Hot Threads: Hardy's Golden Age of Grotesque, The Lotion on a Pole Match, Iron Sheik Loves The Way You Lie, and More
By Mike Johns Dec 8, 2010 - 12:16 PM
Did you know that World Wrestling Insanity has a Message Board?Yep. We've done got us one of them there fancy Message Boards, where you, the random, unnamed wrestling fan can go and vent your frustrations. From WWE’s Family Friendly Direction, to ROH's Production issues, to whatever stupid stunt TNA is running with this week, the Insanity Message Boards is your place to speak your mind. You can also interact with fellow Insanity Readers, as well as the Insanity Staff. We even have an E-Fed, if you’re into that whole "Role-Playing" thing, so feel free to stop on by and join in the fun!
In the meantime though, here's a taste of what you're missing –
While most of you were watching the final chapter of Family Guy's "The Trap" this past Sunday, I, and perhaps 6 other people, were stuck watching TNA's Final Resolution PPV.
If you haven't read the review yet, feel free to check out This Week in TNA's Special Coverage of the show once you're done here.
In the meantime, here's what those other 6 people thought of Final Resolution –
Anthony.Analog So now Jeff Hardy's calling sloppy/dangerous chair shots to the back of the head a "new finisher"? Wow.
Mike Johns Hurting people is his new gimmick. While pretending to be Marilyn Manson.
Anthony.Analog So he's Buffalo Bill then? Got it. Lmao...
Mike Johns He's not trying to be a chick. Yet. He's Golden Age of Grotesque Manson, not Mechanical Animals Manson.
Anthony.Analog Aah... I see. I doubt that stops Russo from booking a "It's Puts The Lotion On The Belt" (on a pole) match for the Diva's Championship next month.
Exx I look forward to the day that Tommy Dreamer gets laryngitis
RowdyRodimus I can't help but think Gen Me looks like a couple of guys they would get to play the Hardy Boyz in that Jesse Ventura movie from NBC back in the day.
If Generation Me wins the belts will TNA make them come out with the Jakks toy belts since they don't want to spend too much money on them?
Anthony.Analog Casket matches that don't involve Taker just don't really make sense to me.
The Green Teabagger You're missing the point.
WWE does them, so TNA must do them as well.
Anthony.Analog WWE also sells out arenas and does hundreds of thousands of PPV buys each month and TNA doesn't do those things?
The Green Teabagger Keep in mind that I said TNA has to do them. I never said they do them well
RowdyRodimus Why tell us Morgan is the #1 contender in the ring intros when he is getting the shot? Isn't that redundant? Nevermind, I forgot- TNA.
Anthony.Analog The Godlike strength supplied by Eric Bischoff's white hair just flung Anderson 13 ft through the air into the ring post!
TheGreatWhiteDope so I'm watching the TNA PPV and here are my thoughts
Ink Inc vs Beer Money - Skipped it. I don't care about ink inc.
Tara/Mickie - enjoyable
Lethal/Jersey Dude - eh, was ok. Funny that Shark Boy is one of the most over things they have in TNA when A) he hasn't been around in like a year and B) its just because it is the closest thing to Austin around.
Rhyno/RVD - I'm hearing the sounds, but also playing Bejeweled 3. That was released today. Also 3 matches with gimmicks or stips in a row is slightly bad pacing, but that could just be me. Also, man..just...match feels old. If that makes any sense.
Kaz needs to promo better
Williams/Styles - so williams isnt in the group anymore? ok? wait....its the tv title. they don't defend this belt on television at all. So it is on the line at a ppv? Ok? Good match.
more when i decide to finish sometime later.
Meanwhile, on Monday Night RAW, we're treated to the continuing saga of whether or not John Cena is actually "fired", considering the ease in which he's allowed to continually show up on WWE TV with virtually no consequences whatsoever.
Of course, that's not what you, the reader, click on this link to read.
No, you click this link to see how we react to the stupid things Michael Cole says.
So, did Michael Cole have anything stupid to say this week?
Aaron Wood R...K...Cole..
JohnnyCraze what the hell?? Did Cole just run into an RKO??
TheGreatWhiteDope that is a highlight reel moment for years to come at this point
So, no.
Michael Cole didn't say anything stupid this week.
He didn't even get a chance to.
He got RKOed in the first segment.
Sorry, folks.
Blame Randy Orton.
Him and his damn RKO, ruining this column for everyone…
Now back to the RAW thread, already in progress –
JohnnyCraze Oh look, it's the fired Cena
The Green Teabagger SANTINO AND KOZLOV ARE THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Mike's Note: You know, you really have to suck ass to lose your title push to Santino Marella and freaking Vladimir Kozlov.
Why is Heath Slater still on the Main Roster?
You guys were smart enough to dump Michael Tarver back down to developmental!
Why not Slater?]
JohnnyCraze Wow.....Cena did it again. Wait, isn't he fired??
The Green Teabagger ALL HAIL KING SHEAMUS!!!
I said All Hail King Sheamus.
I don't see you hailing
Eaglesfn345 I acknowledge only one King of the Ring, and his name is William Regal
And Booker T, to a lesser extent, only because he had the lovely choco-lisious Queen Sharmell at his side
The Green Teabagger Someone tell Michelle McCool to STFU. Let Layla talk the whole time.
[Mike's Note: Hear, hear!]
wolfchild Did Punk just call Laycool "Beautiful People"?
Aaron Wood He is one for an inside joke...
JohnnyCraze Great, Cena gets hired back next week. How long was that? 3 weeks?
The Green Teabagger Did you really expect it to last that long?
Aaron Wood How long was it really? 0 weeks. Not even 24 hours. Never missed a show and he was the focal point for each of them.
Anthony.Analog I absolutely LOATHE the direction they've taken Cena/Nexus. Nexus was such a HOT angle... to see it barely limping across the finish line like this sucks. And yet it's still 1000x better than TNA is treating Joe right now, soooo...
But yeah, so many plot holes tonight (after they did so well last week filling in potential logic gaps), like the announcers selling shock that Cena was under the ring? THEY HAD TO HAVE SEEN HIM CRAWL UNDER DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK!? And them cuing up John's music after Barrett ran off? Not good stuff. Although Punk's "John, my diet soda" and John subsequently gingerly handing him the can after he cleared off the announce table was gold!
The Chosen 1 To be fair, I've been in the arena for "people under the ring" stuff.. Boogeyman, Hornswoggle, even 'Taker (I think) they usually do a good job of getting the guys under there without anyone noticing, so they really didn't have to sell any shock since they didn't HAVE to have seen him... Cena is "IN" with WWE Security so there is NO reason they wouldn't put a sheet over him and run him out to the ring before the match... PLUS as we all know, LITTLE PEOPLE'S COURT takes place under the ring and there are plenty of spacious hallways and rooms that Cena could have hidden in and waited patiently until the Tag match.......kill me.
Anthony.Analog I'd forgotten about Little People's Court.
I retract my previous argument.
This week's Final Word goes to our resident ROHbot, James Bullock, who came across this gem recently, and decided to share it with us, his friends at the Insanity –
This is just a taste of what you're missing on the Boards. Why don't you come by sometime and check it out for yourself, eh? You never know when something you post may end up being the next Hot Thread.
