Their world title looks like garbage. Which is a shame because thus far I am really digging the set and production values otherwise.

First actual match entire lackluster, and this dude's finisher seems to be a spinebuster (not a good looking Double-A one either).

Matt Morgan/Brutus Magnus main event. Fans are eating everything up.
They weren't silent once during the entire show. |

I don't know whether I love or hate the Dr. Nicholas Dinsmore character. Dinsmore seems to be walking a line between creepy and cheesy, and I kind of wish it was more of the former than the latter, but whatever.
Sonjay Dutt has me interesting. He's a size disadvantage to pretty much everybody, but he's ready to get in the face of Matt Morgan. There's an endearing character to his creepy-looking character. Truth be told -- a lot of the guys didn't really impress me as far as in-ring work goes, but given that they were working in front of an unusually hot crowd, I think that worked against them. There was too much pandering to them, but as they get used to performing there, they'll start to churn out more fluid stuff, I think. American Adonis has me interested. He plays the heel character with just enough of a wink. I don't know why he's not in the tournament, but whatever. As far as the alliance between Scott Steiner, Sir Brutus Magnus and Sonjay Dutt goes -- they seem to be talking to someone called "boss." It would not surprise me if this turns out to be Jeff Jarrett, but it certainly causes enough episodic interest. Overall, I'd say the project has got potential. They have great production -- they just need to find their feet and settle the performers into roles. |

The crowd has been worked well. It's not a largely wrestling fan crowd. Most of the people were brought in by the production house, and have been told to cheer wildly. Sadly, this event wasn't advertised or publicized at all.

iMPACT WRESTLING: Now available in a tangy Brown Sauce.
Also, even in a brand new promotion with some brand new talent: Matt Morgan is still the most green thing on screen. |

What I got out of watching this: if Veera isn't the winner of the tournament/title, he's going to be the babyface that chases it. It seems like they're setting up to push that guy as "the man".
Also, Chavo's theme is arguably better than anything else he's had. My personal feelings about seeing Chris Masters in any ring ever again aside, the least someone could have done was to cover up all the "M"s on his trunks and boots. Or at least style it to look like "AA" |

I think it's semi sad that this show was 10 times better than Impact this week. I understand half of what is being said but it still was a much more entertaining show. It's sad that you take Hogan, Bischoff and Flair out of the show and it gets that much better
Side note, whos the big Indian guy that seperates Matt Morgan and Steiner and that demented looking bald guy he came out with? |

You do understand that Indians speak the English language. It's one of the two main languages of the country. India also has a larger English speaking population than that of the United States.

The Championship belt makes the Divas Championship look like the World Heavyweight Championship.

For you see, in North America, when someone talks a language other than English for more than a sentence they get incredibly booed. Hence my jest saying that it was weird hearing cheers when people were speaking in foreign (to the North American perspective, ie. Not English) language. |

No. See. From the perspective of a dude in North America. We do not speak Indian everyday. So if a wrestler in North America was talking in Indian, he would get booed by the North American fans.
But in India, where they naturally understand what is being said, they do not get booed just for speaking the language. Thus my statement. Seeing someone speak Indian on the mic and not automatically getting booed is the opposite of what normally happens from my North American perspective. I am not talking about the English parts at all. |

My thoughts on the first show...
Pros: Scott Steiner - How f'n funny is this guy? Just let him talk, just let him talk Production - Look's f'n great, probably one of my favorite sets any non WWE show has had other than some choice WCW stuff Ring Girls - Sure it's proven that over half of them half STD's but so what, there are so many girls dancing at all times it can't be that bad Music - From what I could tell the ring music for entrances was awesome, and much better than TNA Magnus - Dude obviously "gets it" and deserves a chance to shine Bollywood - whatever I liked it Lots of Random Indian guys - It's cool to see new talent Cons: Lot's of Random Indian guys - The one guy the put in the semi's is a floppy hand failure Bad Wrestling - The matches were really basic and boring, nothing new here for me The Title - what... the... fuck? Too much talk in a language I don't understand - Or was something wrong with my tv? TNA Edits - At least every five seconds we cut the shot, it's annoying to my eyes, and some have reported it as "headache inducing" No Women Rasslers - with all the sluts at ringside why not some split tail scissoring a figure four in the ring? Just some random thoughts from an American |

Fragile X, this series is meant only for the Indian market. Hence the foreign language. If we weren't living in a globalized world, connected to each other thanks to the world wide web, you wouldn't have even been able to see the show so instantaneously.

thoughts watching episode 2:
ok - deadly danda is rolento out of street fighter alpha 3 isnt he? they seemed to be hyping maxx b a lot - that match with steiner just killed any good that did right there. hilarity insues over an american using a camel clutch as a finisher in an indian wrestling show without a hint of irony. the mumbai cats? what in the fuck? and is that other sheik hassan? bollywood boys look vaguely entertaining - similar to milk roulette - where you cant tell if its off or not until you've actually poured it into your tea. im guessing this Veera bloke is supposed to be the big hometown hero type nice to see dutt back on my tv without that crappy "guru" shite going on - that was abismal y'know what would be really helpful? if someone could do a little bit of a translation thing and whack some accurate CC subtitles on there for us single tongued plebs cracking match this with dutt and chavo... aww dammit they did a pn news and started playing his music before the 3 count, what? i swear if "boss" is jeff jarret im going to be so pissed off... |

Ring Ka King
So I watched the first episode of this "New" TNA promotion and to my "surprise" it sucked. Its just TNA with WWE rejects and indian people. woooo thy got Chavo, Masters, Luke Gallows. The champs were predictable and the tourne was lame and short... giggity.... so let me know what you think about it.
