what was the Killswitch?

I think it was the name of that atomic drop into a powerbomb move he still does.

weird I do not remember it being called that

I also do not remember those dreadful yellow pants

John Felix Anthony Cena

Remember beardless Daniel Bryan? Ugh!

I don't get it.

James Storm couldnt get the crowd to give two shits about his match and it was in his hometown. #TNAFails

I actually started singing this when I got to the first "But then I got high".

"A-E-I-O-U... and sometimes W..."

Thats really the terriable thing about TNA. They've got all kinds of talent from the indies, some people that can still cut a promo, or phone in a match that are legends, the matches themselves, can be really good, but they can't get it togather.

And I don't really enjoy ROH when I watch it but there are alot of people that do. I kinda wish ROH was in the spot with weekly cable that TNA is. They offer a completely different product in the same genre. They have at least proven they can keep shit going.

The only way I can really see the WWE getting better is if there not the only game in town. They need someone completely outside of them to push them. CHIKRA is too niche, and PWG still needs a massive level of growth.

The sad thing about ROH is they can't be like ECW. ECW was edgy and new, no one saw barbed wire before. Unless you were a VHS tape junkie and got stuff from FMW, or IWA. Going back to a very cut and clean style doesn't get over like the ECW stuff did. And even ECW had help from the WWE cause at least someone saw what was coming. You can't say that about ROH.

Kinda drunk and rambled.

...because it bears repeating in a thread someone will actually read:

Most of that stuff you just explained could also be said for WWE (Angles start and stop for no reason, pushes get derailed, cheap finishes to TV matches). Fortunately WWE has SOME beacons of light to make the stuff like that bearable. Also, they've earned the ability to not put on stellar shows regularly.

Oh, and the talent is better. Also, TNA does more "What the fuck was the point of that" stuff like giving away titles via opening lock boxes. lol

Thought it was title matches,or it was once but its TNA so you never know. I actually like the feast or fired concept i just don't like how they actually do it by opening the cases on TV rather than the PPV but that seems to be the way they do things,using a PPV to promote free TV.

Wasn't there was that clusterfuck Knockouts match where four of them won a random key to open a box containing one of the three Knockouts titles or a pet spider?

Yeah that rings a bell,sadly.

But TNA does this on a pretty regular basis. An occasional "misstep" happens in WWE, so insert your random "Sin Cara" joke here. But for every Evan Bourne (who was suspended with cause AND THEN got injured), TNA will trump that with a Jay "future of this business, brother!" Lethal who was merely shown the door because PONIES!

It would be like if Brock Lesnar came out to tonight's RAW, he and Cena have another brawl, Cena gets carted out by an ambulance and a shot of a laughing Brock over the announcers going all "MY GOD! WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THE WWE!!!" to go off the air... then we never see Brock ever again. No payoff, or even half-ass transition into something else. No "Wellness" firing or some sort of injury or life threatening anything. Just *poof*, no longer on television and never mentioned again. How many people would cry "WTF?!"

Now multiply that by about once every 2-3 months, and you have a better idea of the zoo that is TNA. And that's just one part of what I was trying to point out.

One part of the show that everyone brave enough to watch semi-consistently has been Austin Aries, and even he got the boot before. Twice. No matter how over he gets or even if he's still holding the X-Division title, I would not be surprised if they cut him from the roster again. If they have cause or not, I would just write it off as TNA being TNA.

I had a dream last night where I was playing some WWE12 style game. I was Molly Holly, the online person was Triple H. I won with a springboard drop kick.

I love how Ryan Clark hypes his stuff.

TNA is certainly worse but let's not downplay WWE's ineptitude. Between this (Can we go ahead and just call it anticlimactic and admit they never knew where it was going) Ryder/Eve thing that JOHN CENA actually played a huge part in and Jericho's cryptic videos leading to the silent/crying promos that came to a head with "Haha. Trolled you. Anyway, moving on...", the WWE's writers have no idea what they're doing in the long run.

The fact that TNA manages to have WORSE writers makes me wonder how the pool of wrestling writers in the world can be so dry.

Yeah Hanso was right all along:-\

What did Hanso say?

Basically it was leading to nothing.

+ The poor kayfabe reason behind the Kane/Orton fued
+ The poor kayfabe reason behind the Kane/Cena fued (and the lacklustre end to the fued)
+ The whole Kane vs Edge fued
+ The "blinded by the urn" spot
+ 90% of all storylines involving Kane
+ The way they make one "Diva" important enough to cycle into a title match only to forget they exist the following month
+ Nexus attacking and burying The Undertaker
+ Cena attacking and "burying" Nexus
Etc

There's a smorgasbord of bad booking/writing decisions made in WWE

Y'know what I'd love to see?

A book/article about where all these abandoned angles would have ended up.

Said it in a different thread but it would make a great show on the WWE network.

Gah. The Nexus/Taker thing. Forgot all about that one. It all comes down to them coming up with an idea that only constitutes a beginning and then just letting it trail off because they can't think of an end. But they start the storyline anyway, maybe have some peaks and valleys (like with Cena/Eve/Ryder) but can never come up with an end.

Seriously, its like a really basic amateur writing issue. And these guys are PROFESSIONALS getting paid tons and succumb to it on a regular basis. I don't get it.

I remember it used to bug me during the attitude era when guys would randomly disappear mid way through an angle without explanation,only later i noticed they were in ECW or WCW as someone else.

I think alot of it comes down to unexpected stuff, injuries/wellness violations etc. , but some of the stuff XL posted was just lazy.

CM Punk ‏ @CMPunk Close
Fish and chips will trend world wide.

It's pretty much all laziness. None of the stuff I'm thinking of comes down to unexpected stuff. It's not like I'm gonna call Edge's sudden retirement "bad booking" or anything.

Nexus ended kinda shitty with Bryans 'release' and then Skips injury, granted it was booked badly once Cena was involved but i think those took alot of the steam out of it. I think again,alot of it comes down to how much is changed week to week, if the reports are accurate Vince still has mad turns where Raw is getting rewritten every week so its hard to book consistently in that case.
