Roode and Brooks both are people who just need to be pulled off TV right now for like a month, and then be brought back repackaged so they have a shot at mattering again, because their current gimmicks are not working, and they're too talented to be doing jobs to the comedy mascot of TNA. I think Young is talented and the character is great, but you don't position someone like Roode who was supposed to be a big deal to not only work with him, but do jobs to/ be outsmarted by him.

I think TNA hasn't the slightest idea what to do with some of these guys. That would explan why a group led by Raven is doing less than nothing.

Well, I'm sorry to say that the Poparazzi Championship series couldn't top itself over last week's (was it last week?) push-up competition, But still, the pogo stick competition had some great moments:

Lethal: Oh, Mr. Chlamydia is up next!
Sonjay: *CLAP* *CLAP *CLAP*
Shelley: WOULDN'T IT BE SOMETHING IS SOMEONE WITH CHLAMYDIA WON THIS IS EVENT?

A decent TNA over-all.

Can I join your Club? Even though I have have been a fan for 4 years, I know alot of information about the WWE, TNA etc.

Sure you can join, but you'll have to post again before its official. We've gotten may a user who says they want to join, only to disappear and never post again.

I have some TNA news to report.

- TNA's Lockdown PPV will likely be the next one to run on the road, with Chicago and St. Louis being the favorites. Everyone in TNA viewed Bound for Glory in Detroit as a tremendous success, so the plan is to run more PPVs in other cities in 2007.

- Samoa Joe will be out until the Final Resolution PPV due to the MCL ligament sprain he suffered on Impact this week. He will continue to appear for TNA and ROH until then.

- TNA continues to claim that they have one million dollars set aside for use in the VKM One Million Dollar Challenge.

- TNA wants to run a AJ Pierzynski & Dale Torborg vs. David Eckstein & Lance Hoyt match at a show next year, preferably one in St. Louis. The match could end up taking place at Lockdown, which as reported above, could end up in Chicago or St. Louis.

I'd like to ask you guys a question, Which city will TNA Lockdown 2007 take place in? Chicago? or St. Louis?

Thank you very much. Trust me I'll post here alot.

IIIIIIIIIIIII'M

THE BOOGEYMAN!

AND I'M

Just kidding. Anyone miss me? :P

I'm quitting my segment due to unnecessary bullshit. There's plenty of better reviews. Now, I've seen quite a bit happen: ASHLEY ON PLAYBOY (which I'd seen on a post a while back; I'd deleted all previous Ashley pics off my comp for various reasons that have absolutely NOTHING to do with Ashley herself, and mean no disrespect to her), Lashley supposedly win ECW's belt off of Show, and the Miz losing some of his 'reality star' touch to Boogeyman's sheer grossness. And of course, Mike Cole being constantly chewed out by JBL (moreso last week, for something that sounded like it was made worse by JBL in the first place); that poor bastard needs Taz back.......which he even said one night.

TONIGHT'S THE X-MAS IN IRAQ TRADITION! Always good to hear. Figured I'd drop by before it came on; I took time off from the site since the site's too big for my comp - which I figured out after I tried to download a game onto a GBA emulator & it wouldn't take because it was too big. Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, I got fed up for a while.

Oh, and I noticed that you're allowed more characters in your posts now - quite a few more.

Welcome back man.... Although, you should know that the Iraq special is on Monday not tonight... We just get a regular SD episode tonight.

well since you posted again, lets make this offical huh?

DR1NK , you are # 227. Welcome to the club!!!!!

Been a good while since we had an offical new member. So just for the hell of it here is the site where the list is just in case anyone wants to have a look. Also I think all of Avie's previous ECW bio's are on this site.

They'd be stupid not to, the company should do more limited touring into other markets as there are definitely fans out there that will go, the Florida shows aren't making them money because people can get tickets to TNA as part of the Universal Studios tour. Having some shows where the building isn't papered by default will be a great way for the company to begin to become profitable and expand, now they just need to really address the issues with their product...

- Samoa Joe will be out until the Final Resolution PPV due to the MCL ligament sprain he suffered on Impact this week. He will continue to appear for TNA and ROH until then.

Samoa Joe is a fucking warrior, he's also dealing with continuing problems with his sciatic nerve as well. The man just goes balls out every time, and you gotta respect that, but you also have to wonder how long he'll be able to do that before it retires him.

- TNA continues to claim that they have one million dollars set aside for use in the VKM One Million Dollar Challenge.

I keep hearing the same thing, it's already been written off from the budget, when WWE dosen't accept, TNA should just give the money to charity and try and use that to prove their better then WWE.

- TNA wants to run a AJ Pierzynski & Dale Torborg vs. David Eckstein & Lance Hoyt match at a show next year, preferably one in St. Louis. The match could end up taking place at Lockdown, which as reported above, could end up in Chicago or St. Louis.

I would NOT put these guys in a cage, they also have to be careful about these guys getting hurt because of their baseball contracts. Not to mention cages invite too much blood and violence, I say have Eckstein and Pierzynski train and learn how to be serviceable, but use Torborg and Hoyt as the mules of the match, and make it a regular match without real risk of injury or chance of building up unreal expectations in some people.

I'd like to ask you guys a question, Which city will TNA Lockdown 2007 take place in? Chicago? or St. Louis?

It depends on what they book, and where makes the most sense with the show they've got. Chicago could probably draw them a bigger gate then St. Louis though I think because Chicago is bigger, right?

This is easy... CHICAGO!!!! Samoa Joe, Homicide, Shelley, Aries (Starr), Low-Ki among others are all wrestlers who are already over in Chicago because of their ROH matches.

It would be pretty easy to sell-out a TNA PPV in Chicago. They could probably charge a high price for tickets and people in The Windy City would still buy them.

Chicago all the way... It just makes sense.

I have some breaking news to tell you guys.

The USA Network is not airing WWE RAW on Monday, February 12th, 2007 due to a dog show. Raw will air on the USA Network that Thursday, February 15th, from 8 to 10:05 PM, which means that the second hour is airing head-to-head with TNA Impact.

The Sci-Fi Channel currently has a Star Trek: Enterprise marathon planned for February 12th from 7 to 11 PM, so it appears that Raw airing live on Sci-Fi that week won't be happening this time around.

Which show will win the ratings war on February 15th, 2007? WWE RAW? or TNA iMPACT?

I said this elsewhere and I'll say it again. I'm watching TNA, unless the WWE announces something big for the second hour, which probably won't happen.

I'll be watching TNA.... Warrior Style.

Stupid dog show... Oh well I'll most likely forget about it and wonder where Raw went on that day. :P I sure wish the USA network would cut that crap out.

Well guys i really dont know what to do then WWE and TNa have been having pretty crap shows soit look's like I may be flipping back and forth to see which one sucks more...

Here is the full story on Amy Zidan's departure from WWE.

- Amy Zidan, who briefly played Jimmy Wang Yang's girlfriend, rubbed a lot of people the wrong way backstage. First she made some disparaging comments to Layla El, asking her if she was upset about her getting a push while Layla, who won the Diva Search that Zidan was eliminated from, was 'collecting dust'. She also made fun of Kristal Marshall's hair extensions, upsetting her. The worst offense was when she sarcastically asked Vickie Guerrero why she was a Diva, insinuating that she was overweight and not good-looking. Vickie responded by saying that since she wasn't pretty enough she had better get out of 'your' locker room. Zidan genuinely didn't know who Vickie was or why she was involved with Smackdown, yet by upsetting her the entire locker room more or less turned on her. She was about to get fired until John Laurinaitis stood up for her and saved her job. However, when Stephanie McMahon gave Zidan some pointers for an interview segment they were making, Zidan responded with a bad attitude, asking who she was to give her advice. Stephanie told her who she was and that her family owned WWE and Zidan rolled her eyes, not believing it. John Laurinaitis, who brought Zidan to TV and wanted to use her even when other creative members didn't, couldn't possibly save her after that one.

I dunno, I respect Eddie G., But I still have to agree with Amy here...

Because Vince loves him, and that's all you really need.

The Dog Show pre-empts RAW simply because USA gets a better ad rate for the dog show then they do for RAW. They'll take the ratings hit for the increased ad revenue. I don't really blame them on this one.

I still see RAW beating TNA in the ratings, I tend to agree with people like Dave Scherer who believe RAW has pretty much boiled down in the ratings to it's core and die-hard audience, so while I expect the ratings to take a bit of a hit, I'd still be shocked to see them dip below a 3, and that will definitely take away from Impact which has climbed into the mid 1's in recent weeks. I think Spike and TNA should look at that night as being if they do a 1 or slightly less, they should be very very pleased.

Ok so i want to clear this up.....

Do you guys really think this stuff is real or are you aware that it is acting.

There i asked it.

:Sorry if it's been asked already the thread is like 2000 friggin pages and I dont have that kind of time.

OMG WRESTLING IS FAKE?!?!?!

Yeah we know ok? Doesn't mean we can't enjoy it anyway right?

Well if both TNA and Raw are on at the same time I think I'll flip back and forth depending on what is happening on either. If Raw has a boring segment I'll switch over to TNA.

I hate stupid people, so what?

I'm not really pointing out the obvious. Take a look at pepeatumi's sig. I didn't know how gullible you guys were after seeing that. Anyway, I wrestle wrestle, like the other guys that run around in tights. So, I've always been touchy on people who think that smashing people with chairs is real. That's all.

The reason it says that in my sig is because the man there (Kurt Angle) uses it as a phrase. Funny thing is, Angle atually won a gold medal in the 96 olympics in.... freestyle wrestling.

Let me tell you, while things in Pro Wrestling may be staged, the pain is far from fake. Those athletes are aching day and day out because of what they do. People like Edge, Steve Austin and Chris benoit have broken their necks in this "fake wrestling" HHH tore his quad aswell in this "fake wrestling". I understand where you're coming from, but to not give these athletes their due is stupid plain and simple.
