Ah ok. I'm usually watching Superstars, but I guess last night was the first time I noticed.
On another note, our good friend Maffew has unknowingloy been postng new Botchamanias for quite sometime (I think the last on I like was around 70 or something). If you like I can start showing them off on the thread again.
Here's the newest Tough Talk Radio with JIM CORNETTE! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CDMNALSF
"My job in TNA was to protect everyone, the fans, the wrestlers, from Vince Russo."
"Why in the flying does Vince Russo have a job in wrestling? He doesn't draw on PPV or on house shows. No one cares enough to make an emotional investment because it's all made to appear funny."
"He's a genius in one way. Despite never having success. Killing WCW and anchoring TNA, he's great at selling himself and making people believe he knows what he's doing! Somehow, he convinced Dixie that ED FERRARA WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION!"

Ahh WoW. That game is great. I'm still hooked on it. I can't wait for the Cataclysm to come out. Blizzard is going to get so much of my money soon, between this, Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2.
[quote name='neocisco']Getting your outfit ready for the Whip It! premiere?[/QUOTE]
Hahahaha. All the local skaters are at the premiere tonight.
I might go see it on Friday, but I know pretty much everyone in the movie who isn't (1) a professional actor/actress or (2) a resident of the West Coast, so it'll be a bit surreal for me.
Though being a grown adult male going to see a film so far out of my demographic might be good for a chuckle.
That was an okay show - nothing really lit my world on fire tonight, unlike usual. I do like the idea of Regal as Interim GM though - hopefully it hastens his ascent to ECW Champion, because I'm tired of Christian's reign and want Regal to finally hold something that is kinda, sorta a world title. Striker's commentary was great - beyond the awesome puro references, I liked that he was happy traffic appeared to flowing smoothly during the overhead shot of the city. Oh, and Atlas being unable to pronounce "Washington" continues to rule.
Quotes -
Regal - I regret to inform you that our esteemed ECW GM has been injured in a car accident. The WWE board of directors has made me interim GM based on my experience. I can’t make any championship matches, but I can change the main event. It will no longer be Christian vs. Zack Ryder. It will be Christian vs. Zack Ryder…and Kozlov, and Jackson…and myself.
Tony - IT’S THE ABAHAM WASHIN SHOW, AND NOW, ABRAM WASSHIINNNN! Tonight, he’ll be joined by the Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison!
Abe - Where’d you get that shirt!?
Morrison - WWESHOP.COM!
Morrison - IT’S GREAT TO BE BACK IN ECW! Tony, I love the laugh! (Tony laughs) I might save that as my ringtone. Abe, I’m gonna drop some knowledge on you about your show. I like what you do here…
Abe - YOU DO!? I mean, of course you do. John, you had one of ECW’s original talk shows - the Dirt Sheet.
John - And if this was the Dirt Sheet, I’d be you, and Miz would be Tony Atlas.
Tony - I’M AWESOME! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Abe - Tony, you’re not that awesome!
John - I shouldn’t say that - you’re in the hall of fame, and he never will be. Miz does remind me of Dolph - know what hey have in common?
Abe - They’re white?!
John - Yeah, but they’re so delusional and they think they’ll win gold this Sunday. Dolph is talented, and if he ever becomes half as good as he thinks he is, he’ll be a champion someday, but it won’t be Sunday. (Dolph comes out)
Abe - Tony, are you booking guests on the show now!?
Tony - HUBBA NO!
Abe - Dolph Londron, this isn’t the set of Rocky IV, don’t make me have to go Apollo Creed on you!
John - Did Drago kill him?
Abe - GOOD POINT! But we’re out of time!
John - Say goodnight, Mr. Ziggles! (Tony kind of laughs)
Tony - GOOD NIGHT, MR. ZIGGLER! HAHAHAHA!
Regal - FOR SOME REASON, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DOESN’T AGREE WITH MY CHANGE OF THE MAIN EVENT! So now it’s us against Christian, Yoshi Tatsu, Tommy Dreamer, AND THE GOLDUST!
(during an overhead shot of the lit-up city)Mathews - Boston is electric for ECW!
Striker - Traffic’s moving nicely, too.
Mathews - Thanks, Doppler.
Striker - A CIVIL WAR HAS BROKEN OUT ON PLANET ECW! A CLEAR LINE HAS BEEN DRAWN BETWEEN HEROES AND VILLAINS!
Josh - Hell in a Cell, brought to you by Teenage Mutant Turtles: Smash Up!
Striker - I like the inflection on SMASH - kinda like Christopha Walken!
(after a top rope chop)Striker - THE BURNING HAMMER OF YOSHI TATSU!
Striker - Zack Ryder hasn’t had carbs since 2006.
(after Kozlov low bridges Christian and he goes to the floor)Striker - I didn’t see anything.
Josh -Then how did Christian wind up on the floor?
Striker - Do you want me to hit you with a pillowcase full of bars of soap?
Striker - HERE COMES THE FALCON ARROW, YOSHI TATSU!
Striker - YOSHI TATSU HAS JUST PINNED REGAL!
Striker - KICK TO THE DOME FROM THE PURORESU PRINCE!
Info on the Warrior-WWE lawsuit due to the DVD WWE put out years ago -
The Warrior vs. WWE suit is finished as Judge Douglas L Rayes ruled that Warrior could not sue for damages over WWE disparaging him in the Self-Destruction of Ultimate Warrior DVD because Warrior himself had disparaged WWE in the past as well. Basically, both sides had signed an agreement stating that they wouldn't say bad things about each other, and then both did so. Warrior was forced to pay WWE nearly $20,000 in attorney's fees.
Chris Nowinski on Fan 590 in Toronto said he believed brain injuries were 99 percent of the reason that Chris Benoit killed himself and his family. He said his was the most damaged brain of anyone they'd seen. He said the steroids could have played a part in that they do make a person aggressive, and most people with Benoit's injuries only kill themselves and he killed others. He said wrestlers he'd talked to said Benoit was acting really weird for months prior to the killing, crying in inappropriate situations and refusing to call matches because he had trouble remembering what to do in the ring.
AJ came out with his new World title. He said after seven long years he had finally won the TNA Heavyweight title which has only been around for two years and four months. He said he was dedicating this title to his friend Sting, who, he noted, was more than a friend.
And i love how Warrior sued WWE and the judge was like "eh....they did you wrong...you did them wrong...yall both need to just agree to not say naughty words about each other. Now warrior, you owe WWE 20k!"
Wow, crappy ECW as usual, but the crowd was the worst. I would think for an east coast crowd there would have been some fun chants, but nothing, not even a Mr. Ziggles chant. Weak. I was hoping for a where's our refund or this sucks chant. Hmm...perhaps that's only in Philly and NY.
The company is no longer working with Sal Hamaoui, who handled all the editing and copying of DVDs, supplying the cameras and shooting the stars, as well as his home was the place where they did most of the editing. Hamaoui is going to law school and ROH is going to take the DVD process in house, which will likely mean several changes. Hamaoui and his FIP promotion will be working with Dragon Gate USA. Not sure what that means regarding who does the announcing on the DVDs going forward since they would put the voice tracks on in Hamaoui’s studio.
An update on Bobby Lashley and MMA. Prize Fight Promotions, which is the company he’s under contract to, which has continually delayed his agreed upon fight with Ron Waterman, is negotiating transferring his contract to Strikeforce. It was not a done deal at last word although Lashley expected it to happen and people told him he would be fighting on the 11/7 CBS show, but with only four matches, it’s going to be hard to fit him in. You can make the argument that Lashley would mean more from a curiosity and ratings standpoint than Gegard Mousasi. If the goal is you have to get ratings, not that Lashley is a bonanza, but he’d mean more. If CBS has committed to multiple shows and you want to expose a future champion, then you’d have to go with Mousasi, who is younger and a much farther along fighter who has the potential to be one of the best in the sport for years. Scott Coker described the negotiations as “Just initial dialog. Let’s see where it goes.” Lashley and Strikeforce were talking a deal several months ago before Lashley took an on paper better deal with a less stable company. Strikeforce’s idea was to groom him by using him as a regular draw on the Challengers shows first, against progressively tougher opponents as opposed to fast tracking him to top matches because of his name. TNA wants to promote Lashley’s MMA fights on their television show. The idea for Lashley has always been cross-promotional in the sense they can offer to Strikeforce (this wouldn’t happen with UFC because UFC would insist Lashley stop pro wrestling if they signed him) promotion of their show before about 2 million (live and the replay showing) people weekly, a large percentage of whom wouldn’t know of the show, and it’s an audience that knows of Lashley to begin with. 10-12 years ago it would have worked better. The being a real life tough guy thing in pro wrestling is not important at all today to fans, as it was until around the last decade. Through the 80s, one of the big questions that fans always asked was, “If it was real, who would win between???” and fans today see wrestling as entertainment and not that these are necessarily real life great fighters. But it’s hard to say what a bad loss in MMA would mean to Lashley in pro wrestling because in the U.S., there’s no precedent. My gut says it’ll hurt, though, because it kills his gimmick.
The company was trying to get Terry Funk to come in for Bound for Glory to have some involvement in the Abyss vs. Foley match.
Angle is currently filming another independent film in Pittsburgh called “River of Darkness.” It’s a low budget horror film. Bruce Koehler is the producer, who also cast Angle as the star in “End Game,” the movie where Angle met Jenna Morasca and the rest is forgotten history. Angle plays a sheriff. Angle’s manager, Dave Hawk, is the assistant producer. The movie is about a guy who killed three giant brothers, who then come back to life 30 years later to get revenge. Two of the giant brothers are played by Sid Eudy and Kevin Nash. This all sounds like something you would make up for comedy.
The lawsuit filed by the former Jim Hellwig, now known as Warrior, against WWE for “The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior” DVD ended more than a week ago with the case being thrown out by Judge Douglas Rayes in Superior Court in Arizona. The suit was filed nearly four years ago, and it was not a slander lawsuit, because much of what was said in the documentary would be considered fair comment, but filed because Warrior claimed WWE had violated a settlement agreement in a 2000 lawsuit (where WWF paid Warrior a big settlement when he sued over claiming a marketing campaign with the phrase “Always Believe” that he came up with was then used without compensation or permission by the company, and he also claimed wrongful termination based on being fired in 1996 after no-showing a few house shows the weekend his father, who he had no relationship with, passed away, and also after he and McMahon had a business dispute regarding his comic book) where both sides agreed not to publicly disparage each other. Rayes ruled that Warrior had no case on those grounds because he had made publicly disparaging remarks about WWE before the DVD came out, which I always figured was going to bite him in the end on those grounds. Warrior acknowledged the loss in court on his web site, saying, “There are no guarantees in litigation. None. Of course when you pursue these things, you want things to turn out in your favor. So does the other side. Cases are made and cards fall where they may.” Warrior got about $900,000 in the settlement in the prior case. This time, he was ordered when the case was thrown out that he also has to pay the WWE’s $19,000 in legal bills from the case.
James pinned Mendes in 3:34 with a spin kick. You know the speech about Mendes not being a wrestler. This was that times ten. There are many things in this business Mendes can do. She can manage. She can model. She can ring announce. She can probably hold a tag rope without tagging in. But doing a singles match after all the years she’s been training is not one of them. This wasn’t quite as bad as when James had to work with Kim after Kim was knocked out, but aside from that, it was as bad a WWE TV match as you’ll ever see that isn’t Kane vs. Khali.
Much better show than last week. The pace was slower and the content was much better, even if the matches came off as secondary due to being either too short or simply not announced. The Foley-Abyss opening was great - I'm glad they went with something more important than a ing picture by turning the feud's focus from that to Abyss idolizing Mick, and Mick resenting him for being a low-rent Foley. Foley referencing history made this seem more important, although just saying "FALLING OFF A CAGE" probably would have been wiser than Hell in a Cell given the PPV on Sunday. Still, he did great work, as did Abyss, and they made their PPV match seem really important.
Having a five-way ladder match out of nowhere was stupid, but at least the guys didn't kill themselves like they did in that stupid one a couple of years ago over a reindeer head or a turkey suit, or whatever it was for during one of the '07 holiday shows. Stupid to have it go only 4 minutes, too. Creed puking was sick, but the face plant off the rama was nasty, too.
Big Stevie Cool vs. Big Daddy Cool was great while it lasted. Daffney had THE hottest outfit on that made her rack look even more massive, and Nash and Stevie worked well together. They actually kind of made STEVIE RICHARDS seem like he could beat Nash. Not sure where they go from here though. Maybe a stip match for the title at BFG.
The Sting-AJ deal came off as a bit of an afterthought. The World Champion being on the show so little compared to guys like Eric Young is absurd, and I hated the Who Wants to be a Millionaire music they played during this. And then AJ started crying and seemed like the biggest wuss ever...until he did that AND said he loved Sting a million times. Tenay came off as a great actor compared to him here, and such a thing seems impossible. The PPV is TWO WEEKS AGO and the WORLD TITLE MATCH has gotten maybe ten minutes of buildup over four hours of TV. Unreal.
EY schooling Booker in the back was absurd. It being stated that EY is above Booker is mind-boggling to me. EY being presented as being above anyone is impossible to believe since he's been treated as a low-rent Eugene for so long, and now he's just a low-rent Jericho without any of the credibility or charisma. I did like that they had the WE beat up the Mafia though - they do need to be made to look like more than a B-team, although I again question the wisdom of doing this warring factions deal so soon into the alliance since people really don't care much about the WE and its members should be successfully rebuilt before being made to look like equals to the main event-level guys.
ODB-Kong was fine. I loved the commentary more than the match itself. They did a fantastic job building up the Tara-Kim Couture match that A - won't be happening at the next PPV or B - in their company. I think Tara's got ADD or something - poor girl can't pay attention to anything for longer than a few minutes. Last week it was the KOs tag match, and this week, it was doing commentary. Great brawl afterwards.
Angle-Hernandez did something to rebuild Hernandez after being booked like a moron for weeks. He nearly beat Angle here, and while it is stupid to give away the first match between them without much build, this was a great match while it lasted and made Hernandez seem like he was on par with one of the top guys in the company.
The debut of Lacey was okay, I guess. Nothing she did looked all that good, but she seems to have some presence and was good-ish on the mic. Well below Velvet though. Then they announced 3D and Lashley in YET ANOTHER UNANNOUNCED MATCH facing the British Invasion and Rhino in the main event, which was apparently so important that it, again, wasn't announced at any point in the show. Ray just said "we're gonna face these guys" and then it was time for the match. They didn't even get a graphic at the beginning of the show.
At least the match did what it was supposed to - build up the tag team ladder match...between some set of teams...at BFG and setup the Joe-Lashley match at the PPV. Lashley looked great here - getting in impressive power spots with everyone, although I hope he stops doing the Shock Treatment with the knee bump - it seems like that's something he could get hurt on, and it's one of Abyss's main moves. Joe choking Lashley out, with Lashley tapping quickly and then passing out, was kinda weird since it was so abrupt, but it put Joe over as a big deal again in the main event scene. I also like the buildup of the rear naked choke vs. the dragon sleeper in the feud.
They've booked themselves into a corner with the X title though if they don't have the PPV match be for it. Lashley doing that would fit the idea of him helping TNA take gold from the Mafia and further the whole "he's gonna win gold in BOTH SPORTS" deal they pushed when Dixie did the promo on Impact, so I hope they do that. It would make the belt seem like a major deal if only for one night to have it be contended for in one of the top matches on the company's biggest PPV of the year. Or they can just have Red win it via fluke thanks to Lashley's help, opening up the inevitable big X division multi-man match on the show to be for the title. That's a nice step up from it usually just being a competition for "THIS IS AWE-SOME!" chants.

Mick - Hold on there, did I hear you say that I owe you - you who have taken so much from me as far as your career, look, and your persona, feel that I OWE YOU. What do I owe you for? 24 plus years for blood, sweat and tears that I’ve dedicated to this business!? DO I OWE YOU FOR PAVING THE WAY FOR GUYS LIKE YOU TO MAKE A LIVING! THE FLANNEL SHIRT I PRESENTED TO YOU SO YOU COULD CARRY ON MY HARDCORE TRADITION!? As far as me owing you, that’s not gonna happen.
Abyss - Mick, I wanna make one thing clear - ALL I WAS TRYING TO DO WAS SAVE YOU AGAINST KEVIN! I came to the ring to save you! As far as the Tweet and Tweak picture goes, that was an accident - I went into your office to get the bat to HELP SAVE YOU and I accidentally knocked the picture off the wall. It was my fault, Mick.
Mick - Hold on a second…you’re right, it was an accident. You said the words…YOU CAME INTO MY OFFICE…did you have an invitation? And you took MY BAT!? Did I give you an invtation for that, too!?

Mick - Hold on, Chris… It’s crossed my mind that my actions, although warranted, may have been extreme. You’re not the only one who was hurt - I didn’t get 24 stitches in my head, but I spent HOURS HAVING VIDEOCASSETTE REMOVED FROM MY PALM! This is a peace offering - above and beyond the peace sign on my shirt and the one that was, quite frankly, soaked in your own blood. I bring you this! (Tweet and Tweak pic is shown) It’s a cheap imitation…a rip-off…and if anyone should know about that, IT’S YOU! I’M NOT SAYING YOU’RE NOT A GOOD COMPETITOR AND RIPPED THE ROOF OFF THE IMPACT ZONE! You’ve stolen your share of PPVs and had the Monster’s Ball named after you! BUT WHEN IT COMES TO COMPARISONS BETWEEN YOU AND ME…you’re not even in the same league.

Tenay - What’s that have to do with looking at some photos!?
Taz - Christy’s got a tail on her. Actually, it’s more like a furball. Traci’s got one. Actually, Traci’s bunny ears are bigger.
Tenay - HUGH HEFFNER, THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO YOU. Thank you for all you’ve done for men! The Traci pictorial has been released exclusively on the Playboy site!

Tenay - I lost ya halfway through the sentence.
Taz - SOMEONE LOST A FURBALL IN THE CORNER!
Tenay - AJ, what was going on in your mind between the time you won the title and challenged Sting?
AJ - Sting let me win - that’s why I issued the challenge. I gotta know if I can beat Sting. HE’S THE BEST!
Tenay - You had the title in your grasp - to say you passed the torch is putting it lightly.
Sting - 23 years…I don’t know how many times I’ve been world champion. I’ve wrestled some of the biggest names ever. I’ve done it all. As long as the world title…passing the torch…it just is what it is…
(DRAMATIC MUSIC~! Plays)AJ - Sting, I don’t mean to be disrespectful - the whole passing the torch thing…I get it, but it can be taken in a few ways. Passing the torch and not wanting it anymore…My question is, in Irvine, CA, BFG…are you ready!? I LOVE YOU! If you’re not ready…maybe you shouldn’t come.

And that’s the truth. Actually, we were nasty, rude, and disrespectful! And our behavior was largely due to Angelina!
Madison - Velvet’s right - she turned us into monsters! SHE DID! SHE MADE US DO THINGS THAT WE DIDN’T WANT TO DO! BUT WE WERE AFRAID TO GO AGAINST HER ORDERS, BECAUSE IT WASN’T WORTH THE CONSEQUENCES! BUT NOW! NOW THAT SHE’S GONE! VELVET AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU ALL OUR TRUE COLORS! We want to apologize for every act we’ve committed in the past! We want to start fresh, with a clean slate.

The Chikara match on the card was a technical marvel. I swear for a large portion of that match my mouth was dropped.
I'm watching Impact on my DVR right now (happy I recorded it since its no replay this week) and it is funny to me how the two people I've seen with new ring attire both have some variant of black and gold. I like how Kiyoshi's pants has the World Elite symbol on them and he stop coming out with the face paint.
One thing I saw that was weird to me was how Bashir's finisher looks like a reverse Styles Clash. This looked like it could hurt somebody if it was botched.
