Why?

It's got Eli Drake mentioned in it. Not watching it.

A work. I'm sure Cornette knows he's not a bad boy; just a bad wrestler.

:y:

I was going to make another joke, but thought it was too dark, so went for the ironic subversion of hatred instead. I hate him so much I want him to wrong me and get involved in my life. I was playing into my psychotic fixation on him. Click, click -- keep up.

P.S. Eli Drake is awful.

Psychotic fixation is pretty accurate. At least you know you're messed up.

You really think I didn't know that Cornette video wasn't legit?

Noid, you should maybe have a nap or something.

He needs to hibernate from wrestling for awhile.

Sane, rational people aren't going to keep up with that.

You really think I really thought you thought that Cornette video was legit?

Again, I'm playing into it. To jump on someone's own self-depreciating joke is something only an Eli Drake fan would do.

Eli Drake needs to hibernate from wrestling forever.

I'm not jumping on anything man. You just take your wrestling too seriously and have some weird fettish jokes, that's real.

yeah I tried finding that ch it is hard to get even worse then destination amarica. unlike pop which is easy to get now.

Lol, you're taking me too seriously. It's very easy to type "Fuck Eli Drake -- he's awful" and come up with elaborate and outlandish scenarios to entertain yourself. I don't stay up thinking about him -- trust me. No one does.

Good for the MLW guys. I used to enjoy some of their podcasts.

lol come on boys, pretty obvious big Noidsy was fucking around.

Eat a Snickers.

Hey Noid, I'm watching my "Best of Eli Drake" DVD I just got in the mail today. Any recommendations of where I should start?

"Start by throwing it in the fucking garbage. Dummy? Yeah! Dummy!." - The Notorious N.O.I.D.

I like that Noid goes against the grain. People say if you have to explain your jokes, they are likely not good jokes. But Noid says fuck that, I'm going to explain them. And beyond that, I'm going to do so in a long form.

#KeepNoiding #AnNoid

Watched a few 1999 WWF Metal/Jakked episodes on youtube. I used to tape these every week. I'm not sure why lol. Lots of Shawn Stasiak/Headbangers/Gangrel/Mideon/DLo Brown/ Prince Albert. Comparing the lower card wrestlers in 99 vs the lower card wrestlers in 2000 is like night and day

lol what about Bulldog. So fucking depressing.

Lol Bulldog was a Sunday Night Heat regular

I still love John Morrison

does there have to be drama at every impact tapings set in the last 2 years we had rosemary get arm almost pulled out then we get Edwards almost lose an eye, then alberto no shows now this.

Start by dousing it in gasoline, then move onto the match.

It doesn’t help that I’ve got an obsessive-compulsive gimmick when I’m trying to make light of that. Whoops.

I also still love John Morrison, and would welcome him back in a heartbeat.

John Morrison is incredible and has been forever. The slow motion entrance with his hair blowing in the wind....man if I ever get to see that again I will pop so hard lol.

Would love to see him on Smackers mixing it up with Bryan, Styles, Joe, Nakamura, Cesaro and Hardy. There’s even interest in a Miz match from me.

understood, kind sir.

Morrison is dope. Always has been.

Dope.

I can't say for sure who all would be on the Mount Rushmore of Wrestling but I know for sure Ric Flair is on it.

Flair, Bret, Hogan, Undertaker, Savage.

mt rushmore traditionally is only 4

For me its Vince, Hogan, Austin, Rock but goddamn there are so many names that could be up there instead

I hate Jimmy Fallon.

Hogan, Cena, Rock, Austin.

Dolph Morrison.

*Chest slap WHOOO!

But then what about the Goldust Trio? Jim Londos? Lou Thesz? There have been plenty of proportionate draws that exist outside the national expansion era. Hell, some would credit Vince with the death of wrestling, when you look at things outside the WWF/E or long-term. Limiting a list to four is way too hard, and you probably should do it for region, and maybe by decade, and just give up this century.

Bruno, Hogan, Austin, Cena

The thing is, limiting it to four is so difficult, I haven't seen any responses to it in this thread that I would disagree with. I had Rock and Sammartino interchanged, but I also felt like you need to put Vince in there. But if you don't put Vince, but put Flair, theres also a case for Lou Thesz. But if you take out Flair, theres a case for Rock, etc, etc.

This is pretty close. I would probably put Flair in over Cena if it really came down to it.

Hogan, Flair, and Austin would be locks for mine.

Then the last being either Vince, HBK, Rock, or Bruno. Vince if non-wrestlers are counted due to his impact on the industry, Bruno for historical reasons, and HBK/Rock for personal reasons.

Wrestlers that broke the record for biggest gates in a year:

Jim Londos
Buddy Rogers
Bob Backlund
Hulk Hogan
Steve Austin
The Rock

For what it's worth. That doesn't include Bruno, Ric Flair, Argentina Rocca, Bill Longson or anyone international.

Seems ITV is actually serious with their newest attempt at reviving World of Sport.

According to the Observer, ITV and WWE are currently in a signing spree in the UK although both have told all their new UK talents to not mention they've been signed until an official announcement is made first.

What gate record did Backlund break?

Found a stream for the TNA ppv

http://bosscast.net/ch_a.php?76

is John Morrison on the card...wikipedia said he wasn't

watched the six-man cruiserweight match and it was good...missed the first two matches and was having a conversation during the women's match (Valkyrie vs someone else named Hogan) and missed it.

Matt Sydal (Evan Bourne) vs Petey Williams for cruiserweight X-Division Title

Production values seem better than the last time I watched Impact...I like the darkened arena look but also not sure if that is because the 'Impact Zone' is 'not sold out' or on purpose.

Dezmond Xavier seemed good...Brian Cage looked like he was wrestling in his underwear...trunks sort of baggy -- but still trunks....if that makes sense.

Matt Sydal/Petey Williams was good...cringey Tommy Dreamer promo r/n....

Replaying dude hitting Eddie Edwards in face w/ baseball bat. Sami Callahan is not sorry he says.

The Moose is Loose

What time did this start...only 2 matches left after 'Ohio Versus Everything' vs Dreamer/MOOSE/Eddie Edwards

Ohio Versus Everything is a really bad faction name

Tommy Dreamer wearing black and yellow polka dots like Dusty Rhodes

According to FITE TV this is 40 bucks (wayyy overpriced)

and started 1 hr and 45 minutes ago

Crowd really into this match (possibly b/c of weapons)

Wish I saw this match, looks cool

Pentagon Jr defeats Austin Aries to become the new Impact World Champion

LOL Scott Steiner looks like he died for a second after that Frankensteiner

I get how that move incapacitated Aries but how did it knockout the other guy who landed on his knees?

What the hell..... how many titles does Austin Aries have right now, and why would somebody give Austin Aries so many titles?

Both of these choices somehow leads to a vote for Roman Reigns

I've actually done some investigating in recent history on Su Yung. Her gimmick is top notch, but her wrestling is borderline shits ...with qualifications. I don't know if she's "bad" because of the zombie gimmick, bad because she isn't exactly in matches with the best chicks on the planet on a regular basis but would improve if she were, or bad because she sucks. She is by no means Eva bad, but somewhere around Sandman. Actually, Sandman is kind of an apt comparison, because she has that intangible and takes some hellacious bumps. Hopefully, her time in TN-uh-whatever the fuck they're calling the company nowadays can shake some of the sloppy out of her, if that is really a problem and not a played up one.

Also, I appear to have missed the grilling of E. Li. Drake.

Shame. That was an internet burial I could have gotten behind. Just wish Noid didn't sugar coat things and came out and told us how he really felt...

Reverse headbutt. That answer appears to be sarcastic, but is not.

Is Dave Wadding gonna have to start watching Impact Wrestling now?!

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/i-VtAm_iLKA" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

He always does

TNA: WWE got a weird Japanese chick. We have to get one.

Most "big gates in a year." Sounds very unspecific. I just did a Google search and apparently it's a stat borrowed from Dave Meltzer. I'd say it's legit, but it just depends on how you measure "big." I doubt he would have drawn "more," if that makes sense?

Fuck, I might have to.

Pentagon rules.

I'll get it tattooed onto my forehead and explain it at every job interview for the rest of my life.

I've already got "HATE" and "DAKE" on my knuckles. The "R" didn't fit.

so how long will steiner be tag champ, the next set of tapings sound like a hoot.

Ohhhhhhhh, I thought you meant one singular event.

Lots of Backlund's big gates had Bruno Sammartino or Andre The Giant on the undercard. Especially at MSG.

That stat totally blows away the "Bruno sold out MSG 187 times" argument, which if you actually look at the attendance records, isn't an argument. He sold it put 47-50 times tops.

TNA put on a good show. Fuck me.

Not surprising, it looks like he landed face first on the mat.

Did not expect Pentagon to win the Impact World title. Speaking of the new title looks pretty good, tag titles aren't bad and the X Division title didn't change much. I do like that they incorporated the owl into their titles though. Interested to see how the next set of tapings go and the build for Slammiversary. I like what they are doing with the collaboration with other companies and hope it continues as tapings last year just didn't mesh well together and every set seemed like a different show.

Haven't liked her on Impact and I don't think her and Allie work well together. The timing of her coming in is weird as well. Laural Van Ness was doing the crazy bride thing and left and Yung kind of just felt like a replacement, especially going after Allie. I'd say they'll have her do a program with Rosemary then she'll probably be done with her or at least I hope.
