I like how, like, five black guys out of fifty is enough to inspire that kind of thought, but it's not like black wrestlers have ever had the biggest window of opportunity (Rocky notwithstanding). This is the same company that rebrands people because someone else on another brand shares a first name, so I wouldn't put it past them to call more than two black guys with cornrows or dreads too "confusing" for the audience.

Elijah has been out of action for months because his home was screwed up in hurricane ike. I don't think it has anything to do with killings.

I think some of that has to do with a big portion of wrestlings fan base being the dumb hick/redneck people. Of course we're talking about a company who had Smackdowns highest viewing audience being hispanic and they move Rey Mysterio to Raw...that makes a ton of sense right? |

And he had been doing a black pope type of gimmick in dark matches... I think it stems from all the people in creative who really liked him being gone and then they have so many people you just get lost in the shuffle unless a writer happens to like you. |

So if anything, Burke fading out was really unusual considering the timing. |

In protest, I'm going to watch TNA this week. It's 8 PM. Let's see how long I last.
Pray for me. Oh my God, is that a new Impact theme song? It's ****ing horrible. Not in the "eventually you'll be singing along to it" Papa Roach or "Move to the Music" way, either. Samoa Joe, MCMGs, AJ Styles, Jay Lethal... how does TNA suck so badly, again? Oh yea- lol boogers, way to put Shelley over. "Christian, what are your thoughts?" "L-A-T-E-R-Z, lates!" Taylor Wilde is Canadian, yet her attire and video are filled with American imagery. This would be a perfectly normal wrestling thing if she weren't billed as being from Toronto. You couldn't say "Orlando, Florida" or something? Jesus. So hey, an "MCMGs resent Joe and AJ" storyline would be too simple and make too much sense, right? Where's the twist? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Jesus Christ I hate TNA. 38 minutes may be my limit.

Honestly, the way that Lethal-Sting match ended wasn't too bad if they set it up as the Originals eventually overcoming an internal power struggle to band together and take down the
"I, Mike Tenay, have NEVER seen a professional wrestling faction abuse the wrestlers of a company like this before. I was legally blind when Kevin Nash used Rey Mysterio Jr. as a lawn dart in 1996, and remained so through the year 2002 when I got laser surgery." That would be, dare I say, priceless.

It's bizarre watching TNA and WWE right now. Both should be building new stars. And both are basically doing everything they can to keep the old guard on top.

It's not like Jeff Hardy and Vladimir Kozlov have been headlining PPVs for very long.

Following the news of Yada's departure from World Wrestling Entertainment, a number of fans speculated online that Yada was being let go as a result of the recent hiring of former TNA Knockout Gail Kim, who is of course Asian too. As it turns out, the speculation appears to be correct. According to one source, as soon as WWE signed Gail Kim (who is indeed under contract to the company), both Vince and Stephanie McMahon felt there was no reason to have Yada on the roster anymore since "they looked too much alike."
-- Ken Doane (a.k.a. Kenny Dkystra) removed his blog from Myspace.com today that he posted yesterday about being happy about his WWE release due to the attention it was receiving online. In it's place, Doane wrote "I took down my past blog cause dirt sheets were making such a big deal about it. oh well, **** happens. wonder if they will put this one up on the site too." |

Actually I have a better question, how the **** do some of these guys get fired while people like ****ing Snitsky still have a job?
Oh and Bob Holly, boy these are great decisions. I've seen some speculation that Elijah's appearance on Ghost Hunters hurt him, mainly because he was absolutely shooting on how the diva's suck and how the diva search is a complete joke. Last edited by Mecca; 11-14-2008 at 01:53 PM.. |
