The Ghost of bps21

I would agree with Jingo. It is overkill. But Lockdown is usually the #1 or #2 most ordered TNA show of their year...so I get why they keep doing it. But it burns you out watching it.

It makes me feel better that you picked Hero and Claudio... since I already had my write up finished and waiting for your pick...

Well...I would have taken the Briscoes if Steivekick hadn't, because it would have lead to some enjoyable hardhitting matches with LAX. LAX needs a smaller tag team to work with (their best work was with Styles/Daniels) and it tells an easy story of heel LAX bloody beating the smaller team until that team inevitebly steps up and wins the big one. That's an easy feud and the one I wanted for my tag division...pretty much because of that previously mentioned feud with Styles and Daniels just being tremendous. So...that leaves me with this: It's TNA tag team madness in my unnamed federation. I'm taking the Motor City Machineguns because they fit that mold I'm looking for perfectly...and like LAX I can see them as both a face team and a heel team down the road. They're no slouch in the ring either...and that's what I'm pretty much going for. Hey...at least I can give myself the tag feud that TNA won't...but should be doing. It kinda sucks taking two modern tag teams for half my division (and in the same company no less) but my options are what they are...especially since people have started turning their attention towards the indys of late.

Did he actually leave without realizing he had another pick?

I was going to take the Briscoes if Stevie didn't. BTW...you still have another pick Steive.

Jim Cornette's response to Santino's cage match challenge: "I appreciate the offer but i would rather wait and have this match with some one who can actually draw money. I am long past the point in my career where i need to work with comedy JOB guys! isn't it funny that when i slapped him in the face 17 times in Louisville Ky. he was not too eager to fight then. but now safely hidden away in Canada at an AA meeting somewhere in Toronto protected by Jaques and Pierre, he suddenly wants a fight, But i am happy that i was able to make the Kid a name in the wrestling business since it doesn't look like he is going to do it for himself! Thanks.....but NO Thanks."

Well I hope it's who I've been thinking as I watch this draft roll on.

I can see how that would happen. He was on the road so often they wouldn't have had time to realize that they weren't as compatable as they thought.

From the observer update: --The final team for the TNA World X Cup, Team International, has been finalized as Doug Williams, Tyson Dux, Shawn Daivari and Alex Koslov. The tournament will start at the 6/9 TV tapings the day after Slammiversary in Memphis with all the international crew from Japan, Mexico, etc. in for the next two sets of tapnigs and the finals at the 7/13 Victory Road PPV

Well...I've got to take a tag team eventually... I'm picking this team because I think that I could build a tag division around them...and with as many tag teams as are gone already it's kinda forced the issue that I take them now. The LAX They work real well together, Homicide is awesome and Hernandez compliments him with his size and power moves. They have a gimmick that works (I'd be taking the heel version from 06). In fact...they have a gimmick that I think works so well that if they had the marketing and brains of Vince McMahon behind them...they would be huge. I feel like I'm being forced to reach here because of the sheer number of teams off the board...but I personally like them better than some of the teams taken and they would be high on teams I would want so it is what it is.

That was the only stoppage tonight that bothered me, because the fight had me really into it. But if they make good with a rematch down the road...that's fine with me. That's the one thing on tonights show that can be easiest fixed to fans. The first 3 fights I had no problem with the endings. I didn't care about how the main event ended because the luster came off of Kimbo in the second round anyway...and that's all there was to look at.

I meant accidental poke. I'm assuming that wasn't accidental.

I've never seen a finger to the eye end a fight before. At least not that I can remember.

It's not the last fight, throwing that idea in the pile of nonsense.

woops.

They'd let it air. They have money invested in this...and cutting it off would hurt them more than anything. Up next is the local news and syndicated programming anyway.

This is fun.

hahahaha Good.

And as with every time I've ever seen him... I'll be rooting for Baroni to get his ass kicked

This show is paced like a bad episode of Impact.

I does work (thinks for a second) I DOOS work. Much better.

I am told he will not be.

She started it. She treated everyone like shit whenever they walked in. She was also known to throw racist comments out when walking away from black customers. It was honestly about time someone told her she was a miserable bitch. She got fired not that long after for...wait for it...being a miserable bitch towards the customers. If you lived in the area and mentioned that bitch that works at Denny's, everyone would know who you were talking about. That wasn't an isolated incident. She really was a fat cunt. Surely everyone has that one terrible server in their town that people can't stand because of their attitude. This was just the story of the day i told her to fuck off with it.

sigh... Now I've either got to spend my weekend trying again or I have to kill Venkman. ... I'm going to take a nap and decide a little later.

I would have taken Styles next...but I knew there was zero chance of him getting back to me.
