Is there any word of a new TNA wrestling game? I been going around to Gamestop trying to find the first one. With the current roster, a new TNA Impact would be pretty dope. It could have a really dope story mode.

In other Guerrero news the WWE has signed Eddie and Vickie's daughter Shaul Marie to a developmental contract.
i bet if she does get into WWE they might do a storyline where her and vickie end up fighting over dolph ziggler
Bruno could do that in that era but he couldn't have done it in the 80s (if he was in his prime) when the WWF and Crockett were expanding. He was a draw in NY because Vince McMahon got to play up the ethnic diversity of the Northeast. But he could be compared to Bob Backlund and Rick Martel as babyface champions who don't look like world champions compared to Ric Flair. Bruno stands up well compared to Dory Funk Jr. and Harley Race of the 60s and 70s but he wouldn't hold up to the top guys of the 80s.
All Time goes to flair but watch vince put cena at 1 or 3 and have rock at 10I hate when they release these 50 greatest whatever dvds or magazines, because they always let petty bullshit ruin it.
We know this is going to be some bullshit but it's interesting.
Completely agree. LOD had the look, but they weren't very good workers in their prime, just stiff.
BTW, that Roadwarriors DVD that the WWE put out was brutal to watch during the match portion. Their matches, in general, haven't aged well at all. The Demos on the other hand
It was fun to see them work the Freebirds and other great teams of the 80s but they aren't as good as you might think. Part of that is because they usually wrestled the top teams and neither of them could afford to do the clean job ('Birds, the Russians) and because they were still very new and green. They don't really start getting better until they start wrestling the Horsemen and the Midnight Express in Crockett all the time.
Demolition had Bill Eadie (the Masked Superstar) and that guy was always great and they worked with an assortment of great teams who were used to build them up and put them over.

I hope she can work but I'm not setting my expectations high. Why don't more parents in the business do with their kids like Rick Steamboat did with his: send them to different trainers and let them work some indies and Japan, where they learn how to work differnt styles, before they ever set foot in WWE developmental, where they learn the "WWE style". That way if it doesn't work out, someone else will probably be willing to give you a job.
Damned Captain Mogan had me staring at Vicki Guererro on Smackdown with that Leopard boody suit tonight.

had they showed him the audience wouldve went crazy loland freddie prinze jr back writing for WWE again
to bad we didnt get a full body shot. but back to what i was saying this is why politicans can't take Linda McMahon serious for shit like Vince pulled tonite. Say she does win will they start putting political storylines in WWE ? I can just see Randy Orton and Santino doing a stem cell research storyline.

Eh the skit wasn't too bad but it would've been better if vince didn't hog all the air time. Lita still looks good and she got a bigger reaction than any current diva (not a good look)
I was hoping the skit was going to lead to them trashing the RAW GM angle. I also wanted to see how Steph's titties were looking after having that baby.
yea i read Lita has talked about being interested in returning

Prinze is said to be popular with the wrestlers because he actually listens to them about their gimmicks and storylines. He has no history in pro wrestling but at least he respects the guys taking the bumps.
They've been trying to get her back for the last couple years but it's her that's been turning them down.
Anyone ever check out the EVOLVE promotion? I just got all four of their releases (it's a very new promotion) and will check them out soon.
I'm reading they use a point system (I doubt it's used the same as Chikara), but the roster is chock full of Chikara and wrestlers from other indies promotions (including Ring of Honor).
If anyone has watched any of their four releases so far, I'd like to get your opinions. At this point, I'm willing to give any promotion a chance if Chikara talent is at least sprinkled in.

I don't think prinze is back writing, i think he was just doing a guest spot but he's been a hardcore fan since childhood. Prinze Seth Green and Shaq have been the best GH since they actually love the business.
Quick update. I'm about halfway through the first show of EVOLVE. Very reminiscent of early Ring of Honor shows (which isn't too surprising considering some of its roster). One thing that makes it stand out is that this promotion really emphasizes records.
Very solid first show, I'm hearing that each show gets a bit better (they're only 4 shows in for this very new promotion, and the newest show has Danielson's last indy match).
Considering I'm catching this at it's beginning, I think I'll add this to my regular wrestling rotation to see how this promotion grows. Very impressed so far.

He is back to writing. Read on a website that he decided to come back and help out to give fresh ideas. Pretty sure it was Hunter's idea due to his promotion.
What did Freddie book in the past? Because I don't know if him coming back is a good or bad thing.
Not sure what the main things were but his first time around he worked in the Smackdown Brand. Now they are saying his second time around he will be working as a producer and director.
Good to know. I follow them loosely but I haven't heard anything bad about them. With the roster and Gabe Sapolsky as owner, I'm sure it's pretty good.
Hopefully after this election they will go back to TV 14 or whatever they were.
Okay I had a few
The NWA title match between Blue Demon Jr. (c), Adam Pearce, and Phil Shatter in Charlotte on March 14th. We had front row seats to that and all three guys worked real tight so there wasn't one of those moments where the dropkick misses by a foot and the guy still takes the bump. Only one really big highspot and they landed right at my wife's feet and kicked the guy sitting on the other side of her. That's the match where Pearce won the belt back. Just an incredible match.
Another NWA title match with Pearce and Bryan Danielson. This was after it was announced he would be going back to WWE. Another great match. Didn't have front row seats but we were sitting behind Shatter's mom and dad. Nice folks. The highlight was the guest ring announcer (he won a contest) introducing "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson as the "Ultimate Dragon" Bryan Pearce. Everybody broke character and Danielson started shaking the ropes like the Ultimate Warrior.
But probably the best match was the Briscoes vs. the Kings of Wrestling on ROH's Big Bang internet ppv. Worth tracking down to watch. They went so hard Jay Briscoe threw up at ringside after the match.

Nope. TV PG is easier to get advertisers than TV14. It's not the rating, it's the booking. Randy Savage attacked Rick Steamboat when they were PG in the 80s. Jake Roberts sicced a snake on Savage under PG in the 90s. Wrestling has always been around the PG style before but it was just better booked. They never had profanity or half naked women and little blood during some of the biggest eras of wrestling.
Yeah I know all that. I watched it all. But the writers don't know how to do PG good. I have stopped watching Raw bc it's so bad.
Back in the 80s and 90s, PG was the default rating for pro wrestling. A lot of shit happened that wasn't really PG on those shows back then because there wasn't a shitload of politically-driven limitations.
The issue today is not the PG rating...it's the fact that the PG rating is a mask to make people outside the industry happy. I'll take 80s PG over today's PG. It's not the same thing. Vince had no problem with blood in the 80s for instance.

I gotcha but these guys won't know how to do TV14 either. They just suck.
Agreed. The rating isn't the problem. Some of the best wrestling companies I the world are PG. The problem is the bookng and writIng. It should be common sense, but it shouldn't be surprising that the writing for WWE is at an all-time low when they TV writers instead wrestling writers doing the storylines.
Some argue that the WWE is just catering to kid wrestling fans, but I don't think that's entirely true. They're catering to casual kid viewers, but but necessarily kid wrestling fans. There is a big difference. If the WWE catered to kid wrestling fans, I assure you everyone in this thread would notice a dramatic surge in the quality of the product.

Again he respects the wrestlers and he seems to be one of the few writers who is actually a fan of wrestling which should be vital but which the WWE largely ignores.HHH talking off camera

Co-sign.I wonder if Homicide and Austin Aries will make appearances with Evolve like they did with Dragon Gate USA recently.
That's true. Well I always have my wrestling dvds.
