Older than Twitter. Not quite as profitable. A pro wrestling counterfactual: What if the World Wrestling Federation was organized around workrate, around the idea that the pivotal word in the phrase "sports entertainment" is the first? Can one Ricky Steamboat pinfall put right what once went wrong? Go to the earliest archived post; scroll to December 19, 2005 "it begins" and you're ready to roll.

Triple H, October 2011:
“When I grew up, I hated Hogan. I thought he was terrible and didn’t like to watch him. I was like Punk in a way. I liked the Steamboats and Flairs and the ones that could go. Would I be right in saying that Hogan was the wrong guy to go with, and they should’ve changed directions and gone with Steamboat because he was the better wrestler? Ludicrous.” - Triple H. October, 2011.
TNA Slammiversary - 2009
Sunday, October 18, 2009
Lockdown is here.
Slammiversary - 2009
I don't do any commentary for the TNA posts as they really are here to provide context for the WWF narrative, but I do have loose storylines - Slammiversary is the big show in Counterfactual TNA - last year, it was where AJ ended Joe's 2 1/2 year title run - and the rematch is this show, so it's sort of a big deal.
TNA Title: Samoa Joe d. AJ Styles
X Title: Jay Lethal (w/Booker) d. Doug Williams
Tags: Kurt Angle/Sting d. Motor City Machine Guns
James Storm d. Bobby Roode
Frankie Kazarian d. Creed
Chris Daniels d. Rhyno
Cactus Jack d. Shane Douglas
Dudleys d. Abyss/Raven
Bound for Glory will be posted at the top of the year when we get to real world Final Resolution. I have until the end of October to find time to finish the build to Survivor Series 2008.
