Get back in your cage

[BigDaddyCool]

How is it going? I'm watching reruns of Greys.

[Innovator]

BDC you're watching Grey's, somehow equally as gay as iMPACT

[BigDaddyCool]

Hmmmmmm, they are both really gay.

[Innovator]

Wow there is a Michelle McCool wannabe and a Milena wannabe

[Innovator]

Melina, whatever

[Innovator]

Petey gets the world title shot, and TNA is getting a lawsuit

[Innovator]

Christian still being a dick...so he's still a heel?

[BigDaddyCool]

Is there a Jillian wanna be?

[Innovator]

Yeah Kip James

[Innovator]

Poor Stamboli, new gimmick and he hasn't won a match yet

[BigDaddyCool]

Honey on pizza=the balls

[Innovator]

Not bad, Hot sauce on pizza is pretty good too

[McLegend]

Man that briefcase thing is retarded

[Innovator]

That Verizon commercial with the pony is stupid

[Innovator]

Man that briefcase thing is retarded
Even better, it's Russorific!

[BigDaddyCool]

Not bad, Hot sauce on pizza is pretty good too

Ever try maple syrup?

[Super V]

The breifcase things sounds very Dutch Mantel to me tbq&ch.

[Innovator]

Did Kaz start feathering his hair like Morrison?

[BigDaddyCool]

Did Kaz start feathering his hair like Morrison?

You mean, not going for the Scott Hall pull back.

[Innovator]

Ever try maple syrup?
Nah, but its money on sweet potatoes

[Innovator]

You mean, not going for the Scott Hall pull back.
yup

Oh WOW Rellik lost! I've never seen that before

[BigDaddyCool]

Nah, but its money on sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes are the gross thing ever.

[Innovator]

Also for those who want something cool to watch at 10, UFC special on CNBC

[BigDaddyCool]

STOP LOOKING AT ME SWAN

Billy Madison >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TNA

[DarKCentaur]

I just started watching... you can't seriously tell me they're making Christian a face after last week. Are they?

[BigDaddyCool]

Also for those who want something cool to watch at 10, UFC special on CNBC

UFC is crap.

[BigDaddyCool]

I just started watching... you can't seriously tell me they're making Christian a face after last week. Are they?

No clue.

[Innovator]

UFC is crap.
Nash likes UFC

[Innovator]

Not yet, he's still coming down the Heel Ramp

[Kane Knight]

Just tuned in on that last segment. Is TNA production getting better, or is WWE just getting worse?

[DarKCentaur]

Did they open any of the briefcases yet?

[DarKCentaur]

Nice to see Jackie Moore stealing Scott Hall's gimmick

[BigDaddyCool]

idk, I'm watching grey's.

[BigDaddyCool]

Nice to see Jackie Moore stealing Scott Hall's gimmick

No showing and being drunk?

[Innovator]

Well the drunk part at least

[DarKCentaur]

No showing and being drunk?

No, she at least showed up.

[Innovator]

Are they gonna pull the trigger on Roode and Ms. Brooks yet

[BigDaddyCool]

No, they built to nothing.

[DarKCentaur]

Are they gonna pull the trigger on Roode and Ms. Brooks yet

Never. Which is ironic considering how quickly every other storyline is resolved. Well, every other storyline except Abyss/Black Reign

[Innovator]

Every Abyss and Robert Roode angle, respectively, last about 6 months longer than they should

[DarKCentaur]

But Robert Roode is awesome. So it's ok

[BigDaddyCool]

Fuck, now it is Grey's #2, Private practice.

[DarKCentaur]

What, is half the roster drunk tonight?

[BigDaddyCool]

Also, hasn't the Abyss ship sailed?

[Kane Knight]

Christian sounded a bit like Jay Leno there.

[Kane Knight]

What, is half the roster drunk tonight?

If it's only half, they're lucky.

[DarKCentaur]

The similarities between Kane and Abyss are quite astounding, right down to what I'm sure will be the illogical character developments we're about to see here.

[Kane Knight]

Why put the TNAS logo in the middle of a fucking entrance video? Are they afraid that in that three seconds, you might have forgotten what you're watching?

[Kane Knight]

The similarities between Kane and Abyss are quite astounding, right down to what I'm sure will be the illogical character developments we're about to see here.

...Is Jeff Jarrett gonna fuck a dummy?

[Innovator]

Abyss/Mitchell, I flipped to the UFC special

[Kane Knight]

Also, Paul Bearer lite annoys me.

[BigDaddyCool]

We can only hope Jeff does.

[DarKCentaur]

...Is Jeff Jarrett gonna fuck a dummy?

One can only hope.

[DarKCentaur]

Abyss's Dad: THREE TIME, THREE TIME, THREE TIME BULLET VICTIM.

[DarKCentaur]

What the hell? Who is this Super Crazy-looking motherfucker

[DarKCentaur]

And he's wearing Scott Hall's tights in purple and black

[Kane Knight]

I love how injured Abyss was when he got a scrape on his forehead.

[Innovator]

Judas Mesias, next.

[DarKCentaur]

So, nothing was accomplished here story-wise, except now we have another guy in the revolving door that is the Abyss/James Mitchell extravaganza

[DarKCentaur]

It's almost like Abyss is the Goldberg-esque champion of sorts: taking on all comers, no matter how crappy they are

[Innovator]

He was there for two weeks then got injured

[Innovator]

:lol: Christian is awesome

[DarKCentaur]

Booker wil never be his partner... read as: Next week, Booker T turns heel and joins the Christian Coalition

[DarKCentaur]

So wait, did Petey Williams open his case? They haven't said what he's won

[DarKCentaur]

Chris Harris looks like he's drunk too, what the hell is going on tonight

[Innovator]

Damn McCain, hating on UFC

[Innovator]

So wait, did Petey Williams open his case? They haven't said what he's won
yeah he got a world title shot

[Kane Knight]

Wow. Booker's putting some real effort in.

[DarKCentaur]

yeah he got a world title shot

...

No really, what did he get, the X-Division shot?

[DarKCentaur]

Petey Williams wins the World Title shot? Was this Feast or Fired match actually random?

[DarKCentaur]

Wait, Petey's briefcase is still on the podium?

[Innovator]

weak

[DarKCentaur]

The 1999-2000 era WCW parallels are quite amazing: Petey's briefcase was still on display, and Scott Steiner's was nowhere to be found.

[Kane Knight]

Man, this match is gay.

[6to1]

The 1999-2000 era WCW parallels are quite amazing: Petey's briefcase was still on display, and Scott Steiner's was nowhere to be found.

they traded casses

[DarKCentaur]

The new Rambo looks awesome

[DarKCentaur]

they traded casses

Wait, did they really? I missed the first half hour, I honestly have no idea

[Volare]

I just jumped on and hearing about briefcases...I figured Howie Mandel showed up to make it even more retarded

[6to1]

Wait, did they really? I missed the first half hour, I honestly have no idea

yea scott won the right to trade casses

[DarKCentaur]

Well hell, I should actually watch the whole show before I make fun of TNA.









Nah.

[Innovator]

Daniels gets fired, extra weak

[DarKCentaur]

Daniels gets fired, extra weak

Don't worry: he'll be back next week

[Kane Knight]

Don't worry: he'll be back next week

And even if he wasn't, saying "Never to return" is fucking retarded.

[Kane Knight]

Well, I liked the ending. The problem being, most of the rest blew. It was nice seeing Booker give a shit.

[JT]

Seriously, Kurt Angle isn't allowed to say "It's True...It's Damn True"? It just seems so stupid that a dumb saying like that can be copywrited.

[JT]

DANIELS: So what's the plan?

BOOKER: What plan?

DANIELS: You know...the plan for me.

BOOKER: Huh...what...I don't know. You want a match next week?

DANIELS: A match!?! We just did a storyline where I got fired.

BOKKER: Oh yea, about that. We felt the fans didn't connect with the storyline so we dropped it.

DANIELS: But we already did it...it's an active storyline. We can't turn back now.

BOOKER: Sorry...but we didn't know where to go with it anyway. But hey, how about this...next week we let the Dudley's beat you up and then pee on you. It will be so controveral...we're bound to get ratings.

DANIELS:Is there a worst booker than you.?

BOOKER: Not while my name is Vince Russo!

[JT]

Yes, I realize that Vince isn't in charge...I'm sticking with the joke.

[Kane Knight]

Seriously, Kurt Angle isn't allowed to say "It's True...It's Damn True"? It just seems so stupid that a dumb saying like that can be copywrited.

Yeah. In no way should catchphrases be a trademark, especially in wrestling.

DANIELS: So what's the plan?

BOOKER: What plan?

DANIELS: You know...the plan for me.

BOOKER: Huh...what...I don't know. You want a match next week?

DANIELS: A match!?! We just did a storyline where I got fired.

BOKKER: Oh yea, about that. We felt the fans didn't connect with the storyline so we dropped it.

DANIELS: But we already did it...it's an active storyline. We can't turn back now.

DANIELS:Is there a worst booker than you.?

BOOKER: Not while my name is Vince Russo!

LOL!

Yes, I realize that Vince isn't in charge...I'm sticking with the joke.


Well, he's not the principle writer, but he can still have a hand in this shit. :D

[Innovator]

hence all the poll matches

[Loose Cannon]

First time I caught TNA in a while. I really wish the show was on Monday's cause I don't watch wrestling any other night normally.

Good show. TNA does this thing with me where they can be pretty good and then pretty bad. And they go back and forth like every 4 months. Last night's show was an entertaining show.

This whole Christian/Angle storyline is a very well put together storyline. This is the kind of angle I miss and you don't see in the WWE at all. It progresses through the whole show and then has a cliff hanger ending. That is how a top wrestling angle should be booked every single week.

I thought I wouldn't like this, but the double personality Goldust thing entertained me. That's really cool and pretty original as I don't think I've ever seen an angle like that before. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

god how good is Bobby Roode? I'm glad he was in a good part of the show last night. Great wrestler, great promo. He's got it all. I'm glad TNA is putting him with the main guys.


I am liking the stuff with the Dudleys and the X guys. That's a great spot for the Dudleys to be in. They've developed that angle fairly well.


Everything else was meh.


Don West and Jeremy Borash really irritated me last night over two things. First, when the case revealed Chris was fired, Borash didn't change his tone or anything. He acted like Chris just lost a trip or something. The man lost his job. Usually, people act sympathetic when someone loses thier job. If it was Stone Cold Steve Austin doing the announcing, then yea, that would of fit Austin, but not Jeremy Borash. They made the whole angle seem pointless.


Then during that same segment, BG James said he didn't have a partner right now when he won the tag title shot. ok stop. The Outlaws have been best friends for ages and done everything in the world together in wrestling. There should be some kind of hush silence and shock portrayed when BG his partner was TBD, but no. Don West doesn't change his tone or anything and starts screaming OMG BG JAMES SAID HE HAD NOT PARTNER YET. WHAT WHAT. errr, you moron.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, but then, everything seems to have the same tone, anyway. The crowd always seems to have the same reactions to everything, for example. And the product itself tends to botch tense moments, which probably predisposes the crowd to reeact that way. I guess what I'm saying is, for better or worse, TNA really does deserve Don West.

[Loose Cannon]

yea, I do agree with you there. TNA is very robotic across the board. They can dish out better angles then the WWE can currently, but the emotion and presentation just isn't there.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, Borash not changing his tone seemed odd. I had to chuckle at "On behalf of TNA Management, we wish you all the best in your future endeavors."

And I basically have to mute the TV during Impact. I don't mind Tenay that much, but Don West just needs to fuck off.</font>

[Corkscrewed]

So regarding briefcases... was it DEAL or NO DEAL?

[Corkscrewed]

:shifty:

[redoneja]

Watching the replay edition at the moment.

Not a terrible show but not the greatest. The interaction between Steiner and Petey Williams in the 4 way was pretty great. For those who didn't watch, Williams is taking on the gimmick of the "Maple Leaf Muscle" and he basically mimicked Steiner's mannerisms throughout the match.

The "Deal or no Deal" for the Feast or Fired cases was terrible. Just terrible.

Like LC said, Robert Roode is the goods. I hope they don't drop the ball with this.

The RELLIK (by the way, that's KILLER backwards)/ Kaz match just ended. Kinda sad they bring in RELLIK (by the way, that's KILLER backwards) as some sort of badass guy and then he keeps jobbing.

The Abyss/James Mitchell segment just ended. Wasn't bad. Only problem I have is how often and liberally they use the barb wire. For Abyss, barb wire and thumbtacks have become way too common. I really think it takes away from the spots they do, especially because he (and those he wrestles) essentially no-sell the damage that barb wire and thumbtacks really could do to a person.

[Loose Cannon]

yea, they did the same thing with Judas mesias. Brought him in as a bad ass and he sits there jobbing to Abyss

[Kane Knight]

I'm telling you, I'm gonna start recording TNA. The main event and the buildup to it has been gold almost every time I've watched recently. And almost everything else has been utter shite. So I'll just start taping it, watch the fifteen minutes I care about, and skip the rest.
