[KingofOldSchool]

You forgot to mention that Booker T turned heel after his match by giving Rhino and Christian chairshots.

[Xero]

LOL at the Terror Dome lasting ten minutes...

At least debuting WWE gimmick matches get at least 20...

[The One]

HEY! I'm actually very happy to hear LAX won the belts. :)

A big "whatever" for attempted Kaz main event push #5 or 6 by now...

Oh and who had May 2008 in the Angle death pool? You're odds are looking better.

[The Optimist]

So, all the Egotistical 8 teams lost. And Sting went out first. Hilarious.

[Mr. JL]

Kurt Angle must be pretty FUCKED UP if he missed a Main Event Match.

[Mr. JL]

Usually you hear of that guy working under any injury conditions and whatever, so...

[Mr. JL]

Kurt Angle must be pretty FUCKED UP if he missed a Main Event PPV Match.

[Ruien]

Putting Kaz in for Kurt Freaking Angle? Just whow, I would have been pissed. Could of at least gave a 1 on 1 match with Joe and Stiener, or put someone like Christian in there. But Kaz?!?!?!

Shoot, Jeff Jarret coming out for 1 match would of been a better choice.

[The Optimist]

It's called a push.

[Skippord]

Roxxi Laveaux was hot

fuck you whoever booked that match

[Innovator]

Kaz was great in the main and all...but DAMMIT THAT WAS CURRY MAN'S TIME

[Ruien]

It's called a push.

The time to give someone a random push for their 10th time (The 9 others being failures) is not on the main event match at a ppv.

[The Mackem]

Don't get the opening to this thread.

[The Optimist]

They've been pushing him for months and he just won the Terror Dome. They did something similar for Rhyno when Kevin Nash couldn't compete a few years ago.

[Bad Company]

Head Kurt herniated some discs and broke 2 vertibrae

[Mr. Nerfect]

Roxxi Laveaux was hot

fuck you whoever booked that match

The fans chanted "Fire Russo!" during this. You're not the only one outraged.

[Azriel]

The whole head shaving thing was retarded.

[Londoner]

hahahahhahahahaha
:D:D:D

:lol::lol::lol:

Glad to hear it. What a stupid decision to put kaz in palce of angle, what so now they're saying kaz is on the same level as angle?:roll:

[The Optimist]

I doubt that. It's probably like Angle got injured at the last second or something. That could have happened maybe . . .

[KingofOldSchool]

If anyone should have been in Angle's place, it was Jay Lethal. I mean hell Lethal pinned Angle clean months ago and he single handedly saved the X-Division.

[Hanso Amore]

I think they wanted to make it seem like they had to do something to earn their way into the main event, but they did it horribly. I guess they know Steiner cant work a full match alone.

Im just glad they didnt throw LAX into the match and have Joe take the tag titles.

[Impact!]

The report I read made it sound pretty good.

My thoughts on it though (keep in mind I didn't watch it):

-Roxxi Levoux getting her head shaved = Boohoo, she wasn't that attractive anyway. Knowing TNA she'll come out on iMPACT! wearing a hat made of snakes or some shit...because she's the voodoo queen

- Sting & Storm losing 1st round actually seems pretty good. Establishes a fued fairly well, and puts over the Dudley Boyz. Which is good since if this was WWE the established tag team would certainly get defeated in the first round, and the finals would be four singles competitors...

- Cage & Rhino and Booker/Roode seems abit odd to me. If they want to join Roode & Book together they probably should have had them win this match =\

- LAX winning the tournament = Salinas on my tv. Which therefore ='s win.

- It seems like they *might* be attempting to push Styles back into his Main Event capabilities (Especially considering they had Styles be Angle's replacment against Joe in Korea).

- Kaz winning the Terradome thing and ME'ing isn't terrible...BUT Jay Lethal should have won it imo. I really wish either Sabin, Shelley, or Curry Man would have won it though...

- Kim winning the Number 1 contendership = meh, hurry up and have her win the title so we can have some new chick fueds

- Oh and I'm so freakin glad they didn't give the title to Steiner as a major shock value thing...Though I wish they would have done something a little more meaningful with the title shot. (Personally I would have loved if they held off of Steiner announcing his title shot, but still had Petey win the X Title. Then have Lethal go after Petey and Steiner and have him eventually win the title shot off him)

[Fox]

It reminds me of WCW booking.

To anyone who watched, is it true there was a "FIRE RUSSO" chant during the women's head shaving segment?

[The Mackem]

Noid said so.

[owenbrown]

TNA had a PPV last night?

[BigDaddyCool]

why would TNA book a ppv on mother's day? Did they want it to fail?

[owenbrown]

why would TNA book a ppv on mother's day? Did they want it to fail?

Cause apparently Russo thinks moms love wrasslin' too. :shifty:

[BigDaddyCool]

It is a well known fact that the majority of TNA's "fans" live in either their mother's basement or their mother's attic. Which ever the case maybe, on Mother's day, they are force to take a bath and comb their hair and spend the day with their mom.

[Gertner]

tna ppv wasn't too bad. Terrordome should have been longer. Some nice spots there. Kaz doing the reverse flux capacitor of the top rope was pretty cool, as was Curry Man 's spice rack off the top rope.

[James Steele]

2 questions:

Is TNA finally giving James Storm the push toward the main event?

and

What the hell happened to Chris Harris?

[KingofOldSchool]

1. They will give him a taste of the main event light and then close the door on him and say "Sorry bout your damn luck."

2. He's in WWE doing nothing.

Damn it. WWE picked the wrong one. I remember when they gave Wildcat a main event push (I want to say back when Impact was on FSN) and it flopped like Soma Joe's tits.

[The Mackem]

He had one before that when Jarrett was taking over TNA back when it was on weekly PPV's.

[6to1]

The fans chanted "Fire Russo!" during this. You're not the only one outraged.

they must not been as mad they used to chant fu@k you russo. i knew she would be the one to get her head shaved she probly came up with the idea atleast gives her a story.

[Dave Youell]

They should have had AJ as the surprise 3rd guy for that match AND go over IMO

They are heading towards an Angle/AJ match anyway, this could have been the catalyst to the face turn
