If this is indeed true, this will be my first TNA PPV purchase.
-
That info doesn't usually come out for a couple days after the show I think.
-
I agree that there is something peculiar about a feud where both guys are affiliatied in some way shape or form with the same label.
-
I too missed Raw live (Tivo'd it) in favor of watching Game 7. Sorry Raw.
-
Game boy thumb- former Sacramento King Lionel Simmons.
-
Never say never in wrestling, HartFan. Forever Hardcore is the non WWE Documentary about ECW being released this Friday. There is a thread started by me on it in General Wrestling about it.
-
Yeah, it's just a difference of what we are seeing. I haven't watched Heat or Velocity in about 4 years. While I know that Heat has nameless, faceless jobber types, since I don't watch them at all, my perception of a jobber are the guys who don't win or aren't pushed on the main TV shows.

WWE "official" explanation- How can we compete with the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, game 7? Hell, even we were watching ?!!?!
-
The term jobber, as used by me, is meant as losers. Not nameless jobbers, but guys who are not percieved as winners. In this day and age, there aren't really nameless, faceless jobbers like in the past. I percieve Raw midcard guys to be Shelton, Jericho, Hassan, Kane. Guys who are either in contention for the IC title or could have a World title match as the ME of a Raw with the champ. During the Raw/ECW confrontation, the only person percieved as anything in the fans eyes is Edge, and to a degree Christian. Christian is basically a loser who happens to have entertaining promos and is over, but he hardly wins matches. Tomko, Snitsky, and Maven are crap. Compare those names to Angle, JBL and his Cabinet, Carlito, and the Raw side didn't really throw out there best names to help get ECW over.

More from Allhiphop.com about the beef.... "The Game seems to be preparing part two of his offensive against 50 Cent and G-Unit. The Compton-bred rapper has stated that he’s prepping a song that will “kill mother f***ers this time around.” Via his Black Wall Street site, Game stated, “About a week and a half from hittin’ the net [is] the title track ‘300 Bars N Running.’ The song will be released by this Tuesday or Wednesday! Once again, I will be ending careers with this one! Also included will be audio from Hot 97 Summer Jam in New York City.” In related news, 50 Cent is rumored to be planning his retaliation through the Anger Management Tour, which launches July 7 in Noblesville, IN."

Isn't Tenay with TNA though? Unless I've missed something. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He is still with TNA, but that doesn't mean I can't want him to do broadcasts for WWE. TNA is will be finished before the year is out, hopefully WWE can get their heads out of their asses and throw this guy some money to do their shows. Lawler or Cole, doesn't matter to me, just get this guy in there for one of them is all I ask.
-
Actually Game has beef with Suge Knight as well, although I heard it kind of cooled off a bit since the smallest infraction will send Knight back to the slammer.
-
Lawler is lame. I was so sad to see him return after he was fired for sticking up for Stacy Carter. Very upsetting because he has gotten worse over the last 3 years. I disagree with you Hartfan. The only improvement I've seen Cole go from was God awful to just plain awful. He still fucks up move names and just sounds very generic. If this is his best, and I think it is since he's been the announcer since SD has been on, he needs to go. If Tenay or Styles were to come in and they'd have to fire Cole, I'd have no problem with that, not one bit. He's terrible. Just my opinion, but I'd rather them take a guy like Tenay or Styles or hell, develop someone new who I've never heard. Anyone but that schmuck.
-
It's why people are questioning Cleveland's sanity in trying to hire Larry as president instead of as a coach. Larry is a great coach, but I'm not so sure about his ability to evaluate young, key word young, developing talent and he's not very patient. Larry seems more successful when guys are already sound and just need direction.
-
At least the ECW guys are given a chance to go over some decent names like JBL, Angle, even Carlito as opposed to the debacle on Monday where it was pretty much the Job Squad getting laid out by ECW.
-
I wonder how a pairing of Joey Styles with Mike Tenay would sound? I can tell you that while they may not have chemistry, they'd be upgrades over hacks like Lawler and Cole.
-
It's a term. "Eat off off" is the equivelent of make money from.
-
The problem with Yayo is he is the most real of that whole crew. He's the real thug in that group that will do at least half the shit they rap about while the rest are just talk. A guy like that probrably won't be available as much because they are always in court, locked up, etc. Seems most crews nowadays have that one guy that really will do some shit if it comes down to it. Black Child from Murder Inc. comes to mind.
-
Yeah, Em would probrably side with his money since he gets a producers credit from 50's work. As for Dre, who knows where he stands. I'll say I think Em and Dre probrably think 50 is a little out of line getting mad at Game just because he is cool with Jada and Nas. I mean, Em is cool with them too, but you don't see 50 giving it to Em, yet that is. I think 50 is a pretty smart dude and isn't trying to bite the hand that feeds him while he sees Game as his guy and that he should fall in line and not oppose the so-called "general". Still, this has to upset the structure they have set up where Dre eats off of Em(though not as much anymore), Em eats off 50, and 50 eats off Game.
-
I think some people realize that these 2 teams CAN score and play entertaining basketball, but there are others going by the perception of the 2 teams being slow down, half-court, defensive minded, Pat Riley's Miami Heat type teams.
-
I wonder if Game was acting on his own at Summer Jam or if he asked/had the blessing of Em and/or Dre to go after 50? Everyone thought that they had at least squashed the beef at the press conference, even though people who were there said you could tell tension was still there. This move by Game was obviously a statement that whatever peace the men had has now come to an abrupt end.
-
Deon just brought up a good point in that Batista is basically taking Orton's because the plan was for Cena, as champ, to swith with Orton, who was supposed to be champ. To scare you guys, I can see HHH losing to Batista at Vengeance, starting up a feud with Cena through the summer culminating with a HHH win at Summerslam, and then HHH working to an interpromotional match with Batista at either Survivor Series or even WM22 to get his win back from Batista. Sounds pretty feasible, eh?

....and of course the latest from Chicago and Chad Ford Here are the 12 guys NBA teams will be watching closely: Ronny Turiaf, PF, Gonzaga Turiaf has been working out so poorly, he has had no choice but to enter the event in a last-ditch effort to resurrect his draft stock. It's not totally Turiaf's fault. The things he does well – rebound and get physical in the paint – don't show up so well in draft workouts. If he does them well in Chicago, he still has a shot at the late first round. Randolph Morris, C, Kentucky I'd be a little surprised if Morris actually shows up for camp. Big men usually struggle in Chicago. The guards dominate the ball, and few plays are run for the big fellas in the post. Obviously, he could really help himself with a great game or two, but that might be asking a bit much of Morris right now. Dee Brown and Luther Head, G, Illinois Teammate Deron Williams is getting all the love, but Brown and Head played a huge role on a pretty terrific Illinois team this year. The goal of both players is the same. They need to prove they can make the transition to the point in the pros. Look for both to get their shot here. David Lee, PF, Florida On Thursday, it looked as though Lee was prepared to pull out of this camp. His workouts were going great; the feedback was strong; and Chicago looked like a risk. But give credit to Lee. Too many guys pull out of these camps based on fear. Although his agent advised him to drop out, Lee claimed he has nothing to hide. He wants to compete and prove he is worthy of a first-round selection. If he dominates here, he might get his wish. Brandon Rush and Louis Williams, G, high school These two kids came into the process thinking they were locks for the first round. Now ... it's not pretty. Williams, especially, has been very disappointing in workouts. Both need to go to college for at least two years. However, both seem determined to stay in the draft, regardless of the feedback they're getting. Their performance here will make or break them – especially Williams, who will try once again to show scouts he can play the point. Sean Banks, SF, Memphis Banks might be the most talented player in the camp. But his off-the-court problems have buried his draft stock. However, if he can do a good job reminding NBA teams of his potential, will all be forgiven? Salim Stoudamire, G, Arizona We know Stoudamire is the best shooter in the draft. But can he be more? Like Brown, Head and Williams, he's here to prove he can make the transition to the point at the next level. Pops Mensah-Bonsu, PF, George Washington He has the size and athletic ability of a lottery pick, but his game is still very raw. Mensah-Bonsu is the type of player who can watch his draft stock explode or implode based on how he plays here. High risk, high reward. Dijon Thompson, SF, UCLA Thompson has been lost in the draft shuffle to a certain extent. He's long and athletic, and he had a great senior season. With all the talk about upside, he's an older kid who still seems to be getting better. Torin Francis, PF, Notre Dame Two years ago, he was mentioned as potential lottery pick. But back issues and below-average production have destroyed his stock to the point that teams are no longer that interested, even in the second round. That said, Francis has the size and athleticism of a lottery pick. If he shows even a glimmer of that here, he'll help himself. Chicago Sleepers Ronald Murray has become the patron saint of guys from small schools who get discovered here in Chicago. His breakout performance for the Sonics a season ago guarantees these guys will get a close look this week. Deji Akindele, C, Chicago State Akindele is a physical wonder. He's 6-foot-11½, has long arms, is an off-the-charts athlete and has an NBA-ready body. He looks great in workouts, but what about in five-on-five? If he plays well here, he'll rocket up the boards. Rawle Marshall, G/F, Oakland Great athleticism. Pretty shooting stroke. Good defender. In other words, he does a little bit of everything. He's going to impress people when they see how he has worked on his body and his jumper. Mindaugas Katelynas, F, UT-Chattanooga Katelynas was the star of the Portsmouth tournament. He looked a little bit like a poor man's Andrei Kirilenko there. If he can repeat that performance against better competition, he's a lock for the second round. Marcin Gortat, C, Poland He got onto NBA radar screens last spring at the Reebok Big Man camp in Treviso, Italy. He actually won the camp's dunk contest. Gortat is a legit 7-footer with good athletic ability and agility for a big man. He's long and active and has turned himself into a solid shot-blocker and rebounder. He could surprise people. Daryl "MaJic" Dorsey, PG, WBA Dorsey is the ultimate sleeper. When his name first appeared, people were scratching their heads. Dorsey plays in the WBA (World Basketball Association) for the Rome Gladiators. He is averaging 25.6 points, 11.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game and is shooting 85.5 percent from the free-throw line. He's a veteran of the And 1 Mix Tape Tour and had stints in community college and the ABA. The native of Baltimore also was once charged with murder (the charge was eventually dropped). Everywhere he has gone, he has put up big numbers. At 23, he has nothing to lose. Missing In Action Who isn't in Chicago is just as interesting as who is. Some decided to skip the camp because they're confident in their draft stock. Others weren't invited at all. Here's a look at eight guys who should be here but aren't. Matt Walsh, G/F, Florida Walsh has been working out at IMG in Florida and has received encouraging feedback from teams. But his decision to skip the camp (he was invited) is a little unusual. Walsh is firmly on the first-round bubble. The only team with major interest is the Heat. Maybe he has a promise. Or maybe he's just making a bad decision. Linas Kleiza, F, Missouri Kleiza's decision is also surprising. Though a few teams like him in the first round (most notably Denver), he's the type of player who could really help his stock here. Instead, he's focusing on individual workouts. At least he has a fall-back plan. If the NBA doesn't work out for him, he has a bright future in Europe. Daniel Ewing, G, Duke No one's sure what to make of this one. One NBA source with knowledge of how the list was put together claims he wasn't invited. That's weird, considering he's a much better prospect than some others on the board. More likely, Ewing has his place in the draft already worked out and is lying low. Von Wafer, SG, Florida State Wafer wasn't invited, which is pretty stunning for a sophomore with his upside. It's hard to believe that the NBA feels that two-guards such as Larry O'Bannon, Jackie Manuel, Keith Langford, Alan Anderson and Ronnie Price (all of whom were invited to Chicago) are really better prospects. Nate Robinson, Ryan Gomes, Brandon Bass and Lawrence Roberts None of the four is a lock for the first round, but all have an excuse. Each played in Chicago last year to mixed results. Robinson was, by far, the most impressive, followed by Bass. Gomes and Roberts struggled. This year, they didn't think they had anything to gain by returning for a repeat performance. Chad Ford covers the NBA draft for ESPN Insider.

Also forgot about a potential X-Factor in dealing with Parker= Lindsey Hunter. Talk about a disrupter. If he can make Parker work while Chauncey gets valuable rest, Parker may wear down and start to hack while Chauncey is in the post or Parker may not get that hand in Billups face when he goes for one of those dagger 3's.

Upon second thought, it's not so much that Marion himself is a softie, but the Suns defensive philosophy is soft. Marion himself is a decent one on one defender, when he actually gets back. Since the Suns don't put a premium on getting back, it kind of takes Marion's defensive prowess away from him.
