I think I'm going to watch Impact! tonight. (Viewing party inside! No spoilers, please!)

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yes, I'm a bit of a masochist. :naughty:

Anyway, I haven't watched TNA regularly in like 2 years...back when the Main Event Mafia was going through the Angle/Sting power struggle was when I tapered off. Since then, I saw the episode when they went head to head with Raw, and also "The Whole F'n Show" episode.

I've heard in passing about something called 'Fortune' and some guy called 'Jeff Hardy' who was apparently part of 'they', and I think Abyss and Hulk Hogan are BFF now. What else should I know going into tonight's show?

No spoilers, please.

[Londoner]

Weirdo.

[CSL]

It was alright 2 weeks ago, it was terrible bar one or two things last week, hopefully you'll get lucky.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Worst case scenario, I've enjoyed Raw immensely for a while now, so if this show turns out to be a bucket of assholes, my appreciation for Raw will grow even more.

[Londoner]

One thing that bugs me about TNA atm is the 'backstage real stuff' they do, always turns into a fight it seems and its really boring to watch now. They also do far too much of it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is there still an X-Division? Who's the champ?

[Londoner]

Don't watch it enough to know tbh!

[Xero]

Rhino.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is Rhino even allowed to be in the X-Division? I always thought it was like a cruiserweight division. Has Rhino lost weight?

[St. Jimmy]

[Xero]

lol I'm kidding I don't know.

[St. Jimmy]

TNA should be banned from AIRBRUSH

[Xero]

Oh right, the Jersey Shore douche is the X Div champion.

[Londoner]

Oh i've seen Robbie E once, had a retarded entrance.

[Anybody Thrilla]

http://www.tnawrestling.com/images/stories/roster/champs/champs1112.jpg

It's a cartoon now? Sick. Has Robbie E ever been anyone else? Also, has J-Woww made her debut in the Impact Zone yet?

What are my chances of seeing Sean Waltman?

[Londoner]

I think Waltmans left.

[St. Jimmy]

J-Woww slapped Robbie E's valet and that was about it for that; You'd have better chance of seeing Waltman in a porn or a crack house then in something wrestling related ATM.

Unless that BIG PROMOTION DOWN SOUTH gets their shit together :roll:

[erickman]

Is Rhino even allowed to be in the X-Division? I always thought it was like a cruiserweight division. Has Rhino lost weight?

samoa joe was x-champ anyone can do it

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think Waltmans left.

Waltman's the only one left? NEVERMIND.

[Londoner]

Waltman's the only one left? NEVERMIND.

Crap piss-take, look what TNA's doing to you before you've even started watching! :(:nono:

[Schlomey]

Lets all watch so we can have a chatz

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Watch the Office and Outsourced at 9 through 10 pm. Then watch It's Always Sunny and the League from 10-11. Also watch Conan and the Daily Show/Colbert to get rid of the time for Reaction.

TNA problem solved.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Outsourced was pretty lame, I thought.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Outsourced was pretty lame, I thought.

So is TNA what's your point?

[Schlomey]

Is the Office new tonight? I need to catch up!

[bigslimjj]

Watch the Office and Outsourced at 9 through 10 pm. Then watch It's Always Sunny and the League from 10-11. Also watch Conan and the Daily Show/Colbert to get rid of the time for Reaction.

TNA problem solved.all that stuff is on my dvr...i will be watching the greatest wrestling company IN THE ENTIRE state of Florida!!!

[CSL]

So is TNA what's your point?

You are just absolute dynamite aren't you.

[Jeritron]

Is the "Whole F'N Show" episode the one where RVD won the title?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is the "Whole F'N Show" episode the one where RVD won the title?

No, but he was in the main event against Abyss...or something.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The best part of that show was The Motor City Machine Guns v. Beer Money.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is the "Whole F'N Show" episode the one where RVD won the title?

No, it's the match where he actually lost the title because the beaten he took was so severe that he had to drop the title.

[Anybody Thrilla]

What? I don't remember all that. I just remember him retaining. He didn't even seem that badly beaten up. I thought the ending to that show was a bunch of old ECW guys getting jumped by a bunch of old TNA guys.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What? I don't remember all that. I just remember him retaining. He didn't even seem that badly beaten up. I thought the ending to that show was a bunch of old ECW guys getting jumped by a bunch of old TNA guys.

It was a gimmicked injury because he had done alot of shows already for the company and he was only booked for a certain number of shows.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well, this sucks already.

[Xero]

lol one minute in.

[Anybody Thrilla]

This tag match would be OK if they didn't spend all of their time on the outside doing ladder spots...and they could probably go ahead and take Ink Inc. out of there too.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I know that I don't like Shannon Moore, but I can't really tell why.

[Anybody Thrilla]

So they're involving Bischoff's son in an angle already. Of course.

[Anybody Thrilla]

"If you mess with this kid one more time, I'm gonna rip your heads off and shove them down all of your throats!" - Matt Morgan

.....what? Is that even possible?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Mickie James looking good. Funny that they're still calling her that.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Jeff Hardy and Matt Morgan are headlining ANOTHER PPV? Oh god.

Now Mickie James' band is performing her new theme song. Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk...

[Anybody Thrilla]

OK, Eric Young is pretty funny.

[Anybody Thrilla]

OH SHIT SON! IT'S TARA!

[Anybody Thrilla]

....was that a titty?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Whoever said that Matt Morgan sucks balls was pretty spot on, turns out.

[SaskatchewanChamp]

Good show so far

[Anybody Thrilla]

Earl Hebner looks super old these days.

Kazarian is another guy I can't figure out why I don't like. He needs more to his name, I think. Not just Frankie, either.

[SaskatchewanChamp]

Good match

[Anybody Thrilla]

Something felt wrong about that match. Actually, I think it's just TNA matches in general. They have cool spots, but they aren't really telling a story. They're just doing the spots.

I feel like I'm being hard on TNA, but whatever. It's my right as a viewer.

[Anybody Thrilla]

WAAAAAAAAY too much Matt Morgan on this show so far. It feels like there will be more, too.

Also....a casket match? Really?

[Anybody Thrilla]

If Bubba's been a bully and a coward the whole time they've been together, why would Devon roll with him for 15 years?

[SaskatchewanChamp]

Devon is MJ lol

[SaskatchewanChamp]

I would love to be in the middle of that 3 way :yes:

[Anybody Thrilla]

That was a pretty awful segment. Also, I'm pretty sure Devon copped a feel on So Cal Val.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Shitty women's match, but that was to be expected.

Are ALL of their backstage segments shot in espionage mode? I see what they're TRYING to do, but it's coming off pretty lame. People know wrestling is fake. You don't have to pretend TOO hard that it's not.

[SaskatchewanChamp]

I seen nothing wrong with the Devon/Bubba segment. I thought it was entertaining. However, the build is all fucked up. They were doing this befroe the ECW trash came in, and then all of a sudden bang they make up. Now that the trash is gone, they are back to it. Doesn't make sense. but im cool with it

[SaskatchewanChamp]

Yes, all of their segments are shot like that.

[Anybody Thrilla]

KATIE LEA!!!!!!!!!!!!! :heart::heart::heart:

[Anybody Thrilla]

I seen nothing wrong with the Devon/Bubba segment. I thought it was entertaining. However, the build is all fucked up. They were doing this befroe the ECW trash came in, and then all of a sudden bang they make up. Now that the trash is gone, they are back to it. Doesn't make sense. but im cool with it

It's boring and trite.

"YOU WERE ALWAYS A COWARD AND NOBODY LIKED YOU FOR FIFTEEN YEARS!!!!!"

Really? Is that why he stuck by him all that time? I don't know how they broke up, but that back and forth was basically out of a booking by numbers book. They didn't even flesh anything out. Lame.

Also, none of them should have been talking about being washed up. Delusional fucks.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Great. More Matt Morgan. :|

[SaskatchewanChamp]

What's wrong with Matt Mogan? IMO he is the best big man in Pro Wrestling.

[Anybody Thrilla]

This is like the fourth time he's been on this episode alone.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I thought that was Hardcore Holly coming out... not gonna lie.

[SaskatchewanChamp]

MRRRRR ANDERSONN!!!!

[Anybody Thrilla]

I thought that was Hardcore Holly coming out... not gonna lie.

That would have been slightly less shocking, I think.

[thedamndest]

Just turned this on. Have no idea what is happening but I'll bet Anderson hits Morgan.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did Anderson actually say "this is a shoot"? That's pretty hip.

[SaskatchewanChamp]

Anderson is going to fuck him this sunday. Mark my words.

[SaskatchewanChamp]

Anderson is the best Mic worker in the business, bar none.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Anderson is the best Mic worker in the business, bar none.

You seem like a nice guy or whatever, but I fear you may have a learning disability.

[thedamndest]

Bob Holly v. Al Snow from St. Valentine's Massacre is what this is.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I like Anderson's style but it makes it sound like he has a stutter.

Also that was a classic pre-heel turn promo there.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Anderson took way too long to get to the point. His delivery was natural, but it sounded almost...too natural, I guess. It was like a promo you would cut if you were sitting on the toilet and all of a sudden, Matt Morgan, a camera crew, and 400 rabid fans kicked the door down without warning.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Fist-pump showdown...now I'm interested.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cookie....like a hot Snookie....brilliant, TNA.

[thedamndest]

Jesus, they stole the Zach Ryder gimmick? How rough are things in creative to steal the Zach Ryder gimmick?

[RGWhat316]

Well Becky Bayless is on my tv, so im happy.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Double fist pump, sick!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Does Lethal not realize that Cookie is fucking hot?

[Anybody Thrilla]

I did a Jagerbomb with Abyss and Shark Boy once. They were pretty cool.

[Anybody Thrilla]

What the fuck is this Jeff Jarrett MMA business? We all know he's Jeff fucking Jarrett.

[blake639raw]

What the fuck is this Jeff Jarrett MMA business? We all know he's Jeff fucking Jarrett. I think that's the whole point. He's Jeff Jarrett. He's not really an MMA expert. He's a heel, he's supposed to be pretentious.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'll see what he does with it in this match, I guess.

Also, why is Pope beefing so hard with Samoa Joe and he's about to be in a CASKET match with Abyss? I think his anger is misguided.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Call me old-fashioned, but maybe Jeff Hardy (the champ) should have at least been on the last show before the PPV where he's in the main event.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think that's the whole point. He's Jeff Jarrett. He's not really an MMA expert. He's a heel, he's supposed to be pretentious.

OK, I'm seeing it now. I thought they were trying to sell him as a legit threat, but that was when I only heard HIM talking about it. Not terrible.

[RGWhat316]

Pope not pimpin to well right now.

[SaskatchewanChamp]

Jarrett no sold the submission break by Joe :lol:

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hmmm, lack of Machine Guns on this show.

They were in the first match in a four-team clusterfuck that advanced just about nothing besides Ink Inc. and Beer Money in a number one contender's match. It was pretty stupid considering the other two teams were the champions and apparently the CURRENT number one contenders.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

So Jarrett pretending to know MMA submissions is probably more dangerous than if he actually knew them. He's gonna slip or hook it wrong and fuck someones arm or knee up.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Good ploy to get ratings for Reaction.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why is Joe wearing a shirt? Don't tell me he's just now become ashamed of his physique.

[RGWhat316]

They were in the first match in a four-team clusterfuck that advanced just about nothing besides Ink Inc. and Beer Money in a number one contender's match. It was pretty stupid considering the other two teams were the champions and apparently the CURRENT number one contenders.

Yeah I realized I missed that part. Missed the first few min of the show.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Why is Joe wearing a shirt? Don't tell me he's just now become ashamed of his physique.

Cause lately he's had more of a reason to be ashamed of his physique?

[thedamndest]

Is the ankle lock the go-to MMA hold?

[Anybody Thrilla]

This show has made me feel very uncomfortable from beginning to end.

[RGWhat316]

Good ploy to get ratings for Reaction.

They actually have been doing this quite a bit lately. Say they will stick with the main event, then go right to ReAction.

[thedamndest]

Jeff Hardy = Anti-Christ

[thedamndest]

This concludes my yearly TNA quota.

[Savio]

TNA is stupid Abyss nearly kills RVD and makes him lose the title, then they have a 1 off match. He runs out to talk to Jeff hardy against turning heel. Jeff beats him up after winning title. Jeff goes on to defend his belt against Matt Morgan while RVD faces Rhyno.

[Savio]

"The Rookie Ref" Screws Matt Morgan out of the title. Next week Matt Morgan tries to be his friend and put all his trust in him.

[Droford]

all that stuff is on my dvr...i will be watching the greatest wrestling company IN THE ENTIRE state of Florida!!!

At this point I bet FCW gives TNA a run for their money on that one.

[Anybody Thrilla]

At this point, I can say with full confidence that I have no interest in TNA whatsoever.

[Droford]

and I thought for sure this episode of Impact would turn you into a lifelong* TNA Fan.

*for the life of TNA which is approximately 6 more months at their given rate

[Razzamajazz]

this is the best thing i've seen from TNA in quite a while

[Anybody Thrilla]

I would like to deposit copious amounts of semen into Velvet Sky, but she wasn't even on this fucking episode. :mad:

[Tommy Gunn]

I too watched TNA this week, the only other times were Angle's first Impact, the January episode where the old man order took over, and the PPV where AJ joined Flair and screwed Angle.

As much as I want to enjoy some of the talent they have, TNA is a 2 hour advertisement for why you should watch WWE instead.
