I dunno how I feel about Jarrett. I have a love/hate relationship with him. But it feels very fresh right now, which is always a good thing. So I'm glad he's back.
I'd like to see him vs Angle on the basis that in his absence Angle has been ruining the company he built.

Dear TNA: Does this not seem like a bad idea to you? If so, you are probably stupid. Sort of love, CHIKARAmigo. I guess I'm stupid then. Not trying to flame you or anything, but I'm really getting sick of this crap when it comes to TNA. "Oh noes! Vince Russo is trying to do something that has been attempted before! It's crap! Who cares about, you know, giving it a chance. It's Russo! It must suck!" Oh please. To be fair...look at Russo's track record. How many more chances can we give the guy? I don't wanna say you're stupid if you give everybody unlimited "chances", whether it be something as minute as a wrestling writer or as serious as a cheating girlfriend, but I can't think of a better word for someone who keeps giving people chances when they don't deserve them than stupid.

why in a 2/3 falls match, does a heel not start the match with some insane weapon shot, taking the dq for the first fall, but leaving the opponent unable to get up for the 2 consecutive falls and win the match in about 20 seconds? why are tv cameras invisible to everyone backstage? why are tv cameras allowed to film police investigations? (goldbert stalking liz, austin hit by a car) if wrestlers in a blood feud hate each other so much, but are always in the same towns, arenas, locker rooms, why dont they just fight there instead of waiting for a match at the end of the night or at a ppv? why would anybody aim at second or third tier titles instead of the world title? if punches are illegal, why does nobody get dq'd for them? why do people who are obviously in the arena at the time only make the save after the person has had the tar beaten out of them? I really wish there would be a fed that acknoledges this crap. I think if they did backstage scenes like the Office it would be good.

Sounds like something Raven would be perfect for.

2 Things:
1) Where is this posted? 2) What does he mean Striker is replacing Foley?

I think this is a good idea. If it'll lead to better writing I'm all for it.

Kurt, Samoa and Taz. Why? They are all booked as bad-asses and work a stiffer technical style that makes them look like they inflict a lot of pain.

Well take a look at all the newcomers in the last couple years: Cody Rhodes Ted DiBiase Chris Masters Kenny Dykstra John Cena (before Steph found out he could rap) All generic looking smurfs. That's why they never got over, because WWE thinks that what we want are handsome-toned clean-cut guys in underwear. And I know I'm missing a good 10-20 people who fit that list who have debuted since 2002 that were just generic looking guys. Austin would have been like that. Who would have cared? It's just another guy with blond hair who can wrestle. He wouldn't have been given any personality as the Ringmaster, and would have been released or retconned before he would have been given a chance to become Stone Cold. That was the thing about Stone Cold when he debuted and even afterwards he did look very generic. It was his charisma and mic work that got him over more than anything. Most the guys nowadays don't get a chance to work the mic properly as all there promos are scripted by the bookers mostly. That's partly what's wrong with wrestling on a hole at the present compared to 10 years ago. There scared to take any risks with there workers anymore. They did in the past (take risks) and two of there biggest (and probably a lot more) came of it Stone Cold and The Rock. Just by letting them be there selves (just with the volume turned right up!) and do there own thing to a point. I disagree. Maybe for a while he still looked generic, but give him the street clothes look and the vests and he wasn't so generic anymore. But you're right. If he was stuck with what the E would give him, he would be floundering around the mid-card (if even brought up from developmental). He wouldn't be able to curse, or make catch phrases, or be a bad ass, or hell, even give that Stone Cold smile he has. He'd basically be a robot spewing out either "I'm prettier than you" or "I'm a better wrestler than you" crap like every other generic smurf WWE thinks we fans like. You know, I honestly don't think Vince likes wrestling. I think the only times he gets motivated is when his company is being run in the limelight and thats when all his creativity comes out. When it's in it's lowpoints between bursts, he just doesnt care. Like, have you seen Beyond the Mat where he's talking to Droz about his gimmick? You honestly think that same transcript would happen today? Vince wouldn't encourage anyone to be a puking wrestler, he would have told Droz to lose the piercings and cut his hair, and gain 40 pounds and then he might have a shot.

I remember, for some reason, back during his "Prototype" days, the Apter mags were constantly comparing him, in looks anyways, to Sting without the face paint. Looking at Cena, I never really got that. I remember this too. Although the gimmick seems like ass. A wrestling cyborg? Aren't we past the whole "superhuman" bullshit in pro-wrestling? Like, first of all, we as humans know there are no such things as cyborgs. Secondly, if he was the first cyborg ever built, he wouldn't be wrestling in front of 100 people.

if Punk can make Cena interesting...maybe this WWE PG won't be such a bad thing.

World Champion faces Wrestler A at PPV, retains, and then the next show World Champion cuts a promo, cue Wrestler B's music, next Title match at PPV is made. Yeah, I miss number one contender matches. Now, they don't even use number one. They use "next contender". Like what the f*** is that?

Ok, I think I got it figured out.
In all seriousness, I think Ashley has some kind of mental illness. I think she left the WWE to deal with it (or the WWE let her leave on good terms because they don't want her to explode on the road and basically sent her home).
Since she kept changing her alibi to who "was sick", my theory gets that much more merit. First it was her daughter, then it was her family member...I think Ashley has some kind of schizophrenia or something of the sort. I think she's also afraid to admit it, which is why she didn't go into detail and kept blaming other people.
Now that she went to see a doctor and got meds that are working, she's ready to come back. Which is good for her.
But I want a medal for deciphering this whole mess.

It's good news that whatever medication her daughter is taking is working. I think it's the medication she's taking. To be completely honest.

I love these kinds of topics. TNA has so much waste in their roster it's incredible. For a promotion that only needs like 30 wrestlers they sure do employ a lot of crap.
Who would I release....
BG James (realistically, put him in the announce booth or keep him as an agent) Frank Trigg (Angle doesn't need more people to play off of for f***'s sake) Kevin Nash (not even as a manager, maybe a color commentator but not on-air anymore ever) Kip James (can't even think of a placement for him) Johnny Devine (although I would much rather pick off Jimmy Rave and put Devine in with Hoyt) Rhaka Khan Jacqueline (she's past her prime) Matt Morgan (TOO f***ING BLAND) Moose Raisha Saaed Robert Roode (will never get over by himself) Tracey Brooks
That's the fat in their roster. I can make some cuts that I'd personally do but it wouldn't be beneficial and the roster would be too small....somehow they put so much filler in their roster page it looks like they employ the same amount of that are on Smackdown and RAW combined.

They should do weekly auditions of who will become the Raw GM and Steph and Shane will decide if he/she gets the role. Like one week they can have Funaki and we can see him get his ass kicked all day on Raw. Then another week we can bring back Trish but Trish doesn't make it for she is prettier then Steph. Then another week you can have The Boogeyman with a suit and tie. You get the point now.... That's something only WWE writers could come up with....THATS IT GUYS, HE'S THE MOLE!

Ok, here's what I want you to do. Look outside the window. Do you see the trees? Do you see the grass, and the sun? Good. Now do yourself a favor, and go outside there. No...leave the laptop here. Just...just go outside for a bit. There is more to life than roleplaying as a guy who roleplays as the Ultimate Warrior on a wrestling website. Please go out and explore it. Please... Don't be jealous because you know my WARRIAH gimmick totally crushes your so 1998 Gillberg gimmick. EDIT- oh BTW *warriah unprotected chairshot to gillberg* My God. It's too late. He's already lost.
