If WWE is stupid enough to let any more big names walk away (Benoit), I don't expect TNA to stick with JJ at the top guy.

Let's not forget that the Carters aren't too happy with Jerry Jarrett, so I wouldn't expect them to continue having Double J as the main focus.

2006 is the year they push The Boogeyman and the Dicks, silly net fans.

It's funny, a few years later Krusher Krushchev suddenly was a completely different gimmick and personality. It took me a long time to realize who Krusher was since he was ingrained in my brain as a huge monster.

From TNA's website: Then in his update, Meltz added:

Luger always reminded me of the retarded guy from Of Mice and Men, a simple guy who could tear you to pieces if so inclined but he's usually too nice to do it.

You know, a lot of the problems faced by guys like Shelton could be fixed by being paired with someone who can talk. Too bad male managers are passe` now, imagine how Heenan, Corny or even Jimmy Hart could help some of these young guys who can work but can't talk.

Heh that was my first thought when Davari came out: "Coffey just wet his pants!" I wonder, was someone in Coach's headset telling him to act like that or was he being a cock on his own? It sounded like someone was fucking with all three of them, how can it be that none of them know the date of one of the company's top 4 PPVs? I agree with the opinon that King needs to go. Wrestling commentary works best with a strong heel color man and a face/neutral PBP man. Coach and Styles fit that best.

Vince must really be torn over what to do with Heyman, considering that fucking with his competitors is the only thing that's as close to his heart as making Steph happy.

From her point of view, I can see why OVW booking would seem horrible. It's obvious she hates old school style wrestling, and that's the vibe you get watching OVW TV. It's the complete polar oppposite of what you see on WWE TV. In a twisted way, she has a point since being in a well booked TV show in no way prepares a guy for working with WWE.

Considering the ratings and PPV buyrates, I think the fans are letting their opinon be known.

Just think, some of the guys who got a bad rap for promos that sound like they were reading them off a card....they probably were.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but how do they want OVW to be booked? More midgets and penis jokes? I swear, I watched the Tolands....err "The Dicks" on Velocity and I wanted to cry. They were facing jobbers, but they looked real sharp and ready for prime time....yet all the announcers could comment on was "they must be brothers, the only other way you could have the same last name is if they were married". That and being way too obvious that someone was in their headsets telling them to mention the name "Dick" every five seconds with emphasis.

Stephanie has had a personal grudge against Heyman for a while, so I'm not surprised to hear she still wants him fired. The mind boggles at how stupid it will be when WWE either fires Heyman or lets his contract run out, considering TNA is building steam to potentially pose a challenge in the near future.

Meltzer's statement is like someone who writes a football magazine saying they've sacrificed more than the players. I'm not doubting he gave up a lot personally to make the Observer successful, but his sacrifices pale in comparison to guys who sacrifice their bodies and in some cases their lives for the business. You think the Hart family thinks Meltz sacrificed as much or more than they did?

So the nostalgia craze has affected Japan now too?

I think that's a big reason why some wrestlers look down on guys like Meltz. Now I'm sure Dave works hard and made some sacrifices, but to suggest his sacrifices were more than or equal to anyone in wrestling is just flat out insane. I mean, I don't think Meltz ever tore a quad getting the latest Observer mailed out. I don't think he ever got divorced or estranged from his children because he was always on the road. I don't think he ever went bankrupt from trying to keep his dream alive. I can't imagine how much a statement like that would piss off a guy who's spent his life in the business taking bumps every night.

The card so far: SIX MAN MAIN EVENT Rhino and Team 3D vs. Jeff Jarrett and America's Most Wanted X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles vs. Team Canada’s Petey Williams ELIMINATION X MATCH: ELIMINATION RULES “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels, “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe, Alex Shelley and Roderick Strong vs. Chris Sabin, Matt Bentley, “The Original Playa From The Himalaya” Sonjay Dutt and Austin Aries! NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH Sabu vs. The Monster Abyss CONTENDER'S MATCH "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown vs."The Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy TAG TEAM BATTLE Team Canada vs. The 3Live Kru Other matches will probably be announced on the Impact! before the PPV. Since the "Elimination X" match is basically a Survivor Series match done TNA style, could this be the first shot across the bow of WWE by doing one of their signature style matches? Doing this on the November PPV is certianly no accident.

Another interesting bit is Heyman's contract is up at the end of the year too, so WWE is going to have to either re-sign someone Steph absolutely hates or risk letting go someone who could really push TNA to become a solid challenger.

The NWA has a North American title that would fit that role perfectly, and currently the title's only defended whenever someone remembers the belt still exists.

Whatever it takes to get Haas in is fine by me. And Jackie's not that bad as long as she doesn't attempt to wrestle again.

Yeah, Vince would never let a guy work drunk. They have to be drunk AND stoned, just ask Marty.

I thought for sure that Jimmy Hart appearing for the HOF/WM stuff meant they had some sort of deal. For that matter, how did he retain the rights for music he came up with while under WWF contract? Isn't it Business 101 that anything created while under contract to a company reverts to that company's possession when the person leaves? Netflix has the 4 individual 5-disc sets, but I don't know if I even want to put it in my queue with everything all chopped and dubbed.

I think the wait was until Loss got DVD recording capabilities, which should be happening in about a month or so.
