Guest Phoenix Fury Legdrop Posted July 12, 2003 Report Posted July 12, 2003 OK, I'll apologize for the name-calling and wishing cancer upon Hat Guy. Still have a differing opinion from you, but oh well. If the WCW developmental guys who worked Wildside during the last days of WCW (Sean O'Haire, Shane Helms, Shannon Moore, Chuck Palumbo, Jamie Noble, etc.) don't count, then probably Ron Killings back in 1999. There have been others (the Hardys come to mind), though.

Guest thetrendsetter Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 to the blatthering Russo-led blur that is NWA-TNA I happen to like Russo, and appreciate any wrestling protion that wants to entertain me. I'll take a 10 minute Shane Douglas promo over the Lost Boyz Spotmonkeys anyday. NO ONE DRAWS ANYMORE. Not WWE, not TNA, not ROH, nobody. Well, CZW does, to an extent I'm laughing too hard to point out the glaring contradiction here. I take it your'e not a CZW fan. One last thing: if you're going to crap on Wildside just because a fan of the product decided that he thought you were pathetic and worthless, then Wildside doesn't need you as a fan I never said i was a fan One Last thing. When "Iceberg" debuted in ROH, the real No.1 alternative to the WWE,didnt he get laughed out of the building, and get the dreaded "dont come back" chant. Because Iceberg's style clashes with what fans in Philly want to see... Remember, just because they're the loudest, doesn't mean fuck all... If Amazing Red, Ruckus, and many of the "ROH" style workers came to the Canadian East Coast, they'd probably get dead silence, because Fans in Eastern Canada are adapted to slower, old-school wrestling... Doesn't make them bad workers because of it, just means that the style that Iceberg provides, isn't the style that apleases philly fans... I won't get into my rant about many philly (Philly-Style) workers, because it's a rant I don't have time to give right now...

While I can see your point, (I'm not really a fan of Red myself), if you watch current ROH, then you can see that guys like Matt Stryker, Chad Collyer and Tom Carter are singlehandely getting a mat-based technique over

However, again, in the maritimes, it's almost like they're in 1987, because until 2 years ago, it was rare to see a Crusierweight (200 >) I understand you don't like NWA Wildside, but there is a market for it, and from what I hear, an excellent market for it. You don't like it for whatever reasons, which is understandable. I'm not th biggest ROH fan in the universe... it comes with being a fan... What in particular is it, that you don't like with Wildside, is it just the Anti-Fed commentary?
Guest the 1inch punch Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 Its more to do with the fact that while ROH and CZW, which are an alternative in what they present, compared to the WWE and NWA TNA, Wildside , to me, comes off as third rate
Guest J*ingus Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 I've been to several Wildside shows, usually driving some worker or another down there from Nashville, and I will say that NWA Wildside is the single most professionally run independent wrestling company I have ever seen, and I've worked for half a dozen of them up here in TN. Simply treating wrestling like a real business gets them many points in my eyes. Yes, sometimes the booking could be better, but they've gotta deal with the usual indy circuit bullshit of wrestlers constantly no-showing, retiring, making commitments to other companies, so forth and so on, all of which can't be protected against unless you have written contracts and big money. Not to mention guys getting hurt; I'm sure Rick Michaels's career-ending injuries completely derailed the booking of the entire company, as he was the top babyface at the time. (And 1inch, calling him a "cripple" was pretty damn low.) So calm down guys, and discuss the product in a rational manner. I will say that, from what I've seen, ROH does tend to put on a better show from a workrate perspective, but then again they spend a LOT more money to bring top guys in from all over the country and make every card into an Indy Dream Match affair. Having said that though, the vast majority of the Wildside roster bust their ass too in order to give the fans the best they can.
syxx2001 Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 As for TNA "trying to entertain you," TNA doesn't try to entertain anyone. All TNA is is a group of 30-somethings who realize that they won't ever be making good money up North again, so they have to get out all their frustrations while the 4 people that actually watch TNA give a flying fuck about them. All was fine and dandy until you said this. Let me show you something... AJ Styles Low Ki Red Chris Sabin Frankie Kazarian Chris Harris James Storm Elix Skipper Alexis Laree CM Punk Julio Dinero Sonny Siaki Jason Cross Justin Credible Ron Killings Shark Boy Tracy Veronica Thats half of the roster. Then there is the 600-1200 people who watch in the arena, thats more than 4 buddy. And Raven has been commented on saying he makes way more in TNA and working other indys than he ever did the WWE. So, what were you saying about not making good money anymore.
Guest bob_barron Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 Low Ki Injured. Red Never there. Alexis Laree Can't wrestle worth shit. CM Punk Has wrestled like one match for them. Julio Dinero Sucks. Sonny Siaki Sucks. Jason Cross Never there. Justin Credible Sucks. Ron Killings Does nothing. Shark Boy Overrated. Tracy Veronica No reason for being on the show
Guest JMFabiano524 Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 Assorted bitching aside, can I just say that if ANYONE has a best of Jeff G. Bailey tape, I will buy it off of you/trade for it at the drop of a hat. Just saying is all... J.
syxx2001 Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 Low Ki Injured. And? He is still a part of the promotion. Red Never there. See Low Ki. Alexis Laree Can't wrestle worth shit. Never asked if they could wrestle or not. CM Punk Has wrestled like one match for them. And he is in The Gathering. Julio Dinero Sucks. Did he ask that? Sonny Siaki Sucks. Did he ask that? Jason Cross Never there. True. Justin Credible Sucks. Did he ask that? Ron Killings Does nothing. But is he there? Shark Boy Overrated. But is he there? Tracy Veronica No reason for being on the show They are there are they not?
Guest bob_barron Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 I'm showing you that the people you listed aren't going to make TNA any better for various reasons listed. He was bitching about TNA, you tried to defend it and I was showing you where your defence is wrong. And Credible is over 30.
syxx2001 Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 I thought Credible was 29 or 30. And I didn't say that they would make TNA any better, but the roster isn't full of "rejects" or whatever the idiots who has seen 2 shows or none for that matter, and think they have the right to actually judge the show based on the opinion of someone else or the 2 horrible shows they saw.
Guest bob_barron Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 Julio, Killings and Credible are all people I would consider rejects- in the sense that no other fed really wanted them (WWE) so they had to go to TNA
Guest the 1inch punch Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Gotta get back into this thread I like Julio, and think he deserves a shot He wrestled the Heroes of Wrestling Show and survived, give him a shot That said, his Julio De Niro moviestar gimmick in my EWR game isnt working
