Minor WWE News From The Torch

Recommended Posts

More Torch and remember I got this from a wrestling message board. Enjoy.

 

MORE LUGER:

He sucked. TNA wrestlers are getting mad. Someone like Sting they at least tolerated when he came straight into main events, cause it was Sting. But now Sting hasn't put anyone ever, he's getting them to bring in Lex, Lex isn't putting anyone over, and Lex is getting put right in the main events over all the guys who work there regularly. Kid Kash was one of the people left off last week's show, and he was making a big stink about TNA management not using/paying the regulars so that they could afford Sting and Luger.

 

MORE JUNK:

 

- Stephanie was supposed to come back, but now she's not and there's no immediate plan for her to.

 

- The Ric Flair DVD is selling like a proverbial hotcake. The first printing has already run out, so they gotta make more.

 

- Hey I saw some of the Survivor yesterday. I keep hearing about this guy Rupert and how he's America's sweetheart, but he got voted off in a coup led by evil Jon. Maybe they actually should sign this Jon fellow for the rasslin' shows.

 

ON TOPIC WITH JASON POWELL:

 

It's a transcript of a hilarious video tape of Stephanie working with her consultants. She cusses a lot for some reason, and the writers all suck up to her, then Hunter books the shows while Michael Hayes dances on a table with a lampshade on his head.

 

TORCH TALK WITH SONJAY DUTT:

 

More like Songay BUTT. He's 21. He's still in college. He's from Virginia.

 

- The latest werd is that WrestleMania XX is gonna be 5 hours at a price of $50. The extra time will probably go to a lot of video packages of the past WrestleManias that they're doing, which will air in small doses throughout the show.

 

- Taker/Kane, Brock/Goldberg, H/Foley, and Austin/Vince are the main Mania matches that people are talking about. The latest werd is that Rock is going to do a match, but no werd on an opponent yet. Vince is said to have an open mind about using Hogan at Mania, but if Hulk works a big TNA PPV in February then his mind is gonna close pretty quickly.

 

- Kurt Angle probably won't be wrestling again until January, although he is crazy. He'll still be on TV, though.

 

- WWE.com announced that they won't be re-signing Goldust. The Cat will be a wrestler, not an interviewer or a manager or anything. Some wrestlers wonder if anyone's seen Cat wrestle. Ah come on. He's the greatest. WHERE MY RED SHOES AT.

 

- There was a plan to turn Benjamin & Hass babyface, but that appears to have been scrapped.

 

- A veteran wrestler said the morale in TNA right now is as low as he's ever seen morale in any company he's worked for in the long history of his career as a morale studier.

 

- A cable industry source says TNA is doing about 15,000 - 20,000 buys a week, which is not tremendous but is good.

 

- MLW announced a few dates for January, so they aren't dead yet. But they're off the Sunshine Network now.

 

- MMA insider Scott Christ says that UFC is "closer than most people would probably admit" to getting a weekly cable deal. Talks with UFC and Spike TV heated up enough that Spike suits went to Vince to get his approval, and Vince was like "sure". But Fox Sports Net is also mentioned as a possible home.

Awesome news.

Meh

I liked the Fox Sports Net UFC show! If and when UFC gets a cable deal I just hope it is not on Sunday because I most likely will not watch it due to NFL. I think Saturday would be a good time slot maybe midday or early evening just like the WCW Mutha Ship, if you will.

Today I saw BINGO on TV. B I N G O. I just sat there and thought to myself "There is something truly fucked up with Bingo being on TV but MMA is not." Spike TV would be the perfect spot for the UFC - moreso than Fox SN cause I don't get FSN.

PRO - They are more interesting as heels.

CON - Vince probably has no plan at all for them now.

That's true. I can only see them as heels.

Saying "I got this from a wrestling message board" is only a cheap way to say your rip it off from Seadawg, who wrote for the CRZ page. Why would you not give him credit? He got on the IWC list because of his forum and from this. He does these funny versions of the Torch, and you post them here with no credit, and then half of the responses think it came from the actual Torch. I looked back and saw many threads of people picking apart what he wrote and thinking the Torch wrote it, saying "how could they say this???" because they don't know it's a joke. If they knew Seadawg or his forum and had read him before, maybe they would get it.

 

I know for a fact that people have now told Seadawg that you're ripping him off, and I hope he makes it so you can't see the recaps anymore.

You clearly don't credit him much if at all, because of all the times I saw people reading it and thinking it came straight from the Torch. And you say you got tired of writing it up? It is not too hard to say "I stole this from Seadawg" when you cut and paste everything he wrote.

I've called him on this before too, but he just dosen't seem to get the point.
