Sandman has announced his retirement according to several wrestling sites. He'll finish out any dates booked or any dates booked for him within the next few weeks I guess.
-
I know it more than likely won't happen, but I would love to see Shamrock get one more win and call it a day. You can see he still wants it, but you can also see he's way past it.

Pretty decent Jeff Jarrett interview promoting Bound For Glory IV.
-
I'm having a problem with my ps3 now too. A clear bar will run up and down the screen when its on, and it has a loud obnoxious buzzing sound at all times. I'm sending it in tomorrow, but was wondering if anyone knew if this is something I can fix myself?
-
I liked the Thomas Jane Punisher, and was hoping he'd stick around for the sequel. I read in an interview he got sick of waiting for things to get moving on it.
-
The kid in that video is mouthing something to either yoko or the referee after the match when Yoko is still sitting on him like "Get him off of me". It almost looks like he's trying to muscle Yoko up a bit.

That's pretty cool that TNA's buyrates are growing like that even though they have a long way to go. Thanks for the info guys. Bound For Glory this year has potential to get a great buyrate atleast with the top two matches.

Does anyone hear read the Highlander comic thats been out a year or so now? Also did anyone read the old X-Files comic books? I was thinking of picking the trade paper backs for those.

Wasn't Sting's return to TNA at Final Resolution 06 one of TNA's biggest buyrates if not the biggest one with like 55,000 buys?I remember the only other show to come close or pass it(I never could find what the final buyrate was from searching) was Bound For Glory 06 with Sting headlining with Jarrett and Kurt Angle making his TNA ppv debut. All the ppvs last year peaked with like 36,000 or lower.
I'm not trying to spark the debate over whether Sting or Angle are the bigger draws because each guy has a strong case. I've been watching since the 80s so Sting is a bigger star to me, but with his Olympic status and WWE run Angle is probably a bigger star to the current group of fans. My question is does anyone know what TNA's highest buyrate was?

I don't know if I missed it posted in another thread, but Muta is now both the Triple Crown and IWGP champion.
-
These are some of the best promos I've ever seen from Sting, and Samoa Joe seems to be upping his game a bit as well in the promo department. I'm hoping Joe and Sting can deliver in the match.
-
I was just thinking the other day that an easy way to make Sting's heel turn flow a bit better would be for him to go without the paint and change the attire a bit. Maybe go to long black tights with a white scorpion. If he doesn't want to get rid of the paint even changing it up might work.

Good Sting interview from about 2003-2005. Sting is a little more candid in responses than his usual interviews he's given over the years.

I have a large collection of wrestling dvds, which as you mentioned most of us do. I also have some old wwf tv dinner trays(ultimate warrior, hogan, one with several stars). I have an old nwa road warriors bandana. Used to have a large boxed wrestling figure collection, but sold it a few years ago. I still have some loose figures. Bunch of posters and old magazines, Sting foam finger. Large wcw wrestling shirt collection. Replica WCW big gold belt with Sting nameplate and signed Sting marble plaque. Old wrestling stuffed animals from early 90s and late 90s. I've always wanted to start a larger collection and display it, but for now its boxed up.
-
Jarrett always came off to me as more of a natural heel, which is why the whole time he was being passionate about his bullshit I wanted Sting or Angle to deck him. But I will agree it was a hell of a promo on Jarrett's part. One of his better promos I've heard.
-
Really good album from Metallica. Although I've never really hated the stuff they've put out after the black album. Load and Reload are actually albums I still like to pop in to this day. St. Anger was pretty much shit though. Unnamed Feeling and All Within My Hands were probably the only good songs off of that one.
-
I just read a report from another site that says Batista is getting away with this due to his popularity internationally. It was said that he's THE most popular guy internationally, and they don't want to lose him due to that.
-
So let me ask this. I just recently started watching the X-Files and I'm currently on season 3 and saw the two movies. Will I like this show if I like X-Files or is this something completely different?
-
I always thought Palumbo would make a good mid-card to upper mid-card talent if allowed to be himself rather than a gimmick with a six month shelf life. I know he's not wonderful at any one aspect, but he's decent at pretty much every aspect. London can probably make a good living in ROH, indys, and internationally.

I enjoyed that little brawl between Sting and Samoa Joe.
hoping Christian takes the belt

Dexter, Californication, True Blood, Sons of Anarchy for now.

My personal suggestions based on guys I like would be to track down early Sting matches such as the matches vs Flair, Rude, Vader, Cactus Jack, and Muta. Hell, go track down his three matches with Regal from the early 90s, you should be able to find all three if you can find one. Even some of his stuff in the late 90s vs Goldberg, DDP(Monday Nitro in 99 or 00), Bret Hart(WCW Mayhem). Sting has never really lost his athletic ability, but used it to his advantage in the early 90s. His work in the late 80s to mid 90s, the crow angle, and his stuff in TNA are why he's my favorite wrestler.
The Cactus Jack vs Vader matches are all pretty interesting to watch. They were different from a lot of what was going on back in the early 90s.
Steven Regal(William) in the 90s was a treat to watch even though his recent work is fun to watch as well. His brawls and matches with the Belfast Bruiser(Finlay) are all fun to watch.
I believe Ricky Steamboat and Rick Rude had a good 30 minute Ironman match at one of the Beach Blast ppvs.
I have more suggestions that I may post, hope I helped.

Sting, Flair, and Vader wouldn't have been pushed out of the spotlight. Sting probably would still have went to a darker character, but with less success due to no nWo. Steve Austin might have ended up staying in WCW. A lot of guys would have been given a chance to shine, but WCW might have ended up shutting a lot earlier.

Yeah I have the WCW magazine with that image on the back cover. I always wondered what if.
