Ready to Ramble

I don't get on here as much anymore and I'm honestly not sure why.

A lot has happened in Pro Wrestling and I'm just going to throw some opinions around about a few stories.

Bobby Roode comes up short against Angle

Well let me be honest. I streamed this event for free...and that is actually a huge sign of me finally caring about what TNA has been doing, cause up until now, I couldn't even be bothered to do that. The build for Bobby Roode has been amazing, they were really on the right path with establishing a home grown talent. But politics again took charge and prevented a major moment from happening for a company who desperately needs one.

But it's supposed to be okay because even though Roode came up short in a fine match against an injured Kurt Angle, apparently James Storm beats Angle within minutes on Impact to become the new champion....there's the big picture, brother!

Hogan and Bischoff have this goal to swerve the IWC, and that's pretty damn sad considering Bischoff went on calling the IWC the 10 percenters that don't matter.

I'm happy for Storm don't get me wrong, I think he's awesome, but this build for Roode was too good and the flushed it down the shitter...again.


JR gets fired, again

Johnny Ace is a great character to hate. Or is that go away heat he has...either way, you just know that he's as much of a weasel behind the scenes as he is on camera, and that makes you just want to see him get his ass kicked at some point.

But the whole firing JR thing just pissed me off to where I wanted to turn the show off. I'm sick of the way that man gets treated. Whether it's on camera following a script (that he never knows about) or behind the curtain.
Vince needs to get his jollies because he wants people to know he calls the shots. The people want JR and Vince wants to stroke his ego.

Sorry Vince, JR is way better than anyone else you can bring in. Especially Michael Cole, who as a heel, dip shit character should not be your play by play commentator.

I really hope Josh Matthews gets a promotion soon. But I hope for his sake, the people don't praise him or he'll end up kissing Vince's ass on television.


The falling stock of Morrison

This poor bastard! He's talented, he's over with the fans. Sure his mic skills need ..well..a lot of work, but give him a manager or something. Oh wait, none of that matters, because he dates a girl who doesn't work there anymore, who has caused problems backstage when she was there. So, the best way to handle her issues is to not only fire her and have the problem be gone, but we'll take this could be future Champion and job him out worse than T.L. Hopper.

There's got to be more to it than that.

There's reports that his contract is almost up and he may go to TNA where he'll become Morris Johnson, or John Hennigan, or who knows what. But it'll continue the pattern of TNA where since he has WWE on his resume, he'll be pushed to the moon over their own talent. I wouldn't mind a push for Morrison there, but not because of where he came from.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see...but I don't know how much more burying I can watch.



ESPN E:60 Scott Hall Special


If you didn't see this, you can by clicking here, but it isn't the easiest thing to watch. I remember being a kid and Razor Ramon was larger than life. He was a mega star in my eyes, and a great IC Champion. He had it all.
Nowadays, he might as well change his name to Randy "the Ram". Except he still has family by his side, including his son Cody whom Hall is helping train to become a pro wrestler.

I just hope Cody sees how things went for his father and learns through him more than just how to fall on the mat.


That's my ramblings for now about what has happened in the world of Pro Wrestling.

#DearVince

Dave Lagana has been doing a great job in getting a social media movement going as far as making Professional Wrestling be a mainstream topic of discussion.

One of my favorite hashtags he started was #DearVince. I don't know how it didn't become a trending topic (or maybe it did) but it brought out some very interesting tweets.

As I've been watching wrestling lately, even me, one of the most naive fans who is willing to put up with a lot, has really been pushed to almost just turn it off. Things have not been making sense even more so than usual.

So I figured here I would just write out a few #DearVince tweet style messages questioning recent story lines.

#DearVince, how the fuck can you get a meeting with board members when in storyline you were fired?

#DearVince why the fuck are you nice to a guy who tried to steal your company's championship and who caused you to lose your job in the first place?

#DearVince, Fuck off with the JR humiliation bullshit already! I hate listening to Michael Cole, and even more so when he's just your puppet.
#DearVince quit hot shotting angles for a tv rating that never improves.

#DearVince remember when you did good ratings? there was long term booking then. is it that hard to realize that you should go back to the methods that worked?

#DearVince when are you officially changing the WWE to WCW and your last name to Bischoff?

#DearVince when people say go back to the way wrestling was in 2000, they meant in WWE not WCW.

#DearVince fuck your ego!

I could go on and on and on, but I'll save that for later

If you have any #DearVince's of your own. throw them around on twitter. And give props to @Lagana since he was the guy who started that, and #IWantWrestling.

Listen to his I Want Wrestling Podcasts too, on iTunes and also his website iwantwrestling.com
