Looks like they're starting to get some momentum with real good numbers for house shows as well. Hopefully they could get close to a sellout for Lockdown.

Tenay: "To the back with JB!"

That and the fact that they insist on trying to explain angles fifty different ways instead of letting the action speak for itself.

Is it just me or do Tenay and West just kill any logical angles TNA does with their over-the-topness?

I was watching the sit-down interview segment with Rhino and Christian and the one thing that stuck out to me is friggin Tenay. Before the interview starts, Tenay sternly warns Christian that if this is some kind of setup to emberass Rhino then it will be the last time Christian is allowed on his interview set. Jeez since when do interviews threaten wrestlers?

Not if they play it off the right way. During the first match they have Sting close to winning the match when Joe squeeks out a victory out of nowhere. Sting goes on to say that he doesn't think Joe really has "it" and that the victory was a fluke. THey have the second match and Joe beats Sting decisively with a Sting initiated handshake after.

They should have Sting come in and put Joe over strong, maybe two PPV's in a row. They could do a deal where Sting has the belt won at the first PPV but Joe pulls it out with a roll-up or something. Sting can go on to question whether Joe is the real deal, etc. Have them fight a month later with Joe going over decisively with a handshake at the end. Maybe feed him Booker T after that.

A fish-market street fight? Brilliant!

I never said it made sense.

I guess the idea is that the kid keeps getting picked on cuz he's gay so he's trying to learn to defend himself.

How about a fishing pole on a pole match? First person to retrieve the the pole and "hook" their opponents with it is declared the winner.

So let's see...we have a streetfight, a firstblood match, a sixteen man battle royal, and a six sides of steel rematch of the last PPV with no build up. Sounds about right.

I agree completely. Some of the shitty stuff they do is made that much worse with Tenay and West trying to sell it.

Don't know if anyone caught this but there was a hilarious moment in the Smackdown chamber where Taker dragged Batista back-first on the concrete floor of the chamber and Batista started screaming and shaking like he was having a seizure. I probably watched that part five times.

Any truth to this or more Hogan talk?

So those two idiots, Tenay and West, can tell us a million times that Rellik is Killer spelled backwards.

They should get rid of Tenay and let Hudson to the play by play.

That SEX period was actually some decent TV compared to the stuff they're doing now.

The one good thing about him was that there was less yelling by West but IIRC Sadler didn't provide anything of substance.

Have you seen his commentary from the FSN days?

So after months and months of complaints about that announce team they bring in Hermie Fucking Sadler. Not a wrestler that could actually add some color to the show...Hermie Sadler. Unbelievable.

He'll probably just appear in a random backstage segment and not even be named ala Matt Morgan.

I can't think of anyone they have who could sell a storyline better than Nash. Say what you want about his wrestling skills but the guy is a pretty good actor.

Styles/Tazz look like Gorilla/Heenan compared to Tenay and West.
