The last match I saw him in he was getting squashed by Joe. The best idea, IMO, is to build someone up paralleling Joe. It would have to be someone fresh and untouched. Have the guy get Joes sloppy seconds and finish them quicker and more brutally than Joe. Never entertain the thought of putting the two together - never have Tenay or West mention it - and never have the two in the same room as each other. Do this consistently for at least 6-8 months. Then one day you just have the two face off and let the fans go nuts.

TNA has absolutely no right to punish guys for showing up on time; it completely violates their Independent Contractor status.

Plus, HHH "won" the feud and Kurt failed in getting Steph. 2 months later HHH was in the biggest feud in the company against Austin and Angle was one of the weakest champions in company history. It may have been one of Angles most talked about feuds, but it didn't exactly do him any favours. HHH is right up there with Taker in "helping" Angles career.

This is why Hunter is going to be a babyface come Mania time. Him saying "I say what I am going to do, and I do it" is prime facebait. Plus, if you saw the Rumble, with his cool comedy stuff ("Candice, could you hold my balls"), there's no way the fans are going to boo him against Cena. HHH is the cool guy in the VIP room sippin on Cristal while Cena is on the dancefloor doin the robot and the running man hopin for the crowd to say "go while boy, go white boy go". He'll get eaten alive. We had this discussion with NiceGuyAdam on his show and LOTC made the point of saying HHH is going to get over exactly like Christian did against Cena - by calling him out and making fun of him for being Vanilla Ice 3.0. I think the problem with the faces in the WWE today are that they are directionless. They wander around until it's their turn and then they wander around some more. Fans want to get behind the guys who are not waiting their turn, they get behind the guys who step up and take the spotlight. But that's not how it works in the WWE, no matter what they say. Fans aren't stupid, they recognize who the WWE wants to push and who the WWE won't push. And a lot of the times, who the WWE pushes are not the guys the fans like. The fans want to cheer who they want to cheer, but the fans don't know if they should fully get behind them. They get behind guys like the Boogeyman partially because they know it's a safebet. It's a comedy character, there's no chance to get burned by cheering him only to see him get squashed.. it was never meant to be taken seriously in the first place. How many times have the fans rallied behind someone only to see them hit their heads on the glass ceiling? Think of how much more over Rey would be if the fans got the impression that the WWE was pushing him straight to the top?

OH SNAP. The next eps. is going to kick an insane amount of ass. I cannot even begin to comprehend all the ass it is going to kick. So... those images after the countdown...

Ah, welcome back Sayid. We missed you. The look he gave Charlie, the "Where are the guns?" look... classic. Fuck, Clancy Brown is the fucking man. I want him to be on the Island.

That's part of Chuck Liddells popularity in the UFC. He says he's going to knock out Tito, he knocks out Tito. He says he's going to knock out Vern, he knocks out Vern. He says he's going to knock out Randy, he knocks out Randy. Fans need to get the sense that they are backing the right horse.

Protestant > United. Really watered-down Religion. I went to a Catholic wedding and I was like "Holy Crap"

Hogan has had much better matches than Snitsky, bumped around a lot more than Snitsky, had a better moveset than Snitsky, sold better than Snitsky, worked the crowd better than Snitsky, wrestled for much longer in many more different places than Snitsky... basically, everything one can do in a wrestling match, Hogan did much better than Snitsky.

Hogans best performances, workrate-wise, were in New Japan in the early 80's. It's a shame they didn't include more of his stuff, as he was very over, and worked his ass off. The AWESOME: Hogan/Hansen vs. Backlund/Inoki http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xc783olmnI&search=hogan

You Tube is the shit. For DL... http://forum.fight.ro/viewtopic.php?t=2098

Bret has said for a while that he'd like a goodbye speech.

You'll wanna skip over the RVD/Masters match. Of course, this was sorta obvious. But my god was that crowd dead.

BTW, this show is fucking awful.

Hate everyone associated with it. Even Eddie. Angle vs. Orton is guaranteed to have Orton in bed with Angles ex at some point during the feud and then pushing Angles kid on a swing.

A pretty sweet fight from a K-1 Heroes Event. Ground and Pound Excellence. http://www.youtube.com/w/Jong-Man-Kim-vs-A...ushi%20Yamamoto http://www.youtube.com/w/Jong-Man-Kim-vs-A...2?v=pnBGEt8lsKc

An attempted murder plot directly involving the Vice President of the United States is less important than fucking chilled water?

Don't forget about the lojack.

Is this before or after Rey wins the Smackdown title and the faceplate has a pair of fuzzy dice and in nite-bright fashion a moving glowing picture of the Eddie shuffle?

While you are sticking your nose up, look closely to note that I did say Gabe failed to measure up to the hype. The show was a disapointment due to the hype but let's be fair, they lost 3/4 of the roster. They did a perfectly solid job of saving the show. I did note that the show was a diaster for ROH for all purposes, the failure to live up to the hype, the lost of talent and for disapointing a very vocal and loyal fanbase. I acknowledged that ROH needed to have a bad show heading into a very important stretch for them. And in between all this was some fabulous spin-doctoring, you should be proud of yourself and ROH should be proud to have such a dedicated fan.

*Jumps up and chants "This is Awesome" in regards to Hawks spin-doctoring for ROH.* This has to be a board record in the field of apologism. WELL DONE, Lad. Never in my 5 years here have I seen such effort and determination to find that silver-lining and come up with some top-notch excuses for what is an across-the-board disappointment.

Better yet they can have Dusty do it. Good call.

Initially I would say Steph, but then she might be a lil too big, plus she sucks, so I figure they could switch it around and have Big Show do it.
