Now before you give me strange looks, watch any WCW show from June 1998 to around June 2000. He was one of the most over wrestlers in the company bar none. Yes he got the TV and Tag Team Titles around this period, but they could have easily given him a U.S. Title run, if only to see if it would work. What do you guys think? Because he's a vanilla Spanish midget!

I dunno, I'd feel bad asking him "Who sung your Toy Story theme?" and "Why did you steal Billy Gunn's old tights?"

Man, take away those old titles and TNA gets all good. What the hell? Seriously, they went from shit to awesome in one week. Are they finally trying?

I don't think the world title is big enough. If the middle frame was bigger, it would be perfect.

They just have too many roster members for a one hour show.

Sliced Bread has to take the cake. Also anymove with a number after it, like I think there's a Tigerplex 85 or something like that. At least in No Mercy some of the moves are named like that (and no, I'm not thinking Clothesline 1-4 and things like that).

What's with the bugle in the beginning? Isn't more of an American sounding theme than a Canadian one?

See -- it's stuff like that I hate. It makes the person seem so low-brow and stupid. Any jerkoff can curse a lot, but it takes a talented person to portray feelings.

I should go on record and say that I hated Promo Fiction.
Not so much that its 6 minutes of time for the entire roster, but the constant loop of Miserlou and the way they try to emulate Pulp Fiction annoys me. Yeah, it's a cool movie and all, but the way it came off was lame.

Shane isn't really a great promo guy. I feel like he would be one of the greats if he didn't use all the cursing. I mean, it's one thing to use curse words to amplify a feeling, and then there's using curses like you just learned them as a 10 year old. Douglas fits into the latter.
I'm not saying cursing shouldn't be done in wrestling, but Douglas uses it so much it takes away from whatever he has to say and it becomes more of a "why is he so immature all he can do is curse" kind of thing. Give me guys who can use words to manipulate feelings instead of guys who think the good idea of an "intense hatred promo" is "Sabu, you ain't shit!".

I say they make one of the stips to Women's Title Rank matches (meaning any match that would put divas in, or going for contention for the title) should be that the match could be won by pin, submission, count out or ripping the other diva down to their bra and panties.

ROH-Indy feds. Yeah, they can wrestle better than what's on TV. But most of the stuff I've seen was so boring. I can't get into it. Wanna know why? 1) The IWC's dream match, Samoa Joe v CM Punk has 8 minutes of stalling before any real action happens. After trying to stomach that, why should I go for any of the matches that won't hold a candle to that? Do they have 16 minutes of faux-tie ups? 2) Many of the guys are flat out boring. Watching WSX made me realize that too. I don't give a shit if they can out-wrestle Benoit if they don't give me a reason to like them. Say what you will about WWE but at least the characters give you something to identify them with.
Ministry Undertaker. Loved it as a kid. Going back, I hate how fat he was, and he looked dumb as shit with that goatee, and how stupidly and gimmicky he sounded. I did love him being so evil, but I like pre-Ministry Taker around WM14 best.
BikerTaker. Again, I liked him as a kid, but halfway through I hated him.
Flair. He needs to have the title to have any credibility now. He's just a jobber to the stars and lost all credibility to me.
Last Cactus Jack Run/Mick Foley. He just lost it for me after that HIAC match. Never liked him since. Yes, I do like Foley's older work, but 2000+ he's a bad character.

Last I checked Foley was fired so he's not obligated to RAW. So he can show up on whatever show he wants But...you said that they should show up on RAW tonight. Tonight is RAW and D&D are on Smackdown. You confuse me sir.

What sites do you go to when you're bored? I asked this because I'm currently looking for some new ones. I've already read all of sonic-cult.org (including X-Cult) and TMK. Not to mention all the back Nitros and all the RAWs I care about from Slash Wrestling. I need new sites to visit when I'm bored and looking to read stuff. Like video game beta sites, nostalgia sites (like I-Mockery and X-Entertainment) and wrestling sites (like some of the articles at Pulse Wrestling). Thanks for any and all links. Help out a crapper who has chemically linked going to bed with 40 minutes of browsing the Internet.

I have a feeling this is true...and I kinda think it might have been a Phil Hartman case.
WWE.com may be kayfabe, but they never announced Vince to be dead. He's only presumed to be dead. Wouldn't they have said the same for Beniot if it was part of the story?

When I first saw Sabin (which was on one of their On Demand matches) I thought he had some kinda cult gimmick with the "Hail Sabin" thing. Why don't they use that "Hail Sabin" and make it so he's a real cocky mofo who tells everyone that he IS the X-Division and that everyone needs to respect him, and that no one in the X-Division is giving him any respect.

I just seriously wanna see the buyrates for D2D. Does anyone buy a PPV for one match in the Pro Wrestling world? I know that MMA/Boxing cards are promoted over one match, but even then they'll at least announce the filler matches.
This PPV, they are putting the entire brand on the line by only promoting two matches.

I can't believe the WWE. Not just how they handled ECW and all the opportunity they've had with it, but just in general.
I hate having the feeling that if I were at the helms of the company (or at least one brand with a couple of other writers) I can progress the company leaps and bounds.
Watching WWE (or anything post-2000) is like watching a 3rd grader mess up their homework. You know that 9x4 is 36 but you can't do anything as they struggle to find the right answer.
