Placebo Effect

Vince does. The gimmick is such a joke that no one bothers to stop people from using it.

Might be?

Ohhh man. The pre-Scotsmanality days were great. Everyday something crazy was happening.

I remember that fondly. The animal cruelty people actually came to Extreme Associates to talk to Black. I have no idea what name I used, but I know I was on for a while before that.

Picturing Bagwell, Steiner, and Luger within ten feet of each other is a painful thought.

He's an inexperienced idiot who works for a company that assumed that their wrestlers were smart enough to know when and when not to be in character. Evidently they assumed wrong.

This will air around Christmas, most likely in place of Smackdown. Hilarious note about Carlito.

Very, very true on both points.

- Jarrett with green hair was tremendous. - TNA needs to realize that neither the FSN nor the Spike TV fans (people who started watching TNA during this time) know who Amazing Red is. - Doing a Chicago skit in Florida makes a lot of sense. - That presentation ceremony was LAME. - Torborg still sucks. - Simon has a problem? Yeah, you're getting fucking fat. - Diamond should've made a direct reference to The Demon character. - Kip James is more and more of a flaming homosexual every week. - TNA should never use these jobbers again unless they buy them new ring attire. - If we have to watch Kip James and BG James wrestle, that's how it should happen every single time. - Excellent interview from Roode and D'Amore. Too bad it led to a meh match. - That Abyss clip would've been AWESOME if it had no audio and was part of a build-up video. Abyss growling just made it look stupid. Ohhh it will.

I like Murdoch's looks. It fits in with his gimmick. Well, it would if he had a gimmick aside from his attire and wearing a grimace on his face at all time. I say push him, if only because since 80% of the roster sucks (including him), I'd rather have Murdoch than another generic guy with muscles. And that's exactly what Cade is. Release him and be done with it. Anyone who thinks this... is a good hairstyle for wrestling needs to just stay far away from the ring.

I'm glad I was reminded of this. I would've forgotten again.

Ohhh snap.

Didn't Joey Styles used to do an awesome "If you weeeeeeeellllllll."

Awful, Homosexual, Awful, Stupid

So true. It's the last thing anyone would ever suspect, as there's a tendency to just say "Ohhh, it's TV" when you have a mentally challenged woman portrayed by someone that looks like Charlize Theron.

Call me crazy but I can see it being Evan Karagias.

Uh huh. Keep telling yourself that.

I'm not too into Shelton due to his complete lack of charisma and interview skills, so as long as the angle is funny or so absurdly bad that it's funny, I'll be happy with them destroying whatever momentum he has left.

Michael was at his complete assholeish during the first half of the episode, followed by the token Season Two redemption. "Dwight can be an elf because he has elfish characteristics." "Bob Vantz, Vantz Refrigeration." "What line of work are you in?" Michael taking the topless picture was gold. So now we've had two women caught kissing Dwight in a two-show period.

God I love Juvi. There's plenty of interesting bits about Eddie in there too.

Ron Howard was on Leno tonight to promote the DVD release of Cinderella Man. No mention of Arrested Development was made, even in passing, which is sad considering that the show could use something, anything, at this point.

2.8/4 for AD last night. No big surprise, as there was no promotion for its return. Seems like AD fans don't like Kitchen Confidential, as it did a 2.1/3, which is justification to just drop it completely.

Very funny episode, although I do find it appropriate that FOX effectively canceled Arrested Development, which can't get ratings partly because people don't get the jokes, just before an episode that was full of blatant send-ups to the past. I'm dreading the ratings for this week.

Chances are that's likely what happened.

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.
