Lock Jaw Tries To Watch TNA For a Month, and now watches Victory Road
 

As suggested by the title of this thread, I will be attempting to watch TNA for a month.

However, to keep myself entertained, I will be providing my live commentary and thoughts in this thread as I watch.

I am about to start watching yesterday's edition.

Wish me luck.

Opening up with some Hogan/Bichoff recap thing. Disappointed. Thought Hogan was gone or something.

Robert Roode out now. Liked his old theme a lot better.

Good to see Roode as champion though. Seem to be building to some sort of match against Sting. Now here comes the man himself.

They just had Sting's lower third read just "@Sting". I didn't notice it for Roode, but I really hope they aren't just keying people with their twitter handles.

Wait for Austin Aries. It'll be good. I haven't watched it yet, but I'm assuming it will be good.

No DQ match for the World Title against Jeff Hardy the opening match. I smell some sort of wacky finish coming.

I watched TNA last night..terrible..I do like how they film the scenes-makes it seem realistic..but some them fools CANNOT act.

The camera guys are definitely not as good at this as the WWE guys. Also, they use some weird camera angles sometimes.

I don't like their full screen instant replays. Also, really weird booking in this match as so far the face has just been dominating everything.

Taz just referred to Hardy as "The Bizarre One". Gimmick Infringement.

hahaha yeah kind of corny man..I dunno for some reason I like the style of the video production

Bobby Roode wins when Kurt Angle shows up and does one move to Hardy.

Hardy pretty much dominated the entire match though.

Anyways, 20 minute World Title Match just happened. Honestly not sure where the show can go from here.

WTF is this. Backstage, Bobby Roode giving a promo to a camera.... but we are seeing it from the vantage point of another camera, so there is zero eye contact and we are just seeing it from a side view.

And here comes Sting. Apparently there is going to be another World Title match tonight or something.

Eric Young looking like a hobo for some reason.

WTF is James Storm wearing. Didn't even recognize it was him. Also, this backstage camera work is beginning to really grind my gears. "Sting is talking with his hands! Snap zoom to a close up of his hands! Now snap zoom back out to see his face! AWESOME!"

The booking makes sense given the finish/storyline. Roode keeps weaseling past his opponents. This booking shows that Hardy "should" be champion but for Angle getting involved.

I think what they're going for is "Roode is talking to somebody (presumably a producer or off screen interviewer) whilst this camera picks it up". Honestly it's more "natural" than a guy grabbing a camera a talking down the lense at nobody in particular. It's just we're used the latter so the former seems VERY weird.

Austin Aries is here, and he is wearing a cape.

Xema Ion is also here and looking extremely weird and spraying something all over himself.

Damn. Heard the machine gun sound so I was like "Awesome, the MCMG are still around!" but then it turned out to be Alex Shelley and Shannon Moore.

Yeah, Sabin is pretty injured right now.

Apparently it was hair spray that Xema Ion was spraying, which begs the question why he was spraying it all over his chest when he entered.

Total Non-Stop Action in this match. Even the ref's count at the end was a fast count.

Knockouts battle royale right now. I like the attention the women's division gets in this company.

Greatly enjoyed that segment.

Oh boy. Eric Bischoff is next!


Also, whoever does the voiceover for their "TNA World Tour" segment is absolutely terrible.

Actually, I take back my sarcastic "Oh boy". I forgot how much I like Bischoff on the mic.

Bischoff just broke out the "future endeavors" line though.

Bully Ray in great shape. Check those calfes.

Plugging new Spike MMA show right now.

Eric Young serenading ODB right now. Glad this guy is back to being goofy. He's better at it than being serious.

Through his entrance alone, Bully Ray has got me to absolutely love him.

Honestly I give you two weeks before you say Fuck This Shit.

Nice match between Storm and Bully Ray. Like both of these guys.

D-Lo Brown and Al Snow sighting. Did not know they worked for TNA.

I love this thread

Bobby Roode beating up Sting now, and the new #1 contender James Storm doesn't even come to save him.

Show is over. It was actually pretty decent. Definitely not horribly terrible turn off the TV stuff as it was the last time I tried to watch.

Thought this would be harder than it was, but I find myself actually looking forward to next week.

Still can't stand their backstage camera style, but there were no long drawn out backstage segments, so I could tolerate it.

TNA is underated around here, glad you found it better than you expected. With Russo also just left the company hopefully TNA will be on the up and up. Good read btw

I just finished, too. Pretty good show. Madison Rayne is a boner machine.
