Anybody know why they changed Finn Balor into a faggot instead the Demon at Mania?

Vince doesn't like anything that looks "too indy." (Or at least, not originally developed in-house).

Same happened to El Generico becoming Sami Zayne.

Which is retarded since the whole demon character is a NXT invention. He only did the paint brush a handful of times in Japan and it had no backstory or anything since he liked dressing up in random costumes on the Indies. The demon is an original character they made for him.

Yet again, the booking of mania with all these stupid results shows how senile Vince is.

What's that weird wrestling org run by a woman? I remember seeing episodes of it late at night but they were hour-long recaps catching us up on a gay-as-fuck storyline about her trying to sell the company because Hulk Hogan invaded it or something. I mean, it was soap opera in tights shit. Serious second-hand embarrassment.

That was TNA. The company got bought by Anthem Sports and she is gone from the company now. They have Don Callis (AKA Cyrus in ECW) and Scott D'More running out now.

Dixie was a fucking money mark. So many old wrestlers who had no business being employed got a nice paycheck and bled her dad's money dry. When you hire Brian fucking Knobs in what, 2010? You are beyond fucked, along with every other WWE reject they immediately gave a job to rather than push their own homegrown talent who are thriving now in WWE.

The Outsiders were TNA tag champs in 2010 and they lost the belts without being beat.

Isn't TNA the stuff with the Hardy Boys during their meltdown two years or so ago? I still haven't decided if that was hilarious, genius or the biggest pile of shit I've ever seen.

Bit of both. It was sad that one of the most over tag teams in WWE had turned into bloated junkies. Hilarious that once they got clean they got to basically do what they liked which meant fucking about with weird gimmicks until the Broken Hardy stuff happened.
