Mike Bennett and Maria ready to kick off the show

Maria looks good tonight

Mike Bennett will face The Moose at Bound For Glory 2016

Is there any time she doesn't?

Good match for Bound for Glory. Moose needs to be a g
face and should win.

Haven't really been impressed with Sieana. Knockout division has taken a bit in the last year with women leaving like ODB, Velvet Sky, and Taryn Terrell. Think Angelina Love had a baby to and has been out.

Why does Madison Rayne look Asian now?

Smashing Pumpkin said he has an announcement that will change pro-wrestling forever...and it's next!

Billy's big announcement is next.

Wasn't really paying attention to that match but didn't notice Rayne. Did she get involved?

Broken Matt Hardy giving the Young Bucks a shout out by naming his spot monkeys after them.

That is a good looking championship.

she was the one in purple, re: Madison Rayne

wait, so how is this different than their world title...

Names not bad either Impact Grand Championship. Just not sure about the rules.

it has points like mma...

I am kanefused

drew galloway vs wine sutter in a grand championship tournament match...

ROUND 1...I have no clue what the rules are they didn't really explain

The match was Jade and Gail vs Sieana and Allie. Didn't see Rayne if she got involved.

oh maybe I thought Jade was Madison Rayne lol

Yeah they did, had that video package that explained that it's 3 rounds of 3 minutes each and they will be judged. Can win by pinball though.

judged on WHAT

I think Galloway won, they appear to have stopped in round 3

Yeah Galloway made him tap. It's not a bad concept I just don't think k they will stick with it and it will just go back to being defended in regular matches.

what are they judged on...watching with show on MUTE and they did not explain it for the hearing impaired

some lame press conference right now

where are the hardys #boringchant

Wrestling. Pretty much just a regular match that gets stopped after 3 minutes and the judges give their scores of the round and the next round starts.

joey matthews said they will explain the rules in just a second....as eli drake faces jesse godderz

omg they explained NOTHING

10 point system of 3 rounds, can be won by pinfall, submission or points...how the FUCK do you get points Josh Matthews....

What don't you understand? It's wrestling dude. Perform a wrestling move get a point.

if all it takes to get a point is to do a wrestling move the match would be over in 2 minutes...wrestlers do like hundreds of moves a match...

this is a HOT MESS of an idea

Trainwreck Nonstop Action Impact...

I like it, it's not as complicated as you make it out to be. It's actually pretty simple and different but I doubt they will stick with it long term.

Yeah, the Grand Championship idea is fucking stupid. TNA should have a World Title, a Women's Title, an X-Division Title (although I wouldn't mind it if they sent their X-Division Champion away for a bit) and Tag Titles. They don't have the depth right now for ANOTHER mid-card title on top of that. In time, if they sign a bunch of the amazing free agents out there right now and manage to get some momentum together so they can offer guys like Kenny Omega and Adam Cole good deals at the end of the year, then you can bring in an Intercontinental Title or something.

where are the hardyz...everyone else is not at "their level" need more Matt/Jeff and less Smashing Pumpkin/Lashley/Josh Matthews

Obviously you don't get a point for every move. If a guy hits more moves than the other guy he pretty much wins the round.

'

I think last week DJ Z (Zema Ion) won the new X-Title they introduced back but he is not mentioned on the show this week

Joey Styles is a free agent. How do you think he would go calling Impact?

They have Mike Tenay and don't use him. I don't mind Mathews and think he's alright. Popes ok

Why the fuck is Zema Ion "DJ Z?" Remember when he accidentally hurt Jesse Sorensen with that moonsault. That was the perfect opportunity to have Ion cut promos about how he will cut down the entire division. Jesse comes back, Zema sees a ghost, Jesse kicks his ass.

Instead Zema Ion is a DJ and Sorensen isn't in the company.

He would be better than the current people they have

I used to like Mathews too, but then he really started to irk me. Mike Tenay is the best third man in wrestling history, but they don't need three men. Mike Tenay could be like their Mean Gene. Jim Ross and Joey Styles should alternate weeks. Josh Mathews can be a whiny heel manager or something.

DJ Z (Zema Ion) is a "Irl" DJ as well...gotta pay those bills that TNA doesn't pay enough to cover!

sweet, hardy boys segment with THE DECAY

Raven would be an interesting color commentator.

Oh, I'm a DJ Irl too. Everybody's a DJ Irl.

That was the most entertaining segment i've seen in wrestling all week...loved the hardys/decay

Broken Matt is a gift to wrestling.

Probably the best wrestling show I've watched this week. I like the Impact Grand Championship and think it different and they definitely need a mid card title. Broken Matt continues to kill it.

The fuck was that Rosemary/Hardy stuff? Jesus.

You didn't like it? Best thing in wrestling right now in my opinion. Decay is a great team for the Broken Hardys to work with in this type of feud.

What type of feud is it? Fireworks and pool fighting? Did Crazzy Steve die in the pool? What did Rosemary spit and how did Hardy catch it?

I get what they are going for -- hammy horror come to life -- they're hoping to ironically appeal to people. There was a period of time where I thought this might be the route wrestling needed to go. Seeing it actually play out makes me glad I regained my common sense. It's the same as that Lucha Underground stuff. You can enjoy it all you want, but it's not wrestling. It's one season of a TV show most people won't want to watch.

I think Matt Hardy has done a better job getting his gardener over than WWE has with Roman Reigns.

Maxel is more over than Roman Reigns.

According to the numbers, Delete or Decay didn't have the same viewer effect Final Deletion had for Impact.

Actually dropped compared to last week. Also didn't help it went against the NFL's season opener.

No. No, he is not.

It's the dogs fucking on the side of the road theory in full effect. This is freak show shit and as a goof people might check it out once with their buddies. But there's no meat on the bone.

Delete or Decay didn't have near as much promotion as The Final Deletion did which could have also been a factor. Football was probably the biggest deterrent though but they really stuck around their average and didn't take a huge hit.

Reigns is a super face that gets super heel reactions, Maxel is more over and he is just a baby that almost got kidnapped.

There are more people cheering Reigns in any given arena than there are people who even know who the fuck Maxel is. Stop with this.

yeah I hate all those rules they better end that, it is like wcw in the bill watts era

I like the Grand Championship rules I just have no faith that they will stick with it. Before long it will just be defended in regular matches. It's not a bad concept and is different so I like it. Title looks awesome as well.

This is incorrect, most arenas for WWE shows seat around 15 thousand give or take a few thousand. Most of those people boo Reigns. At least 300,000 people watch Impact every week and know who Maxel is. Its ok because Maxel would cheer for Roman.

Ten times that amount of people watch WWE on any given week. Far more are familiar with the WWE product and Roman Reigns in general. TNA is watched by the same muties every week.

I can't believe I am defending the WWE product...that is how bad this horseshit is though.

By the way, apparently the latest segment bombed.

I know but you said arena. Just messing around with you. Obviously more people know who Reigns is but if go off how over WWE wants him to be compared to how over he really is then he's not really over at all.

Yeah, but TNA is garbage on an even more epic scale.

Where does TNA film their shows? They're not touring are they?

no they are still in Orlando and the hardy compound

They don't even charge for entry.

I feel like I should get a Wellness Violation suspension reading this thread

I saw two pro Roman Reigns signs in the RAW crowd tonight. That means he is automatically 10x more over than Matt Hardy, let alone Maxell.

I've seen at least 2 Delete signs in WWE crowds. What's the ruling on that?

Matt and Jeff Hardy in disguise.

Decay kidnapped senor Benjamin? The last I saw abyss goozeled him and threw him in the grave what happened?
