It's because his entire gimmick is just doing an impression of another, more famous wrestler. Should Stone Cold Sharkboy get a push too? As long as Lethal is doing Black Machismo with Savage's outfits and moves and voice, no, he's never ever going to be taken seriously as a top guy. There's a difference between just stealing some shit that works from somebody else, like Ric Flair did from Buddy Rogers or every effeminate heel ever did from Gorgeous George, and entirely basing your whole act 100% on someone else's very well-known persona. It would take more than "tweaking" the Macho Man gimmick, he's eventually going to have to dump the entire thing.

In the words of Denis Leary, "This guy's HEAD would make an excellent bong, man!"

That's the thing, what can Roxxi do to Love to actually get a proportionate amount of revenge? I doubt TNA would have Love's head get shaved too, just doesn't seem like something they'd do. Just beating her in a PPV match, who cares, Roxxi's already done that before. I guess she could beat Love for the title... but that requires Awesome Kong to lose the belt to fucking Angelina Love. Really, aside from powerbombing Love through a flaming table, another thing TNA wouldn't do, there's nothing Roxxi can possibly do to get even.

Dude. You called his longterm romantic partner "crazy" and asked what it was like to fuck her. That is in no way an acceptable or polite thing to ask a complete stranger.

From the Observer, about the May 1st episode of Impact: Not saying that Eric = Ratings, but he's not driving people away. He's a good wrestler and a charismatic talker. Of all the things I hate about TNA, Eric Young ain't one of them. No it is not. Kaz is a generic worker with no apparent special qualities, so his Orlando popularity and continued semi-push confounds me. Not as much as the insane nonstop push of Robert Roode, but... ah, there I go again with teh bitching.

The only time in the past several weeks that a non-Knockout segment got the highest ratings, it involved Eric. I think the gimmick is goofy, but it appears to be over with the TNA fanbase both in Orlando and on television. He's certainly more charismatic than Kaz. The fact that this is a joke doesn't change the fact that TNA actually does shit like this all the time. And people ask why I'm so negative so often about this company. Also true. Gail gets title shots all the time. Why not just let her friend Roxxi win, since her own hair wasn't on the line, and her current feud rival's was? That's kinda depressing. Partly for using the Mama Shango gimmick on the indies, partly because last time I saw their product, LLF was... not very good.

Are you sending the one asking what it was like fucking his wife?

Seriously, I'd have to think about it. The facial piercings, the skunk-dyed hair, the rock-hard implants, the poser punk-wannabe outfits, the anorexia... she's about the least attractive woman I've ever seen who was hired for her looks. Plus in the middle of the sex she'd somehow fall off your dick and get injured.

Really? Huh. I was misinformed. Admittedly I don't pay much attention to any puro these days, let alone indy puro. I do wonder why, if they changed the name specifically because he wasn't involved anymore, why they changed it to something with Dragon in the title.

No, I'd say the main problem here is that Nielsen ratings have shown that segments primarily featuring Love and Sky actually lose viewers. They're the only women on the show who don't get the highest ratings for their segments. That suggests that it's not just the Orlando crowd who doesn't give a shit about them. It would still be stupid, but it being a woman makes it worse. But I've never seen the point of most hair matches anyway, it seems such a random stipulation which has nothing to do with actual wrestling. Plus, it panders to the very worst of the lowest common denominator in sideshow freakism; "hey, watch someone have their body get involuntarily violated right in front of you!". But at least most hair matches come out of some kind of heated long-running blood feud. In this one, a woman was forcibly shaved bald... because Jim Cornette said that the knockouts were getting bitchy and he wanted to take them down a peg? What?! They never even attempted to build up anything like that on television. It makes absolutely no sense. Especially since the one who got shaved was the least egotistical one in the storyline, an introverted loner who was only recently brought out of her shell when the crowd suddenly got behind her, and has been bullied by the actual egotistical bitches ever since then. Seriously, what's Cornette's storyline justification for shaving this girl? I agree with those points. Although Meltzer did have a plausible explanation why Steiner lost, saying he thought the paying viewers would've been pissed if random fill-in Kaz had done the job instead of someone who was actually advertised in the match. But in terms of furthering storylines, it does kinda take the wind out of the sails of the Steiner/Joe feud by having Scott lose (again) in his first title shot.

Because there is stuff I like about this company. Primarily, the Knockouts division. As long as they're not doing dumbass shit like this. (Like, a week ago, the Daizee Haze/Cheerleader Melissa match was the highest rated segment on the entire show; hey, two good wrestlers wrestling draws, who'da thunk it!) TNA has all the ingredients it needs to be a truly first-rate wrestling promotion, so it's beyond frustrating when they somehow manage to fuck it all up nearly every time. One problem with the "exposure" arguement: she doesn't wrestle as Roxxi Laveaugh on the indies. She works as Nikki Roxx, under a straight wrestling gimmick.

It shouldn't be given a chance. It's gratuitous, offensive, mind-boggling bullshit. The Orlando crowd was completely correct in their assessment.

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.

Have I mentioned recently that I firmly believe that the entire world would be made a significantly better place if Vince Russo were slowly choked to death by the feces of an AIDS-infected chimpanzee? No? Just thought that needed saying. I think I quite succinctly described this match's outcome way back a month ago when the stipulation was first announced:

Didn't they already kinda make one with that thing called Wake Up, Ron Burgundy, apparently a whole different Anchorman movie put together with dropped subplots and outtakes from the first film? I kinda wanted to see that, but oddly have never seen it around anywhere. You'd think they would've pushed it harder to make some easy free money off the footage they'd already shot.

Not even remotely a friend, just some douchebag I was forced to share a video production class with. (One time I got stuck on a group project with this cockknocker and some of his similarly intelligent buddies; let's just say I ended up going off by myself and writing, shooting, and editing the whole thing with zero help or input from them.) Yes, he made that statement in a perjorative manner.

Dragon's full time job is still running Dragon Gate (the promotion formerly known as Toryumon) and their training school iirc, but he still occasionally works Mexico, Japan, or American indies when he is paid enough[/i] feels like it.

I'm glad that Speed Racer ain't doing so well, and surprised that Harold & Kumar didn't do better.

Watch Imaginary Heroes, it'll help dispell the hatred.

This alone is a valid reason to kick this guy's ass. "This is my wife, Shaniqua." "Why don't we lynch negroes like we used to?"

Reminds me of a guy back in school, bout a decade ago, who insisted that Scream was the greatest movie in history and dismissed Schindler's List as "a bunch of skinny naked people running and dying". Sometimes I just want to use a razor-edged clapboard as a guillotine on people like that.

You do know the Truth commercials are produced by the tobacco companies themselves (as a requirement of one of the big lawsuits they lost) and are shrill and annoying on purpose in an attempt to piss people off against the anti-smoking movement, right?

So why did I laugh so much? Truthfully the only ones I had much of a problem with here were Topher Grace, the zillion nominations for Transformers, and the entire concept of the Best Summer Movies category where you can vote for or against something you can't have possibly seen.

I actually found Taiga's description of the Northeast interesting, since I've never been to an entire section of the country which was like that. I've mostly lived in suburbs my whole life, but I've never been more than maybe an hour's drive from some sort of undeveloped wilderness. Even in the heart of downtown Atlanta it doesn't take overly long to get to some Deliverance backwoods. Man, you've put a lot of thought into this. That's creepy, dude. Not that I'm trying to be critical of you... I'll just back away slowly here... please don't kill me Really? Heh. Wacky.
