“TNA did its best to undermine its entire Knockouts division with the...”
– -from ProWrestling.Net “what went wrong” section from this past week in wrestling.
… I mean… I just… I want TNA to go away forever. I haven’t watched in years, but even reading about it at this point is painful and obnoxious.
thetilian asked: CM Punk didn't start the Straight Edge Society cause he was listening to Living Colour. Of course he is legit as fuck. Glad to see your still getting a good dose of the WWE universe in Czech Republic because it has been a doozy lately. Miss youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
I shit my pants when Punk had an H2O hoodie on at...
The guy is legit as fuck.
Anyone know if there was someone specific he was bowing to at the head of the entrance way? Eh, probably some dudes from Gorilla Biscuits or something.

“It still amazes me that people are calling for Cena to turn heel to save this...”
– Skummy, one of the smartest wrestling fans I know at EWB. (via sugarazor)
It’s mostly ridiculous because what could Cena possibly do to be boo-ed more half the time? He, for all intents and purposes, is a heel at this point, in a similar way Bret Hart was a heel during his pro-Canada phase. ...

“Am I honestly the only one that isn’t distracted by the mentions of twitter?
Because it seriously doesn’t bother me in the slightest and I don’t think they’re wrong for mentioning twitter…but that’s just me.
Yes, Twitter won’t be around forever, but that shouldn’t be a reason to not use it. Twitter is a useful tool for promotion and feedback right now and any...

droptoehold:
That equates to someone mentioning Twitter every 3 minutes and 36 seconds over he course of a show that fans paid for.
In comparison, they mentioned Facebook three times and Michael Cole said “Vintage” twice.
Are you bothered by the recent Twitter binge?
“I’m honestly not bothered at all.
Why? Because every single TV show does the same thing. They...

TH's House of Random: Occupy Wall Street →
wallsofjericho:
“The “occupy XXXX” movements around the country seem to be losing a lot of steam, much to the delight of their growing number of opponents. It was a flawed movement from the start, mainly because the people protesting outside Wall Street and the other locales made it more about the same kind of…”
I don’t think the issue was “how much an entity can...
Turnbuckle Zine: Managing Expectations, Nintendo,... →
sugarazor:
Honestly, I think Raw’s had a really good year’s worth of wrestling. It’s the storytelling that’s gone to shit.
I don’t even necessarily disagree with that, and I don’t really watch Raw FOR wrestling, either, so like I said it;s nice to get good wrestling out of it when you can… I just never feel on the same wavelength as people who get so bent out of shape that...
Managing Expectations, Nintendo, And Your Problem...
internationalobject:
No, Raw isn’t a great venue for solid wrestling matches or simple story telling, but it’s has never been like that. Monday night Raw has never been that great at the things traditional wrestling fans want, and you’d think after 18 years people would get it through their head not to expect 20 minutes out of Beth Phoenix.
WWE says this themselves. You want long matches? Go to...
Awkward Over Exposure?
Anyone else noticing that Zack Ryder has been getting a lot of air time but, aside from maybe a month ago when he had a decent on screen feud with Dolph Ziggler, he hasn’t been doing much of anything? He’s just sort of shilling his merch (which is all awesome and hilarious) and doing the same thing he does on his youtube show. And with regards to his feud for the US title with...

“The Muppets: If you love the Muppets, then you disagree with this...”
– ProWrestling . Net
I try not to be the “incessantly dissect what wrestling media has to say about wrestling” guy, and have spoken out against it a bit in the past but, really??
So, the fictitious characters of the Muppets didn’t “do it” for this guy whose job it is...
Does anyone have any trouble loading the TurnbuckleZine main page? Like, on my computer the site takes forever to load for some reason.
I don’t want to have to overhaul the layout but whoever is hosting most of the original design features seems to be having trouble on their site, too, so I’m thinking it may just be some dude who didn’t renew a domain or something.
I...

you know from what I was hearing about TNA I started thinking about checking it out again… reading the first paragraph for the liveblog of this most recent episode of Impact pretty much killed that nightmare.
I just finished my Teaching English Course in...
This weekend will consist of literally 8 hours of WWE… vengeance, 10/28 smackdown, halloween Raw, and tonight’s smackdown.
