TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Lumberjack Match
Bobby Roode vs "The Icon" Sting

Pretty good match so far... Sting with a cross body over the top to the floor

Woops.. Sting wins but apparently this was a non-title match

This is going to be the "Hulk Hogan" show. Fuck it.

Hulk Hogan out.. now books Sting vs Bobby Roode FOR the title at TNA Slammiversary PAY PER VIEW

What has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap?

Hulk Hogan

Trying to vote at the TNA website for the tV title challeger and its not working. GO TNA
Isn't that supposed to be one of the main sticking points to this new production style??

Is the one playing Abyss' brother Abyss himself?

Is the guy with the glasses Abyss?

hahaha.

I think so. I haven't followed TNA recently but sure looks like him.

Austin Aries versus Chris Sabin

Sounds great to me

The first two segments were pretty watchable.

I just don't know how biased I am right now because of the whole Big Show push crap though...

All this time I was thinking that was Penn from Penn and Teller...

He does look Penn, doesn't he?

Aries vs. Sabin... oughta be a pretty good match. Like the dinosaurian hoodie, kinda like something Brodus would wear.

Pretty sweet little match right there

Hulk Hogan and Taz handshaka!!! Tazmaniac Running Wild Again Brotha?

I have no idea who that is

They're two Las Vegas illusionists who do alot Skeptic programs and shit. Penn's heavyset, has long hair in a ponytail, and wears glasses and a business suit.

Yes, like that!

i wondered who they would get to replace flair

Holy shit... that does look like the guy

Why don't you just talk about tna in front of a mirror? You'd accomplish almost the same amount of attention.

This Gutcheck thing with Brother Love, Al Snow and Taz is boring me alot

Cuz then my fiance might seriously reconsider saying yes to me. And my cats might be upset that I'm taking over their bathroom.

I'd bang Dixie Carter.

By the way she is walking it looks like someone may have beaten you to it.

I like it, it makes the show seem less hoaky, gives more of a backstage glance at how new talent is handled.

Dixie looks like she could pass for Brooke's mom!

HEAT.

hall of fame damn

Girl People < People Power.

Dixie is dislusional if she believes Brooke Hogan is going to do anything.

Heard Brooke's a big time slut, so I think she will do anything.

I'm kind of hoping they have RVD face Devon and defeat him for the TV title.

it will get us to want karen back

AJ Styles wants a threesome with Dixie and Brooke. It all makes sense now.

I was waiting for a "NEPOTISM" chant.

CHRISTIAN!!!

i kind of hope rob-e wins the vote, last week rvd and hardy lost out on going for the tna belt this week they lose out on the tv belt.

Pretty funny TNAW hypes up Christian Cage.

Both the Dudleyz look in fantastic shape these days. Kind of like reverse aging.

Probably just because they own the footage.

Remember when WWE showed Brock Lesnar beating a bunch of TNA guys in promos a month or 2 ago?+

yep make hardy tv champ see if he can defend it every week.

WCW Thursday Night!

jesus

this is how you please your fans.

I know I voted for bullshit run-in ending.

Yeah that was a pretty stupid ending.

It's just TV, hopefully they stop doing this stuff at PPVs

I hope they have something better for RVD than looking sad that he was not chosen for the tV title match.

who said TNA was watchable? i want them tried in the hague.

Compared to the same stupid shit WWE's been pulling lately with it's predictability, I agree that TNA is now watchable.

How not to book Rob Van Dam...

-Book as a lumberjack for the opening match
-Have him standing around not getting voted for TV match

hasnt been that bad of a show, as for the Robs interfering in the tv title match, they did that last week too. E wants his titke back obviously

TNA has already done enough for me to never watch it again.

Let's go Red Sox! Get that tying run!

bruce vs big johnny

yep it helps that fued for that mid-card belt

it's not trending.

team him with austin Aires ... hollywood assholes

Dammit I forgot about this gonna start watching now.

I'd mark out if Taz fucking suplexed the fuck out of him and locked in the Tazmission

gonna get choked out

al snow only voted yes to get tazz to rip him lol

Well, Joey's out.

i liked him more than the last guy they said yes to

I miss Sharkboy, where'd he go to after leaving TNA?

what ever happened to Murphy ?

Who is Murphy?

They need to show more Christy.

Gunner and Murphy were tna security/tag team early on

She's a pretty shit ring announcer, but she's hot.

Daniels looks like Maynard from Tool.

she doesn't botch as much as Lilian.....and she looks better......

They cant even afford handcuffs?

This show started off good but went downhill real fast.

Who's finished?

David Sahadi?

Well, I guess it wasn't as bad as their shows were in the past.

Well, I won't be watching next week. I gave you another chance TNA and you blew it.

show seemed to flow better live i guess...it wasnt bad

This was more interesting than Raw.

-The Sting v Roode scenario w Hogan making very little presence felt was good.

-The Bully Ray v Abyss stuff was somewhat comical and makes for a somewhat interesting storyline.

-The TV title can actually be entertaining if they keep big name guys involved in it week in and week out.

-The last segment shows that TNA might actually care about their tag titles and not disregard them to filler matches. Although the Dixie/AJ crap is meh.

-I did my laundry when Brooke Hogan was about to come out in order not to cringe (with all of the Knockout talent they have, why bring Brooke in unless it is complete nepotism).

-The Gut Check segments at first were boring, but the live segment was kind of interesting.

With all the crap that's shoved down our throats on Raw, why not give this stuff a slight sliver of a chance?

<font color=goldenrod>lol it's so obvious that they were planning a surprise party for Dixie's husband or something like that in that conversation rather than discussing an affair

"Don't let him know you're coming!"

Well no shit.</font>

It's a start... It could have been worse, it was okay.... It's not an alternate to Raw though...

I thought it started out real good but then dropped off the face of the Earth.

Daniels and Kazarian rules.

Getting closer, not there yet, but it's on its way, especially if they drag this Big Show heel thing out long enough, and also, Orton's suspension.

I don't know how anyone even watches WWE Raw. I cannot sit through an entire episode of Raw. I don't think I have sat through an entire episode of Raw for over 5 years, at least. It's embarassing.

I'll watch bits and pieces. Or if I think I'll enjoy a match or promo I'll download it or catch a replay and skip through to the part I want to see. I just can't sit through an entire episode of Raw, its awful.

Damndirty:

You just want any competition that you'll just jump on anything even if its horrible. It's horrible. It's not getting there unless if "there" is cancellation/bankruptcy.

I remember saying it was getting closer about 2 years ago.

I honestly hope for the best, but I am keeping a very skeptical stance on the whole thing. I will watch again next week.

The Knockouts division has so much talent that having Brooke Hogan come in to do whatever it is she will is an insult to the entire female roster.

The entire show gave me a couple of angles to believe in. The James Storm promos were pretty damn believable ( a beer drinkin' family guy who wants to come back to regain his honor really resonated with me).

We will see...

If I DVR'd Impact tonight, I could have skipped a ton of shit and whittled it down to an hour.

Show wasn't bad, but the camera angles always moving....yikes!

like commercials lol

Aries/Sabin was fine, everything was shitting in a hat and wearing it.

is taz able to wrestle, it looked like they were setting up a joey taz fued, if he can i would'nt mind taz wrestling again.

Taz is too fat to wrestle. He can waddle behind someone and do the Tazmission, but thats about it.

I thought it started of really well, I got my bathroom break when Dixie came out, and AJ vs Danels always have great matches (they've been going back and fourth for 10 years and I still thought it was a good Impact main event) The Dixie storyline is stupid, but other than those little bits an overall solid show.
