    Better Promotional Transaction

    Technically, WCW got the better transaction. Hall, Nash, Pac and Piper made them more money that the radicalz ever made the WWF/WWE. Not saying they weren't useful or big stars at the time, but given the result of those moves, WCW got the better deal. Their impending demise had nothing to do...

    Thursday Night Wars

    TNA did crush ECW once when it was pre-empted to go head to head with Impact. So TNA beating a WWE program is possible, but yeah, this scenario is not going to happen and Impact's ratings would suffer from it, but so would Smackdown's. Not a good a move for either company. However, the ratings...

    How to Fix Immortal?

    TNA utilized stables because it allowed for them to get their over-sized roster on television. I completely understand it from that perspective. They have 2 hours of television and when you look at RAW, for instance, how many wrestlers appear on RAW on a weekly basis? Probably in the area of...

    Samoa Joe in WWE?

    I would love to see this list. Try making it with people that were pushed when the company they came from was still around. Every time WWE goes on a hot run and pushes a guy the IWC loves, they tend to suddenly think WWE will book anyone of their favorites into a star. You people have way too...

    Samoa Joe in WWE?

    Kharma didn't have a match yet. Also, being treated as the queen of the divas isn't exactly the same as being the king of the superstars. Due to how big Kong is, there is no way to book her any differently unless WWE are idiots. Samoa Joe can easily be a tag-team or a lower-card talent...

    [Bound For Glory] Kurt Angle v. ?

    Samoa Joe is more likely than mostly everyone on that list. He actually has a storyline as he has been screwed for several weeks in a row and now, by far, has the lowest score in the tournament. More than likely, he is going to make a huge comeback. Crimson is not doing it, he is not main...

    What exactly happened at WCW Bash at the Beach 2000

    The story goes that it was a worked shoot designed to start a major storyline feud between Hogan/Bischoff and Vince Russo/Jarrett. Vince Russo's promo after it went too far as he buried Hogan, and Bischoff/Hogan didn't want to do business with Russo because of the way he buried Hogan on the...

    Kurt Angle is the *NEW* TNA World Heavyweight Champion!

    Crimson is NOT main eventing Bound For Glory. People are buying way too much into this undefeated streak. He didn't even go over cleanly on RVD, he's not main eventing the biggest of show of the year. Robert Roode is still TNA Tag Team Champion and while yes, he could possibly lose the tag...

    NWO 2002

    Eric Bischoff would have came in for the nWo and would have made the storyline a whole lot better, especially if they turned against Vince and vowed to takeover WWE. I think the storyline could have worked a whole lot better than it did, almost like a re-do of the Invasion angle.

    WWE vs the Alliance 2?

    WWF did an short invasion angle with ECW back before they even had television in 1997. When ECW did have television, they pulled in 0.7-1.1 (at the most) and that was when ratings points were worth less (more viewers per 0.1 now). TNA has a far bigger audience then ECW ever did, especially when...

    explain how Goldberg's run in WWE was badly booked?

    Goldberg meeting Goldust This was his 2nd week if I remember correctly. Made him look like a goof. Goldberg's booking wasn't bad just because of his wins and losses (and how they were done) but by lots of the little details like this. They put him in situations where they knew he wouldn't...

    Best PPV Name Ever!

    I agree on the SuperBrawl name. A nice homage to the SuperBowl and certainly comes off like a big time event. Starrcade I liked too. Not sure why, it's just a good name for a PPV.

    Who do you think will be "bigger": Gunner or Crimson?

    Gunner, I think. He's got a certain level of intensity in him that I like and is more experienced (though Crimson is also fairly intense himself). Both can be big stars though. We will see.

    Who Has Surprised You More?

    Matt Hardy has met my expectations of what I expected of him in TNA. Some people may be surprised given the internet hate he got for 5 months before his debut, but I always knew he could hang in the ring and have good matches (his match with AJ Styles at Victory Road was great, IMO). Bully Ray...

    KB Busts Up Another Myth: What Killed WCW

    I think you are missing the point. AOL/TW was selling WCW to Fuscient Media ventures. Whether the company made money was no longer a problem. Under the deal they were finalizing, AOL/TW would no longer being paying for WCW. Thus, they would get the programming of Nitro/Thunder, but they would no...
