I was listening to the busted open radio show on XM, and they had Robbie E call in, and he said that the jersey shore character/gimmick was indeed a Vince Russo idea that he's wanted to do for a while but was looking for the right wrestler that could fit it

Why does that not surprise me? So I guess the right people are indie circuit performers who can't afford to have pride.

Translation: He wanted more money than the WWE was willing to pay.
HTM has always been a miserable bastard. Listen to one of his shoot interviews, he doesn't have a good word to say about anyone, except maybe Hulk Hogan.

I've never even considered buying a wrestling DVD release before, but Heenan is probably my all time favorite performer. Since I'm not familiar with all of these does this seem like a pretty definitive Heenan set? If so, this might be a first for me.

So I made a post on Dixie's FB feed criticizing her for a kayfabe post and "she" responded to me. I doubt it's her, but I'm going to hold off responding til I'm sober, it would be cool if my opinion was actually read by someone @ TNA.

I tried watching TNA for about an hour last night and finally had to turn it. That's the biggest trainwreck i've ever tried to watch. It made my head hurt. Watching the Flair-Hogan lovefest made my stomach turn. It's as bad as the last year of WCW IMO.

I thought it was odd that Abyss and Bischoff dropped Pope into the casket, and then started abusing the casket as if that was going to hurt him.
Somebody let me know when Hogan and cronies are gone so I can watch TNA.

Why? She seemed to have great potential with what little she was given. Guess the new incarnation of The Beautiful People only has room for the original two. I hope she just tries to find a real job as opposed to going to WWE, where she'll just be underused and relegated to the background again.

Thanks, the more I think about it, the more I think I have to get this. My memories of him go back to watching him when I was a kid in his early days with the AWA. Best heel ever.
