TNA runs the original format for a Gautlet match from back in the 80's. I remember so many territories doing the same format. Also known as a Battle Royal. WWE brands it's battle royal's as Over the Top Rope to avoid confusion, IMO.

TNA's capitalizing in a smart and calculated way to eat up all the WWE customers who WWE lost due to the PPV deals they HAVEN'T signed with Dish and Direct.

Confusion. LOL
It's just like that mark, Vince McMahon, to brand something that doesn't need branding.

Well WWE does seem to think it's audience is a whole bunch of 4 year olds who have no idea what pro-wrestling is.

I don't think that's a bad idea. Calling a match a "Battle Royal" can confuse many to think what kind it is. Over the Top Rope is a better way to put it. Considering they don't have the other version than they don't need to call it Over the Top Rope.

I see your rationale. Forgive me for confusing WWE for a wrestling company.

I shall refrain from making a morning wood joke.

Come on now, be a good team player! I'm throwing you layups so you're free to dunk them. :bodallas:

Dammit all. When are you moving to the states? I need some pottsy time.

:tough:

actually you're right we do need more pottsy over here. He can save the economy, one single at at a time.
