FUM

I watched House of Hardcore the debut show yesterday and really enjoyed the show. Thought it had a nice flow and a cracking roster with the likes of Dreamer, Knox, Tony Nese, Rhino, Callihan, Big XLG, Scott Steiner, Edge, Big Daddy V, Chris Masters, Crowbar, Winter, Jazz, Shaun Davari etc. Plus some really good matches. Luckily they didn't make it all about the ECW names and the parts they were involved in weren't too bad either. Tony Nese is very good, it's a shame TNA never bothered with the bloke.

 

What happened to the October event they were advertising and promoting at the end of the show?

Do you mind me asking where you got a hold of this mate? Can't seem to find it on the usual sites.

Surely he'll be back as part of A&8 storyline eventually? He has to be one of the big hitters, either behind it with Bischoff or coming back to SAVE TNA~!

I've not watched TNA in ages, is the Aces and Eights storyline still bloody going on!?

That interested me when it started but I was out as soon as Devon was revealed.

 

Matt Hardy calls in to Byte This with Lita on, a couple of days after that first time he ran in Raw and said "Adam" and "ROH" and all that. It's all just worked shooting at this point, but it's a fun listen anyway. Even in these (presumably pre-planned) circumstances, Hardy comes across as a loser.

Lita makes him look like an absolute dick. It's hard to feel any sympathy for Matt Hardy.

Is RAW going to be live or has it already been recorded for New Years Eve?

From what I'm hearing, he's doing alot better, and his New Japan stuff is very good.

 

Like Tensai was good, and like people are probably lying and saying Lance Cade is good over there now as well. Ignore the "He's doing dead good in Japan" because it normally comes from the weirdos who decide that any wrestling in Japan is good because it's in Japan. Basically, take it with a pinch of salt.

Aye, been told he's doing superbly over there.

Here's an interesting feud going on at the moment. Apparently CM Punk made up a story to work the sheets. Meltzer didn't print it, but Punk thought he did and had a go at gullible sheet writers. In response (which he admitted was in jest) Meltzer tweeted this:

Is Raw moving back to 2 hours? Comcast listing for Monday has NCIS at 8 p.m., Raw at 9 p.m. @CMPunk #2.3 quarter hour

 

And today Meltzer posted this on the Observer board.

Man, if anyone wonders about who was gotten to, I heard Punk's reaction at the Comic Con was priceless.

 

At least I thought it was funny from the start and was just making a joke back.

What the fuck happened?

I seen that, and Spider RT'ed Meltzer's comment. I thought it had been forgotten about.

I'm telling you guys, don't ever back us. It's crazy.

Rene Dupree's tattoos are horrendous. Whatever possessed him to think that was a good idea, I do not know.

The NJPW PPV is indeed cracking. Meltzer was saying that NJPW are planning on doing more iPPVs in the future, which Meltzer creamed himself over. He's convinced Tanahashi is the best in the World too; as Ian stated, he 's always looked the business.I still prefer Cena/Lesnar as MOTY though.

How about this one?

Seen some books in the Kindle store. One entitled, "Playing The Game: How Triple H Became The Heir Apparent to the WWE Empire", anyone read this? It's only

Well, I was fucking delighted on Friday anyway. Not had a win in about 8 months and got this up.

Does ECW have a PPV that is widely regarded as their best like WWE has WrestleMania 17, for instance?

I liked Khan back when he was doing his Olympic thing and his first two or three fights, after that he started to think he was better than he actually is and can't just accept when he loses without making some sort of excuse. For me, he started all his arrogance and cockiness before he'd actually done anything of note as a professional, and it drove me to dislike him. He may have but it seems to the "casual fan", who only really know the bigger names, as if he hadn't beaten anyone to back up everything he was saying.

I watch the big fights by the way but am no means a massive "know every fighter" fan of boxing, so feel free to rip my comments to shreds.

He hasn't been in WWE for years. I don't think he's even in the business anymore, save from rare indy shows. He seems more interested in politics now. He said on his shoot interview he earns money from his website and its various spin offs.

 

All his ramblings are on http://paper.li/ValVenisEnt/1305760901

 

He'd probably be a good one to bring in though. Val Venis was a decent size name. I'd be surprised if he wasn't on that Attitude era game as well.

Just looked up what I said about returning as an agent and found this from November 2010:

To follow up on a report from Saturday, former WWE star Sean Morley (Val Venis) is officially back with WWE and is backstage at tonight's Raw taping at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, NY. Morley had been informing indy promoters seeking to book him that he was scheduled to start again with WWE soon for the company's upcoming European tour this week.

Is Val Venis still signed to WWE?

 

He was released nearly 3 and a half years ago!

Is Val Venis still signed to WWE?

 

I imagine he's a stick on to have a match over the next few weeks if he is.

 

I don't think Venis has been signed with WWE for a few years now, unless he was signed again in some capacity after his short TNA run.

As far as I remembered, he was re-hired as an agent.

Anyone?

Bets on France and Germany to end up eventual winners. Van Persie at 10/1 for top scorer.
