Downhome

Just like I said in the "comments" thread (about PWInsider saying that Goldberg and TNA are now in talks): If Sting raised the ratings, then I do not have a doubt in my mind that Goldberg could do the exact same. People would pay, or at least tune in, to see him take on JJ, Sting, Christian, Joe, Abyss, Monty etc... You wouldn't even need to really bother putting the title on him. What I would do is work with these guys like Sting and Goldberg, and use them to help the company grow. I believe Sting had a hell of a lot to do with Spike giving TNA the primetime show (hell, they are paying for half of his contract aren't they?). Keep milking this high why they can, and hopefully get a two hour show out of it, keep pushing it until they get on Monday nights. The key to it is to keep on promoting their original TNA talent while all of this is going on. Make guys like Abyss and Joe look fantastic while these other guys are being brought in. Talk Spike into giving them enough money to help pay for Goldberg also, and slowly build to a Goldberg/Joe match, with all of the hype from Goldberg's old streak compared to Joe's current streak, and do whatever needs to be done to have Joe go over Goldberg in the end. I'm the biggest Goldberg fan ever, but even I would want to see that happen. If signing guys like Sting and Goldberg can help the company grow, I don't have a problem with them being brought in at all. They really dropped the ball with Sting though, and that horrible retirement angle they are trying to pull off. I'll never understand why they would cut such a hot thing so short to do something like that. The last thing we need is a slow build to a Sting/JJ title match. I also believe that those involved in TNA have a much better understanding about how to book Goldberg. A lot more so than the guys in WWE who totally screwed up his run there.

Has this been posted yet, from Ultimate Warrior's latest update on his site: http://www.ultimatewarrior.com/01.26.2006.htm

PWInsider is reporting that there has been quite a bit of communication between TNA and Bill Goldberg recently about bringing him in.

vs.

He usually says something interesting in his blog on WWE.com, so why not a OAO thread for it. His latest thread is talking about cheap heat, the stuff about Eddie that we've been seeing on Smackdown: One can not help but wonder if all of this ties in together, just to get more publicity. Would WWE really allow that to be posted if they didn't want the controversy out in the open? That makes the entire thing that much more disgusting, if it's true.

This more than likely doesn't mean anything, but I figured a lot of you would have something witty to say about it. From PWInsider:

Didn't you already get flamed enough over at DVDTalk for passing judgment on a movie you haven't seen and taking the mentioned line out of context? I have seen the majority of that scene, so I'm not just pulling that out of my ass by just seeing the trailer with that horrible music. To me, it's just a horribly over cliched line, with one of the worst deliveries of all time. It's not like I'm the only guy who thinks that. There were other people on DVDTalk that were even agreeing with me, one of which I believe is actually gay. I haven't seen the flick yet, but I will before the awards show, simply because I do that every year.

The same way he put over Carlito in that horrible piece of shit match?

Ok, who called this (and the complete storyline that happens in and after the match)?

Part of Maria's gimmick should be that a kiss is to her like spinach is to Popeye.

Because he didn't actually use the chair. And yes, I felt a bit of chemistry there. I hope they get to go at it at least one more time pretty soon. So KICKING the chair into someone's face is not considered using the chair? I'll grant it, it was Carlito who introduced the chair, but if it was a heel doing that to a face, I'm 99% sure they would probably be a DQ ending there How long have you been watching wrestling? That type of spot isn't anything new at all.

Did Carlito just pull off what I think he just pulled off???

Mean Mark died, and Taker was born. It was in the same accident that claimed the life of the first Ultimate Warrior.

That was nice how they made it even that much more trashy, by inserting cuts of Eddie in the video!

And in case you weren't offended by watching it on SD...

You've gotta love the "serious voices" now.

Davey Boy Smith was a test tube baybee!!!

Watching this match makes me wish that I could have seen them both go at it together when they were both in their prime. And Flair hits the top rope spot!!!

Rehab did nothing!!!!! No, it's: The rehab, it does nothing!!!

It wouldn't shock me to see HHH actually lose, but then end up in the main event anyway because of it becoming a 3 or 4 way match.

Ok, who was that guy?

Wow, that might have just been the most pointless segment in all of wrestling history.

The Spirit Squad is on Unlimited right now. I wonder how this would get over in Japan.
