Sorry to anyone I annoyed with the marking ouot for ECW stuff really,JO,Demon,Franny

You didn't annoy me, sorry if came across like that, I mean I watched the PPV or what I could of it since I could barely find working streams. I watched on Thursdays leading up to the PPV, so I helped give them ratings. I'm just saying that once this all goes away, the ratings will go back down because TNA has done nothing to build up the guys that will be there long term, AJ, Beer Money, MCMG, Jay Lethal. Just people will tune in to see the old ECW guys and that will be it.

[FlaccoFlicker]

i really wish that wasn't the case because TNA has some great young talent and fans are missing out on some great wreslting but then again with some of the ones they decide to push and the booking its easy to get turned away. I didn't even think I was posting multiple posts,I thought I was updating til I went back LOL im going to clean this page up!

The hype didn't help this ouot that much still think one night stand(the 1st)was better but still have a little over an hour to go

wrestling has been more enjoyable as a whole here lately.Yes there has been some decent matches and MITB was a decent PPV.Which is good because the Summer is usually slow for the business.

Last nights PPV was ok in my eyes,still think the Original One Night Stand was better.A bald Sabu freaked me out,and TNA ppv's last til about 10:55 normally and this one was over at about 10:40.

The puzzle game of them not being able to say the names of peeps was stupid but yeah understand legality of it all.The crowd made last night Electric and i feel that's a big reason some matches or shows are more successful.If your watching on tv and the crowd is silent it is hard to get into it.(watch the diva matches),but last night was fun.Wasn't a great card by any means and alot had to do with other priorites,or people just not wanting to do it.But the biggest thing missing from an ECW type ppv last night(and they touched on it) was Joey Styles!!!!!!!.Crowd chanted Oh my god oh my god for awesome spots but it isn't the same.Joel Gertner was there andd did his promo,and the Dudley's in tie dye again lol.Mahoney did his usual spot thru a flaming table,and the fact New Jack appeared was a surprise. all in all I say an 8 out of 10,but then again as a old school ECW mark that might be a blessing

To touch back on Bloodravens point,I am happy to see the young talent sprouting in the WWE,people like McIntyre,Miz,Morrison,Sheamus,Rhodes,and Dibiase along with others.It brings hope there is a decent future ahead.We hit a period the last few years of the same people going over and the young talent is finally stepping up,but also give credit to the Vets like Jericho who have no problems putting people over.Remmeber they don't have to win to be over,just have a good showing in the ring.

Nah, man. I wasn't annoyed at all. For $35, I'm glad you were marking out for a PPV lol Paying money and being disappointed at the results of a card is one of my biggest pet-peeves.

I must be practically all-knowing, because I had a feeling someone posted this and changed the title of the thread before I even saw the post.

This explains so much lol

Yeah first time in awhile(well Wrestlemania)i payed for a ppv.I enjoyed it but was missing so much of the old days.No Heyman,A really quick Sandman,no cat fight!,Rhino didn't even gore someone thru a table .But FIRE!!!!! lol it's been done but I enjoyed it.Now lets hope SS sapes up to be good,.

I'll mark out for anything Dwayne does. Heck, I went to see The Other Guys partly because he was in it, and his 10 minutes of screen time aside, it was well worth the price of admission, IMO.

This movie will probably be crap like the last one, but I don't care, it's Dwayne being B.A.!

Other Guys did look good but Rock and Sam only have about ten minutes time?Prob wont have time for theater but you would recommend a definite rental?

Definite rental if you can't see it in theaters, yes. Rock and Sam only have 10 minutes screen time, but their last scene is unexpectedly hilarious; I almost died laughing because it was so out of left-field but so appropriate.

FF-I was just messing with you bro. lolz I watched TNA PPV as well.

oh i know that was just messing around myself was in an Extreme mode last night

[FlaccoFlicker]

Any ideas of what might happen tonight on Raw?

[theFRANCHISE]

If something "big" is supposed to happen tonight (which it better!), I'm hoping there's big-name replacements to Edge and Jericho, and I can see those two interfering in the SummerSlam main event as a swerve and helping Team RAW get the win, rather than helping the Nexus.

I'm always, always holding out hope for something involving The Rock, though. OR a Cena heel turn being hinted again. Something. Anything! I have zero interest in SummerSlam at all this year.

[FlaccoFlicker]

i was thinking what Jo said also about possibly Edge and Jericho forming there own team or something like that.Granted 21 bodies would be too many for the match but we could start out with 14 at the beginning of the night and end up with 7.

[Wacko4Zacko]

Wasnt this week taped? So there should be spoilers, but who like to read those. lolz

[FlaccoFlicker]

No this week is live I believe,last week was taped don't see three weeks being taped at once,ecspecially leading up to a major ppv

[FlaccoFlicker]

One of the advertised main events is

John Cena and Bret Hart vs. Chris Jericho and Edge

[theFRANCHISE]

That match will be atrocious if Hart sees any ring time whatsoever. The man is just not what he used to be, and not really his own fault. He's had a lot of medical issues in the years since his prime.

I have a feeling the match will happen at the top of the hour and then the real main event will be announced because the match is interrupted or cut short.

Bring me Hart's Cane~!I think this is the real reason I can not fathom the SS team,could get past mediocre Truth and Khali but Hart in this era no ty.

Sadly Truth is a very talented guy but his character is sooo lame......Hey black guy you be a rapper!

Vince is notorious for stereotyping his gimmicks. Shoot, that's probably why he's still held back Gail Kim. Ultimo Dragon also never got a fair shake even though he would've been a great Cruiserweight Champion. And, of course, there was Cryme Tyme, who could've helped rebuild the tag team division with the Hart Dynasty and the Legacy, but they were never legitimate threats to the tag titles.

I'll give him a pass on R-Truth, mainly because Ron Killings does rap on the side. He's just not particularly good at it...Mystikal rip-off, and no one realizes it because Mystikal was no longer relevant after he went to jail...

He is supposedly recording a new entrance song,and I think he could be great mid-card fodder,no higher.It will be interesting to see how this angle goes,How much longer does the Nexus exist?

And I am not looking forward to it because his rapping skills are horrible. I'd rather see John Cena record a new entrance theme because I'm getting sick of "The Time is Now" even though I loved it when he first started using it. Entrance themes just aren't what they used to be.

I can see this Nexus angle going on until Survivor Series. It would be fitting for it to end with a traditional Survivor Series elimination match.

Isn't Sunday's main event an elimination match? or just 7 on 7? Delay it long enough until Hunter comes back lol,hell bring back War Games at Survivor Seires

Shoot, you're right, Sunday's match is an elimination match. I have no clue then what they'll do to end the angle lol.

they kicked the idea of bringing war games back,not sure if you are familiar with that but basically it,s 2 rings side by side enclosed in a steeel cage with a lid not as tall as HITC basically about 10-15 feet high.I am sure they could tweak it some but I think it would be a decent match

[FlaccoFlicker]

How do you have a reality show with records like NXT when the results are pre-determined?

[McBurks]

Kudos to whoever changed the the thread title to Pro Wrestling,got tired of talking just about WWE.

That being said,I watched TNA's Hard Justice last night and wanted to throw myself out the window. The PPV was bad, there were two good matches (Dudleyz match, RVD/Sabu's match) but I was baffled at how stupid some of it was. Why would The Gangsta's come out and beat everybody down and then a few minutes later hug like it was nothing? And didn't this Raven and Tommy Dreamer feud ended almost a decade ago? Why are they going back to it? I was really looking forward to this PPV because Jerry Lynn was going to wrestle and I knew he wouldn't let me down,but of course he gets hurt and there goes TNA's main event.

I think TNA would have benefited from having the PPV in Philly where most of there fan base lives,not at the Impact Zone.

Sheesh guess I am the only one who enjoyed the PPV last night.I liked the whole show(minus some missing people and no Rhino putting someone thru a table).The Ganstas came out to basically come out and fight.This was supposed to be the big "final" sendoff for ECW.Granted I agree with you that the hug should have came at the end lol.And yeah Philly might have been better but it sounded like some of Philly came to FL.

Dreamer vs. Raven was the safe way,being good friends they figure why not bloody each other up.He never got over Dreamer getting Beulah.The main event was decent with alot of high spots but still think it coulda been better,but granted as much as I loved ECW back in the day,wasn't a Sabu or RVD fan.

But hey this is wrestling and as fans we all have our opinion on what we like and don't
