    WWE to leave Spike TV

    Thanks for the info, Looney, but if you haven't noticed I kind of follow the product so I knew that I was using examples. The point is TNA has access to a wealth of former WWF and WCW stars they're willing to throw money out to make guest appearences, and would certainly utilise that to grab new fans if put head to head.

    Every move they've made since their inception has had the same risk. They're still around...

    And FM...I froze when I read your posts, because you're taking the words out of my mouth. Seriously, leave politics out of it, and we're on the same track...

    WWE to leave Spike TV

    The Observer says the majority of WCW fans just went away when WWE bought them (I don't have figures in front of me), TNA could bring them back in primetime. No one gave WCW much credit or chance even with Hulk Hogan, yet they went out there and when compared to the stale RAW product, provided innovated sets and graphics, a unique form a wrestling and an "anything can happen" feel and won curious fans over. I think the "marks' would flip to check out this other wrestling show on, see a 6 sided ring, tunnel entrances, high flying X division matches and suprise appearences from the likes of Sting and DDP and Randy Savage and stick around....

    Triple-H and Wrestlemania

    Eh, I see your point, but he's the heir apparent, wants to be the new Hogan/Flair and there's no one who can stop him so just get used to it. He's been positioned as the top guy for years now, so logically the top guy should headline WM... WM18 should have ended with Hogan/Rock, but I can rationalize that by saying Jericho got to work a WM main event. WM 19 he was in the FOURTH match from the top, in a title match no less, so you can't fault him for stealing it there. and WM20 made sense for Benoit's moment to come true, and it was Michaels not HHH who seemed forced into the match (no doubt he made it a great match though). So...he really hasn't put WM around himself besides at 16 which was just horrid booking...

    WWE to leave Spike TV

    I never found arguments that they were better off on USA to be that convincing. Neither do I, but USA is associated with the glory days and Crazy Vince insists that they lost a good chunk of their audience who didn't have/didn't know about TNN. The fact that this opens up the possibility of TNA going head to head and rekindling the Monday Night Wars really makes me excited. I just hope Spike still wants wrestling and TNA is capable of getting a deal done...both are questionable...

    ^^^ TNA should be on the phone now. Hopefully they don't have Dusty Rhoes negotiating... "Let meh lay eet on yah, if you weel, what am talkin' 'bout right hee-ah...."

    Not that there's much correlation, but the fall in business began when they moved from USA to Spike. Hopefully this is symbolic of an upswing... Oh, and now I don't have to choose between RAW and the Westminster Dog Show anymore!

    Head 2 Head Fantasy Baseball 2005

    I dont think this was ever made official, Verne. I'm fine for a Sunday draft at 3pm, and would be fine at 7pm or later if that's more accomodating!

    So, I was wondering..

    No, there is denying, that's complete bullshit! Again, do you watch TNA? If you don't you don't know what you're talking about, if you do, I don't know in which universe. Kash's gimmick is that of a small, hotheaded, white trash misogynist who cuts angry sometimes worked shoot promos about how he hates everyone getting a push ahead of him, gets pissed off about it, even at fans who cheer him. RVD's gimmick is that of an atheletic, new age, laid back gymnyst who likes to talk about pot and say "dude", he doesn't get angry because he's too cool for that and likes hearing the fans chant for him. They both have a similar high spot oriented style but Kash has the fundamentals down way better then RVD and is less dangerous and reckless. Kash cuts way better promos and is a heel. RVD barely speaks and is a face. So Kash has a Ying Yang on his shirt? Big deal. If your argument is: "RVD's shirts are popular because they have Ying/Yangs on them, so TNA is copying that idea to sell shirts for Kash". Fine, you'd have an argument. But the argument of "Kash is TNA's ripoff of RVD" is ludicrous.

    A wasted pick? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was just referring to the picture, where you can't see his face, I thought that was funny. Although my question was wide open for a smart ass answer like "of course, he's joining the Cubs..." or something... They found out where Sammy Sosa was hiding his secret stash of "the cream & the clear".... Um, in his boombox?

    Um, WWE would be copying TNA, that's pretty much 3LiveKrew's gimmick (BG James is the white guy though.

    As for my next pick, it's too hot to talk about on the board. But if you call my hotline, I'll let you in on all the juicy secrets we just can't talk about right here. Will it be a hitter? a pitcher? Which already drafted player is ready to jump ship to my team? Call 1-900-909-9900, do it now, and kids get your parent's permission before calling, but whatever you do call the hotline, RIGHT NOW! Tony, Bobby, Al, back to you!

    fine! EDIT: Not that I'd want to discourage anyone from watching TNA's fine PPV, Destination X, but I'm at school without PPV so I can't watch it live anyway.

    So, I was wondering..

    I mean do you actually watch TNA? Because if you did, you wouldn't be saying Kash is an RVD ripoff. RVD would do the little arm spot in his face and Kash would slap his face off. They're like polar opposites... Oh and Kash can cut a promo too. RVD to my knowledge doesn't speak English.

    I think maybe the concern is people don't like to reveal their "depth chart" so to speak lest someone steals their picks. So, could we maybe modify this by finding a volunteer who's around the board a lot who'd be willing to accept PMs from everyone? Under this system I propose the new rule is: -Everyone must submit to whoever our neutral party is your top 5 picks. -When it is your turn you get a shortened time limit (4 hours?) since the last person picked to post your pick. -If you do not show up by that time, and the neutral party is on, he will post the team's top avaliable pick instead. -We can alter this rule to state that if "X" amount (3?) of teams with upcoming picks within 5 places after the team currently on the clock, and the neutral person is on, the teams can request the top pick be posted of the current on the clock team even under the time limit to speed things up and allow the lurking posters to get theirpicks done. -If all 5 of your "que" picks have been chosen, you can send a new top 5. -If you surpass the time limit, and all your top 5 has been chosen and you have neglected to send a new que, then the team following will be allowed to pick, and the draft will continue. -Whenever the team who "lost" a pick returns, they can post their pick regardless of current order. (But, if who they wanted was chosen by someone after them in the order, that's too bad). How do those rules sound? Amendments? Ratify it? Tell me to blow off and be patient?
