Impact Wrestling Discussion

[newport king]

That was more coherent. Steiner rules.

[styckx]

TNA got an original idea and didn't copy something WWE did and is blowing up the wrestling world!

Just joking.. They brought in an MMA guy.

New York, NY, May 10, 2012 – In an unprecedented move, one of the biggest names in mixed martial arts, “King Mo” Lawal, has signed a deal to compete in Spike TV’s two major sports properties, Bellator Fighting Championships and TNA’s IMPACT Wrestling. “King Mo” will join the stars of TNA this summer and resume his mixed martial arts career next year when Bellator Fighting Championships moves to Spike TV from its current television home, MTV2. The deal was jointly announced today by Kevin Kay, President, Spike TV along with Bjorn Rebney, Chairman & CEO, Bellator Fighting Championships and Dixie Carter, President, TNA Entertainment.

Scott Steiner at it again...LMAO

"Havent tweeted lately bcuz I got a letter from a lawyer representing hogan n bitchoff basically saying

They take my tweets seriously and if threats continue they will take to law enforcement....really hogan my

Tweets scare you,Ive said worse in interviews on tv,LOL,I want to thank you bcuz your actions speak

Louder than any words that i could have spoken,sorry for scaring you maybe I will challenge you to a game

Of checkers,

Just when u didnt think it could get any worse in Tna,it has and guys are pissed bcuz hogan has brought

In his no talent daughter,FF'n unbelievable,

When i said guys were pissed thats putting it mildly

[cougarjake13]

Wow nick couldn't hack it so he brings in Brooke?

God I hope she gets a train run on her

[TripleSkeet]

Whats nuts is I kinda want to watch it now just to see all the shit hes making fun of.

[cougarjake13]

The product is god awful I tapped out many months ago and I was surprised booby roode was still champ


609 chants R funny now that I know what they were for

[Chimee]

The thing that kills me about TNA is that every once in a while, they do something good that shows what the company could be. I watched the last PPV and it was pretty good, everyone tried, nothing was overbooked, and there was no sign of Hogan or the Bischoffs, but then I read the spoilers for the next two weeks of Impact where they have four matches to get into a fatal-fourway the next week for a shot at the title later in the show. I'm fine with that, decent enough way to determine a number-one contender, but then at the second show, there is no fourway match, Hogan just comes out at the end and picks someone to wrestle Roode for the title and then Sting comes back to main event the next PPV.

[Chimee]

Not to be outdone by WWE, TNA is moving their timeslot up an hour and apparently is going to be airing live throughout the summer.

i heard about the time change didnt know about live


could be good but last time they tried it sucked and they had plenty of former wwe guys used to live tv

[TripleSkeet]

Yea well lets see what Hogan has to say when it tanks again. That was his big reason that TNA sucked, it wasnt live.

[TripleSkeet]

Big Poppa Pump makes Twitter so fucking entertaining...

OMG..hogan i cant believe you admitted you got a lawyer like I said,I expected you to lie and deny

It,bcuz dont you realize that when you admitted that you proved to the world that what i was saying about

You was true! Calling you a pussy n a bitch etc..is my opinion but you admitting you got a lawyer proves

That you are,and since you admitted to getting a lawyer can you tell everybody exactly what

Tweet scared you..LOL..instead of wasting your money on a lawyer you should hire a P.R. firm bcuz

Like ive been saying all along,if you ain't saying your catchphrases you sound like a complete idiot

And maybe that P.R. firm can help your daughter too! Bcuz she admitted she could be a great

Whore,when she tweeted that she could make more money on her back than I did in my wrestling career

LOL.. Well i accept that challenge,bcuz i dont think she can,Good Luck Brooke,maybe you could do

A porn flick like your dad did,or do one with him,

U need to go to Rent-a-Center and rent a brain,bcuz if you check out the websites im not the only one

Who thinks your a idiot

[Chimee]

Steiner needs a translator.

[TripleSkeet]

Steiner needs a translator.

Hogan and Bischoff had lawyers contact him about his tweets, saying he was "threatening" them. Then Hogan tweeted something saying he called his lawyers, and that he hopes Steiner is making alot of money from the indies because he was going to sue him.

[styckx]

Preview of how TNA is changing.. This is actually entertaining.. Reminds me a little of the great off the cuff backstage segments WWE did in the AE mixed w/ a splash of reality TV.

I mean.. Jeff Hard actually made me lol and Hogan doesn't come off like a douchey.. Really well done. I hope they finally turn the corner because WWE is sooooo fucking bad lately I'm open to anything that is just different for entertainment.

[Chimee]

I'm tentatively watching mostly because they're going to be live and every other thing on Thursdays has ended.

[cougarjake13]

Is that on impact or is that just something from the website

[styckx]

It was on Impact.

Here is the entire 15 minute show opener.. They are starting to actually be very tolerable. The segment is a little long but it is really good imo.

Actual segment starts at 40 seconds

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7Oo12E3uTZs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[RingWraith]

Jeff Hardy is still employed!?! :blink:

[CYYYFYYY]

I agree this segment was very good. I really liked how Bully Rays character handled himself. TNA has done a great job with him

[conman823]

An fuck, you guys are gonna have me watching again this coming Thursday.

[cougarjake13]

I'll def tune in for a lil

so who got the shot and who won?

[TripleSkeet]

Wow. Bubba Ray finally got himself some good juice. Guys like 45 years old and looks better then he has at any point in his career.

[styckx]

AJ got the shot and Roode won cleanly after a **** match. That was shot to shit by Hogan announcing Roode is facing Sting live on Thursday in a lumberjack match but hopefully they are bringing sting back just to hype up Impact going live. Most are expecting a dusty finish and Sting to go away again.

And Bubba has completely reinvented himself as a legit singles threat.. He's awesome. His match Vs Austin Aries at Sacrifice stole the show.

[Chimee]

Wow. Bubba Ray finally got himself some good juice. Guys like 45 years old and looks better then he has at any point in his career.

I watched that and then watched a Dudleys match from ECW and couldn't believe it was the same person.

[cougarjake13]

Yeh they decided to make him a singles guy and then after awhile he went away and came back jacked

[NickyL0885]

I'm watching it right now and it's....awful. Production seems 2nd rate compared to WWE. The Orlando sound stage is horrible. Say what you want about WWE and their storylines, but at least the other stuff they do is pulled off well. I get that they have more money, but how can TNA get any chance to compete if they do shows on that shitty stage? Only guy I could see in WWE is AJ Styles, although he may never do it if he hasn't done it already.

[styckx]

Tonight was awful. They were on such a great roll lately then just kick themselves in the balls with shit like tonight.

The opening segment made no sense. Remember: "WE"RE ALL ABOUT CHANGE AND YOUNG TALENT!"

Opening segment is your heavyweight Champion, the guy carrying the fucking company tapping clean to a 53 year old and the announcers act like Ryback just squashed a local jobber. Then Hogan announces that Sting is the #1 guy in the company and makes Roode (who was just made out to look like a jobber) Vs Sting on PPV..

Yeah, great way to make new viewers want to come back next week..

http://allthingsd.com/files/2011/11/double_facepalm.png

the funniest part of that segment was the dramatic pause before Hogan announced "...and it's for the title". OMG OMG OMG, a PPV title fight? What the fuck else would it be?

This was my first viewing in months, and they're still doing Daniels vs. Styles matches???

[Chimee]

Trying to take the positive approach to the show, I'm looking forward to seeing the Aries vs. Joe match that they teased and as far as I'm concerned, that's all that happened on the show.

[TripleSkeet]

Just as I was about to start watching, apparently their lawyers have been able to stop Steiner from tweeting. I now am now back to having zero interest in checking it out.

[conman823]

I watched it and it actually wasn't all that bad. I would say I hit the FFWD button far LESS then I do on RAW the last month.

I thought the Aries/Sabin match, and Styles/Daniels match (Although done a million times) were better quality WRESTLING matches then anything RAW's put out lately.

They feature thier midcarders, which is a talent lacking in WWE these days.

As far as the opening segment, hey it is what it is. I don't agree that Sting should be in a title run at this point, but the win he got wasn't for the title and I don't think they will ultimately put the title on him.

A few quick comments on individuals:
Bully Ray- Looks great/still an awesome talker

AJ Styles- Get to WWE ASAP.

Austin Aries- I am very impressed, they should be building him to a World Title Picture soon.

Daniels- I never liked him as a wrestler, but tonight I saw something better for him. Manager, who can wrestle occasionally.

I FFWD through any Brook Hogan shit.

[cougarjake13]

That Brooke segment was boring and unnecessary

[cougarjake13]

And she caked on more make up then sting and Jeff hardy combined

[MIKEYDAKEN]

I just can't understand why they picked sting as the first hall of fame guy. Fucking aj styles has been breaking his ass keeping this company alive while they ship in wwe rejects every month. What a slap in the face to him and his talent.

[epo]

Or is it tribute to Sting for being the bigger "star" and quite frankly older.

[TripleSkeet]

Another cheap win for Roode. They wont even let him beat a 53 year old dinosaur clean.

[TripleSkeet]

FINALLY....Steiners back on Twitter!!!

After brooke hogan tweeted that she could make more money on her back than i did in my wrestling career

Which i accepted and i will get into later,a high ranking official from TNA (who i respect)called me and

Without going into the whole conversation he ask me to stop tweeting and since im trying to

Save TNA from the same fate as WCW,and this official also has TNA's best interest in mind i agreed

Until bitchoff opened his mouth spewing his bullshit as usual,but first since i missed brookes debut,I know

The camera adds 10 lbs but OMG how big is her head,did everybody notice when they were advertising her

For the show they had a picture of her that looked totally differerent of her when she walked out,how many

Gallons of paint did it take to airbrush that big head...and this is why i accepted her challenge that she

Could make more money on her back,even though guys have fetishes and sometime guys are just bored

But she has too many physical variables and abnormalities to be competitive or make money as a whore

Keep in mind she could have issued the challenge that she could make more money singing but she chose

Prostitution bcuz even she knows her singing sucks...her dad took her to a few music studios in nashville

in a last ditch effort and of course they got laughed out of the studio...same results cant sing cant dance and shes an amazon

Alot of responses to her debut was that she was a amazon..she has fat knees,cankles and did i mention she has a big head

Spinkled with a lil transvestite dust

So with the horrible ratings and reviews of his daughter what does hogan do;re-tweets a sexual tweet bcuz

The guy asks him too! LOL what a fucking idiot..need some ppl to tweet hogan the most vulgar sexual laced tweets and lets see if

The dumbass will re-tweet them

For 21/2 yrs since hogan bitchoff n pritchard have been in charge the ratings have sucked and TNA continues

To lose more and more of its fanbase and they think bringing in hogan's no talent daughter in will help

The ratings.....they are fn crazy....the knockouts are pissed and think shes a joke

You want a storyline you want ratings make brooke the chazz bono of tna,minus the

Penis implant,bcuz he/she has to have a vagina like her dad

Not only is tna wasting money on flying his daughter to the shows,TNA also pays to fly her dog with her

Unbelievable!!!!

In 21/2 yrs hogan hasnt drawn a rating so what genius thinks his daughter will....and the dog???

Getting feedback from some fans at ppv..and they took the 609 signs from them...but cant silence the 609 chants

Power to the people

Brooke Tessmacher will now be called miss tessmacher bcuz hogan wants it that way.....really

How about brooke A and brooke B ...A is for amazon B is for beautiful..guess which brooke is the amazon

[cougarjake13]

Steiner rules

[styckx]

That PPV last night was easily the best PPV (even counting WWE) I've seen in about 2-3 years.. Solid straight through.. Even the throw away match was good. Fucking Parks commitment to the Joseph Parks character is amazing.. We all know it's just abyss but he changed every single thing about him. Facial expressions, mannerisms, talking style.. He even looked green as shit wrestling. He really made it believable there was really two people and it wasn't just abyss dressed nice w/ a haircut.

[Chimee]

I liked everything until the main event where everything reverted to business as usual with TNA.

The thing that I think that they should take from this, though, is that doing these shows on the road lead to much livelier crowds.

[spe5150]

I liked everything until the main event where everything reverted to business as usual with TNA.

Agreed...the AA/Joe match that jerked the curtain was one of the best matches I've seen in 5+ years, easily. That's what TNA used to be about.

The thing that I think that they should take from this, though, is that doing these shows on the road lead to much livelier crowds.

Again, agreed. It's better for a big night like a PPV....but it might be even more important for those iMPACT! tapings when they do serve up drizzling shit on a paper plate. It helps to be in a venue large enough where you can't hear individual people cough or start a derisive one-man chant the whole night.

[Dirtbag]

If it was business as usual Sting would have left with the belt. As dumb as the finish was at least Roode is still champion.

[Chimee]

But they go with an idiotic finish to protect a man in his fifties who would still be over huge if he lost every match from now until he dies.

[styckx]

TNA is so god damn awesome... Austin Aries is your new World Heavyweight Champion pinning Bobby Roode clean.. Whole PPV was fantastic (again)..

TNA is on absolute fire destroying WWE in every aspect possible.

Do you own stock in TNA or are you related to Dixie Carter?

TNA is fucking DOGSHIT.

[MIKEYDAKEN]

TNA is fucking DOGSHIT.

they have been solid the last couple of months and now i guess they got the memo that people want new stars.

[styckx]

Yup.. The tide changed months ago.. I gave up on WWE.

I mean I just sat through a 3hr PPV that had NINE matches EVERY match ended cleanly, every single match was pure quality, ZERO HOGAN, in that 3 hours was maybe a total combined 15 minutes of promo time and Austin Aries taking the World Championship belt cleanly..

Edit: Someone just did the math: 100 minutes of bell-to-bell match time, in the 170 minute show.

All you really need to do is read around the net.. TNA isn't the same retirement home it once was and changed months ago when Russo left the company. Even when Hogan does appear anymore all he does it put over (on the mic, he is done wrestling) people up and down the roster and he's only on TV for maybe 5 minutes on average anymore..

[Dirtbag]

TNA has been a lot better, but the AJ/Dixie stuff is unwatchable and worse than anything WWE has done in years. Yet that's what they decide to devote lots of TV time to.

[cougarjake13]

I was hoping he'd win and it just seemed like that was where they were heading with all the backstory stuff of Aries much like they did with roode and hogan fluffing him

Skip to 9:30 for the ending.

Even the Impact Zone audience has changed drastically. True fans out number tourists but a shit load now a days. Listen to that crowd for Aries. The crowd was HOT the entire night and it's a consistent thing now.

did you take raw seriously the first few years when they were locked into the Manhattan center?

93

so u wulda been 7

[brettmojo]

Didn't they once have ECW invade WWF in that place? I think that's the oldest RAW I remember watching. It was around the time Austin came over from WCW as the Million Dollar champion or whatever.

[cougarjake13]

But until they travel for Impact each and every week like WWE does for Raw and Smackdown, I can't take them seriously.



theyre moving towards that
they've have ppv's outside of impact zone and a few reg impacts too I think

[MIKEYDAKEN]

theyre moving towards that
they've have ppv's outside of impact zone and a few reg impacts too I think

and it's a start but they have to work it all out before they turn house show into tv show, remember the raws in the mid to late 90's where the arena looked almost so small that it could fit into your house? then there was nitro with full on arenas packed to the rafters (if all were paying customers is another story) but wwe worked up the ladder to where they are now and i hope tna can do the same in the next ten years. conversations like this make me miss Spicy McHaggis.

[conman823]

If they came to tape Impact anywhere in the NYC/Philly area I would be there.

I was at the MCU show in Cooney Island a few years ago and had a great time. The crowd was hot all night.

[cougarjake13]

I think they've done house shows up there but no impacts
and there's been a few ppv's taped outside of impact zone as well so if they keep doing like that and maybe add a few more ppv's and some impacts they can build up to doing it like wwe every week
right now I don't know if they can afford to do road shows every week

[conman823]

TNA seems to be getting back some of their old fire back. I'm strongly considering DVRing it weekly again.

Still this AJ Styles mistress angle is RAW worthy in its awfulness

[cougarjake13]

agreed I thought they'd drop it with they're not havin an affair but they're just keepIng it goin with the baby momma drama

otherwise it's been pretty good lately

[Chimee]

I have Directv, so I'll have to take your word for it.

[conman823]

Good interview with AJ Styles. A talent I think should at least have 1 run in WWE just for the sheer amount of good matches he could have with people like Punk, Bryan, Jericho, and Ziggler.

Plus since Orton is on his way out, WWE should be scouting a good replacement for him and I think Styles would be great.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UTE-DPDyaY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[Chimee]

The problem with AJ is that he is so deeply connected to TNA that he would be given a horribly shitty name and gimmick and buried at the bottom of Superstars if he jumped ship.

[conman823]

I bet if he's honest that's what he would say scares him. Although I think his name wouldn't change because he's been around to long (like Punk) he'd most likely start mid carding.

Just a shame cause a lot of my current dream matches involve him, Samoa Joe and Bobby Roode

[styckx]

Last night TNA had yet another quality PPV.. The main event of Roode Vs Aries definitely is worth the watch alone.. Long ass match, nice spin on the ending. Both guys worked stiff and had great chemistry.

it's still going on

have they revealed whose behind it

one of the main guys looks like its Samoa joe covered up

no unmasking yet but the big guy is luke gallows, they signed him a few weeks ago and all the other guys have been unsigned indie workers and i know one was domino from wwe. but so far no unmasking yet that i know of

ah ok cause in a few of those segments there's a short stocky guy with sunglasses and a voice changer gimmick but the body type looks like Samoa joe

[conman823]

Watched again last night, and I might become a regular again. Lots of good wrestling and Storylines. The only bad things I could find were the aces & 8's gimmick where an aged and decrepit Hogan is trying to play the tuff guy and an obvious loss in the talent of the knockout division.

Other then that, I would have held it up against any recent RAW.

Yup.. Been watching it all summer.. It has it's weak points but by and large much much better than RAW on a consistent level and the wrestling is incredible.

what loss is that ??

[conman823]

Angelina Love & Velvet Sky for the most part.

Taras crazy gimmick is getting old and Mrs Tesmacher has as much skill as Mike Tenay.

There's other females out there in the indys they could bring in to bolster the ranks but from all accounts they're trying to scale back $$ big time.

Also props to Bully Ray for really proving he can be a main event singles guy. He looks like he's in the shape of his life.

[cougarjake13]

hadn't realized that they were both gone

[MIKEYDAKEN]

the writers for tna have done what wwe hasn't been able to do in years they kept the payoff secret and made it worth it. great swerve great use of an expiring contract.

[styckx]

Agreed. Devon may not be a huge money maker but I don't give a fuck. I was fooled and completely swerved by pro wrestling tonight and it was fucking awesome because no one has been able to do it in over a decade.

Awesome job to TNA for actually doing it.. The complete indifference and "this is awkward chant" from the crowd was also awesome.. They honestly had no idea how to react to that. No one did..

[newport king]

Care to explain for those who didnt see

[MIKEYDAKEN]

Care to explain for those who didnt see

devon was unmasked as one of the aces and eights after they didn't resign him when the contracts were up.

[styckx]

It was just so well done..

Devon just disappears from TV..
Dirt sheets pick up on Devon wasn't resigned
Devon chatters up vague references to WWE.
Eventually posts a RAW t-shirt on Twitter
Hogan says during an interview that it was a mistake to let him slip through the cracks
TNA held a tournament for the now vacant TV title

Devon later appears out of no where in a major story line that in turn swerves every wrestling fan and dirt sheet.

[cougarjake13]

fuck wish I watched

[spe5150]

Good payoff on the Aces & Eights story line. Actually, a really good PPV from bell to bell...right up to the point that they put their big strap back on Jeff "Disaster Waiting to Happen" Hardy. Though it was a good & entertaining match, I guess I'll just never understand the idea of making this guy the hood ornament for wrestling company.

[NickyL0885]

If TNA makes a great storyline, and no one watches, does it really matter? Asking for a friend.

[MIKEYDAKEN]

Yes cause it will help give an alternative to wwe

[conman823]

Nobody watches it because its not marketed right and a lot of people think because the production value is shit compared to WWE then it must suck.

Sports Entertainment fans love WWE, wrestling fans love Wrestling. I'll watch TNA, ROH, or even anything on youtube I can get from Japan.

[Kevin]

I dont know anything about it but Aces and Eights is such a gay name for a storyline.

[MIKEYDAKEN]

I dont know anything about it but Aces and Eights is such a gay name for a storyline.

they used the dead mans hand as their calling card at first and now they seem to be a biker gang.

[cougarjake13]

I dont know anything about it but Aces and Eights is such a gay name for a storyline.



it's not a name for storyline line as much as its the name of group


at least it's not gay like wwe with team this and team that

[MIKEYDAKEN]

Why is Jeff hardy allowed to use his shitty design of a belt again? Is he that self centered that he wants his face on the world title

[cougarjake13]

that's fucking disgraceful and prolly means he's keeping it awhile

Agreed. I am not watching TNA for awhile.. I was convinced they finally got it over the summer and now TNA is back to being TNA.

Hogan has slowly but surely injected himself into almost every storyline somehow.. During the PPV when he took out half of an entire faction with one punch was fucking gross. Sting god bless him but is also somehow dominating storylines again..

Yet ironically Samoa Joe is having some of the best matches he's had in years all summer and continues to not be a lazy fat fuck.. But TNA being TNA puts him in a fued with Robbie E.. The same guy who jobbed to Devon for the TV Title OVER 9000 FUCKING TIMES.. smh...

Sadly the Knockouts storylines are more compelling then most others right now. TNA dropped the ball on the Devon storyline last night with the NWOesqe clusterfucker at the end.

[conman823]

I can't understand why they worship the ground Jeff Hardy walks on. He sells merch? Big deal. He is not someone I would want my kids looking up to. Say what u want about Cena but I'd rather my 5 year old have him as a role model rather then some druggy loser.

Its being said they put the belt on him to keep him in the company. He's an "old guy" too at this point. He ain't the dare devil he was 13 years ago thats for sure.

Their Maine event seen should be built around Aries Joe and AJ plain and simple. Hardy Sting and Hogan should be bit.players if in it at all.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Dixie's big announcement was that Impact will be going on the road for its weekly shows.

[cougarjake13]

they had to at some point

[newport king]

So im watching TNA. Its pretty terrible. Theres some young talent on the roster for sure. The knockouts are way skankier. In a good way.

Brooke Hogan is the fuckin worst. I havent seen Jeff Hardy. I think hes the champ(which i find shocking). I know theyre in England. Im guessing he had trouble trying to go there with his legal status. Theres gonna be a heel turn coming up. Bully Ray (who looks great) is the obvious choice. But you just know Hogan loves being a glory hog and is trying to redo the NWO.

Aces and Eights came out before it looked like NWO in the latter days when there was like 17 guys in it

[cougarjake13]

last time I watched bully was already a heel
did he turn face sometime ?

[newport king]

Apparently he married brooke hogan

[spe5150]

He's (Bully Ray) trying to do a quasi-Stone Cold thing. He's technically a face because the biker gang headed by Devon (Aces & Eights) are heels, but he goes out of his way to remind everyone that even though he "does the right thing" he's still "not a good guy."

Also of note (& a bummer), after Taz pulled his announcer heel turn at Bully & Brooke's wedding he mentioned "answering to a higher power" as his reason for joining up with Aces & Eights. I immediately got a douche-chill & now expect Eric Bischoff to be behind this biker gang take-over, trying to recapture a small sliver of that old nWo magic. Thus turning the first mildly interesting thing TNA has done (since pushing Aries to the top of the card) into an eventual steaming pile of Bisch.

They're already ahead of schedule with having way too many people join the outlaws. It started of as 4-6 anonymous guys in masks. Then Devon is revealed as the leader. Then D.O.C. (Luke Gallows) gets unmasked. Then (Mike) Knox gets unmasked, they persuade Mr Anderson to join by offering him some whores, Taz is revealed at the wedding, then Garett Bischoff & Wes Briscoe turn on Angle & are revealed as members (maybe the biggest "who gives a fuck" heel turn in history).

From the original rumors, there's still Chris Masters & DaveyBoy Jr. yet to be unmasked. So, much like the nWo, by the time everyone is unmasked & TNA faithful finish unnecessary heel turns, the roster should be about 50% Aces & Eights. :thumbdown:

or his contract which I think is up after mania

[MIKEYDAKEN]

They had such a great start with Devon being the guy at first I don't how this got so bloated, the L.W.O was booked better for Christ sakes.

[DarkHippie]

yesterday's show was the first time in a while that i was able to sit through the whole thing. That bump that Sting took from a guy in the crowd looked real. The fact that they didnt work it into a storyline makes me think that it was. anyone know the deal on that?

[styckx]

Very rarely do you get such a glimpse of the incompetence at TNA

According to ProWrestling.net, one half of the current TNA Tag Team Champions, Bobby Roode, has had his contract with the company expire.

Roode was scheduled to appear at this weekend's Lockdown fan fest, but was pulled at the last minute, and he hasn't appeared on television since the Impact tapings in the United Kingdom. Reports say that Bruce Prichard, the head of talent relations for TNA, mistakenly let the contract expire, and that TNA wasn't even aware of the situation until Roode himself brought it up to them.


How do you fucking forget to sign one of your bigger draws? Homegrown talent at that. :dry: Such dumb motherfuckers

Yeah but unlike WWE TNA has a lot of guys who can main event.. Hardy Vs Bully Ray for a PPV main event isn't exactly a bad thing..

[cougarjake13]

yeh I know that but I'm saying last year for months it was roode vs Aries for title and now they're tag champs ?

Old school heat.. Shit tossed in the ring by the fans..

He's been doing fantastic work in TNA. Its kinda like JBL when he first moved into the main event. He'd been midcard and tag team for nearly 20 years so you'd almost never even give him a shot. But he's pulling it off for sure.

[newport king]

How is jeff hardy still main eventing? He sucks. And he made a fool of himself and the organization when he came out fucked up. Are they afraid hes gonna leave if he isnt main eventing? I dont get it

[conman823]

Basically they stated they would keep him in the Main Event to hold onto him.

So yes, it's because he would leave and WWE would jizz everywhere to take him back.

Although if he is thinking of retiring anytime soon he should have one more run in WWE and take "Crazy" Kurt Angle with him. Both should finish up in WWE, as well as The Dudley's.

[cougarjake13]

they prolly will at some point

Is he supposed to be what Sting was in the NWO angle?

[Kevin]

Hogan and Sting are an embarrassment out there.

Brook is terrible.

The angle is NWO with a Biker twist...

Knockouts are much hotter than the divas though,

And I have to admit. Bubba has impressed me, he has really elevated his game.

He is in great shape and his mic skills are great.

[cougarjake13]

is that aj angle any better then the Chris Daniels - kazarian - Dixie carter with aj ?

[newport king]

No from what ive seen their writing is shitty across the board. I don't know if Hogan or Bischoff is the head booker but their stories reek of someone trying to recapture the glory years of WCW.

[newport king]

Agree with every word.

There's some talent on the roster that could make it in wwe. Bubba with his new persona (although he always had mic skills if you ever saw him in ecw.) Bobby Roode has a good look. Daniels/Kazarian...i think AJ is a little small but he's got a following. Samoa Joe clearly just doesn't give a fuck how he looks. And I'd give it 6 months till Hardy tests positive for something.

Where TNA stumbles in some of their weird storylines and sting/hogan appearances is that they aren't burying talent like they did in WCW.. They seemed to have learned their lesson in that regard. It's douchey but Sting and Hogan are actually putting over a lot of younger talent and also older talent that was never given the ball completely. ie: Bubba, Austin Aries, Bobby Roode..

The other area is the actual match quality on TV.. Most are highly unpredictable and hardly any are the "just going through basics" matches that WWE has.. At least one or two Impact matches are PPV quality in terms of length and risky moves executed.

[newport king]

Styckx, whatever happened to the Joseph Park/Abyss story? When i watch (very little) they don't seem to mention it much. I was impressed how he was able to become a completely different character

Kane grew his hair back in like 2 weeks. I loved how they never acknowledged that he started wearing two masks for no apparent reason

So I tried to give this garbage a shot.

Even though ACES AND EIGHTS was a thinly vailed, uncreative NWO biker twist angle, I tried to look past it.

AJ Styles and his terrible acting emo sting 2.0 gimmick I tried to look past it.

Brook and Hogans terrible acting and controbutions.. I tried to look past.

But last Impact, sting being named #1 contender for the world title finished it.

I am out.

I am done with this uncreative half assed garbage.

Vince and the WWE has nothing to fear from these uncreative monkies.

Yup. TNA has been ruined. It's a shame too because they have a really good talent pool (albeit that some trimming needs to be done). They just can't help themselves with the bad storylines.

Give Heyman control with 2 new young WRESTLING writers and the place would take off. Leave Bischoff and Hogan there, enjoy struggling to stay above water.
