Styles

bps, as a diehard Orioles fan, I request that you remove that sickening photo from your sig, as the mere sight of it produces colvusions and vomitting, thanks in advance! As for who TNA's breakout star will be? I'll say Sabin and Daniels marticulate into the main event scene...

N/M I was going to ask for the "!" to be removed, but I kind of like it!

Jonny Fairplay close to signing... Jonny Fairplay, one of the stars of Survivor, is extremely close to signing on with NWA: TNA. Unless a major problem comes up, he should be debuting with TNA soon. Fairplay often used wrestling catchphrases on Survivor and was hoping to land a deal with WWE, but thus far WWE has not had too much interest in him. Fairplay is the former assistant of Roddy Piper.

No need to yell. THIS IS YELLING I WAS NOT YELLING OK Don't be so rude. You've very poor manners. OMG WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU I HAVE VOICE MODULATION DISORDER IT MEANS I CANT CONTROL THE INFLECTION OF MY VOICE HOW RUDE ARE YOU PLEASE BE MORE SENSITIVE TO MY DISORDER THANK YOU Damn...you know...if I ever wanted to create a gimmick that might have been a good one...and I wasted it...ah well!

Damn, I hate the blurring...thanks for the info though!

You obviously put a lot of time and work into it so it deserves to be read and given feedback. Off the bat I'd reccomend using the font for your final thoughts at the bottom for the whole thing because the red typewriter like font was hard on the eyes. I think it fills a good void for those who were used to reading Dames Diatribes. You seem to have more of a stream of conscious kind of style where you recap and just type whatever's on your mind at the time (although it might be easier to read and a little tighter to just point out the main spots of the match.) You're a fair rater and while there's a clear anti-Dutch bias you gave the X match a high rating and the opener a little higher than I would have. Resthold Kid? Hah, that's a little harsh. You even admitted he did a good job in the match. It seems like it took a lot of time to do, but if it's your thing, keep it up. Maybe ask Dames if he'll put it up on the site?

STANNNNNDDDD BACK!

No need to yell. THIS IS YELLING I WAS NOT YELLING OK

Another preposterous abridging of our freedoms by the government of George W. Hitler! What's next? Banning use of computers?

Punk in TNA: Virtual jobber in Xplosion tag team that has only seen main event level exposure as Raven's lackey. GET OVER IT! They're actually pushing him now, and you're pissed that they're not instantly making him the focus of the show (LOLTRIPLEJARRET2004 save it). Give it due time and stop looking for reasons to complain. He wouldn't even be GETTING this feud if Raven didn't request it, and Raven likely requested his friend Mitchell be involved too, so get off unless you want to accuse Raven of somehow holding him down which would be mindblowingly ridiculous...

You don't understand because you're STUPID! Duh.

Owner: Take this object, but beware it carries a terrible curse! Homer: [worried] Ooooh, that's bad. Owner: But it comes with a free Frogurt! Homer: [relieved] That's good. Owner: The Frogurt is also cursed. Homer: [worried] That's bad. Owner: But you get your choice of topping! Homer: [relieved] That's good. Owner: The toppings contains Potassium Benzoate. Homer: [stares] Owner: That's bad.

Oh, shutup already. He got to cut 2 promos at last week's show. Ever think that maybe, the Nashville fans (and many in PPV land) aren't familiar with Punk's other work (I know, SHOCKING, that not everyone has heard of ring of honor), but are familiar with Sinister Minister from his past TNA work managing heels, thus in their eyes it gives Punk and Julio further legitimacy in their eyes through association? Oh, and I'm sure it's completely out of the realm that Raven requested for his good friend whom he enjoys working with to be involved in the storyline...

Just more of George W. Hitler's vicious secret police tactics...

Raven and Mitchell are good friends plus Raven has expressed a willingness to work with young talent.

For those curious, in his TNA recap, Dave Meltzer says the guy under the mask was Apollo.

Is there really a question?

Please change my name back to Slapnuts! Thanks!!!

The problem, I think, is that while they KNOW this is what their audience wants, they are also desprately trying to get a TV deal, to legitimize themselves as true competition for WWE, and to do that, they feel they need to somewhat follow the "sports entertainment" format, since that's what mainstream fans/TV people know. Even though the quality of the show would improve dramatically if Watts/Callis stopped trying to be Bichoff/Austin and Jarrett stopped trying to be HHH (on screen I mean!)

I don't know what you're talking about. Sabin won.

As the kids on the street say... "My Bad". Oh yeah...I can speak your lingo!

So HE'S suing the CABLE COMPANY for giving him free cable...that's a new spin on things!

Quick thoughts: -Ultimate X 2 was really good. I LOVED the spot with Lo Ki doing the dragon clutch while hanging on the wire, and the spot where he knocked someone off with a stiff kick. The stuff where they were trying to springboard and jump off chairs were really creative and added some cool psycology. The ropes were a few inches higher this time. I was waiting for a spot where someone climbs up a body pile of fallen opponents, but it didn't happen. The ladder stuff annoyed me at first, but it didn't figure into the finish since the ref was out, it makes sense for everyone to be an oppurtunist. At least as good as the first one, maybe better with less blown spots, more creative spots and no belt falling! They had that thing SECURE, I was laughing at poor Sabin tugging for everything he was worth to get the belt loose! -The rest of the show wasn't good. Way too much filler/talking/commercial like stuff and recaps. Not too much "action" tonight. Although I thought the Raven/Sandman vs. Gathering match was pretty good. Sandman is deceptively good out there. -Who was the masked man? Dustin Rhodes? His arms looked really muscular... -I'll even admit I'm getting really sick of the Red Shirts/Don Callis/Eric Watts crap and even Jarrett. Maybe time for a new sn? The potential for more Kid Kash/Abyss interactions though is only a good thing! So all in all a weak show with too much filler, somewhat saved by a real good main event.

NEW MATCH JUST ADDED: AJ STYLES AND AMERICA'S MOST WANTED VS. ABYSS AND REDSHIRT SECURITY For the first time in TNA, former NWA World Champion AJ Styles will team with America's Most Wanted in six man action!

Without a doubt, all four superstars will be looking to take the Ultimate X to a new level! WILL JEFF JARRETT DEFEND THE NWA WORLD TITLE?

However, Director of Authority Erik Watts promised that Jarrett will be forced to defend the gold when TNA returns live! Only problem is, following the December 17 show the number-one contender is still uncertain! Can Watts force the NWA Board to make a decision, or will Jarrett and Callis continue to wield their power and get out of a defense? RAVEN AND A MYSTERY PARTNER VS.
