I have to say that applies to me too. Same here. I've always enjoyed the WCW/NWA style over the WWE one anyway, and I think TNA has done a good job of playing up that aspect of it in the best possible sense. WCW always felt like a wrestling show being broadcast on TV.. WWE for a long time has felt like a TV Show with wrestling. I'm excited for the things to come.

I noticed it when I watched Monday, that it felt like I was watching a Nitro from years ago. No it was not because of the older wrestlers either, it was just the more adult centric and realistic feel. Everything in WWE is a product on a stage, I recognized realism in TNA and loved it. This sums up my feelings pretty much exactly.

If it was a work.. I don't wanna hear about it lol. It would be the greatest work of all-time if it was in fact was a work. While I'm in the boat that it's a great work that Vince and Bret are the only two on the know... Kaufman/Lawler is much much more of a great worked shoot angle. It took 20 years for the truth to come out on that.

Uhh definetely not. They dropped the ball with the nWo back in 2002. Vince doesn't know how to use the nWo since he didn't create it. And you want them to be faces?! That's completely against what the nWo is about. They are meant to ALWAYS be heels no matter if the crowd cheers them or not. So I'm the only guy that liked nWo Wolfpac? No, I loved nWo Wolfpac.

Well, this news story really angered a friend of mine who has an extremely odd obsession with the Rocky and Rambo movies. Extremely odd.
Awesome.

I think Storm tells the truth. The guy's body hasn't ever changed. He's looked the same since ECW to almost today.

If it was a work, McMahon would have bought the rights to "Wrestling With Shadows" and released it years ago. Why? If it was a work tried to look like a shoot, he'd want to distance himself from anything that said otherwise.

That is a pretty cool moment. I love how Punk's freaking out while Lillian slowly announces the match.
Punk staring at the title in disbelief is awesome.

Occam's Razor - The simplest explanation is more often than not the right one. Everyone points to McMahon screwing Bret legit as the simplest, however... when it comes down to it, it was a pro-wrestling show with pro-wrestlers and a pro-wrestling booker. Why would you not by default think it was a work? Because other pro-wrestlers have said so since?
Seriously go to a friend of yours that does not like pro-wrestling or doesn't watch it. Explain the Screwjob to them.. and tell them that it was all real and legit. They will laugh at you because they are thinking with common sense.
It was two guys who grew up on pro-wrestling and the magic of kayfabe. They knew kayfabe was dieing, they were both smart. These were guys that knew that when fans truly believed, they were better marks for an angle.
It was the last great act of kayfabe. The two guys that came up with it are the only two people that know that for sure.

've always wondered where in South Philly the Arena is. I finally googled the address thanks to that post. I've probably passed the building a good ten times in my visits to Philly.

A. Someone inform Chris Jericho that Kelly Kelly has no other expression besides default idiot smile. B. What's a worse fate, being kicked off Raw, or having only Kelly Kelly to talk to. C. Jericho could probably knock out Tyson at this point. Yes, it would be terrible be stuck having to talk to a female that looks like Kellyx2.

No. I'd rather have Bischoff/Hogan right now.. Monday was fun. Why bring in Heyman after Bischoff/Hogan got you your best ratings of all time?

How is it getting slaughtered if they increased their ratings? Nitro's debut on Monday nights on a much larger network in TNT and with a much more established promotion pulled a 2.5..
They knew they weren't going to win. Hogan was just being Hogan running his mouth.. but everyone in Spike must be thrilled because they've probably figured it out by now that Mondays have a built in audience for pro-wrestling. If Raw did a 3.3 and impact did a 1.5.. that gives a 4.8, a near 5% market for pro-wrestling on Monday nights. So.. Impact's normal audience tuned in, plus some others. If Spike can get TNA into the 2's by the end of the year with a very solid Monday night show... they're not losing by any means.

I hope Spike pulls the trigger on quarterly Monday shows for the year like a Clash of the Champions style thing.
1997 intrigues more people than 2010. Who'd have thunk it.

I want to point out that on Monday someone on here pointed out the logic of Hornswoggle having a beard, Triple H treating him like a little child and how it was demeaning.
I want to believe...

My dvr can record three shows at once its only if you record a forth show does the tv lock a channel. Plus it depends how many of tvs are in use in the house if someone is watching a another tv, i lose a recording space. Woah woah woah... no way. I only get two at a time... You can have four??? Who is your cable company and what type of DVR do you have??

I think the Nasties as someone on here correctly guessed right when Hogan was announced will come in for a one shot hardcore brawl with Team 3D. Have these two teams ever faced each other before? I might take a lot of heat for this, but as long as it doesn't eat up a huge amount of time, I actually want to see 'em go at it in a brawl at the next PPV. I don't think so. By the time the Dudleys were a team, the Nasties were in WCW. Once the Dudleys were done with the WWE, the Nasties were retired until recently. I wouldn't mind it either.. it could be something like ONS's Main Event with Dreamer/Sandman vs Dudleys. Far from a technical masterpiece, but just a bitter, brutal, stiff match..

The nWo is going to stick around with Bischoff as the mastermind with Hulk stuck between his old running mates and way of life versus doing the right thing that he's been talking about for months. Remember the Sting/Luger angle before the nWo came in? They were best friends, but Sting was face and Luger was heel. I think he'll still be rather social with the nWo, but still sticking to his guns about doing things while the nWo attempts to peer pressure him.
Hardy will stick around for awhile unless he screws up (very likely). Flair will be around for awhile as it's a steady paycheck that gives him freedom to do other things most likely.
Val is the only one I don't know about. I think he'd be great in the back because he's the epitome of a successful mid carder. He took a character, got it over, made fans care and 13 years later, they still care. He's got charisma, skills and makes people look good in the ring. A lot of guys in TNA could learn a lot from him.

I do remember when his foot was stuck, that I was really worried he was going to fall and break his neck...
