  1. ThinkSoJoE’s Thoughts

    Leave a Comment

    Hello, fellow Bored Wrestling Fans!  It’s been a couple of months since I’ve done anything here on the site aside from the weekly Power Polls put on by Jason Mann of WrestlePerspective, so I thought with JT away, I’d jump in this week and ramble on with a rare “ThinkSoJoE’s Thoughts” column!  And what better week to return than the weekend following TNA’s HardCORE Justice PPV and “Whole F’N Show” free-per-view on Spike?

    I actually planned on ordering HardCORE Justice last Sunday, but I woke up around 8:07 and figured it was pointless by then to spend the 30 bucks on the show.  I promised myself I wouldn’t read any spoilers before I actually got to watch it, and damn, that would’ve been $30 well spent.  Nearly every match had a purpose, settling feuds from back in the original ECW, and the last minute Main Event change to RVD/Sabu was a great move IMO.  The only other person on the show that could’ve filled the void left by Jerry Lynn’s absence would have been Rhino, in a storyline sense anyway, but there was so much history between RVD and Sabu that it really was the best choice.

    The only BWF stuff I did for RAW was a quick tweet asking folks to use our #BWF hashtag to help AlyKat notice them for her review.  I watched the show as a fan, but I knew damn well that it was going to suck in comparison to the PPV I watched the night before.  I was right.  It’s not that RAW sucked in comparison to other recent RAWs, it’s that it happened to be on during a week where it would have had to outshine some of the best RAWs of all time to even compete with what TNA was putting on.  Look, I’m not one of those guys that floods the comment boards on other sites with anti-WWE stuff or pro-TNA stuff.  Typically, I’m a WWE supporter no matter what, but TNA just had the better wrestling this week.

    I haven’t watched any of NXT Season 2 aside from the one where The Nexus were on.  I just don’t care.  JT can vote for Kaval all he wants, I’m just bored with the whole NXT deal.

    And then there was Thursday.  TNA promised us a PPV style show on free TV, and that’s what they delivered.  Every match was amazing, and Shannon Moore proved that he can hang with a main eventer in his match with Jeff Hardy, but from a wrestling standpoint you have to give it up for Beer Money and The Motor City Machine Guns, and from a hardcore standpoint, RVD and Abyss.  Initially I missed the Fortune beatdown on EV2.0, but after being told about it Friday night and reading Drow’s statement that it made the initial Nexus attack look like “a junior high play,” I had to go back and watch it.  It was absolutely brutal – James Storm was just maiming people left and right with pieces of broken glass!  I can’t wait for the aftermath of this, when the EV2.0 guys try for revenge.  Extreme Violence?  It’s just beginning!

    I still haven’t watched SmackDown.  I’m not even interested in watching.  Initially I considered ordering SummerSlam tonight, but that’s probably out of the question too.  There’s nothing that’s captured my attention booked for tonight.  The only thing that would possibly make this worth the money is if The Miz cashes in and wins the WWE Championship tonight, and I highly doubt that’s going to happen.

    If any of our readers live in Western New York, come on out Friday, August 20th to Chuggers in West Seneca as DTD Entertainment presents the Honoring The Idol 2010 Pre Party featuring my band thinksobrain, whom G so graciously puts over in his SmackDown review every week.  Also, don’t forget that Empire State Wrestling returns to the St. Johnsburg Fire Hall in North Tonawanda on Saturday, September 11th.  The main event is set to be ESW Tag Team Champions Famous defending against Kevin Grace and Pepper Parks.  Also announced for the show is Jonny Puma vs. Ryot, and Ceasar’s Legion members Tommy Mandrake and Superbeast taking on our friends Barry and Brian Hardy.  Hope to see you guys around!

    Greetings from ThinkSoJoE-ville! Yeah, yeah, I know. I stole JT’s Random Randomness intro and just changed JT-Land to ThinkSoJoE-ville. Anyhow, I’ll be filling in for chjpacheco tonight, as his grandmother is in the hospital. We here at BWF wish her a speedy recovery. Tonight, the 8 Card Stud Tournament continues, and um… Uh… well, that’s all that’s been announced so far.  Ready?  Let’s cross the line, brother!

  6. BWF Roundtable: TNA Final Resolution 2009

    2 Comments

    Hey folks, I’m ThinkSoJoE, and I’ll be your host for our TNA Final Resolution 2009 roundtable.  Ready?  Let’s go!

    TNA World Heavyweight Championship match:  AJ Styles (C) vs. Daniels

    Drowgoddess: AJ retains after the possible match of the night, and some skullduggery on the part of Daniels. AJ/Daniels can continue to build for a while, and Daniels shouldn’t get the win and title just yet. Additionally, AJ is the ideal face of the company, and during this time of major upheaval, taking the belt off of him would be an incredibly foolish move.

    chjpacheco: Daniels wins via DQ

    JT: AJ Styles over Daniels

    ThinkSoJoE: We’re treading water until Hogan shows up, look for Styles and Daniels to steal the show but for Styles to retain.

    Three Degrees of Pain: Kurt Angle vs. Desmond Wolfe

    Drowgoddess: Desmond Wolfe wins in the third match after considerable treachery. The matches between these two have been fantastic, and the feud should not end yet. Angle pulled out a last-second win at the last ppv, and Wolfe needs one here to keep the momentum and the feud going. A loss here will not hurt Angle at all.

    chjpacheco: Wolfe wins only reason i say that is because of Kurt’s neck

    JT: Wolfe over Angle

    ThinkSoJoE: I think Wolfe will take this one.  I’d actually like to see more of Wolfe vs. Daniels, but I’ll take a continuation of Wolfe/Angle any day.

    Last Man Standing Match:  Bobby Lashley vs. Scott Steiner

    Drowgoddess: I really don’t care about this match at all. I’d like to see Steiner win because Lashley is a complete waste of space. However, until TNA decides what to do about Lashley’s MMA career, they’ll likely try to keep him as strong as possible. Steiner holds the only victory over Lashley in TNA right now, so Lashley will probably win here. Kristal will help.

    chjpacheco: Steiner because if Bobby as his wife at ring side she will be a distraction

    JT: Bobby Lashley over Scott Steiner

    ThinkSoJoE: Lashley is likely going to pick up the win here.  I’d love to see Steiner win, but I just can’t see it happening for some reason.

    TNA World Tag Team Championship:  The British Invasion (C) vs. Motor City Machine Guns

    Drowgoddess: Oh. Sweet. Mother. Of. God. This match has gotten zero attention, zero hype, and precisely one promo pointing out the lack of attention given the match. The promo war between Alex Shelley and Brutus Magnus could have been GOLD! That’s as may be. Give the MCMG the tag team title run that they have so richly deserved for the past two and a half years, already!

    chjpacheco: MCM i hate the british invasion they need NOT to have the belts

    JT: Machineguns w win the titles

    ThinkSoJoE: You guys are kidding yourselves.  The British Invasion are not losing those titles tonight, not in a completely underhyped match with zero real buildup against a team that, despite quite possibly being the best tag team in the world, hasn’t been pushed like one.

    TNA Knockouts Championship:  ODB (C) vs. Tara

    Drowgoddess: Tara wins. ODB’s heel turn and recent losses on “iMPACT” have weakened her enough that she would be better as the resentful ex-champ chasing her title.

    chjpacheco: Tara its her time to shine

    JT: No title change here

    ThinkSoJoE: I’ve got to go with Tara.  ODB is definitely in line for a heel turn, and the tactics she’s been using definitely lend themselves toward a title chase.  Tara will overcome ODB and walk out as Knockouts Champion.

    Mick Foley & Abyss vs. Raven & Dr. Stevie

    Drowgoddess: Raven and Dr. Stevie win. Foley will not be focused on this match, and won’t really care what happens. Abyss takes the fall here.

    chjpacheco: Raven and Dr. Stevie i have a feeling that an old friend from ecw is going to show up

    JT: Raven and Dr. Stevie win

    ThinkSoJoE: Raven and Dr. Stevie are really the first victims of Hogan coming in, aren’t they?  They haven’t gotten a lot of TV time over the past couple of weeks because one of their opponents is too busy worrying about Hogan.  That’s also going to be Foley’s downfall, as he’ll be too concerned about Hogan to worry about actually winning this match.

    Team 3D, Rhino, and Jesse Neal vs. D’Angelo Dinero, Matt Morgan, Suicide, and Hernandez

    Drowgoddess: Hernandez lasts the first five minutes against the entire heel team, but will be eliminated after his team enters. The babyface team will get down to either Matt Morgan or “The Pope.” The heel team will outnumber the last babyface. Either Morgan or “The Pope” gets the win for his team.

    chjpacheco: Team 3D, Rhino, Jesse Neal..just cuz they’re better

    JT: Morgan and Suicide surivive!

    ThinkSoJoE: There’s something strange going on, and I can’t quite figure out what it is.  It’s got to do with Suicide.  I’m picking Team 3D, Rhino, and Jesse Neal, simply because I have a feeling in my gut that something will happen with Suicide.

    Feast Or Fired:  Samoa Joe, Beer Money Inc., Kevin Nash, Eric Young, and Sheik Abdul Bashir vs. Kiyoshi, Homicide, Jay Lethal, Consequences Creed, and Cody Deaner

    Drowgoddess: Samoa Joe gets the X-Division title shot, and is furious. He will go on a rampage over this.
    Kiyoshi gets the Tag Team title shot for himself and Bashir against the new champs, the MCMG.
    I thought that Rob Terry was in this match, and I was calling him to get the World Heavyweight title shot, but since that doesn’t seem to be true, Robert Roode gets it.
    Either Cody Deaner or Eric Young will get fired, but Young will be reinstated by Kevin Nash.

    chjpacheco: Cody Deaner gets fired just because he isn’t being used and he sucks feast will be Kevin Nash because he has the money

    JT: Eric Young gets fired, James storm gets the title shot, Roode gets the X-division shot and cody deaner gets the tag shot.

    ThinkSoJoE: Deaner’s getting fired, I think that’s pretty obvious.  Storm is going to grab the Tag Team Championship shot, Homicide the X division title shot, and finally, Samoa Joe the World Championship shot.  No reason for the picks, just really not sure.

  7. ThinkSoJoE’s Thoughts

    I hate this.  I didn’t get into writing about wrestling with the intent of having to write tribute articles – not for guys whose matches I was just reviewing 6 months ago, at least.  When Captain Lou died, yes, it was a sad day for me as a fan, but Lou Albano was 76 years old.  Eddie “Umaga” Fatu passed away yesterday at the young age of 36, with reports coming in that he died of a heart attack.

    It was pointed out that WWE’s obituary, or whatever you want to call it, on WWE.com makes sure to note that Umaga was released from his WWE contract on June 11, 2009.  The person who mentioned it was pondering why WWE would point that out.  The reason is simple – WWE doesn’t want to have more heat on them about drug use if Fatu’s death turns out to be drug related.  WWE let Fatu go because he violated the wellness policy a second time and refused rehab.  The company can’t afford bad publicity right now, not with Linda McMahon running for the US Senate.

    ECW is set to be re-branded and re-formatted in the very near future.  The rumor going around is that the veteran ECW wrestlers will be moved to SmackDown and RAW, while whatever ECW becomes will be a showcase for new talent.

    Speaking of which, I went back over the last few days and watched the first three episodes of ECW on SciFi.  Not quite the original ECW, but not nearly what it’s become.  Anybody else find it funny that Mike Knox made his during a segment set to “Buttons” by the Pussycat Dolls?

    I hope TNA can sign RVD.  TNA’s guys can work circles around half of the WWE roster, and RVD can work circles around all of them.  With the Hogan deal, maybe we’ll see The Whole F’N Show become Mr. Thursday Night again.

    Jeff Hardy’s court date has been postponed once again, this time until January.  This means we’re certainly not going to see the Charismatic Enigma any time before the end of the year in any wrestling organization.

    That’s all I’ve really got for the moment.  JT will be here tomorrow with another edition of Random Randomness!

    Well, as you guys may or may not know, Friday was both JT’s and my birthday.  That said, I missed SmackDown on TV this week.  Luckily, I never actually watch SmackDown on TV, so that’s not a problem.  I’ve get the show cued up and ready to go, so once again I’ll be giving quick thoughts on everything as we go along!
