What I don't understand is how anyone who likes Rodriguez would think LU's plots are too trashy.

Like I get there are still wrestling fans who don't like goofy stories and weird inhuman characters for some reason, but this is a channel that plays Lucio Fulci movies on a regular basis.

quote:

If James Storm is doing what I think he is doing. He will revolutionize wrestling the same way Kevin Nash and Hall did with their contracts.

If I were in James Storm's Place. I would make it so he a group of people had contracts that allowed inter-promotional matches.

It has to be on a small scale. This wouldn't work if everyone could do it.

And it shouldn't ever go past NXT.

This would boost NXT. This would boost Indies and get peoples names out there. It wouldn't be competition. It would be a Win Win for everyone involved.

NXT is its own Brand. Remember that.

quote:

He didnt want Hall and Nash to leave either. Rating are low. People want dream matches. People want invasions from other shows, Maybe WWE should invade other shows.

It would make wrestling really interesting again. Tuning into different shows just to see whats going to happen.

Some storylines continuing on through multiple promotions.

Thats the future and its inevitable. NXT is already working with NJPW. We all know whos in NJPW.

Now Storm is on NXT, WHILE working with TNA.

He may not like it. But hes sure testing the waters.

And once he feels comfortable, there will be a wrestling explosion like it was in the 90's.

Its happening. And im excited.

This does not deserve to be on the channel owned by Robert 'Shark Boy & Lava Girl, Numerous Spy Kid Movies, Once Upon A Time In Mexico, Machete' Rodriquez.

She's also repeatedly beaten up men, and once held off three of them trying to attack her.

And yes, Marty the Moth spinning her into a cocoon so he can introduce her to his sister in fact rules.

the reason John Cena has to call his spots so loudly is because you can't hear yourself over the crowd reaction to a Big Match John fight

A lot of the talking stuff in Botchamania I would never understand if he didn't put words on the screen, even if it was pointed out they were saying something.

The endings on Botchamania recently are rarely funny but they're also about a third of the run time.

Popular culture has passed you by.
I like it when wrestlers noticeably call spots. As long as it's not every wrestler calling every spot like they want to call their momma, it's a fun reminder of something everybody is aware of anyway, i.e. wrestling is fake.

The first time I ever heard a wrestler call a spot was in 1999 when Ken Shamrock roared "SLAP ME" at Ryan Shamrock

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
It depends on the match. Dolph Ziggler gets some credit for rescuing the IC match at Elimination Chamber from Mark Henry, but it was still a bad match.

Anyway, have an article about how for women's wrestling to be taken seriously, the NXT Divas need to stop crying after winning.

I'm just gonna leave this here. No reason:
