Bosston

 

I'd theoretically like to make the trip down to Boston for Mercedes' debut, but I'm not sure I'm into their product enough right now for a three hour trip + the expense.

Might be a last minute on a whim thing when they inevitably release premium seats like they did for Blood & Guts last year.

 

I’d like to go to the Boston show but I don’t like leaving my house

 

i cannot get over this ghoul dyeing his fucking mustache and eyebrows lol

 

lmao

 

that sounds not good

 

VKM bout to become GM on tna

 

St Paticks Day is on a Sunday my friend

 

Feels like every week in 2024 has been one bombshell after another.

 

Who is anthony cicione tho?

 

My friend, you don't know Boston if you think St Patrick's Day is only one day.

 

The current president with Anthem. According to Fightful, they wanted TNA to be more associated with Anthem than D’Amore. Stupid decision by them as D’Amore is a great wrestling mind and nobody gives a shit about Anthem as a company lol

 

The timing of this is curious, though. Anthem could be viewing the Vince situation and feeling like the wrestling business as a whole is going to be coming under more scrutiny. TNA has had its fair share of issues over the years, and have had their own botched internal investigations over harassment.

This may very well have nothing to do with any of it, but if you look at D'Amore's close personal connections (the likes of Callis and Jericho, for example) it's easy to connect some dots.

 

As long as nothing absolutely evil happened to cause D’Amore to be canned, TK should immediately bring him in to book the women’s division.

 

Absolutely wild to can the guy who just got your womens champ a marquee run in the most watched Royal Rumble in history...

 

I've never seen an Elimination Chamber. Any suggestions on a good one?

 

The first that came to mind is the 2019 one featuring Kofi Kingston

 

the 1st one with rob van dam

 

I think some of the ones with Edge/Undertaker/Batista around 2008-2010 are great too

 

Elimination Chamber 2017 is pretty good. Not as spot heavy as some others, but really good storytelling

For spot heavy, I feel like either 2021 Mens or last years US title one had some wild shit going on. Last years in particular I remember Gargano going crazy

 

this is my fav gimmick match and i think the 2014 one with Orton, Bryan, Cena, Cesaro, Christian, and Sheamus is one of the most fun main events since ive watched wrestling

 

Oh yeah this is a great one. The entire lead up on tv to that one was a lot of fun

 

Cesaro teasing us w some big wins

 

I think I like the first one best because of the newness/novelty factor.

Most of the more recent ones, to me, feel incredibly sanitized. I get that WWE has toned down on the violence, and that's totally fine, but they advertise this thing like it's a death trap and really they don't do much of anything outside of the same recycled spots that have lost all their luster.
