So much build for the mystery guy, I'm going to give TNA my attention tonight.

[Heisenberg]

Not much has been going on if you are just joining in with me, Taz is outside the arena threatening security to let him in, typical Taz, Aries and Roode exchange words and Roode v.s. Hernandez is in progress.

The IT factor with a 7 point pinfall victory over Big Mex in the BFG series

[Heisenberg]

ODB and Eric Young in the Impact Zone, so is Joseph Park

Eric Young is the shit

Manik and Sabin talking to each other and stuff.

Some big ass limo just pulled up. I knew I was going to be posting here alone for a bit, probably going to choke slam myself soon

Got some guests up in here, how the hell are y'all tonight? I know you can't respond, just nod your head in approval

[DaveBrawl]

The white hummer returns...in limo form.

[DaveBrawl]

Maybe it's the Travis Tritt fan in me, but I really love that Sting tassle jacket they use in the BFG commercial.

[DaveBrawl]

Also this "Manic" thing is killing me. I loved Suicide, all 40 previous incarnations of him, but this unmasking of him then renaming of him is just sad.

[Heisenberg]

Jay Bradley and his boomstick are on my television, that motherfucker.

He's got a poopy attitude and new mohawk and Joseph Park is his opponent, EY is in the ring in support of Park so it is not a terrible time to tune in!

[DaveBrawl]

Glad to see EY back on my tv.

[DaveBrawl]

Question for anyone that has been watching over the last few weeks, why is Tazz not doing commentary?

[Heisenberg]

lol EY looked like he was begging to be tagged in

[Heisenberg]

Tazz had contract expiration and renewal, he is currently trying to enter the arena for some reason.

[VSG]

Just watch the last 5 min if you are interested in the debut. I will just come in here tomorrow to see who it was.

[DaveBrawl]

No Boomstick this week.

[Heisenberg]

I think Kaz and Daniels were both behind the Suicide character at the initial debut of said gimmick

[DaveBrawl]

Just watch the last 5 min if you are interested in the debut. I will just come in here tomorrow to see who it was.
Aries vs AJ should be good to watch too.

[DaveBrawl]

I think Kaz and Daniels were both behind the Suicide character at the initial debut of said gimmick
Yeah they were, probably a big reason I got into the matches aside from the goofy finisher. But the whole character had potential as I thought about it.

Had a whole Noid post/idea for it, but no desire to type it all out. The problem with it was it would be kind of hard to say your world's champions name was Suicide. Just opens itself up to so many jokes.


Of course Manic is no better for that, not that he's going to get to that level.

[DaveBrawl]

They don't even do the zipline entrance anymore?

That sucks.

[Heisenberg]

I miss Jay Lethal in TNA, dude was entertaining and great in the ring. I know he is in ROH, but I have never watched any of ROH, and don't know if I will commit to another organization right now

[DaveBrawl]

I'll have to say this boy that does Manik now has some great matches, despite my dislike for character direction they definitely got someone that can go in ring.

[DaveBrawl]

I miss Jay Lethal in TNA, dude was entertaining and great in the ring. I know he is in ROH, but I have never watched any of ROH, and don't know if I will commit to another organization right now
I think the last ROH show I saw had Hero and possibly Claudio on it...so it has been a while.

[Heisenberg]

If the limo is outside, why doesn't someone from a heel stable go and trash it? I guess those stables are not nWo as fuck

[DaveBrawl]

They would if D'Lo was still in charge.

[Heisenberg]

Bully Ray looks like Evil Larry the Cable Guy tonight

[Heisenberg]

Laptop is August 1? Vintage Tazz

[DaveBrawl]

Somehow Ashton Kutcher is making me hate Apple even more than before.

[DaveBrawl]

Are we supposed to be able to hear what he was saying in that video?

[Innovator]

It is a crime that Christopher Daniels had never been tna champion

[Heisenberg]

Kaz and Daniels with an effective backstage segment. Kudos


Kaz has come a long way from his initial promo skills

[Innovator]

Ahahahaha the camera completely missed Gail's entrance

[DaveBrawl]

It is a crime that Christopher Daniels had never been tna champion
Curry Man could have taken Roode's spot as longest reigning champion.

[Heisenberg]

Damn straight Curry Man 4 Life

[Mr Burns]

[DaveBrawl]

Bully Ray clones at ringside.

[DaveBrawl]

AJ has got to be hot running around in August with that jacket on.

[Heisenberg]

yeah man, it was 105 down here in Texas today, dry heat

[Emperor Smeat]

Only watched maybe a couple of partial Impact episodes since the move to 9pm but :lol: at AJ Styles appearance.

Is he like an emo type character now or just for looks?

[Heisenberg]

Yeah, AJ is dark and stuff now, and hungry for money, so I don't know what he'll do. That crazy sum bitch

[Innovator]

What more do you need than a world champion who is hot, spicy, and tastes great

[Heisenberg]

http://4thletter.net/wp-content/uploads//10currydance.gif

[DaveBrawl]

That is how every episode of Impact should start.

Raw too.

[Innovator]

Dixie, you should probably get off twitter

[Heisenberg]

I'll forever cherish getting to see Curry Man live, along with Shark Boy.

Sounds too good to be true if Shark Boy was the mystery, but I know it's not him...fuck it

[DaveBrawl]

That could lead into my dream Manik vs. Sin Cara match.

[DaveBrawl]

I don't dream high.

[Heisenberg]

I complimented Sin Cara in the latest podcast, I credited him for being entertaining in a backstage segment where he sifts through trash.

[DaveBrawl]

Rep for you.

[Heisenberg]

I have no idea what they are talking about with their Twittah push, I could go on there, but I'm currently into this match up of AJ vs AA

[DaveBrawl]

Some good matches tonight.

[DaveBrawl]

Aries and Punk look like brothers with their current facial hair styles.

[Innovator]

Tenay and borash are annoying me with their lack of excitement for some of these spots, should have been at a10 for the brainbuster kickout

[Heisenberg]

Yeah, I kind of miss Tazz on commentary

[DaveBrawl]

That was a 10 for Mike Tenay. It was also a 1, and everything in between.

[Heisenberg]

Tito Ortiz is August 1

[DaveBrawl]

Well that's kind of a disappointment.

[Heisenberg]

everyone is confused lmao

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Awful. Just awful. The crowd could not have cared less.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

So it really is Ortiz due to the co-promotion stuff.

:lol: at everyone's reaction though.

[Hanso Amore]

Lol Tito.

A shitty wrestling company building around old mma fighters

[Heisenberg]

yeah, feel like I have a load of jizz ready to unload into the world at the thought of Shark Boy being the reveal....and now it has to stay in my bady(John Mayer says bady instead of body)

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>That ending just reminded me why TNA will never be taken seriously.</font>

[Heisenberg]

Yeah, I don't know what to say about this, definitely can't really get behind this

[Heisenberg]

Special Guest Ref Chuck Liddell would be nice, but I think he is with UFC corporate wise

[Dark One]

I think every single one of my jokes in 100,001 replies with the high five gif would have been a better reality than this. Even Sparky Plugg.

[DaveBrawl]

Heisenberg this is the most successful Impact thread we have had in a long time and I'm gonna chalk that up to your awesomeness. This was a success brother.

[Dark One]

Feel like this thread should really get capped off with this.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Tito Ortiz...shit

There goes the company.

[Innovator]

I hope it was worth firing Jesse Sorenson to cover tito's appearance fee for a month.

[Emperor Smeat]

http://i.imgur.com/KwT2yX0.gif

Sums up the audience reaction to Tito.

[Lock Jaw]

I would have been more impressed if it was Ricky Ortiz w/ rally towel

[Dark One]

Guys...

I think we're ignoring Tito Ortiz's long storied history as a referee in TNA. That's what he's here to do. Right? There's no way they could make him wrestle in a main event.

Right?

Guys?

[Tom Guycott]

So, you're saying it's not Bob Holly?

I would have been more impressed if it was Ricky Ortiz w/ rally towel

There's still hope! They could try to kayfabe brother'em. I mean, if it worked for Amazing Red and Crimson, and Abyss can pretend to be his own brother, why not this?!?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm still scratching my head over this. I might be slightly biased on account of not giving a fuck about MMA, but holy shit that was underwhelming.</font>

two pages. i'll consider it a success. lackluster reveal, but AJ vs AA was awesome

[owenbrown]

So, when is the McMahon empire going to buy out TNA before it gets completely flushed down the shitter?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Before?

[Dark One]

So, when is the McMahon empire going to buy out TNA before it gets completely flushed down the shitter?

According to this image, two more years.

OMG Tito Otiz WTF thought he was dead LOL

[Ultra Mantis]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cRAdWcfpM_Y?" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

So so bad. Aside from the dead silence and the two top factions looking hysterically scared the production is absolutely horrible. Actually legit made me laugh when they kept cutting to split second shots. Anderson looking completely unimpressed, Ortiz with arms crossed, Devon bursting into tears, Ortiz with his arms crossed, Samoa Joe shitting his pants, Ortiz with his arms crossed.

[Innovator]

They really couldn't have thrown up a graphic on the TNAtron saying TITO ORTIZ?

[Curd]

Lots of those reactions look legit. I'm guessing management didn't tell talents who they were signing, hence the D-Von tears.

[Ultra Mantis]

Kurt Angle apparently went out and got a DUI as a result of the August1Warning reveal.

[ron the dial]

jesus that was a terrible reveal. not a bad show overall, but what a shit ending.

[Emperor Smeat]

The Thursday, August 1st edition of TNA Impact Wrestling on Spike TV scored a final cable rating of 1.03, down from last week’s 1.05, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Despite the heavy socal media promotion centered around the “#August1Warning” mystery-man, Impact Wrestling declined five percent in overall viewership.

Impact Wrestling this past Friday averaged 1.246 million viewers, down from the 1.314 million viewers the show averaged last week.
