OFFICIAL TNA Impact 8/25/16 Thread

[Simple Fan]

Since slik has been doing a Impact thread last couple of weeks here we go. Who else will be watching. Turning Point tonight I guess.

[Simple Fan]

Pope just left commentary because Lashly was joining them.

[slik]

Ok, missed the 1st minutes via Playstation Vue making me change my password for some reason...

Battle Royal happening for #1 contender to Lashley I think

[Simple Fan]

Yeah, my money's on Bennett. Really thought it was to set up Aron Rex for a title shot so I'm relieved he's not in it.

[slik]

what 2 wrestlers have been eliminated, I saw it started with 10

[slik]

Robbie E eliminated

bald guy with beard eliminated by the moose

[slik]

Grado eliminated

[slik]

I guess that annoying Indian dude and the bald guy with beard's tag partner must have been the first two eliminated

[Simple Fan]

Pretty impressive by Eli Drake

[slik]

Eli Drake eliminated, down to final four: Moose, Mike Bennett, Jessie Godderz, Eddie Edwards

Moose just eliminated Jessie Godderdz and yelled "I AM MOOSE" real loud

[slik]

Mike Bennett eliminates Eddie Edwards and The Moose. Mike Bennett has earned a #1 title shot. The Moose is angry looking now. The Moose beating the ring with his fist. The Moose will not take this loss lightly. The Moose doesn't fuck around.

[slik]

You better think twice before getting in the face of The Moose.

[slik]

ECIII and Drew Galloway are taking shots at some luxury swimming facility...looks nice. A-Ron Rex will appear later tonight...The Moose is still angry af.

Not juggaloes. Crazy Steve used to be a clown. There more like the Joker I guess. Get alot of Joker Sting vibes from tham.

[slik]

One of the decay said they would kidnap Matt Hardy's son, Maxwell Hardy. Matt Hardy said he would eat Steve of the Decay like a cannibal.

[slik]

The Demon Abyss wrestling "Brother Nero The Obsolete Mule" Jeff Hardy. Matt Hardy keeps screaming "OBSOLETE" into a microphone at ringside.

Main Event is Drew Galloway vs Ethan Carter w/ guest referee Aron Rex.

[Simple Fan]

I liked that finish, sets up Galloway vs Rex which is better than Rex going over one of their own talents like Drake or Sutter.

[Simple Fan]

Well I guess Galoway has turned heel already.

Not gonna lie, I popped on Spuds promo. "You're short, you're blonde, you're Brittish.... that will never get over" :rofl:

[Rollermacka]

My "quick review" of the show...

Hmm, the Battle Royal was "ok". I don't like that the one French guy dumped out the other..... TNA needs legit tag teams that are teams not two individuals. It was pretty much Moose, Bennett or Eddie from the start, strange they are turning Moose so quickly

The Hardy/ Abyss match was ok.... I didn't like how Nero was "fully broken" for the ladder match and one week later he's back in the middle. I did laugh at Matt biting Steve and Steve completely not catching Hardy on the dive (maybe he shouldn't do that anymore)
Side note, I am a huge Abyss fan personally (the guy has literally gave his body for TNA) but he was looking pretty rough out there. I hate to see him go, but that chokeslam and Black Hole Slam didn't have the same impact (no pun intended) that they did 5 years ago

Woman's match made me smile, I thought it was a nice "twist" finish. I also am a fan of Allie (Cherry Bomb), she actually is a really great female worker and her playing the semi-trained secretary makes me laugh

Eli Drake is still very good, really has "stepped up" in this new direction with the Facts of Life segments. It's a shame because Mandrews, Braxton, Spud, and both members of the Helm's Dynasty are amazing wrestlers who can carry the championship.... but the guys really haven't been given a chance to really showcase what they can do.

Main Event, both guys are great workers. People can say "oh pushing former WWE rejects" but both EC3 and Drew have definitely grown into their own in TNA. Drew is actually a very good heel, especially his recent stuff in ICW. I will also "defend" putting Arron Rex into a main event feud this quickly, just on the fact that he's still very "in" right now from his Mizdow days, and it wouldn't make sense to put him in his first feud with... Ayden O'Shea or Sharkboy when you can capitalize on him right now.
