Borash really needs to lay off the tanning. If you're naturally pale, there's a limit on how much orangeness is acceptable.

It sounded to me like Steiner fluidly slipped out of kayfabe during that segment and started to shoot on Jarret.
That's how I interpreted it anyways.

Nice Rock Bottom by Bubba. Almost distracts from that cringe worthy hair style.
All time favorite? Shawn Michaels. Aside from storyline stuff, he's rarely off his game in terms of match quality. For about ten years straight (I'm saying maybe '93-'03, maybe later), he was pretty much excellent in every match he had.
Best promo man goes to, IMO, Foley. He's far from the best worker and relies a little too heavily on gimmicks and cheap pops, but some of his "angry" promos are just awesome. Seems like the kind of guy who will rehearse a promo for days until he's figured out exactly what he wants to say.
I'll toss out a vote for Rick Rude as one of the best heels we've seen in recent years. He managed to draw heat simply by taking off his robe - he came off like a complete sleazeball and you wanted to see him get his ass kicked. Same goes for Curt Hennig during his Perfect days - cocky, confident, and just a general dick but you knew he could back it up. He was doing HBK's schtick about 5 years early.
Worst gimmick? The Red Rooster, El Matador, Saba Simba.

While I don't like TNA nixing the tradition of the War Games coin toss, I enjoyed the "Lethal Lockdown Advantage Challenge!" match between AJ and Steiner. DW was hilarious on commentary, especially when he said that Steiner used quickness to avoid AJ's forearm. The match itself was an example of how to get a good match out of Steiner now.
The main event between Joe and Sting was short, but good, and I was somewhat surprised to see Sting take the muscle buster, and then be choked out. It seems odd to have the champion be dominated like that before the PPV, but it makes sense with the setup of Foley wanting that to happen so he'd softened up for his title match.
The Foley sit-down interview was good in the sense that it made me want to see the match more, although the line about him not thinking he could achieve the heights of being TNA Champion made me laugh - that certainly wasn't what TNA wanted out of the line, but that's about all they can realistically expect as a reaction given that the belt has been treated like a joke for years (except for last year's Lockdown main event). The line about dropping a big elbow off the top of the cage is also a scary one, as they've now given fans an idea that that move will happen and it's pretty clear that Foley's body can't handle anything like that now. Hell, he could barely do anything in a six-man tag a few months ago, or even in his tag match on Impact recently.
The return of Daffney (or as DW called her "WHAT THE GOVERNOR IS NOW") ruled. I don't know why they just didn't come out and say she was Daffney given that she looked like her, acted like her, and used that name in the past year on TNA TV so it isn't like it's a big shock or anything, but whatever. Abyss bringing back the DOOMSDAY CHAMBER OF BLOOD and bashing the octomom made me chuckle, as did Stevie beating him up for using weapons again.
The Beer Money vs. 3D feud got more intriguing with the Beer Money save, and I liked the Rough Cut segment for 3D this week. They've definitely made this match seem more important than any TNA Tag Title match in recent memory, and have added a layer of depth to the Beer Money Inc. team along the way. Tenay stating that the match was for titles and WORLD DOMINATION ruled. Maybe Pinky and the Brain will challenge for the titles at Sacrifice.

(opening package)Foley - No one’s talking about that other wrestling show in April - THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT LOCKDOWN!
Tenay - TONIGHT, IT’S THE AFTERMATH OF LAST WEEK’S CAPTAIN’S GAUNTLET!
Tenay - AJ is the first-ever GRAND SLAM CHAMPION IN TNA HISTORY!
Tenay - WHAT!? JUST AS WE ESTABLISH THAT JEFF JARRETT, TNA FOUNDER, WILL LEAD A LETHAL LOCKDOWN TEAM, SCOTT STEINER INTERRUPTS!?
Steiner - Jeff, right now, you lipsten, you need to listen to AJ - he’s telling the truth. When you started TNA 7 years ago, it was filled with nobodies and wannabes, and now, except for the MEM, the roster is still filled with wannabes and nobodies. I didn’t come out here as Scott Steiner, I came out here as your friend of over 20 years. When we broke in 20 years ago, we went up and down the highway and failure wasn’t an option because that’s how we were raised. We are just the same. You and I and the MEM are just the same. You might be confused because Mick went crazy last week, you might be desperate because he’s out of his mind, but you can’t trust the future of TNA with these punks! YOU GOT NOTHING IN COMMON WITH THESE PUNKS! Over 20 years ago, I met you and I met Jill, your wife. And we were tight - YOU KNOW THIS! I put her on a pedestal, I respected and loved her, and one of the last things she said to me was help take care of my girls. I know you don’t know that, but she trusted me and knew my heart. Trust me, trust TNA and the future of TNA with me and the MEM. You see Jeff, I’m gonna ask you a question, I was there when your babies were born and I’ve rocked them to sleep. If ever there was an emergency and you needed somebody, who would you trust with your girls? Don’t answer that - ask your daughters that question, and then you’ll have your answer. I’ve always had your best interests in heart - you need to come back where you belong.
AJ - TRUST!? THERE’S A ROSTER FULL OF WRESTLERS YOU CAN TRUST, AND IT’S NOT THE MAIN EVENT MAFIA! YOU HAD FAITH IN THE ORIGINALS! YOU DO WHAT’S RIGHT! AND I’LL TELL YA WHAT’S RIGHT, THE PLAN ABOUT WHO GETS THE ADVANTAGE IN LETHAL LOCKDOWN!? HOW ABOUT WE START IT OFF STEINER, IN THIS VERY RING!?
Steiner - YOU WANNA MATCH!? YOU GOTTA MATCH!

Angle - Kev - you’ve got Jenna. Charm the pants off that bitch! The Mafia could use a donation.
Booker - 1-2-3 REEEEESSPEEEECCCCTTTTTTTT!
VO Guy - THIS IS THE MOST EPIC DVD RELEASE IN TNA HISTORY! JEFF JARRETT - KING OF THE MOUNTAIN!
Lauren - Sheik Abdul Bashir, you asked for TV time, so in the interest of fairness, TNA management has given you 15 seconds.
Tenay - Keep in mind that LAX still have possession of their Feast or Fired cases, which will give Homicide an X Title and Hernandez, a TNA Title match any time they want!
Foley - JB, don’t worry about logic - this is all about having fun.
Jarrett - Mick, I never thought I’d regret letting you buy into TNA. Scott Steiner makes more sense than you! MAYBE I SHOULD JOIN THE MAFIA!
Foley - Are you Double J or Double D!?
Jarrett - WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU!? Do you know how close we were to ending the Mafia?
Foley - All I know is that I had a chair and it felt good! We don’t need “TNA presents Big Guys Getting Along” - WE NEED THE MAFIA, JEFF!
Foley - Six months ago, I didn’t think of being TNA World Heavyweight Champion because I DIDN’T DREAM THAT BIG! I WAS A SETTLER! Mike, I’m going to tell you what I told my six-year old son when he asked if there was a leprachaun handing out candy. Now we know there isn’t, but I said… WHY THE HELL NOT!? WHY CAN’T I BE CHAMPION!? WHY THE HELL NOT!?
DW - Is it just me or is everyone but the MEM losing their minds?
Abyss - WHY WOULD SHE HAVE SO MANY CHILDREN IF SHE COULDN’T TAKE CARE OF THEM!? LAUREN AND I WOULDN’T DO THAT!
(after kicking Abyss’ ass)Stevie - NO MORE VIOLENCE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!? Same time next week, Chris?
Abyss - Yes, Dr. Stevie…
Foley - JB, there’s a word for people like Jeff Jarrett - party pooper.
JB - I think it’s two words, Mick.
Foley - Have you written any best-sellers I don’t know about, J.B.? I think it’s one word with a hyphen.
Joe - I want them, Mick…
Foley - Who?
Joe - The Mafia…
Foley - Joe, put the knife away…
Tenay - Let’s go back to Dr. Stevie’s office with THE GOVERNOR!
Daffney - Roxxi and Taylor called me, I knew ‘em from the indies, and they called me for a prank.

A DOCTOR TOLD ME ONCE THAT THERE ARE CHEMICALS IN THE BRAIN THAT CAN’T BE FIXED AND THAT THE BRAIN JUST CAN’T BE FIXED… Thanks, Dr. Stevie…
Tenay - Are you gonna focus on this match or are you just gonna blow kisses at the Beautiful People all night?
DW - Jealousy, jealousy…the green monster is out!
Tenay - 3D versus Beer Money, for the New Japan and TNA Tag Titles AND FOR WORLD DOMINATION!
Penzer - THE FOLLOWING IS A NON-TITLE LETHAL LOCKDOWN ADVANTAGE CHALLENGE MATCH!
Tenay - The importance of these Lethal Lockdown advantage challenge matches can’t be overstated!
DW - WHILE THE MATCH DOESN’T REALLY BEGIN UNTIL EVERYONE IS IN, these matches allow you to have a numbers advantage until then.
(after Steiner pulls the ref into the path of AJ’s forearm)Tenay - DID STEINER PULL THE REF IN THE WAY!?
DW - No, Steiner was showing UNBELIEVABLE QUICKNESS and was able to get out of the way.

All I got is a random WM memory -
renting Wrestlemania 1, getting home and finding out I got some random women's wrestling (glow?) event. I even tried fast forwarding the thing to see if it eventually turned into the WM event, nope. Think i stopped once i got to the Farmers Daughter match :lol:

To be perfectly honest I've never actually gotten the chance to see a Wrestlemania live until last year. Actually, before last year, I still hadn't seen a single Wrestlmania all the way through, just choice matches from DVDs and bits and pieces of the shows.
Anyone have any cool wrestling related memorabilia? Not something you can buy, but something you got from the wrestler themselves?
The only thing I have was from when I went to an ECW on TNN taping back in December '99. Rhino gored Sandman through a table.. I talked to a TNN exec and he let me keep half of the table that Sandman went through.. I still have it!

Off the top of my head I have an old cardboard flyer promoting an ECW show in Cincinnati. It's the sort of generic black print on yellow poster style. I think it's pretty thrash, but I've no idea where it is anymore.
And I finally had to check out the Wrestleicious promotion some of you surely know about. Well, about all I know about them now is that they look like they ripped of GLOW and POWW lock, stock, and barrel, and managed to rip off the AWA's "WrestleRock Rumble" at the same time.

I've got an action figure I waited like 3 hours in line at a car audio store signed by Shawn Michaels many years ago. It looks like this only with red pants instead of blue
He signed it on the chest and you can barely tell what it says.
Also came across this while looking for that picture, I loled.

I've got a pair of Hitman shades from a house show a loooooooong time ago at the Richfield Coliseum.
A friend of mine has a plastic beer cup with New Jack's blood on it. Probably dangerous.
Ha! I used to have that HBK figure. I remember that series having bendable arms and legs that "cracked" when you bent them for "bone crushing action".

In my geekest days, I collected a literal crapton of Wrestling figures. everything from the Jakks Bone Crunchers to the TNA line of stuff. Probably sank thousands in it over the years.
How can people cite Eugene & Khali as the worst gimmicks? At least Eugene got a reaction. What about all the hundreds of really shitty gimmicks from the WWF days? How about WCW circa 2000? How about 90% of the wrestlers in TNA today?
Go visit wrestlecrap.com and get educated on what truly horrible gimmicks are.

I have half of a crutch that I got at an ECW TV taping. It was a 6-man tag (I don't remember who), one guy was hitting another with it, it snapped in half and flew into my row (2nd). Two other guys and myself dove after it and I came up with it. There was a cameraman pointed right at me when I stood up. The red light came on and like a complete goon I looked straight at him, held the crutch up and said "RAAAARRRGGGHH!". A classic television moment.

Are we talking about our favourite wrestlers?
All time: Bret Hart. Loved his attitude, work, and promos - it eminated a genuinely Canadian quality. One of the best promos of all time was his anti-American angle. That thing drew legitimate heat.
Worst gimmick: Pierre Lafett (sp?) He was a pirate, I think.
I'm watching my first wrestling event of the year tomorrow night. Is anything going to top Undertaker-Michaels?

er's post reminds me how much I *LOATHE* in' ROH fans.Virtually every person I've seen at an ROH show in the nearly 10 I've been to has looked like the walking stereotype created by wrestlers when they describe smart marks.
Kids who think wearing a black and red button-up short sleeve oxford with "tribal" designs on it that they bought at "Kohl's" is something classy to wear.

Sorry everyone. Didn't think anyone cared about ROH because it typically costs money to watch and follow.
[quote name='mykevermin']Those early WWF Jakks figures were pure shit.[/QUOTE]
You ain't kidding. I remember the first wave that came out during the "New Generation" era...my friend and I bought 2 or 3 of them each, and they all had loose arms/legs and just felt cheap as hell.
Never bought any more after that, although I occasionally bought some of the offshoots just for the hell of it (Stretch Armstrong style Undertaker, superdeformed Gangrel "sweat" figure just because it looked awesome, etc).
This will be the first Wrestlemania I've watched on TV since 20. It would be the first one I watched live since then as well, but I went to 23 since it was here. Not buying it myself, but any friend willing to pony up like 55 bucks or whatevering outrageous price they are charging is a dear (and foolish) friend indeed.
You ain't kidding. I remember the first wave that came out during the "New Generation" era...my friend and I bought 2 or 3 of them each, and they all had loose arms/legs and just felt cheap as hell.
Never bought any more after that, although I occasionally bought some of the offshoots just for the hell of it (Stretch Armstrong style Undertaker, superdeformed Gangrel "sweat" figure just because it looked awesome, etc).

$55, eh? Well, you know how it goes. You bring a bag of 'cheez curls' and a 12-pack of PBR and you're square.
Which, it turns out, you actually are if you get like 7-10 people to do that.

Since this probably won't get to 500 by tomorrow, I'll toss out 'Mania predictions now.
Miz/Morrison over Carlito/Primo to become unified tag-team champions
MVP over everyone else to win Money In The Bank
Santino wins Diva Battle Royal
JBL over Rey to retain
Undertaker over HBK
The Legends over Jericho (Steamboat gets the pin)
Orton over HHH by countout/DQ to win ____ championship
Cena over Show/Edge to win ____ championship
I'm taking Orton over HHH because of the added stipulation where HHH can lose the title by DQ or countout. It seems too soon for the big blowoff match, and I think we're still in for a 6-man tag (Shane/Vince/HHH vs Legacy) and maybe HHH/Orton in some big gimmick match.
I'll pick Santino to win the Diva Battle Royal - with two spots left, I see him getting in somehow and screwing Beth to win. If Trish Stratus gets in, she's the favorite and hopefully we'll get a Trish/Beth match.

The only prediction I have right now is that Christian wins MitB and immediately challenges (and beats) Swagger for the ECW belt.

Who wants to be the world champion of tuesday night velocity?
Onto TNA, are their shows getting better or something? Their ratings have steadily and consistently grown over the past couple weeks such that they're roughly 40% higher than they were when they languished for eternity in the 0.9-1.0 range for years on Spike. Is it fun to watch again?
