Rasslin is CHA CHA LA..LA,LA,LA,LA,LA (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=171830)

In my opinion, they need to go back to "we are wrestling" and drop all the soap opera shit. Leave that to the WWE (who's much better at it...), and focus on in-ring work.

Never happen, of course...

Most of the time they're like a backyard version of WWE as written by a severely autistic child, and then other times they want to be like CHIKARA or HUSTLE (see Machismo, Shark Cold). Kind of like Angle's MPD, where he's goofy Kurt and serious badass Kurt AT THE SAME ****ING TIME.

God, I ****ing hate TNA so much it makes my stomach hurt. If I worked for them, I honestly don't know how I'd be able to avoid killing myself.

You're right about leaving storylines to the WWE. They're not always perfect at it, but look at the companies' respective video packages. WWE's video pieces are ****ing INCREDIBLE; they make garbage look like gold. TNA, on the other hand, ranges from mediocre to YOUR FIRED.

What the bloody Jesus is Kendall Gill doing on TNA?

Why do they "fire" Daniels and then bring in a FAKE Curry Man? Jesus Christ, everything TNA does is wrong.

When Shark Boy dropped the Stone Cold Stunnner last night... I had not felt rage to that degree since late December. TNA causes me to suffer actual pain.

I watched it.

All of it.

It's like a car wreck.

I can't turn away.

Can't say I ever thought I'd be watching a CM Punk/Edge main event on Smackdown. This is a bit surreal.

Well, Phil didn't look too bad, botched spot off the top rope aside. Clean loss, but they didn't just job him in 90 seconds. He might do okay in a program with Edge.

That was very anti-climatic.

Random thought: I wonder when we're ever going to see Colt Cabana?

Holy crap, Mike Adamle!

As co-host of the original American Gladiators series, Mike Adamle has witnessed his fair share of punches, kicks and body slams. Good thing, too. All the better to prepare him for his latest role: WWE on-air personality.

Best known for his Gladiator role (1989 – 1996), Adamle joins the WWE broadcast team this Sunday at the Royal Rumble, where he’ll get his feet wet interviewing Superstars. From there, Adamle will join team Raw on Monday nights doing, as he describes it, “a little bit of everything.”

Growing up near Chicago, the sportscaster says his ties to wrestling go way back. “I remember going to see matches with my Dad and my sister,” Adamle fondly recalls. “We would watch Bobo Brazil do his move called the Coco Butt, [a head butt].”

Adamle says he appreciates the innovation of Superstars such as “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and current American Gladiators co-host Hulk Hogan.

“Anytime you have an athlete who’s remembered years afterward, that’s special,” he says.

These days, Adamle admires a host of Superstars, but when pressed on which pair he’d particularly be thrilled to see clash, the man who’s covered two Olympic Games doesn’t hesitate.

“Triple H going up against Randy Orton would be a great match,” replies Adamle. “You’ve got two tremendous athletes and a lot of showmanship.”

As a former NFL running back in the early 1970s, Adamle says he’s encouraged by the showier aspects of sports-entertainment.

“Even as a [football player], I always felt I was an entertainer first,” he says. “After I’d make a great play on special teams, I’d try to wave to the crowd. Now, when someone scores a touchdown and celebrates, they’re penalized. In the WWE, they’re encouraged.”

Adamle’s NFL days may be behind him, but that doesn’t mean he’s confined to the couch. Several years ago, after feeling a few aches and pains and having put on some extra poundage, Adamle decided to refocus by training for a triathlon. “I finished in about 14 hours,” recalls Adamle of his first crack at the competition.

Since then, he’s competed in four more triathlons and shaved roughly two hours off his time. Despite being so fit, however, Adamle says he’s more comfortable interviewing Superstars as opposed to battling them.

“I feel like I’m not big enough to compete against these guys,” says the 5-foot-9-inch Adamle, with a chuckle. “They’d have to start me off against Hornswoggle.”

Just a crazy idea but considering that ace steel is also in developmental a edge & the edgeheads against a reformed second city saints would work well. Of course the chances of that happening are slim to none. and alot closer to none

I love Edge. Love him so very much.

But I hate the ****ing Spear more and more every time he uses it.

BRING BACK THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL

David Lagana get shitcanned yesterday apparently. Guess there'll be some changes on ECW.

Ohhhhhh ****. But then, I guess Velocity didn't need a dedicated writer, either.
