Members Ryan Posted February 15, 2006 Members Share Posted February 15, 2006 I think what TNA is trying to do is showcase their entire roster. And obviously what they are doing isn't hurting them seeing as how their ratings are still strong. It's hard to showcase your roster with a 60 minute show, but TNA is making the most out of their time, something that the WWE didn't do. They (the WWE) figured they could just throw whoever on the show because their late night time slots began to mean nothing to them. I am so happy that Christian is the new World Champ. I just hope that he doesn't lose it to Jarrett anytime soon. In my honest opinion, TNA needs like a middle title once they get a two hour show. Though the X-Division doesn't have limits, many of the guys who have held the title will never be NWA champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dipsetla Posted February 18, 2006 Members Share Posted February 18, 2006 news on CM Punk's heat with WWE Tommy Dreamer told CM Punk that he could work ROH's date last Sat. with the conditions of he couldn't be advertised, he couldn't job, he couldn't wrestle or be involved with anyone from TNA, and it could only be a one time thing. From there Dreamer left to do an indie date in England. He didn't tell anyone else in WWE that he gave Punk permission including Johnny Ace. Meltzer said the situation "exploded" at Raw on Monday. Vince and Steph went up to Ace and gave him a bunch of heat asking him why he let a member of WWE appear on a show with "so many TNA stars". Even though a lot of the wrestlers by this time knew that Punk did the ROH show (as well as it being on the net), Meltzer said Ace was "blindsided" by the McMahon's appoarch. All the heat then went to Punk and he told them Dreamer approved of it, so then Dreamer got the final heat. Meltzer said from day one guys like HHH, HBK, Hayes, and even Arn Anderson have been all over Punk about his work rate. Anderson goes along with HHH and says that Punk "copies" a lot of popular moves from Japan. Meltzer also added that Punk's relationship with Maria "doesn't help matters". He didn't go into detail and I'm really curious as to what he meant. credit: Wrestling Observer Newsletter btw, JayV your the first person I have ever heard or read to say that Kane was there favorite wrestler.

Members Joe Posted February 21, 2006 Members Share Posted February 21, 2006 What a surprise! Trips and Candice won their matches! Although I didn't know about the Diva's match, once they said it was for the number one contendership, I knew Candice would win. I'd actually be shocked if she didn't beat Stratus next week to win the title seeing as she'll be on the cover of Playboy heading into Mania. BTW, was it me or was Trish smokin' tonight?! BTW, I saw on WWE.com that Ashely got injured during the match and will be out of action for a month. No surgery, but she'll be in a cast for at least 4 weeks.

Members Ryan Posted February 21, 2006 Members Share Posted February 21, 2006 I actually thought for a minute that RVD might win. I like HHH though and I'm glad he won. I'd rather him be champ than Cena. Candice announced on Jay Leno that she'd be fighting for the Women's Championship at Mania, so I knew that would happen.

Members Joe Posted February 21, 2006 Members Share Posted February 21, 2006 I didn't see her on Leno, so I didn't know, LOL. But they said this match was for next week on RAW. As for Trips, I don't know how much of what's on those internet sites is true or not, but I heard the reason Edge lost the title is because Trips wanted it at Mania, which meant the Champ needed to be a face, which meant it had to go back to Cena. I'm as sick as Cena as the next guy and I really enjoyed Edge's title run. I remember seeing some shoot interview with Billy Gunn and Road Dogg and they were bashing Triple H saying he'll step over anyone to get to the top. They also made a point of saying that Orton was a victim of that. I guess if this is all true, Edge can also be added to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted February 21, 2006 Members Share Posted February 21, 2006 Most of what the internet sites say has a ring of truth to it. I used to run a wrestling news site and I still keep in contact with two of my sources. What I was told was the reason why Orton got the title taken away from his was b/c they realized they turned Evolution against him way too fast and realized it was a mistake having him be the face, instead of Evolution being the faces. The title was taken off of Edge b/c Vince felt the fans had stopped booing Cena. Vince wants the title on Cena b/c his merchandise is one of the highest selling right now and they don't want to lose that. Had Edge kept the title, Triple H would have turned face and went up against Edge. It wasn't HHH's call to have the belt taken from Edge. It was Vince's. Triple H only sits on the creative team during his absences from tv. Over the summer, Triple H was responsible for Edge getting the push that he did over Matt Hardy and Kane, as well as making sure that Batista stayed the World Champion.

Members Joe Posted February 21, 2006 Members Share Posted February 21, 2006 I had no idea about that. Shows how little I actually know, LOL. On those sites they really make Trips out to be the guy who's using his position within 'The Familiy' to get the belt back around his waist.

Members Ryan Posted February 21, 2006 Members Share Posted February 21, 2006 Don't get me wrong, Triple H does play "politics" backstage, but so does Austin, Taker, Rock, HBK, Hogan, etc. The only reason why Trips gets hated on is b/c he's married to Stephanie. He is doing something that many of his peers have done in the past and present. I do believe that the WWE turns to him when things are going down the crapper and it doesn't make fans too happy. He gets accused of "always being in the title hunt" yet he has been w/o the title for almost a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mimi Posted March 4, 2006 Members Share Posted March 4, 2006 There is no sweeter sound to me than the sound of fans booing John Cena. I am one chick who is definitly not impressed with this guy. As sick as most people are of HHH being the champ, when you think about it what other choice do they have? HBK maybe, but obviously he is too busy being involved with this ridiculously disgusting Vince storyline that makes me ill. I am the self proclaimed, biggest HHH fan alive today so I guess I am biased. Anyway, the whole Candice Michelle Vs. Trish thing is simply ridiculous, at least for Wrestlemania. Candice Michelle as absolutely 0 skills. In fact the only person who does besides Trish is Victoria, and we all know how much WWE has ruined her. They could have at least had Micki James or Ashley Massaro involved somehow, they are newer but at least they TRY. Anyway, blah blah blah I hope Carlito takes the Ladder Match at WM because Carlito is the man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
