This is the first time in several years that I've watched TNA. Matt Hardy...WTF?! He suddenly looks like a hobo 2015 Seth Rollins. His mic skills appear to have waned as well with his wanna be olde english speaking ass. Anyone here keep up with TNA that can explain this shit?

Everytime I used to watch TNA (feels like ages ago) they were having some kind of match for a key that opened a box that got you fired or got you a title shot or was a spider or some shit.

Honestly, besides the Hardys and Lashley.. I have no idea who is even in TNA.
Wait, is Lashley even still in TNA?

Let me take you back about 2 years ago. The Main Event Mafia was running roughshod. TNA became unmissable in case MEM took someone else out or recruited. The conflict between Sting & Angle. It was amazing. It was TNA vs The Mafia. Wrestlers were with MEM or they got attacked. I remember the night MEM invited Team 3D to join them. I was on tenterhooks. Was the greatest tag team in the world about to join the greatest faction in the world? That is how you do suspense.
Going back further when Kurt Angle debuted and took it to Samoa Joe, that was an amazing moment. When AJ Styles finally won the World Championship, that was an amazing moment. When Team 3D debuted and destroyed Team Canada, that was an amazing moment.
There have been some of the greatest matches in American Professional Wrestling. Joe v Styles v Daniels. Joe v Angle. Sting v Styles. Motor City Machine Guns vs Anyone.
Hell, when I went to see TNA in January 2009 here in Dublin, it was better than any WWE show I had been to. For me it was #1.
Mid-way through 09 post-mafia, TNA was in a lull. Storylines became inconsistent. Turns were happening every show. In other words, business as usual.
Towards the end of the year, of course Hogan and Eric announced they were coming to TNA. This was the moment TNA lost the magic. Off the back of a tremendous triple threat (Styles v Joe v Daniels) and a supernova hot series between Wolfe & Angle, TNA fell apart.
January 4th 2010. TNA goes head to head with WWE for the first time, and while TNA got record ratings, RAW got double. Double. Yet Hogan saw this as, and somehow convinced Dixie that it was, a sign to move to Mondays.
March. TNA moves to Mondays, digging up fossils like the nWo, the Nasties and Flair, hire the recently arrested Jeff Hardy (Whom they made look completely inconsequential, despite being arguably the biggest draw the previous year in WWE) and massage the ego of RVD (who saw his reputation as more valuable than the World Championship) . I don't need to go into what happened next. Ratings plummeted, and TNA destroyed AJ's star power by jobbing him to RVD. TNA had earlier done this trick with Desmond Wolfe.
I try to look for positives, but I can only find a few. D'Angelo Dinero was relevant, but no longer. All the build up to lockdown was amazing. But it came to nothing. The best of 5 series between Beer Money and MCMG was amazing.
Look, the most frustrating thing for me is the talent at the disposal for TNA. D’Angelo Dinero. Samoa Joe. AJ Styles. Desmond Wolfe. Generation Me. Jay Lethal. Kazarian. Douglas Williams Notice a pattern? These guys are all, bar one, “TNA Guys”. That is they haven’t been in WWE and have broken onto the main stage as part of TNA. Yet TNA insists on programmes featuring ECW washed up hacks (I’ve never rated Hardcore Wrestling, but that’s a different article for a different day), a barely mobile Kevin Nash, a has-been in Ric Flair (Yeah I said it) and a never-was in Jeff Jarrett.

Well from what I saw Lashley is the champ. They still have the six sided ring. Apparently they have a hall of fame where they only induct one person a year. It just seemed like a clusterfuck.

I enjoyed old school TNA with booming X-Division (Joe, Daniels, Styles) some WWE/WCW guys (Angle, Sting, MEM).
Now I don't know much about it aside from alittle about the Decay when seeing what Abyss was up to. Got introduced to Jimmy Havoc tho, he seems cool.

I still fail to see how it's plagiarism on a message board. Doesn't he have to get something out of it for it to be up for lynch?

Especially when Excalibur wants to claim it as his own and NOT give credit where credit is due. Furthermore, Seth was the one who called him on his shit. If you have an issue with this, or our opinions on the subject, then I suggest you take it up with him. |

I get how it's lame, but it isn't something to cry about. I'm sure the guy won't care if he even finds out. |

The problem is that Excalibur is passing it off as his own work. If Darren Buckley feels that Excalibur's plagiarism has cost him money, he can take Excalibur's handler to court and sue him. While it is unlikely, it is still a possibility. The only thing saving the Excalibur, and the WCF, is that no money was ever exchanged. However, if Darren Buckley, the real wrestler Excalibur, or anyone else he steals from, feels that they have been damaged in any way by this, then they can sue him, and Seth.
Excalibur is guilty of plagiarism. He has committed theft of other people's work. How would you feel, or any of you feel, if you found out someone in another fed was stealing your roleplays and passing them of as their own? Or worse; if they were stealing a piece of writing that you were paid to do.

You're just wrong.
And he didn't even claim it was his.
Jesus.

Posting an article on a message board isn't going to get anyone sued.
