Velvet is pretty disliked on Mecca and the resuling posts are, presumably, the result of abstinence-only sex ed.

Count is probably not being serious on that one. He actually has a pretty good sense of humour about TNA's follies and is almost certainly sarcastic. He still drinks the Kool-Aid, but usually stops at one cup instead of sticking his whole head in the punchbowl like Nom or PhenomAJJones

If NXT can't be considered a separate promotion from WWE, does the same apply to LU and AAA?

E: Hell, LU doesn't even have a touring schedule.

If I had to vote now, I'd give LU my vote for best weekly television series for 2015 but I wouldn't put them on my ballot for best promotion because it is really just a TV show.

It's not just an AAA tv show though. There's obvious overlap in talent and one of the Roldans is involved in it's production, but there's definitely US TV people involved in production and creative as well. It's more of a partnership than a AAA brand.

I will say that NXT isn't just a separate brand like Raw and Smackdown used to be. NXT is treated separately and their creative team is different, almost like the NJPW/NOAH relationship, and until recently was never mentioned unless someone got called up or they were hyping a Takeover (and even that's pretty recent too). Besides, a bunch of wrestling websites can make up whatever rules they want for what's "official". Nobody's necessarily wrong there. I don't know why it matters to some wrestlenerds when other wrestlenerds want to call it a different product. It's just one more goofy-rear end semantic to complain about.

Smackdown and Raw used to have different creative teams, ran on different tours, even had separate PPVs. Paul Heyman got in poo poo cause he listened in to a Raw creative team meeting once I think haha.

The truth of this is even better. He actually wasn't listening in when they thought he was, but he had done so on every other single conference call they had before that.

I don't really see what's the big deal. Maybe because I grew up in a country where we all insult each other almost everyday and call each other a lot of different names, and we don't take it so serious. I'm regularly called racist names and my family will do the same thing to blacks, coloureds, Asians and Indians.

Chris Regal Moderator
Coloureds? Are those the little blue people who live in caves?

Woodland Critters
Brown people.

Chris Regal Moderator
You mean like Greeks and Italians?

Woodland Critters
No, like the colour of Obama's skin.

Chris Regal Moderator
Oh....so the coloureds are light-skinned blacks?

Woodland Critters
Yes, but we don't call them light-skinned blacks or just blacks. Just coloureds.

Chris Regal Moderator
Well, that's very thoughtful of you guys.

And then later in the discussion:

Chris Regal Moderator
You have to consider that he lives in South Africa. Those light-skinned blacks are an invasive species to them.

Hey just so everybody knows, and it might seem weird to you since it's not 1955, but 'Coloured' is one of the five official racial groups of South Africa when they take the census. That being said, I have no idea where that last line about invasive species comes from.

Because a bunch of white Dutch settlers moved there and then retroactively claimed all of South Africa was empty when they got there, thus making the Black South Africans the immigrants in loving Africa.

It's what racists say to excuse South African racism.
