Shogunate posted:Just in regards to topic number seven and what the plan is for Triple H at Summerslam, honestly I think they're going to start on a Triple H / Ryback feud with Vickie wanting revenge. Funnily enough I'd be down for that; I don't care enough about Ryback to worry about his momentum and it would actually move a storyline forward.

TenGoda question: what would be your dream WWE PPV schedule? This being the WWE year, it would start at Wrestlemania, but other than that, you have free reign.

Question for Ten Count Where does TNA's horrendous scouting rank among their problems? WWE blew it on Austin Aries, but the list of guys TNA passed on is staggering. Notable indie guys signed to TNA under the Hogan/Bischoff regime: Austin Aries, Joey Ryan, Zema Ion, Kenny King WWE from the same period: Ambrose, Rollins, Cesaro, Ohno, Neville, Zayn, Callihan, del Sol

It's not all scouting, it's mostly a toxic reputation.

Their true developmental guys in OVW are all garbage and the only one I can think of that's done anything in the main roster is Jessie "Mr. Pectacular" Godderz

For the record I'm not even quite sure what my avatar is supposed to be. I just like having a face looking in scorn next to my posts. One that happens to be in front of Megadeth's Peace Sells record.

TNA also doesn't pay very well, and I think they preclude guys from taking a lot of indie dates. Most of those WWE guys you listed were really big indie guys and probably making good money doing it. I dont know if TNA would have given them better deals. (TNA actually had Chris Hero in 2003-04.)

My understanding was that TNA guys could book indie dates but they can't be iPPVs or future DVD releases, and considering that's how a lot of indies try to make money, it effectively neuters the talent.

So, it appears it went into effect over the course of the summer and is now being strictly enforced.

Nut Bunnies posted:It's not all scouting, it's mostly a toxic reputation. Yeah, and even from a pure financial perspective I doubt it would really be worth it for top indie guys like Steen who work a ton of different places to go to TNA now that they're very restrictive on outside bookings.

I personally find it hilarious that Chavo thinks he's so much of a draw that indie feds would only tape a show because he's on it. Dude's reaching Hogan levels of delusion now.

Jason from British Columbia rules. his stories are so out there but he's so good at telling them. also do you think Bryan knows that Skype exists, because god that Bryan and Vinny was hard to listen to because of how bad Vinny sounded.

Most of the WO site feels like it's held together with scotch tape, it took until 2013 for them to let you search newsletters by year. It's probably a miracle most things get recorded at all.

He has spent a lot of money on phone lines and hardware to record calls. Complaining about the sound quality of vacation shows will get him to test new setups and make regular shows sound bad for a week.

PSPCast: I know it's a way old show but I remember during the WWA Inception Review, MRT thought there was a match with the man dressed as a lady gimmick. On Synctube tonight we were watching the show and this copy has said match, even though the Wikipedia article doesn't even have it. http://youtu.be/ZVcW2sm04nc?t=1h55m17s Oddly, I didn't remember it being Ace Steel's old tag partner doing the act, I would've sworn it was Alan Funk.

You know, Punk shows up AOW from time to time when he feels like it. Austin's week would be a good time, if even to just do something silly like telling Austin to "Have a Stunning day, Steven." like he did on twitter.

Edit: As I posted this I got to the end of Sin Limite (and Mike's pronunciation at the start makes me think Dave came up with the name which is just DARLING) and they started bashing Bryan for not watching the NJPW shows. Classic.
