booked ourselves one heck of a main event! HAVE WE NOT! IN A SHOW OF UNITY, I’M GONNA CALL FOR YOUR MUSIC!
Tenay - IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE ON THE SAME PAGE!
DW - Maybe to the untrained eye!
Brutus - As a unit, we’re the best you’ve ever seen! We don’t want to pander to American wrestling fans like Blubber Ray and Devon Custard!
Tenay - Now, THE BRITISH INVASION IS GONNA HAVE A MATCH FOR A CASE THAT THEY STOLE FROM LAX!
Tenay - HOW ABOUT THIS RETURN!? HERNANDEZ IS OUT DUE TO A NECK SURGERY, AND HOMICIDE LEFT DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS RELATED TO THE PASSING OF HIS FATHER!
Tenay - Homicide wearing the colors of the Dominican Republic on his head band - and that’s a tribute to his father!
Tenay - JUSTICE IS SERVED BECAUSE HOMICIDE WON THE CASE WITH THE TITLE SHOT THAT HE EARNED BEFORE!
Tenay - Suicide, we don’t know much about you. All we know is that you wrote the lyrics to your theme. It’s obvious that you’re a deep and troubled soul! How does Suicide come alive!?
Suicide - I WAS DEAD. I CHOOSE TO SEE THE LIGHT. I CHOOSE TO COME ALIVE. I AM THE DARK SAVIOR. SUICIDE DOES NOT REPRESENT THE END. SUICIDE REPRESENTS THE BEGINNING!
Tenay - I October of 2008, the first all FORMER WORLD CHAMPION FACTION WAS FORMED!
Tenay - When you are one of the founders of a group, you’d expect to be in on the decision-making process! BUT STING WASN’T WHEN JOE JOINED THE MAFIA!
Sting - Hey Kurt, I know you’re watching back there… I GOTCHER BELT! IF YOU WANT IT, COME AND GET IT. In the meantime, I wanna talk with Joe! COME ON OUT, JOE! (Joe comes on out)
Tenay - The TNA Originals and the fans were insulted by Joe taking the payday!
DW - Sometimes the fans just can’t see the forest for the trees. The Mafia is so much more stronger now!
Sting - You are every reason why wrestling is as bad as it is right now; why this company is as bad as it is right now. It’s because of you that the Mafia created their agenda to begin with. You want everything, but you’re not willing to work for it. And you took the payoff…At my expense. Which was your mistake. I don’t need four guys behind me to fight this fight - I’ll fight it by myself until are made right. Because things are wrong BECAUSE YOU PISSED ME OFF BAD, JOE! YOU’RE FINALLY GONNA LOOK, ME IN THE FACE!? WHAT’S STOPPING YOU!? OR WHO IS STOPPING YOU!?
Joe - Fortunately for you, I’ve been instructed to keep my temper. Don’t worry, Stinger, your time will come.
Sting - Instructed by who? Who’s in your ear? You’re not capable of doing this on your own, so I wanna know who is the great and powerful Oz behind the curtain, Joe!?
Joe - I’m gonna say this one last time. You will find out come Victory Road.
Sting - No Joe, I’m gonna find out tonight and I’m gonna find him pull him out of the darkness, tear him apart, then feed him to them (the fans) right there!
Tenay - Gentlemen, welcome to the broadcast table.
DW - This si the best night of your life - you got to sit with the best tag wrestlers ever.
Steiner - We don’t need you to tell us how great we are. Right, Book?
Book - YEAH! YOU LOOKING AT NEW TAG CHAMPS RIGHT HERE! Guns weigh about 180 pounds combined.
Steiner - They might beat a good small man, but they’ll never beat a good big man.
(as Storm parks the Boozer Cruiser in front of them)Steiner - Have I ever told you I don’t like rednecks?
Steiner - There’s 2 things I don’t - rednecks and white trash. And they’re both of them.
Book - BOTE OF DEM RIGHT DERE!
Book - SABIIINNN AND SHEEEEELLLEEEYYYY! IT’S GONNA BE EXCITTTTTINNNGGGGGGG!
Tenay - I love it when Booker joins us on commentary, it’s almost like a night off for me.
DW - That’s Mr. Black Snow to you.
(after blocking an arm drag)Storm - YOU SUCK! (fans then chant you suck)
Booker - HE GAVE HIS OWN PARTNER A HIP TOSS! HE’S AS DUMB AS HE LOOKS!
Tenay - No he’s not - he did it to get the tag!
DW - WHAT HE’S SAYING IS THAT YOU CAN HURT YOUR PARTNER WITH A HIP TOSS!
(after a two count from the Guns)Book - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Steiner - THESE TAG TEAMS ARE OURS!
Angelina - I’m gonna call PETA ON HER!
Velvet - THE SPIDER WAS ON ME! IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT ANGELINA! WHAT YOU DID TO ME WAS UNACCEPTABLE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT!?? If you don’t have my back out there, we’re done! I knew the spider crawled up her butt last week - I DIDN’T KNOW IT DIED UP THERE!
DW - HEY JERK, THAT’S MY BUTT! GET YOUR HAND OFF THAT! HE SHOULD BE SUED FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT!
(after a clip airs of everyone being afraid of the tarantula)DW - I thought Kong was gonna pee her pants last week!
DW - When Velvet and I were texting last night going over strategy, she said she’ll clothesline her and choke her.
Tenay - You and Velvet texting? In the words of Steven Tyler, dream on, Don.
Tenay - ANGELINA WAS GONNA HIT TARA WITH THE BELT!
DW - OH SO NOW YOU’RE A MIND READER!
Angelina - DON’T YOU DO THAT TO VELVET AGAIN!
DW - Way to have her back!
Tenay - WHEN WE GET BACK, ANGELINA DEFENDS THE KNOCKOUTS TITLE AGAINST TARA!
DW - THAT’S NOT LEGAL!
Tenay - IT’S UNSCHEDULED AND IMPROMPTU! ANGELINA TAKES ON TARA!
DW - OH THIS IS BULLCRAP, RUDY CHARLES! TARA CAN BRING A TARANTULA HERE, BUT MADISON CAN’T GRAB TARA’S FOOT!?
DW - I think a fan helped Tara get her foot out of the rail - you’re not supposed to touch a wrestler ever. They should throw him out, too!
DW - BOTOX INJECTION FOR THE WIN!
DW - If Rudy Charles would make a three count the way you’re supposed to, this would be over by now!
DW - I thought Sting was the only thief In the building, but TARA JUST STOLE THE KNOCKOUTS TITLE!
DW - EITHER WE HAVE A TITLE MATCH OR MY SPIDER BITES AND MAYBE KILLS YOU! Yeah, that’s right…
Tara - There was a point in my career where I thought I would never have happiness. I LOVE THE TNA FAMILY! THANK YOU, LAUREN! THANK YOU, POISON! WE DID IT, BABY!
Tenay - LISTEN TO THIS LINEUP FOR VICTORY!
DW - IT’S JENNA VERSUS SHARMELL!
Tenay - AND MATT MORGAN AGAINST DANIELS!
Stevie - THANKS FOR COMING, CHRIS!
Abyss - YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU SON OF A BITCH!
Stevie - It wasn’t just water, Chris. It was a drug, a paralytic. You can breathe, but you can’t move a muscle in your body. You can’t even talk. Yeah. You know what you can feel? (SLAP!) I need you to focus! (bitch slap) GET UP HERE! YOU CAN FEEL ALL THAT, HUH! YOU LOOK PARCHED, WOULD YOU LIKE ANOTHER GLASS OF WATER! (he then breaks the glass over Abyss’ head)
Tenay - WHATEVER THEY PUT IN HIS DRINK TURNED THE MONSTER INTO JELLO!
DW - Sometimes it takes a neurotoxin to get someone’s attention!
DW - Kevin Nash is the most honest person in TNA. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!
Tenay - Matt Morgan sees numbers followed by a lot of zeroes!
(after a corner elbow to AJ)Nash - WOOHOOO!
Tenay - This is Nash’s specialty - RAPID-FIRE KNEES IN THE CORNER!
DW - And an elbow. If one wasn’t enough, HERE’S ANOTHER ONE!
Tenay - I HAVE JUST BEEN TOLD THAT AJ TOOK DANIELS TO THE HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER EXAMINATION OF HIS LEG!
DW - ANGLE IS TAKING IT TO THE GUITAR MAN, THE TNA FOUNDER. JEFF JARRETT. KING OF THE MOUNTAIN, DOUBLE J!
Foley - NO NO NO!
EY - CALL IT!
Tenay - HE SAID NO NO NO, WHAT IS ERIC YOUNG DOING CALLING FOR THE BELL!? THIS IS RIDICULOUS! HE SAID NO NO NO! EVERYONE HEARD IT!
DW - I heard no more! I think he was just trying to protect a fellow wrestler.

WTF is going on with those images? The Anti-sec movement?
 
That was quite the awesome show right there. Kane-Jeff featured some good mic work from Jeff, and the whole match was pretty good. J.R. comparing Kane to wrestlers from the 1900s crushing sacks of wheat with their legs with a bodyscissors was something else, and I loved the ending, with Punk coming out with a huge shit-eating grin, leading to a rarely seen-on-TV chokeslam off the top for a win. Awesome stuff.

Word Up was once again highlighted by Eve, who is incredibly hot, and has some good chemistry with Cryme Tyme. Jeezy mentioning that he's not only got a Sega Genesis, but has TWO CONTROLLERS FOR IT for his big party ruled. I'm not sure what this is all leading to, probably nothing for him, but I enjoyed this wackiness. Ditto for the R-Truth thing, which was...I'm not quite sure, but I enjoyed it. The visual of him with the wacky teeth, and trying to slink his way up the steps amused me.

Morrison/T'Lo's backstage bit was amusing, but definitely gained a lot with Ziggler and Maria fucking in the closet. That was...surprising to see in the new-age WWE, but good. Ziggler can now claim to back up the ladies' man schtick and Maria looked hotter than usual in this segment.

Ziggler vs. Morrison was easily Dolph's best match yet. Everything each man did looked good, and Dolph's reverse powerslam looked great. When I was watching this, I had a feeling that I was watching two top-tier guys in the making right before my eyes, and it was a good feeling. WWE's got something with each of them, and they seem to know it AND want to capitalize on it.

The women's match...happened. The post-match brawl between Melina and Michelle was good. However, I still see no point in two women's titles. Punk's heel straight edge promo was my favorite promos he's cut in WWE. It was full of great lines and a lot of truth - perfect for the justifiable heel turn. The Khali match was just a bad idea. Punk was shown beaten at the end of it, then left, and then we got a staredown with Kane and Khali that seemed to go on forever. There's no way they can top their prior feud that involved Kane DRAGGING MEN WITH A GIANT HOOK, so I'd like to see them just stop this feud right now and have Khali go back to doing nothing in the ring. He's good at that.

The Hart Dynasty vs. Cryme Tyme was good while it lasted. David Hart Smith's tights looked exactly like Batista old stuff from '03, only with a heavy pink and black trim motif. That look really doesn't work well for him. It works for Kidd, and Natalya looks hot with it on, but doesn't fit him in the slightest.

Rey vs. Jericho brought the awesome. I thought this was even better than their PPV match, with Rey busting out an outside in-seated dropkick to Jericho that ruled, and Jericho's irish whip of Rey INTO THE RINGPOST looked sick. I hope Yuke's figures out a way to do that in a game, because that's something I want to do in one like now. Jericho using the middle rope strand to do a flying knee drop was something I'd never seen done before - I dug that. The slipping 619 spot was also great, and man did that landing look like it sucked for Rey. The toss from Jericho of Rey to the floor leading to Rey flipping out was a great spot too - it reminded me of the bump Umaga took through the ropes at WM 23, but more graceful-looking. The codebreaker counter not looking perfect was the only thing that was "off" about the match, and even that kinda worked as a version of the big gutbuster Noble used to do. Rey won in dramatic fashion, and I loved that Dolph came down and beat him up. Not only did it set up a possible IC title feud, but also established him as an ally of Jericho and Edge, giving them an easy way to keep the momentum rolling for both Jericho and Dolph. Very efficient booking in this match. Impressive stuff.

VINTAGE 1900S!










Quotes -
Grisham - Perhaps JEFF HARDY’S EYE INJURY IS SERIOUS! HE’S GOT AN EYE PATCH!
J.R. - I’m not sure what to think about the enigmatic Jeffrey “hero” Hardy.
Jeff - Last week, in the middle of my tag team match, TRAGEDY STRUCK! I don’t know what happened - it was like my eye was on fire all of a sudden. What hurt the worst was that Punk didn’t come by after the match to see if I was okay. It’s almost as if he thinks I’m making this up - unlike him, I don’t make up injuries. I don’t kick refs in the back, and unlike him, I DON’T FORFEIT MATCHES! MY EYE INJURY IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM!
J.R. - It seems like Jeff thinks that Punk is feigning his eye injury - whether that be true or not, he has to face Kane.
Grisham - Hardly, Hardy, rather, has been relentless since the opening bell.
J.R. - MODIFIED BEARHUG BY KANE!
Grisham - Hardy always loves to go skyward!
(during a Kane body scissors)J.R. - In the early 1900s, the wrestlers trained with the bodyscissors on bags of wheat. THEY’D BREAK BAGS OF WHEAT WITH THEIR LEGDS! Kane would’ve fit right in there.
Grisham - Kane goes somewhere he doesn’t rarely go - the top rope!
(Jeff does a decade-old Twist of Fate)Grisham - INNOVATIVE OFFENSE!
Jesee - IT’S YA BOY! JEEZY!
Shad - WHY!?
(after being trapped by Eve)Jesse - COME ON! I GOT A SEGA GENESIS! AND TWO CONTROLLERS THIS TIME!
(after Ziggler steps out of the closet)Morrison - It’s about time you came out of the closet, kid. (then Maria comes out after him)
Grisham - What does she see in this guy? HELP ME!
J.R. - I think that he’s outpunted his coverage when it comes to Maria.
Grisham - Maybe she likes winners - he’s got three wins over Khali and one over R-Truth!
Grisham - Morrison loves the spotlight - he’s a former film student!
J.R. - 12 Rounds…I have that in my DVD collection right next to John Wayne.
Grisham - Is that your first color movie?
J.R. - No, Todd!
Ziggler - GET HIM OFF ME! (Morrison gives him a noogie)
Ziggler - YOU WISH YOU LOOKED LIKE ME!
J.R. - I wonder how many mirrors Ziggler has in his home? Hundreds I would suggest. (Ziggler then spins Morrison around next to the ropes and kicks him in the head)
J.R. - These young men reminds me of Mr. Perfect and “Ravishing” Rick Rude. Morrison has that little something extra.
Grisham - Maybe they’re GOING STEADY, J.R.
J.R. - I think she can do better, but that’s one man’s opinion!
J.R. - Ziggler seems uncomfortably obsessed with Morrison’s appearance and his hair.
Grisham - Maybe he has OCD. He’s obsessed with his appearance, winning, introducing himself to everyone. He carries hand sanitizer everywhere he goes.
J.R. - I’ve only met him 8 times today.
Gresham - THE SEQUIN TIGHTS OF JOHN MORRISON WERE GRABBED AND PULLED!
R-Truth - My gobment name is Pretty Ricky!
Grisham - What’s your government name, J.R.??
J.R. - JAMES WILLIAMS, PERVEAYOR OF BAR-B-Q!
J.R. - Todd, what three words would you use to describe a WWE diva?
Grisham - Smart, sexy, and powerful.
J.R. - Ditto.
J.R. - Eve has been spending time training on the mat in various disciplines - including jiu-jitsu and kickboxing!
J.R. - Michelle McCool showing her nasty side from behind!
Punk - YOU’RE THE ONE WHO INJURED MY EYE IN THE FIRST PLACE. As far as what you said about me making it up - coming out with an eye patch…I wanna show you something, Jeff. This is palimony b-sulfate. The only way you obtain this is with a prescription. Now I know you know a thing or two about prescription medications, but I bet you don’t know you need a doctor’s prescription to legally obtain them. If you wanna imitate me, try living a clean lifestyle. A straight edge lifestyle. Jeff, you have two strikes. I have ZERO! Know how many times I’ve been suspended? ZERO! Know how many times I’ve been to rehab? That’s right - zero! Do you know what your chances are of beating me at Night of Champions? ZERO!
J.R. - In some aspects of life, the truth hurts, but in life, you should be able to right your wrongs. Jeff has it in his heart to be the world heavyweight champion, and that could happen at the Night of Champions.
J.R. - The Sultan of Sideburns, Runjin Singh, is at ringside.
(during the Kane-Khali chair staredown)Grisham - THIS IS LIKE BABE RUTH VERSUS HANK AARON!
Grisham - Just for the record, there’s no bromance between myself and J.R.
J.R. - I’m down with that, dawg. Ain’t no bromance here.
J.R. - I can’t get over that I just said “dawg”.
(after a clip of Cryme Tyme cheating to win)Grisham - Shad calls that THUGTASTIC!
J.R. - You could call it many things. CHEATING, for one.
J.R. - Allegedly, Tyson Kidd was the last man trained at Stu Hart’s legendary Dungeon.
Grisham - Not a place to go on vacation.
J.R. - I passed through it once - lots of stories.
J.R. - JTG was right in our lap - I think he might’ve lost part of his grill!
J.R. - The Dynasty wants to make up for last week’s disappointing result. I remember if Bret lost one week, he’d make the necessary adjustments to win the next one.
Grisham - Don’t hate the player, hate the game! The Hart Dynasty wins!
Jericho - I am the best in the world at what I do! And you would think that I’d be satisfied by being one-half of the unified tag champions. BUT LET’S GO DOWN THE LIST. Four time tag champion, five time world champion, first-ever undisputed champion in the history of this business. Tonight, I will be the intercontinental champion for the unprecedented 10th time. THAT BREAKS MY OWN RECORD AND CEMENTS MY LEGENDARY STATUS IN THIS BUSINESS! The sweetest thing of all is that my victory will come at the expense of your little hero REY MYSTERIO!
J.R. - Jericho and Rey had arguably the best match of the…BASH! Of course, we’re biased.
J.R. - Atlantis-like torture rack from Jericho!
J.R. - Jericho is like a math professor - dissecting Mysterio bit-by-bit.
Jericho - STAY DOWN! (he then punts Rey in the gut)

Watched 2 good shoots today.. first, the Hardcore Holly RF shoot. He talked about the Renee Dupree incident, says he was in Spokane for a house show and Hurricane Ivan was going to his home in Mobile, Al. So he left and Renee asked to borrow his rental car. He let him and Renee got some type of ticket, that he never paid. Well Holly ended up getting a warrant for his arrest and had to fly back to Spokane, miss a big house show at MSG (good payday) and TV on Monday. Renee denied it for months and then one day before a house show match, he tried to apologize to Holly and he said get the fuck out of my face. So he went out and beat the shit out of him in their match. He said he didn't get any heat for it, untill Triple H got in Vinces ear because he doesn't like violence. He said Triple H doesn't like MMA and he's basically a pussy. lol

The Nasty Boys vol. 2 shoot was good and Bret Hart made a cameo at the end, it was basically just good road stories.
 
thank you for evry hot love song

[quote name='Purple Flames']After tonight's show, I'm more than convinced that Smackdown is the real A show.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. It has been for a while now. I don't watch it but I wouldn't be surprised if ECW is more entertaining than Raw at this point.
 
Mysterio has been excellent lately. His matches with Jericho have been AMAZING. I literally can't wait for the next episode. Between Punk/Hardy and now Jericho/Mysterio shifting into Mysterio/Ziggler, I can't wait to see what happens next. I expect a Mysterio/Morrison vs. Jericho/Ziggler tag match in the near future.

fuck Monday Night Raw.
 
[quote name='F4W']Dr. Evil's son, Seth Green, will be the Raw GM this Monday, at least as of yesterday. Apparently he's a big wrestling fan and has appeared on some of the MSG Classics shows as a little kid in the crowd taunting the heels. They're doing a tie-in with WWE as Hunter will also be a guest on Green's Robot Chicken season premiere on July 26th at 11:30 PM ET on Cartoon Network.[/quote]

We need a "Numb Chucking" segment with Hornswoggle.

Did you buy the shoots, pimpster?
 
So... Seth pins Ort in the ring tonight more than likely since the WWE is really burying Ort. I think I made the right decision to turn off RAW all together after the opening segment and not looking back. I find catching up on 30 Rock much more enjoyable. Then again who wouldn't want to piitb to Tina Fey anyways? ;)
 
Well, I say that the all-american american will be his partner...
 
Has anyone ehard about the Mick Foley/Colt Cabana standup comedy special next month in LA? It's just now hitting the news sites, but my friend, with whom I am attending SummerSlam and Bound For Glory, got us tickets a while back.
 
Not the greatest Raw, as it had some really boring points, but there were some really good things about tonight's show. One was the new thing Mark Henry did raising his arms up and down for the crowd as a signal for them to the same - it's simple, and tonight, it worked perfectly. They all did, they got wide-shots of it, and it looked awesome. Jericho's announcement about him naming a new partner was good - I'd rather see them do that than a tourney, especially since the company has like four teams anyway. The opening was good, and holy crap did HHH look both massive and old compared to Seth, who looked to be about 12, when they were side-by-side.

The surgery photos were quite graphic, too. I expected them to do some black and white ones, but nope, they were all in color, and nasty-looking. However, combined with the awesome Jericho burial of him, he'll come back and be a huge deal as a face whenever he's physically able. Henry-Jericho was great from beginning to end. It started with the awesome speech, then Mark Henry came out and put his arm around Jericho, who had the most uncomfortable look ever on his face, then he got his clothes ripped op, almost looked like a Fabulous One after just having a tie and pants on, got whooped, left, and Henry did the crowd thing.

The Seth Green stuff was hit-or-miss. The plugs for Robot Chicken bugged me - and I like the show. The Austin Powers deal came off as incredibly out of date, but at least Show was able to be entertaining due to it since he shines with roles like that. Like he did when he played Fat Bastard on TV once. Nearly a decade ago. Santino was also gold with his action figure bit. The main event was pretty boring, but I did enjoy seeing Orton's scowl when Seth was in the punt position.

Show-Bourne was a good, short monster vs. little man match. Bourne sold perfectly for him, and damn was the spear sick. Kofi may have sucked on commentary, badly, but I dug his post-match attack. It actually made it seem like he'd have a chance against Show on Superstars, and then at the PPV when they no doubt have a three-way for the title. The divas match was a nice little throwback to the Attitude era, even if the chicks wore far more clothing here than there. The ending pin with Maryse on Mickie was just so damned awesome.

Quotes -
HHH - About a month ago, Donald Trump bought Raw, but seven days later, Vince bought it back. Tonight’s guest host…is a star of TV and film, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Austin Powers, the Family Guy, and is the co-creator of his own show Robot Chicken. My friend, SETH GREEN!
King - Seth’s a big guy, isn’t he!
HHH - This is the kind of outside-the-box thinking that makes me such a fan of Robot Chicken. The biggest celebrities in the world are on it…like this episode premiering in two weeks…
(to Seth)Orton - I think I know why you’re on our show…it’s so someone might mistake you for a real man!
Cole - Mickie’s gonna have to be focused in two weeks…from yesterday.
Lawler - I hope Maryse knows I’m in the penthouse suite at the Motel 6!
(on Kelly)Lawler - She’s very bendy…I like that…
Jericho - There he is…Mr. Star Wars. I know who you are - you claim to be a fan of Star Wars and yet mock it, just like you do the WWE tonight.
Seth - No, I’m a fan of WWE.
Jericho - You should know that I’m the top guy on this show, in this company, and you should have catered to me. You’re a parasite and a drone, just like all of them.
Seth - Look dude, I’m doing something exciting to the people, and if all you’re gonna do is bring negativity, maybe you should just leave.
Jericho - No, I’ve got something to say, Mr. Host.
Miz - Primo…one half of the colons. Where’s the other half? Carlito? Doing something more important? Like getting a cup of coffee. So he’s out, and I’m in, and since Maryse is probably watching this, I’m going to leave you laying in the ring just like the reject that you are because I’m THE MIZ AND I’M AWESOME!
Cole - The Miz is a goof! Did you see his blogs on WWE.com!?
Lawler - His family’s got more nuts than Planters, so he’s just continuing a tradition. What’d he say?
(after he spots the apple on his brother)Cole - It was indeed Carlito’s Way tonight…
Cole - Chavo is on his knees by order of Mr. McMahon.
(on Hornswoggle-Chavo from Superstars)Seth - That was a fantastic match!
Show - Seth, I could give you advice, but it’ll cost you… ONE MILLION DOLLARS! BWAHAHAHA!
Cole - MVP is looking to ballin here on Raw tonight!
Lawler - MVP paid his debt and since then, he’s tried to be a model citizen!
Jericho - For the first time in WWE history, the Unified tag team championships is held by one man - the best in the world today, Chris Jericho. I find it ironic that my partner Edge, much like Achilles, was considered a great warrior for their time, but were taken down by an Achilles tendon injury. I should have known better than to pick a partner as frail and injury-prone as Edge. Edge was the weak link of our team - that’s obvious, and I should not be punished for his imperfections as a performer and as a man. I know that you hypocrites feel that I should be stripped of my titles, you think I should relinquish my championship, but it’s not gonna happen! Maybe you think our host is gonna host a tournament? That’s not gonna happen! I’m an intelligent man - I’m smarter than each and every one of you, and when I agree to the match at Night of Champions I had a clause put in my contract that I’d be able to choose a tag team partner and remain a tag team champion. Before Night of Champions, I’m going to pick a partner who’s the opposite of Edge - worthy of standing in the ring next to Chris Jericho, and just like me, he’s going to be a truthful, honest, and just man. (Mark Henry comes out) Mark Henry, the world’s strongest man, you’re impressive - the exact same kind of man that I had in mind.
Henry - Chris, we could do unbelievable things. Don’t you think we’d a great team, Orlando?! Well, actually, Chris, I didn’t come out here to be your partner. I came out here to be your opponent!
Local Ad - WWE - The best value in entertainment!
(on the Hornswoggle-Chavo saga)Cole - If you thought it was all over after Superstars…well, it’s not…
(to Cole)Lawler - I bet you get tied up all the time!
Lawler - Seth Green’s a big Hornswoggle fan - he was in the Austin Powers movies with mini me!
Cole - So?
Lawler - Well…he likes little people!
Cole - Last week, Big Show hit the camel clutch backbreaker - now known as the Colossal Clutch!
Lawler - I LOVE ROBOT CHICKEN!
(on the show’s main event)King - THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST STAR-STUDDED TAG MATCHES IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!
(playing with action figures)Santino - I’M GONNA HUMBLE YOU IN DA CAMEL CLUTCH! You think I could have a job on your show Electric Poultry?
HHH - If you want to hang out with Dudley Do-Right over here, go right ahead…
Cena - Hey…we know he’s gonna get killed anyway. No need to turn this into an argument!
Cole - HIGH KNEE! VINTAGE HHH!

I'm still gonna hold out for Christian pulling double duty at NOC, losing the ECW title match and then coming out as Jericho's partner. I'd also be ok with a few other guys as well.
