RE: Episode 144
Hey there guys, it's been a while! Been on a hiatus from the WWE because all of the bullshit that's been happening. VINCE MCMAHON WANTS TO DO WHAT!?!? *Head-desks multiple times* I agree with Shades with his comment about getting rid of Vince, GET RID OF VINCE AS WELL AS EVERYBODY ON THE WWE BOARD AND FIRE THEIR FUCKING ASSES!!!!
And speaking of WWE, I don't see a 3 hour Raw lasting very long to be quite honest! USA Network, you guys just had to shoot yourselves in the foot didn't you fuckers?
TNA is suing the guy that leaked the information about what they were going to be doing to the WWE!? TNA, have you seriously lost your fucking mind? Oh wait, don't answer that question because they are going to be pushing the absolute fuck out of Brooke Hogan -_-
As for Matty's poll about the TNA boycott, I definitely have to agree with Shades on this one. Everytime that we start to have hope that TNA is turning around for the better, it's only a very short matter of time before they go back to fucking things up again like they always do! I hate to say it, but with the current rate that TNA is going, the boycott very well may have to end up being indefinite.
Now onto "Winners and Losers"
Winners:
Williams Street and all of the Toonami faithful on the internet for bringing back Toonami for a new generation of anime fans as well as fans of action cartoons in general. (If you aren't watching Toonami every Saturday night to help with funding for better action cartoons and anime, TURN IN YOUR OTAKU CARD NOW!!)
CM Punk (He's my default winner at this point, no need to explain)
Matty J and The Shades for getting me back into wrestling for a while and making me laugh my ass off more than a few times.
Bandai for continuing to make new ranger key sets from Gokaiger even after Gokaiger is over!
Losers:
All of the people bitching and moaning about not having what they want on the new Toonami! SERIOUSLY HERE PEOPLE, there's not much that we can do about this except to keep watching to show them (Williams Street) that we don't want to see Cowboy Bebop anymore since it has been on Adult Swim since the beginning!
Johnny Ace, he's seriously trying way too hard to be this generation's version of Mr. Mcmahon and not doing a very good job of it!
WWE for trying to recreate the Attitude era! Seriously WWE creative, the Attitude era was one of the best times in the history of the WWE. YOU CANNOT PULL OFF ANOTHER ATTITUDE ERA, SO DON'T EVEN TRY IT!!
Micheal "Fucking" Cole and Jerry Lawler! Cole goes without any explanation but Lawler just isn't who he used to be anymore for many reasons I'm not going to go into!
Here's an easy and quick question for you guys. Would you like to see a match with CM Punk and Stone Cold Steve Austin or Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Johnny Ace-hole?
Until next time, see you later, space cowboy!

RE: Episode 144
And I know exactly what you guys were talking about with TJ. And yeah, he's one to talk. Hey TJ! Transformers: Kiss Players!
Yoshi jobbed to Jinder? WHY?!? *Randomly starts Goring everyone in sight*
But anyway, on the question of the boycott ending? Well, we here are DarkMatch consider the fact that we'd be the only ones willing to talk about Impact to be a good selling point if we get on Reviewtopia, I'm gonna say not really. Plus, it'd have to be scheduled around Game Night.
Winners
Hm... if I had to pick, I'd say AJ, for doing a damn good job with her Harley Quinn character. Can't say I have too many winners this week.
Losers
Oh man... which target to put on Impact for this week? Should it be their move to 8 and going live which sent ratings down? Should it be them kicking Samoa Joe out of the Impact Zone and canceling his Slammiversary match? Should it be their bogus lawsuit against the WWE? Oh no... I've got one. A loser in advance for the most likely storyline: the Brooke-Garrett Regime where the Nepotistic Nimrods get booked as duel champions and down the road get married, bringing ratings down FURTHER!
That's it from me. Peace out.

RE: Episode 144
-Villian Storyline: Fun and a wonderful storyline
-Outsider Story: This i hated because of the fact that it had WAY...TOO...MANY...HANDICAP MATCHES!
-Hero Story: loved it, and i dunno, i think i recall changing a few of Cass' moves and the game seemed alright, or at most still playable. The twist was so much fun and it made me happy to play at the Nitro and Starrcade arena :)
Raw: We skipped it for E3...and not a single fuck was given honestly. Here's a brief summary in my mind
-Cena vs....COLE!? Really? And Cena wins (after defeating Tensai...yea WWE truly thought this guy would be a big hit)
-AJ is still a crazy chick and I for one still love her for it.
-Ace might get fired next week courtesy of Vince....enough said
Winners: Cena for making Cole his bitch, the return of Mr. McMahon, and next week, I am heading to Florida!
Losers: Nintendo's press conference and Cole for being a little bitch.
Here's a gif from me to you!

RE: Episode 144
Raw: The Red Ranger vs Former Black Ranger, Bryan interferes in Punk and Kane's match. Kane gets mad. A Wild AJ Appears, Kane used intimated had little effect. Wild AJ used Adore, had some effect. Kane used run. got away safely. and Cole got the whopping he deserves.
As for the Boycott to end, i have to watch at least four impacts. just to be sure that i didn't see one episode and judge them on one bad show. so what im posing is that let's give tna a chance to see if they really improve or not. and yes i know this idea is crazy, hell the preacher in the next cell kepts yelling "Damn You hogan, Damn You!"

RE: Episode 144
Heres another Top 5 for this week: Best comedy gimmicks. My one limitation is that it has to be intentional. That takes away Scott Steiner, Sid Vicious, and Ultimate Warrior promos.
5. Shark Boy and Curry Man. These two looked like they belonged in Chikara, but were actually on Impact. This was in the middle of the Steve Austin parody, and it was great for TNA to have humor not associated with Eric Young. Christopher Daniels, please come back as Curry Man!
4. Edge and Christian pull down Lance Storm's pants. Lance Storm is an intimidating person. So much so I was unable to bring this up when he signed an autograph for me at a ROH show. Thats what made the bit so funny and why one should never volunteer for a five second pose.
3. Tie! Rock & Sock Connection and Head Cheese. Both Attitude Era tag teams had the same premise of a nutjob and a serious competitor in an unlikely duo. Both teams had memorable moments and it was just too hard to pick from one.
2. Steve Austin's war with Vince. Assaults in a hospital, a beer truck, a cement mixer, a zamboni, and downright taking control of the company for a brief period kept viewers watching with WWE's ratings being at their highest. Its magic in a bottle that'll never be repeated.
1. Degeneration X, 2006. There was hype starting at Wrestlemania 22, and what came from it was pure genius. There was something special about watching middle aged men act like raunchy teenagers, and I looked forward to each and ever week of the last hurrah before the PG era came in.

RE:Episode 144
Hey guys, long time listener from the world of Itunes! I felt like I had to come out of the shadows and talk about the topic of the TNA boycot. I feel like RAW has been going down the hill for the past few weeks, these last two shows have been so hard to watch for me, so I gave TNA a shot and boooooooooooooy am I happy I did. I havent seen Impact in 2 or 3 years, and these two shows made a believer in me. They had a solid Go-Home show this week that was extremely fun to watch. I like Dvon as the TV Champ (never seen him on 1v1 matches but damn hes gotten Ripped! Hes an awesome Powerhouse). I also didn't mind Brooke Hogan, I didn't care for her, but still shes new to the performing part of the biz.
Overall, I enjoyed watching IMPACT more than RAW this week because absolutely nothing happened on RAW, other than Cole getting BBQ on his face. I like Cole as a heel because he makes me rage and laugh at the same time, hes pretty hilarious, hes also a good sport because that last segment of RAW was so hard to watch mostly because Cena is so plain/blank. That segment could have been so much better with a Sheamus or CM Punk. Am not looking forward to RAW being 3 hours...unless
Unless the First hour is the new NXT, I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW NXT !!! IT LOOKS AWESOME!! I call it the NXT Impact Zone. FCW / NXT Show is like KoF vs Street Fighter, its gonna be great! Whats best is that its going to push Stars such as Tyson Kidd to a much higher level.
So...
Losers= RAW as a whole, (except for the American-Yes Dragon Daniel Bryan Danielson...YES! )
Winners= TNA Impact (this is my personal opinion) great show, cant wait for the PPV. NXT and FCW! Both shows are fun to watch so I cant wait to see them clash in the new NXT Impact Zone!
All in All, Great show guys, cant wait for the episode 145! cant wait, cant wait? yeah cant wait! *jumps out the window*

RE: Episode 144
Easy to reckonize. It's Mr Sparkle all over again.
-Raw : Typical show. For the 3rd time in a row, Divas aren't involved (thank god) and Cena not only beat Tensai (best way to bury him WWE creatives) but also beats Michael Cole (THANK YOU...JOHN CENA JR.).
Speaking of the poll about who's the biggest threat to Punk's title reign is AJ. She's like Harley Quinn : unpredictable and unstable. Like the Beiber/Twilight fans.
-Impact : Roode taped out to Sting...for the 2nd week straight. Hopefully, he's going to retain at Slammiversary (I hope). As for the rest...to be honest, keep the boycott. There's nothing special. And besides, every time we gave them the benefit of the doubt, they always screw up in the process : Take example on Alex Silva. Once he won TNA Gut Check, we haven't see him for a month.
-Rumor : If Ric Flair indeed comes back to the WWE, will Dolph Ziggler drop the harpy for the Rolex wearing, Space Mountain riding son of a gun ? Make it happen, please ^^
- Win or Facepalm : TNA Hall of Fame ? Just think about it.
Winners :
- Cena for killing Cole and shut his god for sake mouth.
- Sin Cara. Makes a return with no botches in it. We did miss you.
- Joey Ryan : for those who don't know, he was a contestant in TNA gut check. Unlike Silva, he got a personality and did good against Austin Aires. The results : he got rejected. The answer to this : look at this promo. Not the best ever, but a good one.
Who's ready for a Mustache Ride ?
Losers :
- Tensai. First they dropped the Lord gimmick, then the Ninja suit and now, he got his 1st lost. All the hype just vanish...
- Damien Sandow. Not for his promos but..I would ask you for you Man-Card (Seriously ? PINK ??)
- Ladies and Gentlemen, say goodbye to AW's All World Enterprise. One decent stable who now vanished in thin air. Thank you WWE creatives.
- Slammiversary. For the 10th anniversary of your company : you offer to us a match between you best heel and a lawyer (Otunga ripoff ?), matches with no development, an open challenge with the worst streak ever made and the Hottest thing in your company facing a 50+ year old has-been.
I hope this is a good one, but I really doubt it.
And yes, I'll stand correct : I still wanna hijack Johnny Ace's scooter. Just for singing Batman. Later guys !!

RE: Episode 144
I only played WWE 12 a few times, I couldn't do anything with the controls! I also can't stand what they've done with the skin tones for CAWs, but maybe that's just me. The stuff other creators can make with that game is pretty amazing; hell I've seen the entire Gokaiger team and a number of other Toku and Super Sentai teams. Anyway guys, been a while since my last post here. And since then...not much has changed. Though I agree that E3 was the better use of time this week, Raw was a bit better than it typically is. Hell at least we got a decent Tag Team match out of it. In this company I have to take what I can get in that area.
Vinnie Mac is making his return to TV...yeah that doesn't fill me with hope. Ace is to integral to a bunch of storylines for them to be getting rid of him, and Vince doesn't play Face that often, or that well if you ask me. The most I think we can expect is him putting someone else in position to overrule Ace, y'know an official Liason of the board or something. That or McMahon is going to swerve us all and say he approves of everything Ace is doing, reprimands him for the Brock Lesnar/Triple H debacle, and says to keep up the good work. It seems like something WWE would do.
Winners:
Tag teams getting any time on the shows- As I said, I've got to take what I can in this company. Kofi, truth, Hawkins and Recks put on a good show. Hope WWE runs with it, but I won't hold my breath.
E3 coverage of Transformers Fall of Cybertron- SEE THIS HOLLYWOOD!? This is how you make Transformers cool! ACTUAL F-ING EFFORT!
Sin Cara- I was iffy on the man's return, but he's been doing a solid job so far. Keep up the good work man.
K
Chris Sabin- I didn't get the chance to post this last week but he had a great match with Austin Aries. Congrats, you two are the only reason I have to even attempt to watch Impact.
Team Macktion- Or those Jobbers Ryback squashed. I recognized Krazy K and I was guessing that thee other guy was his brother, I haven't seen him as often as the other. Even if it was a Squash match, these guys deserve tv time.
Cena- for doing what a lot of us wish we could get a way with doing: beat the hell out of someone who annoys us.
Losers:
Sin Cara's mood lighting- With the mesh over his eyes, I can't help but wonder how well Cara can see with the lights turned down. Maybe that's why he had so many botches.
Television in general- Why the hell is every annoying internet personality getting their own show? Just WHY!?
Ryback's intro- Seriously, I don't get why we have the explosion sound effect but no real pyro. What's the point? Dragonman is confused!
Booker T: Booker, I like you a lot of the time but seriously; stop with the "Shucky Ducky" thing! Tazz' "let the pigeons loose" thing is only a little more stupid than that! And you don't want to be that close to TNA's level.
That does it for me; later guys! *Teleports away*
