Just Look At Me is a hilarious entrance theme because it basically comes across as "You shouldn't care about this guy." As much of an ironic smark favorite as he is around here, he wouldn't have gotten far with the exact same gimmick and music. Has he been inducted yet? I will never understand why they had a bright idea to push a guy by dressing him like Mr. Slave and giving him Randy Newman knockoff music as an entrance. Just f***ing terrible. |

Would he be a big star in ECW or at least a decent midcard who isn't getting the Conway pop? I seriously think he would of been a ECW upper midcarder since his Conway gimmick has a lot more personality then some guys on ECW these days and it's one of the best theme musics ever! PLUS HE WRESTLED WITH SUNGLASSES! Remember when Rene Dupree was on ECW? About the same level of success. Which is to say, none. |

I never found him funny after his debut. It got old pretty fast. This. It would have been okay as a one time thing, but it wasn't. He became a full time character for awhile and it just wasn't funny after the first time. As well as the other reasons mentioned, like devaluing the Light Heavyweight belt, beating guys who weren't joke characters and actually had a future, etc. Plus if he was so over, why did he vanish taking the title with him? Over wrestlers dont suddenly disappear for no reason. |

I myself have become an even bigger fan of Groundskeeper Billy Billy was Over in the outlaws, in the smoking gunns, billy and Chuck, even as the one. The guy was over with the fans up until his release. He and Hardcore were both over. I liked their tag team, and hope TNA brings in bob to tag with Billy. Just because he wasn't a main eventer doesn't mean he wasn't over. This. I always thought Mr. Ass was a pretty good midcarder. The only time I didn't like him was when he won KOTR and WWE tried to push him into the main event, that was just ill advised. |

Hey, at least David Flair has a memorable TitanTron and Brooke has her own TV show. What does Lacey have? A spot on a professional wrestling roster? Eric Bischoff: For about another...oh, THREE MINUTES! Sometimes TNA just does things to shoot themselves in the foot. This is one of them. They have plenty of hot chicks who can wrestle on the roster they could easily turn to throw in the BP. Instead they hire some alcoholic bimbo who sucks at wrestling. LOGIC! |

He refused to put over one guy, if that makes him a prima donna then every single wrestler in the business is. As far as not being popular, that just isn't true. He has gotten into fights backstage, pulled power plays to get his wife a job on TV with him, get himself in creative meetings, claimed to be setup by WWE on his final suspension and, refused to job. If that is not primadonna attitude, I do not know what is. As far as not being popular, I don't think he is near Hardy's level (whom I was comparing him too). If he was, WCW would have been better off when he was champ and, TNA would have seen an upswing with him. Fights backstage: With who? Batista? That was way before Book left WWE and apparently nobody cared much and some even said that Batista deserved it. Power plays: It wasn't his final say to put her on TV, it was Vinces and creative. If they refused to do it what would Booker threaten them with? Quitting? Vince has final say in everything, this isn't WCW where a wrestler can pull creative control. Plus their onscreen pairing worked pretty well. Setup by WWE: Not much different from the Mysterio situation, or Kurt Angles ever changing stories on why he left. Mysterio is still on TV and WWE would sign Kurt back in a second. Creative meetings: Oh yeah? Like Triple H? Maybe HHH should be fired too for using his political power. Popularity: That is like saying Kurt Angle isn't popular since TNA is far behind WWE with him as the most featured wrestler the majority of the time. I never said Book was as popular as Hardy or as much of a draw, just that he could easily be used in a role within the company as a midcard guy or top guy on ECW. |

Hardy is popular and makes money, Booker is not and cannot do either. Plus, again, Hardy hasn't been a primadonna bitch backstage. He refused to put over one guy, if that makes him a prima donna then every single wrestler in the business is. As far as not being popular, that just isn't true. |

I would rather see Horny/Orton than Orton/Cena. I think I'll pass on Horny Orton. He'd probably gouge out an eye or make a german suplex verrrrrry awkward for the both of them. I kinda thought that was his new gimmick, judging on this Cena feud. At any moment during their matches it looks like he has a strong desire to embrace him in a passionate lip lock. |

I really liked him, but he has had a great career and he wouldn't really fit anywhere in todays current scene.

Maybe if he hadnt already broken character a bunch of times between 99 and 2004.
What would he do, stand at the podium and not talk for five minutes?

Of all the moves they could put in the game, I just hope the Amazing Impact makes a return. We haven't seen it since DoR2.  PLEASE GIVE ME BACK THE WHIRLING DERVISH!!! |

Anyone notice Cena's thumb appeared to be bleeding at the end of the match though? One wonders how he managed that one... edge of the steel stairs, maybe?  I would mark if on the DVD release, either Cena has his thumb blurred out or the whole match goes into black and white mode suddenly to cover it up. |

Its way too early, if Morrison gets a DVD where is the Christian DVD? Or STING DVD? Sorry but so many people more deserving of a DVD. Sting will not get a DVD while he is still a top TNA guy. Christian, I agree there but he will get one eventually. Probably once he moves on to be a main event player on the main roster. Saying one guy doesn't deserve a DVD just because another deserving guy hasn't gotten one yet isn't really a relevant argument if you ask me. |

He is a former WHC. If there is room for a guy like Goldust in WWE, why not Booker T, multiple World Champion? But goldust is a low- to mid carder on a show where midcarders and developmental talents are showcased. Would Booker T fit in ECW? If he goes back where will he be? Don't see him in the main event level He could easily be inserted into the main event scene on ECW. He never struck me as a guy who had a problem with being on the midcard or working with the younger talent. Plus, it is only a matter of time before Christian gets called up to one of the main rosters. Booker would be a good fit to be his replacement. |

Dude, the captions under the pictures sound like they were written for a 5 year old. *picture of Warrior standing in the ring* "Ultimate Warrior often wore trunks while wrestling." LOAD DA WEBSITE WITH DA ROCKET FUEL |

Despite the lack of logic behind it, I enjoyed the feud. It was actually somewhat interesting and involved two guys who are promo masters, so they sold it very well.
Its just that I always thought JBL sucked in the ring outside of a hardcore brawling environment. In regular matches the guy puts me to sleep.
For the promos and moments it brought I was entertained by it though.

Its still pretty early in the guys career. One shouldn't expect monster reactions yet.
Morrison wasn't getting much of a reaction when his push started either.

With all due respect, what would be the point of that?
If anything, I think it would be more respectful to their memory to keep the place open because I guarantee the majority of topics for the next few days would be filled with memories, vids, interviews etc. related to them.
