I think the problem with Karen's Angle is that it's neither here nor there. I thought it was going to be similar to the Roughcuts segments, but more in depth and focused. That's what the Kaz stuff was. Allowing you to get closer to the wrestlers on a personal level and putting over their...

Scorpio - you say the things in your post aren't related, but they are related. You can basically sum up your post by saying get rid of all the gimmicks and characters and have all of them just wear plain black trunks and wrestle. And if that's what you like, fine. But it's not what I like. And...

I'd want to push Hernandez, and I'd do it as follows. I would bring in a new guy (preferably a luchador) to be the "third" member of LAX, he should not dress like a typical luchador though he should be in the LAX gang thing. For this post I will call this Luchador Jose, I dunno what his name...

I think you guys are crazy. The Styles/Angle feud has been fantastic, TNA have convincingly built the idea of a real personal vendetta between them, based in part on Kurt thinking AJ slept with his wife. They have had great match after great match - Hard Justice was 5* and MOTYC - and I see no...

Supposedly the reason Foley is unhappy as a commentator in WWE is that he hates being screamed at by McMahon all through the broadcasts. Foley as commentator in TNA could really really help the product. It's not a question of his name value it's a question of what he can still offer - he's a...

What you say just isn't true, mysterio_fan. For instance, Ron Killings has been champion twice, and has had title shots on many other occasions, including at major PPVs e.g. Slammiversary 2006. TNA pushes whoever deserves it.

Kaz as a masked wrestler doesn't sound good, but it all depends how it's done. As with all these things, the execution and the details matter much more than the broad concept. If it's done well it'll be good, if done badly it'll be bad. Suppose it's the summer of 1996. WCW's top face was Sting...

MCMG lost one match, anyone would think it is the end of the world. If they cannot get over despite losing the occasional match, they cannot get over period. It's the internet bookers who are stupid if they think MCMG need to win every match they're in. TNA's booking is quite logical - MCMG are...

This is silly. Yes children grow up but more children come along to replace them, and I don't think that people in their late 30s/40s are likely to be dying any time soon. This is not why male 18-35 is important. The reason that the male 18-35 demographic is seen as the target audience for...

He didn't see nothing. He saw a crow. Sting's look and gimmick is it's a takeoff of a (very cool) movie from the mid-90s called "The Crow." That movie is about a guy who comes back from the dead to get revenge on his enemies, and is given awesome powers by the spirit of a crow. Basically Sting...

I posted this in a threat about Taylor Wilde: I was told this has nothing to do with her as a wrestler and received an infraction. I simply don't understand. Her personality and charisma are very much to do with her as a wrestler, and if we're honest about women's wrestling, so are her looks. I...

Worst misuse of talents? First name that springs to my mind is Ricky Steamboat, stupidly popular in WCW, just electrifying. Goes to WWF (as was) and is made a curtain-jerker, I believe as a way of saying "WCW is small-time compared to us." I would also put Dusty Rhodes in this category...

Basically what I'm saying is, none of these guys need fancy new finishers, and reading this thread you would be denying a huge number of moves to the other wrestlers (because you can't use another wrestler's finisher as an ordinary spot in your match). If the wrestler is over, and his finisher...

I don't think belts have much to do with anything really. You have to be more "over" (and you'll be better paid) to be the fourth guy in the main event scene than to be the Intercontinental champ. Maybe the WWE is giving some meaningless baubles out for PR reasons (and maybe the Obama factor...

In my opinion you are all trying to think about this much too logically. If it really becomes a big deal about who did it, they will spin it out for six months, by which time all the faces will have gone heel, all the heels will have gone face, and half the roster will have been fired under the...
