These are some of my favourites of his:

“I’ll beat you like a rented mule, or a mule for purchase, bottom lines is, if there’s livestock involved I’ll beat you like it”

To J.R “The last time i saw that stupid crooked smile on your face i got-a so mad, then i realised that stupid crooked smile is there all the time”

To Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes “Maybe you can pose in balding tough guy who has a little friend with a girls name magazine”

“Carlito likes to swap spit with men who don’t want to be cool”

“I’ll open a can of the ass whip and spray it over your big fat head”

Watching Impact. Syxx-Pac applying the spray paint to Eric Young. Just **** off.

Had to chuckle when Eric 'paid Kiss $1million to appear on a WCW show' Bischoff stuck the boot into the guest host concept. He's right, guest hosts generally suck - it's sad that TNA feel the need to keep calling WWE out though.

Hahaha, wtf, isn't Eric Young heel?

Yeah agree RE: the guest host thing. Though tbf it's actually worked out a lot better than I thought it might. Particularly when there is a big star or someone people actually give a **** doing it, it can be half decent. Most of the time it is total gash though, so I'm glad it'll be done and dusted in about 6 weeks time.

Eric Young's a face now. Well, he might have turned, and then turned again, while I was writing this.

Now I read a couple of weeks back about the Hogan/Abyss (the new John Cena apparently) V Flair/Styles main event for March 8th, and how I cringed at Flair ****ting on the grandest send-off ever given to anyone, ever. But the way it was booked was atrocious:

Hogan, "You're coming out of retirement brother, because I'm booking you in a match."

Well okay now. I hope when I go the shop tomorrow the owner doesn't tell me that I've been scheduled in to work here. ****ing ridiculous, awful booking, awful idea for a match, awful.

And WWE should add a new extra onto the last Flair DVD, explaining just how he crapped on that sendoff to wrestle a ****ing ****ty tag match with a self-important bald hasbeen, an overhyped poor man's Mankind, and tbf a quality wrestler in AJ. Flair, you disappoint me, if HBK loses at Mania I hope he shows him how to go out with a bit of ****ing grace. I know no-one ever retires in wrestling, but the way Flair got treated...ah this has angered me

Hahaha, bit of a shame, Eric Young was having a great run of late in his new heel persona, probably one of the best things about TNA actually.

But the whole Flair business is appalling quite frankly, talk about having no class. I don't think I have ever seen the E treat an outgoing star in the way they did him, and for him to go off and put himself in this sort of situation is just an absolute disgrace. And like you say, the match itself is just utter crap. Have never rated Abyss, not sure why he has been chosen for this match, seems totally illogical and not a good contrast in style to the rest of the guys in the match. It sounds so bad that I actually want to watch it, but at the same time I really don't want to give them any hit to their website or whatever, gah.

Well, I've fixed my Sky+ so can tape Raw every Monday night. Will almost certainly download the 8/3 Impact to see how they get on with a live show. Given the fact that they can't get basics right when they have two weeks to edit a show (a few weeks back there were tonnes of **** ups with the music coming on whilst people were talking, a rookie could have edited that out and they had I think 12 days to do it, alas they didn't, ****ing amateurs) I shudder to think what might happen when they're live.

I know they went live on 4/1, I thought that show sucked. TNA sucks. To call this Monday Night Wars II would be like calling the Falklands War World War III.

Hahaha, it is so bad, but I actually really am enjoying how bad it is. I must have a morbid sense of fun. Have they used Kennedy at all yet?

 

[Majin]

You have to feel a bit sorry for all the TNA nuthuggers who used to spew their vitriolic hatred of the 'E and profess their never dying love to the glory that was TNA "REAL RASSLIN'!!" and the greatest organisation that ever existed all over the internet, in about 2 weeks Hulk Hogan managed to come in and crap on everything they ever loved.

Yeah he's getting a bit of a push, feuding with Angle.

 

[Manee]

Just watched this week's Impact. Tbh, the sheer amateur feel to it all is starting to get to me.

Are Hogan & Bischoff doing the booking, thought they where just on air characters?

 

[GIMH]

They do the booking along with Russo.

 

[sledger]

Does Jarrett actually have any creative input anymore? Or has he been more or less totally shunted out?

 

[chalky]

Cos that worked so well in WCW

 

[GIMH]

Exactly!!!

 

[masterblaster]

From what I've read Jeff Jarrett works more on the business side of things such as merchandising deals, TV deals, sponsorships, finance, venues and events etc. I think his creative influence has been completely minimised, especially after the whole affair with Karen Angle became public knowledge.

 

[GIMH]

Speaking of Jarrett, his current on-screen role is to flip burgers

It's sad to see what TNA have become. For a while they were making some very compelling television. I think wrestling fans on the whole don't really despise WWE or really love TNA, they just want some competition back in the wrestling industry. For the sake of competition alone I hope TNA becomes successful. I can't say I agree with the direction they are going in though.

Hmmm. I was never much a fan of Jarrett as a booker or creative writer or whatever, but compared to what's going on now he looks like an absolute god. Feel a bit sorry for him as well, as what is in my eyes anyway, his company is being dragged down the drain by a bunch of moronic egomaniacs who think their failed ideas of a decade ago have suddenly become a lot more likely to succeed.
