:-\

Since I'm going to be watching I figured I'd go ahead and post in case anyone wants to join.

I might watch it, but I'll probably watch it tomorrow. So I can skip commercials, and any time Hulk Hogan is on screen.

:shifty: nWo shirt sighting :shifty:

I want what just happened gif'ed yo, Bully Ray and bearded midget stare down to kick off Impact!

Shit, I missed that.

As cheesy as it is I enjoy Bully Ray's current gimmick.

Oh. I thought this started at 8 and figured there were no live streams at my usual locations only because it was TNA.

I enjoy the nostalgia of Hulk Hogan being on my TV in 2013.

He's weird as fuck on the mic nowadays though. lol

I enjoy the BFG series.

Yea, I turned the tv on and the movie Piranha was on, so I watched Chappelle's Show until this came on.

So I feel like the smart thing to do would be to have AJ Styles win the BFG series and challenge Bully Ray for the title as a "lone wolf" who isn't doing it for TNA but for himself.

AJ needs it.

Not .gif form, but here is the stare down to kick off the show.

Kind of looks like Paul Bearer is in spirit form photobombing this moment

I'm watching TNA live for the first time in quite a while and I feel like this thread is gonna resemble that Destination X PPV thread where it was just St. Jimmy talking to himself for 5 pages.

But yeah. From what I've seen from AJ Styles' current character, he is loner Sting at the moment. Not affiliated with TNA or Aces and 8's. It's literally the exact same story of Sting with the NWO/WCW angle but it seems like a good way to get AJ over for good. The next logical step is for AJ to be the man to win the BFG series and for TNA as a company to want to bring him back to their side so that he can bring the title back.

lol

I agree but if he isn't already over at this point he never will be, but I think he is.

A.J. also has the anti-WWE aura to him as well, similar to Sting's stance.

But I mean... He's THE franchise of TNA but if you really look at it, he's always been pushed to the back burner in favor of whatever WWE guy has been brought over.

It's time for them to make their #1 homegrown guy look above the WWE talent and push him for more than a couple months as THE guy.

Off topic but this just occurred to me, is your Walter avatar supposed to look like Gordon Freeman?

Hernandez is a brick shithouse, moves real well for a big guy too.

lol. Chavo "angrily" kicking the ropes right there was a ridiculous attempt at acting mad.

Not sure, but Cranston would nail that role for Half-Life

That's not a problem with AJ though, that's a problem with TNA. They strive so hard to compete with WWE that they can't help themselves but to push whatever castaway they get to appear on par with WWE.

And they'll continue to do that.

My satellite signal has gone down, no bad weather. :(

I never said it was a problem with AJ. It's COMPLETELY a TNA booking problem. And pushing AJ in the way I described would be a good way to take big strides toward fixing that. Have him be the savior to take the title from Aces and 8's while TNA is trying to bring him back to their side.

And don't push him back down to the TV Title picture 6 months later.

Agreed.

Joseph Park appearance?

Yep!

Fuck DirecTV do you have a stream?

I feel like Joseph Park/Abyss doesn't get enough credit for how good he is.

Probably because he does it in TNA where no one gets noticed for anything... But still.

Rep coming...

спасибо

I enjoy this Joseph Park/Abyss thing.

It's nice to see a wrestling company try and not sit down and pull names out of hats for 10 minutes, put them in matches and collect a paycheck.

For some reason, Robbie E reminds me of a mix between Lex Luger and Zack Ryder. I expected him to say "Superbrawl Saturday!?" at some point during that promo.

Samoa Joe is another guy that has been handled horribly. I remember when the guy was being booked as almost unbeatable. Another guy they fucked up royally when they got distracted by guys with names WWE made.

I was happy to see Shark Boy back for that brief moment for the James Storm storyline. Another TNA original

I still wish WWE had picked him up so I could see more of his matches with Punk.

But yea I feel like they have, creative wise, fucked over much of their earlier talent in favor of WWE guys.

Rampage vs Angle could be awesome...

Wow, Noid called this kind of
