I came home from class and was talking to my roommate who really hasn't watch WWF since "Stone Cold went bad" and I turn on my TV and that happened....

.....I couldn't justify it. Why was an oily man flexing his pecs on my TV???? I couldn't think of a reason! So....I had to do the right thing and just turn it to the Saints game and do my homework. I'm sorry, but I've been trying to fight this for so long. I just...CANT WATCH RAW. And the worst part is Smackdown is too far away stuck on friday nights (who watches TV then?!?!). ECW is always forgettable. I don't even know whats going on when I watch TNA....

Basically, my interest in wrestling is drawing to a close and it's just outright terrible I can't do anything about it.

*I'm not going to quote that gif....
 
Edge was interviewed by French videogame website Play3-Live.com to promote the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw videogame release.

During the interview, Edge was asked for a status on his Achilles Heel tendon injury and recovery. He described himself as "on the path to coming back" where before he wasn't even on the path. He said he's able to walk without crutches and it's "been a hard injury and a painful injury."

Edge said he would return next year, but it's too soon to tell when. He noted he would love to be back for Wrestlemania, but it's too soon to say.

Edge said the addition of Big Show as his replacement in the Unified Tag Team championship team with Chris Jericho was a good choice. He went into work mode, noting he might have to go through Show to get to Jericho when he comes back. He said he believes he and Jericho will have good matches.

When asked about having an online presence, Edge said such things are "too complicated for me" and that he prefers to write and read books, noting that his autobiography was hand-written. He noted, "Who cares if you're at the beach?" in regard to twitter.

Good to know he's recovering. I hope they don't try and rush him back ASAP.
 
Edge wants to feud with the guy he stole his gimmick from. :O

yes, apparently out of everyone in developmental, they chose him to be brought up...granted, kaval has just returned from injury...no idea why danielson hasn't debuted yet, unless they're starting him in FCW which would be ridiculous.
 
[quote name='JJSP']The Sandman is currently in rehab paid for by the WWE. Good for him.[/QUOTE]

Sad he has to, but good for for realizing he needed it. Good luck to him on getting well.

They're waiting for Danielson to finish up his run on ROH TV before debuting him.
 
Part of me thinks they'll try to give Danielson the Angle/Cena style debut. They've had Cena talking about facing the same opponents over and over again for the past few weeks.
 
[quote name='Sporadic']Maybe I'm crazy but I didn't find that offensive at all.[/QUOTE]

My best friend and his wife are from the middle-east so I'm probably going to be more offended the most of the people here.

Also, the f-word just isn't cool. Ask Infinity Ward.

Is what Jericho said the worst thing ever said by a wrestler? No. Heck, that Jerry Lawler vid in the last thread was really much more hateful in tone, but lately shit like this bothers me regardless of the racial group or orientation the slur was made against. But hell, Booker T called hogan the n-word so whatever. Heck, Moe in my sig had racially insensitive shorts during their day.

It's probably best not to pay attention to my rant. I've been in a foul mood all day anyway so I am just running my mouth.
 
Everyone has different levels of offensiveness...mine is low on this because it doesn't affect me....but if I were gay or middle eastern, i wouldn't approve at all

Hey now, I watched South Park last night and they said it was just fine.

:whistle2:#
 
Rob Terry was Rob Terry bad, as usual. If I was Bobby Roode, I'd rip Rob Terry's nuts off for dropping me from 8 feet in the air straight on my face.
 
Is anyone ordering the Dragon Gate USA ppv tomorrow night? If you can, check it out. I was at the show and it was great, some pretty exciting matches. Richards vs. Shingo was awesome.
 
What a weird way to open the show. Dixie's speech came off like some Z-rate Heyman ra-ra-ra deal from Beyond the Mat, and her tone was...frightening. Basically you're either with this new Hogan direction or you're canned. Yeah, that'll do wonders for morale. Then AJ came out and yelled, then Daniels came out and yelled, then they yelled at each other for ever. Thank God Joe came out, shut them up, and then spoke like an actual human being. This world title buildup is just so stupid - for one thing, the angle itself is dumb as it's a friend vs. friend angle for no good reason, then they're throwing this mystery guy thing in, and then it all feels worthless because the focus of THE ENTIRE SHOW isn't about the world champion. Nope. It's about the guy who presently isn't wrestling for them and is built up ON-AIR as the biggest thing going on in the company. So instantly, again, their current storylines come off as completely worthless.

Beer Money vs. BIG ROB and EY was short and pretty bad except for the comeback with Roode. The finish was unbelievably stupid, with EY bringing the belt into the ring - not getting DQed, then hitting his partner with it accidentally and the ref just counted three after he STARED RIGHT AT EY WITH THE BELT IN HIS HANDS. God this was dumb, and it didn't help anyone. They said that Big Rob screwed up to I guess build up him leaving the group, but it was EY's fault - if he hadn't brought the belt in, none of it would have happened. Also, if TBI is suspended, WHY ARE THEY STILL ON THIS SHOW!?

The Meanest Girls 2 was awful. This new TBP group is terrible. Lacey has some presence, Madison has none, and Velvet is just being dragged down by this group. Then Machismo did a promo where he literally thought he was Randy Savage. This was somehow not the dumbest promo of the segment - that honor went to the Wolfe/Angle thing where each guy wound up either talking over one another or just having their audio muted because they tried to splice in Angle "on the phone" with Desmond killing Deaner with one move, and none of it meant anything because the Angle stuff was clearly done later, and Wolfe's promo was full of stupid lines. Theoretically, the idea of Wolfe killing a guy with just one move leading to him cutting a promo on Angle who is suffering from a serious injury and trying to respond is good - the execution was horrible. Way too much happened here.

AJ vs. Daniels being a swerve for the mystery attacker deal was okay. What I hated about this was Joe's stupid purple gloves. Seriously, could they not find some white gloves? He looked completely ridiculous with those things on. Tara-Hamada was okay, I guess. Nothing special at all though, and it was weird for it to be face vs. face. I think, I'm not really sure what Tara is. Then she brawled with Kong, so the match seemed meaningless, and then they announced Tara vs. Kong for the first time ever...in a cage at the PPV. I take umbrage at your previous assertion but cannot be arsed to respond appropriately. This wasn't helped by the announcement being made by Tara, who cuts awful promos.

Then Foley and Abyss did some weird deal to turn Mick face that went on forever, but was amusing. Then Lashley killed the top contender to the X Title, Homicide, in like a minute, which meant nothing since he had to go save his wife from Steiner. So Cide comes off like a loser, Lashley gained nothing with the win, and the Steiner-Lashley fight in the back was lame.

Oddly, they announced a knockouts six-girl tag for all the KOs gold, then shot the angle for it with Taylor beating Madison in another one of those worthless wrestling match thingies leading to ODB saving Tayor and Sarita from being attacked by TBP and their newest prop - a giant pink and black dil... police baton.

Finally, AJ vs. Daniels happened. For whatever reason, Joe was still the ref despite ATTACKING ONE OF THE GUYS IN THE MATCH earlier in the show. And despite that, if Daniels fought back here, he, not Joe, could be axed from the PPV. Weird. What was also odd was AJ selling the ribs due to the attack before...then doing his big dropkick and posing afterwards like nothing was wrong. Ugh. I remember Rude getting his ribs hurt in the iron man against Steamboat and he posed - IN PAIN. And it was great. This was the opposite of that. Not the match - that was quite good if a bit short, but that bit of non-selling bugged me.

For whatever reason, this didn't end the show. Nope, Team 3D's match was apparently more important, even though they aren't on the PPV and the guys in the prior segment are, you know - MAIN EVENTING IT! For whatever reason, this got more time than said match involving main event-level acts. The match was fine, but nothing special, and certainly not worth the top spot on the show. Then they kinda turn 3D, but not really. SHADES OF GREY!

Quotes -
Dixie - When you question things in this company, you’re questioning me. And I cannot allow that to happen. You can choose to not support me, but you’ll need to find a new place to work.
AJ - There’s been a lot of changes in TNA, but let me make one thing clear - I’M AJ STYLES AND I’M TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Ever since I’ve won the title, there have been changes in my life - POSITIVE CHANGES. Who ever thought that HULK HOGAN would be part of the TNA family!? (fans chant Hogan) WE’RE ON A NEW PLAYING FIELD. A WHOLE NEW LEVEL BAYBEE!
I GOTTA TELL YOU, I BEEN DREAMING ABOUT BEING AT THIS LEVEL FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS! BUT WHERE THERE’S POSITIVES, THERE’S NEGATIVES! When I won this, I made it clear I was a fighting champion - anytime, anyplace, anywhere! THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS SOMEONE’S BEEN LURKING IN THE SHADOW, HIDING OUT IN THE LITTLE DARKNESS AND JUMPING ME! I’M GONNA GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME OUT HERE, MAN UP! I DON’T CARE WHETHER YOU’RE FOE OR FRIEND! MAN UP! GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT AND TRY TO TAKE WHAT’S MINE! (Daniels comes out)
Taz - JOE WAS RIGHT!
Tenay - AJ CALLS OUT THE SNEAK ATTACKER AND… HIS BEST FRIEND DANIELS ANSWERS!?
Daniels - It’s interesting to me that you’d say FOE OR FRIEND and I’m confused as to why you’d use those words.
AJ - I DON’T HAVE TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO DO!
Daniels - I THINK YOU DO! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS THAT I’M THE GUY WHO’S BEEN ATTACKING YOU!? BECAUSE JOE TOLD YOU!? ARE YOU THAT GULLIBLE!? Or can you be that stupid!? LOOK AT YOU - YOU’RE SO ARROGANT! FOR SEVEN YEARS, YOU’VE BEEN THE FACE AND THE FUTURE OF THIS COMPANY! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT!? ALONG THE WAY, YOU’VE BEEN PAMPERED! CODDLED! AND YEAH, YOU’RE A LITTLE SPOILED! YOU’VE ALWAYS GOTTEN SPECIAL TREATMENT! LOOK AT ME - WE CAME INTO TNA AT THE SAME TIME, AND WHAT DID I GET!? NOTHING! I GOT NOTHING HANDED TO ME! LET’S BE 100% HONEST - I AM EVERY BIT THE WRESTLER YOU ARE! These people know it and you KNOW IT! THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND I! EVERY TIME YOU WERE DOWN, THE COMPANY HELPED YOU UP. EVERY TIME I WAS UP, THE COMPANY PUSHED ME DOWN! NOW DIXIE SAYS THERE’S GONNA BE A CHANGE IN TNA, WELL MAYBE MY SITUATION WILL CHANGE, BUT I THINK IF THERE’S ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE BACK, IT’S GONNA BE ANOTHER SEVEN YEARS IN HELL FOR ME!
AJ - Is that how it is!? YOU HAVE NEVER AS LONG AS WE’VE BEEN FRIENDS, HAVE NEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT! NEVER! LET ME ASK YA SOMETHING, CHRIS! IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN’T SAY TO ME!? (Joe comes out)
Joe - AJ, you wanna know if there’s anything he can’t say to you? HE’S WORKING YOU! Daniels, you’re a bald-faced liar! These are hard truths to accept, but this man has been lying to you his entire friendship. You may see a friend, but I see a man who is jealous of you. Who always has been jealous of you and always will be jealous of you. There’s one reason you and I aren’t friends - you have something I want, and I want to be the best in the world, and to be that, you must be the TNA World champion! You see AJ, I have no problem standing here and telling you that face-to-face and I don’t need to run around and attack you backstage like some cowardly punk!
Daniels - I DIDN’T ATTACK AJ! IF I WANNA BEAT AJ, I CAN DO IT IN THIS RING! AND THERE’S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!
AJ - Is that how you feel? YOU THINK YOU’RE THE BEST!? HOW BAD YA WANNA FIND OUT!? IF YOU WANTED A PIECE OF ME, ALL YA HAD TO DO WAS ASK!? LET’S SETTLE THIS TONIGHT!!! (Crowd goes YEAAAAHHHHH!”) LET’S PUT OUR FRIENDSHIP ASIDE AND DO THINGS THE WAY THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE - WITH A WINNER AND A LOSER!
Tenay - AT TURNING POINT, IT’LL BE A THREE WAY FOR THE WORLD TITLE, BUT TONIGHT, IT’S ABOUT PROVING WHO’S THE BEST!
Tenay - STORM’S GOT THE BOOZER CRUISER!
Taz - I love it! They sell those things in orange!?
Taz - Last week, Beer Money jumped World Elite while they were in their astronaut jumpsuits!
Taz - Brutus Magnus DA-RILLED the referee!
Taz - Think Rob went to the gym today?
Taz - Big Rob is a big guy.
Tenay - Yes, AND WHETHER IT’S CNN HEADLINE NEWS OR JIMMY FALLON NBC, EVERY WIRE SERVICE IN THE WORLD IS DOCUMENTING THE HULK HOGAN-TNA PARTNERSHIP!
Taz - There’s the only part of Big Rob that doesn’t have muscles - his head!
Tenay - ERIC JUST HIT HIS PARTNER WITH THE GLOBAL BELT! (in front of the ref, ref counts 3 anyway)
Tenay - THERE’S MAGNUS AND WILLIAMS! WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THE FINES AND SUSPENSIONS!
Taz - I don’t know what’s worse - the beat down or those horrible sweat pants.
Tenay - BOY THAT IS ONE COCKY BUNCH!
Velvet - THEY’RE MAKING A MONSTER MOVIE AND YOU’RE THE STAR!
ODB - I’m making a movie, and they’re looking for slut doubles!
Lethal - JUST THE MENTION OF THAT NAME…HULK HOGAN…DIDJA FEEL THAT!? NOBODY HAS A BIGGER HISTORY WITH THE HULLKSTER THAN MYSELF! WE’VE BEEN SIDE-BY-SIDE! I WANNA BE THE FIRST WELCOME THE HULKSTER TO HIS NEW HOME IN TNA! What better way to do that an make an announcement of my own - in the new home of the Mega Powers, you’re gonna see the start of the Black Machismo Invitational. Anyone with legendary status who wants to see if they’ve got it - Birdman, Snake Man, BUNDY, FLAIR, YOU CAN ALL COME! NEXT WEEK THE FREAKOUT INVITATIONAL STARTS!
JB - Mick, YOU HAVEN’T RESPONDED TO MY TWEETS!
Mick - I said that’s all the people needed to know. You’d think that as Exec Shareholder, I’d be informed. Hulk Hogan…are you a Hulkamanic?
JB - You’re my favorite.
Mick - Liar. Your lips say Mick but your eyes say Hulkamania. A few weeks ago, you were shocked when Shelley said that there was a camera in my office…is there something you’re afraid of?
JB - No, I really just wanted to talk to you.
Mick - Have a nice day…Hulkamaniac!
Taz - Kurt challenged Desmond to a street fight, and we got just that (clip airs of Angle clotheslining Desmond)
Wolfe - I WANT EVERYBODY TO TALK A LOOK AT THAT MOPPET IN THE RING!
Angle - AND NEXT TIME THAT’LL BE ME IN THE RING!
Wolfe - THERE’S ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE FANGS OF THE WOLF! WHAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND IS WHY ALL THESE WANKERS WANT TO GET IN THE RING ME! YOU’RE ALL THE SAME! IT’S EASY TO GET IN THE RING, BUT GETTING OUT…NOT SO MUCH! NOW, Mr. Angle, or perhaps after what I did to you, perhaps I should call you Mr. Mangled.
Angle - KEEP ON TALKING, DESMOND!
Wolfe - I know you’re in a neck brace, Mr. Mangled, but I don’t understand why at Turning Point, you want to suffer more pain and agon…
(at the same time)Angle - IT’S GONNA TAKE MORE THAN THAT!
Wolfe - I’LL GIVE IT TO YO…
Angle - It’ll be a pleasure, Desmond.
Wolfe - I CAN SMELL THE BLOOD, AND LET’S JUST SAY THAT I’M HUNGRY LIKE A WOLF.
Angle - Nice sunglasses.
Tenay - THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, KURT!
Ray - Before we talk about Rhino, let’s talk about Hulk Hogan. HOGAN IN TNA! MAN I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SAY THOSE WORDS! Dixie, you got the biggest set of grapefruits in wrestling! Onto Rhino… I WAS GONNA TALK ABOUT HIM AND HERE HE COMES.
Rhino - I know I’m right. How’d your match go against the Guns? Yeah! They still found a way for you guys to lose? YEAH, BAD CALLS HAPPEN, but was it a mistake or just a mistake? You’ve got Morgan and Hernandez, who’ve been taking me out! IS THAT A COINCIDENCE!?
Ray - He’s crazy. YOU’RE CRAZY!
Devon - Morgan, Hernandez, you’re phenomenal young talent, but we’re looking forward to tonight’s match.
Ray - A FAMOUS MAN SAID TO BE THE MAN, YOU’VE GOT TO BEAT THE MAN. WELL, TO BE THE TEAM, YOU GOTTA BEAT THE TEAM! WE ARE TEAM 3D, COME AND GET US!
Taz - Joe’s got the shirt and the gloves in case there’s bloodshed.
Taz - For a minute, I thought Hamada had the World Elite pants on - got nervous!
Taz - Hamada’s got zeal. It’s a big word, well, not really. It’s a four letter word - one of many I use.
Tenay - I BET!
Tenay - WHAT DOES HULK HOGAN THINK ABOUT THE TNA KNOCKOUTS!?
Taz - It’s non-stop talking in the locker room!
Foley - I didn’t come here empty-handed, I’ve got a gift-a-roonie for someone very special. THE MONSTER ABYSS! Come on out here!
Taz - Gift-a-roonie? That’s what he called it!?
Tenay - What’s this surprise-a-roonie all about!?
Foley - Hold on, I know you don’t trust me. The last time I brought out a framed photo…it got cracked over your skull. So I’m gonna put the gift-a-roonie down over here, Chris. Listen. You and I went through a lot at BFG. I’ve been through a lot in my career and I know you’ve been through a lot in yours. The only time, with all the tings I’ve said, the only time I’ve felt guilty while I was saying those things was when I said them to you, Chris. When I said you were a cheap ripoff and a carbon copy and deep down, I never felt that way. Lemme explain - I’m not gonna lie, when I found that my Tweet and Tweak illustration was destroyed, and when I found out it was you, I was angry. But then I realized I had an opportunity - people asked me about you, and I watched as you tore the roof down - not only in the Impact Zone, but in arenas! And I knew you were tough and good. DAMN GOOD, and there’s only one way to find out how good someone else is - not by watching them. It’s like a war correspondent - they don’t do it from their hotels! WHAT I’M SAYING IS THAT YOU’RE AS TOUGH AS I THOUGHT YOU ARE, but you’re not as good as I thought you were. You know why? Because you’re even better. And tougher. And when someone’s done in this business, aside form money, is their legacy. Chris, I didn’t make it where I am on my own - I wanted to be a cross between Brody and Dynamite, and maybe I wasn’t as good as either on their own, but by putting them together, I became great. I nibbled off of Harley Race’s plate, and when it came to Terry Funk’s plate, I DEVOURED IT! You’ve only scratched the surface of what Abyss is about, and when someone says hey, does that remind you of yourself, I’m not gonna take it as an insult, I’m gonna take that as an honor! If I told you the hardcore legend had a gift-a-roonie… (it’s a picture of Mick and Abyss) Wait. Cut the music. I’ll admit it - I put you through a hell of a test at BFG, but you’ve got one more test in you. Next week on Impact, in that very ring, it’s gonna be you and Dr. Stevie. And if you pin Dr. Stevie, he is gone from TNA!
JB - I AM HERE WITH SCOTT STEINER! What are you thoughts on the arrival of Hulk Hogan?
Steiner - YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF HULK HOGAN AND BIG POPPA PUMP! WE WERE IN THE NWO, AND KNOWING HIM, HE’S GONNA PUT THE YOUNG PUNKS IN PLACE! THEN I’LL HAVE HIM JOIN THE MEM! AS FAR AS YOUNG PUNKS GO, LASHLEY’S BRINGING HIS WIFE FROM RINGSIDE! WHY? SHE WANTS TO BE MY NUMBER 1 FREAK! SCREAM OUT MY NAME! SO WHETHER IT HAPPENS HERE IN THE MEM LOCKER ROOM OR SOME FANCY HOTEL, REMEMBER THIS - YOU CAN’T STOP THE LUST OF A WOMAN!
Morgan - I’m a Hulkamaniac - when I was a kid, I didn’t want to be Bill Cosby or Ralph Kramden, I wanted to be Hulk Hogan!
Steiner - WHAT’S BOBBY GONNA DOW HEN HE FINDS OUT THAT HE CAN’T SATISFY YOU!?
Tenay - HE GETS HIS WIFE KRISTAL AWAY FROM STEINER!
Tenay - HOMICIDE JUST SHOVED EARL HEBNER!
Tenay - HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT!?
(as Madison straddles the ropes)Taz - That’s kinda nasty in a good way.
Taz - SHE’S ATTACKING HER WITH…SOME KIND OF PINK BATON!
DW - NEXT WEEK, TNA LIVE INVADES SCRANTON, PA!
Morgan - 3D, you’re the best tag team in history. But that’s the key word - HISTORY.
Hernandez - ME GUSTA!
Morgan - Yeah, what he said!
Lauren - Dr. Stevie, Mick was PLAYING YOU THE ENTIRE TIME! And he booked you to face Abyss next week.
Stevie - Nobody plays me - Mick, you do not play me like a pawn. NOR DO YOU DO THAT TO DAFFNEY AND IF YOU THINK I’LL LET ABYSS BEAT ME, YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR HEAD EXAMINED! I have to take Abyss out by myself. Final warning - back out now, because trust me, you don’t want to know what I have in store for you next week. BWAHAHAHAHA!
Tenay - NEXT WEEK, WE’RE GONNA BE JOINED BY SUPER DAVE MELTZ…OSBOURNE!
Taz - Brother Ray is 100% - and I know this because he told me. Then put himself over a lot.
Tenay - So nothing new with Brother Ray?
Rhino - COME ON BUBBA, WHACK HIM! TAKE THE CHAIR, BUBBA!
Ray - DAMN YOU RHINO! I SHOULD HIT YOU! GET OUT! GET THE FREAK OUTTA HERE, RHINO!
 
They are really killing AJ's title run. Plus the fact that they seem to make up the rules as they go along. Like Jay mentioned in his recap on the Styles/Daniels match. Daniels would get canned if he hits Joe but Joe is allowed to jump Daniels and still refs the match later in the night?

Tonights show just felt dumb. Poor writing along with poor editing. I also think the Randy Salvage bit has been totally played out. Jay Lethal needs a new gimmick. Now.

Ring of Honor match listings for the next 3 shows! Cornette is making a huge difference!

Jim Cornette opened the night with a promo. This set of tapings will feature a Pick Six contenders series. Each hour will have a one-on-one match with the winner receiving $2500 and becoming eligible for a title shot. Tonight’s ROH World Championship match will be a four-way match with Austin Aries defending against Roderick Strong, Davey Richards, and Kenny Omega. Brian guessed that this promo and the last two matches taped will be the first HDNet episode.

1) Delirious vs. Kenny King
2) Tyler Black vs. Sonjay Dutt.
3) Chris Hero vs. Kyle O’Reilly
4) Necro Butcher vs. Joey Ryan
5) Colt Cabana vs. Claudio Castagnoli.
6 ) The Briscoes vs. El Generico & Kevin Steen.
7) Austin Aries vs. Davey Richards vs. Roderick Strong vs. Kenny Omega

I only watched the first half of Impact, and that was enough. I really hated Dixie Carter's speech. She came off like a tyrant, basically saying "bend over and take Hogan's shit or GTFO". I can see a lot of guys getting pissed and/or jumping ship after that.

I also thought that putting the WORLD CHAMP in a match in the middle of the show and then having it turn into a swerve was stupid. I thought that would have served as the show's closing moment, but TNA logic strikes again.

Here's hoping Smacdown will be good. I'm actually kinda looking forward to the Rey/Batista feud.

I watched that speech just right now and goddamn I hate that bitch.
 
black machismos promo last night was great, especially the hand thing he kept doing, big poppa pumps also was pretty good, he didn't mess anything up
 
Ring of Honor has basically gone to ranking challengers in order to logically build World Title matches. It makes sense for me.

Over the past several weeks, ROH officials and Executive Producer Jim Cornette have been working behind the scenes to address World Champion Austin Aries and his “Austin Aries Lucky Lottery”, which has been universally viewed as a farce, and ended with Tyler Black falling victim to a vicious fireball attack.

ROH officials unanimously agreed on the formation of a new and objective ranking system which would base championship matches on the merits of a competitor’s record, at the same time eliminating the chance for unfair or bogus title defenses, and creating a new sense of competition between wrestlers who are “climbing the ladder”.

It is with these ideals in mind that we are happy to proudly introduce the “Pick 6” Contenders Series.

To begin, twelve competitors have been selected by ROH on HDNet Executive Producer Jim Cornette to compete in six singles matches with the winners being seeded by ROH officials from one-to-six. Once the initial ranking is established, the “Pick 6” Contenders Series will function as follows:

- Only wrestlers ranked in the “Pick 6” are eligible to challenge for the ROH World Championship.
- The higher a wrestler is seeded, the more leverage he has in determining the scheduling of championship matches.
- Wrestlers securing victories in “Pick 6” matchups earn a match bonus.
- Once the rankings are set, wrestlers can only enter the “Pick 6” Standings by defeating a ranked wrestler.
- An unranked wrestler that defeats a “Pick 6” Contender assumes that wrestler’s spot, and everyone lower slides down one rank. The lower a wrestler is ranked, the more they have to lose.

ROH officials are encouraged by the simplicity offered by this system and look forward to a establishing a new level of competition around the greatest prize in our sport – The Ring of Honor World Championship.

That actually sounds pretty cool.
Hopefully, they don't have too many people always challenging the Pick 6.

It does make undercard matches seem to mean more than just "put these guys out there".

That sounds similar to how they picked guys in the early days of the promotion, which is a good thing.

The company is also now having guys wrestle multiple times a night. This way we get to see the wrestlers more than once every three weeks.

It used to be that Ring of Honor would record three weeks of shows per day and if Bryan Danielson wrestled on week 01, you wouldn't see Bryan Danielson again until at least week 04, or possibly even until week 06.

I know that might not make sense... and really it doesn't but that's how they've been doing it until now.

Your heeling is as impressive as a Dean Malenko promo.

From TMZ: Jericho tells TMZ, "After seeing the video I realize some inappropriate comments were made and I apologize if I offended anybody."

I can't fuckin' STAND the "...if I offended anybody" line. What a fuckin' cop-out. He was offensive, bottom line.

I honestly didn't find it offensive Myke. I really didn't. Maybe it's because I think making fun of gays and the Dutch is all right, but that's just me.

The point is there are other people in the world than you, many of whom aren't like you.

I'm not saying you have to find it offensive, but it's major league foolishness to think that it's not offensive to either homosexuals.
