That was the scary debate me and my friend had after watching this... if Lesnar is a) coming off a near death experience from disease b) only had 6 fights c) just beat the biggest, baddest fighter they had to throw at him...
Is there any chance Brock will lose as he gets better in the next 3-5 years?

That was a work. The host she slapped, Peter Rosenberg, is a HUGE wrestling fan(his favorite is Flair). He opens his show every Sunday night with a promo from Randy Savage. So it is the guy from DC... I always wondered what happened to him.

Rhyno excelled in ECW because of Heyman's "hide all weakness" booking. He didn't fare as well in the bigger WWE because WWE used size as the only way to create a monster heel.

I love the armchair quarterback mentality of this board sometimes.
Joe and RVD on a cable television channel that I pay for monthly already... why yes. That makes me thrilled that I won't have to pay to watch it on Pay Per View. I want TNA to survive and all, but... getting matches like that for free is more important to me, the fan. Not me, the guy who pretends to know how to run a pro-wrestling company.

There was a time when I thought Petey was going to be the next big TNA guy. It was right about that time of AJ & Daniels teaming up and LAX really being the best thing in wrestling about a couple weeks prior to Russo coming in.
LAX recruits Petey to help them burn the US Flag by saying he too should hate the US, blah blah blah. Petey goes with them and ends up taking them all out... this was in the middle of the LAX/AJ&Daniels feud, and it really seemed like Petey was the next LAX target.
Then in comes Russo, and LAX goes from badness, serious stable to a walking stereotype without a mouthpiece, less violence, and a bottle of tequilla to a less and less relevant tag team... *shakes head*. I always wonder if Russo never comes in and Konnan doesn't leave TNA, what would have happened to LAX.
Back to the topic... I always enjoyed watching Petey, but being the third knockoff gimmick was just stupid stupid stupid. STUPID STUPID STUPID.

...if this is the guy that used to have the late show after Don and Mike in DC and I think it is, then I'd definitely call this a work. The dude was a huuuge wrestling fan.

Jesus... anyone in their right mind could have called this after watching Thursday. This isn't a spoiler it's just a logical guess.

This has to be BS... anyone that thinks Kazarian will be a star has to have at least a mild mental handicap. So you are hinging your argument that this story is BS on the basis that TNA's management isn't impaired by some kind of debilitating intellectual deficiency? I'm not saying the story is true, but I'd find another concept to base my assumption on if I were you because that one is unstable. Must've been the fumes from cleaning my bathroom earlier... You are completely and utterly correct.

The most common Kurt Angle complaint I hear on these boards is he did nothing to spike the ratings. Actually I believe he did... hell, he definitely spiked buy rates initially. After his name appeal wears thin to viewers, it's up the company to put him in an interesting situation to continually to keep his appeal high to everyone.
That being said.. to me... Kurt Angle is like Jeff Jarret with WCW & WWF. He did a lot in both and I can't define him as simply a TNA/WWE guy. He's made a big mark on TNA and as some other people have pointed out, he's helped get a lot of guys in TNA over. If it wasn't for Russo, Jay Lethal would've been main eventing a long time ago after Angle let Lethal pin him clean. Yeah, I know, you can't blame Russ for everything.. but I do. Yep.
I'd rather him end his career with TNA because he's putting on amazing matches and unless WWE suddenly reverted back 7 years and he was able to wrestle Benoit/Malenko/Booker in his prime/Rock/Jericho on a constant basis, I prefer him in TNA.

Ha remember when his angle was losing weight to win the cruiserweight belt? They should try that again. Wasn't that Christian? And without Kurt and Mick... it just wouldn't be the same. "Hey! My chicken suit!"

Most have day jobs. That more or less summed it up for me when I asked one time.

When I get really hammered, play beer pong and make a big game winning shot... I will Warrior dance all over the room. However, only once has someone figured out what I was doing.
And uh... Raven's arm pose... and strutting... and well most of my celebrations for beer pong winning comes from Pro Wrestling.

What if WM was bomb threatened , would Vince still go ahead with it or would he bite the bullett and cancel WM despite a huge loss ? I'd say a fair amount of large events like that, concerts and sporting events have regular bomb threats. I think they need a credible threat to go that far.

I just got a funny image of Vince pulling a giant lever with the WWE logo on it. Vince McMahon would probably shut it down like Cartman at his own birthday party. "Matt Hardy? Party's over!" Matt Hardy wins the World Championship all of a sudden... "Winner and NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION..." *No Chance in Hell* Vince: Effective immediately, WWE is no more. Sorry Matt, but seriously, it's kind of funny.

It's like early punk music... it wasn't glitzy, it wasn't all that great, but there was something about that attracted a portion of the world to it that wasn't just about music. ECW wasn't just about wrestling... there was an intangible variable about ECW that unless you followed it or experienced it while it was happening, you'll never be able to truly grasp what it really meant.

Yeah I've noticed the negative trend on ECW.. I think it's a backlash of the "smark"

Being a guy who grew up with ECW... I don't care at all seeing guys who may be over the hill, but I have a nostalgic attachment to.
Plus, Raven/Dreamer needs another chapter.

I keep seeing "Abyss is a monster", but he omes off as a nieve moron at this point. He went from Evad Sullivan 2.0 to "I'm a monster, and yet I have to do what they tell me, they tell me what to do". He's back to being in the same boat he was in with Mitchell leading him around, except now we don't get Sinister Minister promos to go with it. Idea. Sinister Minister is the one behind the ECW stable. That would give us awesome promos again.

My favorite story is one I always forget who was involved...
In a hot feud in Texas or Memphis, a stipulation was someone had to put up their boat if they lost. They lost the match and the boat was "awarded" to the winner. Something happened between the two in real life, with the match's loser screwing over the winner... and then the winner choosing to sue the loser for the possession of the boat.
Because had to protect kayfabe and when asked by the judge if pro wrestling was unscripted and it was a legit stipulation, he said yes.
These are the kind of things were I somewhat lose respect for Vinny Mac. People like this, Shcultz and countless others went to the end to protect the secret even when everyone knew, but there was still always a "well, it could be real at times" feel. As soon as Vince gets anywhere near in trouble with the law, he comes clean to avoid getting in trouble with Johny Law.
