    Speaking of PPVs I'm going to see if HiaC is available yet on the Live Event Player for my PS3. It will be my first time testing out that system. It's a full 10 dollars cheaper than xfinity (HD version that is) so I hope it works.

    I tried it with Summer Slam and it was kind of awful, but that was the first time they'd done it I think, maybe it's better now.

    Awful how?

    it kept stopping and going back in time to stuff I'd already seen, sometimes getting stuck in a loop.

    Were you able to replay it later or get your money back?

    Able to replay it later. Didn't bother trying to get money back for it or anything.

    I didn't think this Attitude Era RAW could get any more important when Shawn Michaels got announced as the new commissioner

    then Jerry Lawler casually dropped the sentence "that mark henry, he's just like...

    sexual chocolate"

    i legit gasped and sat straight up in my chair (where I had been diligently putting the final touches on my Halloween costume's homemade World Intergender Wrestling Championship belt)

    I can not explain how happy it makes me that Trent? and Chuck Taylor have formed a tag team.

    And that it's called "Best Friends".

    So the Neon Alley Chikara thing worked out fine today. Three Fisted Tales was a good choice for a debut episode and I had never seen it before except for the BDK debut. I'll stick with the channel for now although I'm annoyed I have to start following more anime again to justify the 7 bucks a month.

    Too bad it isn't on CrunchyRoll--I already have a CR account, and I don't want to be the guy with two anime streaming service subscriptions.

    I hope they at least archive the Chikara shows, they do for all their other programming.

    Anyone here watch all or most of the 2010 season 9 Chikara shows? Did the BDK angle live up to the debut? I heard it became pretty pointless in 2011.

    BDK was good throughout most of 2010, but then you reached 2011 and started thinking to yourself "Wait, these guys are still around? Are they even planning on ending this?"

    And then you look up and the BDK KoT team is Donst, Hammermeier, and Delirious and you're just wondering what is going on.

    Dude I thought about not even changing the title of the thread from a throwaway Earthbound reference that I had as a placeholder but I was listening to Scott Hall on this week's AOW podcast and hearing about how dire things were in WCW when he first showed up and thought "Maybe this is a chance for TNA to turn things around"...

    And from what I've read about the show: hahaha. Nope. Should've kept the old title.

    Out of curiosity what is the most TNA has ever drawn for an event in the States? I'm pretty sure ROH's biggest crowd ever was 2500 and I know TNA surpassed that at least a few times. BfG last year drew 2900.

    Holy crap, via PWInsider:
    As it turns out, my issues with ordering Bound for Glory was not isolated. We've received 15 emails from Time-Warner subscribers in the Northeast that they are unable to order the PPV. So, TNA lost out on some business.

    It's like there are outside forces that want this company to fail. Sad thing is the company is doing that fine by itself.

    Edit to fix my grammar.

    You know what, fuck it, there's two Shimmer shows that taped today too, I'm going to get into Shimmer to spite TNA. I hear they have a title that's like some kind of One Ring Soul Calibur hybrid that turns people heel.

    Considering the fact that they are on a nationally televised channel and that's the audience they get for their biggest show of the year which has like on match that makes any sense is pretty dumb.

    Also Aces & 8s ran for like two years and it just sort of fell apart on its own on TV without any kind of big payoff, it's pretty stupid, actually A&8s might still be limping along, but it's pretty much dead.

    They've been building up an EGO vs. Magnus angle for the past month or so and none of those guys are involved in a match together because why would they be.

    Oh God! The Bro Mans are the tag team champions? You have got to be shitting me TNA. At least they have Gail Kim as the Knockouts Champion. Sabin regaining the X-Division belt could be okay, but he is not a good heel, and is going way too hard on the gimmick.

    And AJ did win the belt from Bully Ray with a Spiral Tap. I didn't think he did that move anymore, so that's awesome.

    The A&8's thing is the worst part. They were a heel group for that long and the babyfaces never got an opportunity to soundly defeat them and break them up.

    See also: the original MEM, Planet Jarrett, Sports Entertainment eXtreme, every single big heel faction in TNA history.

    It's like they have a chronic inability to pay off big storylines.

    The SHIMMER title is actually a fragment of Portia Perez's essence, that's why anybody who holds it becomes a dick to everybody else. It's also why they work so hard to keep Perez from getting the belt, if she's finally made whole then she'll reach her ultimate form and destroy the Eastern seaboard in a cacophony of Stevie Nicks and superkicks.

    Everyone is different. Everyone is special.

    I'm pretty ticked about that season pass.

    It's a good chance to make the roster more up to date and they have squandered that chance. All we get is Big E, Fandango/Summer, and the Bellas. No Wyatt Fanily. no Curtis Axel. No RVD. No Goldust. No Usos.

    This will be the first year I don't get the pass. I'll just buy the one pack that actually has modern guys. I'm sick of these games prioritizing nostalgia over getting the current roster right.
