Sandow literally ramped and took nuffin from ramping against sheamus and Orton.
Except a bad attitude when he had to drop the mitb to cena and should have used it to soldify his craft in psychology in the ring.
When he failed to do that is when I knew sandow was done.
He should never have let them hurt his spirit when they gsve cena the mitb.
As, he had an opportunity to establish himself as a legit psycho grappler.
If sandow would have just showcased some psychology dropping the mitb against cena.

He blew it and it exposed him and why he was demoted on the card and rightfully so.
I gave the rant about how it would be last time he was trusted inring and the last time.
Sandow would consistently supply quality ramp up to his craft as a performer in ring as well.

This sounds like basically every WWE talent let go over the past like 8 years. People act all excited like these dudes were being held down by the machine, then completely stop following them once they leave WWE, where they often flounder.

See:
Sandow, Galloway, Rhodes for recent examples


Rhodes is a top tier talent.
Galloway and sandow are from when the WWE, THOUGHT...
they could develop their own talent in house and own a monopoly that restricted the draw of the jndy heroes who saved wrasslin.
That do not fit into the general requirements of the a typical WWE standard as far as talent.
Till the WWE had to realize, they are low quality and desperately need the Indy talent.
As the spreadsheet based draw they were using to finesse advertisers during that lower quality period.
was soon to be over and done with if a change was not made.
That organically fit into the draw of the talent.
The wwe raided from roh and later roh tv on DirecTV.

Everyone in TNA thats not involved with Matt looks like a bum. They put mad money into filming a ton of vignettes for Matt's story, and everyone else just gets in ring promos, backstage promos, same ol shyt since 1985. It lessens them and all of their angles.

Think about Lucha Underground. Unlike TNA, they film vignettes, have special sets to film segments and they use them for everyone on the roster, not just the top guy. TNA is just redneck bullshyt and then theres the Matt Hardy stuff. How exactly you expect Sandow to get over by running in with street clothes every week and punching Drew Galloway? Who gives a shyt. Wheres his vignettes? TNA creative ruined him by not giving a fukk about him
Lowkey, I think Lashley is being done dirty. He's the champ and the top heel, but he's being treated like a damn stepchild just so Dixie and Corgan could continue to keep the Hardys happy.

He's only good at being swarmy intellectual Sandow. Idk wtf he is doing now. His pandering to the crowd too much and it's awful. I don't think he can even work in the ring well as a face. He's DOA until he turns but I'm sure it'll be too late.
fukk him:yeshrug:

How is he being done dirty? He literally held EVERY TNA title as of two weeks ago, he's literally beat EVERYONE :dead:
Is he the focus of the show? No.

Bad enough he has to play second fiddle to the Hardys, now he has to put up with Bennett being all up in the segments every week.

I would not be surprised if the Hardys or Bennett try a power move to take that title off of Bobby

I hope I'm wrong, though.

The Hardys had a ton of screen time this week, but they don't have 25 mins every week. Lashley ran through everyone for the last two months, beat everyone. Bennett and Moose have way more screen time because Lashley's gone. Lashley has a real fight next month and he's gonna have to devote his time to training for it.

Yeah, Bennett has way more screen time.

But, he's not over enough to justify it.

I agree that Lashley has been on a roll, but I don't like the way he's being treated at this point.

And Lashley will easily merk out EC3 at BFG.

I don't see that much in Bennett either. He seems very comfortable on screen and he's played a big part in getting Moose over, so at least he's been useful there. Lashley is off screen for a reason though. Training for a fight requires a lot of time and energy. He's already been given every belt and he's in the main event at the only PPV they'll have this year. Obviously they think highly of him if they've put him in that position.

actually real talk,...
they need to drop the investment into eciii, and should have ran with eli drake taking all the titles by cheating off lashley.
instead of making drake drop the strap to debut a strap cosmetically i am not sure about just just yet.
plus, the fact, that last week...
bennett should have beat lashley to go with the maria screw job of allie for the knockouts title.
as it makes sense, since maria was such a complete top level a$$hole heel to allie.

having bennett lose made no sense, after they retired all the singles titles except for the xdivision and world title.
plus, bound for glory for the world title has been transfered as a tournie to the grand champion title.

right now, there is no wiggle room or way to go with eciii or lashley having the world title.

bennett and maria should have the world title and moose should be a enforcer.
having the payoff of moose turning on bennett undermines maria and the world title and the perception of quality moving forward.
including placing bennett right back into the peon to sunny like role he will never shake after that loss to lashley.

tna is looking like it is gonna insult our intelligence again and we will be back to watching them re-ramp up again.
which, imo....they should not be trying to do.
yet since it seems like there is a balance of power taking place admin wise.

the ego's to prove a point admin wise, need to step back from the ego gamesmanship and look at the content.
from a perception of the best move for the book decision making wise.

if bennett was gonna lose the world title.
it made no sense for maria to basically finger poke of doom the ko title off of allie.
as moving forward it just insults the damn near life support perception of bennett to get over.
as part of the weak links of the kingdom outside of cole and maria, again.

usually tna makes the right choice to elevate the guy when it makes sense and last week they failed at what they usually do.

bennett should have been world tna champion.


art barr

bennett looks as weak as candido with sunny as a body donna.
losing to barry horowitz after not winning and he won't really recover.
with hbk running out the back room fukk'n sunny on a locker bench unbeknownest to candido.
as the knock on bennett, tna failed to recognize and alleviate to make bennett a draw.
when bennett should be more valued than galloway and most of the other lower level signees.
as he is a higher pedigree everything than galloway to even ey before the heel change and they were given the world title. against insurmountable odds as a heel.

i know i enjoy lash has the strap cause he is black.
yet, he should have lost to eli drake or bennett.
instead of this tease like lash is eciii's bytch...as real talk..i don't buy eciii as lashley's comp at all that tna would like to try to establish.

bennett should have campaigned politically as well.
