    The McMahon - Russo "filter" myth

    I'm not questioning whether Vince filters, just if he is actually good at it? Pre-Russo he thought Fake Diesel/Ramon, Bastion Booger, The Red Rooster, King Mabel, Mantaur, Issac Yankem among many other awful gimmicks were good enough to pass what WWE claim to be some rigourous quality control...

    The McMahon - Russo "filter" myth

    What do you mean the same way McMahon made Himself WWF champion in 99?....and the Royal Rumble winner?........and the ECW champion? No one loves to put themself over as much as VKM.

    The McMahon - Russo "filter" myth

    Following the recent firing of Vince Russo by TNA I've read a lot of people polishing up the old chestnut of "Russo was only good when VKM filtered all his crap". While undoubtedly Russo's output has been mixed over the years, I find it stunning that anyone credit's McMahon for "filtering"...

    Does Vince Russo Deserve the Blame?

    Russo was hired outof desperation at a time when Nitro had ratings at about a third of Raw. People too often see to forget what an absolute hole WCW was in by October 99. Feel a bit bad for Russo, started a cool new nWo with Bret Hart as the leader and Jeff Jarrett who had made a bit of a...

    Undertaker VS Stone Cold Steve Austin - Summerslam 1998

    Russo says he fought with McMahon for whole week leading upto the PPV. Says at one point it got to the stage where he was shouting at McMahon "This whole thing is horrible". The build up had been so good but Austin and Taker wanted to have a belt hand over/beer drinking as they were good friends...

    Who's going to benefit from Russo and Ferrara on creative?

    Spot on mate, weird how McMahon's supposed ability to "filter" out bullsh*t managed to miss this for the last like 3 months. The truth is when WWE tries to be funny now with things like this, Big Dick Johnson, Santina, "funny" Khali or anything DX does they fail miserably...Russo wrote the...

    Who's going to benefit from Russo and Ferrara on creative?

    I'm delighted these guys are back together, am a bit of a Russo mark so I'm going to point out some of the good things they did in WCW - - Bret Hart became world champ within a month after they joined, this was result of a great tournament leading into Mayhem 99. - Screamin' Norman Smiley...

    Angelina Love Released

    Looks like the statement released by her agent is very positive from a BP fans point of view, sounds like she has no intention of going to WWE and is looking to sort this all out and get back to TNA as soon as possible. I really can't imagine her going to WWE, they didn't rate her in...

    Should Tna stop dumpster diving?

    They should sign released guys who have youth on their side. No more guys from the 90s, but sign up the likes og Lashley, Kennedy and Burke by all means. They have talent and in the first two cases, good name recognition.

    Vince Russo mission - 3 Top talents

    Russo knows that people like Steiner and Booker T are seen as "has beens" by a lot of the IWC even though they can still work an okay match and are quality on the mic. Same thing happened in mid-90s when WWE still had Jake Roberts and Ultimate Warrior etc. Eventually you have to create new...

    JR to TNA????

    This would be epic, would be great for both TNA and JR. JR has been treated awfully by McMahon for decades, he's been fired he's had his colon surgery mocked in one of the least funny skits ever filmed. Plus rumour has it WWE only gave him a new contract to keep him from TNA. He has been...

    Poor KIP JAMES

    I think Kip is hilarious, loved when he said to Lauren - Kip - You know I used to have a car like this. (in reference to Sting's car that he offered to park lol) Lauren - Really, when? Kip - When I was over! He's way past it and remembered only for former glories, but am sure he's a...

    What's your first impressions of Hamada?

    Thought she was great, her kicks sounded devastating. Hope Kong stays but if she goes/takes a break they should have Hamada as a monster heel. Even if Kong stays they should have them both tearing through the division till they face each other at a big PPV.

    Whats his appeal ?

    Couldn't disagree more, Morgan is totally awesome on the mic and very agile for a big man in the ring. Think he's a future world champ after he turns face. Oh and I am sick of having to say this on here but he is an example of someone who is NOT a wwe reject. It was creatives fault not his...

    Who are TNA's WWE Rejects?

    It's stupid to call anyone a WWE reject, WWE has a MASSIVE roster and if you don't work there then there is one other major American promotion (sorryy ROH fans). Obviously WWE will release people, not everyone can get on tv long enough to have a storyline. Not everyone who got released from...
