Guest Jay Z. Hollywood Report post Posted October 21, 2003 EDIT: I realized the title of the the post makes it sounds like she's appearing on the PPV; she's not. Read on. Browsing 411 late at night, I found this. Apparently Sytch is doing occassional guest commentary on Hyatte's 411 column. Here's what she had to say about the TNA PPV, thought y'all would find it an interesting read. I really didn't have anything to contribute to this week's edition, until a scuttlebutt come around here, and a very interesting vibe begin to come around. Jeff Jarrett attacks Hulk Hogan in Japan. Before I get into this tirade, I want to make it known to all the cynics out there, I am by no means looking to get hired by TNA. In fact, I have a job and am very happy where I am. I have one last good run in me, but when and where it will happen is not in question here. I want to point out, some of the reasons why the wrestling fan should be excited by the rise of the NWA, and by the potential of Hulk Hogan joining up with them could be. Lets face it, when was the last time someone has done something overseas that impacted the United States. A sneak attack if you will, from one member of a federation, to another, 1000's of miles away. Its something that created an international incident. Press from all over saw it, and for once, and not since perhaps the nWo was spawned has something really generated such good angles. Let's face it, Hogan and Jarrett have a good past. A weird angle in WCW that has a "work/shoot" stigma around it. Both were great champions, and now, they have been essentially penciled to face one another in a match at TNA's first, Supercard. What more could you ask for? Well rumor is Tiger Mask will also wrestle on this show. A show that is potentially the first Starrcade, or the first Wrestlemania. It's the beginning of a new era. So are you ordering it? Well if you are a wrestling fan you should be. Maybe you should order to see Hogan/Jarrett. Maybe you should order it to see Tiger Mask in a rare U.S. Appearance. Maybe you should order to see the great X-Division, which is LEAGUES above that wonderful cruiserweight division everyone still raves about. Maybe you should order it to see some young fresh and very good talent PUSHED, instead of buried. Maybe you should order to see Piledrivers, Moonsaults to the outside, Top rope DDTs and insane bumps that WWE has outlawed. Maybe you should order it so guys like Raven, D-Lo Brown, Shane Douglas and AJ Styles are able to continue to wrestle in this business, where if there was no #2 they wouldn't. Or most of all, maybe you should order it because you need to send a message to Vince, that hey, there is a alternative out here, they may not do EVERYTHING that I want, but it is a alternative, and they are doing things you aren't. After all, they did bring back Sting, they gave Hall a few chances, they made what is essentially a cruiserweight in AJ Styles, WORLD CHAMPION. They've allowed Low Ki, Christopher Daniels, AJ Styles, Jerry Lynn and countless others the freedom to have 5 star matches. Hulk Hogan may have 50-75 matches left in his career. If we are lucky. Yes you read that right. Most everyone in this business got in because of Hulk Hogan. He's kept himself high profile, WWE tried to abuse him, and he got out keeping his legacy in tact. Lets face it, Ric Flair has been reduced to getting Maven over. That’s fine, but Flair will likely never get his one last chance to shine. Hogan should, and perhaps with TNA he will. Dusty Rhodes got his last chance at the NWA World Title last week. The match wasn't great, but the storyline into that, is one that will be remembered for years. Could the legend pull it out one more time? Hey you can sit and complain about Vince and WWE all you want, or you can do something about it. If there was only Coke to drink, and as time went on their product started tasting less like Cola and more like piss....and then Dr. Pepper came along, and hey Dr.Pepper might not be the exact taste you like.....BUT, it was the only alternative...wouldn't you buy some Dr.Pepper to knock Coke down a few notches and say LOOK I want a better tasting Cola or by god I'm gonna make Dr.Pepper #1. That may be a weird example, but if you want change order TNA once a month. Do it for the Styles', the Ravens, the D-Lo Browns and the Jerry Lynns. Every $10 you spend goes to pay those guys checks and make them a real national alternative......Every $35 you pay to WWE a month, goes mostly to Vince McMahon. You have to have a alternative, you have to, and for once we do. I'm hoping Hulk Hogan helps TNA make a difference, but most of all, I'm hoping the Wrestling fans do. I work in wrestling, but I'm also a fan. From a fan standpoint, I like a lot of the things NWA-TNA is doing. They are giving a lot of my friends good chances to shine in the sun one last time, they are giving a lot of people who need a break in this business to get in, and they are giving a lot of legends one last good ride they deserve. That’s my bitch, Tammy "Sunny" Sytch Not the most well-written article in the world, but I think it sums up nicely why people should get behind this PPV.

Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Translation: Make TNA big and give them money so me and my hubby can find work again. We need money for coke. I get what she's saying but I never was fond of slandering one thing to get something else over. Comparing is fine but she's basically saying "Vince sucks even though he made me, so support Jarrett to give the unemployed people work because WWE sucks".

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 You know, Game...it is plausible that not everyone is as negative about TNA as you are. At least she had a well thought out opinion. AND SHE'S A COKE HEAD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Where was I negative about TNA in that post? I was just saying that I don't agree with her method of trying to get TNA over. She basically said "TNA's good because WWE sucks". You're supposed to say something's good because it's good, not that it's good because its competition sucks. She's also slandering the company that made her. Maybe all the coke made her forget her roots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michrome 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 I wish they would make some faces and heels in the X Division, and have some real feuds as opposed to the random dart machine making matches. The build to this week's three-way was a good start. However, putting 6 guys in some gimmick matches that allows them to jump from high places is not going to get them over, there has to be some character development in the X Division to have it ever draw anything. With Styles *supposedly* moving to the X Division, a nice heated longterm Daniels-Styles feud would be choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You must've missed every X-Division match but the exhibition multi-man's that exist to help get new talent over with the fans before they're put into a program. The X-Division has had alignments (heel/tweener/face) since Week 6, when the Styles/Lynn feud really kicked off. Here, I'll even go down a list of X-Division mainstays and their alignments (for the most part). FACES Jerry Lynn Joel Maximo Jose Maximo The Amazing Red Jorge Estrada Syxx-Pac Frankie Kazarian HEELS AJ Styles Ace Steele Low Ki Elix Skipper Christopher Daniels Sonny Siaki Chris Sabin Michael Shane What the X-Division needs is another feud/storyline like Styles/Lynn, and, quite frankly, better talent that can be used in angles. Kazarian and Shane were the focus of the X-Division as both men tried to get the belt off of Sabin, and neither man is particularly good or charismatic, so how are the fans supposed to get behind them when there's nothing about them to cheer for?
