A few sentences later, they talked about how Rhino was just this mid carder and won the title. Well, Rhino has been booked pretty decently up to that point in TNA, even wrestling for the title against Raven, so it's not like he was some schmuck in the company. Now granted, Rhino was back in the midcard soon after, and the title reign was pretty meaningless, so again, you see a bad critique followed up by a good one. Rhino had also head lined 2 PPV's the months prior and was in the main event of the very first Impact against I believe Jeff Hardy or Sabu. Hardly a "Midcard" guy. He was one of TNA's top guys when he beat Jarrett. TNA obviously thought so since there attempt at a "big time" match for their first show featured him. He also head lined an Australian Tour and they sold 1000-1500 tickets each night with him on top. Not bad for a "Midcarder" Maybe a little bit after that, though I'm not sure later on though. Rhino never seemed to make it in that spot again, and was seemingly pushed out of the way for people like Christian and Sting.

Major push now consists of beating Gunner 3 times and surviving against Kurt Angle. Okayyy... Let's see. He ref'd Hogan/Sting at BFG '11 and was the one who called Hogan's submission, which led to his father hitting him with a steel chair and his subsequent face turn. He made his wrestling debut against Gunner (who his father sic'd on him) almost a month later, and won by DQ (Flair interference). Nearly a month after that, he beat Gunner again, but Gunner piledrove him into concrete, "injuring" him. His return in January '12 included vignettes of him training and Gunner trying to hunt him down (and getting into a fight with others). The reveal of Hogan as his mentor was one of TNA's favorite "OMG MYSTERY GUY!" method of reveals, complete with the massively overused bit where someone on the opposing side gets a glimpse of who it is, freaks out, and proceeds not to tell anyone until the actual reveal. He beat Gunner AGAIN, this time on PPV, then main evented an Impact teaming with Jeff Hardy to beat Gunner and Angle. For the two weeks after that tag main, he had two Beat the Clock matches against Angle, both of which he survived, the first in five minutes, the second in three. This culminated in him captaining a Lethal Lockdown team, getting the pin in the match, and ousting his father. All of this was part of that aforementioned father/son feud, which was treated as a pretty major part of Impact. Quite a few faces, including Hogan (the "future of wrestling" bit happened on the UK tour that year and had to be edited because the crowd was booing them out of the building) and his entire Lethal Lockdown team shilled the ever-loving hell out of the guy. All in all, from his face turn until Eric's ousting where TNA pretty much kicked him to the midcard to follow Devon around like a lost puppy, it can be argued that he was pushed pretty heavily. ...I should go document all that on the page. People, if you see anything on the LOL pages that needs editing or deletion, please feel free to edit.

Reffing a major match and beating a Midcarder a few times whilst you manage to simply survive by the skin of your teeth against a main eventer isn't a major push. You'd have a great case if Garrett beat Angle but in all honesty the dude's been around for 2 years now and his biggest story line to date was the midcard feud with his dad. He's hardly setting the world on fire.

As for the actual LOLTNA page, it's funny but it tries too hard. Some of these criticisms don't make a lot of sense.

- The wedding occurred on the January 17 edition of Impact. Towards the end of the ceremony Taz, who had been one of Bully's groomsmen, turned heel and joined Aces & Eights. Aces then crashed the ceremony, attacked every male present, and held Brooke and forced her to watch... but she seemed more concerned about keeping her nips from falling out of her low cut dress that she decided to wear for the segment. After the beatdown Brooke ran to her father while covering her bosoms and whispered "my boobs are out" loud enough for the camera to pick it up. Hulk responded by saying "GO CHECK ON BULLY ... OH GOD." Brooke then accidentally ran past her fiance and checked on Tommy Dreamer instead.
This part definitely made me LOL

This is hilarious for many reasons: Bruno Sammartino was advertised to appear as a special guest at ringside and periodic in ring updates were made, unfortunately the final update announced that he had gotten lost on his way to the arena. To this day Bruno never managed to find his way to the arena.

I've been watching some old ECW shows and they need a LOL page for some of their overbooked nonsense. Case in point: Raven retains the ECW World title in a combination Cage Match/Falls Count Anywhere 6 man tag match by being pinned by The Sandman. had Stevie Richards been pinned in the match, Raven would have lost the title.

I don't even remember that, how does a cage/falls count anywhere match even work!? Isn't the cage supposed to keep the guys in the ring?

Stevie will start on the top stage with Terry "Bamm Bamm" Gordy. Whoever hits the floor first gets to walk right into the cage where Raven is battling the Sandman. Meanwhile it's "Prime Time" Brian Lee and Tommy Dreamer, falls count anywhere, and I mean anywhere in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Now remember, Raven is not defending the World Heavyweight title. Stevie Richards is. If Richards gets beat in this match, Raven loses the World Heavyweight Title." Gordy wound up throwing Stevie off the stage almost immediately and started heading towards the cage, so that first stipulation wound up being pointless anyway.

![](http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/pictures/nash.jpg) "Hulk has a completely different aspect of the business, Eric has a different aspect of the business, Vince has a different aspect, Dixie has a different aspect ... There's this pot that's on the f***ing kettle and me and Sean (Waltman) say 'hey man you know what would be good right now, some f***ing venison chili' so we put some venison in and we put some chili beans in and we put some other shit in and we walk away. And then they grab it and say 'what is this a piss test?' and the two guys piss in it. Then Dixie says 'what is this a stool sample?' and she shits in it. Then f***ing Russo goes 'what is this matzo ball soup?' he throws matzo balls in it ... There's just way too many f***ing chips." Kevin Nash is pro wrestling's answer to Winston Churchill.

Many of these articles get harder to read the more recent the entries get. Some of the contributors really ratchet up the snark and either make big deals out of things that at the time were nothing to worry about or create flimsy reasons to be outraged over something that was essentially meaningless and forgettable. Then again, that's what people on here and every other pro wrestling board do every week. Still, fun stuff.
