MAIN EVENT FOR THE TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Brother Ray vs. Brother Devon vs. Kurt Angle vs. Sting© BONUS (1pt): Who will be pinned? Devon ADDITIONAL BONUS (1pt): If Samoa Joe appears, who will he attack? Kevin Nash

That's what the bitch gets for picking a fight w/ the Man of 1,004 Holds. Give Jericho a bonus for not catering to the sycophants after the show.

Didn't watch the main event but other than a fun battle royal to start, that show was blah city.

The only AAO match I'm looking forward to in the slightest is Booker/Sewell mostly because I see so little TNA that Sewell hasn't even begun to get on my nerves yet, if he will at all.

Lesnar was GOLD when they turned him heel in 03 up until his departure. He was the meanest motherfucker ever in a sombrero in his feud w/ Guerrero.

Even when Lesnar was a face, he looked and came across like a mean bastard that would beat the shit out of anyone for free. Lashley looked and came across like a nice guy. Not good if you're going to be a 280lbs roid freak w/ a high voice.

It does sound ridiculous, and at this point he doesn't have the charisma to either cancel it out or use it to his advantage.

I only liked him when he was paired up w/ Cowboy Bob . . . and that was for seeing Bobbo be a better heel at 50+ years old than his baby boy. Ok ok ok . . . I marked for the RNN stuff too.

Bummer that Mike's suggestion got no sold.

King Booker

I'd love to get your thoughts on King Booker, assuming you've seen the new gimmick.

I was half-expecting for that rant to end with "Don't you know WHO I AM?!? I AM NETWORK BAH GAWD!!!"

"I'm Droopy" as if nobody's watching makes my heart melt every time. Plus, he has to pull it together enough to raise a pup.

Yeah, I think I'll go w/ Droopy too.

For me, it's a tossup between Eeyore and Droopy for favorite depressed animated character.

You should at least put in your 2 week notice first.

Oh he was. His Fall of 1994 push to the WWF Championship was among the most underrated angles of all time (3 cheers for putting the editor of the WWF Magazine Lou Gianfrino in the crossface chickenwing). Plus, as a heel, he could be as strong as an ox or as spineless as a jellyfish, whatever the situation called for. We were all plebeians quagmired in a sea of hypocrisy in Mr. Bob Backlund's world.

Black Lushus is one of the few guys on the board that I wouldn't mind meeting sometime . . . and no, not in the NBC Dateline Predator way. More like a swishing down a beer watching a ppv way.

Plebians? Someone must have been watching her 1994-95 Mr. Bob Backlund promos.

Nothing more awkward than meeting up w/ a buddy's female acquaintence on the street. Should I hug too? Am I obligated? Does she even want me to? Probably not, so I don't.

I don't believe it's the size of the wrestler that the fan has been successfully trained to react to. It's the personality/charisma and secondarily the workrate of the wrestler. Granted, there must be a half-decent physiche for the fan to buy into. A fan will react to a "witty" one-liner or a gimmicky finisher before they will to a random clean-cut wrestler reliant on roids or not. Batista has a silent killer personality --- people react Randy Orton has no personality but looks great --- girls react Chris Masters has no personality --- the pindrops are deafening Eddie Guerrero oozed personality --- people reacted Scotty 2 Hotty does the gimmicky worm --- people still react regardless of his average (compared to the average Joe) physiche. Rey Mysterio does some amazing things in the ring (compared to others in WWE) --- people react Just my penny or two.

I'll throw some jobbers at ya: Jose-Luis Rivera Barry O Iron Mike Sharpe Barry Horowitz Jim Powers Salvatore Bellomo

I am so tempted to send you copies of Coliseum Video's "George 'The Animal' Steele", "Wrestling's Country Boys", and "Best of the WWF Volume 14" to review. But I'm not a sadist.

Prefer to be given only finish and call everything else in the ring? Lay the entire match out beforehand? Eh, lay it out beforehand but have the flexibility to change it if the crowd is completely crapping on it or someone forgets his/her spot. Like to have your promo's scripted? Or just be given a couple of bullet points, and wing the rest? Bulletpoints. Just so I know where I'm going w/ the promo. If I get stuck, I'll just wrap it up. Blade often? Only on occasion? Would you rather never blade at all? I'd be scared to death of blading but could probably be talked into it now and again. Especially, if it means fatter checks. What style would you like to wrestle? Why would you prefer to employ that particular style over others? A technical style I guess. If nothing else, I'd like to be findamentally sound and slowly build my repotoire (sp?) as I progress. Refuse to take certain moves? Only take them when working with certain wrestlers? If I trust the wrestler, I'd take just about anything. If I don't trust the worker, I'd be crappin myself the whole match anyway. Are there any match types you'd like to wrestle in a lot? Some match types you'd rather never have to work in? I'm a battle royal/Royal Rumble/Survivor Series mark, so stick me in those matches. Someone can javelin me over the top. Plus, it'd be cool to be in a 4-5 man team with a hokey name . . . The Rude Brood, The Vipers, ect. Even the Elimination Chamber looks like a blast. However, no Exploding Taipei Death Matches for me. What style of normal match would you like to do the most? Would you prefer to sell or to dominate? Would you like to do long matches? I'd much rather sell. Seems like a lot less work. If you're dominating, you better know 2-3 moves ahead what you're going to do. As for match length, I don't really care. 2 min-60min . . . whatever. Would you like to have a manager or valet to work spots with or would you rather just do it all yourself? I'd only want one if that person somewhat fits my style/character. Don't just stick someone w/ me just because (Ex: Stacy w/ Hurricane). Are there some types of angles that you would refuse to do? Some types of angles that you'd love to do? I'd only refuse blatant homosexual angles. I'd be willing to work with anything else, no matter how dumb it is. What promotion would you like to work for the most? What promotion would you hate to work for? I'm pretty ignorant about promotions so I'll just say whichever pays the most. What promotion of the past would you most liked to have worked for? What promotion would you have hated working for the most? Only cause I'm a mark for mid-late 1980s WWF, I'd love to be in the SD Jones role getting my BUTT kicked by the heel of the month. Any wrestlers today that you'd like to work against? Any you would avoid working against at all costs? I'm pretty indifferent here. What wrestlers from the past would you like to work against? What wrestlers from the past would you not want to work against? I'd love to work w/ 1980s Randy Savage and would avoid that Missing Link goof at all costs.
