I have a feeling this is more along the lines of that promotion in Flordia the Wilpon family was gonna start before they ran out of money and had to sell the Mets. In so much as JJ doesn't have the juice to get this up and going, but is delusional enough to THINK he does.

Great White Hope posted:I think the story he told was that his wife had to teach in Georgia, so he wasn't willing to live in Ohio while also making way less money than he could make otherwise. Which makes sense, but it makes the whole "WWE wasn't interested" thing horseshit. They were interested, just on their terms. I can't imagine there are many Indy guys WWE would break the bank for.

NotQuiteQuentin posted:Yeah, and there is nothing in my opinion that dissuades me from my point. But if "KATSUYORI SHIBATA AND SHINSUKE NAKAMURA ARE HAVING THEMSELVES A SLOBBERKNOCKER. LOOK AT MISSUS NAKAMURA'S BABY BOY GO!" is what you want, sure thing bro. Just a guess, but I suspect Jim's gonna dial back the cutesy country sayings since I'm pretty sure he was told to play that crap up by Vince. Also, JR at his most hackneyed is still better than Tenay. Tenay is fine as a 3rd guy educating unfamiliar fans, and nothing more. He got the TNA job because he was available.

Thauros posted:Yeah, the main blurriness game from the gradual turn of Nakamura and Okada's stable CHAOS. Over a two year period they gradually turned from heel to tweener and then essentially face when the last two heel members defected to the heel groups (Yujiro to Bullet Club and Iizuka to Suzuki-gun). And perhaps more importantly, the matches don't suffer from that dynamic. WWE matches where it's heel vs heel or face vs face have a tendency to be unremarkable. Yet Minoru Suzuki vs AJ Styles was heel vs heel (although maybe not from the perspective of a Japanese fan). And it might well be MOTY.

I remember reading a report from WON or PWT that said that West had read a large chunk of negative feedback TNA was getting for their PPV's, and determined that some of them HAD to be plants. Now, if Russo said this, I'd chalk it up to ego. But with West, I feel like it was genuine, childlike enthusiasm for the product. The guy quite frankly deserves better than TNA.

masato tatanka posted:people bought an MMA PPV with 0.25 names on it because JR & Chael Sonnen did play-by-play for it, don't know how many buys it got but there was certainly interest generated on that alone. MMA has a greater existing cache with PPV buyers than wrestling does right now.

I mean, the guys listed are mostly pretty good, although the Dudleys are kinda done. So at least Jeff isn't calling on Dusty Rhodes to do anything important (although that'd be kind hard, he's under WWE contract).

If Jarrett just uses Bischoff as an on screen authority guy and has him help with TV connections, it'll be fine.

Given Jeff and his father's history in Memphis, I'm a bit surprised he hasn't tried to just start back with Memphis wrestling. If he got the same talent list and a few special guests, plus some vets who could stand to stick around, he 'd have a better chance of succeeding (regionally, anyways) than he does with them. Especially true if he had Lawler's help somehow, although that would be unlikely unless WWE pissed Jerry off again.

coconono posted:how you gonna have a press conference and NOT announce the young bucks? Then go round and dump them in a 30 second YT vid like a couple of jabrones. I'd assume the people in the ads are closer to full-timers whereas the people who aren't will probably make sporadic appearances (especially given the Bucks allergy to contracts), but that may be giving JJ too much credit It's also possible they just hadn't agreed to a deal yet

That attendance is pretty bad. To give you an idea of how bad, the city I live in has a summer league team that has NCAA players trying to sharpen their skills in baseball (the Northwoods League for those of you living in the midwest). They normally draw okay-ish, but yesterday it was wet and cold out, I went anyways because I try to catch a few games every year, and I'd say it sitll had roughly the same amount of people despite the weather. And that's despite the fact the team is 11-13 currently, and they were playing the worst team in the league. Not a good sign for Jeff, unless they're paying him a LOT.

oatgan posted:CZW will produce more PPVs in 2015 than GFW Probably better shows, too. Certainly better attended. For all the poo poo CZW catches, they've outlived WCW, ECW, will likely outlive TNA, and they occasionally put on genuinely good shows. And their in-house wrestling school trained Adam Cole (bay bay).

That 10 man tag is up on Highspots' Roku channel, and Jeff didn't seem wasted to me, it just felt like he wanted to get heat while doing very little, which is probably pretty sensible given his age. I'd say it worked,too, and I'm pretty sure Tommy and Joey were just playing off of the room being full of smarky types.
