it's just to remind you who is still with the company...but you go to see AJ, that should be good enough for you
Not if she doesn't get to wrestle!

Re: MITB 2011

Who else is on the "outs" with the company right now? Vince McMahon. Dethroned from his empire. I can see exactly what you're saying going down, backed up by Vince himself. He's already blamed Cena (his former 'Golden Boy') for all this and is bound to resent Hunter. Vince was "relie...

Re: 2 cents: inVasion

In my opinion, The inVasion angle is the biggest disappointment WWE has ever produced. More disappointing than Vader's run. More disappointing than the current state of the Divas. More disappointing than The Gobledygooker. I've blogged on this numerous times. Long story short, no, WWE did not have ...

Re: Sting's New Gimmick!!! Yay or Nay???

Because legendary careers are made by legendary matches. Taker puts those on. Even if it is only one match a year, it always winds up being amazing. As I have said before, I would rather see one amazing match than 50 mediocre ones. When was the last time any of Sting's matches caused major buzz by ...

Re: Sting's New Gimmick!!! Yay or Nay???

I think it is safe to say at this point that most people aren't watching TNA for Sting. Wrestling fans are a funny bunch. Even if it is bad, we will still watch it (especially if it is free). Additionally, it is very rare that someone will only watch a promotion (especially a free, televised one) f...

Re: Sting's New Gimmick!!! Yay or Nay???

If you are the champion of a company (especially one that claims to be all about wrestling), you damned well better be out there having great matches. Whether or not Sting is at the level he was 20 years ago is irrelevant. Whether he is in "good condition for a 52 year old" is irrelevant....

Re: Sting's New Gimmick!!! Yay or Nay???

100% irrelevant. We all know that Sting can veto any gimmick he wants to. Doubt he has power to NOT compete if he doesn't like his gimmick. If Booker T had to play that stupid African King gimmick or whatever, back in the MEM, I'm sure Sting has to play the Joker. The African King thing was Booker ...

Re: I believe the PG Era is dead. Here's why...

Also, is it safe to say that the kids who were tuning in at the height of the PG era have grown up, so they're switching it to more of an adult product? That's been used as an excuse for the transition from the Federation Years to the Attitude Era in the 90s. I think that Donna Goldsmith (one of th...

That's once you get past the fact that the Green Bay crowd absolutely f***ing no-sold that entire show.
Yeah. WWE needs to wait a while before going back there for a televised event.

BRM Reviews the 7/18/2011 Raw

OPENING SEGMENT- Good. Right down to business. WWE TITLE TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND MATCH: The Miz vs. Alex Riley- 5.25/10 Nice to see a hype package for a guy returning from injury. You don’t see those too often anymore. WWE TITLE TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND MATCH: R-Truth vs. Jack Swagger- 4.25/10 WAY too ...

While I agree with your post, I don't think that this genius plan is either an excuse or a good reason for some of the terrible booking we have seen from WWE. There is no excuse for not following up on major things or randomly nixing good angles for no reason: The McIntyre-Kelly Kelly angle was drop...

Re: Sting's New Gimmick!!! Yay or Nay???

Sting doesn't wrestle every week. And when Taker wrestles... it is always GOOD. With Sting... rarely. I would rather see Sting in one great match a year than in the 50 mediocre or bad matches he puts on. Just because the Honkytonk Man or the Iron Sheik or whoever wrestles on indy shows every week d...

I agree about Taker & HHH match at Mania. Esp since both guys are supposedly so involved in developing new talent now, you'd think they would have pushed to put the two legends against two up and comers at mania; foster the guys who're gonna be there. Instead, they had a Hogan-esque moment of e...

Re: Sting's New Gimmick!!! Yay or Nay???

And you're STILL watching TNA then, right? So, Sting being champion is working. Obviously. Because the people that do NOT like the situation, could make a bigger difference if they tune out during his matches. If they see say 500,000 people tune off during his title segments, then MAYBE they'd put ...

What is so wrong with having a one-person ladder match featuring only an aborted Dustin Rhodes gimmick?

BUT, I can't agree for Sting. People simply look at his age. They say ah he's 52 he needs to retire he can't go like he USED to... Sting was (rip me a new 1 for this, I don't care) the BEST American wrestler ever in his prime (late 80's to late 90's)... OF COURSE he won't be able to jump from 1 rin...
