About everything. Dude, Shawn is merely being sarcastic and over-the-top. If you honestly think his character is now that of some little kid, open your eyes. This may seem over-the-top and serious and all, but I really don't see it at all. I have to agree, and even if he is acting like a 5 year old....well that means the VKM has declared war...on a 5 yr old. What does that make them....4? Well, all I know is, they've completely dumbed down a character I used to enjoy a lot, christian overtones and all. Now, he's just a dude with some kind of ADD.

This may seem over-the-top and serious and all, but I really don't see it at all. Yeah and while I *do* agree that some of the stuff HBK has done since he's been back in DX has been a bit childish (like the stuff with the plane and how he was acting when they were having their 4th of July BBQ), you gotta remember that he *did* act a bit like a child when the Original DX was around. Just the way he would laugh at Triple H's genitalia jokes and jump around are prime examples of the way he was acting. These days, it's kinda like IMO the old, childish DX HBK meeting the Born-Again Christian HBK and while at the beginning he seemed to hold back because of his beliefs, he's *really* let loose these past few weeks/month and seems a lot more comfortable in what he's doing nowdays than when DX first reunited back in June. And while DX might be a bit childish at times, VKM just seems desperate for attention. So to me, DX is better because it has better performers and better chemistry in it than in VKM.

Moreover, VKM IS declaring war on the five year old, because, as part of basically DX's glory years, they're pissed to see Shawn and Hunter basically pissing on the legacy they helped build by acting like a couple of morons(More Shawn than Hunter).

And King Booker is being portrayed as an actual king. Dude, it's called being over-the-top. It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, but HBK has not been dumbed down at all. He's purposelly acting that way, kayfabe-wise.

Have you seen Ric Flair act lately..or these past few years? If Shawn acts like a kid with ADD, then Ric belongs in the nut house.

He doesn't always act like a mental patient. I could probably count on one hand the number of inanimate objects he's elbow dropped in the past few years. Shawn's just all retard, all the time.

Well, it is his opinion, though i'd like to hear his defense of VKM I won't wholly defend VKM, because I think the basic premise, like a lot of people do, is stupid. However, the way their going about it makes it obvious they're not 100% serious about it, and honestly, they're not saying anything that's not said here 1000 times a day by different people. They say the WWE product sucks, and this, by and large, is true. They criticize the use of oily, fat, naked men, which completely deserves criticism. They criticize Vince for his fixation on his own ass, which is a completely rational complaint. Are there better ways to go about it? Yeah, but honestly, VKM's not that bad.

So, just cause they say what you believe makes them decent. This worked-shoot mentality aggrivates me just for that reason, cause it generates quick fan support EDIT: also, "2 dumb to the Xtreme?" that's possibly the dumbest nickname of all time.

But there's so many problems with this. The basic argument is very subjective. There's no real point. What's the payoff? It's not like the WWE will actually acknowledge them, and if they do I'm pretty sure they'll burn them in 10 seconds worse than what VKM could try to do in this entire run. Vince isn't gonna strut his way out on the Impact Zone, there's absolutely no point to it. At least DX is there to sell merchandise and pop crowds.

I have to agree again. Just because they say what most of us know is true doesn't mean they aren't bad. They are horribly trying to parody DX and WWE doesn't care one bit. TNA is not competition to WWE. Seriously...Vince could just go down to Florida, walk into the iMPACT zone, buy TNA and fire TNA. All without batting an eye showing his ass.

The irony of it all is that Gunn and Dogg wouldn't be in their current position if it weren't for DX.

An uneeded "pseudo-shoot" angle vs. the guys who keep making dick jokes?
Sign me up for "equally childish".

What sickens me most is TNA claims to be the new face of wrestling...and they waste all their time that could be used to make matches longer...by making 3-4 VKM segments a night.
