Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

She'll probably get pushed to the moon because WWE like her fake tan, fake boob look. In the ring though she makes Torrie Wilson look like Ricky Steamboat and on the mic she makes Jumping Jeff Farmer look like Steve Austin.

She does have nice cheekbones though.

She hasn't been in ring televised in about two years. For reference, two years ago Sasha Banks was so incredibly boring that I'd completely forgot she even was around. Charlotte Flair had never stepped foot in a ring. Roman Reigns was an absolute nobody who was at best Baron Corbin level, and realistically was nowhere near that. Sasha and Roman have been in 3 of the WWE's top 5 matches this year. Alexa Bliss, Dana Brooke, Carmella, and numerous NXT folk on the verge of TV pushes (most notably the incredible Chad Gable) had never stepped foot in a ring. Finn Bálor was dull as feck in a tag team with Ryosuke Taguchi ffs. Two years is a very very long time.

Her promo on NXT also wasn't bad at all. But hey, #GiveDivasAChanceUnlessTheyreModelsBecauseTheyCanNeverBeRealWrestlers I guess.

Lucha underground is so crazy its awesome. (I mean the non wrestling stuff). Its so different and im glad it doesnt try to be WWE lite like TNA have done for so many years.
 
Does anybody watch TNA? what happened to Mickie James? i have seen something about controversy and a very dodgy storyline but haven't managed to figure out what it is yet.

The storyline looks like James Storm chucked her on some train tracks, and tells Magnus "she isn't coming home".

EDIT: Feck if I'm watching TNA, just happened to be reading about it earlier.
 
  • TNA debuted its version of the Money in the Bank Match: "Feast or Fired". Half of TNA's roster fought for possession of four briefcases strapped onto poles situated at four corners of the ring. Some time after the match, the wrestlers who managed to snag a briefcase opened them to find out if they'd won a "feast" (three of the briefcases contained title shots) or ended up "fired" (one briefcase contained a pink slip).
  • This would also kick off the incredibly unfunny running gag of Christopher Daniels somehow getting the "fired" briefcase regardless of what gimmick he was using. Originally, he didn't get a briefcase, but his Triple-X running mate Low Ki did. Ki left the company shortly after the PPV where the match took place, so instead of just having him be the first victim of the "fired" briefcase, Daniels beat him for the briefcase and was fired instead. It made no sense.
:lol:
 
I read the last few years of stuff, since I stopped watching. I should never say anything bad about WWE again(but I probably will....). I also regret comparing TNA to WCW, feck sake, I'll have that viagra on a pole match back, plz! At it's worst WCW was a magnitude better.
 
Also at Victory Road: one segment had Jeremy Borash boast about how "Victory Road" was the #1 trending Twitter topic in the United Kingdom. As pointed out on Botchamania after the event, there's no way to legally watch TNA PPVs live in the UK, so Borash in effect boasted about the PPV being illegally streamed by an entire country.

I can't stop reading, it's the best, worst, best, worst, best thing ever.

If Liverpool were a wrestling promotion.....

I'm sending Dixie a tweet later telling her I can save TNA, all she had to do is hire me as head writer and let me send her the scripts via email.

Normally it wouldn't even be read let alone considered, but as it's ditsy Carter I might just stand a chance.

"What are your qualifications?"
"Well Miss Carter, I once turned a Backyard promotion to a profitable national wrestling organisation on Extreme Warfare Revenge, and I only cheated three times"

First of all I never cheated, where is the fun in that? And secondly I preferred promotion wars.
 
Earthquake said:
Also that EWR, isn't that like the wrestling version of FM?
Click to expand...

Yes. There are paid versions now that are insanely detailed and a lot of fun for a bit. A bit too much effort at times tbh. EWR was probably the most accessible for its simplicity.
 
Something is missing with Ambrose since the Shield split.

He is obviously better as a heel. Dirty deeds is the least intimidating finishing name ever. And what on Earth is a lunatic fringe?

Lots of potential but creative is ruining him for me

I think Tyson Kidd had one?
 
Did Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury just beat the world champion? Creeping fecking Jesus...

Watching a stream. It just revealed that at a Boston house show,
Rollins vs Reigns for the title
which sort of ruins the MITB title match

House shows also had the Intercontinental champion Sheamus advertised.

Card is always subject to change.

that also doesn't tell you who the champion would be, brother.

Reigns to win MitB, Ambrose to win the title. Reigns to cash in the same night. Shield Triple Threat rivalry well and truly underway.

It does, but it would be interesting if the went with
Reigns is the champion after cashing in same night on Ambrose. I realise how unlikely that is though

EDIT: ^Too quick, bastard

Take out the triple threat bit and I think you've got it, maybe a triple threat for Battleground but it doesn't fit in with what is lined up for Summerslam at all.
 
Lesnar, huh? Surely he still is in the title mix.

It feels half baked to me, typical WWE style. Authority drops their Champion just like that! No point ditching Rollins when the other alternative is Ambrose/Reigns/Lesnar. I thought they'd back Rollins for another year and then move to KO which would make a nice storyline on it's own!

Hated that. It's one thing making Rollins look stupid against Ambrose, but making him look stupid against some comedy jobbers? (Nothing against Mercury or Noble, but let's face it, that's what they are now). Have WWE forgotten this is meant to be their champion?

As for MITB, I've seen people guessing that...

Kofi wins. Because of him facing Brock at that Japan show

Paddy Power are taking bets on the winner of MITB and the title match. I put £5 on Reigns, a quid on Kofi (14-1), and then another 5 quid on Rollins for the title match
