Piper! Ha! Right on! Rowdy Roddy. He was good. I like Flair too. The way he got up in Hogan's face..."Hey Big Guy..."
Whatever happened to the Dudley Boys? | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 12:23:38 AM | if tna is so much better why cant they fill arenas? why do they have to give tickets away to ppv events lol, why do there tv ratings suck? why do they have to recycle gimmicks vince russo already used in wwe..
the only thing tna really did right is 2 things the X division and the womans division(which gives them there highest ratings) | |

Posted: 3/10/2008 4:25:03 AM | | The move is called a GogoPlata. Its a legit BJJ choke but it is normally done with a Gi on. Its a really bad move for pro wrestling because to do it you have to be on your back. There is no reason to get on your back on purpose in wrestling. I know its worked but come on. | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 11:57:52 PM | campergod....I agree. that's bad marketing.
WCW struggled that way, so did ECW.
Love him or hate him, Vince Mcmahon re-wrote the standard.
Eric Biscoff deserves a world of credit for what he did for WCW before McMahon bought it...he was the only one out of all the bunch who said "Hey, no more giving away tickets to make the arena look full on TV....no more bullshit. He made it compete with WWE, and raised the standard. WCW was riddled with old school puritan wrestlers who wanted old style format, but that format really looked lame on PPV. TNA can't last. I think the cards are dealt already. I'm not comparing them with TNA but TNA will either have to learn and change or die out. | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 12:25:20 PM | I loved WCW and was a huge nWo fan back in the day and Bischoff was the only guy to take the fight to Vince and nearly put him out of business.
I still watch a little bit nowadays, but mainly Raw and just read the Smackdown spoilers.
ECW (or WWECW) isn't even worth my time and went to hell in a handbasket since RVD got busted with the drugs in 2006 and they had to give the title to Big Show. | |

I agree. WCW changed everything with NWO storylines. It made Mcmahon take a second look and gave him serious competition. I always liked Biscoff...he was an outsider to most of his staff,,,white boy, pretty boy never laced the boots....but he saw marketing, which is what Vince used to change the face of wrestling to begin with...hollywood style. I'm not trying to take away from the sport, because those guys have to be very agile to perform those types of maneuvres...they deserve a world of credit and beyond. What Eric did for the WCW would have been a serious threat to WWE in my mind, had the Turner Network not fell to corporate slugs. Now that Vince owns the whole package, he'd better hire some damn good writers...competition kept wrestling alive...now he owns the game...and it's stagnating. I personally think that Big Show and John Cina are ok, but not the larger than life stars that Vince so desperately needs right now. Biscoff turned Hogan into heel and many laughed, but it sold out arenas every time. I think it was Razor Ramone who played a key role in the birth of NWO. Hope something good comes down the pipes soon. | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 12:26:43 PM | | TNA and WWE both suck serious ass I don't even watch them any more. You want real wrestling watch Ring Of Honor that's all I watch. Anybody else watch ROH? | |

Posted: 4/30/2008 11:41:42 PM | BigDaddyCool...Amen. My sons are obsesses with the WWE. I watch those matches with them, but I wonder what they see in them. Cena to me does funny backstage interviews, and plays a part in the soap, period. I make a point to show my sons alot of other wrestling...old Stampede, ECW with a younger thinner Benoit, WCW under Eric
and alot of WWE also, not to persuade them to my thinking about it all, but to expose them to all views of the sport.
When Orton faced Benoit in 04 for the belt, that was a match!!! Those guys punished themselves!!! Stuff like that...old Dudlies, Old Flair....Dynamite Kid with Japan Wrestling. It's gone I think, whatever forces drove it. Hope he gets it back. | |

You're entitled to your opinion but both Hogan and Cena have made the WWE millions, so it would be foolish to get rid of Cena because someone doesn't like him.
If you hate the "cartoon foolish wrestling", then you're better off watching TNA or ROH. Vince McMahon hasn't been about the actual wrestling for decades now and it works for him. | |

Posted: 5/4/2008 10:05:42 PM | | We just came back from Hamilton...wrestlemania revenge, may 3. I loved it. Obviously it's an ongoing saga type of thing, and they're gonna lead us up to the title winner (which I should have guessed right away, as he had the biggest mug on the cover of the program.) But it was decent. All of the undercards were good. Alot of acrobatic typre maneuvres, especially Kendrick and London, Carlita was good, Regal and Kennedy did a damn good match up, Jericho was excellent. Seeing it live, I appreciated what those guys do for a living. It's a visual sport. We all know it's scripted, and so be it. It can't be easy to perform on demand like that. It isn't real fighting, so the wrestlers have to keep every second of it alive. I was impressed, and I realized that probably one in one thousand wrestlers might make it to a WWE level, and then, another one in 1000 might make a lasting impression. I thought Kennedy and Regal worked their asses off that night. I think the people who want true sport fights will go to ufc and the like. I don't care for Cena...they've hyped him beyond his performance...as if they'd manufactured a champ on press Triple H, by the way, holds the World Title now. I was hoping for Orton, but then, he's a model on the side...nice to see him get put down too. We'll go back. Prefer WCW under Bischoff...better storylines I think. But I'm going to check out ROH...sounds interesting. Mcmahon should never have cornered himself with his monopoly. We need an outside source of competition to keep it alive. Someone tell Vince to quit buying up everyone...for his sake and ours!!! | |

Posted: 5/4/2008 10:07:16 PM | Big daddy cool...on the Undertaker....I heard it was a sort of Crossface, like Benoit's.
Heard that it got him in alot of shit...he was damaging people. I don't know for certain, but I'd like to. | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 6:30:40 PM | | I know John cena is a draw but not that big look the ratings keeping going down and half the crowd boos his ass. I must not be the only one that dosn't like him. I've tried watching tna but when I seen "A RAT ON A POLE MATCH" I said goodbye. I guess I'm just a old school attiude era fan. | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 6:14:29 PM | | Actually, I thoroughly enjoy TNA wrestling. It is a good organization with some great talent, that like WWE, doesn't get pushed the way they should. Sure, some of the gimmick matches are pathetic, but hmmm, lets think about this for a second. WWE had what, the Kennel in the Cell match? | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 10:58:12 PM | | Being stuck in the UK I have nowhere near the insight into WWE that you guys in the US have, but I have to agree that the stories and the overall standards have gone downhill in the years I've watched it. I mean the whole hornswaggle being vince's kid saga.... what a load of rubbish that was! I hope the writer got fired on the spot! WWE has so few real characters left..... Jericho is probably the biggest personality now. Cena came accross as a rebel when he first appeared, but he's just a pawn now to stay in with a title chance. HHH has lost his appeal, Kurt Angle should never have been allowed to leave, and Neither should Brock Lesner. Admittedly I have no idea about the behind the scenes stuff with those guys, but they were the ones everyone in the UK wanted to see. | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 12:12:02 AM | | TNA is great if you enjoy their crazy style of "adrenaline rush" type of programming. But WWE is how people see wrestling and if it isn't WWE... they don't want it. Thus TNA has their core 1.1 rating audience and nothing they do seems to change that. | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 12:13:23 AM | | Paul Heyman had an article up recently where he talked about what TNA needs. Not better wrestling or storylines. MARKETING. TNA needs to market themselves so that the people know they're out there. Honestly I have only seen commercials for TNA on Spike... and not many at that. Not that I watch it much anymore... | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 3:49:41 PM | | TNA needs to get new tv writers. Impact is the worst show i've ever watched, the storylines are WCW 2000 bad. Their ppv's and from what I hear the house shows are phenominal. Get rid of Russo and hire Heyman. It's as simple as that. | |
