It's probably just a chance for the writers to see who's still on the roster.

I keep hearing people refering to TNA having a new CEO. But I havent seen anything anywhere. Can someone please elaborate on this story, and what it means for TNA?

The Unreal Story Of Professional Wrestling will be on A&E tomorrow night. "From George Washington and Abraham Lincoln (yes, they were wrestlers!) to turn-of-the-century legitimate bouts to the theatricality of Gorgeous George and the new breed of unabashed bashers like Iron Claw and Brain Buster, we'll go to the mat for a history of one of America's favorite secret passions in this 2-hour special presentation." " It is the favorite entertainment of millions of Americans. Countless others revile it as a cast-off blend of showmanship and sports, built on the worst elements of each. Whatever your opinion, there is no denying that professional wrestling is here to stay. Go behind the scenes and into the ring in this hard-hitting expose of the multi-million dollar industry that is growing more popular every year. How did a sport enjoyed by both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln become transformed into a spectacle dominated by men like Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan? THE UNREAL STORY OF PRO WRESTLING interviews performers, promoters, fans and psychologists to get to the bottom of this phenomenon. Extensive footage of matches through the years shows the changing face of the "sport" that is more truly spectacle, where audiences do not care if the outcome is predetermined as long as the match is entertaining."

The same reason bars have female mud wrestling. I hope your not judging the work rate and giving those star ratings too.

Great, here's to more Lance Hoyt/Naturals t.v. time.

Crap that sucks.

lol, I think that can work. I'd like to see Aries come out each week with a new look trying to find the "look" that stands out. He can come out in face paint one week and so on. Shelley can go full on "American Beauty" with the camera, and they can run a concussion gimmick with Sabin where either he believes he is an alien or that he was abducted by aliens.

This is more of a message board thing but... The fans who go into a ppv/show thread while it's happening and go on about some unrelated topic, quoting each other back and forth in some great debate, all while you're trying to find out whats going on during the show. On a related note, people trying to "win the RAW thread" and posting what they think is really funny, and the 3 other people who found it funny trying to top it.

I just have a bad feeling Stings return will be caused by Jarrett screwing over Christian and getting the title back. I can possibly even see it being an injury angle.

Shelton will screw Big Show out of the tournament, for payback.

Thanks for posting, Joe's story was pretty funny.

Sabin looks like a Killer Bee with a Nascar jacket on.

The Spirit Squad The Dicks The Hearthrobs Rob Conway Sylvian Orlando Jordan FromBeyondTheGrave

And are apparently gay. In fact are you Orlando Jordan?

I just hope it remains just a little joke, and he doesn't keep wearing that crap.

72. He says "the champ is here" and he also says "you can't see me" Confusing me as to whether or not I can see him or not. 73. People judge his boos and cheers every week based on the deepness of them. 74. He botches moves almost as much as AJ Styles, but he isn't doing anything phenomenal that warrants it.

I'm pretty sure Styles dropped the F-bomb right after Cena & Maria won. "Who the F**K"

Did anybody else hear Joey Styles yell out "Who The F**k" after Maria got the pin?

Does anybody know what ever happened to Vladimir Petrov(Al Blake)? He was an evil russian with Ivan Kolloff. He was a huge dude, but did he ever wrestler as any other gimmicks?

Shelton vs RVD for the IC strap at Wrestlemania? I sure as hell hope so. Give at least 15-20 minutes and wrestlemania is saved. Ok maybe not but it's a good start.

I have a bunch of old Wrestlemania III trading cards, one of the cards is of Smash and the picture on the card is Culley. He was a lot chunkier than Darsow.

Damn, fat girls have some power when it comes to putting The Hardy's back on T.V.

Some info I found for anyone who cares. Al Blake broke into wrestling in February 1987 for the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions. He was called Vladimir Petrov, "The Russian Assassin". He had been hired to go after Nikita Koloff for turning on Ivan Koloff. He was also brought in to replace Krusher Khruschev, who had left for the WWF (World Wrestling Entertainment). He was big and had a shaved head and red beard. He looked menacing and Ivan Koloff told RF Video during a shoot interview that he once backed down his boss, Jim Crockett, Jr., with a cold stare. Vladimir and Ivan feuded with Nikita for several months and had many "Russian Chain Matches". Petrov could never beat Nikita though. They were joined by Dick Murdoch in April and managed to "injure" Nikita's neck. Petrov and Ivan also had matches withe the Rock 'N Roll Express. In late 1987, Ivan and Petrov became members of Paul Jones' stable. Petrov feuded with Ron Garvin but lost that feud too. He was clumsy and he did not get much of a push. Petrov also went to the Universal Wrestling Federation briefly to feud with "Dr. Death" Steve Williams over the UWF Title. Near the end of 1987, Petrov disappeared from television and was not mentioned. He had been caught selling drugs and sent to prison. In 1991, Blake wrestled in the WWF as himself. He was only used as a jobber and by 1992, he was retired for good. Profile Height: 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) Weight: 285 lb Birthday: 1961 Hometown: Minneapolis, Minnesota Other Gimmicks: Vladimir Petrov Managers: Ivan Koloff, Paul Jones Trainer: Ivan Koloff Finishing Maneuver: Russian Sickle Clothesline Trivia Al was a bouncer before becoming a wrestler. As Vladimir Petrov, he helped Ivan defend the NWA United States Tag Team Titles that Ivan and Dick Murdoch had won together. Murdoch had been suspended and Ivan needed a partner. That was the closest that Al came to championship gold. It was rumored that Al had Mafia connections, but that rumor does not appear to be true. At one time, Al managed a supermarket in the Minneapolis area.

I marked out when Nikita Kolloff showed up.

It's gonna seem real dumb if Lita joins Cena after he's been calling her a ho for 3 weeks.
