The TNA Wrestling Five Year Anniversary & Sherri Martel Memorial Topic

[quote name='mykevermin']I was thinking about the fact that I have not seen a single soul (including myself) talk about how awful Tomko is since he showed up in TNA. Frankly, he hasn't had many bad bouts (several forgettable ones) since showing up in TNA, and he's doing a good job playing Virgil to Christian's Ted DiBiase. He's made himself look like a legit threat in fighting with Abyss, and we believe in him because he's being set up to eventually give Christian some what-for.

But, as the "problem solver" in WWE, we all (again, including myself) shit all over him. He's a McMahon-bred muscle head no-can-work piece of trash, he's stiff and clumsy, and so on and so forth. The guy couldn't buy a break. Everyone hated everything he did ('cept probably Guyver :lol:).

So, is he better today? Different? Or is it that we just react to muscle-headed guys on WWE tv with that same disdain, and never give them a chance? Did his time b/w WWE and TNA make him a better wrestler (he spent most of it in Japan)?

Or, is he pretty much the same, and we cut him some slack b/c we want to see TNA succeed?[/quote]
Thing is even in the WWE, Tomko displayed hints of a personality, or at least low-key self-confidence in contrast to Christian's over the top cockiness. "Hey, Tomko, give me a beat. - No."

He may not have much of a character, but the whatever character he does have gives the impression that he won't embarass himself to try and sell himself or his friends, especially when they're being idiots. Personally I like that.

In the WWE, he just wasn't given enough mic time and wasn't exploited as a valuable talent. So we had no reason to care about him.

Now we know he is in a stable with Christian, we know he's a no nonsense kind of guy, we know he's wrestled in Japan so he's not some musclehead they got in for the money and look, and slowly I've come to 'accept' Tomko as an all right wrestler. It's obvious he's improved on his skills (which consisted of nothing more than a running boot which missed half of the time in the WWE) and people might just enjoy his backstage promos as long as he has someone good to work off of like Christian.
 
Wow, that was a shitty PPV. I think the Edge/Batista match ran over it's time limit, cause it felt like they rushed the Women's & WWE title matches. Funny how Batista lost his chance. Just watch, they reward him with another title shot cause of that.

As for the WWE Title match, at least Lashley got FU'ed through the ECW announcer's table. I don't think we'll be seeing Foley soon judging from last night. Looked like he screwed up his knee when flipping to the outside at the beginning of the match.

Also wanted to mention this.

The wrestling sites are hinting that since this was added, they might make him the killer for McMahon.
 
Sycho Sid returning and being revealed as McMahon's killer would be WAY too interesting, there's no way they'll do that.

I was wondering this at one point, too. Then I realized, that if this were the case, we'd be cheering for VKM.
 
Hey, my predictions for the PPV came true!

Except for the ECW match, but we all know Benoit would have won had he shown up.
 
Excuse my ignorance here. I was out of town last week, so I didn't keep up with the thread.

While watching wrestling, I saw the passing of Sherri, but I never knew her last name was Martel. Was she related to Rick "The Model" Martel, who fought in the WWE around the same time she was in it?
 
[quote name='ZForce']Sycho Sid returning and being revealed as McMahon's killer would be WAY too interesting, there's no way they'll do that.[/QUOTE]

Sid always said he had a huge angle that he would use if he got brought back...just a thought. But no, I don't think he did it.
 
I can't imagine WWE would bring Sid back. I mean, they have a pretty massive talent pool at the moment (yes, some of it's injured and alot of it is misused) and they certainly don't need a shoddy big man when they have Undertaker, Kane, Viscera, Khali, Umaga and Batista. Granted, those guys aren't all stellar workers and UT is injured but all of them are, in my opinion, at least as good as Sid. Plus you need to give Sid softball season off (WTF is up with that anyways?).
 
[quote name='DJSteel']why not just save the money and say Snitsky did it..after all that is Sid's Persona..to a point..[/quote]

Because there was a point in time where Sid was actually somewhat of a draw. Snitsky, on the other hoof, never has been a draw, never will be, and never should be booked in a foolish manner that suggests he could draw. Especially not with Cena.

Hell, I'd sooner watch Viscera vs Cena, than Snitsky vs Cena. Especially if Viscera went back to the Mabel gimmick, and encouraged all the youngsters to hop aboard the "Lex-Express" :lol:
 
God I can't believe Chris Benoit is Dead... and it says his whole family is dead also Nancy and his son dead I suppose.. this is all kinds of messed up. I don't even know what to say..

edit: My friennd just called and said he heard it on Bubba the Lovesponge and Bubba is calling Hogan. The Torch has a headline up with no story so far. I feel sick.
 
Without knowing anything, my first thought is a murder-suicide. This is entirely fucked up.. another of the Radicalz dead on the verge of claiming gold.
 
[quote name='moonknight25']benoit is fuckin gdead im in tears as i say this i hope this shit is fake god please be fake....

http://www.wwe.com/[/quote]

rip benoit... he was one of the few that got me back into wrestling back with his booker t matches in wcw...it's sad to see this..but I bet it had something to do with steroids...

*moment of silence*

back to snitsky..if you look at it now..Sid might pull an extra 50 people into the stands but right now he is not that much more of a draw than Snitsky...that was my point..
 
I put up a new topic... I really hope this is a work and we can just delete it, and move on. I'd say tag that one on to this one, and I don't mean to undermine Sherri's passing, but it's freakin' Chris Benoit.
 
I have to agree with the murder-suicide ideas on this. If it were just Benoit to have passed away, it would have been one thing, but for something to have happened to his wife, something else definitely went down.
 
unlocking thread. This thread is only for wrestling talk and not about the passing of Chris Benoit and his family. That discusssion should continue in the thread dealing with that issue already.
 
[quote name='pitfallharry219']So, anyways... Apparently Londrick were moved to Raw as some kind of punishment for London letting the Ashley/Survivor news leak out.[/QUOTE]

Wait a second... you mean to tell me that being moved to RAW is now punishment? I thought punishment in the WWE was being either moved to ECW or worse yet.... working only house shows as "enhancement talent."
 
[quote name='MorbidAngel4Life']I always thought having to be in the ring with Khali/Henry was punishment enough.[/QUOTE]

We need to ask Cena then about being in the ring with Khali.
 
Did I just read that at the PPV, Cena took out FOUR people to get the belt?

Seriously?

Not content with taking out one big name at a time, now he gets to crush 4 of them.

And one of them being Mick Foley none the less.

Yeah, sucks.

[quote name='Demolition Man']We need to ask Cena then about being in the ring with Khali.[/quote]

I have but one thing to say to that:

CENA! I BAKE YOU!
 
The next PPV should just have Cena in a gauntlet match against every single superstar on the roster.

One after the other, Cena can destroy them all with FU's and STFU's and five knuckle shuffles and punches, since that is his movelist.

And a running clothesline too.
 
Dear God no Roufuss don't give them any ideas. Vince might be reading CAG right now, nod his head up and down like this:

.... then go "good idea" and go forward with it.

You forgot the Protoplex and the occasional Throwback(wtf kinda name is that anyway).
 
Cena should just take out every other champion and unite the belts to hold a mega belt with a huge ass spinner and enough bling that it blinds everyone when he holds up.

I'd also like to see Cena vs Jesus Christ, I'm surprised Vince never used that angle during his religion kick.

Cena can give JC the FU and be like "WHO'S YOUR SAVIOR NOW?!? THE CHAMP IS HERE BITCH!"

How about Cena in TNA? Cena in NJPW? Cena in ROH? HE IS UNSTOPPABLE
 
[quote name='Demolition Man']Roufuss... just STOP. Stop it.[/QUOTE]

Ha, I added more too.

Cena in MMA!

Cena is so awesome he should go outside of wrestling and just destoy every other sport. Cena in the 2008 Olympics! I can think of no one better to represent USA.
 
[quote name='MorbidAngel4Life']Cena just needs to buy WWE, then fire everyone else and hire trained monkeys to be his CHAIN GANG SOULJAZ BACK OFF JACKOFF[/QUOTE]

OHHHHHHH BURNED!

YOU'RE JUST A POOR WHITE BOY WITH NO LIFE!

[quote name='Demolition Man']Damn it Roufuss I like you better when you were in your emo period.[/QUOTE]

I didn't watch WWE in 2003 - 2005, but rap battling Cena sure is a hell of a lot better than generic army Cena.

That video I posted wasn't actually half bad.
 
omg... doctor of thugonomics? :rofl:

Talking about nipples, Sable, and smacking that ass.
