sek69 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 So the JB/Park vs Matthews/Big Poppa Pump match turned into what a Broken Universe match without the Hardys would be like. Jim Mitchell returned to bring back Abyss to Black Hole Slam Josh into thumbtacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Sienna/Rosemary to unify the GFW and TNA women's titles was a decent match with a twist on the usual green mist deal (Sienna put her hand over Rosemary's mouth when she sprayed the mist then rubbed her eyes to be able to lock her into a submission win). So the main event is Lashley with King Mo and assorted American Top Team members in his corner vs Alberto with Dos Caras Sr and Jr in his corner. This is already the most pro wrestling thing ever.

That finish looked like a twist of a finish between Decay and The Wolves from last year when Eddie Edwards did something similar to Rosemary and then Davey sprayed the mist in Rosemary's eyes.

sek69 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 How is Jim Mitchell looking these days? Pretty much the same only with a bald head now. btw the Alberto-Lashley match was pretty good too. Alberto won with his top rope footstomp move that somehow hasn't caused an old timer to rant on how it's killing the business yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 lol'ing so hard at this: The latest installment of WWE 24 will feature exclusive commentary from many of Angle's closest friends and colleagues, including Mr. McMahon and Dixie Carter, who worked with The Olympic Gold Medalist from 2006 to 2016. They should have went full petty and said she worked with him at the now-defunct TNA since that would be technically correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Yikes. With the whole story of him and Paige apparently splitting up then getting back together before the PPV, this strikes me as a very bad sign. And TNA… well GFW, is kinda fucked. Again. (and Paige should run away if there is domestic abuse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thread Killer Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 If you ever needed proof of the negative long term effects of chairshots to the head... Mick Foley posted this on his Facebook page today: DIXIE CARTER ON WWE TV – this makes me happy! Yes, I am very happy that Dixie Carter will be appearing Monday night, after WWE Raw on the WWE Network special on Kurt Angle. Dixie did a lot for wrestling, a lot for Kurt and so many wrestlers – and in my opinion, her contributions to the wrestling business have been largely overlooked or greatly underestimated. I have heard most of the criticisms before. I was personally critical of Dixie and TNA on several occasions when I worked there – and have poked a little good-natured fun at them from time to time since leaving. But, with the benefit of hindsight, I came to see how fortunate I was to have had Dixie Carter in my life – and how fortunate professional wrestling was to have had her in our business. For the past few years, I wanted to write an article, “It’s a Wonderful Life, Dixie Carter”, where – in the spirit of the classic Jimmy Stewart movie – I would try to imagine the wrestling landscape had Dixie not been part of our world. I never quite got around to it. So instead, I wrote her a hand-written letter last month, expressing both my appreciation for what she had done for professional wrestling, and my gratefulness for having had the opportunity to work for her. But, try if you can to imagine the landscape of professional wrestling has she chosen not to become part of it in 2002. It almost certainly would look much bleaker than it does today. I didn’t always agree with Dixie’s decisions, but she was a good boss, a good person and a blessing to our business. I’m proud to call her a friend – and happy that she will be appearing on WWE TV. If you could do me a small favor, try to fight that strong urge to say something negative – and perhaps think about sharing a nice thought about Dixie or TNA in the comments. I wonder what Jim Cornette, Billy Corgan, the executives at Spike TV and Destination America, and the countless creditors that Dixie Carter lied to and ripped off would have to say nice about Dixie. This woman was responsible for employing Vince Russo - twice - and lying about it. She deserves nothing nice to be said about her contributions to the wrestling business. WTF is wrong with Foley?

And employees. Wasn't TNA the company where some women workers had to get part-time jobs to make it while getting the best ratings quarters ? Foley surely had nothing but good things to say about Dixie personnally, but she is one if not the main reason why TNA never got past the point of irrelevancy. Wanna give any credit for TNA existing and giving guys a platform to work and show their stuff ? Credit Jarrett. Fucking Dixie Carter, please...

flyonthewall2983 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 I never thought I would lose respect for someone who gave so much to what he loved, and made it something a lot of people loved, and in the process becoming a rightly beloved personality himself. If just to defend her reputation to the countless online trolls who will tear into her anyway, what he said is still indefensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Well I'm sure Mick's checks always cleared, plus he got to work 1/10th the schedule so I guess it was pretty great that Dixie got into the business from his perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Bologna Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 He also liked Herb Abrams. His standards for people who pay him aren't all that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thread Killer Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 My main issue is the fact he keeps trying to say that Dixie Carter did something for wrestling. Well, she did...it just wasn't anything good. I can see him liking her, hell I've had a few incompetent bosses at various jobs over the years who I thought were perfectly nice people - they just happened to be not very good at their jobs. Saying she's a nice person is fine, claiming that wrestling was lucky to have her and she did a lot for the industry is just delusional, and insulting to the intelligence.

Dewar Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 She provided big paydays to a lot of workers for a long time. From the standpoint of someone who got some of those big paydays, I can see how Foley could say she did a lot for the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 They just announced Alberto has been stripped of the title, so now we have the strange feeling of them making the right call for possibly the first time ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
