TNA has been entirely watchable recently.
 
There have been some pretty fantastic matches over the past few weeks, and the storylines haven't even been ridiculous. Bully Ray might be the best heel in all of wrestling.

I'm not really sure what I'm getting at, so let's discuss our favorite things in TNA at the moment.

VSG 05-29-2012 04:02 PM

Bought a house show ticket for June 16 with the meet n greet option. I may have to watch TNA the week before to figure out who are the faces and who the heels. Meeting Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy will be the bomb though. Too bad my camera is not allowed, only "small cameras". May have to use the camera on my phone.

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 04:04 PM

No cameras? Really?

Jordan 05-29-2012 04:05 PM

I like Jeff Hardy's look lately, fn frightening.

VSG 05-29-2012 04:05 PM

Ya, pretty insane rule. Just for the TNA event apparently, the venue has no issues with other events.

VSG 05-29-2012 04:06 PM

To verify, small cameras are allowed such as the ones on phones. Not actual cameras.

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 04:08 PM

FACES:
AJ Styles
Kurt Angle
Jeff Hardy
Mr. Anderson
Austin Aries
Matt Morgan
Samoa Joe (I think)
D-Von
James Storm
Sting

HEELS:
Bobby Roode
Bully Ray
Crimson
Gunner


Uhhh....why am I blanking on heels right now?

Wolfpack423 05-29-2012 04:09 PM

Yeah, TNA has been good this year!! I think Roode is a phenomenal champion. I like his era of dominance at the moment. Bully Ray is an excellent heel. Angle vs. Styles is my favorite match this year so far from Sacrifice. Looking forward to the tag title match with Angle and Styles vs. Daniels and Kaz at Slammiversary. Austin Aries is on fire and one of the most exciting male performers in wrestling right now. The Styles/Dixie thing is interesting so far. Let's see where they take it.

The Knockouts division has been good. Gail's reign as champion has been good and each match on PPV in the division has been really good from Mickie vs. Gail at Genesis to Tara vs. Gail at Against All Odds to Madison Rayne vs. Gail at Victory Road (my personal favorite one) to Velvet Sky vs. Gail at Lockdown to Tessmacher vs. Gail at Sacrifice-it has all been solid. The triple threat last week with Gail vs. Tessmacher vs. Velvet was good as well. There have been some good tag matches as well especially Mickie and Velvet vs. Madison and Sarita in February.

My favorite title match this year was James Storm vs. Bobby Roode at Lockdown. All in all I am very impressed with the current landscape at TNA. Since they've gotten rid of Russo (which was a main reason why we were getting so many crappy angles and stipulations) it's been good. I've liked it alot since Lockdown of last year so I've been into the product a great deal. I've really liked the Knockouts division since October of 2010 though and the Mickie vs. Tara series and Madison's reign as champion.

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 04:12 PM

Yeah, the Knockouts have been tearing it up. I never thought Tessmacher was actually going to turn out to be a decent wrestler.

And you know what? I'm even interested in Joseph Park and that whole mess.

Just realized this could be a result of Hogan's new initiative to turn TNA audience into paparazzi using their phones to click "hidden" pictures of TNA talent.

steveweiser 05-29-2012 04:15 PM

Well i love Bobby Roode, hes way up there for me in terms of who i want to watch. Bully Ray is awesome and plays his character far too well.. kinda scary how well. Austin Aries is the man to watch, again up there with Roode for me. Looking forward even to where the Abyss and Joseph Parks storyline ends up.

Even the little things like the cameras following backstage and the bit at the begining of last weeks iMPACT with Hogan, Hardy, Angle and Bully was great to watch, different than abything done in pro wrestling i can think of. Shame Shelley has left because now we might lose tag teams all together in TNA but lets wait and see. All in all im loving TNA's product right now and have for a while to be honest, why people cant accept both WWE and TNA i have no idea.

JT 05-29-2012 04:25 PM

Haven't watched TNA in forever (probably last noticed it when Hulk Hogan came in).

Maybe I'll check it out again.

abyss is pretty good on the mic, wish he left the mask sooner.

Damn it, did Shelley leave for real? I was wondering where he had gone already.

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 05:26 PM

The only thing that really bugs me about TNA right now is Garrett Bischoff. I don't think it would be possible for me to give less of a fuck about that guy.

Hanso Amore 05-29-2012 07:08 PM

I demand you post clips that show anything of value.

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 07:12 PM

Dunno why this was the first thing to pop into my head, but:

Other heels include Christopher Daniels, Kazarian, Zema Ion, Robbie E and Robbie T

Damndirty 05-29-2012 07:27 PM

I wish Crimson wasn't a heel, wish even more they didn't pair him up with Matt Morgan

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 07:31 PM

I think Crimson is much better as a heel, and apparently Matt Morgan doesn't work there anymore.

Damndirty 05-29-2012 07:35 PM

I wanted him to take on Roode for the title, that way both have something to lose.

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 07:37 PM

Ohhh, that could have been cool. Maybe he can take on Sting for the title after he inevitably ends Roode's reign.

Damndirty 05-29-2012 07:49 PM

That would be two cool PPV main events already lined up, if they pull this off right.

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 07:51 PM

I know somebody already mentioned it, but that segment with Angle, Hardy, Bully Ray, and AJ in Hogan's office at the beginning of the last show was really cool to me. I'd never seen anything like it.

Damndirty 05-29-2012 08:01 PM

I think the Hogan's Open Fight Night is a good idea, kinda confused me at first though.

VSG 05-29-2012 08:01 PM

Is there a video of this segment anywhere? I do not know which date that show aired on, and so no point searching on YouTube.

Damndirty 05-29-2012 08:15 PM

Yeah, I wanna check it out too. Usually, they aired show is a week old.

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 08:24 PM

I can't embed, but here's the whole show. It's like the first thing after the recaps.

VSG 05-29-2012 08:26 PM

Well even the recaps make it seem like a reality show

The scene definitely plays up the drama.

VSG 05-29-2012 08:30 PM

Pretty much did a loud "Ha!" when Hardy went "Works for me, your son loves me" to Angle.

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 08:35 PM

Yeah, that was nice. A callback to their feud.

Damndirty 05-29-2012 08:36 PM

Hey, that was actually pretty cool! That's better than 95% of WWE's segments.

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 08:41 PM

Hogan isn't even a detriment to the show. Weird.

Damndirty 05-29-2012 08:55 PM

Hogan's showing more legitimacy in a managing position. People can say what they want about him, but I think him being there helps that company out quite a bit.

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 08:57 PM

As long as he's not wrestling, I'm cool with him. Quite the talker, really, but we all knew that already.

Damndirty 05-29-2012 10:57 PM

Yeah, I agree not for him to be wrestler, though he still has that influence on people and probably will until the day he dies.

Dukelorange 05-29-2012 11:41 PM

I watch for the Knockouts Division... Velvet and Brooke are my favs...

Anybody Thrilla 05-29-2012 11:51 PM

Madison Rayne is probably my favorite.
