thing is, he's worked hard on his ring work but he's god further on than say, morrison who has trod roughly a similar path on his mic and promo work, he's a very good talker.

Good on him though, there's not many left from the old tough enough series, i think it looks a bit bad that skip sheffield(ryan reeves) is still flirting with FCW considering he was in the tough enough back in 2004.

IIRC Tough Enough has produced:

Miz
Morrison
Skip Sheffield
Matt Morgan
Josh Matthews

ODB and The Boogeyman also had try outs for it.

Been watching some old vids on youtube. Some of the pops that Stone Cold and the rock used to get would have even drowned out the noise made by those horns at the world cup. You dont hear pops like that anymore. Damn PG era.

Been watching a lot of TNA recently and I have to say, yes its full of old timers, but the storylines are interesting. 1000 x more interesting than the WWE storylines and I use that term loosely for the WWE.

I hope Jay Lethal stays in TNA as he has all the tools required. I feel WWE would just ruin him and then bury him given they dont know how to use talent. I mean, look at Christian. Probably the best all round performer they have, one who is totally over with the fans and someone who everyone loves backstage, but they just bury him apart from the ECW title

That has nothing to do with PG, that's to do with Wrestling isn't as popular and the Wrestlers themselves aren't as popular.

Go see a Doctor, quickly, TNA's storylines are washed up WCW stories from the bad days and are embarrassing to watch, the NXT angle now is better then ANYTHING TNA has ever done, TNA ruin their talent in no time....MCMG 2 years ago got the biggest pops in the company, then they started jobbing them, Judas Mesias had the makings of a top heel...they ruined him in 1 move.

"Don't know how to use talent"? Christian is putting over the younger talent...at HIS request, Sheamus, Swagger & the NXT rookies are getting good pushes, the Miz is getting a push just look at him a year ago and look at him now.

Christian is also not "totally over" there's at least 20 performers more over then him.

Anyone seen Raw last night?

Hart is no longer GM after he didn't show at Fatal Fourway

The "Former NXT guys", which is how they're being addressed until someone comes up with a better name, now have contracts

And a slight tease at a Shemus face turn

Oh, and the new GM is someone who emails his ideas in.
Which is only fair as the creative team at WWE have been phoning it in for the last few years

Re: The Wrestling Thread : Tue Jun 22, 2010 11:28 am  

The Sheamus turn tease was great, had everyone in the stream i was watching willing him to do it

"I cant accept this title... *tease face turn* But I will anyway! "

Some quite funny GM ideas popped up, including the Rock, SCSA, Regal, Mae Young, Marty Jannetty, Vince and Michael Jackson.

Jim Cornette would be my choice. (no chance in hell of it happening though unfortunately! ).

Well he does already run the show backstage, so I guess him doing it on stage would kinda make sense.

In all seriousness, what about HBK?

Re: The Wrestling Thread : Tue Jun 22, 2010 1:37 pm  

Can't believe the bumps Vince took last night - clearly the NXT thing is a major angle that they're desperate to get over.
