I never said that JeriShow was an example of the "New Generation". I just said it was a good tag team, and it was
No you said it had magic. That's a step above good to me. Show isn't New Generation. He's Attitude Era.
I think Miz should be focusing more on his reign as US Champion than as a tag champ.
So he should feud with midcarders on his level rather than talking to one of the biggest stars in company history? Having a match with Kofi which we've seen before isn't as good as a new argument with someone that is a bigger deal than Kofi has ever been?
Fine, a pinfall victory. Whatever term you want to use.
The term I use is victory. Which they got.
Am I the only one who remembers that he got into a fight with his father when he was the RAW guest host? That went virtually nowhere. If people want Ted over, maybe they should have him feud with an actual member of the roster. Like, say, his former tag partner?
So you complain about the show being stale, and your solution is to have DiBiase associate with the guy that he's associated with since the day he debuted and was teaming with and facing in his debut match? It's better to do that than it is to go out on his own in a new direction, which is the point of his character, based upon the first four words of his theme song, "It's a new day"?
When Edge, RVD, and Punk held the briefcase, they each teased the audience for a while in regards to when and against who they would cash in.
Same as Swagger did last night as he changed his mind while showing he could attack at any time before canceling like Punk did just before he cashed in. Go on.
Night after he wins it, Swagger pretty much reveals who he's going to be facing, which hints at the possibility that he will be the first to cash in and lose.
You're right. Even without having seen Smackdown, you know he won't be there to do the same thing to Jericho or even win the title this coming Friday. Tell me, who do you like for Mania 27? I could make a fortune off you with the ability to read the future like that.
Add in the fact that, when guys cashed in before, the victim wasn't suddenly OK ten seconds after they were attacked. This does not look good for Swagger at all.
You're right. When Cena kicked out of Edge' first spear after surviving an Elimination Chamber match and when Hardy kicked out of a GTS after a ladder match it had been 12 seconds rather than ten. Amazing isn't it that a fresh Cena can get up from an attack where he had time to recover and stand up without actually fighting back against Swagger. HE STOOD UP! He really is a superman isn't he?
They kept doing flashbacks of Shawn's career. I'd like to think that drew in SOME people
Oh I know it got me in. I couldn't wait to sit down and watch Raw for the potential to see clips of matches that I can see in full elsewhere. Oh give me the clips baby! 10 seconds of a match that could be upwards of 20 years old is FAR better than anything TNA has, or at least that's what you just said.
The 8-year olds you're referring to would most likely be the ones who watch WWE regardless of what's going on, for whatever reason you can think of.
So they all buy or are given Cena shirts and hats because....they're pretty? And they stand and cheer and wave signs praising Cena and saying how much they love him because....they can't spell anything else and they react like Pavlov?
The jump in ratings is more than likely due to older fans, who heard of Shawn's retirement and wanted to see.
So the audience that TNA caters to, the older fans, were swayed by the promises of an old man talking rather than younger guys having wrestling matches. We have found the solution to TNA's problems: air reruns of Larry King. If a guy in his mid 40s draws ratings, imagine what LARRY KING would get!
In regards to the actors, name one other film they've been in besides Hot Tub Time Machine
Give me another 4 minutes of them on TV. They weren't on long enough for me to catch them. I was looking at the Bellas.
As for the women in swimsuits: It's called the internet. A couple of seconds of searching and you can find that easily.
Or in even fewer seconds with fewer movements, I could have seen them last night. But the Knockouts segments featuring the Beautiful People are rated as high as they are because people want to see their abilities right? No fan tunes in to see how they look. They were tiny outfits and move around provocatively for better aerodynamics right?
I believe that would be up. They want to follow the ratings they're getting.
I didn't see a new direction at all.
That's because you're looking at TNA and their direction is the opposite of WWE's.
Killing time while the next event comes along while having segments with "celebrities" that don't add anything at all is not a new direction.
Right again. The celebrities receiving a combined 6 minutes of a 120 minute show, or 5%, certainly were the moments that showed the direction of the company. We clearly saw nothing in the Sheamus attack, the Hart Dynasty match, the Swagger segments or the Batista/Cena argument. Those segments were ads for popcorn I think.
