I might be thinking of LockDown actually. I'll pop in and watch a couple segments tomorrow (non Hogan ones) and see.

It was the PPV before LD (VR I think?) That REALLY was overkill on the Twitter. Like, almost enough to make you want to turn off the PPV overkill.

I never knew RVD was a draw. He didn't draw in WWE did he?

I guess our opinion of TNA differs atm. I think TNA this time a month ago I think was a LOT better than the current product. I remember being more excited for TNA than for RAW. It might be longer than a month ago actually. It was when we actually saw youth, the stars we want to see, rather than the old guys. I don't care about the odd Flair promo or something but Hogan getting 20+ minutes weekly just kills me inside. I compare it to knowing that Jerry Lawler will have a segment every week, if he did, I'd boycott RAW.

That mixed with Eric Bischoff and Garrett Bischoff is enough for me to YouTube it instead. Then you have the minor inconveniences where Styles isn't used what I want him to be (all personal preference though) and them slamming Twitter down our throats more than WWE.

They only talk about twitter on PPVs (rarely mention and most the time not at all unless telling us Dixie Carter's twitter)

Styles/Daniels/Kaz in a feud is awesome & will result in a good PPV match

Eric is off TV for now, but I do agree that Garett is really stupid

RVD was one of the most, if not the most, over guy in WWE in 2001-2002 -- do you not remember that?

I think you're selling bob short there Puls3 he was mad over well into 2005 from what I remember.

Yeah true he was still over w/ Kane as his partner but not as MEGA over as he was before HHH decided that he wasn't ready to give the belt up and made RVD lose at Unforgiven '02

then the ECW revival happened in what 05?

so to think about it

RVD was over pretty much his entire career in WWE but he was MEGA over in 2001-2002

Yeah, but a lot of the things they did with Twitter were actually pretty good. Asking wrestlers questions, talking about what the fans are tweeting on the air, getting fan reaction to the Gut Check participants, etc. Granted, they definitely went into overkill mode at VR and screwed it up at Lockdown, but at least they were trying to do something productive with it instead of acting like a bunch of egotistical jackasses.

Don't think they've mentioned Twitter on Impact yet, other than adding hashtags to random things, Gut Check, and Bully Ray making fun of WWE that one time.

Same here. They exhausted the hell out of me with that crap, but one of the few things they did right with it is Aries live tweeting during the match and the fans' questions actually being read, so they can feel like a part of the show. That's a good use, but generally, it was still an overkill.:burns:
