  1. With the first selection in the draft, the Blog of Doom selects....cultstatus.

    ReplyDelete
  2. I'd gladly settle for a late-round pick or UFA invite.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I guess no one told security about these things called guns. Aces and Eights aren't bulletproof.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Who goes #2 then?

    ReplyDelete
  5. That would be me. *Holding up my new jersey*

    ReplyDelete
  6. A.J. appears mostly uninterested in that idea... can't blame him.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I'm going sixth round, no. 199.

    ReplyDelete
  8. "....do you know who we ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh??"

    ReplyDelete
  9. If you would have told me that Taryn Terrell would be more relevant in wrestling than Drew McIntire I would have laughed.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I dont know if the Observer lists "Best Ring Attire" in their awards but if they did, Taryn Terrell is the winner for 2013.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm Mr. Irrelevant.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Time for some new hair extensions though. Looking even trashier than usual.

    ReplyDelete
  13. THAT was a weak-ass finish to an acceptable KO match. Bleh.

    ReplyDelete
  14. She just pinned a former world champion, while Drew is dancing and jobbing on TV (When he's on TV at all.)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Those two should definitely form a tag team. As weird as it sounds, they're entertaining together.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Here's your

  17. Here's my scouting report:

    Consistently writes reviews on shows that either took place before a majority of the posters were born or on stuff that was barely seen by anyone at all..... Came back a bit more polished after a brief run in 2009...Continues to make minor gramatical errors......Does not get harrassed as much as the other non-Scott Keith reviewers....A semi-regular participant in live RAW threads....Dislikes AJ more than others
    Consensus: 5th rd pick

    ReplyDelete
  18. They make sense together (at least until Zack Ryder gets canned and he shows up in TNA.)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow, Hemme looks particularly phenomenal tonight. Where's my foot-to-head shot?

    ReplyDelete
  20. ..you want to get a Brogue Kick?

    ReplyDelete
  21. And hopefully this detaches Rob T. from the "Bros"... TNA needs numbers now.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Tenay does not convey emotion well. He either has a 'grumpy old man face' or 'befuddled old man face.'

    ReplyDelete
  23. She definitely has that trashy hot look down, I'll give her that.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Exactly. If I got my hands on Hemme I'd just have her give me finishers all night.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Sigh... looks like Bruce's borrowing HHH's Sledgehammer of Plot there.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think you'd be one and done.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Crash and burn, Super-Mex.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Damn, that's like the fourth or fifth harsh faceplant tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Please, please, please let Los Stereotypes lose. Please?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Jesus. This is outright ridiculous.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Wow, Chavo is awful. I loved how he stood up and then ducked back down in clear view of the camera.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Chavo is quickly becoming X-Pac circa 2001.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Funny how the Mexi-types are an afterthought in all this.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Who does Chavo have compromising pictures of?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Side note: I want the Jets to pick up Teo so the internet can explode.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Dixie. And he's plugging her in 'em.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Matt Morgan. Not the man anyone wants, but the man Hulk Hogan (or Dixie Carter?) NEEDS.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Did they really call AJ Styles new submission the calf killer??

    ReplyDelete
  39. +1 for good minds thinking alike, even though we had different men in her life.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Or they're just of her massaging Just For Men into his beard.

    ReplyDelete
  41. And even though I heard it earlier, it just popped into place. Another injudicious application of the HHH Sledgehammer of Plot.


    Calfzilla (which NEEDS to be another patch on Bully's jacket), meet the Calf Killer.

    ReplyDelete
  42. So is Matt Morgan's new character supposed to be a Just Joe/Sean O'Haire pot-stirrer? Kinda weird that he's just not out there killing guys weekly.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Seriously, Matt. Get a fucking haircut.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Yet, EVERYBODY on this roster has done more to deal with A&8 than Matt Morgan. Including Joseph Park, Christy Hemme, and even Earl Hebner.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Let that man enjoy his hair plugs.

    ReplyDelete
  46. This is my nightmare. Buying tix to Slammiversary blind and get Morgan-Ray.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'd call Hogan-Ray a bigger nightmare.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Every time I see Mickie I get a sudden craving for roast beef.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Matt Morgan = Lex Luger.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Here's a strange one. You'd think the Knockouts are beneath the notice of the Aces. BUT, Bully likes screwing with Brooke. So do we get an Aces Knockout? It makes sense and no sense at the same time...

    ReplyDelete
  51. Nah. Lex at least won the big one, twice. I can see Morgan getting a title run, but at the same time it would not stun me to see him go titleless.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Of course, but there's no way Hogan's working a match. And Morgan is literally the only wretched option. They could've gone with Park, Storm, AJ, Angle, Joe, whoever, and I'd be look forward to a decent match.

    ReplyDelete
  53. We still have five weeks. It'll take at least the rest of this year for all of us to get used to this longer-term booking.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Nah. A push like this is "pics of screwing farm animals" or a "satanic ritual with minors" worthy.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Where's "D: None of the Above" for that question?

    ReplyDelete
  56. I hope Mickie's up to the task of carrying Velvet to a respectable match.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I don't think anyone is capable of doing that, not even Ric Flair in his prime after a sex transplant.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I'll give them this, this week's crowd has been solid. Shame the show's running on mediocre-average at the moment.


    This show should've been in Corpus Christi, and two weeks ago should've been here.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Ouch, that was botchfully painful.

    ReplyDelete
  60. No one got my reference.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Velvet's problem is she has no moves to pop the crowd. She needs a move like the People's Elbow and a finisher that the people will get excited for.

    ReplyDelete
  62. She's just the porniest of female wrestlers. Everything about her just screams porn. Hard to get that over as a face outside of an Attitude-type product.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Then have moves that reflect that. Add the Broncobuster to her arsenal.

    ReplyDelete
  64. This is so technically sound it reminds of Gotch-Hackenschmidt.

    ReplyDelete
  65. This is actually smart. The less Velvet has to "wrestle" the better.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Mickie's new song is "Somebody's Gonna Pay?" Does Booger Red know about this?

    ReplyDelete
  67. Anyone who has satelite radio put on Howard 101 . Awesome ddp shoot interview bout his career n helpin ou jake n hall. DDP is an awesome humanitarian, i am lovin it!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Uh, she was in the ropes.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Sigh. TNA, you are full of disappoint tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Anybody else notice the emo fat girl in the front row jumping up and down wailing after that finish? Ha ha

    ReplyDelete
  71. No, she clearly bounced off the ropes. And, uh, that's doesn't count, because WRESTLING!

    ReplyDelete
  72. Help us Bully Ray, you're our only hope.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Please don't let a Hogan join Aces and Eights.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Not even Nick? He's hard. He killed a dude.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I'd also settle for Linda. She's the only person who Hulk never got his win back from.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Love that Bully no-selled the YOOOOOOOOUUUUU finger.

    ReplyDelete
  77. +infinite to Bully for stealing the "YOU!" spot.

    ReplyDelete
  78. ...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's turned into Nitro.

    ReplyDelete
  79. So TNA's entire roster couldn't handle this group but two 60 year old man could. Splendid.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Linda is not a true Hogan.

    ReplyDelete
  81. More Le Sigh. Yeah, who needs to push new guys? Sting and Hogan can still beat those whippersnappers.

    ReplyDelete
  82. And then running from a 60 year old?

    ReplyDelete
  83. Hogan punching Bully looks like it was shot in slow motion.

    ReplyDelete
  84. But yeah, that should've been AJ instead of Sting.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Or Sting and Hogan should've been laid out anyway. Old tricks shouldn't work on new gangs.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I don't think it's hyperbole to say that whatever bump the Bully-reveal gave the Aces and Eights angle...tonight just killed it dead.

    ReplyDelete
  87. WAY too soon for it to be AJ, but Hogan bitching up Aces and Eights should not have happened.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Not that bad yet, but unless Aces KILLS Sting and Hogan next week, yeah, it's flatlined.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Aces should've just stepped back, only let one guy take a hit if needed. Not losing gang-on-two, even if one has a bat.

    ReplyDelete
  90. She no sold the divorce and refused to put the Hulkster over. That makes her a Hogan, brother.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Taking his money and not putting him over makes her a McMahon.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Ugh, tonight was not good. I'm not giving up on them yet, but this is dangerous territory they're treading into...

    ReplyDelete
  93. Dude, a 60 year old man just ran off the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. And then a second 60 year old beat up the 8-man heel faction. And starred each other down. As though this were all about them, and the payoff was a match between them. In 2013. It doesn't matter if Aces kills them next week. It's dead.


    Bully should have single-handedly beaten Hogan bloody. Then when Sting came for the save, the rest of Aces run in and beat him bloody. Credits.

    ReplyDelete
  94. This was the first ep I haven't been satisfied with.

    ReplyDelete
  95. A 60 year-old that walked like a mummy in a 50's horror flick.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Tease it now, deliver it next week. I can accept the surprise factor here "saving" Hogan.


    Remember, to the average fan, Hogan's NOT the broken down husk we know he is. THEY expect him to at least make one good stand.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Hogan will be the death of this company. And the death of any chance of another alternative getting on major tv ever again.

    ReplyDelete
  98. All the more reason why Bully should have destroyed him single-handedly. THAT is how Hogan can contribute to the product in 2013. I mean, Brock murdered him TEN YEARS AGO. WWE understood Hogan's value TEN YEARS AGO. Now he's running off the promotion's champion.



    You would have some case if there where anyway that Hogan could actually work a match, and thereby pay off the angle. It'd be a bad case, and you'd be wrong, but it'd be a case. As is, there is no case to made for building the show around Hogan vs. Sting IN 2013.

    ReplyDelete
  99. That's why you're The Guy...for now.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I'm willing to wait a week, see if Aces gets their revenge. If TNA starts to "rally" behind those two, then yes, I'll walk away without a second thought. But if this is a "hope spot", and next week Aces gets a little more violent, a little more physical, I'll be willing to let it slide.


    This could also be a drawback to their filming schedule. "Live" show ends with a "good" result, keeps the crowd up, then the taped show ends with what the storyline wants.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Just like undertaker will be the death of the shield?

    ReplyDelete
  102. I feel like you're missing my point. Or I'm not adequately communicating it. Or we just need to agree to disagree.

    I'm saying that it doesn't matter if Aces and Eights sneak attack Hogan and Sting next week to get their heat back. Because they still got their asses handed to them by two 60-year old's. And Bully still ran from a 60-year old man. And then those two 60-year old men, having dispatched all eight heels, stared each other down; thereby communicating to their television audience that (at least) this week's show is about them. And it shouldn't ever be about them, because they cannot draw money in 2013.

    Nothing that happens next week is going to alter that. And it's not as though the booking is going to pull a 180, and Bully is going to call Hogan and Sting out, and beat them both bloody.

    If that were going to happen, this week simply wouldn't have happened how it did. They are clearly building to something with Hogan and Sting, but my point is that there is no acceptable payoff to that build. Hogan cannot work a match anymore, and even if he could no one is paying to watch him wrestle Sting in 2013. Both of them should've been sacrificed to the guy that you're actually asking audiences to pay money to watch wrestle.



    That's how this business works, and both companies have forgotten that. Hogan didn't job to Andre at WM3 to set up a rematch at WM4 where Andre put Hogan over. Because they crowd respects Andre, and 50/50 booking. No. Feed that big bastard to future. Period.

    ReplyDelete
  103. In fairness, nobody in TNA draws money in 2013.

    ReplyDelete
  104. With their booking, who could be expected to? How's Bully supposed to draw as a champion when he's running scared from a 60-year old man? How's the guy who dethrones Bully supposed to draw when he only beat a guy who was scared of 60-year old man?

    ReplyDelete
  105. I was at the taping tonight--I'm a lapsed fan/childhood Hogan mark who couldn't resist the opportunity to see the geezer live once I found out TNA was coming to the sleepy hamlet of Indiana, PA (plus, my ticket was only $12). I don't know what the etiquette for posting taping spoilers is around these parts, but let me just say that if you are expecting significant retaliation from Aces and Eights next week, it ain't gonna happen as only one Aces member worked a match and he jobbed. There weren't any run-ins or beat downs, either. That said, the taping of next week's show didn't include any of the backstage segments, which gave the whole thing a sort of disjointed feel. Maybe they will tape some vignettes that make the Aces come off stronger....for what it's worth, the crowd still popped for Hogan's slow motion shirt-tearing/punches.

    ReplyDelete
  106. It should have been Velvet or Angelina Love.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Yeah but don't forget 3 months before Brock destroyed Hogan, Hulk was world champion.

    ReplyDelete
  108. No that's just Ambrose

    ReplyDelete
  109. Yeah but DAT ASS

    ReplyDelete
  110. You know what I'll give her? COCK!

    ReplyDelete
  111. Pics of screwing farm animals WHILE preforming satanic rituals with minors?

    ReplyDelete
  112. Ryback = Lex Luger

    ReplyDelete
  113. I'd like it better than what you ARE going to get...

    ReplyDelete
  114. Velvet would be perfect in that role... trashy look and has the title makes sense.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Why downvote me?

    ReplyDelete
  116. They are trying to destroy your push because you got over without first getting approval.


    Wait this is a TNA thread... they are fucking up your push because... well they fuck up everything.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Sorry, I don't look at Drew like that. His ex-wife's ass is nice though.
