If you noticed on the BFG leader board Samoa Joe is #1 now after beating Angle last night. BFG shaping up like this, Aries/Joe for the belt, Storm/Roode rematch and Bully Ray/Abyss. A Double is super over, TNA will not have him drop the belt on Impact.
 
Morrison vs PAC would probably be a amazing spot match. But yeah, some of those moves are definitely out of bounds for current WWE. Then again, it would also make some of those moves more special if he can only bust them out every once in a while. Him and Sin Cara should be able to put on a good match.

I would pay full PPV price to see a one hour iron man match between Pac and a lot of people.. Ziggler, Kofi, Sin Cara, Evan Bourne, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and maaaaaaaaybe Rey Mysterio.
 
Instead of hiring new women they should maybe focus on current ones.. You know, like Kharma, Nasty Nattie, and Beth.

Ahh who am i kidding...
 
Maybe with Sara, the others will actually be on tv cuz Creative will have something for them. :lol:

Anyway, not sure how I feel about PAC denying anything is going on. But then again, so did Albert before his debut.

That's how I am trying to view this situation. Don't forget AJ. The women's division could actually be pretty cool.

I believe it's called being a professional. He's not going to run around like a school girl yelling "HAY GUYZ GUESS WHUT!!!1!1 IM N DA DOUBLE DOUBLE E #imsocoolnowuguyz"
 
Seriously, fuck the wwe. I would have been just fine if they would have never mentioned who the GM was (kinda like they never revealed who was behind GTV) than motherfucking
Hornswoggle
 
Why are Jericho and Kane even in the MITB? What have they done to make either one of them remotely threatening? I'm glad Cena and Kane are apparently pals now who encourage each other. Maybe instead of embracing the hate they embraced each other.
 
Heh, Punk/Bryan slipped the Sonnen/Silva missed spinning back fist into grounded knee to the chest into the main event.

Ha! Good catch.

On the bright side (if there is one), that should be the final appearance of the computer being the GM.
 
I skimmed a recap, and saw they had 5-6 matches, most of them in the 0-2 minute range, 1 over 3 minutes, and 1 over 6 minutes. So, yeah. I'm glad I got a DVR again.
 
Can't decide the fan of the night.. The guy with the "AJ! Undertake my VIRGINITY!" sign, or the stupid woman who brought her several month old baby to the event.
 
I watched about ten minutes of RAW tonight. That alone felt like two hours on its own. Oh and seriously @ the anonymous RAW GM reveal... yeah can the WWE go the way of WCW now please.

Forward to 11m 52s for Aries-Roode.

I subscribed to TNA's YouTube channel. Lars Only/Johnny Yuma is actually a friend of mine. I'm genuinely thrilled to see him working for TNA. I guess I'll have to cut my WWE time in half to share with TNA. WEIRD.[/QUOTE]
Really would love for TNA to give the RockNES Monsters a shot, but I fear it'd end up a lot like the Young Bucks.

I really like where all of this is (potentially) heading. It seems like they might be looking to focus on.. dare I say it.. wrestling.

/edit: Pac denies rumors:[/QUOTE]

So she's a more athletic Victoria? Cool but she'll be underused by WWE or they'll bring back the piggy insult by the heel females.
 
[quote name='Chase']Hey guys, no joke: TNA is pretty solid right now.[/QUOTE]

I wasn't joking in the first place. :) I'm not saying "I told you so", I'm just glad people are finally giving it a chance and enjoying it.
 
JJ: Wasn't TNA in a weird place during the time they employed The Young Bucks? Wasn't that right before they started to get their act together?

Any company that puts their World Heavyweight championship around Austin Aries deserves another chance. :) From what I've gathered, the story they ran with Aries and Roode was/has been pretty solid. And the "relinquish the X-Division championship for a World title shot" angle going forward puts a lot of emphasis back on the X-Division. Do we credit Dave Lagana, or what, for turning TNA around? Plus, I saw that they put Samoa Joe over Kurt Angle. The finish to that match was quite nice. And last, but certainly not least, while watching Aries-Roode, I noticed that Tenay and Borash let the match speak for itself instead of polluting the air with too much commentary like Cole does in WWE. Somewhat refreshing.
 
It's kind of surreal to see PWG talent show up on TNA. Between the Bucks and now Yuma, Joey, and Scorpio Sky, it definitely gives me some hope that companies are starting to push indy workers as the future of the business. Did anyone really think Austin Aries (a guy who didn't make Tough Enough, mind you) would be champion of a roster that includes Sting, Angle, Hogan, Hardy, RVD, Anderson, or Bully Ray?

We've got Punk and Bryan in the forefront on Raw, Claudio on SD, a slew of guys in TNA, and Hero, Rollins, and Mox waiting in the wings (and the rumored signing of PAC). Kind of cool.

Can someone sign Kenny Omega next?
 
Goddamn Raw was so bad. I can't help but think they are doing it on purpose for some kind of huge shake up for the 1000 episode and the move to 3 hours. With all the talent they have, and yet nothing engaging as far as story lines or characters go perhaps, they are setting up for some kind of entire WWE-wide reboot? That is the only thing I can think of to justify how terrible of a show it was tonite.... on every single level imaginable. And after reading Smack Down spoilers, no surprise that show doesn't seem any better.
 
"The man that gravity forgot" is really catchy. Last weeks Impact I just stopped watching. However, putting the belt on Aries and moving Joe up in the BFG series makes me want to give them yet another chance. Also, Raw GM.....in the words of Miz, who they should have brought out just to do it, Really? REALLY? Really? Good to see Heath Slater AFTER Cena for once.

Punk high fiving him self was the best part of Raw sadly, Slater being the second. Those photobombs are great!

Gotta give TNA my viewing time this week - they earned it by giving Aries the title. I hope they let him run with it for a bit, as the disparity in the quality between Sunday's TNA PPV and Monday's Raw show what I've maintained for years - TNA has the talent, but they just need to learn to utilize it correctly. Sunday they did so, while WWE put on what sounded like a fucking awwwwwful program. I hope TNA is consistent with it.
 
Well, it's Viacom, not just Spike.

http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.c...e-may-affect-access-for-20-million-customers/

"DirecTV, in turn, said early Tuesday morning that it had offered Viacom “increased fees for their networks going forward; we just can’t afford the extreme increases they are asking for.” DirecTV characterized Viacom’s request as a 30 percent increase, equivalent to “more than a billion dollars extra.” Viacom countered by saying that the current distribution contract is seven years old. "

Sounds to me like fuck Viacom on this deal.
 
When I was a kid the Viacom networks were my most watched stations, but I can't really say I miss any of those networks since I ditched cable over a year ago. The Internet loves wrestling thankfully so I have not suffered.
 
It's always Viacom. Last year there was a dispute with my local cable company. And also the shitstorm they caused on Youtube a few years back.
 
Would it be safe to say AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels have the longest feud in wrestling? Everytime I watch TNA, I see them facing each other. Hug it out and move on, guys.

I liked DirecTV until they removed G4. Since then, it's like they are trying to get rid of a new series of channels every few months.

She seems more the type to be motorboating under the influence.

CM Punk can save her!
