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 –
Because you just loved the first three seasons, WWE is now presenting, you guessed it, NXT Season FOUR!
Yes, NXT, the show where a group of developmental talents are put out in front of a live WWE audience and routinely forced into laughable "exercises" and "challenges" meant to gauge one's worthiness to be a part of the Major Leagues of Wrestling.
Fortunately, this season, the competitors actually learned to take bumps BEFORE being signed to a Developmental Deal with the Biggest Pro Wrestling Company in the World, and, amazingly enough, may almost be expected to wrestle at something resembling a competent level.
So, let's see what the people who actually watched this show ad to say about the first week of NXT, Season 4 –
Aaron Wood
Haven't seen the spoilers yet, but Joey Styles has tweeted that the main event of this first episode will be Alberto Del Rio & Conor O'Brian vs. Daniel Bryan & Derrick Bateman.
shooting
Bateman vs Alberto Del Rio & Conor O'Brian would be a great match. I see Alberto walking to the back so Bateman and O'Brian can go one on one
The Green Teabagger
I'm more interested in finding out whether or not ADR allows Conor O'Brien to ride in his car with him or if he makes him walk.
exx
I can't believe they named a guy after Conan O'Brien.
Is being the hottest thing since grits a good thing?
The Green Teabagger
Could be worse. He could be the hottest thing since Neapolitan Ice Cream
RDLee
I was hoping they would have stopped this stupid "standing on the apron" bullsh*t with the pros.
TheGreatWhiteDope
this Capture the flag would be much more badass if it was first one to get the flag and then cross the line. throw some fighting into it.
RDLee
If he (Brodius Clay) were smart he wouldn't even do it. He should be the bad ass heel and say to hell with it.
TheGreatWhiteDope
"You're getting some advice from your pro"
"Yeah I know, I don't have to listen he is just saying 'Do HGH' that is like all he says."
RDLee
Brodus Clay should have done what Byron Saxton did. Took his time like a bad ass because he CAN.
The Green Teabagger
Is it weird that every time I hear Ride of the Valkyries I expect Daniel Bryan to come out riding a horse?
[Mike's Note:
No, what's weird is that you're not expecting Sara Del Rey to come out, instead!]
TheGreatWhiteDope
NXT unwritten rule:
If you're the "internet guy" or with the "internet guy" you'll lose a lot. But you'll get over easier. Because their fans are the only ones who watch this sh*t.
shooting
Novak could be Sting 2.0 if he plays his cards right. He has the look and all he needs to do is put on some face paint on. He just looks like OVW's Fang older brother which I norticed on this episode of NXT.
Derrick vs ADR and Conan didn't really showcase what Derrick can do. Plus it looks like Curtis lost his jacket also I'm shocked he kept his name (since they made Johnny Prime change his name).
All of these rookies are talented so hopefully this will be the best season of NXT
We were once again treated to a three-hour RAW this week, as the USA Network likes to have a lot of these going into the Holiday Season (for some reason), and because RAW is three hours, obviously, the show needs to have a gimmick.
This week, it was the "annual" Slammy Awards, as voted on by YOU, the WWE Universe.
Except for the ones that WWE just decided on themselves.
And that Diva of the Year one which they decided in a Battle Royale, as not to repeat the mistake of last year by letting the fans vote and give the award to a Diva they haven't pushed on TV in any significant way in over a year (thus, how Maria won last year).
So, what stupid thing did Michael Cole say?
What awesome thing did CM Punk do to make you glad you watched this show in the first place?
And, of course, how many times does the Insanity Universe mention me once LayCool comes on the air?
Let's find out –
JohnnyCraze
David Arquette??!!
Aaron Wood
I'm thinking the Bellas have yet to realise that Daniel Bryan isn't a Guest Star.
[Mike's Note:
Shhh!
Don't ruin it for him!
After all, they're TWINS!
Hello!]
JohnnyCraze
I've said this before but I'll say it again....Daniel Bryan is my hero
The Chosen 1
My girl is watching with me tonight and I have completely managed to turn her into the kind of fan I was 10 years ago... She loves Edge (which is cool because she liked him BEFORE he turned face) so she is excited that he might be on the show tonight after being on Smackdown for months...
But if Edge shows up tonight they're gonna have to show the Paul bearer angle... and if they do that I don't ever think she'll watch ever, ever EVER again... so therein lays my dilemma
JT
So they are actually treating this like a real award show.
RowdyRodimus
And the Slammy for Non-Shocking Moment goes to: John Cena rehired after being fired for three weeks and never being off the show.
The Green Teabagger
I just started watching a few minutes ago. Was flipping back and forth between this and ROH (yes, I saw Punk's win)
I saw David mother*cking Arquette of all mother*cking people. F*ck him. The f*cking horse he rode in on. F*ck Arquette with a boiling hot pipe. F*ck him.
Then the Miz girl, and if that seriously was the actual one that Miz owned. Awesomeness.
Then we get Miz-Misterio.
So wait a minute.....are we realistically about to get Miz-Morrison for the WWE Title?
JT
Miz vs Morrison for the WWE title, PLEASE!!!!!!!!
wolfchild
If this was by votes, Beth Phoenix would win Diva of the year... Hell, even by wrestling she should win it!!
Which means she won't...
shooting
I'm betting McCool winning the battle royal. Layla is holding that one.
Plus they got their own intro
The Green Teabagger
LayCool got an entrance.
No one else did.
Do the math.
With the way they booked her in the Women's Division up until a few weeks ago, I'm surprised they didn't try to put Michelle McCool in the Superstar of the Year ballot just for shits and giggles.
wolfchild
Um... I just thought of something... How can the Raw GM put three smackdown diva's in a ppv match?
The Green Teabagger
Because Teddy Long is a little bitch who does what he's told.
Plus Raw GM > Smackdown GM
The Raw GM could be a computer, the Soaring Eagle, or a ham sandwich and it would have more authority than the Smackdown GM.
Hell, David Hasselhoff made a Smackdown World Title for a title match months ago when he was guest hosting Raw. I think it was Swagger-Orton
JohnnyCraze
I can't believe Arquette is going to wrestl........be in a match
The Green Teabagger
We probably shouldn't be.
They had Napoleon friggin Dynamite in a match.
Cedric The Entertainer...sorta.
MacGruber (I honestly don't remember that guy's real name).
Maria Menounos.
Who else???
shooting
The Miz needs a even worse world champion then David Arquette. Vince Russo needs to be apart of Miz's group
[Mike's Note:
Yeah, but TNA would have to fire Russo, first, and the chances of that happening in my lifetime are about as good as us finding video footage of you and Aaron Wood making out on Dixie Carter's Back Porch.
Of course, if TNA WERE to fire Russo, I imagine MY life would be a lot easier…]
RowdyRodimus
So did Cena get "fired" because he was cycling? You know, he was "gone" the amount of time it takes for "stuff" to get out of your system.
Also, when did Otunga become a challenge for anyone, let alone Superman?
The Chosen 1
How many times can one guy get beaten up by 5-8 people before that person...ya know... dies?
Or atleast takes a week off... or looks bruised?
RowdyRodimus
Want to solve global warming? Make a match between Otunga and Xpac, there'd be no heat anywhere.
Bundorama
At least this awful storyline with Cena being "fired" is over. And what did it accomplish in the end? Nexus beating him down just like they were 6 months ago. Well, I hope it was worth making yet another stipulation meaningless just so we can get more of the same. Another drab, boring 3 hour show.
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.
