Isn't it just a best of show??

No. They taped it last week.

[DeviousOne]

Oh well ill be missing it i got to be at a family thing later lol

[claud3]

It sucks it was taped last week and not a live show,

So it will be the same with smackdown

[Molo316]

Yeah. But can't really expect them to work Christmas Eve.

My brother tells that they're taping next week's Raw this Saturday too.

[Molo316]

Just watched TNA again for the first time in quite a while - man, it is garbage!
WWE is bad, but TNA's content is just terrible in my opinion.

[DeviousOne]

Its like watching cheap porn when your watching tna lmao

It is really sad what TNA has become. They had potential, but started hiring all these ex WWE writers/trainers/wrestlers and they all had their own ideas. They do not have many filters in TNA where WWE has a long list and we see now, just as we did with WCW when they did same thing, that it is a good thing.

[DeviousOne]

See what happens when Vince is a filter

[claud3]

TNA as awsome wrestling at great points of all their shows, but the segments suck something shocking. Like the most of the WWE ones to

So to try and strike a balance, is not all that hard

[Molo316]

I won't deny that some of the stuff that their roster can do in the ring is incredible - I don't think anyone can deny that about some of the good guys/gals there, but yeah, the content of promos and storylines was just awful.
I thought I'd record it and see what's been going on since I stopped watching, and I was so bored after about 10 minutes.

And I still cannot see why anyone from even years ago thought that Brooke Hogan was hot. She's revolting!

[claud3]

Agree 100%,

The wrestlers are awsome in the ring, but on the Mic not all are talented at that. And brook Hogan is killing me and her story with bully Ray. Why has he never been TNA WC, I mean he is great in individual competition and yet never given the top title

Why

Also the knockout division would be awsome, without this shit segments back stage with brook Hogan and the whole it's my mission to be diva champion. I mean really unnecessary

[Molo316]

I agree with you on the Knockouts front.
This week there was a segment with Brooke talking to Mickie James, Velvet Sky and Tessmacher about getting a title shot. The way she was "in control" just didn't wash with me, and I also always got the feeling that she's only doing that because her father calls shots within the company - it's the same with Bischoff's son. I don't know what he's like now but I watched during his debut and he was so transparent and pretty shit in the ring. What Brad Maddox is going through with his character in WWE is what he should have gone through, rather than getting a cheap victory over Kurt Angle - Kurt Frickin' Angle of all people!

But back to the women: it also grinded on me how cheesey the lines were between the ladies. All of them were faces and it felt pathetic. "No disrespect to you, girl, but I'm coming for that title!" "I expected that call [for Tessmacher not getting a title opporunity] but I have to respect that..."

IT WAS SO BORING!

Man do not get me started on this, the WWE stays away from this kind of thing involving all wrestlers female and male alike

But they do a cena fight for the title from time to time, because it sells to kids

Back on topic:...

Why and I know it's a freaking stupid question. But why brook Hogan, I mean granted she is sperm to an icon and all that. But she might have grow up around wrestling, does not make her an expert on the industry

We the fans know so much more than she would ever know and this whole diva face stand of, is to sell the feelings of the divas to the fans as if it's true. The worse it's towards kids

And making them out to be stupid and it falls flat on its face, with parents that know the difference.

Also. I will ask again, why has bully Ray been side lined for so long with out actually getting the TNA WORLD TITLE

And hardy has and he has been there in a shorter period than bully ray

You answered your own question. She may be the daughter of the man who revolutionized wrestling, but that doesn't mean she knows anything. In her case she doesn't. She is a waste there and since her singing career went know where daddy helped her out with a job.

It have to make you lmfao, because it's so ridiculous and like why all this time why

She is destroying The knockout segments and acting in general

They need to give bully the top title for a long run

[kaushalsingh]

I am a big fan of WWE.. IT is so entertaining..My favorites are John Cena,HBK,The UNDERTAKER,Batista,Khali

[claud3]

well you have come to the right place mate... If you are massive fan and hopefully you can get into healthy debates with us over the state of the business

and how the companies all work and lie

[DeviousOne]

You enjoy kahli??? I've never heard that one before well from anyone in the states lol

[Molo316]

Check the flag next to his user name.

I'll give Khali credit for his efforts, but in my opinion he just doesn't work on almost every level. I suppose he does well for business internationally though.

I'm hoping he's there when I go to the wrestling. I want to hold up a sign saying "Benchod" and see if he sees it and gives a reaction

[DeviousOne]

Guess its the yoa ming effect in this situation lol

[claud3]

R-TRUTH is back soon and that's great news, after that nasty gash to the leg

[Yuuichi]

I am looking forward to Henry and Christian coming back. I really enjoyed Mark Henry House of Pain championship run last year.

WWE Bash At The Beach Returning in 2013?
Source: Garv

Well, WWE's PPV schedule next year still isn't 100% decided.

Over The Limit 2013 is set to take place currently on October 3rd in Cleveland, Ohio which leaves a gap in the slot for May 2013.

For May 23rd, 2013, many websites have reported a gap in WWE PPV's and the latest name to be thrown out there is Bash At The Beach. This is currently appearing on Wikipedia but is also making the normal rounds around the web.

WNS

- The Rock is now confirmed for another SmackDown taping in 2013. He will be appearing at the January 22nd SmackDown tapings from the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California.

nodq

That's pretty cool! The Rock appearing on a taped show and not just on live Raws, and I suppose the show that was "named" after his catchphrase.

And also... yeah...

It's said that The Rock is perfectly fine with dropping the WWE Title to John Cena at WrestleMania 29. It's been reported Rock has been under the impression that he will be the one to end CM Punk's title reign at the Royal Rumble.

nodq

[claud3]

nice one... Have you seen the weight henry has lost, over 250 pounds by all accounts

this is mark henry now.. I know not much to look at, but he has lost a lot off weigth

[Yuuichi]

Ok first it is WCW bash at the beach ugh I don't think WWE ever did a bash at the beach when they got rights. Thiers was always summer slam. 2nd Henry look good. Man hopefully he has not lost any muscle. Thirs Rock seems to be set in stone to win title. F that. My WWE13 universe is more exciting and unpredictable than that lol.
