RedJed 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 Why the fuck are the fans chanting "Fire Russo?" It's a regular wrestling match? Fucking morons. Probably just because a really basic match like this shouldn't even have been booked on the ppv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedJed 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 And as soon as I say that, it starts to pick up. Magnus' offense is really weak for the most part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I don't get why he's not in yet, and honestly Williams should be doing this guy's gimmick instead. This Magnus guy is not very good at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 He shouldn't be going over Steiner. He got to have a competitive match though. Exactly, hence why Petey wasn't really "fucked over" or anything like that. I fully expected him to win, that's not that I'm talking about. I just don't see a reason to squash him post match as well after the big finish to that match. Great match, the guy went over I expected, but I didn't see the purpose of the post match squash. Why couldn't the Joe music start as Steiner went to go grab him? It's just a TNA moment, that's the only explanation for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Magnus isn't great, but he really isn't brutal either. Sizewise, he's in a bit of a deadzone . . too small to be big and too big to be small. His promo was alright. I think the fans shitting on him right away gives the perception that he blows ass no matter what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 He's under some kind of contract but they never bring him in. Someone needs to work with Magnus and get him better in the ring. I think the guy's a pretty good talker...so that's a plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedJed 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 Wait, TNA is bringing in Doug Williams? They signed him onto a number of dates way back when he was a part of the X Cup stuff, but for some reason, they are letting him sit. Probably just something related to his already booked schedule and in due time, he'll be in for spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 Why the fuck are the fans chanting "Fire Russo?" It's a regular wrestling match? Fucking morons. Probably just because a really basic match like this shouldn't even have been booked on the ppv. The problem with "Fire Russo" having become the TNA fans all purpose chant for something they don't like, is that TNA management, instead of taking on board that the fans aren't liking what's going on and correcting it, instead dismiss them as idiots for not knowing Russo didn't have anything to do with the segment at hand and accordingly dismiss their dislike as the reaction of people who don't know what they're talking about. While the chant was funny at first, now it just enables TNA to dismiss a negative reaction to something they do and convince themselves a bomb of a segment was really a success.

Back when this first started happening with the chants, that definately was the case, but that was a good while ago.....I'd like to think by now, the company gets it more when the Fire Russo chant happens. It's clearly directed to make a point that they aren't liking what they are seeing, just the same thing as a boring chant or bullshit chant or whatnot.

PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 Much like when ROH crowds chant "Fire Russo" during segments they do not like, it, of course, has nothing to due with the guy himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would imagine that to be the TNA mindset; dismiss it as the crowd being collective smartasses and ignore that they might simply be registering dislike of something.

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 I'm sure it's legit, but having a strep infection in your shoulder sounds like something only TNA could come up with. What shit if this ppv ends w/ the heels running the table by winning every match. I figure w/ the announcers putting over Morgan's infection, Abyss is the only face w/ a shot at getting a win.
