    poor zack ryder...woo woo woo?? very creative, i kinda feel bad for him.

    Zack has been saying that for months. He first said it, I think, on the Dirt Sheet and it just sorta stuck. It's stupid but you remember it so it works.

     

     

    I wonder if tonight we'll see Natalya and Tyson get their rumoured new partner.

    And wrestle/feud with who? I guess Finlay could bring in SOS to be his second/tag partner. Otherwise Hart Foundation 2.0 vs Finlay is lame. HF2.0 will fail anyways, because none in the group can work the mic and not even Bret Hart himself could get over wearing hot pink this day in age.

    Really? I mean really? You mean when a wrestler wears pink you don't think of Bret Hart?

    Deadpool was portrayed fine. Yeah they took a bit of a spin with the character but it works when you think about it. We all know Deadpool under the mask looks pretty much like shit due to all the damage he's taken in fights and also because his cancer. If there happens to be a spin off, they can use what happen in Wolverine to explain why he looks that way without saying he's had cancer for years.

    Dude, no. What they did to that guy was total character assassination. They should've called him by a completely different name, since it in no way was the character who goes by that name in the comics.

     

     

    They'll have to explain why he can't shoot laser beams out of his eyes or teleport anymore but still has his healing powers but they can now explain his look a lot easier now.

    What?! No, this is NOT easier. "I have cancer. It's made me ugly." Presto, explanation over!

    And exactly how would he lose all those powers and regain the ability to speak? Yeah, I know there's some bullshit technobabble way to explain anything, but it'll still be a stretch. Also, if they're doing a Deadpool movie, the studio simply will not allow the guy to look like that for the entire movie. Regardless of the fact that the fanboys pay money to see the masked superheroes, the studios think that the audience really wants to see Tobey Maguire's face, so they use any excuse possible to take Spidey's mask off at the drop of a hat. They won't greenlight an entire movie starring Ryan Reynolds with him either hidden under a mask or under layers of prosthetic makeup throughout the entire film.

    He can already talk again. There's nothing to explain.

     

    How did they destroy Deadpool? He was exactly what Deadpool pretty much is. A smartass, fast talking, bad ass assassin. Yeah they made him into Weapon XI for about 20 minutes but it will explain his damaged look he has currently in the comics without having a whole lot of backstory and why wouldn't they want Deadpool to look like Deadpool in the comics with his mask off?

     

    That makes no sense. It's Marvel, other than Kingpin and a few others, they normally go for the look each of their characters have when they make a movie around that character. That's why they got Tobey Maguire to play Spiderman. He has the look Marvel wants for Peter Parker. That's why they got Hugh Jackman to play Wolverine and Robert Downey Jr. to play Tony Stark. They all look the part. Deadpool looks like shit under his mask, noticed that Deadpool/Weapon XI pretty much looked like shit due to all the experiments. Why is this such a big fuss?

    Regarding Deadpool

    And for those bitching that he didn't have a lot of time in the movie, shut up. The movie was about Wolverine, not Deadpool. I like Deadpool as much as the next guy but the movie wasn't about him. The way the movie introduced him and promoted the Deadpool character was fine enough. The movie really put him over as a badass fighter.

    It's sorta hard to say that I've never contributed anything since you've only been around since March, but with your answer I'm assuming you're one of the PBPs who got let back in here when Leena let the flood gates open. Which is just so very sad.

    Scroby, can you add something to any discussion anywhere? Are you actively trying to redefine uselessness?

    Yes and no, see the problem with you is that you don't say anything that can really start a discussion. See, you say stupid shit that makes no sense, so it's sorta hard for people to try and talk to you and when someone or many people try to tell you that your wrong and try to correct you, you tell the many people that they're all wrong and you're right and try to argue with something that really doesn't help your case. So maybe when you start adding to a discussion, you can complain. Until then, you suck as a poster and one of the many reasons why a shit load of people left.

    Wasn't there that news story going around a few years ago that the reason WWE kept holding the diva search was because they wanted the guys to have "fresh meat?" and management also enjoyed the "perks" of the competition? Mark Madden also wrote a piece for wrestlezone where he hinted a few of the divas on the roster were mainly around "for the guys" rather than contributing to the product.

    I thought the WWE supposedly kept the diva search girls separate from the wrestlers because they were flocking to them like crazy.

     

    Oh and Missy Hyatt is the all time winner.

     

    Though Maria is getting guys like crazy.

    The point is don't tease it. Just use him, don't do the whole tease angle of a former world champion who has no intentions of entering a ring again. When people hear former world champion coming to TNA I don't think they're hoping for someone who's retired. I never said don't mention he's a former world champion, just don't base a tease off of it. It's misleading.

    It's not misleading at all, you just think it's misleading because you have trouble grasping common sense when it comes to wrestling. Saying he's a former world champion that is coming to TNA is just promoting him as a former world champion that is coming to TNA. That's it, which could mean a ton of things. That's the entire point of speculation so the fans tune in to see who they're talking about. What's so hard for you to understand that?

  16. Posted · Report reply

    Really? I had no idea.

     

    My point was REGARDLESS, promoting and teasing a "former world champion coming to tna" should be used when promoting a guy who plans on wrestling. What's the impact of a "former world champion" coming to TNA if he's not going to compete? People hear champion, they think very high level of competition, getting a guy who has no plans of competing is destined to be a let down. Thanks for the kind words though.

    No it shouldn't be. It's describing the person he was. Why would TNA promote him as a former color commentator? Especially when he's going to be Joe's manager? When people think of a former world champion they could think of pretty much anyone who was a former world champion. That's the whole point of speculation. It's pretty much easy fucking common sense to grasp.

    So basically, he can't wrestle, would be a shell of his former self, but TNA still thinks advertising him as a "former world champion" won't give people the wrong idea? When you say "former world champion coming to TNA" it really should be a guy who plans on wrestling. More authority figures in TNA, exactly what they needed.

    That's cause he is a former world champion genius.

    I still can't believe the way they treated JBL. A loyal soldier getting humiliated in the industry's biggest event.

     

     

    1. They were running low on time for the Event.

    2. JBL was pretty banged up and injured. I do not think he could have taken too many bumps and I believe it was stated that he was fine with the way things went. He just wanted his last match to be at WrestleMania and in his homestate of Texas.

     

    They couldn't push it to a 4-5 minute match? 20 seconds is embarassing and someone of the stature of JBL deserved better as a farewell match in his home state. Sure, he didn't revolutionize the industry, but I'm not advocating him retiring with the belt either. A respectful last match would have been appropriate.

    Why are you bitching about it? JBL already said himself he was completely happy with the way things went down. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if JBL proposed the idea himself.

     

    "Completely happy"? It's called not burning your bridges in case future project doesn't work out.

    I'm sure wrestlers who are getting exposure on tv worldwide and getting paid pretty well so they can live and provide for their family are pretty happy losing a match instead of making a lot less on the indys.

    The WWE has one problem with squash matches;

     

    The smaller guy never even manages his offense. In a proper squash, the squashee unloads his offense to no avail. Either blocked or not as effective. It gets over the fact that even though guy A is 5 feet taller than guy b, guy b still has credibility for his size. If he uses those moves on smaller people they work, but because guy A is a giant, they don't.

     

    The WWE has trouble making anyone look good through losing. Which is odd because they made Flair look god-like in asking to be super-kicked and yet can't give me one reason to wanna see Kendrick on SD in a loss to Kane.

    There's no such thing as a "proper squash match". A squash match is a just a squash match and that's the bigger guy totally dominating the smaller guy in only a few minutes.

     

    And if a wrestler has trouble looking good while taking a lost, that's not the WWE's fault, that's the wrestler's fault.

     

    So by that logic, Rey vs Big Show, with Rey destroying Big Show with rights and lefts until Big Show pulls a sunset flip out of his ass to beat Rey, that would be a squash match? No.

     

    The goal is always to make both guys look credible, even if one is going to be destroyed. Giving guys 30 seconds and ZERO offense and telling him it's his fault if he doesn't look good is retarded. You have to highlight what difference is creating the squash, this is supposed to be a high level of competition, everyone should be bringing SOMETHING to the table. If a guy can't manage any offense at all people will wonder what the hell there even doing on TV.

    Are you fucking retarded? Do you not know how a squash match work? A squash match is only to make the winner look good. That's the entire point of a squash match.

     

    You just tried to take two different arguments and tried to make it into one argument. Why did you just try to do that?

    I am going to go with November 18th as to when TSM finally dies. It looks like it has began a slow painful death since April 1st. You can really tell that the traffic on the site has increased. It is sad to see the site that I have loved since 2002 is becoming extinct.

    They normally don't have people join their new shows until the week after the draft. I remember something like this happening last year.

     

    Worst case, everybody will settle in with news feuds on new shows after Backlash. Relax, everybody.

     

    Which is silly, since we already saw guys like Big Show who was drafted, competing for their new brand on Raw just minutes after their switch.

    Didn't they use the excuse last year that all drafted wrestlers from ECW or Smackdown would have to do the Smackdown or ECW that week then the move would be finalized?

    I am personally quite sick of seeing wrestlers on the main rosters being treated like absolute "Jobbers" to the Khalis, Kane, HHH's of the world. These wrestlers include Santino, Noble, Kendrick, etc. The WWE invests so much time and money into these wrestlers that it just seems silly and counter productive to have them go out there and look like scrubs who lose in 2 minutes. I do not think that they could go out and draw millions for the WWE but I do feel that they can lead to a better overall product.

     

    I understand that the Big Wrestlers have to go over convingly against the smaller wrestlers to make them (Kane, Knox, Khali etc) look intimidating. Wouldn't it make more sense to get an indy wrestler and pay them $200 or so to go out there and lose in 2 minutes. I am not looking for even steven booking were Wrestlers trade victories each week.

    If WWE got indy wrestlers all the time to be squashed, a good chunk of the roster would lose pay and also television time. Which would be bad. I'm pretty sure all those wrestlers who are losing in squash matches are quite happy being paid to be squashed and having a short night.
