For the first time in WAY too long, Impact starts off WITH A MATCH! STREET FIGHT: AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels vs. Bully Ray & Tommy Dreamer- 5/10 Too short SCORPION SITDOWN- MORONIC! Anderson didn’t check that Disco would cooperate with him before SPENDING THE MONEY TO FLY HIM ACROSS THE COUNTRY? ...

Bad? Yes. But that was at a house show, and didn't expose the business in the same way that saying things like heel and babyface and talking about turning from one to the other does.

the montreal screwjob This is an interesting one. The Screwjob now IS kayfabe. It wasn't breaking kayfabe when it happened because that is what happened. There was a dirty finish. Vince wanted the belt off of Bret, so he had Hebner screw him. All of these are kayfabe facts, and were kayfabe facts ...

Let me also say this: TNA focuses more on their characters being REAL, people; not strictly heels or faces. It makes it a lot more realistic in my book. They're more like real ppl with each having their own faults and benefits. Anderson is the perfect example; he'll jump ANYBODY, but he doesn't ...

I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet: The Nash & Goldberg promos.

any time in general someone says segment or promo I disagree. These are words that have meanings that make sense in a kayfabe setting as well. A TV show is still a TV show. Wrestling has runsheets (even Jim Cornette will use that word on the air), which tell you how much time each segment is ...

Bumped for major update. eBay is a swell place. Also, if you would like to own a copy of Better Than Our Best or Salvation, PM me.

DUNN & MARCOS! Bryan Danielson (either as a babyface or a jackass heel) Alex Riley in FCW (especially with Beverly Mullins... that stuff was GOLD!) Heel Alex Shelley McMahon-Helmsley Regime Steph Heel CM Punk JIMMY JACOBS! The Rock "Addicted To Love" Rhett Titus The Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew

But who saw that turn coming? However I never did understand the booking decision however... why would Steve Austin turn and represent the two companies that he openly disliked?? Who knows. The reasoning was that Austin hated Bischoff, Hogan, etc. not Shane, and he hated Vince. Also, from a non ...

You have to admit that Miz is pretty over if Riley can get chants from beating him up. I agree. That's why I said it (although I think that they ended Miz' title reign in entirely the wrong way). That's when it becomes the point. Knowing McMahon he'll see it as "Holy sh*t the fans want more Riley ...

well if hes on SD hell still be ridin high from that heat so he shouldnt do bad But he has to keep it. Which means if he's babyface... he needs to do some big babyface things, or they'll lose that momentum... that is of course if he has any... let's face it... until he opens his mouth, the fans won ...

I'm surprised you didn't mention Cole's catharsis.... Wasn't really sure what to say about it. IMO, both Cole and WWE got too caught up in the success. Cole was at his best as a heel until they started building for Mania. When he was still a babyface except only in certain instances (like when he ...

Not going to a lie: a lot of this is true, but that is because they are looking a WAY too big a picture. I don't know if ROH has ever PRODUCED 10,000 copies of a single DVD. ROH's expansionism has been slightly dangerous recently (see: Montreal, Buffalo, Nashville), but they have also cut down other ...

I've been saying this for years. Dixie Carter is both an idiot and a liar. I doubt she even watches Impact.

Pouring BBQ Sauce all over Michael Cole is completely in JR's character IMO. This is the same man who was more than willing to have Vince McMahon join JR's Kiss My a** Club. Michael Cole's been the thorn in JR's side for years, and JR's never been able to get a 1-up on him (excluding JR is RAW, at ...

OPENING SEGMENT- THIS is the Ron Killings I’ve been waiting for! He is like Jericho from 2009, but with EMOTION! I was really digging the main event until they announced that Bret would be the Special Guest Referee. WWE TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Kane & Big Show(c) vs. Otunga & McGillicutty- 4/10. ...

ROH At Our Best (3/13/2004)- Elizabeth, NJ SAMOA JOE’S RING- Great segment that set up the intended belt vs. belt feud. I think that losing AJ was a blessing in disguise because I think it was WAY too early to do the belt vs. belt feud. Waiting a few years until Dragon vs. Nigel was definitely b ...
