[quote name='Matt Young']I'm looking forward to it! You and I are also probably the only 2 guys on CAG to have TNA Impact in their recently played games.

EDIT: Well, UFC bumped it off mine, actually. But yeah.[/QUOTE]

I actually missed the PPV because I was out. I've been enjoying TNA more than WWE lately. I'll have to catch a feed online.

The TNA Impact game is alright. At first I thought it completely sucked, but I picked it back up a couple days ago and got used to the controls. It's kinda fun now. I'm about 50% through the story.
 
Russo compiles the bookers' storylines into something "cohesive". (See the quotes, there?)

He doesn't actually create the storylines.

Russo really, really stinks, but I imagine TNA would be somewhat better if he did the actual booking.
 
For those curious about the condition of Raven...

From a few weeks ago. He's in the main event against Lodi in a "Clockwork Orange House Of Fun" match. Its pretty decent but the camera work sucks. Plus the crowd is just as bad if not worse than the TNA Nashville crowd from the Wednesday PPV era.
 
That Jim Cornette article is probably THE BEST shoot EVER. He's like, the ultimate smark. Once I got half a brain I realized that ECW was shit. Most of those matches and wrestlers were just garbage and played out at such. The ones who were good, left. The others left a skid mark on the underwear of professional wrestling.

It actually makes me quite pissed that hardcore wrestling exists.
 
ECW was good great at harmonizing athletic wrestling (of all sorts) with the hardcore aspect.

So, them's some bold-ass words.
 
What in the fuck is with this TNA Impact game? How many boring ass tag team matches do I have to do in story mode? Tag team wrestling in video games sucks big fat dick. When does it end? My partner never breaks up pins and the opponent takes forever to actually get a 3 count on. I'm getting my ass handed to me by a bunch of jobbers.

Them's some fightin' words, IMO.

I like a lot of what Cornette had to say, but ECW was always more than just crappy New Jack brawls, or people jumping off scaffolding. That stuff was always over the top and unnecessary, but personally I don't mind if chairs and tables get used, or the occasional ladder match. It's entertaining, and can be done without serious injury. Hardcore wrestling doesn't need to be an all or nothing proposition.

Taipei deathmatches, staple guns, excessive cutting, barbed wire ropes, etc. was shit, always terrible and unappealing for me.
 
I'm a few mins away from turning to the Nuggets/Lakers game....and after that, L4D...and after that, porn

So WWE needs to pull a rabbit out its hat
 
You guys didn't expect Vince's Swingin' Dickfest to actually be good, did you? Vince is just using the "Denver Debacle" as another excuse to publicly masturbate his ego again.
 
I'm guessing this will be his last chance. He doesn't move huge amounts of merchandise to keep him around like the equally injury prone Mysterio does.
 
Y'know, I just watched such 5 star matches on youtube as the Exploding Cage deathmatch and the Exploding Pool deathmatch, I'm now realizing that I kinda gave ECW a hard time.

Are you being facetious, or retarded? Or both.

I like how you're trying to stereotype ECW with two match types in which they've never booked.
 
Orton's face says what we're all thinking tonight. 1. The bored expression at Kennedy, and 2. the "this is retarded" look about having to wear the Nuggets jersey
 
Some o' that self-serving Vince McMahon popping corn.

I'd like to assure Vince that he's the only one who cares about his feud with whoever the Hell that guy is, or whatever.

I wasn't even trying to stereotype ECW, I seriously just watched those two matches booked in FMW and realized that ECW wasn't nearly as ridiculous. It seemed pretty clear to me.:hot:
 
The whole run-on sentence was kind of smarmy / sarcastic, so it was hard to decipher your intent... especially since you were shitting on ECW moments ago.

So, I'd appreciate it if you'd edit that eye rolling smiley out of your post, ass burglar.
 
Dang. I totally agreed with damn near everything Cornette had to say in his commentary. The entire world doesn't revolve around southern style pro wrestling, but the "hardcore revolution" leading into a national emergence of pro wrestling shitshows is somewhat accurate. What he said about Ian Rotten is 100% accurate.

That said, a few things of note:
1) There are promotions that use hardcore wrestling from time to time, and successfully, too. It's not an issue, to me, of all or nothing - but rather one of appropriate use. and, of course, never using shit like weedwackers. for fuck's sake. Cornette's all or nothing argument isn't realistic.
2) As soon as I finished reading that, the next web browser tab was the nwa show DemoMan linked to that had Cornette hyping a Raven Clockwork Orange hardcore match. :rofl:
3) The modern style of wrestling has some say in the rate of injuries and shortened careers, I feel. Much could be linked to the hardcore style, but not all of it.
 
WWE is in the complete shitter right now. I would be so pissed if I paid $100 for tickets to a Raw that has 3 matches(besides the ME) with less than 3 minutes of actual wrestling. Not to mention what is up with the supposed to be - comedy - that they do. It's not funny at all, it reminds me of those spoof movies that are only funny to certian type of person. The whole spoof at the start, Santino with a unibrow doing pig noises and saying a pizza on a pole match. The crowd was dead tonight also.
 
I just finished watching Raw on DVR delay. I was watching the actual Lakers/Nuggets game when it was on. Not a bad show, overall. I liked the main event and the finisher parade that followed and, strangely enough, the Goldswoggle/Festrick match, as well as Goldswoggle's skit with"Nicholson". I pretty much have always thought Hornswoggle was a waste of space, and I don't want to see him wrestle, but I like his team with Goldust. Seeing Mr. Kennedy back was cool, even though he just got his ass kicked for most of the match. The announcement of Santina vs. Vickie made me cringe.

I just wish the move from Denver to LA would have happened sooner, rather than right after I had spent a lot of money. I would have liked to have attended the show.
 
wait, that was 'Nicholson'? Looked more like Joe Pesci to me.
Glad I didn't go to that show. Remember, at the actual live event, you not only have to the 'skits' and videos as filler, but the commercial breaks as well. Lots of in-between time between any action or 'sports entertainment' tonight.

Will say that the Kendrick and Goldswoggle match was entertaining. BTW, whatever happened to Ezekiel Jackson?
 
I think breaking up Kendrick and Ezekiel was pretty stupid.

Also, Kennedy's promo would've been so much better had Randy Orton just walked off in the middle of his little speech instead of just standing there and waiting for him to finish talking.

I only caught bits and pieces of Raw, but that was pretty painful. That last match is one of those ones that's *real* tough to explain or justify to non-wrestling fans when you flip over to watch the last few minutes. Batista's shorts didn't help.

The only plus is that the mystery partner turned out to be Kennedy. It's not that I'm happy to see him, it's more that I'm just happy that I'm *not* seeing HHH.

On that note, why do they even bother to pretend like Kennedy is going to get anywhere near a belt? After all the injuries, there's no way they'd give him the ball. None.
 
Hey guys the Wikpedia on FMW actually has a pretty lengthy synopsis on it. It plays out kinda like a behind the music, I think it's great. Okay, not really a synopsis, but a long drawn out analysis of nearly every single thing that happened in that promotion.

Stuff like this:

As Atsushi Onita and FMW's popularity began to skyrocket, with Onita becoming a bigger name, Onita would accept a $ 25,000 dollar signing bonus by a company that would market laser disc of him to be released. Onita, who started out known as a poor guy, who wore cheap clothes, and was force to put everything into his matches, because FMW didn't have much else to offer began attending shows in tuxedos, and began driving a very expensive Mercedes Benz, as well as being able to afford nine expensive cameras to film the shows due to all the money that FMW was making. Onita though, was still paying all the wrestlers as if FMW was still a promotion that needed every yen to stay alive, and continued to pay many of the wrestlers a very low sum of money. Wally Yamaguchi, who had a falling out with Atsushi Onita a year earlier in 1990, and had help start the Universal Promotion, which was Lucha Libre wrestling in Japan, would end up starting up his own hardcore promotion, to go up against FMW. The promotion would be called W*ING. Wrestling International New Generation, a new group of hardcore wrestlers willing to give it their all, and not have Onita screwing them around money wise or being the only one to gain any kind of recognition from the promotion. Mr. Pogo and Victor Quinones would quit FMW, and join W*ING. FMW now had competition in the hardcore wrestling scene for the first time, and lost its number one heel and talent exchanger all at on time. FMW would be force to turn Tarzan Goto heel once again.

Ever since I read that Cornette shoot I've been obsessed with FMW.

Nope, that is reserved for "Quads of Steel" Triple H.

At the very least they should try him out at play-by-play if he gets injured again.
 
I recorded Raw on the DVR last night and was able to get through that hot mess in less than a half hour this morning before work. I couldn't find one single enjoyable segment or match in the entire show. I wonder why Regal didn't win the #1 contender match, i thought for sure there was going to be a MVP/Regal feud.

The whole basketball theme was really corny.
 
You've GOT to be fucking KIDDING ME.

Mr Kennedy, after making his long-awaited return to the RAW brand last night, suffered a wrist injury. While taking an RKO from Orton, he immediately rolled out of the ring holding his wrist. When the referee went to raise his arm, Kennedy immediately pulled his arm away, while in significant pain.

At this point, there is no word as to how severe the injury is, but the belief within WWE is that he will not miss any significant ring time.

Ha! Seriously.

At what point do you wake up and realize that maybe, just maybe, you just shouldn't be a professional wrestler?

The man is seriously starting to encroach on Rey's territory. I'd say he's eclipsed him, but at least Mysterio manages to accomplish things inbetween injuries.
