WCW 2010

"those days are over, Kev. We passed the torch..."

Really? Well Nash, Hogan, Sting, Jarrett and Biscoff really have a way of showing up and taking away TV time from the very guys they keep saying TNA is all about. How long can this stuff go on? Let's review: Pope's push=over, Nigel McGuinness=not on TV in a month, Samoa Joe=suspended. And who would like to see the Nature Boy in a street-fight? Answer : NOBODY wants to see Flair in a streetfight...he put Lethal over, just let it go. Isn't that what having a stable like Fortune is all about? Shouldn't Flair be above sullying his hands with a New Jersey street thug. That's Kazarian's job...

Focus groups said that fans wanted to see ECW. OK, I understand that. ECW was great. I am in my mid-thirties, and I witnessed argueably the greatest period in wrestling history. ECW was a huge part of that. ECW changed history. But it's done. It's like watching a 50's rockabilly revival show at CBGB's in 1977: ECW changed wrestling, and wrestling has already moved on and done something else. I love ECW, and I still don't want to see Sandman, Sabu, Shane Douglas, Amish Roadkill, Jerry Lynn, or New Jack...the reason these guys didn't move on and succeed in other promotions is that they weren't that good in 1999. Hardcore Justice takes away from the young guys in TNA. Period. The only person I want to see from ECW is Paul Heyman, and that's because I know he's smart enough to book for the future , not for the past.

This week's TNA had one foot firmly planted in WCW's and ECW's past, and it stunk like yesterdays garbage. The past few weeks I felt that touches of nostalgia here and there didn't effect the overall product...but this week was different. The Wolfpack paint on Sting spoke VOLUMES. Please do not reform Wolfpack....it didn't work in 99, it won't work now. If you are over 45, GET OUT of the ring at TNA and please pass the torch, for real, and stop holding these poor, hardworking kids down. Do your job, put them over, become a road agent, and reminisce on what once was.
