I really thought more people would be annoyed at them bringing up the whole Screwjob thing for no reason I'm really ticked, but I am trying to be more optimistic about wrestling. I'm TRYING to be less complainy, but I will say, on that specific situation, it was hard.

Um....so shouldn't Christian be World Champion? Their title DOES change hands on a DQ you know. Ugh, why bother asking. The NWA Title does. They haven't had the NWA Title for a long time. Yeah but that was a TNA rule...I think.

(5) Samoa Joe d. Robert Roode.
Aren't both of these guys suppost to be the "We're the new guys, screw the old guys, I want to be a big star" Heels?

I really thought more people would be annoyed at them bringing up the whole Screwjob thing for no reason It's silly, but I too am to the point that I just don't care. Apparently the rule can only apply to Abyss, when he is facing Sting, and is "dominating" by getting his ass kicked. This is the only time when a title may change hands via DQ. There, I think I've salvaged that rule.

Sadly, why can I see TNA justifying to themselves that this was NOTHING like the screwjob because the title DIDN'T change hands?

Joe is not a heel right now, pretty much a total asshole, but he has fan support. He just said on impact he's going to "keep destroying people" until he gets a better contract.

What about the fact that there pretty much was no screwjob cause Sylvan interfered before it happened?

You know, it's sad, but when the angle started, I kept saying "please, let them remember that the Millionaire's Club/New Blood deal didn't work because the young guys were teh assholes in the equation", yet, sadly, it seems to me that's where this is heading. Angry young guys who, dispite fan support, will be booked as the heels.

The only difference was that it was a fast count instead of a submission and Sylvan got involved and didn't let it happen. So it's a combo of Montreal and Starrcade 97 basically. But they had Hebner try to "screw someone else" in Montreal. So any fans who really aren't over it by now have more of a reason to hate Hebner since he kept it alive this way.

His constant lame french bashing was pathetic, none of them hadn't been done before a million times, and his constant surrender joke just got more and more lame. It's like taking the mick out of George W Bush for being thick, been done a million times by actual funny people, so by this point it's no longer interesting.

the screwjob re-enactment was stupid but i expected it as soon as i saw the word montreal, im pretty sure they signed him with the sole intent of milking it as much as they can and are probably paying him as much as some wrestlers so they can do it

Boring rascist bigot though? might as well have asked where his cheese and onions were the amount of elderly, and boring, stereotypes he was using.

Just a random update on their Canadian series of shows...
They drew around 3,000 in Oshawa on 12/30. Borash and Christian both hinted at a possible future PPV in Ontario because of how hot the crowd was.
They have a small clip on the website currently streaming as todays version of TNA Today.
