I agree with this as well. Bring in some Japanese or Mexican workers to establish that the title is truly a WORLD title. You could even have clips of the champ defending the title in Mexico and Japan on the show to emphasize it. (Note: I'm a huge mark for the Tanaka vs. Awesome feud in ECW, so this would be great. Not to mention that most marks never saw that feud.)

I was thinking you could improve television production and hire better writers. And maybe better announcers.

So lets say TNA somehow starts making money. I don't care how, it's the fact that they're making money that is the point of the question. I can guess some responses, but I want to know what you think. What shoud TNA do first whenever they start making money? What do you think would help them the most? Okay......GO!

I know it's not a great source, but this was on Yahoo News: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/a...us_040713172320 ----------------- FRANKFURT (AFP) - DVDs will be obsolete in 10 years at the latest, Microsoft boss and founder Bill Gates predicted. Asked what home entertainment would like in the future, Gates said that DVD technology would be "obsolete in 10 years at the latest. If you consider that nowadays we have to carry around film and music on little silver discs and stick them in the computer, it's ridiculous," Gates said in comments reproduced in German in the mass-circulation daily Bild. "These things can scratch or simply get lost." Gates' vision of television of the future was: "TV that will simply show what we want to see, when we want to see it. When we get home, the home computer will know who we are from our voice or our face. It will know what we want to watch, our favourite programmes, or what the kids shouldn't be allowed to see." ------------- I don't know about everyone else, but I don't watch DVD's off my computer, so part of his argument is slightly flawed.

I watched it with a bunch of marks in a dorm, and all it got was laughter and the neverending quote of "Well, WHY THE FUCK DID YOU SLEEP WITH HIM THEN?" They also called her a slut, and a retard.

I see both sides to the argument, and I think both sides are right. I've never been much of a Bret mark, and as a Southerner, I grew up on Flair. I've realized that a lot of Flair's matches are "routine" matches, but mostly after he'd already established himself as a solid ME worker. If you watch most of his stuff from early on, he'll vary in his matches, but after the late eighties, its a lot of repetition. I would assume mostly age caused this, and learning what gets the best response out of the crowd. This is also a flaw of Foley's, ironically enough. Bret, though, is much like Benoit is his Old School passion and technical working style. No surprise, since they were both trained by Stu. The big problem is, though, that Bret doesn't admit that routine workers can draw just as much as technical wrestlers and character wrestlers. They may not understand the "proper" psychology, but I would say there are a lot of wrestlers that don't understand it anymore. Just watch WWE and see how many guys barely sell moves that were devestating ten years ago. It's the evolution of the sport, but it's also the degradation of it as well. I completely see how Flair could be a bastard (especially for the Owen remarks), but I can't say that Bret's 100% right either.

I'm with both of you in that I can't stand D-Ray, but at least the dude is doing it for the right reasons. I'd rather have someone I hate wrestling for the love of wrestling than someone I hate wrestling for the love of money. I can hate the guy all I want, but that reason alone makes me at least respect his desire.

That is quite possibly the longest post I've ever seen. And one of the most amusing. Thank you, LAZ

Who said it was WWE's idea? Maybe it was his?

I would like to add that when I was a kid, I saw Flair and AA vs Sting and Lex Luger in a cage match. That sounded better before I typed it.

Dude, D-RAY 3000 is just a jobber in a jobber tag team now if for example he was like the WWE's Eugene and almost in every segment including the Main Event I could see your complaint but he's not. Also sinces he's with Sharkboy, he will probaly either die or be fired. Which would I prefer? die or fired? Man, tough choice.

Stick to 5 a year IMO. Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, King of the Ring, Summerslam, Survivor Series. Those were the days....of course the 4 PPV's a year scenario wasn't too bad either. I would have to agree... to a point. I would say do four seperates a year, and then Wrestlemania and Survivor Series as joint PPVs. It would give them more money, and allow for the seperate PPV's so each brand can have their own PPV's

Now, yes. It used to be more quality music and less shitty "pop/rock." But ever since Dashboard Confessional and the other shitty "Pop Punk" bands showed up, they've been labeled emo. That's why there's quotations around the emo. It's become just a bunch of pretty boys whining about how they can't get laid. Consider, though, the amount of records sold in 1969 in proportion to the amount of records sold in the 1990's. Back then selling 100,000 records was HUGE. I would consider it equivalent to selling a million now. The fact that Johnny Cash did things his way was what made him so good. The reason his sales dropped in the 80's is because he listened to the record labels and did what they wanted instead of what he wanted. His last four albums and the box set released post-mortem show that when he made music "his way" he could still make phenomenal music. Johnny Cash is a legend, and you don't get much bigger than that.

But....But..... He's tagging with SHARKBOY!!!! Doesn't that mean ANYTHING?

Did they give any reason?

My God, I have never seen two men be more gay in my life.

I missed that so I could watch RAW that Monday night. You saw a MOTY candidate, I saw La Resistance win a flag match. Color me disappointed. Also saw: Scott Steiner turn on Buff Bagwell on Nitro.

The point was that I so dislike the name "Baby Bear" that I would prefer him being "The Next," even though I dislike that name. It had nothing to do with where the name came from.

His manager is Goldylocks. Get it now? ... *Groan.* What is it with TNA and stupid names? I mean, I like the fact that they're using Shelley, especially since he'll still be working RoH, but come on now, BABY BEAR? Yeah, I would prefer "The Next" to "Baby Bear" anyday. *cough this is not Ring Of Honor, TNA could care less what they do cough* *cough THAT'S NOT THE FUCKING POINT cough*

Couldn't you say the same about the "emo" bands that have been out the past year or two? (All American Rejects, etc...)

Gay day?

I would have to agree Voice. At least before Shamrock it had the semblance of JJ vs. Truth, with JJ vs Russo as the side feud, but now it's a giant blender of bad booking, and the Smoothie can't taste good. Nothing that they are doing at the moment will come out on the positive end. I would love to see them sort this all out and start telling us the story in the ring and in backstage interviews. Having West and Tenay and the Videos in commercial breaks in Impact do it isn't enough.

I would think that the two would get mixed together somehow. (who says we don't see the negative in TNA booking)
