rovert posted:THIS GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP This reminds me of my favorite TNA anecdote. I think it's originally from the Board: "I went to Best Buy today to pick up the Against All Odds 2008 DVD with the tremendous Kurt Angle © vs Christian Cage TNA World Heavyweight Championship match. I had no intention of buying any WWE dvds since I had crossed the line in 2002 and never looked back, but they had the Rey Mysterio: Ultimate Fan Collection on sale and since I've started working out regularly, I figured it was worth it for the wrist bands. When I got up to the counter, the cashier said "Which of these things is not like the other?" and gave a sarcastic smirk while scanning my TNA disc. I asked him what the deal was and he talked about how TNA wasn't "legitimate." Uh, the TNA World Heavyweight Champion is a freaking Olympic Gold Medalist! That's as legitimate as it gets. WWE's champions are a white rapper, a zombie, and the brother of a zombie. He offered to void it if I wanted to and it'd be no problem. I declined his "polite" offer and I paid for my stuff and got out. How much is WWE paying Best Buy to try to discourage them from crossing the line?"

Don't ever read what Meltzer wrote about WCW. He said that their business wasn't strong, and of course he's been proven wrong over the years and oh wait.

TNA fans truly don't realize that advertisers won't pay top dollar to advertise on a show that can't even monetize their own audience. For example, UFC never got as big of ratings as Raw, but advertisers drat well knew that that audience were spending money on the payperviews. This makes UFC lucrative for advertisers. TNA gets 5000 people ordering their ppvs and house show attendance is abysmal. Advertisers will note this sort of thing.

Blast Fantasto posted:That guy "left" reddit a few weeks ago in a huff after people kept pointing out how only like half of what he says ended up being true. Then he came back for more attention, so gently caress him. There used to be some guy on reddit who claimed to have insider info for gambling reasons. Was Metsfan around at this time? I wouldn't be shocked if they're the same person.

MetsFan is actually Triple H IRL. This is just how he gets Redditors to pay for his ham.

Otto von Ruthless posted:It seems to me like he did have some kind of genuine insider knowledge, just it was really limited and he quickly ran through having actual things to say The reddit mods have confirmed that he did work for WWE but his position there was nowhere near close to what he implies. I'm guessing he was involved in production and still keeps in touch with a few people on that side.

I thought Scott Keith was the only one from the late 90s/early 2000s that was still around. Unless guys like Hyatte and Ask the Rick are still out there somewhere.

It’s low hanging fruit to be sure, but Scott Leith actually republished his “Hot Poker Up the rear end” rant for WWA. How he could look at that in 2018 and not be completely embarrassed is beyond me.

projecthalaxy posted:I am unfamiliar with this rant. Is it as bad as it sounds? What is it even about? Instead of star ratings for matches he uses hot pokers up the rear end for poor match quality. In this rant he threatens to shove hot pokers up Jeremy Borash’s rear end, and the worse the match is the more pokers he gets. It’s bad.

He updates his blog all the time. The only reason to go to his site is because he has a few guest recappers who are quite good - Maffew for WWECW reviews and LSisco for old WE/WCW tv recaps.

I think I’ve mentioned this before but I always thought Virgil was the toughest motherfucker on earth when I was a kid. They’d sometimes do angles where Dibiase would make his rival fight Virgil, and I just thought it was because Virgil was tough and never realized DiBiase was just using him.
