All posts related to pro rasslin’ that isn’t covering specific shows or events.
Taken in context (feeling miserable due to the rigorous training in gaining and maintaining an impressive physique at his less than ripe age), it makes sense that he’d feel that way. But out of context, it’s hilarious.
Also, new fodder for me to use in future posts.
The following is a transcript of a segment from Episode #70 of the DTM-Cast, slightly adjusted for text format.
A couple weeks ago, Impact Wrestling has finally dumped the much-maligned TNA moniker and pretty much dumped the prior management for its idiotic decision-making and things of that nature. So what we’re going to get from here on out is a new product that’s pretty much the same as the old product. A Global Force of wrestling, if you wheel… or actually, don’t wheel. It’s not worth it.
There was a video here where Ric gave a speech and started crying, but it’s been taken down.
But there’s a picture of the statue at least. That looks pretty damn good, actually.
I’d call this a spoiler, but since this was announced on the Impact Wrestling twitter, I’ll leave it out in the open.
Anyone read that long rambling post I did on the “new” Impact Wrestling. If not, give it a whirl if you’ve got nothing better to do, but I want to bring up this one blurb.
The main event was shit. Never mind the lack of excitement over a World title match between Booby Lashley and Alberto El Beevis; the match was slow, plodding, lacking any semblance of energy or anticipation. I’ve seen Giant Gonzales matches more exciting than this. On top of that, the classic cliche of TWO REF BUMPS and a BELT SHOT to give the new guy the title in a title match that the new guy got because he’s a former WWE guy… and then you have the refs bicker and that might be teasing a Dusty Finish and…
Guess what just happened? Alberto Del Paige has relinquished the World title and it’s going back to Lashley.
And so that whole main event business was completely fucking pointless!
And I fucking called it. Where’s my money?
Now that’s more like it. It’s simple, straightforward, not at all an eyesore, and it doesn’t look stupid like the last one did with the giant blue bird. Good job, Anthem logo guys. Good job, indeed.
Have a cookie.
Presently watching the Kevin Owens/Goldberg match at Fastlane. Here’s some hard-hitting commentary for this exciting match-up.
10:51 p.m. Goldberg makes his way to the ring.
10:53 p.m. Kevin Owens is standing on the stage
10:54 p.m. Kevin Owens makes his way to the ring.
10:55 p.m. Ring introductions are made. Goldberg chants are loud.
10:56 p.m. Trash talk followed by KO leaving the ring.
10:57 p.m. KO still walking. Goldberg gives a thumbs up.
10:58 p.m. KO about to walk in, drops back down.
10:59 p.m. KO on apron, steps in ring, walks out… bell hasn’t rung yet. Waiting for Jericho to show up because of course he will.
11:00 p.m. Oh there he is. Bell rings, KO gets speared, jackhammer, match over. New champion of the universe.
Well, that was a surprise… not.
The Fastline musings will be up this Thursday on the blog for those who care. Oh, by the way, I’m copying this bit for that piece, so…
Apparently, somebody is making a porn parody out of that Montreal Screwjob. This according to one of the stars of said parody who calls herself, Romi Rain.
Shit like this just can’t be made up…
From rajah.com, here’s the rumored Wrestlemania 33 card that’s been floating around recently. Plans are always subject to change and it’s possible that what we get could be different from what’s been rumored. I’ll save some further thoughts for after the break, but suffice it to say, I’m not exactly excited for this card.
The card is listed after the break.
Been considering putting some doodles of mine up online for all to enjoy or mock, whatever floats your boat. Here’s a doodle of the Huckster pointing at a wall, somewhat inspired by one of Hogan’s WCW promos during the company’s final years. The markers I used aren’t fantastic, but they worked well enough for a quick thing.
So this is the new Impact Wrestling logo courtesy of the Anthem Sports company who bought TNA. Since everyone has said their piece in recent weeks, I might as well chime long after this bares relevance in regards to anything.
So… this is a really stupid looking logo. Not offensive, but just really stupid.
Even without the obnoxious blue bird hovering over the title, this still looks like some amateur found some text warping features in an ancient version of Paint Shop Pro, drew a couple extra lines, and VOILA! New logo! It is a considerable stepdown from the previous Impact Wrestling logo (which I didn’t care much for, either.)
Any chance we can go back to the show’s original logo from 2004-2011… you know, the one they had before “wrestling mattered” or whatever their stupid tagline was.
