Worst Feud of the Year

No sense of humour!

CM Punk calls Beth Phoenix a douchebag and alludes to how she changed during their relationship. Doesn't really elaborate. I'm surprised he went that far though. Interviewers are quite annoying.

I like how there's a question mark at the end of the title when it's plainly obvious that he did call her a douchebag.

Worst Feud of the Year

1999 - Big Boss Man vs. Big Show
No sense of humour!

I remember watching this with my Dad at the time & laughing our heads off.

[Dark Ritual]

Wasn't it done about a year or so after Show's actual Dad died though? I assume it got the award for that amount of bad taste.

[A J Styles]

Went to watch TNA tonight which was amazing, really impressed with and Sting/Hogan wrestled!

You have got to give us more than that buddy.

From the TNA show in Nottingham earlier tonight:



That is one old jacket.




For a House Show, looks like TNA did a great job with the lighting/set.

Wasn't it done about a year or so after Show's actual Dad died though? I assume it got the award for that amount of bad taste.

I can't remember actually. I thought it was many years before.

[Rog]

Apparently Miz is confirmed as the first entrant. Thanks Drum, Rots and Mock.

Changed to the 7th entrant, my sweeps number

[A J Styles]

TNA's houseshow compared to WWE is fantastic, has a titantron up showing wrestlers entrances. It's well worth going to even if your not a big fan, plus a more adult centered audience!

Velvet Sky is currently on a plane to the UK. She'll be at the The Entertainer Toy Shop in The Westfield Shopping Centre, Stratford at 4pm later today. No idea if she'll be on TV for the Tapings. If they're flying her out, surely she'll be doing the Challenge date? Though I do believe the prize was for a venue of the winner's choosing. Just seems stupid if they're not, is all.

And in case you missed it, the Velvet Sky 'blowout' from earlier in the thread: http://www.grcade.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=48&start=61960

Just watched last years rumble. Apart from a cracking start, it was pretty average. Pretty quirky though that #1 and #2 of that year (Punk and Bryan) are now both Champions.

Yeah, it wasn't bad. Seems like Joe does the same chair stunt at every house show, though. I've seen him do it at least twice, now. Best match for wrestling was the X-Division one. Aries Imagine the pop if they hadn't announced Hogan at all and he'd had his proper entrance music. Bully Ray is pretty good on the mic now, too. His thing with the guy in the crowd was great!

Wish they'd had JB as the announcer instead of Christy Hemme

I had really gone off Hogan too but I was very impressed with him in all his interviews this week.

Joe was so over with the crowd which was really surprising, I loved that thing Bull Ray done when he spit up in the air and caught it back in his mouth both amazing and disgusting at the same time

And JB over Christy Hemme are you crazy Frank?
