They tried that last year and the WWE crushed them, so they decided to move back to Thursday
I haven't watched TNA in a while, but I did watch it last night. I have one question. What the hell is going on with Sting?
:wtf:
He's the Joker now?
Why not one last run as blonde Sting from back in the day.
:dunno:
Joker Sting is awful!!!!! Thurs' night's Impact was damn awful!!!!
They began it in January 2010 and stopped around March. WWE's strongest times are from that moment until 'Mania.
I respectfully disagree with you on that. Turner cared enough to open his checkbook and sign some of the top guys circa 94-96. He cared enough to give Bischoff time on Monday nights to compete with Vince. WCW had a great dominating run from 96-early 98'

yea but when turner bought NWA/WCW he called vince and told him he was now in the "wrassalin business" and vince told him "good for you cause i'm in the entertainment business"

Read what Whalers90 said. Turner cares about money.
Megalomaniacs
Exactly! Turner-like everyone above ground-cares about money; so it would stand to reason he cared about wrestling (an investment).

That's not how it works.
Wrestlers who wrestled for ECW liked ECW better.
Sometimes if the company or job is good it is not about the money.
Chris Jericho
"When we were in ECW it was small, I never made more than $250 a show but you would die for that company and when you came across that way, the fans came across that way and suddenly you have this underground revolution going on and it was real, it was a revolution, people believed it was the best."
yea guys jumped to WCW for GUARANTEED multi-million dollar contracts. its not like turner was trying to recruit them to come to his company to make it a great show it was that his pocketbook/checkbook was opened and bischoff/hogan used boatloads of money to pull guys in. TBS and the people of turner's finances started to look deeper and noticed they were paying guys who were hurt,no longer with the company because they were brought in just to try to "one up" WWE and those financial people started to question all the money going out the door and not any money coming back 2-fold from those contracts/talent signed.
this is probably the greatest book i ever read:
http://www.amazon.com/Death-WCW-Wre...6614/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1312200053&sr=8-6
if you watched the war between WCW&WWE throught the 90's then you would love this book. i read this in like 3 days and every show,ppv,house show,monday night battle that ever happened is covered in this book. and it gives alot of insight to what went wrong with WCW and how they tried to fix alot of issues and booking errors but just made things worse&worse.
I think we can all agree that we miss the Monday Night Wars
YEP! and the funniest thing about back then was i bought into the NWO & sting comes to the rescue angle every week (only to be disappointed 95% of the time) and i would watch Nitro and record RAW and watch Raw the next day or a few days later....but once Austin hit... i was still doing the recording of RAW but at work that night (i worked midnights) everyone would be talking about what happened on Raw and it would be this huge deal,it would be 6,8,10 people all giving their version of what Austin did or what McMahon did and i would bring up that the NWO beat up someone and there was no Sting in the rafters that night ....but maybe he would be there next week,and the room went ~~~SILENT~~~ .... i sorta realized then that i needed to watch Raw and record Nitro from that point on. i think my nitro watching before Raw was about a 2 month span. picture how many great Raw moments i missed because i was watching a 3hr god awful WCW show (other than if Jericho was on,the greatest ever!)
The best thing about the Monday Night Wars were guessing who would jump ship to either side. I marked out huge when Jericho went to the WWF in August 99'

The WWE are fuckin horrible!! Gail should have left a long time ago. They fucking ****** the greatest and hottest babe in wrestling!!!
First, I need to acknowledge how hot Christy Hemme is, and I've felt that way since I first saw her in the WWE Diva search (whatever it was called then). I would **** to not see her on tv.
However (and I may be alone on this) every week I find myself becoming more annoyed by her announcing. The way she has to put "-a!" at the end of everyone's name.
"A.J. Stiles-a!" "Samoa Joe-a!" "**** Money-a!" "Immortal-a!" (a mortorola?)
Maybe she can hook up with James Hetfield-ah!

she signed there knowing the history they have with handling the women performers. Gail Kim has no one to blame but herself. reverse the situation, and put TNA where WWE is and they'd do the exact same thing.
I blame you. You voted for Hubert Humphrey and you ****** Jesus! :crash:
