Pardon the delay, issues with Google (long story). This should be it, LOLTNA June '02-Lockdown '14 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FyAJrYhwvGoXai2aW86PTLTlg1cCGxp-hbgDaWfmBrw/edit?hl=en&forcehl=1 Also, MRT and anyone else considering a History of TNA project, would you include WWA as a sort of prologue? Jarrett did unify that belt with the NWA belt during the early TNA days.

How would you feel about me building a twitter bot that randomly tweeted out portions of that throughout the year. Because, "The Blue Meanie debuted, gave Francine a DDT, and was never seen again." is the most glorious sentence I've read in a long time.

For all of the bad things about the company they do seem to be cool with their old footage being online. hey while we're talking about TNA history here's a fun video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT8EFtj0ayA

Tharizdun posted:How would you feel about me building a twitter bot that randomly tweeted out portions of that throughout the year. Another excerpt: Disco Inferno: Jive Talkin' quote:Glenn Gilbertti pitched his idea for a talk show during his debut. He hyped it by putting himself over as the guy who pinned Joey Maggs and Barry Horowitz countless times. quote:Week One: Goldylocks made an appearance. Gilbertti called her a stupid bitch and demanded to see her tits, claiming those were all she was good for. After Goldy attacked him for being a misogynist gently caress, Paulina from Tough Enough debuted to be his bodyguard. She disappeared after the second episode of Jive Talkin. quote:Week Two: The Dupps made an appearance in which they introduced the Hard-10 Championship. They also brought their granddaddy's spit bowl --The Dupp Cupp--- on the program and said the person with the most points will take it home. This title came with the most complicated set of rules ever. The idea was to be the first to get ten points which was easily achieved with 10 chairshots; however, it could be achieved by "feeling up the ticket lady" and "involving an animal in the match" among other ridiculous things (see Rules of the Dupp Cupp). After everyone was bored to death by the Dupps' endless explanation, the first fight for the Dupp Cupp took place on Jive Talkin with Ed Ferrara, but it did little for the crowd and resulted in Ferrara suffering a concussion. Ed would later leave the company when they told him they couldn't pay his monthly cheque. The Dupps would also depart from the company soon after. The Hard-10 "matches" continued well into 2003 regardless. quote:Week Three: Gilbertti interviewed an unmasked Shark Boy pretending to be a Baldwin brother. This would be the last installment of the show and it would never be mentioned after this. Dario the Wop fucked around with this message at 02:34 on May 16, 2014 |

As I went through all of my TNA related files I found this: http://oversight-archive.waxman.house.gov/documents/20081231141402.pdf The TNA Drug and Alcohol Abuse policy. I sat there in disbelief for a second wondering how I could have this thing that didn't exist. A quick internet search showed it came from the Congressional investigation into wrestling following Benoit.

Kaz vs. Crazy Steve is without exaggeration the most annoying 5 minutes of wrestling I've ever seen. The never ending music, the commentary, and the "action" in the ring all work together to become totally infuriating.

See, I see that Sharkboy stuff, and I'm like, "At least TNA was fun to watch back then." Like it had the whole so bad it's good thing going. Kind of like all the crazy over-the-top Dungeon of Doom stuff from 1994-95 WCW. Now it's just boring.

flashy_mcflash posted:What specifically happened in 2014 that makes it not okay for black people to be heels again? Black people can only be faces because they're always the underdog fighting against the white patriarchy. It's all in this pamphlet. *Edit* I should note that I didn't even see the angle. I mean, I wouldn't put it past TNA try and do a black panthers gimmick or some poo poo, but reading the recap of last night's show, it just sounded like a bunch of dudes in a heel stable. If there was a heel stable of Japanese dudes, everyone wouldn't be crying racism. No one cries racism when a couple of Latin-Americans literally have an entrance where they are illegally crossing the US/Mexican boarder. People called that awesome like, a page ago. Let's not politicize this poo poo. Zack_Gochuck fucked around with this message at 13:50 on May 16, 2014 |

I don't think they've mentioned race at all thus far. Then again I also think that Legacy was a total ripoff of the Disciples of Apocalypse because it's a bunch of honkies in the same place.

Yeah, I mean, if it's not an actual part of the gimmick, I think it's actually pretty raciest to call them the Nation of Domination just because they're a bunch of black heels. Let's just all enjoy this terrible wrestling and stop getting butt hurt. *Edit* I just realized how Zack_Gochuck fucked around with this message at 14:53 on May 16, 2014 |

Shouldn't it read one PPV bonus or payment? I read it as 25% of what it cost to order a PPV, so the wrestler just digs 10 bucks out of his pocket and rolls another one.

I don't get why people don't make this criticism when 2+ white people get together? Why does it 'look bad'? I'll happily admit to being wrong if this does take a racial turn and I'm sure I'll end up doing so eventually because Vince Russo has the pen but I've seen no evidence of that in the programming so far or in the spoilers. It's also tremendously counterintuitive to think they'd rip off the Nation, an almost 20-year-old angle, and not Evolution, a 4 day old angle at the time of taping when that's been their MO since they started this Eric Young thing. flashy_mcflash fucked around with this message at 20:42 on May 16, 2014 |
