    WWE vs TNA Thread (Business Strategy, Creative Direction, Head-to-Head Shows, Etc.)

    I don't think TNA will ever be selling out arenas, in all honesty. It's possible, but improbable. Maybe smaller, college based 10k seat arenas.. But no where near the numbers WWE is at. And if they do, it won't happen for YEARS. Growth like that happens over decades. By the inaugural...

    Old School Ask A Question Thread.

    I've been seeing a lot of that lately too. Even the old NWO music is missing on my wrestlemania X8 dvd.. I think it's because a lot of the WCW stuff was generic stuff that Turner Broadcasting owned that was also recycled on their other TV shows. I'm sure when Vince bought them out he only...

    Old School Ask A Question Thread.

    Nevermind, just dug for a while and got my answer: "Ken Patera won more than one Gold Medal, but it wasn't in the Olympics, it was in the Pan American Games. Listen carefully to when the WWE hypes up Kurt Angle, they say "The only Olympic Gold Medalist in WWE history." Keyword here is...

    Old School Ask A Question Thread.

    Just sort of a random question I was thinking about... Why is Kurt Angle hailed as Pro Wrestling's only Olympic Gold Medalist? I believe Ken Patera would hold that title, even in the WWE... I'm usually pretty knowledgeable about this stuff, but I would like to know or hear why you guys think...

    Match of the Decade

    I feel like everyone is overlooking how crazy the world went when Chris Jericho won the title on Raw in 2000, which ended in Earl Hebner reversing the decision, than being fired by the "McMahon-Helmsley Regime." I know, there wasn't a build to it, but it opened the show that night, and was one...

    [Official] ROH Thread

    Just as a heads up, I just saw they have some 1st row tickets left for the Final Countdown Tour shows at the ECW arena for only 30 bucks.. I'm definitely not spamming, just figured some people here would be as excited for that as I am. Lemme know if you'll be there!

    Original vs. Cover- Holy Diver

    I haven't ever been a RJD fan... so sue me haha. The Killswitch version introduced that song to kids that probably would have never known Dio existed, so Ronnie should be stoked on that. That said, I don't think there's a ton of bands that can compete with KSE in a number of different ways...

    Original VS. Cover: Land of Confusion

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bm4r8oNm-o (there's the link since I guess I don't know how to embed correctly yet.) I've never been big on videos, and Anders Fridén and In Flames beat Disturbed to the punch on this cover. I've always thought the In Flames version of that song was far...

    Favorite Match You Attended

    Only PPV I got to go to was King Of The Ring 2001.... Angle vs Shane was so incredible to see live, especially being still semi young. I will neeeeever forget it. SIX belly to belly suplexes I believe it was to get him through all three plates. And the Angle Slam off the top? Loved that whole...

    Is Wrestling A Form Of Artistic Expression?

    So glad you mentioned that too, as I too used to work, and anyone saying professional wrestling isn't competitive, is completely green, and hasn't the slightest clue what they're talking about. Professional wrestling is an incredible free flowing artform. Sometimes beautiful things are...

    Welcome all New Members (If You Are New Post in Here)

    Gotta say, my first few days on here, and I am definitely liking it. Its got a pretty small group feel to it, and seems like there's a pretty nice collection of fans from all spectrum. Thanks for being quite welcoming in my first week here, guys.

    The [Official] Entourage Thread

    xfearbefore, you're quickly turning into one of my favorite people on here. The inception of this thread was a HUGE step forward in that haha. This show is absolutely incredible. I've been balls deep in it since season two started, when my brother and I still had our little black box getting...

    Frank Mir Vs. Anderson Silva?

    I'm not so sure I could believe Silva going up that high, and still retaining the same style.. But if anyone can do it, it's him.. That said, I'm not expecting it to happen right now, if it does at all... However, the though of that guy fighting in that class... It makes me drool. If he can...

    WWE Rated G(What I think would happen)

    I'll be honest... I'm not going to read that whole first episode... But Hunter's kids better be involved in some sort of baby d-x angle and Orton's kid (with the cast from Grandpa Bob.)

    Christopher Daniels Arrested

    CD is just SO stupid for even letting this happen.. I couldn't help but lol upon reading it. It's downright childish, and ridiculous on his and Helms' part. I really hope they're ashamed of this mistake, and honestly do learn a VERY valuable lesson. It would be a damn shame to lose a talent like...
