Placebo Effect

So following this formula That's a .09 buyrate. Ouch. Not that it truly matters right now if TNA is pulling a profit, but I'm looking forward to seeing how Noovember's show drew.

It's an intentionally hokey gimmick. What do you people not get about it? When he starts making Todd Grisham's hair drip black liquid and Batista puke, then people can feel free to bitch.

I guess that's the role that was supposed to go to Jasmin St. Claire five years ago.

And then we suffered through Mongo in 1998, with him being especially unmotivated and beating Flock members over and over again without any real direction. And who can forget the epic feud with the even more unmotivated British Bulldog?

That was Ferrera.

You don't ever watch Heat on WWE.com, do you? Nope, has Parisian done anything other than be a 2nd Gen jobber on the wwe.com exclusive shows? He's gotten a win or two over total jobbers.

You don't ever watch Heat on WWE.com, do you?

I disagree with every single of one of your points but the one about Raven. I'm not going to get to ten, but... 1) CUT SCENES! Jesus people, if you're going to give a guy a new gimmick (Shelley last night for example) do a quick, thirty-second cut scene that establishes it. 2) Speaking of, the X Division guys need to slowly develop characters. 3) Show a video about AJ Styles that highlights his previous World Title wins. The new fans have no real reason why he's the face of TNA. 4) 6 PPVs a year IF, and only IF, it's financially sound. We've heard nothing about TNA's buyrates. 5) Stop treating people like Gail Kim and Jackie Gayda as huge acquisitions. TNA's been doing this since the weekly PPV days and it's awful. 6) Never, ever, ever show Don West's full length body in a non-tucked shirt again. 7) Special ring introductions for title matches rocked. 8) Get Jarrett was out of the main event. If they want to keep him around, push him down towards the mid-card and into a feud where he's seen as the dominating force against someone like Sabin, Hardy, etc. 9) Keep the six-sided ring. 10) Either put Apolo in that group with Homicide or fire him. I don't even want him around as a JTTS.

I love the Joe/AJ fade-out. The beating like it was out of a movie, but in a good way.

Diamonds in the Rough are essentially the Danny Doring, Roadkill, and Tom Marquez of ECW. Although this match isn't too bad.

Thursday at 10? That's random. Diamonds in the Rough????????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH TNA you fucking idiots.

So what, Larry is a heel now? This is fucking retarded.

actually...it seemed to me like Jarrett actually made a good promo tonight. He really seemed to bring intensity when Tenay was askin about Jackie Gayda That was awful intensity. And what's worse is that it was blatantly stolen from Vince Russo. Back in the weekly PPV days, Tenay brought up the BATB 2000 incident, and that was essentially the same reaction Jarrett gave as Russo did.

At this point, unless the appearance is costing them a lot of money (I doubt it is), the publicity is worth it. Just the fact that there are segments about TNA being aired on news outlets gets the name out there. Now if WWE did this and it didn't increase business, then yeah, it wouldn't be worth it.

Christian was the sole highlight of that entire ten minute segment. Why does AMW care if Jarrett is sleeping with Gayda? Why didn't they have Monty Brown run out? Although chanting "Boring" at Jarrett was beautiful.

TNA drama is like Melrose Place - 95% the dialogue and acting abilities. That was so fucking awful.

1) I sure do hope they keep Heenan away from the announcing booth 2) Shelley's new gimmick is so indyriffic. THEY'RE ON TV. It's something that's nifty for a little promotion, seeing as how they're not on TV and can give a heat-getting interview before the match explaining the camera, but not when a show can be recorded at your house. 3) TNA's producer(s) and editors (s) aren't used to backstage stuff or anything resembling a real film world, as that was an awkward cut between AMW and Taylor and that video on TV.

Yeah, that'll get picked up. /sarcasm

Why the hell would you do that, unless it's of out of personal preference? This is, almost guaranteed, the last season for W&G. It's been a consistent ratings grabber for years, is actually beating the program that acts as its lead-in (Joey), and chances are the 6.1 or so W&G has been averaging this year would be better than what Scrubs would score.

I personally had no problem with Hassan (until he turned into a terrorist sympathizer), Viscera-Lillian, the new LOD, or Boogey Man. I voted for Jillian Hall. That was, and still is, FUCKING RETARDED.

Is that show on PAX? Al Jazeera actually.

Haha. Kane and John Cena movies from WWE Films being released in Theaters? That'll be the day. Well, Lions Gate has picked up theatrical distribution rights and all but confirmed May for Kane's movie to open up, so I guess that day is coming.

I still believe that Ciclope stoll Eddie's wallet.

As someone else mentioned it, would you consider All in the Family to be a racist TV show?
