ROH on COMET (and TNA on pop)

[Savio]

If you have Destination America you should tune in tonight -then promptly tune out when TNA starts as a rib to TNA.

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm interested to see the ratings for tonight.

[Simple Fan]

Should be a good show, have had it recorded since this weekend but didn't watch it. Hope they do well on DA.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I will be watching. I've fallen out of touch with ROH and its storylines so I'm interested in seeing this.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Hard to believe the Briscoe Brothers used to look like that.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Ooooh, Kushida. I like this.</font>

[Simple Fan]

Its the cameraman that pressed charges on Ambrose vs Kushida

[Savio]

They should have done something else besides starting their debut episode with cruiser weight action.

Run a promo package on all the story lines or something.

[Savio]

Its the cameraman that pressed charges on Ambrose vs Kushida
That should be his ring name.

[Simple Fan]

The Addiction are awesome one of my favorite tag teams

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Enjoyed that opener.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Love Kazarian and Daniels</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I turned it on the tv might not be watching but its on.

[Savio]

See this small promo from Kazarian and Daniels would have been a good way to start so people could say "oh that's Christopher Daniels I have seen him before in TNA".

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Silas Young rocking the Jake Roberts mustache</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

See this small promo from Kazarian and Daniels would have been a good way to start so people could say "oh that's Christopher Daniels I have seen him before in TNA".

After a solid opening match is good too. No problem with how they did it. Subtlety is key.

[ClockShot]

I'm watching.

Like what I see so far.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Silas Young looks way older than 35</font>

[Simple Fan]

<font color=goldenrod>Silas Young looks way older than 35</font>

Looks like a 50 year old Dean Ambrose with a mustache.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Fuck that suplex on the outside looked painful</font>

[ClockShot]

The Marc Mero TKO. Haven't seen that in a while.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah I don't mind the TKO. Always a sucker for any cutter-based move really.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'd do Veda Scott</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Oooh, nice heel work from BJ Whitmer.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Colby Corino just got completely fucked up. Moose is a badass.</font>

[Simple Fan]

Damn that was hard

[Simple Fan]

Hope we see Dijak use his finisher its bad ass if he hits it right. It like a reverse GTS kinda.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Truth Martini's podcast a few years ago was fucking hilarious.</font>

[Simple Fan]

Lethal on commentary should be good.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Gotta remember to shut off the tv Im not watching at 9. (Watching NXT)

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Good show. I'll definitely tune in again next week.</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I might catch the replay at 11 when I'm done with watching NXT. Ratings wise I've already seen it.

[Savio]

After a solid opening match is good too. No problem with how they did it. Subtlety is key.
Yeah but for a casual fan it might not hook em

[Ruien]

So how did TNA do?

[Heisenberg]

They have a new fan, I always had to watch through YouTube and stuff. Where was Maria!?!?!?!


I still have her Playboy issue in the wrapper and one copy to view

[Innovator]

So how did TNA do?

James Storm apparently murdered Mickie James

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I pretty much only watched the first segment of TNA, because EC3 is wonderful.</font>

[Droford]

Next time you might see Maria is at the PPV with Kingdom vs Bullet Club

[Ruien]

James Storm apparently murdered Mickie James

Hell ya! Now that is serious business wrestling!

[Droford]

That might be something to add to the top 20

[Heisenberg]

James Storm apparently murdered Mickie James



the writers are a big fan of a certain Netflix show I see

[Big Vic]

Half the Divas on TNA look mad old.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The show you all seem to be describing it the same one I had DVR'ed not on Destination America...which is good for me. I still don't get TNA though, which makes me sad.

[Heisenberg]

it was a few weeks behind, still was interesting as hell to watch. We didn't have it down here in the South, heyahh

[Ultra Mantis]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_r8fKdwyuKA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Mickie James there, playing the role of TNA in this dramatic re-enactment of their relationship with Destination America.

[Simple Fan]

The Jay Lethal, Jay Briscoe match should be good. Lethal has been on a tear as the TV champion and Truth Martini is really underrated as a manager. Hope Lethal comes out on top of the feud and beats Briscoe at Best in the World.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think Truth Martini is douchey, but I guess that's the point.

[Innovator]

Just wait for Dalton Castle

[Simple Fan]

Castle doesn't bother me as much as others that have a similer gimmick. He is good in the ring and TNA wanted him but he chord ROH. He does do alot of flamboyant weird stuff that just looks likes its his natural character more than others like Fandango and Adam Rose.

[Droford]

While Storm's actions are despicable and borderline criminal, we have reached out to Mickie James and have not yet gotten comment. We also reached out to security at The Nashville Star Train Station who were first on the scene after James Storm left and they were able to tell us that Mickie briefly blacked out and showed symptoms of a concussion. Mickie was tested and passed all concussion field tests. Mickie was emotionally disturbed following the events.

We will do our best to keep everyone up to date and we wish Mickie a very speedy recovery. We will be following up with Mickie James to see if she plans on filing criminal charges with Nashville PD.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Dalton Castle is a frickin' goofball. I can't believe they're trying to make him work as a face.

[Shisen Kopf]

ROH?? Never heard of it. Please merge this with the backyard fed thread

[The Grand Wizard]

I love ROH!!!! Yeah! Is Fritz Von Erich still the champ?

[Ultra Mantis]

Yeah, but his work rate has really dropped off since he died. Still keeps kicking out of all the finishers though.

[The Grand Wizard]

I remember Fritz Von Erich in ROH 2004 hitting a Canadian Destroyer on Larry the Ax Hennig on a friggen scaffold match!

[EzekielKane]

Hopefully ROH can pick up some of the talent left over in TNA

[Droford]

They have a new fan, I always had to watch through YouTube and stuff. Where was Maria!?!?!?!


I still have her Playboy issue in the wrapper and one copy to view

Maria is named in the preview so she might be on tomorrow episode

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_r8fKdwyuKA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

TNA more like House of Retards. She does kinda sorta look like Kate Mara though.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The Addiction</font> :cool:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LIGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR</font>

[Simple Fan]

Love the Addiction.

[Dark One]

Just wait for Dalton Castle

Well.

This is certainly something.

https://wrestlingrecaps.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/cat2itduyaexdfg-jpg-large.jpeg

Still not sure what I just saw.

[#1-norm-fan]

Just tuned in. Who is this dude facing Jushin Liger?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Dalton Castle</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

lol This guy seems alright.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The Bullet Club AND Maria to be involved in the main event segment? I like this.</font>

[Dark One]

Dalton Castle is a hell of a gimmick.

[Dark One]

Can someone who's actually followed RoH explain to me what the fuck this is?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Bob Evans looks fucking ancient</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

Future WWE Champion Cheeseburger.

[Dark One]

I need to know why the kid from Everybody Hates Chris was just murdered by Mr. Clean's fat uncle. Someone. Please.

[Simple Fan]

Can someone who's actually followed RoH explain to me what the fuck this is?

Brutal Bob and Cheeseburger used to be a tag team and Bob got jealous.

[#1-norm-fan]

Were they known as "Bob's Burgers"?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Steve Corino doesn't seem genuine at all as a face announcer. Would prefer if he were more of a heel guy (but not to the overbearing lengths that JBL tries to do).</font>

[Simple Fan]

Were they known as "Bob's Burgers"?

Nah, Brutal Burgers

[Simple Fan]

Main event should be good.

[#1-norm-fan]

Nah, Brutal Burgers

Meh.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Love Gallows.</font>

[Simple Fan]

What a cutter!!

[#1-norm-fan]

Who are the faces here? Thought Bullet Club were heels but Taven and Bennett seem like heels too. Also, it appears Luke Gallows is trying to rape Maria which seems heel-ish.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Bullet Club seem to have the nWo effect when they wrestle in the US. Still act heelish but everyone marks out for them.

They're definitely still heels in Japan though.</font>

[Simple Fan]

Bullet Club in America would be faces if they are heels in Japan.

[Simple Fan]

EC3 just got beeped for telling Angle he would knock his dick in the dirt.

[Simple Fan]

Glad the Pope replaced Al Snow on commentary. Al was horrible.

[Droford]

Remember when Crimson had that undefeated run?

[Simple Fan]

Yea ended by James Storm.

[Dark One]

Yea ended by James Storm.

Much like Mickie James' living streak.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Sorry about your damn luck.

[loopydate]

Glad the Pope replaced Al Snow on commentary. Al was horrible.

Was he calling everyone "_______ Baba Ganoush?"

[Simple Fan]

This should become the Destination America Wednesday Night Wrestling Thread.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Jesus...War Machine's beards put the Wyatts to shame.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol Colby Corino is ROH's Colin Delaney</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Veda Scott is a babe</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Cedric beats Moose</font> :eek:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Can't get used to Sydal with a beard.</font>

[Simple Fan]

<font color=goldenrod>Cedric beats Moose</font> :eek:

That was a shocker. Like how they did it though, hope Moose wins at Best in tje World.

[DAMN iNATOR]

<font color=goldenrod>lol Colby Corino is ROH's Colin Delaney</font>

Who's their Braden Walker?

[Simple Fan]

Ha black macheesmo

[Simple Fan]

EC3 referencing a ton of WWE superstars.

[Droford]

Even though the card seems awesome, I just can't justify almost 50 bucks for best in the world tomorrow night

[Droford]

Fell asleep after watching the Os game last night and missed the show but im Kind of surprised Lethal won.

[Simple Fan]

I'm not, expected it. Lethal has been built strong fro a while and to have him lose would've been a waste. If it was WWE they would have fucked it up and had Briscoe (Cena) win.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, Briscoe had the belt for 9 months. It's fine to make a change now. ROH reigns tend to be quite lengthy which is fine when you're doing regional TV but I think now that they're getting more visibility I think they'll need to switch the belt around a bit more often. Not all the time, mind...but I'm not sure they'll have any ridiculously long reigns like they did when they were just doing house shows and PPVs. They've had 3 champions hold the belt for over a year (Joe, Danielson, McGuinness) plus Richards and Steen came within like a month of holding it for a year.

It seems they've only had one guy hold the belt for a month only to drop it the next month (James Gibson, aka Noble) so history says that Lethal is probably gonna keep it for a while.</font>

[Simple Fan]

Yeah Briscoe and Austin Aries havee the most reigns with 2 each as well. Mostly because talent doesn't stay around ROH as long and the title has kinda been a springboard to WWE or TNA.

[Innovator]

Real happy for Lethal

[thecc]

Planning to get tickets for the philly show. I'm passed that I missed out on the njpw shows. So I'm super stoked about getting to see nakamura.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm actually thinking about getting into ROH again. They haven't done too much to grab my attention recently, but some of the title changes have me interested. They seem to be developing some heavy players (Moose, War Machine) and apparently the work of Roderick Strong has been amazing.

If TNA crumbles, I hope they get a chance to sign Kurt Angle, Bobby Lashley, Low Ki and The Hardys to add some amazing workers and star power to their roster. The Hardys vs. The Briscoes could actually convince a few people to buy a PPV.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I like that you sort of have an idea as to where ROH is heading just be reading the results. Things build naturally. It's sort of like NXT.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I do wish they'd give a women's division a proper go.

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm willing to give ROH a chance based solely on this Dalton Castle character.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Dalton Castle does seem amazing.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Silas Young's gimmick seems fun too. "The Last Real Man in Professional Wrestling" or whatever it is. I'm glad he's found something that works for him. Apparently his match with Dalton Castle wasn't "white-hot," but the personalities seem like a good clash.

[Dukelorange]

I do wish they'd give a women's division a proper go.

They have or had a nice group to tap into. Veda Scott, ODB, Maria, and Mandy Leon have experience. They better pull some Shimmer stars before WWE takes that.

[Rollermacka]

Well, I guess I'm one of the few that watched Impact this week :-\
I liked the Edwards/ Roode match, Bram vs Joseph Park made me laugh (in a good way), and the woman's match made me laugh (in a bad way). Say what you want about EC3 and talking about all the WWE guys.... but that was one hell of a main event against Lashley

[drave]

What does EC3 say, and why is it significant?

[Innovator]

Gunner and Samuel Shaw have both said on twitter they're done with TNA

[Simple Fan]

Standing before him is the greatest wrestler who has ever lived. Kurt angle you are the best because you have beaten the best. You have beaten heartbreak kids and Texas rattlesnakes. You have beaten cerebral assassins, and electrifying men. You have beaten next big things, ayatollahs, nature boys, and superstars who are rated R. Kurt, you have beaten dead men, immortals, and hell *does the you can't see me gesture* guys who can't even see. You have beaten submission machines, phenomenal ones, charismatic enigmas, icons, and kings of mountains. But Kurt Angle, what do they have in common? They have been beaten. I haven't. And Kurt Angle, you can't beat me…”

Not really significant but it was funny, I liked it. He puts Kurt and him over and it was weel delivered.

[drave]

Meh - can take it or leave it really.

[Rollermacka]

Gunner and Samuel Shaw have both said on twitter they're done with TNA

Has either one even been on TV since they have moved to DA? Doesn't seem like that big of a loss if both guys leave when they haven't been used in half a year....

[Mr. Nerfect]

I was never a big fan of either Gunner or Samual Shaw, but there are two more projects TNA has just abandoned. I don't know how anyone can feel an emotional attachment to any character on that show.

[Mr. Nerfect]

EC3 sounds like he cut a great promo. I hope he beats Kurt Angle for the World Title. It'd be good to keep him undefeated for a while.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Strong vs. Nakamura</font> :y:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Feels weird watching this knowing that it was actually taped BEFORE Best in the World. Hence why the announcers only said "With Best in the World in the rearview mirror..." rather than any specifics. Otherwise they'd be talking about Strong being #1 contender.</font>

[Simple Fan]

Nakamura is probably my favorite Japanese wrestler, him and Roddy should have a good match.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Roderick Strong has been tearing it up this year, apparently. I'd like to see him vs. Nakamura.

[#1-norm-fan]

<font color=goldenrod>Feels weird watching this knowing that it was actually taped BEFORE Best in the World. Hence why the announcers only said "With Best in the World in the rearview mirror..." rather than any specifics. Otherwise they'd be talking about Strong being #1 contender.</font>

Hopefully with the new exposure they'll start filming everything immediately after one PPV so it can all air before the next. Airing new episodes that are already outdated is no good.

[Dark One]

Spoiler for TNA tonight or next week or something that's absolutely fucking hilarious:

Wait, is this a live Impact? How did that not get out before?

[loopydate]

Or is it not on the air yet and I can't tell time. Because that seems likely.

[Dark One]

It's on TV now. They're probably on like an hour tape delay.

[Simple Fan]

Holy shit this is a shocker.

[Dark One]

Josh Matthews "I think Impact Wrestling just broke the internet."

I don't think Jeff Jarrett showing up will do that.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wait, is this a live Impact? How did that not get out before?

Hour delay. Don't think they've done an actual live episode since the time they were on Mondays for a while.

[McLegend]

Jarrett's taking the belt home on Sunday.

[Dark One]

Jarrett's taking the belt home on Sunday.

It's not even for the belt, because they're going to have episodes taped tomorrow for AFTER the PPV.

[Dark One]

This is really weird and kind of uncomfortable.

Especially since the roster apparently had no idea this was happening and they've promoted a different promotion pretty hard during all of this.

[James Steele]

LOL @ Jarrett's promotion who hasn't even ran a show yet potentially buying out TNA. Sweet justice for Jeff Jarrett.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>That was a really awkward segment.

Oh well, I still fucking love Jarrett's "My World" theme.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

Wait, what exactly happened???

[Dark One]

IT'S TIME.

IT'S TIME.

IT'S VADER TIME.

[Simple Fan]

Vader time.

[Dark One]

Wait, what exactly happened???

Double J showed up from the crowd, said GFW about 76 times, said TNA called him to ask him to be in the King of the Mountain match, but he was conflicted, because basically "This company is shit and treated him like shit on the way out."

Karen rambled about not understanding, but Sonjay Dutt FROM GLOBAL FORCE WRESTLING explained that he hadn't gotten to go out the way he wanted to go out from the company he and HIS DADDY founded, so, she'd support him doing it. So they're doing it.

Then Jarrett's sweet TNA theme played.

The end.

[Droford]

I assume this amounts to Jeff Jarrett retirement match

[Dark One]

Now it's Matt Morgan.

Nice of all of these people to show up for the final TNA Impact tapings ever.

[Simple Fan]

Now the Blueprint this is awesome.

[Dark One]

I assume this amounts to Jeff Jarrett retirement match

Probably.

And even with me thinking TNA is a never-ending dumpster fire for the most part right now and not really liking Jeff Jarrett very much--or his PLANET JARRETT RUN-IN FEST title reigns--I'm happy for him to get a chance to go out in a theoretically better way in the company that he founded but got forced out of. Good for him.

Probably. I mean, it is TNA, so.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hmm. After seeing the picture, I was hoping for something more eventful.

[Droford]

Vader looks like he should have a green tongue and be chewing turnbuckles

[Mr. Nerfect]

Matt Morgan should be a major star. He suffers from the problem of being so big and good that he should really be the champion all the time, and companies don't know how to treat that.

[Dark One]

Hmm. After seeing the picture, I was hoping for something more eventful.

The story of TNA.

[Simple Fan]

It's pretty sad that that's actually a PROBLEM nowadays.

[#1-norm-fan]

Next week's Impact seems like a PPV while the actual PPV seems more like an episode of Impact.

[Savio]

Why is Matt Hardy burying his own moves?

[Savio]

Wait they are having the title match the day after the PPV?

[Emperor Smeat]

Hmm. After seeing the picture, I was hoping for something more eventful.

Supposedly he still has one more big announcement but its probably not going to be on tv when done.

TNA's locker room apparently wasn't pleased although probably more of them being fed up with always being in the dark with everything the past year or two.

It appears the PPV is setting up next week's Impact.

All the title matches are on Impact while the PPV matches just set them up. It's weird but I guess it makes sense to push the TV show and not the PPV at this point. I don't know. Just seems weird to even want people to pay to see the setup for a free show.

[Droford]

The only reason to order the ppv would be Jarrett last match and I'm not sure that's even a big enough deal..

[Dark One]

Pretty sure Trent Barreta died tonight in that main event. RIP Trent?

[James Steele]

It's not big enough of a deal.

I see Aries going back to ROH if anything. He is a 2 time ROH champion and could come right in and have a good feud with Lethal.

[Simple Fan]

EC3 is TNA Champion. Hope he keeps it for a while or til TNA merges with GFW.

[Droford]

Kurt took EC3 to Suplexenberg

[Mr. Nerfect]

The Pro Wrestling Torch no longer recognises the TNA World Title as a World Title. Ouch. I'm pretty sure they recognised the WWECW Title and the Middleweight Championship of Luxembourg.

Lol I guess my comment about to make about Derrick Bateman being a world champion doesn't count.

[#1-norm-fan]

Derrick Bateman being your world champ is a definite way to make your title not recognized as legitimate anymore. lol

I like the guy in his current role fine... but WORLD CHAMPION!?

[Savio]

He seems ok to me... better than Chris Sabin.

[Droford]

When Did TNA sign Tom Green..er..Norv Fernum?

He is definitely a better fit for a world champion than Chris Sabin. I guess I can give them that...

That match will be all shades of awesome. Weird thought though: I don't like the current ROH logo. I miss the old red and black block one. It seemed really simple, but somehow fit the vibe of the company really well.

[Simple Fan]

Aries said on his Twitter that that was a photoshop.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That is a major shame.

[Savio]

Are they just replaying their PPV?... just tuned in

[Simple Fan]

I believe that was the part of the show they had to edit Hernandez and the BDC out so they aired the King of the Mountain match from the PPV.

[Savio]

Ahhh ok

[#1-norm-fan]

Fucking Hernandez.

Great news!!! BRAM has been resigned to a NEW multi-year contract with IMPACT WRESTLING!! #1 Wrestling company on DA!! #PleaseWatchUs #ByeSpikelicia

[Droford]

Does TNA hire a Donald Trump impersonator for impact next week...?

[Innovator]

Whats Ace Steel doing these days?

[Droford]

Didn't recognize Serena with hair.

Looking for a pic of her, this Made me laugh.

RoH are losing their 8pm Destination America timeslot for some other quality programming (something about Bigfoot). Now only going to air at 11pm.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If I were TNA (and I'm so glad I'm not), I'd consider implementing a "three strikes and you're out" rule. Bring to the forefront the issues that TNA is having, and to decide who will make up the "core" of TNA moving forward, if a wrestler loses three matches in a row (no matter who they are), they are out of TNA.

It could be used to mine some drama. A guy like Rockstar Spud could lose two matches in a row and then win his third. Even a legend like Kurt Angle could find himself in the same predicament.

[Big Vic]

3 strikes is to little of a number

it is sad how many searching for bigfoot shows there are now

[Innovator]

Bigfoot search shows combined with Barbecue competition shows

[ClockShot]

11 is too late of a time slot. Why Destination America hasn't put this On Demand is beyond me.

Will probably lose a lot of viewers now, which will be its demise. Which is sad because it's great to watch.

[The Destroyer]

Can still watch it through the ROH website, which might be why it's not On Demand.

[Simple Fan]

The 11 PM time slot was doing almost as many viewers as it did at 8. Probably just trying to capitalize off the TNA audience sticking around. Without the 2 different timeslots they might get better numbers.

[Droford]

Watching TNA, serena needs to be bald

[#1-norm-fan]

Drew McIntyre vs Derick Bateman main eventing the next TNA PPV for the world title.

Oof

[Droford]

James Storm is done with TNA

Feels like he should be turning out the lights

[DAMN iNATOR]

James Storm is done with TNA

Feels like he should be turning out the lights

Thought he had quit and signed with WWE and was working with NXT as of like a month or two...?

[The Destroyer]

Dunno where you heard that.

[#1-norm-fan]

Damn. That roster is barren at this point. When you've put as much money into it over the years and now two guys who are better known as regulars on WWE's B shows are in your main event for the world title, it might be time to finally call it quits.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Dunno where you heard that.

Wasn't his contract with TNA done on June 30? Why this delay?

[Droford]

Apparently like a really loyal tna guy he came back to finish out the tapings/storylines in july

[Droford]

They still have

[Droford]

I bet he feels stupid

[Mr. Nerfect]

"Damn," said Bram.

[Simple Fan]

TNA vs GFW tonight. King of the Mountain as the main event.

[Savio]

Lashley can't afford "Beats by Dre" :/

[Droford]

Minions in the crowd randomly was a nice touch universal..

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Minions should book for TNA. Better logic.

[Droford]

Lol PJ Black @JustinGabriel

[Droford]

Wait, he fucking won the king of the mountain match? Holy shit

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

King of the Mountain Match so soon after the other one? If those matches mattered it would be stupid to do the same match so quickly.

[Droford]

I kinda like the idea of a champion of a specific type of match. Just sucks it's a really stupid match concept.

[DAMN iNATOR]

They still have

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CIhj4JcWgAAnBgj.jpg

Please don't steam Heisenberg's gimmick.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't like how PJ Black just fought in a massive match like that and is challenging next week. Also, it feels like he should want the X-Division Title.

[DAMN iNATOR]

They should all ask for their releases...why stay on the sinking ship the S.S. LOLRIPTNA?

[Simple Fan]

Because a late paycheck is better than no paycheck. Plus its still on national TV and gets guys exposure.

[Droford]

Lol @ the Shera dance

yOrgmqcDyRY

[Droford]

The vest thing Eli Drake wears with his initials on it is the dumbest looking thing I've ever seen

[Heisenberg]

Please don't steam Heisenberg's gimmick.

I'd appreciate it if we all banded together and notify the casual/non-TNA fans that Bram is back so that we can get a movement going. They need to know

Justin Gabriel vs Derrick Bateman champion vs champion match in the main event

Everything is weird

[Simple Fan]

Jeff Jarret's corporate take over tonight. Already used Magnus's feast or fired tag team brief case to win the TNA tag team titles off the Wolves.

[Simple Fan]

Well they didn't edit Bram out of this weeks Impact. Just answered a open fight night challenge from Kenny King.

[Simple Fan]

And he won. Kenny King could have used that win.

[Fignuts]

God fucking damn it. Visiting my hometown in a couple weeks, and I just found that the day I'm set to come back, there's a ROH event taking place 2 minutes from where I'm staying.

Jay Lethal is fighting the headliner of wrestlemania 20, stevie richards

[Simple Fan]

Dalton Castle's promo was pretty good. Going to make the Silas Young one of his boys.

[The Destroyer]

Not been able to watch ROH for 2 weeks now since they've "temporarily" had to remove the ability to watch it via their website, or something.

Oh well, less legitimate methods, here I come.

[Simple Fan]

It appears that while questions about TNA’s future on Destination America still lingering, the company is not ready to throw in the towel just yet. There has been word circulating within the company that someone from TNA’s past is returning to work with the company. This is one of their “major announcements” that are coming shortly.

The company has been teasing big announcements as of late, so this could be one of them. While the identity of the talent isn’t known, they are said to be playing a big role in TNA on their return


Its not Jarrett, I dont see AJ coming back now, and TNA can't afford to have Hogan right now so I dont know who it could be.

[Damian Rey]

Sonjay Dutt

[Simple Fan]

He has been on Impact the last couple of weeks with Jarrett. Unless it just Kurt returning from injury.

[Damian Rey]

Black Machismo is back in the impact zone, dig it.

[Droford]

How can Chris Mordetzky wear a Chris Masters t shirt on impact

[Simple Fan]

I know I seen that to.

[Mr. Nerfect]

TNA should drop back to one hour. I'd posts my reasons, but I honestly can't be bothered. Short summary: I think a surprising lot of good would come from it, not least because it is requesting less of an emotional investment at this point in time. NXT has made shorter programming blocks stylish again. Don't put your guys on every episode and have them work GFW if they want more dates.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Doesn't matter what they do at this point. If Destination America is determined that TNA is gone @ the end of the month, so be it. And good luck getting any other networks to sign them to a new deal. If they want to survive they may well have to go to an online-exclusive format, althoufh that would almost certainly be the death knell for them.

[Mr. Nerfect]

You're probably right, but they'll have a better chance pitching a shorter, simpler show to networks, who won't have to pay as much for the time.

[Simple Fan]

Knockouts were really the highlight of Impact this week. WWE needs to watch Impact to see how to present womens wrestling. In a 2 hour show they were able to showcase 11 women (12 if you count Karen Jarrett) without any of it feeling forced or corny.

[Simple Fan]

Hell of a match between Lethal and Strong. ROH really got something going with Jay Lethal.

Ehhh, I doubt they could learn anything in 3 short weeks...

[Simple Fan]

They could learn a lot from this weeks episode alone.

Jay Lethal is a future legend, sadly he'd be the new comedy R-Truth if WWE snatched him up, but that would lead to more Ric Flair impersonations
