Nooooooo! :cry:
 
I actually got sort of excited about that Raw promo when I realized I was hearing JR on commentary.

Fingers crossed that it's a permanent change.
 
[quote name='RedvsBlue']I thought the Battle Royale was a title match with Khali winning? That's what was posted earlier in this thread.
There you go, that's the information I was relying on.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='crr_1119']Oh wait, apparently there was some confusion. The Great Khali won the match, but the US title was no longer on the line

So I guess that makes it a little better.[/QUOTE]

One post after the two you quoted.
 
[quote name='pitfallharry219']That point was 2004.[/QUOTE]

Indeed it was... My bad.

[quote name='Trakan']One post after the two you quoted.[/QUOTE]

Ah, that would explain it. I missed that one. I'm just erring the fuck out of this thread.
 
You tapped out chant. Like it.

Definitely making that change to the Undertaker that was mentioned earlier. I like it.
 
So HHH says Taker gave him the fight of his life a week after saying it was Taker's "time" and he was gonna be the one to take him out. HHH also mentions their previous WM match after WWE pretended it didn't exist up until now. I guess WM's over, they got their money. No need to hide it anymore. Oh, and HHH says he'll be waiting when Taker returns. I guess you got next year's WM match. Taker vs. HHH. Streak vs. career. That's new.

lollllll
 
*just ignore this outsider's POV*

WM27 was awful. Outside of the decent HHH/UT match, it felt like a 7-hour episode of RAW.

And it made me sick of the Rock.

I tuned in tonight to see how they'd follow-up that shitstorm. I got an OK HHH promo, and Cole in a singlet.

I think it might be time to go away for awhile.

Then again, the NCAA game STILL hasn't started!!!

:bomb:
 
$100 says JR wasn't in on the BBQ bukkake, and that McMahon told Cole to do it, as he secretly hates JR for his WCW stint.

I'm sure TNA's Wrestlemania will be much better.

They're lying about those stats by the way...that Backstreet Boys concert had 73,000, not 65 like WWE is saying.
 
[quote name='manthing']They said 'entertainment' event.

Would BSB qualify in that event?[/QUOTE]
Sounds like mass torture event.

Maybe with NSYNC it is an entertainment event, but not BSB.
 
5 minutes of intros, 2 minutes of action.

Also, the Nexus appears to be officially dead.

Off to watch the title game.

Hi, my name is Trakan and I take every opportunity I can to justify the fact that I watch TNA.
 
[quote name='pitfallharry219']I'm sure TNA's Wrestlemania will be much better.[/QUOTE]

Heh, if it existed it really wouldn't be too hard to beat this year, would it?

You guys like to shit on TNA, and myke says that he holds TNA to a higher standard and all that, but truthfully it's WWE that should be held to the higher standard. WWE is the billion dollar company. While TNA has more talent, it's struggling to become profitable. The WWE we all knew growing up is gone. They won't even let it be called wrestling anymore. The few good wrestlers they have don't go anywhere. Del Rio (who I think is overrated but you guys seem to like) lost last night just because Vince thought everyone thought they knew the outcomes of the matches. Punk lost last night to Orton for whatever reason. The Heavyweight title was defended before a match with two announcers? Okay...

TNA isn't perfect but I find it much more enjoyable than the shit show that is the current state of the WWE.

Also, Vince is a dick for teasing a JR return for a 10 minute Cole/Lawler segment.
 
[quote name='Purple Flames']Angle Slam![/QUOTE]

Ankle lock and the Angle slam have been used tonight. Angle's twitter hacker must be going crazy.
 
[quote name='Trakan']truthfully it's WWE that should be held to the higher standard.[/QUOTE]

WWE = higher standard because they're profitable? (no longer a billion dollar company, by the by.)

TNA is producing the same product, following the same format, and using the same names as WWE, in hopes that they'll hit paydirt suddenly. They're not taking the risks they need to, they're not getting rid of money sinks like they need to, they're not shedding the dead weight on both sides of the camera they need to.

WWE has established itself. We all know that, in the US, if you're a "brand name," then fuckin idjits will flock to you out of a perverse sense of affinity and identification (e.g., see the need for WWE to inject all sorts of marketing psychology into their product, like WWE Universe™ instead of "fans").

TNA has not established itself, and its writing, production, and execution have been done before. And, in TNA's case, it's not working. TNA's failure to catch a fire with an audience shows that WWE isn't popular because of its product, but because of brand recognition. Yet TNA does take risks - with their talent, with their business practices, with their poor treatment of workers. Where they do not take risks is in their product, where they desperately need to do something.

Yes, of course, the burden is on TNA is give me a reason to watch their show. I've watched pro wrestling on Mondays since 1988, so watching Raw is easy. I don't watch on Tues/Weds/Thurs/Friday anymore, either. So it's not like WWE has me on their hook, either. They just happen to be what is on on Mondays. That's what drove TNA to move to Mondays. They're not putting out a compelling product by doing anything new - they're aping what worked in the past, and doing a pretty weak job of it, too.

TNA has a *huge* opportunity to generate interest in their product following a pretty underwhelming Wrestlemania, as well as the HUGE opportunity to welcome wrestling fans by drawing attention to WWE distancing itself from the word and product. If TNA had anyone with guts or intelligence on their side, they'd have rolled out a promotional campaign already. But you know the truth: they won't do it at all.

Look, I'd love for the underdog to succeed. But I have to like the underdog first. TNA has not given me a reason to like them in years.

EDIT: Jaysis, looking at this TE cast, I know that I'll be safe watching the daily show or going to sleep instead. Looks like a douchebag catalog outside of the diminutive M-Dogg 20.

Yes, myke. WWE has all these guys and the only reason they're on top is because of guys like you who watch wrestling cause it's on every Monday night. WWE has the Stone Colds, HHHs, and The Rocks.

TNA having actual wrestling matches and getting me interested while not having the guys I listed above says something, IMO. I agree that they need to take more risks and shed more dead weight, but they did attempt the Monday night move last year. They are trying new things.

Outside of the Best of 5 between Guns/Beer Money, TNA hasn't done jack shit wrestling wise in the past year.
 
What the hell is Booker talking about with Del Rio? Way to bury the guy.
 
Raw's scheduled to go to 11:15 tonight and USA is giving them even more overrun beyond that so there's a strong lead-in for Tough Enough
