USC Wuz Robbed!

Jarrett's influence over the product is undeniable. He has two buddies on the booking team. It's still conceivable to think Jarrett has a say in how the product goes. Don't be naive. Edit: Though I will admit his power has gone down considerably after the Carters realized that the only reason TNA was around was to be his personal playground and they quickly...ok not so quickly...put a stop to it on a grand scale.

I watch Mistico a lot since he is featured heavily on my Galavision. He is definitely the big deal out of Mexico.

I used to have CM Punk's but decided to delete the link.

Sounds good. Once again, thanks HTQ. I appreciate it.

Thanks HTQ. Anything in particular I should start out on?

Well don't make fun of Waltman. He could be appearing on Raw soon...

You know, I've been meaning to ask, but where can I find a site or a place that sells NJPW/AJPW stuff? I've been meaning to get into Puro even though I hear puro today is not as strong as in the 1990s. Also anyone know where I can find stuff from the 1990s? I've severely missed out on Misawa/Kobashi/Kawada/Hansen/etc.

I dont think anyone is really going on and on about Jarrett's comment about him that much, are they? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you read the thread? There are a quite few. It doesn't matter how many people are talking about it, it's still gossip. And it's still NOT newsworthy. Why people still let the tabloid of wrestling form their opinions for them is beyond me. I never believe these types of "backstage argument" stories, it's always taken out of context or completely false. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're an uppity Jarrett mark.

Rick Rude was in the G1? Wow.

Bears dead last? Yeah he knows nothing.

Of course Vince would like guys who would look impressive on TV, may it be ripped physiques or being giants or whatever, but don't use that as an excuse for a smaller guy not getting pushed. There's other reasons to factor in like CC's point about non-homegrowns and sometimes believe it or not, some guys don't get pushed because they rub the management the wrong way (Chris Jericho currently comes to mind). edit: Not to say being small isn't a reason that people don't receive pushes, but if they have other intangible factors, Vince will push you regardless of your size.

Well to be accurate, I said "Eduardo has a girlfriend who he abandoned for a musical concert featuring third rate (which poorly translated into tariff) rappers."

I just basically told her what a scumbag Shooting Star was as a fair warning

Eduardo tiene una novia ya y él la habría abandonado para un concierto musical que implica los terceros rappers de la tarifa.

I'm bored so I thought I'd give my hand at translating it into something easier to understand. Call it Translating Maria to English if you want. That's some deep shit, yo. But apparently she doesn't like Ravenbomb. Or it's a gimmick and it's having fun. Whatever. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sadly this is more entertaining than Raw, which I had the misfortune of catching...

I thought Rolle was a defensive player. OU typically plays man coverage where you get the reciever alone down field and make the pick or murder his ass. Our players were fit for that and Bo Pelini came in and changed it to a finesse zone where if the pass is within 10 yards of the line you wait 2 yards out then run up and make the tackle instead of being aggressive. Our players were not fit for that kind of defense. Now with Bobby Jack Wright we're going back to aggressive "beat the shit out of the reciever off of the line and then murder his ass if he catches the ball" defense. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When I am speaking of myself, I'm thinking of myself as a QB/WR, not a defensive player.

Yes that would be a better reasoning for not pushing Benoit, "He's not a homegrown talent." than what deinly was trying to claim, "He's too short!"

The man in your sig was the closest thing to a Vaderesque monster.

I know, but the translation from Spanish to English makes it more hilarious.

My point was that just because you're small doesn't mean Vince won't give you a chance. He did it with Austin. Thus your reasoning for Benoit not getting a push because of his height is... flawed.

Yeah sorry, I read it from the Torch.

You sly dog. Does your girlfriend know about the 2-3 babies?

Looks like TNA is only on a 13 week trial run. They are expected to reach the 0.5 rating Velocity was averaging in that timeslot, and THEN build on it. Guess TNA is not exactly home free yet.

You can have her. I find all this comical. That's as far as my interest in this particular topic goes.

Jeez... a girl shows up and the board lets out a collective splooge.
