[road doggy dogg]

lol

[Anybody Thrilla]

Not a single one of those feuds are enticing. Aries/King and the ladder match might be OK.

[Seth82]

I'm likely only gonna watch Marshall & Ross Von Erich's match.

I wanna hear the pop they and their dad Kevin get in Texas. The Von Erich's are still very popular and remembered by the Texas fans.

[Anybody Thrilla]

You just said you're only going to watch the Bro-mans match.

[Lock Jaw]

Is Abyss a face now? Haven't watched TNA in several weeks again, so I fully expect that there had to have been at least one face/heel turn during that time.

[#1-norm-fan]

Gunner just came out on top in a pretty great feud with James Storm where he looked like a million bucks and got a shitload of momentum.

Is there an angle I missed that is keeping him off this card or is this an example of lolTNA?

[Lock Jaw]

Had no idea Crazy Steve was in TNA now... edited a "pilot" once for some rassling company and there was a Crazy Steve segment.

[Lock Jaw]

Last time I watched TNA, Gunner was having some sort of segments in a mental hospital where Samuel Shaw was locked up, telling him that he wants to help him.

From what I recall it's an example of loltna. . He is in an angle now where he keeps visiting sam shaw in his padded room cut one of his war buddies was crazy.. or some shit like that..Also found it funny that jbl talked about mood rings on raw. And taz was talking about them this week on impact.. lol.. I still can't give up on tna because they put on a great house show, and include their fans.. so there is a glimmer of hope to me..

i want to know what abyss did with the tv belt did he eat it like he did with hogans hof ring

[Shisen Kopf]

It's a record lol TNA crowd tonite

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

PPV isnt even listed on vipbox.tv hahahahaha

[road doggy dogg]

people use streaming sites other than FirstRow still?

[slik]

guess I will watch and give TNA like their 50th chance...

hope it's a good show...

[Heisenberg]

I didn't want to drive up to see this god awful piss. The Von Erichs are almost forgotten here by what would be considered by TNARick,,, as Meltzer Sheep.

I have been studying up on the history before I got into wrestling and was alive and bring up names like Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen, the Funks, Von Erichs and mafuckas just stare at me. Some ppl down here don't even appreciate Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Alot of wrestlers in a ladder match eh? Interesting.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Looks like its Party Time some of the time with Crazy Steve.

[slik]

who is the guy in the US trunks?

Menagerie is interesting...TNA version of Hornswoggle

[slik]

Manic looking like a young La Parka

[slik]

Japanese wrestler kind of cute

[slik]

Wait, this is in Dallas

...please be at the Sportatorium...

[Heisenberg]

lol how many ppl are in attendance?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wait, this is in Dallas

...please be at the Sportatorium...

They tore that down years ago bro.

[Savio]

I'd rather watch the NBA

[slik]

Very dangerous spot from man in USA trunks

I think he is Davey Richards?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

lol how many ppl are in attendance?

Only seen a bit of the crowd so far. No angles from the other side of the ring.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Shitty finish for a ladder match.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Failaversary.

[slik]

lol how many ppl are in attendance?

Hard to tell because TNA tapes off things off camera

Guessing several thousand

[slik]

Bobby Lashley lolololololol

[slik]

give Lashley the mic...please

[slik]

TonyRomoHeat

[slik]

Lashley looking very (not) intense

MVP good on the mic

[Hanso Amore]

Hard to tell because TNA tapes off things off camera

Guessing several thousand

probably 1500 tops

[slik]

Set is good

[slik]

Positive I'm going to give TNA:

I don't have to listen to Jerry Lawler

[slik]

Samoa Joe clearly a better wrestler than Lashley

[slik]

so naturally he defeats Joe clean

[slik]

Rockstar Joker Spud outfit

[Hanso Amore]

Ive said it before, TNA actually has come a LONG way in regards to production, set design, etc. Its great quality.

The problem is the revolving door of talent, and lack of creative direction.

[slik]

Negative I will give TNA:

I have to listen to Dixie Carter

[slik]

Willow the Wisp is stupid

[slik]

Abyss with his most Kane-like mask yet

[slik]

Is this a no dq match?

No clue who Bram is but match is all about him and Abyss fighting now

[slik]

Glad Magnus won

[slik]

Seriously, Abyss's outfit has got to go

He looks like Kane got fat and started wearing a basketball jersey to the ring

just very terrible

[slik]

HOF announcement coming up...

[slik]

Team 3D

...

...

...

[slik]

kind of lame

was hoping it would be AJ Styles tbh

[slik]

Could be worse I suppose

Just not that excited about HOF Team 3D

[slik]

I like EC3

WWE really dropped the ball on Derrick Bateman

[slik]

Kenny King vs Austin Aries is next.

Looking at the card on paper this is the only match I have set expectations for.

[slik]

Feel like it should be good

[slik]

Austin Aries flies into barricade

Turns out barricade isn't secure

Steel barricade goes into the lap of an older lady....um...secure the barricade TNA...

[slik]

Top of the barricade looks like it hit her smack in the knees

smh

[slik]

Hope she is ok.

[KIRA]

Good lord I'M watching a TNA PPV I must be bored.

[slik]

Fans spend their hard earned $ to attend events not to be injured at them...

[slik]

Aries wins in the best match so far tonight

Good match

[KIRA]

At least the crowd is into it I suppose.

[owenbrown]

So what are the odds that Aries aligns with MVP & co. tonight?

[slik]

Aries went to check on her post match, very cool of him.

[KIRA]

lol Lashley

[KIRA]

yea that was nice

[slik]

Von Erichs

[slik]

Venanation shirt on the Von Erich with dark hair....I wonder what that means...

[slik]

I like the BroMans

[slik]

Zema Ion is particularly good

[loopydate]

Austin Aries flies into barricade

Turns out barricade isn't secure

Steel barricade goes into the lap of an older lady....um...secure the barricade TNA...

Stunt granny.

[KIRA]

uhh wheres uhh Robbie

[Ruien]

Will the WWE put the Dudley's in their HoF if they are also in the TNA one?

[slik]

Naturally the smart finish to a match debuting a new tag team is a DQ

lolololol

[slik]

Von Erichs were decent in the ring, much better than Lacey

[slik]

Will the WWE put the Dudley's in their HoF if they are also in the TNA one?

Yes

[KIRA]

you couldn't have a clean finish could you TNA?

[KIRA]

Will somebody please tell me whats going on with Angelina's face

[owenbrown]

gee I think I know the finish to the Knockouts title match :roll:

[KIRA]

Its straddling the uncanny valley

[slik]

The Beautiful People have one of TNA's better ring entrance themes

[owenbrown]

did Velvet just get a new tatt recently?

[slik]

Will somebody please tell me whats going on with Angelina's face

She's all kinds of Nip/Tuck up in there

[erickman]

Will the WWE put the Dudley's in their HoF if they are also in the TNA one?

yeah after they put the midnight express in

[slik]

gee I think I know the finish to the Knockouts title match :roll:

You need to BOlieve in the BOooking

[slik]

omg, just thought about how much I would mark if BO Dallas highjacked the event and told TNA that they were number 2 right now, but they could be number 1 really, really soon....all they have to do is BOlieve.

[slik]

Velvet Sky EJECTED from ringside

Earl Hebner has HAD ENOUGH

[KIRA]

She's all kinds of Nip/Tuck up in there

The team name beautiful people is somewhat misleading.

[FourFifty]

NXT can host a pie eating contest and get more attention than TNA's PPVs.

[owenbrown]

what is this horseshit?!

[KIRA]

All refs have glass bones

[slik]

Angelina wins with a handful of tights

Gail Kim mortified her bum exposed to the world

[owenbrown]

yeah Vince Russo is not booking TNA.... right :roll:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>TNA is fucking atrocious. I'm amazed they're still in business.</font>

[KIRA]

what is this horseshit?!
Your reaction suggests you actually had high expectations

[slik]

Why does Bubba have a Boston accent all of a sudden?

[KIRA]

NXT can host a pie eating contest and get more attention than TNA's PPVs.
on that note :heart::heart::heart:NXT

[slik]

NXT can host a pie eating contest and get more attention than TNA's PPVs.

At least the pie eating contest would be booked well...

[slik]

Boston Bubba ready to fuck the shit outta Derrick Bateman live on ppv

[slik]

Where are the podcast nuts who actually like TNA

seems like the only people watching this ppv are the ones who are bored and don't care about TNA

I shouldn't speak for everybody probably, just assuming everyone else feels the same way I do...

[KIRA]

I want to care but its just so bad great wrestling horrible horrible overall execution booking wise.

[slik]

Cheese Grater...ouch

[slik]

shards of glass

ugh

[slik]

No table spots with Dixie please

[KIRA]

Ok logic a cheese gratter, glass and no blood.

ok

[slik]

Violence against women is not cool Bully Ray

[owenbrown]

Dixie is a cunt

[slik]

Glad EC3 won

disappointed tna went to garbage tactics like shards of glass and a cheesegrater, like some backyard trampoline fed

[slik]

Dixie is a cunt

so that makes violent threats of "I'm going to kill you bitch" ok then Owen?

:nono:

[Hanso Amore]

Those were ecw spits

[slik]

my big problems with the show so far:

*Fan in attendance nearly injured because of their negligence to secure the ring barricade

*Very unsafe spot to end the opening match with a man's neck nearly caught in a ladder rung

*Cheese Graters/Glass shards used in the last match

TNA apparently does not care about the safety of their fans or employees.

[KIRA]

what happened with the ladder?

[slik]

It's better than the last TNA ppv I watched though

[slik]

what happened with the ladder?

Davey Edwards took a powerbomb off the ladder onto another ladder vertically attached to it with the ropes and his head landed in between ladder rungs.

[KIRA]

ouch

[slik]

Beer to the eyes

[slik]

Not a fan of Mr Anderson, glad this match was short

[Volare]

So what the fuck was Storm trying to accomplish?

[owenbrown]

who booked this shit?

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol please tell me you are all streaming this shit and didn't pay for this crap

[slik]

Main-Event time

Aries vs Lashley vs Young

[slik]

stream baby stream

[KIRA]

Lol please tell me you are all streaming this shit and didn't pay for this crap

You're goddamn right its a stream I'm not gonna pay for this.

[slik]

Feel like Eric Young storyline is 100% a rip-off of Daniel Bryan

[owenbrown]

there is gonna be a shitty finish isn't there?

[slik]

Positive I will give TNA:

more focus on this ppv on homegrown talent

Negative I will give TNA:

booking

[slik]

Austin Aries, who should win this match (not will, but should)

selling like a boss

[slik]

I strongly dislike pinfalls in a cage match

[slik]

Good match so far

[slik]

Ending felt lackluster but good main-event match otherwise

[slik]

Overall, better than the last tna ppv I watched. They focused more on homegrown talent and while still having some overbooked finishes, they calmed down a bit on the overbooking.

TNA does need to keep working on their booking, they have good in-ring talent they just utilize most of it very poorly.

[slik]

They also need to keep fans safe at the ringside area.

There is no excuse for sloppiness when it comes to safety.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I fell asleep after Samoa Joe lost. Fuck this company.

[Bad News Gertner]

This company is basically an indie fed. Just shut this nonsense down.

TNA attempted to drum up excitement for tonight's Slammiversary on social media but came up short. The promotion posted the following to their Twitter account a little before 6 PM ET:

#Slammiversary starts at 8/7c on PPV! Want to know the first match of the night? 500 RTs and we'll tell you! GO!

The tweet has since been deleted. Per PWInsider, they stalled out at in the low two hundreds and at the time of the message's deletion they had 248 retweets.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hhahahaha

[owenbrown]

This company is basically an indie fed. Just shut this nonsense down.

I would have rather watched 3 hours of ERAG matches than this, and that is saying something coming from me.

[DaveWadding]

Von Erichs were decent in the ring, much better than Lacey

Take that back. Lacey von Erich is a goddess.

[Shisen Kopf]

ERAG matches are great. Wooooooooo!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Take that back. Lacey von Erich is a goddess.
