Stupid Shit in Wrestling: Episode 4

Let's get started:

 Apparently, Ric Flair's absence from many recent TNA television episodes may be connected with the "Historic" NYC show, in which Ric Flair signed some autographs before the show, but then left and no-showed the event. He even refused to come back and participate in another autograph signing after the show. One TNA wrestler even went to the point of stating that Flair's TNA run is 'a real embarrassment to his career'.


I've been doing a bit of research on this situation and apparently Ric Flair wasn't actually scheduled to be part of the live show and the only reason he was there to begin with was to sign autographs as a favor to the former VP of TNA talent relations, Terry Taylor.  

D'Lo Brown, was the TNA Agent in charge there and apparently tried to get Flair to stay in case they needed him for anything, but Flair refused to stay because he wasn't advertised and left, but participated in a smaller autograph signing the next day.

If Ric Flair wasn't advertised, then he has the right to refuse to participate in the event, end of story.

enough about this, though, let's move on....




Shawn Michaels is getting harassed by the animal rights group, PETA, due to his new hunting show on the Outdoor channel, Macmillan River Adventures. They even went as far as to compare his killing and eating of animals to the serial killing and cannibalism of Jeffrey Dahmer, who killed 17 men and ate them.

.....You mean to honestly compare hunting animals and using their meat to feed your family towards a serial killer who butchered 17 people and ate them? There's one slight issue here with that statement: Hunting isn't a felony, you dumb ass!


in a recent episode of his wrestling show, 'Reality according to a Super Genius', Mark Madden stated that Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter sat down with the TNA roster and told them that they need to improve their story-telling in the ring.

Story-Telling in the ring is probably the least biggest thing that TNA needs to worry about improving, in fact, I'll come up with a list off the top of my head of ideas that need to be improved more than story-telling.

1. Hire new talent. (NON-FORMER WWE TALENT!)

2. Get rid of your worst talent (Matt Hardy, etc.)


3. Get rid of the Company-killing trio! (Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan, and Vince Russo)


Another comment from Mark Madden was about the creativity of the whole Cena/Rock angle going on through Twitter. He stated that the Rock might actually be getting irritated with Cena because of Cena's constant reminders that the Rock promised he would not leave the WWE ever again and yet, he's gone off to Hollywood once again and the next chance someone might see him is if he does decide to follow the rumors he posted on either Twitter or Facebook, I'm not really sure which, that he's going to be at Survivor Series.

I think Vince has finally learned a good lesson about promo segments: Let your wrestlers speak the truth and it makes the promo so much better. Cena's been stating the truth ever since the Rock left and it just makes this angle so much better, but I have to agree with Madden here, that there's truly no way to keep this angle alive over Twitter. The Rock needs to come back to the WWE in order to keep the angle alive or else it'll probably die sometime before the Royal Rumble.


Well, that's all for now!
