Pro wrestling thread, TNA, WWE etc

Hulk Hogan has come back to TNA. Expect big changes in that company. maybe a wrestling show worth wild will be made that we all can watch. :rock:

[Platapus]

What is TNA?

[Oberon]

A quick google gives me Total Nonstop Action wrestling.
The last time I poked my head into Wrestling it was back in the days of WWF and the Hulk, so it's good to see him about. :up:

[AVGWarhawk]

I can think of another TNA but it may not have to do with wrestling. Then again, it might. :hmmm:

Expect big changes in that company. maybe a wrestling show worth wild will be made that we all can watch.I for the past several years, I've enjoyed TNA a LOT more than WWE. They have Vince Russo doing their writing for them and he's THE BEST writer for wrestling that's out there right now in my opinion.
WWE's writing went WAY downhill when Russo left. I've tried giving WWE a chance many times since then, but they've been consistantly falling flat for me.

I prefer a little bit of comic book kind of style to my wrestling and Russo captures that really well. Wrestling SHOULD have some comic book style to it. WWE lacks comic book style right now for the most part, and their shows seem to have changed to "Parade of D-Bags" now. Almost everything is "ghetto", "New metal", and "rap" with them now. TNA on the other hand is more like the WWE Attitude era which I really liked (aside from their treatment of the female wrestlers at the time. I think TNA shows the woman wrestlers in a little better light AND they actually hire female wrestlers where WWE back then were just hireing models who had no clue how to take a bump).

Personally, I don't think adding Hulk Hogan to TNA is going to change much (Maybe aside from bringing the 80's fans to them). By and large, most wrestling fans have turned away from Hogan. He actually has no wrestling talent. He can't do any moves other than a forearm smash and the legdrop. I can see maybe adding him as a commentator or maybe as an "athority figure" maybe.

Also, if you're a wrestling fan, give Extreme Warfare Revenge and Total Extreme Wrestling 2005 a try. They're both freeware and are VERY addictive and awesome games.
Both games are here:

Modern day stat updates are in the forum under TEWR.

More stat updates, wrestler pics, fantasy scenarios are here:

If you try it and get lost, pm me and I'll talk you through stuff. These are two of my favorite games.

Perhaps he was 'under her thumb' but now has the freedom to return to his profession :DL

[Trool323]

Do you like pro wrestling and is it TNA or the WWE? Who R your fav super stars? Give me your thoughts and opinions..:ping:

trool.....

[TheBrauerHour]

I thought that guy died...

[Jimbuna]

Another actor in need of a cash injection.

[Blacklight]

I thought that guy died...

That was his brother who died.

This surprises me considering the bad blood between Vince McMahon and Brett Hart (See: Montreal Screw Job: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Screwjob )

I thought Brett HATED Vince !

[Jimbuna]

So is this simply another actor looking for a cash injection into his bank balance? :hmmm:

[Blacklight]

Who know's what's going through Brett Hart's mind, but I can tell you this. He comes from a family where several generations were wrestlers. He's reccognized as one of the top performers in the business, both in the ring and backstage behind the desk. He's also a world reknowned wrestling trainer like his father. He's intelligent and fairly wealthy and stable so I don't think he NEEDS the money. WWE had to offer him one HELL of a contract to get him back and I wouldn't expect him to do much wrestling. Vince's idea in my opinion is to bring him back to compete with the "Hulk Hogan to TNA" thing.

[Snestorm]

Another actor in need of a cash injection.

Ja, but they aren't even good actors.

[Blacklight]

I used to be a 100% WWF fan from the 80's all the way to the 2000's. However, when ECW and then WCW folded and their talent dumped into WWF, the writing went WAY downhill. WWF ended up with way too many workers and the storylines suffered a lot by trying to work them all in. I lost interest shortly after that time. Also, around that time, they got rid of their talented head writer, Vince Russo, who in my opinion was and still IS the best writer in the business. The combination of trying to fit ALL those workers into the shows along with Vince Russo's departure caused the writing to drop to awful and severely BORING levels.

It wasn't until years later that I discovered TNA. It was kind of fresh, had the comic book writing style I really enjoyed (that the WWE had been pretty much doing away with since Russo left), and they had acquired some really good ring talent. It felt like I was watching 90's era WWF: Attitude era all over again. THEN I found out a major contributing factor for that. TNA's head writer is none other than Vince Russo.

While WWE curently has quite a bit of good talent and has improved a bit over the past couple years, it still hasn't reached the level of writing that TNA has. TNA has far more varieties of characters where WWE has pretty much "I'm Just a tough guy douch bag" for almost every character (with a few small exceptions). If you like the comic book style of wrestling with more variety of characters, like I do, TNA is the best choice between the two.

[Jimbuna]

Ja, but they aren't even good actors.

Agreed....but as Blacklight states,
WWE had to offer him one HELL of a contract



So for me....that means money, and lots of it :hmmm:

[Trool323]

Its tonight blacklight I cant wait. Both shows should be awesome..:rock:
