Apparently, the shampoo bottle...went...south...

Anyway, today's AWA show ruled. It had some some early Paul E., about 20 minutes of BILLY JACK STRONG, two Dennis Stamp matches, and the Midnight Rockers against the Rose/Condrey combo of the Midnight Express. Plus, the CASH DOLLAR family was the AWA Fan of the week. Tremendously enjoyable show. It was great to hear Trongard again. I'm going to guess that this show happened before the '88 shows we've seen so far, as the production values are vastly improved compared to the other '88 shows.

Quotes -
Nelson - The Cash Dollar family is the AWA co-fans of the weeks. Stanley Blackburn has an announcement regarding a match between the Midnight Express and the Midnight Rockers.
Stevens - Kevin Kelly is extremely strong, and Nick Kiniski has an amateur background and his family has a strong wrestling background - his father is a former world champion.
Trongard - Nick Kiniski doesn’t do much training in the gym - his training is mainly a 5-6 mile run in the morning.
Trongard - The Destroyer Samoan is exploding on Rice and Steve-O! STEVE-O TAGS IN RICKY RICE!
Donna - This team has an impressive background in wrestling, football, and hockey.
Trongard - You’re talking about the team of Rice and Steve-O.
(after a knife edge chop)Trongard - A judo shot from Dennis Stamp!
Donna - The Kings and Capitols wanted Rice to play hockey for them.
Trongard - The Samoan with what would that be? A piledriver with his own head butt? Flying head butt.
Donna - The Samoans use their heads a lot - I don’t quite know why.
Trongard - Well, it’s the style of the Samoans, but not all of them.
Trongard - THE AWA - THE MAJOR LEAGUE OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING!
(after a dropkick)Donna - Look at how high he gets - it’s amazing!
Trongard - Billy Jack Strong deadlifts 600 pounds and squats 900 .
Stevens - Didn’t Wahoo find this kid?
Trongard - YES, HE DID!
Stevens - Boy, you can tell this kid is strong. He’s got the right name - Strong!
Trongard - WOW, WHAT A SSHOOOOOTT!
Apter - There’s a manager here called Paul E. Dangerously - what are your thoughts on him?
Wahoo - He’s a mouthpiece, he talks for the tag champs, the Midnight Express. I guess they can’t talk too well. He’s intelligent, he does all their contract signings, so you can’t say he’s a dummy. He gets on TV and tells ya how it is. I don’t think without him, the champs wouldn’t be where they are.
Apter - There’s a rookie here called Billy Jack Strong that you’re training - how is he?
Wahoo - Billy Jack Strong’s an Indian fella, he’s like myself - ex-football player. He’s coming along very fast, the people like him, I like him. I’ve trained guys like Ric Flair, I’m not saying I’m the best trainer in the world, but I’ve trained some great ones, and he could be a world champion.
Trongard - Ustinov is strong, and using the word Strong, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone as Strong as Billy Jack Strong!
Stevens - He’s the biggest, strongest guy I’ve ever seen in wrestling or football. He’s the strongest man in the world to me!
Stevens - Don’t sell Dennis Stamp short - he’s a heck of a wrestler!
Trongard - Ustinov hits the ringpost, it would seem like he’s split open, but he isn’t!
Nelson - Let’s go back to Las Vegas with the Midnight Rockers against the Midnight Express!
Dangerously - I GIVE YOU THE ONLY TEAM THAT ROCK ‘N ROLLS PAST MIDNIGHT - RAVISHING RANDY, LOVERBOY DENNIS - THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS!
Trongard - IT’S MIDNIGHT VERSUS MIDNIGHT - THE ROCKERS VERSUS THE EXPRESS!
Trongard - From coast to coast, continent to continent, San Fran to San Salvador - EVERYBODY IS LOOKING IN!
Nick - I would have to say that based on past history, the Rockers should be the favorites here. They haven’t lost a thing since the last time we saw them, and I think the Midnight Express’s days are numbered.
Trongard - I’d agree with you except for one thing - Paul E. Dangerously!
(after two atomic drops on the floor)Nick - They are gonna eat supper standing up for a week!
Trongard - HOW ABOUT BREAKFAST AND LUNCH!?
Nick - YES!
Crowd - PAUL E. SUCKS! PAUL E. SUCKS!
Nick - Would you say that Mr. Dangerously isn’t popular here?
Trongard - You might’ve just won understatement of the year.
Trongard - Marty Jannetty goes post to post with a clothesline!
Nick - Does Paul E. own another jacket besides that one?
Trongard - I wouldn’t know - you ask him.
Nick - All right.
(after a backflip springboard arm drag from Jannetty)Trongard - WOW, WHAT A MOVE!
Nick - Wow, Marty is a consummate professional.
Trongard - Indeed he is.
Trongard - Jannetty with a piledr…BODY SLAM!
Nelson - THE MIDNIGHT ROCKERS OVER THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS! WE HAVE TAG CHAMPIONS WE CAN BE PROUD OF! We got a big, long look at Billy Jack Strong, and saw Soldad Ustinov!

Yep... That thread is hilarious. And it's on a wrestling and video game based message board- the only board I go to more than this place.
 
WWE Superstar Santino Marella was arrested this morning at 2:57 AM on charges of Driving Under the Influence. Marella was stopped at 6301 Westshore Boulevard in Tampa, Florida and is currently being held on $500 bond.

Damn. Hopefully we won't end up seeing Holly and Rhodes' endless reign continue, at the expense of Santino and Carlito.
 
I just received this as breaking news, don't know if it's new or not.

Mike Johnson of the Pro Wrestling Insider is reporting that Santino
Marella was arrested at 2:57 AM EDT this morning and charged with
Driving Under the Influence.

According to Johnson, he was driving on Westshore Boulevard in Tampa,
Florida when he was pulled over. Marella is currently being held in
police custody on $500 bond.

While I think he'll be punished, it don't think it's going to be a huge deal since he was actually under the legal limit. That and, for some reason, the public seems to accept DUIs more readily than other arrests/crimes.

As long as they don't decide to make an example out of him, he'll be fine. Hell, it's Santino, so they may even make a storyline out of it.

Unfortunately, I cannot say I'm surprised at racism in pro-wrestling, especially from someone like, the Southern bred, Michael Hayes. I am surprised that no one kept Hayes in check or took him to task for it.

I'd book Mark Henry, Shelton Benjamin, Kofi Kingston, Cryme Tyme, MVP, Elijah Burke, Ron Simmons, and Big Vis versus Michael Hayes at Judgment Day in a "Loser Gets Beat the F Up fo realz" match. ;)[/quote]

Yeah, I just saw that thing about Hayes and Lashley just now. I thought it was weird how Lashley left and no WWE people were badmouthing him like Lesnar or Austin when they bolted from WWE. I should have known something was up. Honestly, it makes me think of HHH/Booker a few years back and the overtones in that feud.

Except that was done in front of the camera.

Honestly, is anyone surprised that (1) overt racism (not the "I won't hire you because you're not white, but I'll do it with a smile on my face and give you another reason" form of hidden racism currently in vogue) is alive and well backstage at pro wrestling events, knowing the 'unintelligent' aspect of wrestling as well as the 'frat boy' atmosphere that you hear about wrestlers doing (a shampoo bottle up the ass? really?), and that (2) Michael Hayes is front and center of it all?

You know, part of me feels so sorry for Mark Henry sometimes. The guy gets shit on by smart marks for stinking up the ring, has spent 12-13 years in the WWE and still can't get any heat to save his life - and then comes backstage to see $$$$er jokes being told at his expense.

But, on the other hand, I think he's the smartest man in wrestling. Not to the fans, of course, but because of the way he's been booked over the years, it was painfully obvious that WWF knew they WAYYYYYY overpaid the man and put him in angles and storylines to try to make him quit (Mae Young? Sammy?), and he saw the writing on the wall and kept cashing his way overvalued paychecks. Kudos to the dude for that much.

Heh, I always liked Bobby Lashley. Sure was entertaining. He gave a good Wrestlemania that one year. Too bad he left because of Michael Hayes. He should have just come out and sued WWE, like that one lady for the Knicks, and made a ton of money.
 
Yeah, I really can't see Finlay and JBL sodomizing Khali. Horrible a wrestler as he is, Khali's a former world-class powerlifter and Punjab police officer. He's damn near 8 feet tall and 400 lbs - I'd picture Khali picking up a few cruiserweights and pummeling Finlay and JBL with them like baseball bats. Finlay and JBL have the reputation for being tough guys backstage, and with the racism angles breaking left and right, it sounds like an internet rumor that some smartass made up.

Even if they tried, I imagine attacking Khali would have the same effectiveness as working stiff against Andre.

I want to think false of the 'Finlay and JBL sodomize Khali' story. It's just disgusting and uncivilized, and wrong. But then again, this is a business with carny origins. I don't know what to believe. However, to further elaborate JJSP's closing point... You know the 'Randy Orton crapping in a gym bag' rumor from a while ago? My friend started it, and it exploded from that forum to all around the Internet. But who knows, if this is true.

I never conceived those Mark Henry storylines to be methods to make him quit - but, in retrospect, it does sound plausible. To be fair, I do like his "Silverback" gimmick, but I think he's too bulky to be of any good use in the ring. His bulk seems to limit his body's movement, which makes sense. In the same regard as Henry, but with less controvesy, I wonder how Val Venis is still employed. I guess he's this generation's Iron Mike Sharpe.

Michael Haye's ignorance and problems aside. If Lashley had more personality, he would have had it made. He had everything but personality. Unfortunately, lacking that ingredient will make even the tastiest chocolate souffle collapse.

wait just a goddamn minute.

His "Silverback" gimmick?

Silverback?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me that's not what they call him on Smackdown. PLEASE. I hardly watch the show at all (I think the last SD match I watched had Deuce and Domino winning, if that's any indication), so I don't know what they're doing over there, save for the main event scene.

So I really, truly, hope that they aren't calling Mark Henry the "Silverback" on television. That shit makes "Sweet Brown Sugar" seem tame by comparison.

No doubt. While the recent news makes me have some respect for him (he did stick to some modicum of standards in order to quit, instead of being a dolt and brushing it aside like it wasn't a big deal - but he CLEARLY took some hush money, which is a shame, because something like this deserves to be made public because it's so shameful), that's as a human being. As a wrestler he still stinks.

Yeah, they're referring to him, essentially, as an ape. It isn't pretty, sir. Not pretty at all.

In light of recent news, I wish he hadn't taken hush money, and just bitch-slapped WWE for their ridiculousness. The general public probably views pro-wrestling as white trash entertainment, but for us fans, who care about some of the wrestlers, it would be nice to secure them a safer, more-respectable working environment.
 
Not that this is an upside, but he also could have gotten considerably more money by filing suit against them.

WWE is *notorious* for not really discrediting opponents logically, but rather directly ("Bret Screwed Bret"/"Austin took his ball and went home") or indirectly (mocking L. Brent Bozell's Parents' Television Council via the "Right to Censor") through segments on TV and feuds - but do you think that WWE is tactless enough to do such a thing in the face of a discrimination/racism suit?

Don't get me wrong - I know how PC I am, and that I'm the first to wave the "racism" flag about WWE programming - because I'm tuned into the ideas and subtleties of it. So when Shelton Benjamin's "momma" is on TV like a Tyler Perry segment gone worse, or he's playing the heel who is whining about being treated with race-based discrimination, then I get bothered by it. But I'm not really convinced that WWE is THAT stupid. If they were, they would have turned the Benoit thing into an angle as well.

To be fair, on some days I'm surprised they didn't.

Mark Henry calls HIMSELF the silverback on-air, and is referred to as "the self-proclaimed silverback" on commentary. The deal with Khali, Finlay, and JBL turned out to be fake (thank God), so Finlay could be world champ, which I would love to see.
 
...and Saba Simba wore a headdress and carried a spear on TV.

What's your point? It's a ridiculously fine line to be treading on at all.
 
That shirt Angle's wearing on Impact is fucking hilarious.

Is tonight the first ever 2 hour TV wrestling broadcast that's all tag team matches? All 5 matches on the card are tags.
 
I have no idea what Scott Steiner just said, but I want him to win at Sacrifice just so we get weeks upon weeks of promos from him. Oh, and TNA's got a new CONCEPT MATCH. The terrordome, announced TEN DAYS BEFORE THE PPV, and barely explained in the video package. Yay.

Edit - Oh, and Angle's a face this week. For some reason. Goody.

Edit - So much for this week, Angle turned on Joe during the match.
 
Please, no Myke vs. Zen round 2.... Can't we all just get along?

Anyway, that Cheerleader Melissa vs. Daizee Haze match was a nice surprise, as it wasn't on the non-spoiler match listing that I read. It felt like I was back in St. Louis at a Gateway Championship Wrestling show. I was surprised that Melissa was allowed to use the vertebreaker since it's one of Homicide's big moves. I wonder how long it will be till the Impact Zone fans start chanting "Raieesha Sayid" at Melissa.

Also, my DirecTV info for the show lists, "Kurt Angle and Scott Steiner vs. Samoa Joe and Kevin Nash". Huh.

EDIT: Yeah Jay, that Steiner promo was similar to drunken Jake Roberts on Heroes of Wrestling.

EDIT 2: I can't believe I almost forgot. Does anyone know if there are pics (not screencaps, obviously, since the show was taped) of Angel Williams' titty popping out?
 
[quote name='JaytheGamefan']I have no idea what Scott Steiner just said[/quote]

isn't that the beauty of it, though?

The terrordome
Click to expand...

With Chuck D as special guest referee, I suspect.

Damn well better be.
 
That's definitely the beauty of his promos.

Tonight's show was... odd. It had a lot of stuff that I hate about TNA, but most of it was done in a way that didn't annoy me. The terrordome announcement bugs me, as they made no real mention of it in the meat of the show. We don't know what it really is, who is involved, what the stakes are, etc, but we're supposed to get excited about it because it's something that can contain a shark. I've seen a shark cage match - that's not a comparison that endears me to this match. Going by the video package, it looks like a big cock-shaped shark cage. Russo must've designed this thing.

Angle being a sorta-face for half the show was odd, as was LAX apparently needing Hector, despite being THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS before this tourney started, never getting a shot, or complaining about losing a shot at the tag titles they care enough about to enlist the help of a new manager whom they'd previously feuded with.

Super Eric and Eric Young being in the tourney was...something...I liked that they at least tried to make sense of it by saying that AJ believed that Eric and Super Eric weren't the same person. Still weird, but enjoyably so.

Scott Steiner's promo was glorious. Easily my favorite Impact promo in a while, and it makes me sad to think that he could be out of the main event scene after this match, as his promos have been tremendously entertaining. Hopefully they at least keep him in the main event hunt by placing him in KOTM. That's the perfect match for him, as he doesn't have to carry it, can be there to take any of the wacky highspots off the penalty box, and rest up in the penalty box.

I'm not a fan of overloading Sacrifice with so many gimmicks - it's got the Terrordome, which wasn't adequately explained, the Deuce's Wild tournament, with matches that won't even be known until the PPV so they can't add buys, and "the Britney Spears makeover match", which has a dated concept behind it, a convoluted idea behind it in the battle royal->ladder match stuff that likely won't help the buyrate any, and could hurt the earnings of whoever loses the match, as they'll probably be less marketable to indy groups without hair, leading to a possible loss of income for the loser of the match.

They did a good job of building up Joe-Angle-Steiner tonight though - Steiner looked like he could beat either man at the PPV, which is important since he's been stuck in the mid-card for a long time. Fortunately, his name value and excellent promos allow him to jump right back into a main event slot without much effort, and have helped elevate Petey into at least a temporary main eventer, or main eventer by association, position - a step up from being hit in the ass with paintballs and electrocuted in internet vignettes.

Nash cut a good promo as well, hinting at him going after the belt, and it was done in such a way that it actually made me want to see them have one Joe-Nash match. Nash does have name value, and is someone that at least makes Joe sound impressive when you rattle off a list of guys he's beaten in TNA.

Despite all of the problems and logic flaws in this show, I actually liked it quite a bit. The matches were at least decent - nothing was horrid, Melissa-Haze was a nice surprise, had a good finish, but was marred by not being mentioned before or after it happened. The promo work from Steiner and Nash made me want to see future matches - always a plus, as TNA's had trouble getting people excited about matches. Cornette's rants were amusing, AJ being rejected by Storm was funny (although I'm not a fan of Booker, like Angle, completely burying AJ's accomplishments in TNA), and the show at least built up to SOMETHING in the future.

Kong being announced as the last entrant in the tourney was quite interesting, as it could be argued that they billed her as being above Sting by having her announced after him. Her being in this tourney is intriguing, and does open up some interesting possibilities for her as a tag champ. One problem is that if they give her the title, they probably can't have her actually defend it on Impact due to the "no man on woman violence" mandate.

One upside to that is the tag belts could only be defended on PPV, which COULD help make those titles meaningful once again. I liked that they brought up (briefly) the long-time tag team success of both Storm and Booker, making them more intriguing entrants in the tourney than they would have otherwise been.

Matt Morgan, once again, came off like a whiny bitch tonight - complaining about how Cornette owed him, how he HAD to be in the tourney. He's a great talker, and a good talent in the ring, but I cannot fathom this whiny character being THE one that skyrockets him to the top of TNA. I liked him better in his previous role in TNA than in this one.

Also, why are the 8 singles wrestlers "the egotistical 8" when CORNETTE IS THE ONE WHO MADE THIS STUPID TOURNAMENT?

Sting - WHAT IS EVERYBODY DRINKING!? THIS PLACE IS A LOONEY BIN! THE PEOPLE YOU THOUGHT YOU KNOW, YOU DON’T ANYMORE!
JB - Are you referring to the incident with Booker T?
Sting - YOU DON’T KNOW WHO YOU CAN TRUST HERE! IT’S TIME FOR THE EGOTISTICAL 8 TO FIND OUT WHAT CORNETTE’S GOT UP HIS SLEEVE!
Tenay - ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SEPARTED TNA FROM THE COMPETITION FROM THE BEGINNING HAS BEEN THE INNOVATION! IT STARTED WITH THE SIX SIDED RING!
DW - Then there was the Ultimate X, AND THE SIX SIDES OF STEEL, BUT TNA NOW HAS…
Ad Guy - THE TERRORDOME - IT HAS THE SHEER MASS TO CONTAIN A SHARK!
Tenay - YES, AT SACRIFICE, IT’S GONNA BE THE TERRORDOME!
DW - After Impact, be one of ONLY 100 PEOPLE TO OWN THE COOLEST PIECE OF WRESTLIG MEMORABILIA EVER!
(after a vertebreaker)Tenay - THAT’S LIKE NO OTHER CHEERLEADER THAT I’VE EVER SEEN!
Steiner - YOU KNOW, THEY SAY ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, BUT YOU LOOK AT ME AND JOE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT STATEMENT ISN’T TRUE! I’M A GENETIC FREAK, AND I’M NOT NORMAL, SO YOU GOT A 25% CHANCE AT BEST TO WIN! AT SACRIFICE, YOU GOT A 33 AND A THIRD PERCENT CHANCE OF WINNING! ANGLE, YOU GOT A 33 AND A THIRD PERCENT CHANCE OF WINNING, WHICH MEANS YOU TWO GOT A 66 PERCENT CHANCE OF WINNING, AND I GOT A 124 AND A THIRD PERCENT CHANCE OF WINNING! THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE! TONIGHT, WE’RE GONNA WIN, AND I’M GONNA BE THE WORLD CHAMP!
Tenay - You know, I’ve just gotta comment on that interview from Steiner - I never knew he was a math major at Michigan State.
DW - Albert Einstein rolled over in his grave about a dozen times there.
Tenay - That was the damndest interview I’ve ever seen.
Tenay - The initiations seemed wacky, but as we saw, they led him to make Petey into his own image!
DW - Yes, he molded him into someone he knew he could trust!
DW - This whole thing is working out just the way the mathematician, Scott Steiner, wanted it to.

DW - WE COULD SEE A SITUATION WITH THE JAMES GANG BACK TOGETHER!
Cornette - THE NEXT ENTRANT - A MAN WHO NEVER MET A BEER HE DIDN’T LIKE - JAMES STORM!
DW - WHEN YOU THINK OF HOW MANY TIMES HE’S HELD THE TAG STRAPS - HE’S GOTTA BE A FAVORITE!
Cornette - CAN YOU DIG IT? BOOKER T!
Tenay - THINK ABOUT THIS MAN AS WELL - HE’S NO STRANGER TO THE WORLD OF TAG TEAM WRESTLING!
Cornette - OUR NEXT ENTRANT, THE WIZARD OF WALL STREET, ROBERT ROODE!
Tenay - HE’S THE LEADER OF ROODE INC. AND IN A VERY SIMILAR SITUATION AS STORM - HE WAS CONFIDENT FROM THE START THAT HE’D BE PART OF THIS!
Tenay - YOU DON’T THINK THAT HE AND BOOKER…
DW - NO WAY, NO WAY!
Cornette - PLEASE WELCOME THE ICON, THIS IS STINGGGGG!
Tenay - HOW ABOUT THAT! HE GOES TO THE ICON CARD NEXT! IT’S STING!
DW - He thinks that everyone’s in the looney bin here!
Cornette - You eight individuals will be battling…1-2-3... How silly of me, I almost miscounted. THERE’S ONE MORE TO GO! THERE’S ONE MORE INDIVIDUAL THAT WILL BE INVOLVED. ONE MORE INDIVIDUAL THAT IS GONNA ROUND OUT THIS FIELD, AND IS GONNA MAKE HISTORY, AND THAT INDIVIDUAL IS THE TNA KNOCKOUTS CHAMPION AWESOME KONG! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Tenay - THAT’S NUTS! I NEVER SAW THAT COMING! WHO WILL HER PARTNER BE!?

Screens -
It wouldn't be TNA without a....


Like Mike and Don said, TNA's all about innovation...




This doesn't make me want to buy the DVD




Even TNA's photoshop jobs are second-rate compared to WWE's.




Mike Tenay bitchslap!










 
What happned to the Chuck Palumbo storyline that was running on Smackdown? Did they scrap it or was it wrapped on an episode of ECW?
 
[quote name='Blackout542']What happned to the Chuck Palumbo storyline that was running on Smackdown? Did they scrap it or was it wrapped on an episode of ECW?[/quote]

They've decided to pull him for a little while and reintroduce him with his greatest past gimmick...Custom Chuckie P!
 
[quote name='JaytheGamefan']
Angle being a sorta-face for half the show was odd, as was LAX apparently needing Hector, despite being THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS before this tourney started, never getting a shot, or complaining about losing a shot at the tag titles they care enough about to enlist the help of a new manager whom they'd previously feuded with.[/QUOTE]

They got their shot last week. Triple threat with Styles/Tomko and Kaz/Eric.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']wait just a goddamn minute.

His "Silverback" gimmick?

Silverback?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me that's not what they call him on Smackdown. PLEASE. I hardly watch the show at all (I think the last SD match I watched had Deuce and Domino winning, if that's any indication), so I don't know what they're doing over there, save for the main event scene.

So I really, truly, hope that they aren't calling Mark Henry the "Silverback" on television. That shit makes "Sweet Brown Sugar" seem tame by comparison.



No doubt. While the recent news makes me have some respect for him (he did stick to some modicum of standards in order to quit, instead of being a dolt and brushing it aside like it wasn't a big deal - but he CLEARLY took some hush money, which is a shame, because something like this deserves to be made public because it's so shameful), that's as a human being. As a wrestler he still stinks.[/quote]

I used to wonder the same thing.. I was like.. Aint a silverback a type of gorilla? Well, that's fairly racist now innit?
 
Matt, my mistake - it still seems odd for them to NEED Hector's help, but at least it'll lead to some more promos with him imitating Eddie.

Zen, just about every Impact show is odd. This one was just odd in different ways than last week's.
 
Daizee Haze was on Impact tonight, huh.

That reminds me: when the hell's Sydal gonna get onto WWE television?

Also, having seen the promo video for "The Terrordome," I've seen a match that used that concept. At last year's TripleMania, I think:

The "domo de la muerte" featuring Los Hell Brothers (Cibernetico, Charlie Manson, and Chessman) vs. El (Judas) Mesias, X-Pac, and Kenzo Suzuki.

Ah, here's a video summary, complete with Metallica covering Motorhead.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFL5Pvon2kA[/media]

It's a match concept I *like* which is unusual for TNA, but they're overcooking everything they do. I haven't the fucking slightest as to what "Deuces Wild" is, and I get the sneaking suspicion TNA doesn't either.

Cheerleader Melissa is doing double duty with gimmicks, it seems. I dig that they're allowing her to use the gimmick she's made somewhat famous. I haven't watched TNA in months, so I thought TNA raided SHIMMER, but have been told Daizee's appearance was just an appearance. I was very surprised to see her in TNA, though.

I watched that Terrordome match on some Spanish TV channel. I thought it was an okay effort by all parties. It was very slow-paced and didn't seem too organized. I probably wouldn't grade it higher than a 'C'. However, it is an interesting concept. :)
 
[quote name='JaytheGamefan']Mark Henry calls HIMSELF the silverback on-air, and is referred to as "the self-proclaimed silverback" on commentary. The deal with Khali, Finlay, and JBL turned out to be fake (thank God), so Finlay could be world champ, which I would love to see.[/quote]

OK, I haven't watched Smackdown in a long ass while (it switched channels here again...or at least I can't find it), but that is some funny shit:lol: :rofl: That is so blatantly racist... I guess it's better than what they could have come up with: Mark Henry - the man from the Congo er...man-ape. Why the hell not call him King Kong or Chuwala Zulu the African Prince descendant of Shaka Zulu or something like that... Hell, Mark Henry must be so easy to work with. He must never complain with what they give him. He's just gotta be untypically friendly, like a giant teddy bear.:lol:
 
[quote name='JaytheGamefan']That's definitely the beauty of his promos.[/quote]

Thanks to you guys, my eyes now see the beauty. :whistle2:$ Also beautiful? When Awesome Kong bends over. :drool:

Thanks so much for all that, Jay! I'm downloading it now.

You likely missed my post about it, and there's probably no way to do it now, but any chance you could get a screen cap of Gorgeous Gary Young's entrance on the AWA show the other night (with name on screen)? I ask because my dad's name is Gary.
 
Pelle Primeau vs. Roderick Strong - Great Fun Match

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOIC_hm2TmA[/media]

This is from Dover. You can assume where I am because I am quite easy to see.

They actually had a stage set up and full lighting for the show. It looked fantastic live.

That is not awesome. You go to the back of the bus! Or the front. Or you can drive the bus.

Unfortunately, I don't have any shots of him with his name on-screen, but I do have two screens of him.


 
Did Kurt Angle lose a ton of weight? I saw him last night, and he looked freakin' scrawny compared to the Angle I remember. His singlet seemed way too big for him.
 
[quote name='Shmitty']by a fucking jobber.[/QUOTE]

jobbers are fantastic. I love the good jobbers(think stalker ichikawa, lodi, villanos, kaientai hell even barry horowitz)

if i was a wrestler, i would definitely be a jobber. I would pretend to be a masked mexican jobber. I could call my self the flaming enchilada and wear the most ridiculous costumer ever. I am talking blue tights with sequins and other weird shit.
 
[quote name='Purple Flames']Looks like ROH finally upped their production value.[/quote]

It was only for the Dover shows.
