Weeeeeeeeeell, normally I hang around r/ SquaredCircle for Monday Night RAW and the PPV's--oh excuse me, I forgot. Vince likes to call them "Special Events" now. Anyway, if this becomes a thing I'm for it. Should be fun.

Plus it's more legitimate. Brock is a monster of a human being and a former UFC champ. There is no way it is believable a crippled 50 year old could beat him.

I think that's because the B-shows like ER are now only on the network. They referred to Summerslam as a PPV just this last week or so, though.
 
Since we're kinda treating this as the all-purpose wrestling thread (which I'm in favor of), I'll bring it up.

Anyone else like to listen to wrestling shoot interviews? While I don't watch wrestling anymore, I still find the road stories, the behind the scenes shit, the gripes with management and all the other sordid shit really fascinating to listen to when I'm playing steam games or browsing ebay or whatever.

I'm actually watching the Kayfabe Commentaries one with Al Snow (who will pretty much change the way you look at wrestling and someone even wrote an article relating his critiques about the wrestling business to SF and fantasy writing: http://www.apex-magazine.com/al-snows-advice-for-sf-writers/) and the other day I watched the RF Videos shoot interview with Nova (which is on Dailymotion in its entirety). I also highly recommend the RF Video shoot with Billy Jack Haynes, because the guy is absolutely batshit insane and it's an absolute car wreck to the listen to.

I think my all time favorite was the shoot interview with New Jack from about 2000 and the recent one from 2012 where he spends the entire thing trashing his ex-girlfriend Terri Runnels and telling everyone that Abdullah the Butcher has HIV and his restaurant sucks.

 
Probably not. And if the rumors are to be believed, there's won't be a TNA for much longer.
 
Their TV deal got cancelled. :lol:

Wouldn't be the first time. Before they were on Spike they were on FSN and got dropped, so for a while they floundered about with some online show (that was allegedly aired on TV overseas) before they lucked out with the Spike deal. But I think they're done for this time. If nothing else, they proved to other networks that they can't be trusted with the whole Russo thing, so even if they don't call it quits right away, they'll probably have a terrible time finding another TV deal.
 
They actually didn't get cancelled, yet. Someone leaked a rumor to TMZ and, of course, everyone believed it to be true because when I think of reliable, fact driven information, I think of TMZ.

Viacom and TNA both commented that TV contract negotiations were still in talks and definitive news should be released within a few weeks.
 
Closest Ive gotten to watching Wrestling was a couple month in collage and watching The Spoony One's Wrestle Wrestle. I've heard a lot about Cena getting his ass handed to him recently though
 
So I'm actually in training at our local show here in town so I fully embrace the fact we have fans here. Just need to be more active I think.
 
Haven't ever really been a huge fan of wrestling, but hearing about Jace's father figure getting his ass handed to him has kind of renewed my interest in the sport.

Once in a while, I'd watch a match with my roommate when he had one. He was a huge John Cena fan and was huge into him to the point of serious sperging.

I was eating Thanksgiving dinner with my family though, so I couldn't beg my parents to order that PPV and had to wait until "Superstars" on Saturday to find out who the mystery partner was. *sigh*
 
I saw the debut live. I didn't think much of him back then. I thought he was just being brought in for one match and that he would be gone. I was a little kid though. I was more worried about what was in the egg that hatched.
 
Didn't Warrior want the award to be about the Makeup Lady Jans and That Lady Who Makes Flair's Robes and behind-the-scenes people like that?
