Quote lister="lister"Well it has been a 20 year feud both in wrestling and real life so that was what was being put across. You wouldn't see that in WWE now as they are scared of blood, bad language etc. etc. Flair has had 3 previous wives before the 1 he has now, 4 children and a grandchild I'm sure he does need more money again.
A great decision to go live with the show before Bound For Glory and hopefully some of those turn into PPV buys.'"
Can see your points mate. However:
Although it's a 20 year fued it's already been done in WWE four years ago and it was a letdown then (e.g. because of them using too many terms/references from their books and the internet, most of which the live audience and probably a lot at home won't have understood).
Yes WWE wouldn't have allowed the blood and language, but to be fair neither of these enhanced the promos anyway. The blood for example did nothing but make both of them look like f'ing psychos (but not in a good "I gotta see this match" way). It was poorly done, neither of them made a lot of sense e.g. Foley going from hating Flair, to kissing his , to back to hating him. Flair's promos mean nothing compared to 15 or 20 years ago - he didn't shout and rave back then because he didn't need to. He was cocky, cool, and could wind the crowd up so much with his digs at the babyface (e.g. watch clips of his superb Randy Savage fued in WWF). Now he's just a deranged shell of his old self (and I hate to say that because I used to think the guy was class).
Are you saying that you sympathise with Flair's predicamant? He wasted so much money through four decades it's untrue. I've only heard the odd story but it sounds like he (same as Hogan) lived like a king for many, many years. I have no sympathy at all for him now. His 3rd marriage breaks up, costing him a sh*tload of money, so what does he do - quickly get married again, ffs!
To go from one of the richest wrestlers in the world to where he is now is his fault and his fault only mate.
If you really want to see what Flair thinks of TNA, search for an Off The Record interview he did about 6 or 7 years ago (it's on that popular video sharing website). He's a hypocritical old get, so is Foley - both claiming that they couldn't stand each other, and Foley stating in 2004 that he would never work an angle with Flair, this is now his 2nd one. Neither of them have a place in TNA anymore IMO, and like I've said, that's coming from someone who was a fan of them both for many years, but the business moves on (well, in theory it's meant to
).
Anyway, that's my rant done...
On a more positive note, All-Star Wrestling was a great show at City Hall last night, great tag match involving El Ligero (a fantastic British worker who does some superb high-flying moves in a similar style to Rey Mysterio), strong women's match (far better then any I've seen in WWE for several years), and a fun Royal Rumble at the end, good stuff.
Gutted though cos (apparantly) if the Hull date had been a week later Gangrel would have been there.
Two crazy old sods in the ring right there!
