Yeah the PCS is really funny and I like it, and Id rather see it then a 4 mins X-Divison Match, BUT the PCS isnt gonna make anyone care for Sonjay or whatever I gotta disagree. Now that I understand Sonjay a little better I am more inclined to root for him in his matches Is it enough yet? No. He needs to be more unique. Starr, Senshi, and Shelley are becoming more and more unique. Lethal and Sonjay are doing good but they aren't really setting themselves apart |

I'm fairly certain Storm used to help book for ECW. Not 100% sure though. Either way, don't WE discuss the quality of wrestling shows all the time? He's just putting his thoughts out there. I agree with everything besides the PCS. And although the segments are hilarious, it really is sad how they don't even get to wrestle anymore, which really is what the X Division should be about. Oh well. Shut up, seriously. Ooh, Lance Storm booked some minor league feeding system. Once he can book a show that draws a 5.0 Nielsen rating, then he can have a better perspective. - The Preceding Message Has Been Brought to You on the Behalf of Mr. Eric Bischoff Well Lance should watch more Japanese shows, so he can steal there ideas and make millions off them as well. Nevermind having the biggest draw of the previous decade shock the wrestling world by turning heel. Bischoff was good at arranging ideas into things that work, not coming up with them himself. Otherwise, the nWo might not have choked WCW into oblivion. Being on the booking team that ended up having most of their ideas stolen by their two biggest competitors, nevermind their wrestlers, who actually had the money from years previous to dole out, says something the man helping come up with those ideas yes? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery is it not? |

I understand Lance about the X-division.
The wrestlers are doing backstage skits and barely wrestling. And right now with only 1 hour it is either the backstage skits or the wrestling. I don't think anyone wants to see Sonjay Dutt or Jay Lethal twice and have them fill up 10 minutes of a 1 hour show. So you need to make a choice and TNA has chosen for backstage skits to give them some personality.
But lets not forget that Nash is carrying those skits, together with Shelly and the only person really benefiting from it is Low-Ki because he plays the straight man in those skits.
In the end the only way this can work out for the X-division wrestlers is if the actually learn from Nash and end up being able to cut their own promos and be funny on their own.

IWC: I love the PCS, brilliant stuff. Lance Storm: The PCS is ridiculous. IWC: Well, the PCS is funny, but no one really cares about it or anyone in it. Storm's right.  I love Storm as much as the next guy, but he's off base about the PCS on this one all the way. |

I love Storm as much as the next guy, but he's off base about the PCS on this one all the way. I agree that he is too, i was just trying to analyze his reasoning behind his opinion. Originally, the X-Division was (I felt) a little like what the Pure Title was in RoH (I know the X-Division title existed before the Pure Title, just hear me out). Guys like Sabin, AJ, Jerry Lynn, Low-Ki & such. It was moreso about WRESTLING. The X-Division was about Sport rather than Entertainment. Now, the PCS is bringing that comical aspect to it as a replacement for the dreadful Jackass stuff. I enjoy the PCS & think it's funny as hell, but Storm is more of a Wrestler than a Sports Entertainer. I guess he'd just prefer to see Sonjay, Lethal et al. compete in actual matches rather than have them be in comedy skits. |

the pcs is the only time i think i'll ever disagree with lance storm. I like the PCS as well, but I may change my opinion of it if it doesn't work towards a great payoff in the form of a reenegized X-Division. These guys needed their characters fleshed out long ago, so for that the PCS is doing wonders. But there better be a payoff with some great in ring action and compelling angles, or it'll be for nothing. |

And now Storm's started the snowball. The PCS became too popular, so here comes the internet backlash.

I have never marked out for the PCS like everyone else on this board has. I never thought of making a thread about it because I didnt think that the feeling of the IWC was so one sighted. Alot of people bashed Storm's oppinion. Truth, I made my thread after reading this one, but its not like I changed my oppinion after reading it too. |

And now Storm's started the snowball. The PCS became too popular, so here comes the internet backlash. No it hasn't. But like I said before. Those skits have three people who make it work. Kevin Nash as the funny man with the dry sense of humor, Alex Shelly who is the second man and takes the humour into the absurd and Low-Ki as the straight man who makes it a lot funnier. Those others are just material to work with and they should learn from Nash and I hope those skits give them a rub. But end those skits and they are back on their own again. From a comedy standpoint PCS is great. But a long term plan that will benefit all it sure isn't. |

I don't see how the PCS is "doing wonders" for fleshing out the X-Division wrestlers' characters. If anything, all it's probably doing is confusing the casual fan flipping through the channels, sees Nash and goes "hey I remember him! Damn, he's stil wrestling?!? Who are all those little guys? Where's Goldberg? He'd beat them all at the same time.....Who the hell is Bob Backlund? Is that Hulk Hogan's real name or something?"
To me, 1 hour of Impact is too short to waste on pointless skits that drag on for weeks and weeks, and don't even set up meaningful matches.
