WTF? TNA just pulled a remake of the Montreal screw job!

[Hulkamaniac]

No your the nimrod my friend. Just by making a few shots at WWE is not going to mean anything if their putting out out a sub par product. They have to be hitting on all cylinders because they don't have even half of the audience the WWE has even if WWE has a crappy product right now.

How is it subpar? THese shows have been fucking awesome since Hogan and Bischoff arrived. Ratings back it up. People are watching. More people then watched the allegedly "superior" product that people were watching on 1/3 and prior. Reviews for the Impacts are much more positive than they used to be. Despite the protestations of a loud minority, TNA is moving in a VERY positive direction.

 

[jayteeERA]

I want to address all the people on here who are proud wrestling fans and didn't enjoy what TNA gave them tonight. GET A LIFE! Vince can copy anything and everything and its cool. Hogan seems like the the scum of the earth. You guys were lucky to see the montreal screwjob part 5. I'm glad it wasn't WWE this time. Hogan & Bishoff was smart. It came out of nowhere. I took TNA for granted, b4 the main event came on I turned the channel & watched something else. I come on here reading about a montreal screwjob and I wish I could of went back into time and record it, which I will do for now on.

I was watching WWE for years. WWE was beating TNA for years. Now Hogan & Bishoff came in and started back where WCW ended. TNA have no circus entertainment, no migets, & women who actually wrestle. And you all have the nerve to complain. Love or Hate the new TNA you all will watch it next week. So chill out stop whinning bout it and just see what happens next.

 

[wolvdog316]

"The old guys are there to push the new guys and to promote the product. Without them TNA would have never EVER EVER EVER gotten anywhere. They're advertisments with legs. Managers. Backstage advisors. Nothing more than that."

Really? Did you just really type that and believed the words written?

How is Nastys vs Dudleys helping younger talent? Answer me that

How is Val Venus beating Daniels on a PPV helping young talent?

How is an injury prone Mr Anderson beating TNAs hardcore legend with brass knucks helping young talent?

How is Impact ending with a feud that was great 12 years ago helping young talent?

Oh wait. Beer money DID beat the Band. So I guess you got me there

 

[Schizophrenic]

How is Nastys vs Dudleys helping younger talent? Answer me that

That's simply for nostalgia and a nasty brawl that is going to end up happening. To quote a favorite movie, "there will be blood" and it will be delicious.

How is Val Venus beating Daniels on a PPV helping young talent?

First off Daniels & Morely are the same age and Daniels has actually been wrestling longer. To answer, now Daniels is in a feud with a known wrestler whom Im sure he will most likely go over and win the feud.

How is an injury prone Mr Anderson beating TNAs hardcore legend with brass knucks helping young talent?

Once again the heel beat the face by cheating, therefore the face must get revenge. Same as above, Abyss faces a star in Anderson and will give him exposure.

How is Impact ending with a feud that was great 12 years ago helping young talent?

It's pushing Angle & Styles as the big pro and antagonist of the brand.

Oh wait. Beer money DID beat the Band. So I guess you got me there

Yup.!


Jeez fans nowadays need everything given to them and know everything ahead of time. I like being surprised and intrigued on how something will end. It's like knowing what's going to happen at the end of a summer blockbuster. Takes all the fun out of it. But then again we are adults now and that means we can no have fun!....or so it seems on this board.

 

[wolvdog316]

LOL you didn't answer a single question. Answer then. HOW are those scenarios helping TNA and the younger talent. Who gives a fuck about Nostalgia? TNA is supposed to be trying to give us a different product. You think a brawl between 4 out of shape wrestlers is helping TNA?

Daniels ,just a month before, was good enough to be the #1 Contender for the #1 belt in TNA. Now he can't beat a WWE reject jobber on a PPV. Enough said

And I don't care if Mr Anderson beat Abyss by cheating. Abyss is TNA, Ken isnt. And you don't take out your hardcore icon with a pair of brass knucks. This isn't the 80's.

Styles was good enough to beat Angle on his own, but he needs Flair why? He needs to screw angle over why? He can beat him. Why screw him over. Besides, AJ was supposed to be the face of TNA. Can't have a heel as a face of a company and expect it to succeed, unless they first succeeded as a face.

And you still got 1 right, Beer Mone did beat the Band. Of course, they needed Hall to attack a "fan" and the ref being distracted to do it, but they did beat them

 

[Schizophrenic]

God you are one of those fans who has to bitch and is never satisfied. I will tell you what I tell all of them..if you think you can do better, start a promotion and fucking do it or else stop bitching and making it seem like you can do better. You are a fan and that's it. You are no better than anyone here so the attitude needs to go.

LOL you didn't answer a single question. Answer then. HOW are those scenarios helping TNA and the younger talent. Who gives a fuck about Nostalgia? TNA is supposed to be trying to give us a different product. You think a brawl between 4 out of shape wrestlers is helping TNA?

I actually answered all your questions. Just because you didn't like the answers or think Im wrong (know what they say about oppinions) doesn't mean I didn't answer them. Maybe they are allowed to have a match that doesn't need to elevate anyone. Or perhaps they are having hte Dudleyz go over in a violent blood bath so they are the "baddest of the bad" which will elevate the team that bloodies them up and takes them out.

Daniels ,just a month before, was good enough to be the #1 Contender for the #1 belt in TNA. Now he can't beat a WWE reject jobber on a PPV. Enough said

Far from sir. It's simple he took Morely lightly and didn't think he would be as good as he was. Simple as that....enough said. (Gotta think kayfabe here son because after all, wrestling is entertainment and, i hate this word, fake)

And I don't care if Mr Anderson beat Abyss by cheating. Abyss is TNA, Ken isnt. And you don't take out your hardcore icon with a pair of brass knucks. This isn't the 80's.

He caught him off guard. And back in Ayss' day of being the silent monster, that would have been ridiculous. Now Abyss is the teddy bear with a mean streak. He has been humanized and like any other human, a knucks shot to the jaw means lights out....I'd be glad to demonstrate.

Styles was good enough to beat Angle on his own, but he needs Flair why? He needs to screw angle over why? He can beat him. Why screw him over. Besides, AJ was supposed to be the face of TNA. Can't have a heel as a face of a company and expect it to succeed, unless they first succeeded as a face.

He needs to have Flair because the last times they wrestled he beat him but not by much. He knew Angle had his number this time and needed something else. That "something else" just happened to be Ric Flair and his mentoring. Rock was a heel and he was the face of a company. Hell RIC FLAIR was the face of the NWA and he was the best heel. Will this repeat with Styles? WHo knows but that is what they are going for.

And you still got 1 right, Beer Mone did beat the Band. Of course, they needed Hall to attack a "fan" and the ref being distracted to do it, but they did beat them

Now they have a reason to have the rematch and BMI can beat them clean, thus (say it with me kiddos) helping to elevate Beer Money.

 

[Hulkamaniac]

LOL you didn't answer a single question. Answer then. HOW are those scenarios helping TNA and the younger talent. Who gives a fuck about Nostalgia? TNA is supposed to be trying to give us a different product. You think a brawl between 4 out of shape wrestlers is helping TNA?

If they're over, it doesn't matter who...and guess what, all 4 of those fat guys (who would annihilate you in real life) got reactions from the crowd.

Daniels ,just a month before, was good enough to be the #1 Contender for the #1 belt in TNA. Now he can't beat a WWE reject jobber on a PPV. Enough said

NOw you're completely changing your argument because you realize you are an idiot about Daniels being "younger". ANd who cares? Morley is a bigger star in the wrestling industry then Daniels is. Deal with it. You can't have every new guy brought in and jobbing, or else their losses mean NOTHING.

And I don't care if Mr Anderson beat Abyss by cheating. Abyss is TNA, Ken isnt. And you don't take out your hardcore icon with a pair of brass knucks. This isn't the 80's.

Actually, Anderson is now also TNA...and again, he's a bigger star then Abyss. He's a guy the WWE was ready to put in the Main Event picture, he's that kind of over. Abyss, meanwhile, is a walking gimmick match.

Styles was good enough to beat Angle on his own, but he needs Flair why? He needs to screw angle over why? He can beat him. Why screw him over. Besides, AJ was supposed to be the face of TNA. Can't have a heel as a face of a company and expect it to succeed, unless they first succeeded as a face.

Because not every match is the fucking same. Are you serious? Angle and Styles are supposed to be VERY good. Styles even said on his Impact promo BEFORE he turned that on another night, ANgle could have beaten him. So you see, because you beat someone once doesn't mean you'll beat them again. And so, you get worried for your title, and the title means everything to you, and so you cheat to keep it.

And you still got 1 right, Beer Mone did beat the Band. Of course, they needed Hall to attack a "fan" and the ref being distracted to do it, but they did beat them

So, you're complaining that a guy not involved in the match did something outside the ring, and then Nash got pinned clean. It's not like Hall came in and cost his boys the match. Yeesh.

 

[jman316]

I read a few post saying that it was a jab at wwe, I just don't think that it was. I sat there and watched it and that thought didn't enter my mind. I really wish they wouldn't of done that, to the causal wrestling fan it would appear to them as lazy and cheap. Now I will back that up a bit, my two cousin and their wife's are what I would say are the causal fan of wrestling, we watched impact and when it happened all 4 of them said that-that was bs, lazy and cheap writing. I agreed with them, it was. I also read someone write something about getting rid of the wwe fans that are watching cause all we do is bitch, ok if that happens tna will go back to 1.0 ratings and never get over, how do you think wcw got big, wwf fans jumped over to them. Last I just wish tna would stop talking about wwe, I have been watching it for awhile and wwe is referred to way to much. wcw did the same thing and it was unnecessary then as well as now. I think the whole were going to war with the wwe is just played out, if you want to shake things up just have Eric do what he did in wcw sit down and come up with something that has never been done. Now pick part my post, call me a wwe fan and whatever I don't care!

 

[wolvdog316]

"Rock was a heel and he was the face of a company. Hell RIC FLAIR was the face of the NWA and he was the best heel. Will this repeat with Styles? WHo knows but that is what they are going for."

Rock was the face of WWE while Stone Cold chased him. Think it's kinda odd Austin almost ALWAYS beat Rock and held the title?

I love Ric Flair, but compare NWA and WWF with Hogan during the 80's. It's no contest.

And your right, Anderson WAS fixing to be WWE's next big thing. Until he failed a piss test, until he couldn't stay healthy, until he almost put Orton out of wrestling for a while. Look, I'm the biggest Kennedy fan ever, but just like my Rockets and Yao Ming, it doesn't matter HOW good you are if you can't stay healthy. So why have him come in and beat your supposed hardcore legend with a pair of shitty knucks? Have him do a roll up, hold the rope. That's cheating and it doesn't make Abyss look weak.

And about Daniels and Val Venus, if Daniels had not just went after the TNA title a month before, this would be a moot point. But since he did, he's top talent right? And top talent don't lose to jobbers right? Right. So by your reasoning, Val Venus SHOULD have a title shot sometime soon. Right? Right.

And Kennedy is NOT TNA. He's a employee of TNA because WWE booted him. Abyss IS TNA. Been there longer, seen TNA grow, has an actually stake in what happens in TNA.

And the AJ Styles angle makes NO sense. If you were good enough last week, the week before, and the month before, you are good enough today, or tomorrow, or next month. If we are using the "He wants to keep it" excuse, then everyone would be heels. It has to make sense. Why would AJ need Flairs help? He is billed as one of the best professional wrestlers in the world. The modern day HBK. So why does he need Flair?

All top heel turns happen because faces get stale, the talent aren't drawing like they used to, and need to make a comeback. Austin's heel turn. Wasn't great, but made sense. He NEEDED the WWE title once more. Hogans heel turn, made sense. He NEEDED to be the top dog again, and to do that he needed to recruit the best. HHH heel turn, he wanted to be taken seriously, he wanted a chance to fight for the belt. Rocks heel turn, he was tired of busting his ass for the fans to not give a fuck.

Notice NONE of those heel turns happened with them being #1 guy in the company, and none of them had the strap when they turned. There's a reason for that.

Because when your the best in your promotion, when you are the champion, it's hard to say "I need to cheat to be great", when your already great. Fans don't buy it. And hence, the ratings don't improve. Just like the Joe heel turn. Why did he turn? Why would anybody just hand over a world title? It didn't make sense, the fans hated it, and Joe barely gets TV time these days.

"Far from sir. It's simple he took Morely lightly and didn't think he would be as good as he was. Simple as that....enough said. (Gotta think kayfabe here son because after all, wrestling is entertainment and, i hate this word, fake)"

Ok then Kayfabe, Beer Money should have beaten the Band in about 5 seconds. Two young studs, up and comers, would not need more than a minute max to beat up a hobbled gray haired man who can barely walk. Same thing with WWE and Sheman. Cena took him lightly yadda yadda. Well, the fans can't accept a guy that beat Cena so easily when Cena had beaten everybody under the sun twice. You can't just pick certain moments to be kayfabe and expect casual fans to buy it. Doesn't work like that

 

[Michael_Page]

I am loving this. All it was is a poke at WWE for having a Vince Mcmahon vs Bret Hart feud. Im hearing people saying how it was a rip-off and other stuff but guess what it worked. There is about 9 pages of comments talking about this so obviously it worked.Theres an old saying "Theres no such thing as bad publicity".
For every single person who says TNA sucks your still talking about TNA.So i call this a sucess.
TNA-1
TNA Haters-0

 

[Hulkamaniac]

And Kennedy is NOT TNA. He's a employee of TNA because WWE booted him. Abyss IS TNA. Been there longer, seen TNA grow, has an actually stake in what happens in TNA.

WHo cares who's been there longer? Are you serious? Kennedy has just as much stake in the company as Abyss. He's on a year long contract right now. being there longer doesn't mean you should just automatically win.

And the AJ Styles angle makes NO sense. If you were good enough last week, the week before, and the month before, you are good enough today, or tomorrow, or next month. If we are using the "He wants to keep it" excuse, then everyone would be heels. It has to make sense. Why would AJ need Flairs help? He is billed as one of the best professional wrestlers in the world. The modern day HBK. So why does he need Flair?

Because Flair is an icon, and some people think he's the greatest wrestler of all time. Is it really hard for you to understand why, kayfabe, a wrestler would want to learn from him?

 

[Schizophrenic]

Rock was the face of WWE while Stone Cold chased him. Think it's kinda odd Austin almost ALWAYS beat Rock and held the title?
I love Ric Flair, but compare NWA and WWF with Hogan during the 80's. It's no contest.

*looks around* I didn't mention Hogan in the 80's. At all in fact. I think you are hearing faces mate. And yeah it was a contest and it's been unanimously agreed on that WWF was bigger, but NWA was where the wrestling was at.

And your right, Anderson WAS fixing to be WWE's next big thing. Until he failed a piss test, until he couldn't stay healthy, until he almost put Orton out of wrestling for a while. Look, I'm the biggest Kennedy fan ever, but just like my Rockets and Yao Ming, it doesn't matter HOW good you are if you can't stay healthy. So why have him come in and beat your supposed hardcore legend with a pair of shitty knucks? Have him do a roll up, hold the rope. That's cheating and it doesn't make Abyss look weak.

If you are a Kennedy fan then you should know that Randy was the one who hurt Kennedy....twice. He dropped Orton cause they were wrestling in basketball jerseys (Nuggets represent). Ever fealt one? They are slippery, two of those on top of each other, even more slippery. That was WwE's bad not Ken's. It didn't make Abyss look weak. He got knockout out by a pair of knucks. If you got hit in a fight with them would that make you look week or would it make the other guy look chicken shit?

And about Daniels and Val Venus, if Daniels had not just went after the TNA title a month before, this would be a moot point. But since he did, he's top talent right? And top talent don't lose to jobbers right? Right. So by your reasoning, Val Venus SHOULD have a title shot sometime soon. Right? Right.

Just because he went after the top title does not make him a top talent. Hell Kwee Wee (if you remember) went after the WCW title in a match. Does that make him top talent. In ALL Seriousness. Al Snow was given a few shots. Is he top talent? And if Val did have a shot it would be to AJ's favor cause here is a guy that the ladies love and the newer fans know and would be willing to cheer. When AJ beats him (by cheating or something of the sort) AJ will look like a heel more.

And Kennedy is NOT TNA. He's a employee of TNA because WWE booted him. Abyss IS TNA. Been there longer, seen TNA grow, has an actually stake in what happens in TNA.

And the AJ Styles angle makes NO sense. If you were good enough last week, the week before, and the month before, you are good enough today, or tomorrow, or next month. If we are using the "He wants to keep it" excuse, then everyone would be heels. It has to make sense. Why would AJ need Flairs help? He is billed as one of the best professional wrestlers in the world. The modern day HBK. So why does he need Flair?

You are not going to beat the same person everytime. A real sport proves this. Teams beat each other and lose to each other all the time. Why should wrestling be any different? AJ needs Flair because he is losing faith in himself. Goes back to before BFG when he said he was losing confidence. It's an old addage. It's one thing to win it, it's another to keep it. Hell Shawn needed Hunter and Chyna for a while, why can't AJ have someone.

Notice NONE of those heel turns happened with them being #1 guy in the company, and none of them had the strap when they turned. There's a reason for that.

God forbid TNA try something different. You were just complaining that they never do and when they try somethng different you still complain. Dear god pick a side!

Ok then Kayfabe, Beer Money should have beaten the Band in about 5 seconds. Two young studs, up and comers, would not need more than a minute max to beat up a hobbled gray haired man who can barely walk. Same thing with WWE and Sheman. Cena took him lightly yadda yadda. Well, the fans can't accept a guy that beat Cena so easily when Cena had beaten everybody under the sun twice. You can't just pick certain moments to be kayfabe and except casual fans to buy it. Doesn't work like that

Is Nash stronger and hit harder than those two? Probably. Is Pac quicker, without a doubt. If you had watched the match you would see that Nash did alot of punching. Pac did a lot of running and quick offense. That's what stopped BMI from winning in five seconds. That and the fact that if they did, you would not stand up and be happy you would think THAT's ridiculous and demand your money back. You guys can't have it both ways.

 

[Zeven_Zion]

How is Nastys vs Dudleys helping younger talent? Answer me that

How is Val Venus beating Daniels on a PPV helping young talent?

How is an injury prone Mr Anderson beating TNAs hardcore legend with brass knucks helping young talent?

How is Impact ending with a feud that was great 12 years ago helping young talent?

Oh wait. Beer money DID beat the Band. So I guess you got me there

Venis beating Daniels? Well there's this little thing called STORYLINE. And in that storyline they win some - they lose some. Until the Storyline is over nothing can be said.

Mr.Anderson IS A YOUNG TALENT YA FREAK!

Excise me, who was in the middle of the "Orlando Screwjob"? What? Who? AJ Styles? Did it help him to be a better heel, more hated one? I'm sorry? Is he not "younger Talent"?

 

[Zeven_Zion]

And hey, since so many people hate TNA for what it did even though that same "IMPACT!" was one of the most entertaining ones in months, how about we talk about the other company? WWE?

What have -they- done? NOTHING. I don't see 90 pages in a forum about the way they screwed up the ORIGINAL Screw Job after 12 years. I don't see people whining about Hornswoggle CONSTANTLY interfering and ruining potentially good matches.

I respect TNA for what they did. Why? - NOBODY SAW IT COMING! I'm a die-hard wrestling fan and I like to be shocked. I like to NOT know what's going to happen and to be kept on my toes, wondering, pondering and expecting. TNA creates that feeling, WWE does not. TNA took a little shot at WWE whether anyone believes it or not.

Besides, what are you people so pissed off about? They used their Screwjob..okay...AND? 1% of the show was aparently bad for you, how about the rest of it? How about the GREAT wrestling they offered, how about the good segments they did? Everyone seems to forget about it all of a sudden.

Tell you what, you didn't like the Screwjob thing - don't watch next week. However, we all know you will because deep down you KIND OF want to see what'll happen.

 

[I'll Make Your Ankle Hurt]

It's a deliberate work to play up to the fact that a lot of people think it's WCW III or WWE 2.0. Do you really think they would so blatantly rip off an angle their competitor is doing right now? Please, think about it before everyone comes in panicking.

 

[KnowBuddy]

that guy is sensitive... wow. he cross'd the line... its a work, yes right now both hogan/eric are makin vince's name more powerful, i believe in the minds of jarrett, hogan,eric,ricflair,mickfoley,etc... they are gonna keep us amp'd up...

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

All I can say after watching Impact is that Hogan and company better have something good up their sleeve for this one. I hope this is just going to be a small part of the feud between AJ and Angle. I hope it turns out that it was just AJ and Flair that paid off Hebner to call for the bell. Hogan should really just have a little segment with Angle, letting him know that it was not him that screwed him. THEN we find out that it was Flair/Styles who paid Hebner, not Hogan/Bischoff.

I really hope Hogan begins to limit his time on tv. Perception is reality, and I am hearing a lot of people getting upset that he is centering so much of the show around him. I have no problem with him doing that right now, but eventually, he needs to take a step back and promote TNA's guys, not himself. Would I have went with the Montreal thing? No, but I have NO CLUE where this is going yet, so I am not going to complain until it is over. I didn't like how it was done, being a complete replica of Hart/McMahon. That was just unoriginal and stupid. Do I mind that there is a screw job angle going? No, I just wish they would have been a little more subtle with it.

Hogan has always been out for himself, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that he is going to involve himself, on screen, in just about everything that goes on. He is an ego mania, and finds himself far more relevant with todays fans than he should. I hope he doesn't sink this company. But I will say this, he is very good at getting people to pay attention.

I predict when it is all said and done, Hogan probably won't add much in terms of quality to the show, but he will make it bigger. By the end of Hogans run in TNA, they will travel a little more, improve upon that tiny ass studio they work in, and more people will be watching (which was the ultimate goal). After Hogan gets it to be big time, he should leave and let someone else take over. He WILL get stale, and in the minds of a lot of people (mostly idiots who cannot be patient), he already is.

And for the love of Christ, why in the HELL are the Nasty Boys wrestling, and even worse than that, actually winning a match. I don't mind bringing in old guys (Hall/Waltman can be entertaining, Val Venis can at least wrestle), but the Nasty Boys?? They sucked in their prime (hated the fact they had feuds with tag teams like the Hart Foundation and L.O.D.), and have only gotten fatter, slower, and less entertaining. I was hoping they would be around for a few weeks, maybe have a stupid back lot brawl with the Dudleyz, but never did I expect to see them in an actual match. Get them out of there, and send that fat ass Bubba the Love Sponge out with them.

 

[Jordan-Dixon]

The ending of the match was horrid. It would have actually been a tad believable if it was live not taped. It was a carbon copy of montreal with the pissing off, the naming of the rival company and spitting in the face of the guy in charge.

Absolute garbage !!!

 

[RatedCharisma59]

I dont even know how tna fans are deffending this bullshit ! ! ! im just a wrestling fan i love wrestling and iv been actually liking alot of what tna has being doing recently, i enjoyed the ppv and impact was decent last night untill it happened !!! a screw job and not a very good one at that, fair nuff ppl are saying they were jus mocking the wwe with kurt spitting on hogan like bret did on vince but come on this is just stupid ! yeah it gets people talking so what we are not speaking about it in a good way we are saying it sucked !!! so even if ppl who dnt watch tna read this they will just think, ah that sounds lame im not gana bother watching that ! ! ! the orlando screw job makes no sense to me at all it was stupid booking ! and ppl can say it gains more heel heat for aj but theres a million other things he could av done with smarter booking to gain more heat ! and the fans werre more booing at the situation probably not beliving what they were seeing ! ! ! stupid move tna i dnt care what u tna bum suckers say this is a stupid move ! ! ! i fort val venis going over daniels was bad but then this !!

 

["The Game" HHH]

WOW!! ,

I've just seen this, and the funniest thing is it was absolute CRAP!!

I can't believe they copied this from the WWE, that just shows. TNA writers are 'Novices' and Amatures.

A failed storyline for a failing company.

Well, it got you to go online and make a forum post about it, so obviously it didn't fail. You're reacting to it, so it's working.

And there were several differences in the way it was done, as compared to the screwjob of 97, but I guess the blind Russo-Bischoff-Hogan hatred makes a lot of people disregard those differences.

How about instead of looking at how this was a "rip-off", we'd try to discuss how this will be used to further the Angle/AJ&Flair storyline, and how it affects the arching storyline of "TNA w/ Hogan&Bisch at the helm"?

 

[andymcg]

Well all i can say is the intention for this angle was to get people talking about TNA and well .... it is ?

Am sure when this was brought up, Hogan/Bischoff/Russos intentions were to get everyone talking about "did you see what TNA just done?" , "have you seen that garbage TNA just pulled of with the screwjob?" etc , etc , etc.

weather or not people think its worked good, or its brutal, or should never have been done, people are talking about it and any body talking about your business usually pans out good. Sure some people may re-act and think screw TNA, but then when they go talking other people will tune in to see what everyones so mad about.

The intention was to make people talk, and with 10 pages of reply's on this forum alone in less than 1 day, it certainly is working.

 

[Shadow]

I just have a few things to add here.

I have read every reply in all 10 pages, and while most people have valid points in favor of TNA or the WWE, the majority of the responses by a select few members who believe they are superior in some way are simply mindless.

For starters, when making your little 5000 word rebuttals, punctuation and grammar is key to winning your argument. This is especially important for you Schizophrenic. Your nonsensical, sometimes comedic and ridiculously threatening replies involving "showing you how brass knuckles work" honestly come across as juvenile. Ever heard of spell check? Or perhaps actually reading the garbage you continuously post?

In closing, to remain on topic, which seems to be impossible to do with all the forum scholars and "wrestling experts" who force their opinions on the rest of us casual readers, with their ridiculously long replies....

Rehashing this angle was simply ******ed.

 

[GeminiJ13]

Its been said that with Bischoff "Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see". And there is no way Hogan and Bisch are dumb enough to legitely screw Kurt Angle. If they were that stupid then Kurt would go back to WWE, since he is one of the best pure wrestlers in the business. The screwjob itself sucked, and the spitting in the face obviously unoriginal, but I thought Kurt did a hell of a job mustering up heat. This was interesting, but I know it was a work, so therefore , its another bad creative move by Eric Bischoff. This is why WcW went under and its only a matter of time before the NWO comes back for a 3rd run. It would suck having to answer to Bischoff knowing that he puts out a shitty, beat up, watered down WCW versions of match endings.

Or how about having Bischoff come out at the end of the show with fake blood on his face (Vince would have actually bled) to tell Foley he is fired. Tease that Angle is going to WWE then fire Mick Foley. Are they trying to make ppl change the channel or what? Angle and Foley are half the reason I put myself thru the agony of watching TNA. Hogan is quickly gonna change everything that TNA set out to be (changed the ring to 4 sided) and make everything old and boring. The Nasty Boys?? Are you fucking serious?? Umaga is in better shape than Knobs, and Umaga's dead! You have to care more about wrestling than you do putting on a movie infront of a live audience. People tune in to watch wrestling and have to put up with the soap opera shit in the mean time. Bischoff is gonna make TNA into one of his VH1 Shows if Hogan lets him.

 

[GetsHeat]

This isn't going to get AJ any heat.. not just because the impact zone is full of smarks who will cheer for AJ even if he punched their pet and shit on their living room carpet. It's just going to get Hogan more heat which if he's making a heel turn already it's the wrong way to do and there were plenty of better ways. (Afterall, the crowd was chanting "Thank you Angle" after spitting on Hogan)

And honestly if they are so hell bent on taking a shot at WWE, don't do it at the expense of the program.. maybe do it in a midcarder match but not the heavyweight title match and your main event.. or honestly don't do it at all. Hire a midget dressed as a leprechaun and have him meddle around for most of the show and then have him beat down by Hogan. That would be a shot I think just about anyone would like.
