Konnan files lawsuit against TNA
The Ghost of bps21 replied to Hunter's Torn Quad's topic in TNA Wrestling
I was a little suprised that he went to the E for that very reason. IIRC TNA had wanted him to work some indy shows so that he could get more ring time and improve...and he wasn't all about that idea. With WWE he'd have to travel a lot more. He was a perfect fit for TNA at the time he was there because they lacked any big name talent and he stood out. If he returned for another run I couldn't see him getting to the top with Angle, Christian, Sting, Joe and Booker all firmly planted now. It was WIDE open before with only JJ and AJ circling the top of the card. -
Konnan files lawsuit against TNA

Yeah. Last I read they told him that he had to cancel his remaining AAA bookings. So I'd expect him to pop up in Florida soon. -
I agree. Wasn't there a story about some TNA people buying HOF tickets a while back? But it was just to see Flair get inducted. Fans are classless anyway...no matter how you dress them up.

I rank em: WWE World ECW US and IC can be tied since they're rarely defended...but they're kept on good wrestlers Womens Both Tags are just down in the basement of importance...

Konnan files lawsuit against TNA
The Ghost of bps21 replied to Hunter's Torn Quad's topic in TNA Wrestling
I agree that he'd have a better case...but 2 things would hurt him if it was his lawsuit. 1. Regardless of length of reigns...it's hard to claim being held down when they put you on top. I'm the biggest Truth fan out there...and I wish he wouldn't have been shoved down the card and off the shows...the man had more charisma than anyone on the roster for the first few years TNA existed. But they gave him a spot (twice) that most people that work for the company will never get to. Ironically...the X division guys are more discriminated against than the minorites. Guys like Sabin and Daniels who have been real good hands for the company for an awful long time...never even get in contention for the top. Look what happened to Kaz after his awesome momentum with Christian and Angle. 2. He returned to the company. After leaving TNA he came back to work the PacMan angle. Which was his choice to return. That alone would make me toss his claim out if he made one. I know it's odd to think that much on a lawsuit that DOESN'T exist...but I pretty much think Konnan's is garbage and would rather discuss a more interesting case. -
I said that part tongue in cheek.

I don't think that there are enough TNA fans out there to get a noticeable vocal reaction. Considering there was a very audible "TNA" chant during the Rosie vs. Trump mock match on Raw from wherever it was from...I think there's enough to be audible in their hometown in a theater. I mean...product aside...they do get over a million viewers.

The word mark is already included in the term smart mark. It doesn't deny being a wrestling fan. It just includes the fact that you spend equal time bitching about behind the curtain things as in the ring things.

Konnan files lawsuit against TNA
The Ghost of bps21 replied to Hunter's Torn Quad's topic in TNA Wrestling
He had some kind of family situation didn't he? I don't know what happened to him...but I got the impression he was kinda done with wrestling. I remember that there was lots of heat between him and management when he left (he was working without a contract at the end IIRC)...to the point where he walked out when he found out he was jobbing on a ppv 3 way with Rhino and Joe...but he came back, worked it...and arguably put in his best performace to boot. That match kicked all kinds of ass. I think they'd take him back though. He wasn't a problem when he had a contract. And Jarrett obviously liked him enough to keep him around the top. He was Christian's first feud wasn't he? Or was that after he won the title? My mind is jumbled. -
Konnan files lawsuit against TNA
The Ghost of bps21 replied to Hunter's Torn Quad's topic in TNA Wrestling
Oh you don't get me started on that Brown/JJ Impact match. My God was that ever a disaster. When Brown no sold that guitar...PERFECTION. Brown was so hot at that point. And JJ retained so that he could NOT defend the title that Sunday in a 6 man with Hall and Nash. Of course the plan was for JJ to headline against a washed up Savage...so Brown was just a victim of the circumstance that time. Side note...Sting stole his guitar no sell at BFG and finally beat JJ. I popped...but Brown's was better. HE SNIFFED THE ROPES!!!! Damnit. Damnit -
TNA Comments which don't warrant a thread
The Ghost of bps21 replied to dubq's topic in TNA Wrestling
Agreed completely. IF they can make it through Lockdown doing what seems so easy...and seems to be what they're doing... They've set themselves up really nicely. Angle and AJ can feud, and Joe can be the kick ass champion on top. Sting's back and Christian and Tomko are hot right now. They've even got Rhino looking like he's ready to be a serious player again. And Booker will be done with the Roode feud. That's a lot of talent that can run at the top...and then the X division and Knockouts stuff thats always been doing a good job underneath. Oh...and if they ever chose too...LAX and the Machineguns can rule all the world. They just need to make it through Lockdown on the path they're on. ... Please God. -
Konnan files lawsuit against TNA
The Ghost of bps21 replied to Hunter's Torn Quad's topic in TNA Wrestling
Brown was never given the strap but he was pushed hard on TV during his entire tenure. Killings could have an argument since he was dicked around so much...but they did make him a 2 time World Champion...so that'd be a hard sell too. Half their titles right now are held by minorities...and the top contenders to the other 2 are non-white as well. The only thing Konnan really has is that they helped Steiner pay for his surgery...and not him. It's a fair point...and something TNA will have to deal with. How...exactly Konnan feels he was held back is a mystery to me. He could barely work...and they made him a tag champion. When he couldn't work...they made him the manager of the tag champions. He was on my TV every week...collecting a paycheck even though his in ring days appeared over. I don't see how he's going to sell that as being discriminated against. -
i can't see WWE ever releasing it... But illegal youtube videos will never die!!! Part 1 Part 2 Part 4

"Over the Edge has Owen Hart of course. The rest of the card really dies after that" oh you cheeky bastard

CONSPIRACY!!!!!

They SHOULD have done this

I'm a big fan of Steiners vs. Headshrinkers. Other than that this show is the drizzling shits

Tenay's a badass. He was the only one able to stand up to JJ during his reign of terror. ...I don't know why they let him do it either. -
I've got some ideas for my final few picks...but nothing in the queue as of yet for what comes next.
-
I think Orton's length of reign is entirely tied to Cena being injured. It's hard to come up with a new plan when you only have the same 3 people that your willing to put the title on (HHH, Orton and Cena) and one of them is hurt. And hey...they're all in the Main Event of Mania. Woopie.

The Ghost of bps21 replied to dubq's topic in TNA Wrestling
I read somewhere that the whole reason they did the Karen pulling away from Kurt on TV was to show that they had every intention of delivering the Joe/Angle blowoff in the cage and presenting it as such. I'm skeptical as always...but so far they've done just that. With Joe not coming back to Impact until he wins, and Angle's strong promos and segment this week...they're off to a good start. -
Urban Leena stole my radio. ... Then she called me smarmy

Whats the first pay per view you saw live?
The Ghost of bps21 replied to Frankie Williams's topic in General Wrestling
I've ordered a billion events (especially considering those TNA weekly ppvs) but strangely have only been to 2 (WW3 1998, Bound For Glory 2006) strangely they were both in Detroit (well...Auburn Hills and Plymouth but who's counting?) ...Strange because I live in Buffalo. WCW, WWE and ECW all have run a ppv from Buffalo and I've never gone. Weird. -
Every time Pac Man Jones stood on the apron in a TNA tag title match. I friggin LOVED that.
