You gotta remember, TNA doesn't pay most of their employees enough to make a living. Roxxi has to supplement her income with a busy indy show schedule. (Which TNA takes a 25% cut from, like with all their wrestlers' indy pay.) Don't you think some indy promoters wouldn't want to book the hot chick anymore since she's bald now? Maybe they gave her a massive bonus to lose her hair, but I doubt it. Keep in mind this is the same company which fucked with injured wrestlers over the money they needed for surgery while simultaneously paying more money than any wrestler ever got to a felonious football player who literally stood around and did nothing. True, but in theory this will lead to angle that will give Roxxi more exposure. With more exposure, she can increase her asking price on the indy scene or even get a better contract from TNA themselves. So even if she gets less bookings, it's possible she can earn more money per booking. Personally, I'm intrigued by the angle and I want to see where it goes. It has a great deal of potential. Also, Jingus, all I ever see you do in this forum is post about how much you HATE, HATE, HATE TNA. Now, criticizing the promotion is one thing, there's lots of things to criticize them over, but you just seem to flat out dislike anything the promotion does. So why do you continue to post in here? I'm honestly curious.

Looks like my usual stream place got shut down or something, so if anyone has a link to a stream I'd appreciate it. PM me if you need to.

I just finished watching Mick Foley's "The Loved One". It was the greatest wrestling related thing I've ever seen. That is all.

I see Val as a modern Brooklyn Brawler of sorts. Not spectacular, but undoubtedly solid and an awesome barometer of talent. If you can't look competent in the ring with Val then you're not ready for TV/to be pushed. No, Val will be a guy who'll be on the roster forever, then finally retire and immediately become a Road Agent/Producer.

I think they got divorced some two or three years ago. It was shortly after Kidman got released. Either way, they haven't been together for a while, she dates Nick Nemeth now I think?

I created a CB, Wanderlei Anderson, so go ahead and send him a contract.

I started playing WoW recently and after an initial love of the game, I find myself rarely playing it. Just don't have the time or attention span to play it. Also, 909, they tend to expand the world every other free expansion or so. So, about every 4-6 months. They just recently added a new area to the game with the last one. They're also supposed to be adding the Mines of Moria in the Mines of Moria expansion pack coming in the fall. So...yeah.

Well, if we need more human characters, I can use some of my FP to create some just so we have some more warm bodies. Just tell me what positions you want, Ced.

I won't particularly miss Coach, since I wasn't a big fan of his work, but I won't be glad to see him leave. I will remember him for being part of my favorite WWE backstage segment ever. It was him and Shelton walking down a hall talking about African-Americans in wrestling and even though it was only a few seconds, I thought it was really compelling. I'd love to see it again. But anyways, I wish him good luck at ESPN.

Good win for us, with my QB having a damn near flawless game. Also, I was looking through the other games played and in the South America AAA Zeta League, the Bela Horizonte Miners beat the Colorado Springs Fish, 107 to 0.

There's that new gimmick match that they're working on that's supposed to be for the X-Division workers. Some sort of crazy cage or something. Anyways, if Petey has to vacate the title due to his injury, they could just put the title up for grabs in this new match. Though that's depending on if they're going to have the match at Sacrifice or if they'll wait for one that isn't already loaded with gimmick matches.

I guess I'll toss mine out there. Gamertag: AlaskanHeroRyu

As a Bengals fan, I'm going to hate on the Saints for a good while. I really cannot stress how much I was hoping the Bengals would be able to get Sedrick Ellis.

His energy after the game was no less than after any other game, in the 80s. The sub may not have been a glitch since it came at the very end of the 4th quarter, but it definitely cost us the game.

A very surprising and disappointing loss. Outside of their passing for nearly 400 yards, we completely outperformed them.

That would indeed be awesome. But that's something I've been saying for a while, West and Tenay need a heel out there to at least take the pressure off of them to talk about everything. Let West be the face announcer, a heel as your color guy, and Tenay as the Professor who calmly rattles off move names, promotions, and dates and whatnot. Basically what he did in WCW. In the short run, making them quiet down a bit would do everyone a lot of good.

I also need to throw for a TD at some point. That'd help things a lot. I'm working on that though.

I don't know which amuses me more; the fact that Mayweather has a jeweled chalice or the fact that there was actually liquid in it.

Wow, Chavo got jobbed right the fuck out. That was honestly pretty amusing.

I have to say, if TNA fucks this up we'll probably look back at either this or Destiny (or maybe both) as the biggest fuck ups the company ever made. More so than the stupid/pointless angles, "mainstream" celebrities brought in to bump ratings, and the countless hirings of Vince Russo. The match needs to end with Joe choking out Angle, indisputably clean, in the middle of the ring. At most, maybe have Angle pass out, fighting it, to keep him strong and maybe set up a rematch down the line with the roles switched. Now, if Joe does win, it's not like you'd have to look far for challengers. Everyone in the Lethal Lockdown match, except Team 3D, could feasibly be positioned as challengers to Joe, either by turning Joe, turning the challenger, or by making them Face/Face "Respect" matches. Then you have a bunch of other guys not in the LL match that could be fed to Joe. Roode, Booker T, Steiner, all could be used as guys for Joe to get some wins to help get him some momentum as champ. Personally, I want Joe/Tomko.

Geez, I really hope Joe wins now. Steiner/Angle wasn't very good at all, but Steiner/Joe was a lot of fun. Combine that with the fact that Steiner's been looking pretty good, ring-wise and the two could have a pretty good match. They're probably pushing Morgan to try and get some AG publicity. I don't see it working. Just like everything else TNA has tried concerning getting into mainstream media. Not saying it's a bad idea, just that it probably won't work. I expect the Team Cgae shirt to be very generic. I'd love it if it was just a white t-shirt with "TEAM CAGE" written on it in marker. The spoilers themselves don't sound particularly compelling, but I'll probably still watch because I'll have nothing better to do. And what exactly gives Matt Morgan authority to add people to PPV main event matches? Isn't he just a bodyguard in kayfabe?

I too am curious about how Creed will do as a singles wrestler. He did pretty well during Bound for Glory and he really impressed me. Now to what I really wanna talk about. Personally, I think TNA desperately needs a midcard, IC/US type title for the mass of midcarders they have on the roster. Robert Roode is a perfect example. Roode is a guy who I think is very talented and a wonderful talent for TNA, however he is not a guy that needs to be ANYWHERE near the world title. He's the kind of guy I would give the IC title to and let him run with it. It's the same with a lot of guys on the TNA roster. Theyre all, for the most part, good talents, but they aren't guys who really need to be wrestling for the world title. At least not yet. James Storm, Hernandez, Kaz, they're guys I'd want to hold the midcard title for a while until I felt they were ready to move up. As is, IMO, Storm and maybe even Kaz are guys who are really close to being bonafide ME'ers, but just need some decisive, meaningful wins before they get thrust in there with the Stings, Christian Cages, Kurt Angles, and Samoa Joes; wins they would get from holding an upper to mid card title.

I created a QB, Geru Ortega, so you can feel free to trade for me if you want.

I also predict that Orton will book Cena/HHH to main event tonight. However, I also predict he'll say something along the lines of "Unlike my opponent at Wrestlemania, John Cena, I WILL take the night off". Cena will cut a promo reminding us he beat HHH before. HHH will hint that it won't happen again. The match will happen and HHH will Pedigree Cena. It will be then that Orton runs in and hits HHH with an RKO for the DQ. Cena will then get up and eat an RKO. Orton will stand tall, but then he'll get dropped with a Pedigree. HHH will end the show standing over his opponents and JR will hard sell next week by screaming "By gawd, what'll happen next week when The Game controls Raw!?". I'm curious how close or far off my predictions will be.

I think the angle is good little bit of television and I'd like to get emotionally invested in it, everyone involved is doing such a good job in their roles. However, I've been trained to expect a swerve. I just know I'll be pissed at the ending, so I'm not going to bother and get worked up over it.
