Placebo Effect

I flew into Los Angeles last night to take care of some business, and what do I see when I pass the Staples Center but an advertisement for No Way Out. I'm a Starbucks about a mile away from the arena, so I'm going to head there in a half hour or so and see if I can score a ticket from a scalper. This looks like a really fun PPV.

Martha Hart already exposed the dirt about Duke Droese. He was fond of GHBing young women and if I remember correctly, young Justin Hawk Bradshaw taught him a lesson at some point.

Here's one that hasn't been done yet: The guy who gets the contract uses it later that night during the main event. This is actually the best suggestion I've seen in quite sometime; it promotes a mid-carder instantly, and sets up two feuds already for that guy: one with the guy he just took it off of, and the second with the former champ (Cena/Bats). As long as that guy's not Hogan...or Khali, this is a cool idea. Kennedy would make this work, after tonight's performance. The definetly need something to spice up this WM with no real well developed heels/feuds (other than the overdone edge vs. Cena) Am I the only one that would mark the fuck out if Matt Hardy won MITB and then cashed it later that night against new WWE Champion Edge? No. You and the sixty other girls who type in aqua will have your collective orgasm, although every other person out there will groan, and not out of satisfaction.

God knows Christian never learned.

I'm calling bullshit on that statement.

I'll throw my thanks in as well.

Thanks for posting these.

Vito, Terkay, Miz, Lashley, and Hassan all had undefeated streaks. They cared so little about Vito that the streak ending wasn't even mentioned. The absolute best was when Rene Dupree, who had ONE match on ECW TV, was billed by Styles as undefeated.

There's a fine quote for the eventual WON quote thread about the death of TNA.

Burke and Turkay would be the logical choice.

Abyss/Sting isn't selling 1/10 the buys that Joe/Angle is.

Michael Shane looks like a woman, the VKM/Raven's New Group really shouldn't have been the same segment, over a week of post-production and that's the best siren they can get, and the three way X Division match was God awful. Everything else, however, was good to excellent. There's a part of me that likes the VKM stuff, but at the same time, it really needed to be two different guys. They could've at least brought up that the Michael Buffer intro was their idea. Sting repelling on a giant pole just made me chuckle.

Thanks for this. Made for a great read.

I read the majority of the book last night in about an hour and a half at Borders. It's a fun read. I liked the glances into WCW's corporate structure, but the lack of talent relations material was the book's big flaw.

aka Vince Russo not booking.
