TNA Major Breaking News (possible Spoiler)

[RoyTheHammer]

Some wrestlers are very good at talking/mic work. Rock is the best...Sting is great...Foley..Flair...HHH...Austin got better over the years. AJ. reminds me alot of Kerry Von Erich on the mic. Southern twang that doesn't translate well mic skills wise. Best left to just wrestle.

All those guys you mentioned i agree with.. except Sting. I wish they would go back to his black and white gimmick. He's no bueno on the mic. I roll my eyes everytime he picks it up.

oh well..I've always thought he did fine on the mic. I've heard him speak @ a church & he's a really well spoken guy. Of course that was as Steve Borden & not Sting...but anyway to me his mic work is fine. To each his own!

Yeaaa.. mic work in wrestling isn't about being well spoken. Not to me anyway. Like you said though, to each their own.

he's got a compelling testimony & he realizes he could very easily have died like so many of his peers...he's always been one of my favorites. He said he can't bear to think of all the guys he has worked with that are dead. He mentioned Rude as one of his favorite guys he wrestled...

TMZ reports that Chyna is getting back into the porn business and will be starring in an "extremely graphic" adult film.

Vivid President Steve Hirsch told TMZ that Chyna approached him months ago and wanted to get her adult film career going again. Vivid has booked her with two of the industry's biggest stars, Evan and Lee Stone, for a new movie called "Backdoor Into Chyna" that has already been filmed.

But TNA got two weeks of extra pub

And I totally disagree. He's still boring as hell on the mic, he rarely, if ever, makes me want to believe or get behind him when they allow him to talk.

I'd personally like him much more if they just never allowed him to speak. He just bores me to death. It's a difference in opinion here. I don't care how many times you say it, or quote your internet forum buddies, I'm not going to agree that he's improved a great deal on the mic or that he's any good at it.

I've said, more than once, that he's improved some from where he's at, to where he's at least bearable now, but that's it. He's still, when I watch him, boring as hell on the mic.

And that passion statement...dumb. Just flat out dumb. Sorry but there is no way that you, or I, or anyone watching from the outside can make a statement like that and have any sort of truth to it at all.

Watch the guy, he cares about what he's doing... Watch RVD, he's going through the motions.. Watch Miz, he's into what he's saying, what Del Rio, sounds like hes reading a script..

You can tell who cares and who doesn't by how they deliver their promos.



AJ Styles holding his own with one of the best in the promo business, oh and getting crazy reactions from the audience...

There is a reason he was rated #1 wrestler last year by PWIllustrated, and its simply because he is #1.

and TNA is probably happy about this as it helps further them from the "entertainers"... Don't see whats funny

Predictable ......

WWE Diva's

Michelle McCool leaves to allow her ankle and knee to heal and spend time with her Husband the Undertaker.

Layla leaves because of a knee injury.

Kharma (awesome kong) leaves because she is Pregnant.

TNA Knockout's

Chyna leaves to do a hardcore 3 way anal porno.


The difference in the Companies are very apparent.

In all fairness Chyna did a porno when she was in the WWE. It's just wasn't an real one. :laugh2:

Nope ..... that was years later.

X-pac was in TNA when they filmed that porno ..... she was unemployed.

It's just more short sighted booking and promoting of the company. More throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Let's say that Laurer did get over and the fans were invested in the storyline...now she leaves just weeks after, just further ingraining the message to the fans that there's no reason to get invested into the characters because chances are they won't be around long.

Sometimes that can't be helped, particularly in pro wrestling...but it's commonplace in TNA. And the reality is that 'there is no such thing as bad publicity' is a bad idea to try and build a business by.

Getting the crowd to 'pop' is just that...getting a bunch of marks to pop. It takes a lot more to actually draw money over the long haul and TNA doesn't get that.

My bad :

 

[RoyTheHammer]

But TNA got two weeks of extra pub

TNA did get two weeks of major publicity with her appearance and got some huge pops from the crowds during her two appearances while paying her next to nothing.

As opposed to the WWE who signed a certain fat chick to a guarenteed contract only to be pushing her to lose weight right away that she didn't want to drop, and then having her off TV for a year because she gets herself pregnant.

Seems like one business move was superior alright.. although most on here won't admit it.

A lesson they should have learned with Flair and Hogan.

I have watched all of them. Thanks for the very short sighted advice there though.

I'm not saying AJ doesn't live and breath the business. I'm quite sure does and I'm very happy about that. However for you to make the claim that he's the most passionate in the business, based off your friggen fandom, is stupid. Period.

You have no idea if he is, or isnt, regardless of what he does on the mic. People used to think Hogan was extremely passionate about the business too and it's become very, very, very clear over the years that he's not, and never was, and was always about himself and money.

I don't think AJ is that way, at all, mind you but that's the point. I'm sure he's passionate, just like a ton of other guys, but I wouldn't be so stupid as to try and say he's the most passionate because PWI magazine told me I'm supposed to consider him the #1 wrestler in the world.

And what a joke that you'd even use PWI (which is a magazine I respect btw) as your evidence that I'm just supposed to immediately consider him #1 cause they say so.

I don't give a crap who PWI, you, Hammer, or anyone else says I'm supposed to think is #1. Just like I don't that ESPN tells me I'm supposed to believe that Ware is the 2nd best defender in the league. I am free to watch the stuff myself and decide for myself.

AJ Styles is a great in-ring talent and fun to watch IN the ring. He's not #1 to me now, never has been, and never will be. It's just pretty much that simple and I don't need PWI to tell me how to decide that.
