Krae message me. It'll probably be ok. I'm the other part of this setup.
I don't think there is anyone that can be behind A8 and have it not be a disappointment. If it has anything to do with a Hogan, Bischoff, or Jarrett, everyone will groan hard. If it's just Luke Gallows and Mike Knox, well who gives a shit. There aren't any big stars to be behind it anymore. There is Austin, Goldberg, and Batista that are left as big names. None of them are going to TNA, ever.
They have to have an unknown dude that they are ready to make a real star. It can't be on old WWE/WCW/ECW guy.

If your into 5-10 minute matches with top talent, same talent that had outrageous booking control to make themselves champion... then sure.
1990-1995 WCW was actually pretty good.
There were bright spots but NWO really soured the last 5 years of that company. Not to mention lack of development of the mid card from 97-01.

Steiner can command and demand anything he wants. He's the greatest tag team of all time and he has no sympy for anything.

That is easily the weirdest realistic dream I've ever heard of. I can't imagine what your mind was trying to sort out when it came up with that.

Bischoff is obviously behind aces and 8's. could have been better......... Could have been much worse.
Most of my dreams are that weirdly realistic. My sister and I have the weirdest, most vivid dreams. I regularly have semi-lucid dreams, dreams that reference dreams I had earlier in the night, sleep paralysis, false awakenings, hardcore insomnia. This one was only weird because it had wrestlers in it. That's a highly normal one for me.
I had one a few months ago set in a dingy, abandoned movie theater. In this theater, there was a movie being shown. Some underground, illegal thing, being shown illegally and all. At the entrance into the theater, there are two dudes going at it hardcore. The pitcher posts up for leverage and when he pulls out, there is some weird pink thing dangling from his dong. He's all "wtf is this?" and then it turns into a pink alligator. Then the cops burst in to break up whatever was being shown illegally. I laid out in the seats and sneaked out the back. I don't know what happened to the pink alligator.
who here is the wresslegaf doctor? I had got in a particular encounter and my ribs are hurting quite a bit. mostly when I breathe in heavy like a yawn or sneeze and some physical activity I cant do too well. so how do i know if my ribs are broken, fractured, or maybe just bruised?

PM RBH he is doctor
He just needs to wrestle jobbers and cut promos for a few weeks before his big match so he can heel up. He'll still work the match like he's injured though because he'll take his opponent's finisher on the go home show. That finisher coincidentally works the ribs hard. It's ok though, he'll still win that match.

That's fascinating. I mean, the insomnia and paralysis sounds terrible, but the other stuff you mentioned is just wild. Lucid dreaming is such interesting stuff.
But now I can't stop thinking about the pink alligator. Where would such a thing even go? Would "Pink Alligator" be as good of a band name as "Tripmaster Monkey"? This might actually keep me up for a while.
Aw man, and some Gaffers called it from the last OT, too. My 7th worst fear for this angle has been realized. Oh well, at least it would make sense for Bishoff to run a biker gang, and for him to find a way to worm his way back into TNA. As silly as Aces and Eights can get, I enjoy the idea of a faceless society running amock behind the scenes. + ninjas.
Hervey comes out in his first wrestling appearance and cuts a promo about how Gut Check is nothing more than a cheap ripoff of TNA Reaction.
Actually, I don't want to make any ludicrous fantasy booking right now, I just want someone to say that on the show.
I've only had one full on lucid dream where I could control what was going on. It was set like a 30s gangster movie. I tried to fly, of course. Didn't really work. I got a little bit in the air and lost control and then woke up shortly after. But I regularly (as in, just about every night) have dreams that I'm aware they are dreams, but can't really do anything in them. They just switch back and forth between 3rd and 1st person and I sit around thinking, "this is a really weird dream" before waking up and thinking "that was a really weird dream".

I wouldn't go that far at all - even in 97, 98 you had PPV matches with undercard talent and midcard, Alex Wright vs another great worker, given 15-20 minutes and more. Fantastic matches in WCW, they really gave them a lot of time to talk in the ring. Outside, well...that's all nWo.
BadAss2961

So wait, the nWo was a bad thing now? Yeah, it ultimately became a monster that would kill WCW, but from '96 to about early '98 they were the greatest thing on television. Still tons of talent with killer matches going on outside that storyline too.
I was actually really into TNA back when Jeff was heel, and all the way up to BFG last year.
And WWE... Well, it's been a bit easier to watch once I stopped considering it wrestling. lol
TNA's been boring for awhile. This Aces and Eight's story is a flop unless the reveal is amazing somehow, which is really doubtful... Roode & Storm feud doesn't have the same spark it did from several months back... Hardy & Aries is a pretty big time matchup for BFG this year, but there's no compelling story behind it thus far.

Well that's certainly an interesting one to add to the Wrasslegaf collection.

The amount of fucks that crowd gives could be less than zero. The ref however... lol
Playing MGS makes me think there should be more clones in pro wrestling, so I agree. We need more mirror matches. And they should all stay in their A8 gear and masks and have a spot where they either both go to the back brawling, or both have a reason to go under the ring. That way, the crowd will have no idea which one is the good clone and which is the bad clone. The loser clone is banished, but we'll never know for sure if the winner was the good or bad one. Regardless, they will turn on Sting.
WCW was making a lot less money than wwe was when it was all said and done.

The amount of revenue that the WWE brings in combined in sponsorships, Ads, TV Deals, T-shirts, Toys, and Other Merch has to be double to quadruple what they were making before. Thanks to PG they are friendlier with other companies in all those areas. They wont die anytime soon.
Yeah I don't think WWE has problems managing money like WCW did. They always adjust accordingly.
Raw's ratings are more impressive in 2012 with ratings of everything down across the board.
Also WCW had a ton of people making a ridiclous amount of money on the payroll and didn't have nearly the international revenue streams that TNA & WWE do now.
