"Fans, this is Tony Schiavone along with the Living Legend Larry Zbyszko and Iron Mike Tenay. Tonight, in this broadcast, we're going to see what is undoubtedly the biggest match in the long 98 year history of the National Wrestling Alliance, as Jeff Jarrett puts up his World Title against Vince Russo..."
I'd be THE happiest camper.
So we can't have Nitro. May as well have it's second cousin.
Dammit I LIKE Don West! I think he adds a really good "just a normal fan" perspective to the broadcast that is missing everywhere else. The thought of Tony on the show on a regular basis makes me really not happy.
Torchslasher foiled me this time, but I shall get him next time!*maniacal laughter*

Don West has brought us such classics as:
"Wow!"
"That was great!"
"Fantastic!"
"Look at that!"
When Tenay is going off on one of his rants in the ring, you'll note NOTHING is being said from the commentary table, aside from the occassional "tell 'em partner."
I gave West a chance, I have noted no improvement.
At least with Tony, we're bound to hear something completely ridiculous.
Originally posted by TorchslasherSeriously though, how great would it be if Tony joined Russo as the evil SEX announcer! Tenay vs. Schiavonne for next week, anyone?
Holy crap, he IS the new SEX announcer!
And the funniest part of it all, two signs in the front row during the segment: "WHO CARES?" and "The Total Nonstop Action Has Totally Stopped!"
Yeah, it did end early. They usually end a few minutes before 10:00 EST, but this one seems like it ended earlier.
It also looked like the Tenay/Schiavone/Russo segment ended early. Tenay kept trying to get out something about "facts" and 1999 (maybe referencing Foley putting butts in seats?), but Russo and Tony had already left.
And am I the only one who's getting tired of that one TNA Girl that always jiggles her butt-cheeks? I mean, it gets old after seeing her do it all the time.
Damnit all to hell! This makes me SOOOOO want to be homw to order these now, cause you just know you're gonna let out a huge sigh of relief when Tony says "And in all honestly, this will be, WITH OUT A DOUBT... the BEST NWA/TNA EVER!!!!!", cause then and ONLY then, will the wrestling wars have FINALLY restarted.
Or even better, what if he starts giving away SMACKDOWN spoilers and telling the home audience to order the NWA/TNA replay instead? This would be so cool!
...exactly HOW OLD did RNRExpress look tonight? Were they looking REALLY old, or just old.

Really, really old. They looked like a Spinal Tap parody act.
Your analogy is similar to:
"They already have cars that you can drive, why not blenders?" "I can already write with my hands, why not my pancreas?" "They already have beef that I can eat, why not granite?"
Guru nailed it. Good God, they were sad. And now we know where Eddie's mullets go to die.
I don't mind Tony -- but I DO mind adding yet another character whose job it is to simply TALK and TALK and TALK and TALK and TALK and TALK and TALK and TALK and TALK and TALK and TALK.
I was joking about having Mr. Tony come back as the SEX announcer. I didn't expect you to pull the trigger on the HOTTEST ANNOUNCERS FEUD IN THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT.
But now that you are going to go this direction, I would like some residuals for this sure-to-draw feud. Or at least a plane ticket to the next show. Or at least a signed autograph from Jose Maximo. (He's the Spanish one.)
In closing, since you have such faith in me as your new booker, I suggest the following:
Fire Estrada!
Put me in the Athena/Desire/Trinity feud as the guy they all want. This will take some crazy writing and acting, but it can be done.
Next week: The Midnight Express comes out to attack R & R Express. The Fantastics come out to save. They get beat up by the Fabulous Ones. The Ding Dongs show up to even the odds. Finally, Rick Steiner and Judy Bagwell come out and beat all those poser teams up.
Buy Haku a plane ticket.
The call is from heroism; will you accept the charges?

Thanks to the exciting non-finish to RR 2K3, I have nothing to write about Spf here. Please go about your business as usual. Thank you.

I seriously wouldn't count out seeing the Midnight Express at this point. If they could get Nikita Koloff out of mothballs, these people are seriously capable of anything.
I'm personally hoping Haku gets released soon so he could come to NWA:TNA as THEMONSTERMENG! Now THAT I'll pay to see!
Can someone explain to me WHY these matches get out beforehand? Uhhh, in order to hype them up, build interest and make money? Are you saying you'd be more inclined to buy a pay per view if the card were a complete mystery?
