They're not copying WWE/Jinder. They were IN India and had an Indian guy win a midcard title in his home country to give the crowd a feel good moment. It's kind of just a typical wrestling story. There's a big difference between that and suddenly revolving an entire brand around a jobber just to boost business in a foreign country.

It worked out just how the WWE wanted it to really. Cant speak for India but here in America WWE spun it as an Impact reaction.

The bigger point I'm trying to make isn't just that it looks reactionary to WWE... but that IMPACT HAS HAD YEARS OF A HEAD START WITH THIS MARKET AND IT STILL LOOKS REACTIONARY TO WWE! |
Starting late tjis week as I was watching the NBA Draft and Louisville in the CWS but here we go.
|
3rd week in India, first match is X Division Sony Six way match. Davey Richards, Trevor Lee, Suicide, Braxton Sutter, Eddie Edwards, and Matt Sydal. Winner get another little trophy.
|
Its an elimination match and Suicide and Braxton Sutter have been eliminated.
|
Davey Richards has been DQ'ed and started to atrack Eddie Edwards who was also DQ'ed for defending himself against a guy that was already eliminated via DQ. Dont get that at all but I guess it builds the ruthlessness of the two leading up to their Slammiversary match.
|
Matt Sydal win the match and the little trophy. Might get a X Division Championship match now.
|
Laural Van Ness and Sienna vs Allie and Rosemary is next. Questionable whether Rosemary shows up or not.
|
Rosemary didn't come out during her entrance and Sienna and Larual thought she wasnt coming and went for Allie at the top of the ramp. Rosemary came from under the ring and stopped them and the match has started.
|
Sienna and Laural won with Sienna pinning Rosemary.
|
Passed out about half way through.
|
OK Simple Asshole, now that I have finally caught up on Impact, I wanted to say that your play by play spoilers are not helpful nor insightful. You're just spoiling for the sake of spoiling. There were some Impact things I would have liked to discuss, but I stayed away from this idiotic thread because I knew I'd read something to ruin something else for me. Would you consider a possible format change here?
|
What do you suggest?
|
Im more than happy to accommodate other posters but no one seems to watch so I just type what happens in case someone checks in to see whats happening without watching.
|
I've thought about just posting the recap videos that they put on YouTube. Is that something that would work better?
|
Refer to the NXT or Lucha Underground threads where the product is discussed, but not spoiled. I have been watching recently because a friend of mine told me he's going to be on the show soon.
|
Im all for discussion and such and that was the intent when I started it but not alot of discussion about Impact happens around here unless it lolTNA type stuff.
|
Yeah, this isn't the NXT thread though.

Well, really almost anything except ROH as of late, I can actually catch an airing of that while at work. |

A critique of that method on the whole, though:
I get the reason for the "shoddy" editing to help avoid any copyright strikes with consecutive footage matching, but sometimes, whoever compiles the video will cut promos mid word and spots mid move... a bit annoying, but it still gets the point of the whole show across in about 10 minutes. |
For the record, I do not agree with the proposed changes.
This was never started as an Impact discussion or review thread. It clearly states that it is Simple Fan's thread. I quite enjoy the "stream of consciousness". |
While I understand where Anybody Thrilla is coming from with the spoilers I also dont see how that keeps people from discussing and it hasnt stoped people like Tom Guycott and #1-wwf-fan anyway. I dont watch Raw and Smackdown live so I dont check in on those thrrads until I'm done watching so not to be spoiled, Impact is no different other than instead of a bunch of people its just me and erikman occasionally. As I've also said there isn't alot of discussion about Impact Wrestling unless its lol TNA type stuff or something the front office is or isn't doing, its hardly ever about the product.

Anthem bought GFW.
Shocking, right? http://i.imgur.com/14HuIku.jpg http://www.tpww.net/2017/06/anthem-h...rce-wrestling/ |
Anthem seems serious about the wrestling business, now if they could only figure out what they want to be they might go somewhere. Also damn, I thought I'd never get through those Creature comments.
|
Just getting in and starting to watch. Hyping Slammiversary right now. Show is starting with contract signings.
|
Low Ki and Trevor Lee vs Sonjay Dutt and Matt Sydal is next.
|
Decent tag match, Sydal and Dutt won after Sydal hit a shooting star press on Trevor Lee.
|
Eli Draje and Chis Adonis vs The Mumbai Cats, two masked wrestlers.
|
Rockstar Spud vs Swoggle in a Mumbai Street Fight is next with a midget referee.
|
Match brike into a pantsing match as Spud tore the oants off tge ref before the ref tore Sluds pants off and then Swoggle put Spud through a table to win
|
Rosemary, Allie, and Braxton Sutter vs Sienna KM and Laural is next.
|
Rosemary won tbe match with a Red Wedding(F5) on Laural Van Ness
Main event time, El Patron, James Storm, Eddie Edwards and Mahabali Shera vs Lashley, EC3, Davey Richards, and Kongo Kong. |
Lashley's team attacked Shrea who was first out for his team and didnt participate in the first part of the match but returned half way through to help his team win. Patron hit a stomp on Kongo Kong for the win.
|
TNA is now known as Global Force Wrestling.
