Thoughts From Atop The Lair 09/27/2011: Blast From The Past

I am TMIB, The Man In Black, and I sit high atop my lair observing the wrestling world. In this issue I will talk about Wrestling memories.  I re-watched the 2011 H.O.F. ceremonies recently.  I want to say this..I enjoyed the stories that I heard.

Hearing "Bullet" Bob Armstrong talk of the first time he saw a wrestling match and how it had effected him.  Listening to The American Dream Dusty Rhodes talk of the old days and seeing @WWEGoldust smiling and laughing at his dad's stories along with all the WWE Super Stars.  Hearing these stories re-energized my loyalty to the sport I love.

Some times as fans we enter a time of complacency.   We get frustrated with the "Business" and forget that it is the Super Stars of the sport we truly support.  It is their sweat, blood and tears that makes the shows we watch worth watching.  It is not their fault the powers that be continue to re-use story lines, hire writers and bookers that don't know what we want and what, to borrow a phrase from C. M. Punk, "Is GOOD for business".

Ok, as you know mahyem-news.com writes on all wrestling organizations as well as other topics.  Let's talk about the WWE  first.  The WWE is "on top".  This is true mainly due to the size of their organization.  They have had a lot of problems as of late with not finishing story lines.  Why this is I don't know..are they having problem coming up with attention keeping story lines..who knows.  We never get to find out what happens..and that bugs the crap out of me and most I talk to about it.  They did apparently realize that ADR as champ was not getting the draw as much as they thought he would.  I do like Cena and he is their money right now.  However they need to find someone to compete with him to allow them to gain the title.  If Cena keeps the title it will be Triple H and the Celtics all over again.  People will get tired of it fast.

Know lets talk about TNA..yes I watch TNA to allow me to write about them.  I don't like TNA...however..I do like some of their talent and believe they would do well in the WWE.  The main reason I watch TNA is I am a Sting fan...always have been.  Sing has always been there.  His transition from the blonde flat-top body builder type wrestler, to the Crow-like apparition to the Dark Night Joker-like character he is now has been fun to watch.  I believe he would do good in the WWE and think he should go to the WWE ASAP.  A. J. Styles would be huge in the WWE.  His work ethic and in ring skills would push him far in the WWE.  Samoa Joe would be a beast in the WWE with proper backing and focus.  These are just a few that I believe would do themselves a favor by going to the WWE and many others such as Gunner, Abyss, and Beer Money.  I agree with Sting in saying that Hogan and Bishoff are like a Cancer and at this point are what make TNA or Impact wrestling have so many problems.

Ok lets talk about ROH and Territory League..I don't get to watch Ring Of Honor so can't comment on them much but have enjoyed the stuff I have watched on the internet on the Territory League.  @TheREALRIKISHI and the boys have done a good job on the shows I have seen.  Would be good to see them on TV too.  That's it for this addition.
