Why didn't they send to Rampage to OVW? Or is that what they are doing? Lord I hope so.

Wait. Was a conflict in wrestling resolved with logical discussion and chalked up to a simple misunderstanding? WHAT DEVILRY IS THIS?! |

Smiths: gunnyhighway : TNA has tried to bring in former WWE guys to get a legit money maker and it hasn't worked. Home grown guys haven't been able to bring eyeballs and money. Do you think we will see the end of WWE cast offs landing in TNA and do you think they will ever have someone who can draw real big money?
i think the days of "JOHN HORRISON IS IN THE IMPACT ZONE" are not happening. we used to think someone being let go from WWE meant instant TNA contract. i just don't feel it anymore at all. I don't think it helps the talent or TNA. EV2.0 was the final straw in my mind.

Smiths: gunnyhighway : Anderson is the worst biker ever.
i never bought him joining the "gang" like ever. but wouldn't surprise me if he was first to turn on them since he was never "in" it from their start. he just being a dick for himself and saw they had the influence... etc...
i don't doubt TNA's ability anymore to be the wrestling company that starts something in April and doesn't finish it until November without even really mentioning it or ramming it down your throat every week in the interim.
WWE can't even hold a fucking tease for two weeks without panicking.
i'm surprised they have kept CM Punk off TV for so long... and the fact CM Punk hasn't even mentioned the PPV this weekend is fucking hilarious. CM Punk wants his big Wrestlemania pay day, and then retirement.

Steen seems like an awesome guy.

Alright, spoilers didn't cover it, so I'm predicting DOC either doesn't get the job done, or he goes, "Whoops, I didn't see AJ coming from that top rope, I swear, Bully!"

Two weeks? Shit, they have been blowing surprises moments before they happen just to increase their social media score. Remember the Flair appearance when they played his music before the commercial and then teased a big guest was coming? They did that shit on purpose.

i feel retarded.. EV2.0? TNA was doing decent shit and then all of a sudden there was an ECW invasion story. Dreamer, Raven and Richards are the only people I can remember right now. Dreamer did cut an awesome promo but the rest of it sucked.

I fucking love AJ's No One shirt. It's so subtle, but says everything about his character. And his new move set is a wonderful bit of development as well. He isn't big, flashy, or phenomenal. He's darker, slower, more methodical.

I'm gonna ask Steen if he's been to Henry Doorly. He's a huge zoo fan. They talk about his love of zoos on this episode. Pretty sure he revealed it the first time on AOW50. Him describing learning English from JR and using JR saying in real life cracked me up.

Don't love the end. Wish AJ would have scored a clean pin but not terrible. Great match though. Here is hoping Rampage doesn't end up like Pacman.

I was working. A buck is hard to come by these days.
Recap. EY vs A Double = gold. ODB. What can I say. I'd let her take a strap-on to Hobble and finish Me with it. : 3 \
The ANDERSON v Festus for all was pretty damned funny
Rampage on the original NES is better than Rampage'T the wrasslor.
Angle can suck an ankle...

AJ Styles shows off his action moves w/kurdt ankles
12 rounds X 2 with Ortin has nothing on AJ in the match with Kurtis Ankle.
This IS awesome indeed.
Makes me wanna bust open the cellophane on the Jerk Angle DVD I have.
Almost.
AJ could be 12 rounds of blood sport.

Another good show. Not blow-away (not Buddy Rose's diet), but some good wrestling and angle (not Kurt) progression.
They seem to be doing a nice job with live-taped-live-taped. Outside of what I shat on last week.
This week's Fun Facts: I realized during EY w/ ODB vs AA that ODB and AA were once in Mid American Wrestling when I was there. Kenny was our champ for a while. Never really got a chance to drink with them since they were usually on the road going from the Twin Cities to Milwaukee to Chicago to Louisville to wherever. Same thing with Punk and Cabana. And Pearce. And Bradley. I love seeing these fuckers on TV. I would doubt that they'd remember me but it's fun to see them and goddamn if I didn't work with them in that old Knights of Columbus hall... and don't use those chairs, otherwise Dale will try to fuck us over on damaged chairs. FUCK. Do I have to tell that story?
