I just got back from the TNA show in Huntington. It was pretty cool. It was a lot more fan interactive than a WWE show. They really tried to bring the fans into it. The matches were so so. Not a lot of big names were there. AJ, Samoa Joe, Kurt, Steiner, Machine Guns all were absent. ODB, Angelina Love, Abyss, 3D, Booker T, Jeff Jarrett, Beer Money, plus a couple of others were there. Me and my mom had a blast. Compared to WWE the matches werent that good. They were decent, but not great. The ring looks even smaller in real life than it does on TV. The coolest thing was at the end of the night the wrestlers came out to ringside and signed autographs then for $20 you could get your picture taken in the ring with the Dudleys. This brings me to the highlight and lowlight of my night. First let me say the Dudleys are my favorite tag team. So this was an opportunity I wasnt going to miss. So I get in line with my mom and we get in the ring. This is the highlight getting to meet the Dudleys and getting a picture with them. At the same time is the lowlight. Bubba Ray is a douchebag. You hear stories about wrestlers and its been said Bubba is a donkeys behind. Well I get in the ring and I stick out my hand to shake hands with him dude just stares at me doest even stick out his hand. Devon on the other hands shakes hands and was joking around with us. He was cool Bubba was a douchebag I ll get some pics up tomorrow. Like I said though it was a great time.

TC:

Bubba Ray is one of those guys that thinkshe has accomplished something. The bottom line is that he turned his back on the guy who made him a superstar...no, not Paul E., Im talking Vincent K. Mcmahon.

Bubba cannot perform as a singles performer and thus he will neve rbe considered a great performer, in my eyes. Glad to hear you had a good time, but I wouldnt walk across the street to shake hands with him. You are right, he is a deuchebag.

How did Roode do last night? I think he has the ability to be a big time performer. Kind of suprised he didnt jump to WWE.

Yea it sucked he was douch, but Devon was cool as heck. He was joking around with my mom about them beating Booker T. He seemed pretty cool. Roode didnt do to bad. I think yoru right if he wa sin teh WWE he might have a chance to be a bigger star. Hes good with Beer Money, but the writing has him going now where. Ill tell you one thing Angelina hot and she has a great body.

Heres the pics sorry it took so long to get them up. In the last pic they broke a piece of the table off and picked this little dude out of the crowd and gave it to him after they signed it.

Nice....did you get a shirt?

I got a Dudleys shirt. Its got a list of all their title reigns on the back.

i haven't watched wrestling for a while. i used to watch all the time. i tuned in to a tna show the other night. we all know the moves are pretty much choreographed but these guys were awful. falling back before even knocked down. was it me or is tna kinda like the has-been or never-will-be show now? kevin nash looked downright awful. im not knocking wrestling cuz ive definitely watched my share of it but dang, what happened to the well oiled machine?


btw:

oh you didnt know. your a$$ better call somebodyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

loved degeneration X

The New Age Outlaws where there, but as individuals. BG James (Road Dog) is a TNA backstage helper I guess you would call him. He came out and got into a fight with this British dude beat him up and then did a little dancing and did his Oh you didnt know. Then Kip James (Billy Gunn) came out and wrestled Abyss. Dude is pretty well put together. He is a solid 270. It was a horrible match. Abyss won then Kip had some words with Jeremy Borash and ended up giving him the crotch crop, which got a loud pop when he did that.


One of TNA's problems is Vince Russo. He helped Vince in the attitude era, but his ego go to big he went to WCW to try to bring down WWE and we see how well that turned out. Russo is the guy that brought you David Arquette as the WCW champ. Their writing is horrible, plus they try to make everything a gimmick match. I think your right Styles could be huge in WWE. I think LAX, Alex Shelley, and Christopher Daniels could as well. As for Samoa Joe he once was in WWE he actually wrestled Edge in a dark match. He was a lot skinnier then. Joe is pretty good, but he cant talk and he looks like Dusty Rhodes. Which is not a good thing if your supposed to be this unstoppable bad guy. His new Nation of Violence gimmick sucks right now.

sorry guys, i cant watch tna anymore. i cant watch sting, booker t, nash, mick foley, big poppa pump make fools of themselves anymore. these guys were awesome in their prime and now, well they're old. is there any chance that sting will shed the goth look, go back to spiked blond hair and return to the wwe? what ever happened to syxx(wcw)/x-pac(wwe) from DX?

X-pac is wrestling in Mexico.
The last I saw, he was with the AAA lucha libre outfit.
FYI ... Konnan is also there.
TC71 is spot-on about the writing in TNA. It's awful for the most part.
I will give TNA some credit for having a good tag team division. Bringing in the Dudleys has helped beef that up.
I think LAX, Beer Money, The Guns, Creed & Lethal all do a great job. So do the guys from Japan.
I wouldn't mind seeing a Styles-Daniels tag team on a regular basis.

ive only watched tna for two weeks but (i think) chris daniels seems like he has had some real training.

are they both owned by mcmahon?

Qualified....

Panda Energy owns 71% of TNA and Jeff Jarrett owns the remaining 29%.

As for Sting ever making a debut in the WWE....The answer is no. Vince McMahon tried to get him there a few years ago, but they did not see eye to eye on the situation. Vince wanted him to travel everywhere making all of the house shows and Sting did not want to do that.

Sting is a very religious person, just like Shawn Michaels is. He would rather use his time traveling to different churches around the country instead of being in the ring night after night. He does not even tour with TNA as much as most of the roster because of his other commitments.

Runner, on the matter of Sting. I was at Wal Mart last night checking out the videos and I saw the Greatest Stars of the 90's vid from WWE. I was looking at it and out of the list of like 20 names only one stood out to me and that was Sting. Out of all the guys on that list he is the only non WWE wrestler listed. Lex Luger was on there, but he had that run for a couple years in WWE. I know Vince owns all the video archives of ECW and WCW, but do you think this might be an overture to Sting to try to entice him to come in when his contract with TNA is up?

TC71

I don't feel that by having Sting on the video is any way in the line of trying to get him to go to the WWE. I think it it is because of Bret Hart, and having 2 of the biggest names going against each other. Also Vince McMahon knows that he let one of the biggest names in the sport get away from him.

Sting had the option of joining WWE, but did not like the storyline that was going to presented to the guys from the WCW, as they were all going to be looked down upon by the WWE roster. He had a choice of joining WWE or staying away from the business until his WCW contract expired. He chose the latter and did not wrestle anywhere until he was free of his contract.

Yeah Im with you runner. I just throw that thought out there to see what anybody else thought. If Sting was going to come in he would have already done it. He would have just jobbed around like all the other WCW guys did because Vince was stroking his own ego. Stings about done as it is.
Are they coming out with a rise and fall of WCW? I used to watch Nitro all the time and never really got into RAW when it first came out. Then I started watching both of them flipping channels. More RAW because they had Steve, Rock, and Mankind. The NWO was awesome at first then they just got to many guys in it and broke it into to many factions.

As for "The Rise And Fall Of WCW"......I have not heard anything about it and cannot find anything on the internet about it. But if you do any torrents or anything.....look up "Monday Night Wars". It sums it up pretty well.

Ok I know about the Monday Night wars DVD.
