Huh, beared Dixie. And I thought the thread title was a reference to EY's reign as knockout tag champion.

The craziest thing about all this nonsense is that the bearded lady isn't part of the Circus stable.

Also let's count down the TNA "dark/supernatural" gimmicks:

Willow
Abyss
Samuel Shaw
The Menagerie (at least 3 dudes)

That's 6 people on the roster with horror film gimmicks.

We'll you see if we give enough people horror-themed gimmicks eventually one of them will be as good at the role as Bray Wyattt is.

As dumb as all of these gimmicks are, none of them are anything like Bray Wyatt. I am genuinely confused by this constant comparison, especially when it's used for something like Willow, where the comparison began and ended at "Does promos outside".

Yeah and that dude's family is watching him suck from the front row. The best part is when he says "you can see my ribs" and then he's really out of shape and when he throws punches like a celebrity throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

So with Dixie wearing the beard - Does she wear it all the time? Is she claiming it to be real facial hair grown from out of her face?

As stupid as TNA is, was, and ever will be, this reminds me of when 80s Aussie soap E Street was on its way out and they had one of the dudes turn into a werewolf. For some reason.

What I'm saying is Dixie will slowly get hairier, and become a lycanthrope. Hopefully.

No way. Matt Morgan is legitimately huge. I mean Brock is 6'3" and Morgan is at least 5 or 6 inches taller than him. Brock was by far the smallest guy on his Survivor Series team that one year.

Former WWE and TNA talent Low Ki is reportedly in the final stages of signing a new deal with TNA.

The deal will see him work for TNA as a wrestler in the X Division and as an agent for X Division matches. The hope is that Ki will improve that division.

Low Ki worked TNA's One Night Only: Xtravaganza pay-per-view tapings earlier this month and had a very successful night.

He hates doing jobs (he once refused to do one for his friend Homicide) no shows dates, refuses to do dates unless he's paid more (although I think he always does it in advance) and has burned bridges with every major promotion in the world except CMLL.

I believe he also burned bridges in NOAH and Dragon Gate. I remember him pissing off AAA too but I can't find any evidence of this.

From the Botchamania site, the story as we first heard it:

quote:

JAPW and CZW had huge heat at the time, but CZW had shown interest in Ki, the Haas Brothers, and The Hit Squad, so they started using them all. As dumb as it sounds, it lead to one of the bigger dream matches in NJ indy rasslin at the time: Ki vs Ric Blade. They did like three matches total together: January 2000 in CZW, one for New Millennium Wrestling in early February 2000, and then one like a week later for CZW that was a ladder match between Ki, Blade and Mercury. Blade got hurt during the match (Low Ki had nothing to do with it either, Blade hosed himself up coming off a basketball hoop and putting Mercury through a table while Ki was selling *he actually did that back then* near the ring and couldn’t see what happened) and couldn’t do everything that was planned. Ki, being Ki, has always had to get his poo poo in. So the dude just starts flipping out in front of the crowd because he thinks it’s some kind of screw job/set up, with CZW trying to gently caress him over for being a JAPW guy or whatever. Everyone is standing around wondering what to do because he won’t calm down. So security dude just decides “gently caress it” and scoops Ki up in his arms, mid-tantrum, as if he were a child throwing a hissy fit and carries him to the back. The Hit Squad tried to intervene too, and got in a shoving match with security. Neither Ki or the Hit Squad were brought back.

For whatever reason CZW edited it off the video they sold and that picture is the only image from a forgotten moment in indy rasslin’ lore.

Picture him shouting "this is bullshit" in his McGruff the Crime Dog voice and it becomes even better
