The Dwayne Johnson Appreciation (Wrestling) Thread

[quote name='JaytheGamefan']KaneRobot, I don't expect them to have Rey drop the mask, but I just find it incredibly stupid to only build it up for SIX DAYS.

In some good TNA news, the 10/23 Impact show will be live from Vegas and their first Impact show in HD. On the downside to this, tickets aren't free for a TNA TV taping (they'll be $60 for ringside and $30 for general admission), and they're coming about a week after a WWE show.[/quote]


Interesting. My attendance depends on the card. I would go if Kevin Nash let me pet him.

[quote name='GuilewasNK']I saw him at a house show in Roanoke, VA in June against D'Lo. He was awesomely hilarious. It was just before the Glamorella stuff unfortunately though.[/quote]


Any Santino is good Santino, is my motto. :D
 
The next set of Impact spoilers are out -
(1) Cute Kip d. Rhino in a NO DQ match.

(2) Consequences Creed won a 4 way over Petey Williams, Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt to earn and X Division Title shot at Bound for Glory.

(3) Abyss & Matt Morgan d. Beer Money in a non-title match.

- Mick Foley comes out and cuts a promo. Jeff Jarrett and Kurt Angle come out as well and all three go back and forth on the mic.

(4) Raisha Saeed & Awesome Kong d. Roxxi & Taylor Wilde.

(5) AJ Styles d. Booker T with Christian Cage as guest referee. After the match Cage attacked both guys and said he isn't on anyones side. Jim Cornette comes out and announces Booker vs AJ vs Cage in a 3 way at Bound for Glory.

- Sting and Samoa Joe have their contract signing for Bound for Glory. They brawl and security breaks it up.

Holy crap does this look like a mess -
Of all things in TNA to make a No DQ match...Rhino vs. Cute Kip - good lord. And they beat the tag champs (granted, in a non-title match) with easily the least exciting team in TNA in Morgan and Abyss, and now Cage is a tweener again. Great, so he'll likely just be in limbo like every other time he's been one. At least the PPV match should be good.

Also, why has Booker not done ANYTHING to request a rematch for the world title? Storyline-wise, he lost the shot due to no fault of his own, and instead of doing anything to demand a title shot (which one would think he's entitled to since he earned the shot, unlike Sting, who pinned exactly zero people to earn his BFG one), he's worried about a briefcase and preventing JB from eating his food. Well, maybe he stole the feast or fired case that said WORLD TITLE SHOT in it and he fears retaliation since he stole the case and didn't win it fairly in a reverse battle royal gauntlet for the gold fight for your right to fight to the right Michael Scott Invitational Pro-Am Race For the Cure tournament.

:cold:

I guess TNA does not think too highly of Mick Foley if his debut is one segment between Abyss/Morgan/Beer Money and Raisha Saeed/Kong/Roxxi/Wilde. That, or they only have small plans for him.

And Sting isn't relevant anymore. I think it is a bad decision to just drop someone who hasn't been on TV in a long time into the World title picture. I think it makes the World title scene look chaotic and lessens the value of the World title.

*shrugs*

TNA: The Whole Show's a Dusty Finish
 
"Recently, Vince McMahon has been talking about wanting the wrestlers to become better actors. McMahon believes that Raw should be able to stand up to the acting on a regular television show. Unfortunately for WWE, a lot of wrestlers just aren't very good actors. One of Freddy Prinze Jr.'s roles (who's still a writing assistant on SmackDown working underneath Michael Hayes and Christopher DeJosephs) is to coach the wrestlers on their acting skills."

I'm waiting for WWE to scrap the ring and begin using sets. Although if they used sets from Melrose Place I probably wouldn't mind...

...


:oops:
 
What is most frustrating about Vince's push for more entertainment and less wrestling is the lack of a nationwide alternative that has less drama and more wrestling. TNA could be that alternative and indeed, when I first started watching their DVDs and shows, it was. Since they became WWE Lite, shit's been turrrrrrible. At the same time, I've actually enjoyed WWE more so go figure.

It just seems to elude Vince that people *gasp* enjoy professional wrestling for what it is and don't really need it to have great acting outside of the ring. Anyhow, off to keep working on that PWG set I bought. It is amazing, you all need to check your Best Buys. Kevin Steen vs. Super Dragon is worth the price of admission.
 
Myke, I reckon that video is from around 1998.

And Halo, when I first saw TNA back when they were a PPV show, I thought, "Okay, this has potential." Now, as you said, it is WWE Lite. Sometimes, you gotta take risks, like creating a product completely different than what's popular. Sometimes they pay off, sometimes they don't. I think TNA caved under the pressure. Could TNA have become a solid competitor to WWE? Possibly. Do I think they still have the potential to do so? No.

It makes me want to become Puro and ROH loyal again.

But then I think of Santino and John Morrison, and return back to WWE. :mrgreen:
 
TNA isn't "lite."

It's "overboard." WWE, even when it sucks, makes some semblance of sense.

The main event scene in TNA pops up and down as fast as a "whack-a-mole," and they give very little time to each feud. Who are we to care about? Jarrett? Booker? Sting? Nash? Christian? Doesn't matter, since it'll be someone else in 4 weeks anyway.

Their wrestling doesn't do anything for me; the production of the show, the awful characters, the uninteresting-when-you-understand-them and frustrating-when-they-make-no-fucking-sense storylines just coalesce into a show that's wholly unwatchable.

Well played, sir.
 
More on the TNA HD move - they'll likely be doing away with one of the entrance ways, and will try to make the Impact Zone look good in HD. - http://www.prowrestling.net/artman/publish/TNA/article1002958.shtml
I have no problem with them nixing one of the entrance ways, and well, good luck making the Impact Zone look more appealing in HD. I think that'll require a fairly big overhaul as it already looks like a cheap B-movie set in SD, and that's after numerous renovations to it over the years.

Quick update on PWG, as they've scheduled and rescheduled their annual Battle Of Los Angeles tournament around the TNA SoCal house shows. Originally scheduled for Labor Day weekend, the shows were moved to Halloween weekend to accommodate Dragon Gate's participation. TNA then announced their SoCal shows, and PWG found itself in danger of low attendance.

In retaliation, PWG cut the BOLA tournament from 3 days and 24 participants to 2 days and 16, running November 1st and 2nd against the TNA shows. Because PWG will not have held an event in nearly three months, PWG is promising the biggest BOLA ever and an absolutely stacked weekend. Participants will be named beginning 10/4, and a new entrant will be named every day until all are revealed, followed by the seeding.

It's just too much, like Scott Taylor and Brian Christopher.

TNA puts too much effort into poorly-developed ideas, like Dutt and Lethal. They really stretched that story for all its worth (which wasn't much). It should have wrapped up a while ago. They also killed the Awesome Kong Challenge story by admitting to bringing in women pro-wrestlers. There have been a lot of mistakes. They need an editor or a better supervisor, or something. Someone needs to catch and correct these errors.

If they break up LAX, consider that yet another mistake.

TNA reminds me of someone who types for speed neglecting accuracy.

That reminds me. I bought PWG Sells Out and recommend it. It's a solid Best Of DVD. One match that may be overlooked? AJ Styles versus James Gibson.

I do love Gibson.
 
So, I guess I forgot to mention this. I went to rehab a couple months ago and apparently a certain son of Memphis wrestling royalty left about a day before I got there. Unfortunately, I missed him... People there were telling me that he was completely off his rocker. He talked about having people shoot dope in one of his arms, shoot coke in another, and take a hit of crack at the same time. They also said he constantly suited up into his wrestling gear, was highly juiced up, tried to fight with everyone (including females), and told someone to bring him a towel into the bathroom while he was jerking off. Apparently, my buddy was room mates with him. My buddy asked him to wake him up so he wouldn't miss breakfast, he woke him up with a frog splash.

I was pretty pissed that I missed him for 2 reasons:

  • I was actually a fan of him and 2 Cool
  • I would have LOVED to get in a fight with Grand Master Sexay
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that he got kicked out for almost starting a fight with a staff member. After that, they instated a new security policy. It was much harder to sneak in alone time with girls since they had security pretty much everywhere. So... you guys might be shitting on Justin Credible for working at Olive Garden or whatever, but at least he's doing something. :)
 
Brian Christopher always seemed like he was on drugs or abused alcohol. His face looked drunkard fat. :whistle2:#

Oh, and that's a good story, Phrosty. :D

The poor towel persons. :whistle2:(

RAVEN IS RETURNING TO THE WWE!!!!!

Okay he's not..... damn you Teeh Randee Oawtun for fooling people. :lol:
 
[quote name='BustaUppa']but the two V's in that "Survivor Series" logo look kind of like an Ultimate Warrior mask...
omg, you heard it here first!!!!![/QUOTE]

Well put two V's together and you get an W. Turn the W upside town and you get an M. In 1988 at the second annual Survivor Series Ted DiBiase eliminated the Macho Man Randy Savage during an traditional 5 on 5 Survivor Series match. In 2008 Ted DiBiase Jr. is one part of Priceless alongside Cody Rhodes.

Is Macho Man coming back to make Ted DiBase Jr. pay for the sins of his daddy? Stay tuned!
 
Obviously, Randy Orton will team up with Swamp Thing as CM Punk brings back RoboCop.

Didn't you guys know? This is RoboCop's farewell tour. It's set to conclude at WrestleMania 25 against Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Arnold and RoboCop will be on the top rope, and RoboCop will utter, "I'll be back." Arnold will reply, "I'm sorry, no you won't," and overhead belly-to-belly him into a vat of boiling liquid metal for the win.
:cry:
 
If RoboCop made his long awaited return, I'd mark out like a motherfucker. Odds are though, that he'll come back to TNA to team up with Sting again. Maybe he'll show up at Bound For Glory?

PUT THE BELT ON HIM!!
 
I received a sample ballot for the upcoming election in the mail the other day, and check out the competition for California State Senate. I apologize for the shadow, but my scanner's not working so I used a digital camera:

Don't say that.

Next thing you know, Russo will break up the Motor City Machine Guns and have Alex Shelley running around in a crappy Robocop suit.

Hopefully, Russo reads this thread or has some lackeys that do, because that's definitely a TNA style idea. And that costume would definitely fit in their budget/creative ability.

Can't wait to see Alex Shelley get "fired". :)
 
So, MyNetworkTV is showing WM24 tonight.

Maybe it's just my affiliate, but the feed is messed up... bottom on the top, and vice versa.

Nice debut, WWE... this really builds my confidence in this network. :lol:


edit - ok, so it's working now. Wow, is the whole thing going to be edited like this? What a rip... it's like WM24 for those with ADD. I'm not sure who thought I'd like to watch an hour long 'catch the repeat on PPV this week!' promo, but they were wrong. Yeesh.

I missed the first 15 or so minutes of Impact, but what I saw was largely decent - nothing amazing match-wise, but the LAX-Guns match was good (aside from some of the most contrived spots), as was the 6-man tag. The knockouts tag did nothing for me, largely because of it being a showcase for Khan, who does nothing for me in the ring. She's got a unique look, but that's about it.

The Jarrett promo about the Sun wasn't quite as stupid as I'd feared, as he stuck with the topics (at least in the aired version) that were pertinent to this feud, although I'm still not a fan of them using a single interview as a basis for a show-long storyline. Cornette being upset with Kurt because the Sun has NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION! ruled. I guess it would've been okay if he bitched to a high school paper.

The Mick-Angle exchange at the end was easily the best part of the show. Tenay oversold things by calling Mick's debut monumental, but Mick's promo was easily the best one on this show since Sting's have just become nothing but whining. The WORLD TITLE MATCH at the PPV being relegated to a Tenay interview tonight bugged me - the fucking Monster's Ball was given more attention, and there was nothing interesting stated in the interview. Sting hates the youngsters who walk on his grass and DON'T SHOW NO RESPECT, Joe's FOR THA PEOPLE yadda yadda yadda. At least Joe said that he, by not attacking Sting right then and there, was showing Sting that he wasn't what Sting said he was - a no-good kid with no respect.

Back to the greatness of Mick and Kurt - while I didn't like the "I'm not the only guy who lost his wife" line, at least they didn't harp on it (that could change next week of course, but this week, they didn't) and it wasn't brought up again. Mick did an amazing job on the mic - stating that he appreciated all that WWE had done for him, and that he'd seen a lot of amazing stuff while acting as a commentator, but that he came to TNA to see Angle - the man who'd beaten the men who allowed Mick to see those amazing matches while behind a desk, that Kurt was a bigger acquisition than him, and that now he had to see if Kurt truly was still the best in the world. He managed to reference WWE without coming off as petty and found a way to make TNA actually seem better than WWE. This wasn't as good as his segment with Edge, but it was much better than I expected since his debut was seemingly being overshadowed by so many other things on this show.

Bashir was also given a chance to shine tonight, slightly, although I found the comment about him DOMINATING Joe to be hilarious, but at least they referenced his match last week so it least meant SOMETHING, instead of just having a champion vs. champion match and never mentioning it again.

As good as Mick was though, I still wasn't left with any desire to see Angle face Jarrett, and because they downplayed it so much, I don't care to see Sting face Joe now either. The monster's ball isn't all that appealing, and neither is the women's title match. As a PPV-selling show, this didn't do thing to make me want to buy THE BIGGEST EVENT IN COMPANY HISTORY! That's bad.

Screens -











Tenay: ...it was THIS BIG!
Sting: I don't care.
Joe: I hate this place.



Quotes -
Jarrett - Kurt, NO ONE CAN BRING DOWN TNA! The article states that KURT ANGLE IS CONSIDERING HIS OPTIONS NEXT YEAR! He’s making some comments about Vince McMahon - Vince is the most intelligent and successful promoter of all time! We’ve almost come to blows, but we have a mutual respect. NO ONE CAN BREAK THAT BOND, not even Jeff Jarrett. It’s like a father-son bond - reality set in, Kurt? You know we have a match! You don’t wanna be here anymore - I don’t get that, and I don’t get the comments about the father-son bond. Do you not remember 2 years ago when you couldn’t thank me enough when you got here?

Tenay - STAY TUNED FOR ONE OF THE MOST MONUMENTAL MOMENTS IN TNA HISTORY!
Foley - I’m in the same ring where Cute Kip… IT’S AN ABSOLUTE HONOR! Obviously this is uh… a huge night for me. Really, one of the biggest nights of my career. I want to thank all of you out there in the Impact Zone and at home. Watching on Spike, especially those who just tuned in from the VP debate, thank you. (crowd chants Foley) I want to thank the founder of TNA, Jeff Jarrett, to not only have the faith to bring me here but to refer to me as the greatest acquisition in TNA history - that was nice. I want to also thank someone very special - without whom this moment wouldn’t be possible - Vince McMahon. (fans boo) Come on. I want to thank him for presenting me with so many opportunities, but also for making the decision to leave WWE an easy one…(Angle comes out) I didn’t even get a chance to say “thanks but no thanks on the bridge to nowhere”.
Angle - Sorry, Mick, but Jeff pissed me off! Jeff wants to emarass me by showing something I said about Vince two years ago. Last week, he said tha you were the greatest acquisition in TNA history- he’s full of shit!
Mick - YOU CAN’T SAY THAT ON TV!
Angle - And so are you fans for buying into that crap! You see, 2 weeks ago, Jeff, you said something that touched a nerve. You said that I lost everything - you’re right, I did lose everything. Jarrett said I lost the TNA Title, he’s right. He said I lost my Olympic gold medal, he was right. And it’s no big secret, he said that I lost my wife, well Jeff, I’m not the one to lose their wife! As far as you Mick, what did you ever do!? I AM THE GREATEST ACQUISITION IN TNA! THIS IS MY RING! I CARRIED THIS COMPANY ALONE FOR TWO YEARS!
Foley - JUST A SECOND, YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT YOUR EXPLOITS, YOU DESERVE IT! BUT HOW DARE YOU DIMINISH THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF JOE, OR BELITTLE AJ STYLES! But just between me and you Kurt, I know who’s doing the heaviest lifting - you wanna know why I’m here? The main one is YOU! I poked fun at Vince, maybe I didn’t care for him saying SAY IT DAMMIT IN MY EARPIECE EACH WEEK, but there’s an aspect I loved, and that’s being able to watch and call some amazing matches featuring some amazing wrestlers. I saw Edge and the Undertaker, I saw Shawn Michaels and Jericho! I even saw the great HHH and John Cena! And then I got to thanking about you, and I realize that not only had you torn the house down with them, but you defeated them all as well, and that’s when I came to realize that maybe Jeff was wrong about you and wrong about me - I’m not the greatest acquisition in TNA history. You are. Not only that, I think you may be the greatest performer in the history of this business. But here’s the thing, I THINK you are, but I don’t know, and there’s only one way I can know - I need to be THAT close to the action to see if you are the greatest acquisition in the history of this sport.
Kurt - So you want to take Don’s place? He’s replaceable.
Foley - I didn’t come to TNA to take Don West’s place, even though he can be overbearing, BUT ALWAYS PASSIONATE! No, I’ve gotta be a little closer than that - I need to be rright next to the action. You hearing me.
Angle - You want o be in my corner, right?
Foley - No, you see, in Chicago, for one night only, I WILL BE THE SPECIAL ENFORCER IN YOUR MATCH WITH JEFF JARRETT!
Angle - Bleep. Bleep!
Foley - Kurt, read my lips - IT’S TRUE, IT’S DAMN TRUE!
Tenay - DID YOU HEAR THAT!? BOUND FOR GLORY, TNA’S BIGGEST PPV EVER JUST GOT BIGGER WITH THE NEWS THAT MICK FOLEY WILL BE THE SPECIAL ENFORCER!
Foley - I’ll see you in Chicago!
Tenay - LEMME TELL YA THIS, MICK FOLEY MEANS ONE THING - LAW AND ORDER! LAW AND ORDER WILL PREVAIL IN CHICAGO!

thx ;)

I caught the Rhaka Khan (I think that's the proper spelling) and ODB versus Beautiful People match. Rhaka Khan is terrible. She's worse than Torrie Wilson, at this point in time.

After that crapfest, I turned off the TV, and began listening to the latest episode of Podcast Beyond (Beyond!). For only being audio, it has been much ---much--- better than that tag match. :whistle2:#

Edit:

I'm watching the Foley debut promo. Mick can still cut a solid promo.

My heart sank as Foley said "I did not come here to take Don West's place." :whistle2:(

Also, I wish they had gone with a generic version of his Cactus Jack theme.

Well, they're kind of trying to blend his personas together for the theme with a bit of the Mankind theme in there with the car crash and the "BANG BANG" for Cactus. That stuff sticks out, the rest of it though...not so much - it could be used for anyone if it wasn't for those two distinct things.

BREAKING NEWS! Bound For Glory, the BIGGEST EVENT IN TNA HISTORY will have a special guest. He's a former champion in WCW. A former Horseman. No, not Paul Roma, it's... STEVE "MONGO" McMichael! He'll be guest refereeing the Monster's Ball. Still, there must be at least one skit on this show involving him, Booker T, and briefcases.

I haven't thought of Mongo's halliburton briefcase in years.
 
Wow, they picked the only Horseman who I would absolutely not want to hear ever again on commentary. Paul Roma might be a jerkoff but I wouldn't know that yet because I've never heard him on commentary. McMichael has literally caused me to fast-forward through or turn off WCW matches.
 
Mongo is the worst wrestler EVER. Worse than David Flair, worse than Vince McMahon, worse than Michael Cole. I still can't believe anyone trusted him enough to let him use the tombstone (Mongo Spike) on them.

Yes.

Huh?


One of the weirdest things I've seen in regards to title changes - McMichael pinning Jarrett clean in the opening match of a Clash broadcast for the U.S. Title, and the crowd going fucking insane. Dude wasn't very good in the ring, but he was definitely over for a short period of time.
