What? TNA has a drug policy? Or more importantly, TNA actually enforces some sort of drug policy? Really? REALLY??!The Schwartz wrote:Aries has been suspended 90 days by TNA because of their drug policy more than once.
no kidding. considering the doped up burnouts they got on their roster.The Bill wrote:What? TNA has a drug policy? Or more importantly, TNA actually enforces some sort of drug policy? Really?

i think drake has potential and with a bit of seasoning he could become at least a mid-card player. same deal with scotty vortekx and masada. masada is a hard hitter who has been schooled by shawn michaels so you know he's got the skills to develop beyond the death match style that he is known for. these are all choices on the extreme end of the spectrum mind you.Broken Into Pieces wrote:third, was nice to see props given to Sami Callihan and Drake Younger on BUNGVOX's list of people WWE should hire, but I gotta say, I love Drake but he's pretty much useless if he's not allowed weapons at all... most of his matches in CZW involve weapon use (even the non-deathmatches), in Chikara he's used real infrequently (usually to lose to somebody while the commentators put him over as a tough guy), and in DGUSA he's seemingly been used for similar reasons to Chikara only with some sick bumps thrown in 'cause DGUSA doesn't need to stay PG... I love Drake as a wrestler, but if he's not allowed to either use weapons or take sick bumps then he's got no place in a promotion, his standard work is pretty sloppy and hit-and-miss
Me too, actually! The whole CM Punk thing has me half intrigued, half hoping they don't fuck it up so bad. And we are having a SummerSlam party with friends of ours, so if Punk comes out on top out comes the Pepsis!!!Dr Yail Bloor wrote:i've been watchong RAW again for the first time in years.

According to his wikipedia page, he was suspended twice in TNA. Once was for turning up 4 hours late for a taping due to bad weather delaying travel (TNA had told him to cancel a ROH commitment to avoid this, Aries refused which is why he ended up being late). The other was because they expected him to come in to film some promos on what he believed to be a "day off", and apparently they didn't like his attitude when dealing with the issue.The Schwartz wrote:Aries has been suspended 90 days by TNA because of their drug policy more than once.
Vortekz is already a great junior, and MASADA is an awesome brawler... I definitely wouldn't say either of those guys would be redundant if you took away their weapons.BUNGVOX wrote:i think drake has potential and with a bit of seasoning he could become at least a mid-card player. same deal with scotty vortekx and masada. masada is a hard hitter who has been schooled by shawn michaels so you know he's got the skills to develop beyond the death match style that he is known for. these are all choices on the extreme end of the spectrum mind you.Broken Into Pieces wrote:third, was nice to see props given to Sami Callihan and Drake Younger on BUNGVOX's list of people WWE should hire, but I gotta say, I love Drake but he's pretty much useless if he's not allowed weapons at all... most of his matches in CZW involve weapon use (even the non-deathmatches), in Chikara he's used real infrequently (usually to lose to somebody while the commentators put him over as a tough guy), and in DGUSA he's seemingly been used for similar reasons to Chikara only with some sick bumps thrown in 'cause DGUSA doesn't need to stay PG...

oh yeah.....they had a ppv this evening didn't they?The Bill wrote:God! TNA ppv's are so blah.
I feel asleep during the middle of it. I think a regular episode of iMpact was better than this. I saw AT LEAST three matches that involved some sort of outside interferenceBUNGVOX wrote:oh yeah.....they had a ppv this evening didn't they?The Bill wrote:God! TNA ppv's are so blah.
i'm really suprised that they're still in business.
with the reputation russo has developed over the years i cannot believe any wrestling company is crazy enough to employ him. a large part of WCW's downfall can easily be attributed to him.The Bill wrote:I feel asleep during the middle of it.

Anyhow, the title match had a swerve, of course. A swerve that was completely unneeded and made no sense and anti-climatic and seemed real lazy. Fucking Russo, man, how bad is this dude's ADD?
his original WWF/WWE run was top shelf. the stuff i have seen of him in TNA indicates that he can still go. i totally agree that he's heading for a nervous breakdown of some kind. apparently they gave him the title last night so that sting can go embarass himself in yet another feud with hogan. guys like angle spout of stuff about TNA being the best and that he wants to give them a boost but i think he has to be on drugs to be saying that and believing it. i'd like to see him do a final run in WWE but who knows if that will happen.godofdeadlydeath wrote:I hope Angle can come back to WWE eventually, but a part of me thinks the guy is legit insane and not far off from a Benoit-like meltdown at some point. He just seems kind of... off. He's had multiple DUIs, which I find funny because he always claimed he never drank, so I'm assuming he's got a painkiller problem. TNA is just so bush league and god-awful for the most part, it's hard to watch, but I still get enjoyment out of Angle being in the ring, most of the time.
If he cleans up his act and ends up like Flair, as a mediocre wrestler with an amazing pedigree that can still pull off great matches when needed (see: Flair's ladder match with Edge, or his match vs. HHH in 2003), I'll be fine with that. I'd just hate to see the guy lose his mind and kill himself or something like that. If it means he can go back to the WWE and be an on-air figure of some sort, I'd be happy (his run as Smackdown! GM in 2003/2004 was pretty great).BUNGVOX wrote:his original WWF/WWE run was top shelf. the stuff i have seen of him in TNA indicates that he can still go. i totally agree that he's heading for a nervous breakdown of some kind. apparently they gave him the title last night so that sting can go embarass himself in yet another feud with hogan. guys like angle spout of stuff about TNA being the best and that he wants to give them a boost but i think he has to be on drugs to be saying that and believing it. i'd like to see him do a final run in WWE but who knows if that will happen.godofdeadlydeath wrote:I hope Angle can come back to WWE eventually, but a part of me thinks the guy is legit insane and not far off from a Benoit-like meltdown at some point.

i sometimes envision angle pulling a flair and overstaying his welcome by 15-20 years which is a depressing thought given angle's credentials.
He's certainly slimmer, but that can probably only be a good thing for his health. His last days in the WWE, his figure was so bizarre. You could tell he had muscle atrophy in one of his arms because it was much skinnier than the other, and his legs were really thin but his chest and torso seemed oddly wide. He looks a little more evened-out now, but definitely small.The Bill wrote:You know, Angle is seriously trying to make the USA Olympic wrestling team. Oh boy, talk about delusions of grandeur.
He's had some damn good matches with AJ Styles, Mr. Anderson (Mr. Kennedy), and Jeff Jarret within a years time recently, but this crap with Sting last night, no good. Also, he looks weird lately, maybe he lost weight for the Olympic tryouts, but there's something disturbing about him.
his neck issues have caused his body some real problems. it's really amazing that he can still pull off great matches.godofdeadlydeath wrote:He's certainly slimmer, but that can probably only be a good thing for his health.

I dare say Cena was not bad tonight. I also really like the Summerslam commercial promo, best commercial ad they've had in years:Turd Murder wrote:Punk owned the contract signing. Cena couldn't stay in character to save his life. He took away a bit from the seriousness of it. SummerSlam may be a one match show but it's gonna hopefully be a heck of a match.
The Rock's mic skills are still there. Who wouldn't much rather see a war of words with the Rock & Punk?
