It's worth pointing out that the NWATNA business model FAILED and the company was dead till Panda came along with truckloads of cash.

Why not ? How is this in any way out of character for Hogan ? Did anyone really thing that he wasn't using NWATNA to get his Wrestlemania payoff ? I bet they still haven't gotten his name on a cast iron contract. Been a while, but....

Hmmmm...interesting...counter point : I just about lept five feet in the air when he kipped up and I really can't ask any more from my entertainment than that!

You're the best recapper on the web - there are times when your play-by-play has almost had me on my feet with excitement!

Why ? Why ? Why ? Why couldn't you do this ONE thing right NWATNA ? All you had to do was keep Hogan away from Wrestlemania, fucktards. Oh and building your show around someone who was always likely to fuck you over for a bigger paycheque was FUCKING BUSHLEAGUE, muppets. Where do you go now ? What really gets me, is that they knew this BEFORE the title match last night and STILL put JJ over! What the fuck ? You going to leave the belt on him for six months and have Jimmy Fucking Hart, the very definition of hasbeen, running around like something out of the eighties, blithering on about an angle from WCW that NO-ONE gives two fucks about ? Idiots. NWATNA have assembled a roster capable of delivering an hour and a half a week of good to fucking great in-ring action, they need to get their act to-fucking-gether. Right now, it's Thunder-lite and there's simply no excuse for that, especially now that they have to come to terms that Hogan isn't coming anywhere near the Fairground.

I was thinking that myself but with the way Smackdown played out, they can run with Holly/Brock for the next couple of weeks and have Benoit off-screen with an injury angle. I'd have Lesnar plough through Holly in their eventual one-on-one match with Benoit making the save when Brock goes to town on Hardcore after their match ends.

Benoit/Brock 'I Quit' match at the next Smackdown PPV please.

I marked so hard for that match, one of the last things I really, really enjoyed in US pro-wrestling.

...or you could use your file sharing application of choice.

I was under the impression that it was going to be a subscription only Digital channel.

From the Torch - Jimmy Hart and Dusty Rhodes previewed the main event of Dusty vs. Jeff Jarrett with fans picked to be lumberjacks at ringside. Jeff Jarrett cut a long in-ring promo about Hulk Hogan to start the show. (1) Kid Kash pinned Low Ki in 9:00 with a handful of tights. Low Ki and Christopher Daniels argued after the match. (2) Abyss pinned Shark Boy, then powerbombed him through a table after the match. (3) Chris Sabin pinned X in 7:00 after X missed a top rope cannonball splash onto the rampway seconds earlier. (4) Raven pinned Legend in 5:00. (5) Raven fought Kevin Northcutt to a no contest in 3:00 after interference from Legend and Abyss. Styles, C.M. Punk, and Julio Deniro made the save. (6) Michael Shane pinned Sonjay Dutt to retain the X Title in 6:00 after KO'ing him with a chain. Good match, but too short. Shane Douglas announced Michael Shane is the new Franchise. Dusty Rhodes cut a promo on Jeff Jarrett and referred to himself as "a national treasure." (7) 3 Live Krew (Konnan & B.G. James & Ron "The Truth" Killings) beat Simon Diamond & Johnny Swinger & Glenn Gilberti to win the held up NWA World Tag Team Titles. America's Most Wanted fended off interference from David Young to help 3LK win. (8) Jeff Jarrett fought Dusty Rhodes to a no contest in 4:30. The fans whipped Jarrett a few times, but otherwise the match didn't consist of much other than couple bionic elbows. The finish came when Callis, Watts, Hart, and the Red Shirts interfered. The show ended with Styles beating up Jarrett. Styles faces Jarrett next week for the title.

I was so loving that Eddie/Hardyz feud!

Is anyone actually ordering this ?

I can tell you how many they deserved if you'd like.

Corey has a schtick ?

K-Kwick and D-Lo really are tearing up things at the moment.

No, it's a lumberjack strap match where the fans have the straps.

I'm sure that the fans in question will in no way whatsoever be plants of any kind. ...and enough with the "Why?" shit, Bryan had it right - center the feud on the title belt, muppets.

Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking. With two interesting romantic stories going on at once, there's no way that you-know-who will be able to keep her fat arse in check.

Yeah, I reckon your post says it all mate.

Are you being serious ? The whole basis of American pro-wrestling is to make the violence look as real as possible without actually hurting your 'opponent'! It's not real, it's not meant to be real, this is hardly rocket science.

Couldn't give a toss either way - just calling you on your rather stupid statement that wrestlers are meant to be out there beating each other up for real.

No, they're meant to pretend that they're beating the shit out of each other. So u love your wrestling to be faker than usual, good for you. Faker than what ? If you're busting people up hardway then you're fucking up.

No, they're meant to pretend that they're beating the shit out of each other.

The Cat. As an active wrestler. Why ?
