I might be the only wrestling fan on here that doesn't like WWE.

Oh, I watch WrestleMania every year. I can never miss that. Otherwise no WWE. I prefer TNA, Ring of Honor, SHIMMER Women Athletes, New Japan, All Japan, Pro Wrestling NOAH and Dragon Gate.


I have been watching TNA for a while now and a couple of things really stand out...and they aren't good things.

1) The announcers are OBVIOUSLY reading from a script. Tenay and that other goof just have no real " delivery " in their announcing.

2) Although the six sided ring is kinda cool, it does not make for good wrestling action. You can tell that there are times ( way too may of them ) that the guys go into an Irish Whip and have no idea whether they are going to go to the ropes or into a corner. The ring completely screws up the timing required to make the action at least LOOK realistic.

3) Even the promos are all scripted. At least in WWE, if someone is good on the mic, Vince will allow them to go " off the cuff " in their promos. The guys may rehearse what they are going to say, but when something unexpected comes up, they can adjust easily to it. One good example I can think of in WWE is a Cena promo that was on two weeks ago on Raw. Cena broke into a Harry Carey impression and the camera had to cut away from Stephanie McMahon because she could barely keep a straight face. You see that kind of thing happen quite a bit. Especially when Triple H and Shawn Michaels were doing DX promos. 80% of the stuff they did was rehearsed, but that other 20% was completely ad lib. THOSE are the best kinds of promos.

All of those things work against TNA. The show lacks spontaneity. The product could be really good if Jarrett would allow the guys a little more freedom. Of course, it would also help if he didn't keep hiring WWE castoffs like Booker T. I know you are a Booker fan, but the guy just has very few mic skills. He isn't all that great a performer either.

All of those things work against TNA.


I disagree with your six sided ring theory. I don't see how it affects the action at all. The only reason they have a six sided ring is because it looks distinctive. TNA didn't invent it either; AAA in Mexico and Toryumon X in Japan were the first organizations to use a six-sided ring, and there you had some of the most fast-paced wrestling in the world.

I don't know if they script what Tenay and Don West say word for word. There's no way to prove it; I hear what you're saying, but they give that impression because they don't have the same chemistry as such legendary announcing combos as Ross-Lawler, Schiavone-Heenan and Monsoon-Ventura. Simply put, Tenay never struck me as a great choice to call blow-by-blow. I always thought Tenay was better in the know-it-all sidekick role like he was with Schiavone in WCW.

I don't think Tenay and West are neccessarily deserving of all the criticism they get, but then again, this is coming from a guy that had to listen to Eric Bischoff commentate on Nitro for years. After you've listened to Bischoff speak, anybody sounds good.laugh

Of course Tenay's tendency to needlessly deliver relentless hyperbole---he goes nuts with every single common thing you see happen in the ring---does sometimes deliver that impression that he's speaking from a script, I think he's just never been fully comfortable as the face man of a major promotion. He's much better as a second hand broadcaster in which his sole purpose is to elaborate on the moves/holds called by the blow-by-blow man.

One thing I strongly agree is your opinion with is TNA's nonstop pursuit of WWE talent. To say the least, I am sick of it. Of them all, Kurt Angle and Team 3D were the only signings that made sense because TNA could use the established stars...but having bums like Christian Cage, Rhino, and most assuredly Booker T (who for some reason I can't understand is speaking with a Jamaican accent now; most likely Vince Russo's doing) just displaces the guys that give TNA its identity, namely Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, The Motor City Machine Guns, etc.

Booker T is the best example of a bright prospect that wrestles elsewhere for a few years, then goes to WWE and suddenly it's likes he's forgotten how to wrestle. Booker never regained the ability to have good matches that he had in WCW with men like Benoit just a year prior to his WWE signing, and that old brilliance hasn't returned since he joined TNA. Sadly, Booker is just one of many WWE stars to have developed what I call the WWE complex.tears

Me and Mary Jane Watson had an adulterous affair awhile back.pitchfork

Happened while she was married to Peter Parker. I was actually responsible for the complete and utter nervous collapse of Spiderman in an ongoing saga that was never recorded in the comics chronology.

Ok, i know i'm going to catch hell for this but ohwell

why is it that you see really unattractive girls walking around wearing shirts that say "I'm sexy" or "you know you want me" or some other slogan implying they are something that they themselves no they are not. Same with screen names...'sexy this' or 'gorgeous that' and no where near even remotely attractive.

I know i'm not the most desirable guy around but you'd never catch me wearing a shirt that said that i was...it's false advertising.

So why do woman who know they are not what their shirt says still insist on wearing them? same with really big girls wearing belly shirts and getting belly button piercingsscared why?


You cannot fault perceived unattractive people for having the confidence to wear a me-so-sexy article of clothing. It's their business, really.

Here's an obscure one, It's called "28 Days Later"

(I am Legend, with Will Smith, was sort of a take off of this movie: But 28 Days Later is better).



Can't go wrong with George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" (the Original).
I always like "Aliens" better (which was the 2nd part)


I thought I Am Legend was better.

28 Weeks Later has some really nasty and disturbing **** that's not ghost or slasher related.

This may be a silly question, but I wonder if there's some connection between the way in which a gifted human savant thinks and the chimp thinks?

I wonder if you used a human savant subject, giften in numbers, if they would be equal, maybe even exceed what the chimp does?

Just a curiosity.

Good clip, thanks Bushi.


Actually, possibly not. They've done memory test comparisons pitting chimpanzees against high level university students. The chimps most often win.

For all our superior brain power, chimps have a more-highly evolved memory center, at least when it comes to sequences. Why and how they evolved such an ability is anyone's guess, but evidently they have.

Wicker Man, Perfect Storm and AI are all up there.

The Invisible was another one. I watched that one in Edmonton, and I've never seen a movie that moved the whole audience to tears like that.

Maybe there's just something in the water in Edmonton. Or maybe their shoes were on too tight.laugh

Alright, so my family and I are really corny at times and actually have movie nights. We generally go for the horror films. They sometimes pick out the predictable slasher films or the i'm-a-ghost-i'm-going-to-haunt-you-because-i-was-wronged type movies. I'm bored of those, so I wanna pick out a really GOOD horror film, like one that'll make anybody jump.

Any ideas? :)


I recently saw Mirrors...thought it was pretty good. It's not about a ghost per se...

Strangers has nothing whatsoever to do with the supernatural...supposedly based on a true story it was.

Oh yeah..but you said no slashers...

its only negative to married people.

i mean not to sound trivial but there was a sex in the city episode once where the girls faced off with their now married friends and they talked about how when people become married..

their single friends become freakin lepers.


and regardless to what you think of the show.. they're right. man. it sucks when pals get married and then.. no pals no more.


I know exactly what you mean...A lady friend who I was pretty tight with...we could talk about anything...then she gets married, and nothing changed at first...but when she had her first kid, all of a sudden I wasn't a friend anymore.:cry:

It bothers me to this day.

I don't get why it seems in the U.S. culture that its such a negative thing to be single.


When I was going to university, a woman wrote something on the back of one of those plastic things the cafe had set up on its table. I forget precisely what it was, but it was something along the lines of, "If you don't shag someone every night you're a loser," or something similarly ignorant.

I'm sure that same chick is now overweight with four kids she didn't want and herpes to top it off.ohwell

but i'm just afraid that i won't find a decent guy or hell "man" to love both my child and i because lets face it, if you don't love my little girl you can forget about me because she will always come first and i want the best for her and her not having a daddy in her life is just not fair! but most of the guys my age, 19. are still in there prime and want to party. i chose to party earlier on in my life and now i've matured a lot faster then most girls my age. but i guess everything happens in mysterious ways and maybe just maybe mr. right will show up someday. if not i'll have to play both roles for my daughter, mommy and daddy.


As a man, I was through with partying by my early-20s. I hope that comes as a comfort.:smile:

my IQ is over 9000 ^_^


Last time i checked highest IQ in the U.S. was a 194. His job? Bouncer at a bar...

Moral of the story.. your IQ doesn't mean crap if you lack any kinda of motivation.

I'll take a Honest/loyal/hardworking 100 IQ person against a lazy/fat/lying 175 IQ person anyday of the week.

btw 136- smart, just to stupid to know when to shut up... true story.




Correction: the highest listed IQ. I wonder how many actual geniuses have never had their IQs tested. The great physicist Stephen Hawking probably has an IQ in the range of 190-200, but when asked his IQ, he admitted he did not know what it is. He furthermore stated that "People who boast about their IQ are losers."laugh
