  1. Tax Time

    For all you fellow Americans April 15 is approaching. I just finished filing for this year and I still hate it. Although having kids helps a lot. You get a nice little refund so this year we'll probably hit Hershey Park. Disney World was last year but this year my idea,(Universal), was...
  2. Global Championship

    It's pretty clear now now that they want Rob Terry to be a monster wrestler who can't be stopped. It's a hard sell on a title with less than two years history on a guy who hasn't been in a good match yet. Squashes aren't the way to get a champion over. Having near falls and taking bumps seem...
  3. Try Elevation X Again?

    The first one in 2007 with Rhino and AJ Styles was a cool and new spin on the old scaffold matches from the 80's. It was suspenseful and had great storytelling. The crowd chanting "please don't die" and the way AJ was moving around made you think something bad might happen. I don't want...
  4. When Did You Start Watching TNA?

    January 2005, there was an episode of Impact on 11pm Saturday night. My wife, (then girlfriend), decided to stay in and she enjoys wrestling too. The first wrestler on there when it came to Spike was AJ Styles. He was on the top of the ramp talking to Petey Williams and Chris Sabin about...
  5. Will Roode and Storm Be Successful Singles Now?

    They began solo careers in 2007-early 2008 and really looked like they hit a dead end. Roode was feuding with Booker T and Storm Rhino. Both of those started well but it looked like they no plans for them so they threw them together. 2 years later we have a different story. Beer Money, as...
  6. Was Your Governor Told to Resign?

    The last few days there's been a story that several US governors were sent letters and told to resign in 3 days or face a coup or hostile removal. I work for the State of NC and I can tell you that Gov. Bev Perdue is very maligned by most state employees. When she began her term last year...
  7. Cryme Tyme...EXPLODES!!

    Ok, so maybe they won't headline Wrestlemania next year but Shad beating the tar out of JTG could be something for Shad. He's the bigger and more menacing of the two and could be seen as a "Vince" guy. If he changes his attire and starts talking more, could we be seeing the first seeds to...
  8. No More Surprise Cash-ins Please

    When Edge handed Vince McMahon his briefcase and won the WWE after John Cena was in the Elimination Chamber, THAT was a great surprise. Does anyone realize that RVD is the only time when they had a real match to win the title? It sucks this way. Now Swagger has done it and it feels stale...
  9. What Exactly is Abraham Washington?

    Ever since he debuted with his show on ECW, I kept waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for some face to challenge him to a match...never happened. Then ECW ended and where is he? Does anyone know anything about what his role is really supposed to be?
  10. Steps You Might Take To Help TNA

    There's a lot of griping in this board, (includes me too), but, I like TNA as the alternative. I've always said their place on the market is existence not superiority. We need another national promotion. One company is boring. What priorities should TNA have other than competing with the...
  11. Keep RVD/Hardy as a Team

    I like this pairing. So much so that I'd rather they stay as a team for now so they don't have too many feuds right away. RVD/Hardy vs. MCMG sounds like a great possible match. Or against Beer Money. They have great chemistry together and should have a nice run with the titles to get warmed...
  12. Two More Group Ideas

    I've seen that are three main groups, Member, Legend, and VIP. I won't count mods or admins. Being wrestling nerds, (I'm assuming), there are other monikers that have become acceptable, Icon and Hall of Famer. I haven' seen either of those tags on any names so it's just a thought. I...
  13. Has Daniels Outgrown X-Division?

    I think by now he has. I was so happy he was in the world title match with Joe and Aj and then had his own singles title match. He performed very well and I thought he might be going on to bigger feuds. Then comes Sean Morley who beats him,(wtf?), and now he's doing great things again in the...
  14. No Black World Champions

    There's hasn't been one since Booker T. Ron Simmons was the first 18 years ago. JYD was the champion in UWF in the 70's. Ron Killings has a short run in TNA. The Rock is the most popular. Why is that I can't count the number of black champions? If there were more someone please tell me...
  15. Long Title Reign for AJ?

    TNA really needs a good long title reign and since AJ is their "franchise" player, he should keep this belt until BFG. One year title reigns are very difficult in the 24 hour wrestling world. However, AJ started out as a face champion and turned heel while still having the title. I don't...
  16. Should Edge Use His Power, If He Has Any

    Edge is a megastar, Christian is not. Both have a huge following of fans. Christian can wrestle and re-paid some dues in the last year since he returned. He carried Swagger, Dreamer and even Shelton to some great matches. Edge has hit the stratosphere since 2006. He must have some...
  17. Jerry Lawler Out, Matt Striker In

    Once upon a time, Jerry Lawler was a great heel announcer in the same mold as Bobby Heenan and Jesse Ventura. Lately he's become a stuttering and inarticulate douche. Matt Striker provides history and insight into even the most trivial of details. This makes him appear to be more...
  18. Importance of Leaving the Impact Zone

    2008 was a real step forward for ppv locations. 8 of 12 were held somewhere else. TNA may never break any attendance records but they were trying to get exposure somewhere else. Even though the sets were the same you could tell they were in a larger arena. I understand if they're keeping...
  19. Under the Radar Cultural Event

    We know the deal with the Super Bowl and how big that is every year. For us wrestling fans, tonight is the Super Bowl. It also got me thinking, this has got to be just as big or even bigger than the Super Bowl, media coverage notwithstanding here. It's not on network tv, ok, but WWE has...
  20. Shelton Benjamin...Official Money in the Bank Mascot

    I mean really, what else will he ever do? He's been in every MITB since its inception and hasn't had a meaningful feud since Chris Jericho in 2005. What happened? I know he hasn't the mic skills but certainly his athleticism could've made up for it by now right? Should he just try his...
