Release Yoshi Tatsu, so he can return home to NJPW, and beat Tanahashi for the title.

Sort of surprised since the few episodes I watched had some good wrestling and it gave the lower and less used wrestlers some tv time but at the same time it makes sense due to the WWE barely referencing or hyping up the shows.
Most of the time I'd end up forgetting its on tv or forgot what channel it was on (Cox Cable decided to switch up the channels with wrestling a few times within a year).
Release Yoshi Tatsu, so he can return home to NJPW, and beat Tanahashi for the title.

Hope they release Chris Masters and JTG so they can go to NJPW so they can win the IWGP Tag Team Championship from Giant Bernard and Karl Anderson.

It's been over 270 days since Bad Intentions (Giant Bernard and Karl Anderson) defeated Blue Justice Army (Wataru Inoue and Yuji Nagata) and No Limit (Tetsuya Naitō and Yujiro Takahashi) for the IWGP Tag Team Championship during Dominion 6.19 in Osaka.
lol at DVLH saying Tatsu will go back to Japan after the next 'wave' of releases.

Is there a source for this?
As far as Yoshi going back to NJPW... Fuck that, Satoshi Kojima would job his ass out of there in 2 weeks.
Seriously DLVH84, go fuck yourself. This is TPWW. Only .0002% of us give a shit about puroresu. Join a different board you fuck.
What Would Kevin Do?
03-17-2011, 10:16 PM
That sucks. Really lame, since it had some great wrestling on it.
Also, like Yoshi Tatsu has any chance in hell at beating Tanahashi. Tana is a golden boy.

They should just put superstars matches on their website. I dunno why they haven't done that yet anyway.

It was never available to me anyways, since WGN isn't really carried here on the eastcoast.
I got it on DirectTv at my father's beach cottage, but not on Comcast here in Mass

He doesn't even need to do that, there are enough people here for him to be able to talk about it. But he has no desire to discuss puro or any other product as far as I can see, he's only interested in showing people his faux-intellect when it comes to all things wrestling, like he actually thinks people respect him or are in awe of his ability to use Google to find things out. It might be sadder than Heyman carrying on with his Lui Kang gimmick.

I had it, but didn't watch it. Seemed like it was a recap show with jobber matches for the most part.
I'm sad to see it go because now I can't insult TNA for getting ratings lower than WWE Superstars when it does.
How dare you CSL!
DVHL84 has memorised the date of every minor event in pro wrestling history! How can you not be impressed with that?
The guy should go on MasterMind (or its US equivalent). He'd walk it. Although I fear his general knowledge may let him down. Doubt the guy can remember how to walk with all that space in his brain taken up by random dates, events and locations.

Yoshi is a pro on NXT, he isnt going anywhere till his rookie is eliminated.

It's only been canned by the network so theoretically it could simply go to another channel or web-exclusive like you say.

Not in the US.
Only international markets still have NXT on tv but it might go back on tv in the US for Season 6 to go along with Tough Enough returning on tv.

lol ok guy, you keep doing your thing. I hope it brings you the validation you feel you need as a person or that you're achieving whatever you think you're achieving as a sock or troll. The only thing for sure is that it's quite tragic.

<font color=goldenrod>There's definitely gonna be a handful of releases soon anyway, as always. Everybody will get their WM payday in the pre-show battle royal and then be let go by the end of April, possibly right after the draft.</font>
I don't see a *huge* problem with it. I expect a HUGE midcard release fest in a few weeks. On top of that, WWE is just too saturated on TV. Currently, they have 6 hours of original programming, 7 if you count AM RAW. It would have been bumped up to 8 hours when Tough Enough started.
But they've had a low card show for a long time, so I do expect it to either be picked up by another network or thrown on the website.

what happened to those "velocity is coming back!" rumors?
DLVH84

On the other hand, Superstars was, more or less, treated like ECW on TNN.
BizarroKing
03-18-2011, 12:48 AM
SO by the process of elimination does this mean that TNA actually beat WWE in this case?
In a 'the 90 year old Granny living down the street beat John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King at life' kind of way I guess.
I'll miss those rivetting JTG v Tyler Reks main events, thats for sure.
Superstars was my favorite show after Velocity :(
Supreme Olajuwon
03-18-2011, 01:19 AM
I don't understand why so many people have something against giving midcarders a chance to wrestle on tv. Is that a problem for you? Because I'm pretty sure you never watched the show.

Personally, I prefer SmackDown! over RAW, because it's wrestling-oriented.

Personally, I prefer the show that gives sufficient time, opportunities, matches and storylines to lower, mid and upper card workers.

Instead of feuding with Reks and going nowhere he'll probably get a huge push/feud with Del Rio.

Impact has gotten higher ratings than Superstars for quite some time. I don't think Superstars was any kind of a threat for them. You can still insult TNA for putting Bully Ray in a main event though. I would.....

<font color=goldenrod>Regardless of what happens with Superstars - it seems like the vast majority of the Superstars brigade have reasons to stick around. Ryder, Hawkins, Barreta, and Smith are all good in the ring and really young. Kidd, JTG, and Yoshi have job security at least until NXT ends. Chavo and Regal also have NXT going for them and both guys seem like lifers even if they transition out of wrestling roles (Regal's already on the way to doing that).
Maybe it won't be that big of a spring cleaning this year.</font>

Either you're galloping to DLVH's defence or Supreme's post went completely over your head.

Wouldn't be so sure, Carlito got released mid season I think.

Last time I watched Superstars Mr. Fuji hit Crush in the back while he was on the ropes about to put Yoko away for the title.
I never recovered from that. I'm glad it's cancelled.

A big surprise but not a total shock to me that Superstars was cancelled.
WWE realizes that product image has differed since 1993. I'm not even saying that tobe funny, I really think they've had this convo and maybe axed this show as an excuse to allocate revenue into other more "relevant" shows?
It was cancelled by the network, not WWE. Decent chance it'll still be produced for the website/overseas TV ala NXT.

Which would make sense if they canceled it, or weren't the ones trying to get more wrestling on TV just like in the 90s.
