  1. TNA to reveal The Network's identity at Impact Tapings?

    I don't remember enjoying any of his matches. The gimmick was okay and I guess he was reasonably mobile for a guy of that size but the main thing I remember about him was that he looked like he was concealing hundreds of crab apples in his tights. A failed big man experiment by Vince. I file...
  2. Yo!

    WTF?! You make Eddie sound like Alex 'Nobody's favourite wrestler' Wright for God's sake. If that's what you're rating the guy on then you clearly haven't got a clue about wrestling. Or English for that matter. I agree with MattHardyv1 there seems to be a bit of conservative low balling to...
  3. Kurt Angle Leaves UK Tour

    I can see AJ going that extra mile to make this one work though. It's the make or break first match of this type so they'll want a couple of highlight reel moments. If it isn't played right first time Elevation X has the potential top be rubbish and TNA can't risk that.
  4. Sonic Generations (Rumored Title) Debut Trailer

    7.5/10?! For bad hair?! Boooo! Anyhoo, incredible worker in his prime and still an impressive one in his latter years. Could talk up a storm and delivered some ****+ match ups. Getting a back injury quite early on in his WWF career kind of took the wind out of his sails and put an end to...
  5. WrestleMania 27: Edge VS Del Rio

    Probably about the same thing that's up with every other Goldberg to TNA rumour, which is absolutely nothing. He's not interested in wrestling unless he's being paid more money than he's worth.
  6. Drake to receive Songwriter’s Hall of Fame Hal David Starlight Award

    I was watching his Here Comes the Pain DVD again yesterday and it's such a shame to see what the WWE lost when he had a hissy fit. The two years they had him for were incredible and he had so many great matches against people who sacrificed a lot to put him over. My gripes about his attitude...
  7. Woman Sues McDonald's Over Broken Toilet Seat

    The best wrestler currently employed by WWE and also one of the best of all time. Hasn't got any mic skills but frankly, with his intensity he doesn't need them. His run on top was a damp squib but like AJ Styles in TNA, he's the workhorse that has kept the WWE in great matches since the turn of...
  8. TNA To Return To MCU Park

    That is a redundant argument. They are totally at the opposite ends of the wrestling spectrum and (aside from the RTR scores) shouldn't be directly compared. They both do things that the other can't. Personally I've enjoyed more Rey matches than 'taker ones but to directly compare them is...
  9. Batista's MMA Debut Scheduled For May

    At his WCW peak he could easily deliver ****+ match ups but he had a slippery slide and most people will judge him on his underwhelming final years with WWE. I saw him recently in an RQW match and it's clear that he has really upped his game. TNA would actually benefit from him now whereas a few...
  10. UFC 128: Shogun VS Jones

    He's a talented worker who sadly only got over alongside Eddie. Though in really bad taste he did make the most of the Kerwin White gimmick and has gritted his teeth through all the Eddie's memory stuff, which must have been hard. I don't blame him for getting involved in all that stuff as it...
  11. *SPOILER* Two New Immortal Members?

    He's a talented athletic guy with a somewhat predictable in ring repertoire who has managed to remain over with the fans regardless of what TNA do (or rather don't do) with him. The Booker T comparisons seem mostly limited to them both being black and doing a scissor kick, they are very...
  12. Mom upset after school sends son to psych ward

    Raw can be incredible but it is (or at least was) far too much like The Triple H Show for it's own good sometimes. They used to have to have all of the star power too but it looks like things have evened out between Raw and Smackdown on that score. On current showings I'll go with 8.5/10
  13. UFC 129 Sells Out/ Destroys Attendance Record

    I agree with Soulpower, there seem to be a lot of high marks for JJ (and a classically moronic low ball figure from King Ash, whose beef with TNA has clearly stripped him of all logic) but I guess he's more popular than I thought. In my opinion he's an above average worker who, mostly down to...
  14. Nash on Why he Chose WWE Over TNA

    Used to be the lame duck WWE brand but has upped it's game substantially and is frequently the most watchable show that WWE produces. Also, after many lame PPV's they finally really cracked it with Armageddon. 9/10
  15. Rey working hurt & handpicks Cody to feud with

    Solid wrestler and believable powerhouse with one of the best spears in the business who is really over with the TNA fans. Not much in the way of promos (he's a classic bog standard angry shouter) but has shown enough charisma to show he was wasted in WWE. Has had some great matches and will do...
  16. Predict/Dream Book the Wrestlemania Card

    Yeah, once with AJ Styles.
  17. TWC ATH Wrestling sign ups #1

    Didn't he just brawl, fall off stuff and stab people in the head? I've seen the Mass Transit and Gypsy Joe 'incidents' and based on those I pity anyone who has to go up against anyone he has trained.
  18. WWE re-branding Gorgeous George

    I agree, I certainly think that the guy who originally played him (Matt Borne)could have pulled it off but they turned Doink face he quit and the gimmick became a bad joke for some other, less talented guy to carry. Potential doesn't amount to anything really, especially if you consider that TNA...
  19. FRiCTION #3 @ New Alhambra Arena, Philadelphia, PA

    Raven leading Seratonin, whilst it's a weak faction right now, is the right thing for a guy of his age and condition to be doing. That or commentary, which frankly he would rule at.
  20. WWE re-branding Gorgeous George

    I was with you all the way until you mentioned those guys. It explains why you only gave TNA 1/10 though. It's clearly about 'sports entertainment' for you rather than wrestling. Different strokes I guess.
