So Rain missed her cue. The announcers missed their cue. Robert Roode missed his cue. Everyone missed their cue, except Traci. Great job Alvarez.
How about this story. Traci fainted during a match and because its pro wrestling people think theres a swerve or story involved, but since NO ONE knew about it and nothing came of it, it was just a legitamite fainting.
But thats not hot enough copy.
And Lance Storm is always very right on about his critiques of TNA. Alvarez is an idiot and gets facts messed up constantly. The difference is Lance Storm worked in this business and Alvarez is a mark with a name.

My posts must have some sort of subliminal messages in them that I, myself, am not seeing. Because I don't know how a joke about the way a story was written is me labeling anybody a 'hack'. I'm sorry if my sense of humor regarding wrestling isn't understood with others around here who take internet wrestling writers more seriously than I ever will. Or maybe I should change my disclaimer in the signature to orange so everyone can see it clearer. It wasn't really meant at you, it was more a general thing I've seen several people bring the hate for Alvarez. Also for the other post, Alvarez rips the crap out of the WWE, if you listen to his free show he does after Raws he despises Hornswoggle. His the "wwe can get away with it" is the same premise Lance Storm had in his rants. They're a big company that makes money and has an established audience..TNA is none of those. That doesn't excuse the WWE for doing stupid crap but their mistakes won't put them out of business where TNA still can get to that point. So do you think Lance is in the same boat with Bryan..honest question. honest answer... no. while i don't agree with everything lance says he never comes off as petty as alvarez does. that is just from my perspective though. here is a pretty good example of problems with the way alvarez conducts his articles. well let's see. vince not knowing the name of the people filing a lawsuit against him (which will mysteriously be dropped and never mentioned again after a lawyer gives hints to vince mcmahon until his son is revealed. this is how most child support cases are handled) is essential for the storyline so it is ok. he finds this "pretty stupid" but for the most part he is okay with it because they only ignored reality to cover up plot holes in their angle that could never happen in the real world. then sting reveals the restraining order against a woman that attacked him a few weeks prior. you see alvarez forgot to mention that the reason sting got the restraining order was because karen and kurt physically attacked him. getting facts straight when reporting on tna just doesn't seem to be his priority. after sting reveals the restraining order he comes closer to karen and police/security escort her away. that whole segment was just a few moments, and alvarez has already sat through a wwe angle with so many plot holes kane would laugh at it, but it was these few moments that insulted his intelligence. alvarez isn't making any claims that wwe can get away with it because they are more popular. he basically just defends the wwe while sometimes calling them "pretty stupid" and pans tna at every turn basing his rants off of rumors and false info on a regular basis. it is easy to be annoyed with the way he does things if you ask me.

You're joking right? They are basing a report on "According to a source who overheard a conversation involving individuals who would absolutely know". What a load of crap. This guy "gets it". The rest of you? Well, let's just say for some of you your bitter hatred of Russomania is clouding your better judgment. This is straight-up 100% Limburger NEWZ at its worst, folks.

After reading that statement, it now appears that he is just bitter that one of the big two promotions will not employ him.
