I remember watching some of the early weekly PPV TNA shows and after a while they just get boring. Imo the product peaked during the Spike TV era. And promptly burned down.

I remember when they got the Fox Sports show and I was like “I guess I’ll tune in” Then they took the title off Raven and onto JJ before the first show and I was like “I guess not”

So downloading all the Retro shows before my membership expires is making me reflect on my favorite jokes. One I always remember is them talking about ECW and its guys as the company was dead or close to dying. They pointed out "Paul would never lie to the fans but he'd lie his rear end off to the boys." It is sort of an interesting contrast with WCW - people in WCW had no faith in management so it was like the Boy Who Cried Wolf when the comany was sold. In ECW, the guys had such faith in Heyman that, and this was the joke from Bryan and Vinny, they might still to this day still think this is all just part of Paul's plan. At least Tommy Dreamer might still be thinking that. God, I really wish someday I could sit down and watch ECW. Without WWE edits which everyone assures me ruins everything.

Yeah, Dreamer planned to kill Heyman and then himself at WM17 I think as far as the story goes JR calling him to let him know they haven't forgotten about him changed his mind. It's kinda crazy that something basic like that prevented yet another pro-wrestling tragedy from happening. E: Here's an article about it https://www.sportscasting.com/tommy-dreamer-seriously-considered-killing-paul-heyman-and-then-himself-at-wrestlemania-17/

The good news is if you're fine with watching rips of 5th generation VHS ECW is out there, the full run of their TV, all the supershows they put out themselves on VHS, plus a surprising amount of house shows that RF Video filmed. Unfortunately we're talking proper  sites so I can't explicitly say where, but there can't be many explicitly wrestling based torrent sites around.

Gigantic breaking news from Dave on WOR this week in the middle of arguing with Bryan about Drew McIntyre's sword: "None of this is real."

Edward Mass posted:Raven had the title in-between the FSN days and the Spike TV days. He has a point though, them taking the belt off Raven the way they did was exceptionally dumb. Non televised, yet another rehash of the Montreal incident, and it didn't even result in JJ getting comeuppance, and Raven had a long, interminable feud with Zbyszko. Supposedly, the logic was they wanted the belt on JJ for the new TV deal, but why not do the title change on TV? Have your world title change on a new show, it might create buzz. Instead, Raven dropped it on a show with TNA guys for Scott D'Amore's BCW promotion. El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Aug 10, 2021 |

Nope, Deudrop hit the doll and there was a terrible effect of the doll winking at her (complete with sound effect) after which she sold like the doll had pulled out a knife. I would say wait for Observer Live because Bryan knows he isn’t going to be able to fully unload on it with Dave around.

Yeah, they say pretty clearly what it's for and it takes some serious mental gymnastics to interpret this as a shot at WWE's scripted promo. Even if the fact that they have to repeat lines was only on screen as text iirc.

Welcome to a Moment in History https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAgjkVwyrl8 The Bryan and Vinny show covering the announcement of Kurt Angle debuting in TNA with at length discussion over how he was fired from WWE because they feared he was about to die like Eddie, they had just signed Vince Russo again, and how abhorrent TNA instantly signed Angle when he was still in the midst of drug addiction.

the first time I ever heard someone pronounce it sward was on one of 50’s songs on GRODT where he said “swing swards like Conan” and i always thought that was weird

 Anyway, it's a shame that Mike's insufferability is waxing because these days especially a listenable daily audio recap of all the news would be a hot item.

Impact 2006 minor trip report A l;ot of this coverage is about a tag team I forgot existed, The Naturals, namely Bryan and Vinny discussing how loving generic, unmemorable and bad they were as a team This is a running joke throughout these recaps that the Naturals appear and they cant remember which is which despite having been in TNA for four years. It did lead to them explaining what may be one of the best botches ever - The Naturals had a tag team finisher of one Natural lifting a guy up for a powerbomb and the other Natural coming off the top rope with a missile dropkick hitting them in a dropkick/powerbomb. So they were doing this to Sonjay Dutt and the Natural holding Dutt up was far too far away from the corner, and rather than the guy on the top rope say "you need to be closer" he did a Brock Lesnar and jumped What happened was he missile dropkicked his own partner in the back of the head. The other Natural fell and Dutt landed on top of him. And then they pinned Dutt anyway for the three.  Long live The Naturals, I have literally no memory of you apart from your name.
