Are there any wrestlers out there that don't have the typing skills of a 14-year-old girl?

So.....where is the "lashing out at fans"? I'd guess the "How about learning to cut a promo or do backstage s*** before u shoot on a company." part but that could be directed at any number of people. |

So.....where is the "lashing out at fans"? Read the post, he is angry with the fans because they criticized the whole "wrestling matters" campaign. Rather than having a public temper tantrum, it would have been better if he just rose above the cyber hecklers and ignored them. |

Promos do help build to a match. The problem lies within the fact that the majority of promos are done by Bischoff & Hogan, 2 guys that don't wrestle. Said promos also shouldn't take up anywhere between 20-45 minutes, as Immortal has done in the past. You also don't need to do so many promos. Promos should build to matches. Matches should tell the majority of the story. Nobody wants to sit down and hear people speak endlessly. I can watch people stand around and talk in everyday life. Wrestle. It's as simple as that.

Considering all the recent stuff people get offended about, that's really nothing. And, it helps that it's true....  you know, between this and the battleground we have every time Bischoff posts something, wrestling fans are just the most insecure people ever..... |

Wait wait wait...
Why are we paying attention to what Gunner has to say? He's Gunner.

Company line, no surprise. Gunner's been around a while, loyal to TNA/Impact, and he's servicable. He's their Hardcore Holly, getting a "thank you" push. Why jeopardize that payday by saying anything beyond the script?
My issue with the idea is this. If the skits and promos lead to nothing but more skits and promos (many of which are done backstage, then the lack of payoff will lead to something they don't want. If you tell me I'm going to see "wrestling" and I either shell out a good chunk of change or stand in line for hours, I expect to see people in the ring going full speed. I may get some promos that lead to stuff or build up to the big match, but the match IS the key and centerpiece to it all.
I may go to a restaurant and be blown away by the atomosphere, the decor, the musical selection, and the incredibly friendly waitstaff, but ultimatly I'm there to eat a good meal. If the frienldy waiter brings me the best damn rolls I've ever had and is great with keeping my drink refilled, I'm a happy guy who will love the "extras". However, if I sit there for two horus and they keep promising the main course, but it never arrives, will I be happy?
Hell no. And if a waiter or member of management told me that "it's the total experience that matters here, not just the meal" and that by demanding the food that I expected and not being happy to sit and enjoy the atmosphere I "don't get it" then feeling insulted is absolutely understandable on my part.

Is Gunner really telling other people to learn how to do a promo? I think he needs to learn first. Dude is terrible.

I think the real issue here is that TNA Impact Wrestling really needs to reign in their talent. Even recently when some rabid fans threatened physical harm to Randy Ortan we didn't see Ortan, Christain, Vince, HHH or anyone else involved tear the fans apart on Twitter or any other social media platform |

Gunner is the the man.
This is from someone who routinely mocks TNA, their new slogan, and just about everything they do. I hope he wins the BFG series.
